Ten Questions Christians are Asking by David Jeremiah Led by Nancy Larkin Cost: $10 Looking for answers to some of the most difficult challenges for the Christian today? Finding that your pursuit has left you with more questions than answers? From the casual to the crucial, Jesus used the grappling hook of questions to snag His hearers’ interest, grasp their thoughts, reveal their motives, explore their needs, and clench their decisions. Questions are the inquiries of curious minds and the entreaties of wondering souls. Where there are question marks in our minds and spirits, we need the truths and promises of Scripture. God has the answers to the questions people are asking! Through his thoughtful examination of the Word of God on these ten topics, Dr. Jeremiah provides answers that will turn your questions marks into exclamation points of praise. The questions we will be answering are: 1. How can I be sure of my salvation? 2. How can I overcome temptation? 3. How can I get victory over worry? 3. How can I find forgiveness? 5. Is there only one way to God? 6. Why do Christians have so many problems? 7. Why don’t my prayers get answered? 8. Is there a sin God cannot forgive? 9. What is faith? 10. What is the greatest commandment? |

Sermon on the Mount In His sweeping depiction of kingdom citizenship, Jesus utters some of the most familiar passages in all of Scripture. Most of us have only encountered the Sermon on the Mount in fragments, considering its subdivisions as complete teachings in their own right—a study on blessedness; a reflection on the Lord’s Prayer; a discussion of religious devotion, money, ambition, and relationships. What if we navigated these three chapters in Matthew as they were originally heard? What if we read them as one cohesive, well-ordered message, intended to challenge us to think differently about what it means to be a follower of Jesus? This 9-session study will give you the opportunity to do just that. Come and learn from Jesus, just as His disciples did. |
