We can bring our questions to God.

Last week we asked the congregation to write down questions they or their friends have about faith in Jesus. And they responded!

Pastor Kurt wasn't able to answer all of your questions during the Sunday message, so he answered a few more here outside of our normal worship service.

HERE ARE THE QUESTIONS ADDRESSED IN THIS MESSAGE:

00:00 - Welcome to this bonus Q&A time

00:32 - How should church members deal with fellow Christians who fall away from their faith?

06:31 - What scriptures do you look to when walking the line between showing love to people living in sinful patterns of behavior vs. trying not to affirm said behavior as a representative of Christ?

08:18 - Is Jesus ok with all this killing in the OT?

09:54 - When looking for resources to better understand scripture and cultural context around it, how do we ensure that the sources are trustworthy and reliable? (especially in the internet age where anyone can make a legit looking website)'

12:09 - How is the theory of evolution and its long timeline reconciled with the Creation of the world and humankind? Archaeology has evidence of “early man” but humans weren’t “primitive” in the Bible. Please explain.

21:23 - Are we chosen or do we choose salvation?

21:59 - How do you balance sharing the love of God and correcting people’s many flaws? (non-biblical choices)
