Here’s my question…
What do you really, really want to know? Everyone has questions. Think about it.
Some are bold to ask, others are shy. Some pretend like they’ve got all the answers, others are all too happy questioning everything (thank-you, pre-schoolers!). Some have questions about God, others have them about our own lives. Some ponder philosophically (how can the bible teach that God is fully in control, and yet not the author of sin?), others want the bottom line (so what are we supposed to think/do about Gay marriage?). Some wonder about our church doctrine, others about personal lifestyle/discipleship stuff.
What’s your question? Where would you like some direction, answers, encouragement, help?
This summer, the preaching series is going to be addressing your questions. Write them as a comment on this blog. We’ll gather them together, and tackle one (or one grouping) each week during the summer months.
So, ask away, and we’ll get to as many of them as we can. And, thanks in advance for asking something that others also want to ask!
Blessings,
Jason

I have been told by Christians my entire life that when it is a person’s time to go(die) s/he will go. If that is true, then what is the point of
praying for those who are sick, hurt in accidents etc.?

I have two questions. The first is this-I had a co-worker ask me-after he had watched the History channel-where did the New Testament originate from and why were some books left out and others included. I could only tell him that in the NT there are references to the OT. So-where did our “handbook” come from? I feel like I should know the answer! My second question goes back to a past sermon of “once saved always saved.” What happens to those who accept Christ-but then through the course of their lives-back slide tremendously and leave the path of God. What happens to them when they die?
Thanks Jason. I get so much from everyone of your sermons. You are such a BLESSING to me and my family.

#1-A co-worker asked me-he’d watched the History channel on this subject-where did the New Testamnent originate from. #2 What happens to those who accept Chirst-but through the course of their lives turn their back on God. What happens when they die-I remember the sermon “once saved always saved” but I am still confused. Thanks Jason!

Hi Jason
So people are constantly saying (more in times now than ever before) that the end is near and Jesus is coming. Yes - I know he’s coming, but the Bible says even Jesus doesn’t know when that time will be, so how can we as the human race, say that it is near? When is near? Some say it will be in my lifetime - but how do we know this?
More to come - let me think on it and chat with Steve b/c I know he has some questions too!
Thanks!
