Q&A - Week Two

Join Pastor Korey and Jeremy for Week Two of our Q&A series as they dive into questions from the church and explore real-life topics through a biblical lens. This conversation is honest, practical, and centered on God’s Word, helping you think deeper and grow in your faith. Questions gone over: Do miracles, signs, and wonders still happen today or were they for a specific time in history? Is hell a real, literal place and if so, is it eternal? And how does God judge people who have never heard the gospel, whether in the past or today? I’ve heard if you don’t tithe, God will take it out in medical bills. Is this true? How can I be a cheerful giver if there’s the threat of this? Why do people raise hands in a corporate worship setting? If I feel uncomfortable raising my hands or if I just don’t ever want to, can I still be worshipping the Lord from my heart? Why does God allow and even command so much violence in the Old Testament? In Matthew 7:17-18, how does that work? Specifically can a “bad tree” (someone spiritually dead) perform subjectively good deeds like helping the homeless even if they can not produce objectively good fruit in a spiritual sense? In the same way a “good tree”(someone spiritually alive) can still produce subjectively bad fruit, such as sin? From a biblical perspective can women be in church leadership? Can they be pastors? When is killing not considered sin? The Bible says “You shall not murder,” but God commands killing in some cases, and the government is said to bear the sword. So are soldiers sinning when they kill? And how does that fit with Jesus’ command to love your enemies?
