I asked you to submit questions for a sermon series, and you did. Thank you! I asked you to select the top seven from all the questions that were entered, and you did. Thank you! Here they are, seven questions that I will address in upcoming sermons:
How can the church serve as a peacemaker in dealing with the divisive issues (other Christian traditions, other faiths, political extremes, social values) of our time?
This one I will address on December 4.
How do we make the circumstances of our everyday life lead us to holiness?
This one I will address on November 13.
When we look back in history, we can see that dictators like Hitler were bad and we wonder why Christians didn’t stand up sooner to save the people. What about nowadays? When do we know to act, what to do? Where is our collective power?
This one I will address on November 20.
What should be the role of the church versus the moral and ethical corruptions of modern society? Handmaiden? Critic? Gadfly? Partisan supporter? Evaluator? Other?
This one I will address on November 6.
Can you be a Christian if you don’t care about “going to heaven”?
This one I will pick up in January.
Why doesn’t God have a mommy? Everyone should have a mommy.
This one I will pick up on December 18.
Whatever happened to the concept of sin? Aren’t many of our serious social problems related to The Seven Deadly Sins (wrath, greed, sloth, lust, envy, gluttony, pride) and the lack of support for The Seven Cardinal Virtues (fortitude, justice, prudence, temperance, faith, hope, charity)?
This one I will pick up in January.
It has been so much fun working with you on this project. Thank you for your input! I so look forward to preaching those sermons...
