- Topic One: Social Justice

-Question: Can we, the Church, lead the way and pursue justice on behalf of the oppressed, the widow, the orphan, and the enslaved? If we know the One who is completely just, should we not lead the charge?

- Topic Two: A Virus in Society

-Question: What are the steps AMERICA needs to take to control this pandemic?

- Topic One: Christian Mission

- Topic Two: Summary of Salvation

- Question: You’re sitting on a plane, you’ve got a 2-hour flight and the person next to you says, what is salvation? What do you tell them? What are we being saved from?

- Topic One: 2 Corinthians 12:9

But he said to me, “My grace is

sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”

Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that

the power of Christ may rest upon me.

-Question: If God operates in Grace, then why are we so focused on

our “sin nature”? Am I a “filthy rag” like the old preachers say?-

Main Topic Two: Who sinned first?

When Christians or others speak of Adam as the first sinner, this

comes from the Apostle Paul where he states, “Therefore, just as

through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin,

and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned.” (Romans 5:12)

-Question: When we look back at Genesis, it is true that Satan

rebelled, and also Eve sinned, prior to Adam’s disobedience.

- Main Topic: Thought problem or heart problem?

- Question: Is sin a problem of deeds, actions, or a problem of the heart that is manifested in the actions?

- Main Topic: Un-hit question from Ep. 2 “Strength in Community”

- Topic One: Jesus

-Question 1: Jesus was fully divine, but did He use His divinity to maintain the connection, or did He maintain His connection with the Father as a human being would, by faith and trust in the Father?

-Question 2: What has Jesus been doing since he ascended back into heaven?

- Topic Two: "God" vs. "Jesus"

-Question 1: Read Exodus 20:3-7; Deuteronomy 4:35,39; Isaiah 43:10; Isaiah 45:22. Does Only One God Exist? The New Testament repeatedly states that “there is only one God”. Why does God in the Old Testament seem different in the New Testament? Is it wrong to refer to Jesus as God?

-Question 2: Read John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made.

What do we learn about Jesus from this passage? Was there a time Jesus didn’t exist? Was there anything made that didn’t come through Jesus? What type of being is described in this passage? (A creator, a God) Who then, is Jesus?
