You Asked For It (2018)

You asked, and we're answering. In this round of You Asked For It we take on real questions from our church—like whether the church is anti-woman and what it takes to have genuinely healthy relationships—and hold them up to what Scripture actually says. Honest questions deserve honest answers.

Is God Good… Really?

GOD IS GOOD

Your revelation of God’s goodness is going to play big in God’s ability to reveal His goodness in your life.

Romans 8:38-39 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

How Do I Tell Others About Jesus

Mark 16:15 “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.

God Loves The Lost

We Are God’s Plan A

2 Corinthians 5:20 So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making His appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!”

The only Jesus many people are going to see is the Jesus in us.

1 Peter 3:15 Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.

  1. Connect With People

People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.

Luke 19:10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.

Luke 19:1-10 Then Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.

How Can I Have Healthy Relationships?

Matthew 37-40 (MSG) Jesus said, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence.’ This is the most important, the first on any list. But there is a second to set alongside it: ‘Love others as well as you love yourself.’ These two commands are pegs; everything in God’s Law and the Prophets hangs from them.”

Health is defined as a condition in which someone or something is thriving or doing well.

Healthy relationships begin and end with you.

Colossians 3:12 (ESV) Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience

We cant just sing about being chosen we must LIVE like we are chosen.

Is The Church Anti-Woman?

Genesis 3:14-15 (NIV) 14 So the Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, “Cursed are you above all livestock and all wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life. 15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”

enmity = hostility, anger, resentment, violence.

The Devil Hates Women

Genesis 3:16 Then he said to the woman, “I will sharpen the pain of your pregnancy, and in pain you will give birth.
