• Sue - My sister joined the Messianic Jews and is telling me that Constantine set the date for Christmas. Is that true? (01:06)

• Annette – What does it mean when the priest pointed his index finger and middle finger at my eyes before giving me the Eucharist.
• Anna - I accepted a job but it wasn't right for me so I quit, and now am feeling down. Are there any bible verses that can help me through this time? (21:11)
• Charlynne - During the intersessions, what is the difference between “those who have fallen asleep in the hope of the resurrection” and others who are mentioned who are dead? (28:33)
• Mary - Can you clarify why deacons can bless holy items like priests can? (32:15)
• Nancy - Many Protestants don't believe in Purgatory. Where in the protestant bible does it talk about getting purified? (38:33)
