HOW CAN I KNOW THAT I AM GOING TO HEAVEN? // WEDNESDAY NIGHT UNSCRIPTED

// September 16, 2020

// When asked the point-blank question "If you died today, would you go to heaven?" many Christians feel a sense of doubt and unease. We know we haven't lived up to God's expectations, continue to fail Him, and aren't sure if our "good-things" outnumber the "bad-things". Is there a way that we can know?

// In this episode of Unscripted, Marshall and Brandon dive into this popular question as they assess these feelings in their own lives, look to scripture for assurances, and realize it IS POSSIBLE to know and be certain on our fate in the afterlife. We hope this brings life and encouragement!

In one of Jesus' last conversations with His disciples he said the alarming statement: "In this world you WILL have trouble." (John 16) In this life it looks like pain is certain, so how can we balance an ultimately good God with the messed up world around us? And how can wrestling with this question and Biblical Lament bring peace and hope into our lives in a way it hasn't been before?

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY CHRISTIAN CHURCHES (PT. 2) // Wednesday Night Unscripted

// October 7, 2020

// In Pt. 2 of our "Why are there so many different Christian Churches?" question, Marshall and Brandon talk about the things that divide Christian churches. They cover things like the "Non-negotiable and Negotiables" for Christian beliefs, what the main goal should be within the church, and how to love God and love others in the middle of our "division"

WHY DOESN'T GOD ANSWER MY PRAYERS? // WEDNESDAY NIGHT UNSCRIPTED

//September 2, 2020

// Last week Marshall and Brandon walked us through the theological looks of prayer: If God knows everything already, and humans have free will, what is the point of praying? Do our prayers make a difference? DO our prayers do ANYTHING? THIS WEEK, we're looking at the practical side of things: I know that God hears my prayers and listens to me... but how come he doesn't answer MY prayers? I see Him at work in other people's lives, but it seems like my prayers are never answered...

// This week Marshall and Brandon dive into how God answers prayers and how we can reignite our prayer life. We hope this discussion is a blessing!

At some point most, if not all, of us have had to deal with some questions about our faith. Sometimes it's a question that we ourselves are wrestling with; sometimes it's a question that someone asks us and we struggle with knowing exactly how to answer. For the next several weeks at Flagstone, we are going to attempt to answer some of the questions both Christians and non-Christians have about God, the Bible, church, and more.

DO OUR PRAYERS ACTUALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE? // WEDNESDAY NIGHT UNSCRIPTED

// August 26, 2020

// Prayer is at the CORE of our relationship with God. I's how we can communicate our thanks, our grief, sorrow, wants and needs, pleas and praise. But if God is truly sovereign; truly all-knowing... is there a place for prayer and man's free will?

// In this episode of Unscripted, Marshall and Brandon take a theological look at prayer. Where does prayer fit in with an all-knowing God? Do our prayers actually make a difference if God already knows the outcome? And  what if I personally haven't seen the affects of prayer in my own life?
