Many misquote Matthew 7:1-5 as a way to skirt responsibility. However, when Jesus asks the question “Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log in your own eye?” He is addressing the tendency to stand over others in condemnation instead of loving restoration. Speaker: Dave Obwald

The Bible tells us that we will walk through trials and that our faith will be tested. But storms always come with a purpose, and the Lord is always with us in the storm.  Speaker: Joe Buitrago

We each have our own burdens. When Jesus asks the question "Who touched my clothes?" we see that he responds to pain and suffering with compassion. Speaker: Mike Cirricione

When Jesus asks "Who do you say I am?" He's asking a personal question that requires a personal answer. While the answer to this question has implications on our eternity, who we say Jesus is should affect our present day. Speaker: Joe Buitrago

When Jesus asks the question "Why are you weeping?" He doesn't rebuke our tears. Jesus is there with us in our grief. Speaker: Josh Hawley

The only one actually qualified to condemn someone is the sinless Jesus, yet He offers transformation instead. Grace is radical and transformative and should inform the way we view ourselves and others.  Speaker: Jordan Hogue

The Bible does not promise the complete elimination of worry, but it does invite us to bring our worries and anxieties to God. When Jesus asks the question "Why do you worry?" He shows us how to deal with worry in lifegiving ways.  Speaker: Josh Hawley

Jesus asks Peter "Do you love me?" three times, redeeming the three times that Peter denied Jesus. Jesus asks a simple and searching question to restore relationship and purpose.   Speaker: Chris Schultz

Why are questions important in the Jewish context? This summer we are examing why Jesus asked what he asked, and what it revealed about the people and situations around him. We start by looking at the questions from Jesus' childhood: "Why is it that you were looking for me?" and "Did you not know that I had to be in My Father’s house?" Speaker: Brad Bell

Why did Jesus institute the practices of communion and baptism? The ordinances of the church are expressions of identity and testimony in remembrance of the unifying work of Jesus.  Speaker: Mike Cirricione
