Does the New Testament teach that we should literally meet and worship on the first day of the week, or does it point to a renewed idea of sabbath rest under Christ? Is there a pattern for weekly practices on what we now call Sunday? We were asked to specifically address this question in the context of a passage in Acts and 1st Corinthians, but it relates to one of our larger discussions about the concept of "the Lord's Day."

If we are the made in the likeness of God, does that mean we are gods too? Does it mean that we can know what God physically looks like by looking in the mirror? There is a lot of speculation about what this "made in God's image" means, but what does the scripture tell us on this subject?

Do I have to give to the church or can I take care of it on my own? Dan helps us answer that question by looking at the pattern set forth throughout the Bible.

It is not uncommon for men to take off their hats inside a building or when praying at an event outside. In some churches, women are more likely to wear hats to worship than others. Is there a theological reason for these practices? Understanding ancient languages and ancient cultures are often important to understanding the context of a passage, and today’s discussion definitely benefited from that understanding.

Why can’t the Devil leave me alone? Can’t God stop him from tempting me? Why do I have to suffer through so many things?

These are very common questions and sometimes difficult answers, but let’s explore the scripture to see what we can find.

When Moses approaches the burning bush, he knew there is something he needed to stop and check out. As he later writes the story down as part of Israel’s history he used several names to convey who he was speaking to in the bush. So, who exactly was he speaking with? Was it God, an angel, or maybe someone else? Dan takes us into the original language and across the Old and New Testament to get a better understanding of this event and who was part of it.

If you have prayed once or many times, you have probably wondered at some point if an all-powerful God really wanted to hear from you – especially if you keep asking for or saying the same things. The Bible has some very clear passages for us to explore on this topic.

If you have taken the Lord’s Supper just about anywhere, you have probably heard the phrase “take this in a worthy manner.” What exactly did that phrase mean in its original context and how should it affect our attitude about taking the Lord’s Supper today? Is there ever a time a baptized believer shouldn’t take the Lord’s Supper? We discuss this subject a lot; so, if you have further comments or questions, send them our way!
