Q&A #211: Pastors Kyle, and Blake discuss the following: 1. Mark 11:22-26 are these verses were a lot of people get wrapped up in the idea that God will make them rich, heal everyone, etc? It seems pretty straight forward, in english at least, that if you pray and believe you get what you ask for. It doesn't seem to have the caveat of "In God's will" though as that's likely implied in all scriptur...

Q&A #211: Pastors Doug, Kyle, and Blake discuss the following: 1. It strikes me that God created the world primarily without women. It was Adam's request that God did so. Is this kind of like when the Israelites wanted a king? Did Adam throw in a monkey wrench? I am female but just asking 2. Why is Jesus the "second Adam" and not the second Eve? This is really two questions: Was Eve not the first...

Q&A #207: Pastors Doug, and Kyle discuss the following: 1. Doug and Kyle mentioned that the Bible talks about fornication and therefore “condemns” premarital sex. The Greek word used there is Porneia, and it’s an umbrella term for sexual acts that seem to demean the image of God in another person. It’s an umbrella term for acts like adultery, prostitution and sexual idolatry. It doesn’t seem to re...

Q&A #205: Pastors Doug, Blake, and Kyle discuss the following: 1.Hello, I’d like to know your opinions on premarital sex. Do you believe that individuals Should abstain even into the middle ages should they not find the suitable partner? Follow up if yes What if you have previously been married?

Q&A #203: Pastors Doug, Blake, and Kyle discuss the following: 1. In Genesis 1:18 the lord says that man shouldn't be alone, and that he would make a helper for him. And then, he proceeds to bring all the animals to the man, but the man didn't find a suitable "helper" (read: "mate"?). My question is, did Adam lie with some of those animals while he was trying to find a mate? Could that be why prim...

Q&A #201: Pastors Doug, Blake, and Kyle discuss the following: 1.How come Psalm 14 and 53 are so close to the same? Why repeat it? 2.If we are to lean into grace, and anticipate God's grace already at work in our lives, are we failing to do this when we reach out to professional help (i.e. counsellors, etc), or asking for people to pray with and for us in our time of need? 3. Could Judas be in hea...

Q&A #199: 1. Can you comment, in light of being authentic and holy, Paul's comments about being all things for all people, ie. kind of clothed in their clothing so that they can relate. Example of secular workplace. What we think of solution may not be accepted--"let's take some time to pray". We are sometimes legitimately stifled from our authentic holy reaction. 2. To Doug's point. I don't rejec...

Q&A #198 1. I have been around a lot of people who seem to talk about the supernatural experiences and gifts a lot (prophecy, seeing angels etc), in light of a couple of the messages the last few weeks talking about the shortcomings of these things, how do we bring balance to conversations to help people we care about who seem lost in things that can be good, but aren’t the main thing. 2. Where is...

Q&A #197 Fearing God, eternal life, monotheism and Exodus 12:29 are discussed in this episode. 1. I grew up in a conservative home that some times erred on the side of legalism. I feel like my idea of what it meant to fear God wasn’t healthy. I’m finding ways to walk in Truth of what it doesn’t mean to fear to God but I am still stuck on what it does mean to live in the freedom and victory He has...

Q&A #196 Love and suffering, dangerous ideas, loving wife as Christ loved the church, healthy fear of God and a new heaven and new earth are all discussed in this episode. 1. If God is love, why does it seem like he plays favourites throughout the Bible? When he rescued the Israelites from Egypt one of the punishments was the killing of the first born. I know that the pharaoh was disobeying God, b...
