Mark Christian (Senior Minister), Elijah Dally (Teaching Pastor), and Michael DeFazio (Elder) respond to questions sent in from our church over the past few weeks. Questions discussed (listed below word for word in the nature they were submitted):• "Why was Jesus’ death and resurrection required to redeem the world of sin?"• "Can gay people be Christians, and if so, will they go to heaven?"• "What about when you are trying to follow the plans God has written for you, but don’t feel close to God anymore?"• "One statement I hear often from non-believers is 'I can’t believe in a God who lets evil things happen to innocent people.' What are your thoughts on how to discuss this concern?"• "Could Jesus’ death be big enough to conquer hell in its entirety?"• "Why trust the Bible? Lots of people seem to struggle with what authority it deserves."
