Bible Question (short): Just wondering |
Question (full): I have several questions. Please answer each with Bible texts and mention what mistakes you would try to avoid for each issue. 1. Several members at church have been asking questions about how and when Jesus became divine. Some point to the baptism of when the Spirit descends on Jesus as a dove. Others think there may be a problem with that view. How would you preach it? 2. A number of recent responses have mentioned that thye are "unsure of their salvation." You want people to understand the seriousness of sin while at the same time teaching the truth about justificiation and redemption. How can you do both? 3. During a class study, the subject of the Trinity comes up. A number in the class complain that thye don't se the big deal about different views of the Trinity. What could you do to address the importance of a proper understanding of the Trinity without getting bogged down in the high-minded difficulties involved? 4. A growing group from your congregation is missing the assembly more often. When asked about it, they casually say that church is not about where you are physically; it's about where you are in your heart. How could you address their ideas in a way that would encourage a deper understanding of the church? 5. An especially curious member of your Sunday morning class asks whether Judas did anything wrong since it was a part of God's plan anyway that Jesus be betrayed and crucified. You promise to address that issue in a sermon to avoid having to talk about it in class. What would you preach to defebd God's sovereignty over humans, but also allow for our own freedom? Thanks so much for answering these scenarios. |
