What is Your Why?
Well, we’ve taken all the questions that came in to our Why? site (www.whatisyourwhy.org) and condensed them down into our final 14-week list. At Corinth, we’ll be preaching through these 14 questions starting in June. Here you go:
Why am I Here?
Does Christianity provide an answer for the question that everyone asks? Is there really an answer to this question anyway, or do we just make it up as we go along?
Why Should We Take the Bible Seriously?
How can a book written 2,000 years ago really be true today? In a world of science and technology, in an increasingly globalized world, how can a book written by desert nomads really claim to be God’s Word?
Why is Jesus the Only Way?
Isn’t it arrogant for Christians to say that Jesus is the only way? Doesn’t this kind of statement cause war, division and strife? Shouldn’t religious communities focus on building unity and diversity in our world?
Why are So Many Christians Hypocrites?
If Christianity is true, then why are there so many bad Christians? Why do those who claim to love Jesus have messed up families and personal lives?
Why are There So Many Denominations
If Christianity is true, then why can’t Christians agree? Doesn’t the existence of hundreds of different denominations mean that there are no core convictions in “Christianity”? Doesn’t it mean that the Christian claim to be “uniting” is really just hogwash?
Why Are You a Christian Rather Than a Hindu, Muslim or Buddhist?
If you were born in Saudi Arabia, wouldn’t you be a Muslim? If you were born in India, you’d be a Hindu or Buddhist, right? Isn’t Christianity a culturally determined view of life and God?
Why is the God of the OT So Harsh When Jesus Seems So Loving?
When I read the Bible, it seems to be talking about two very different Gods. One talks about a God who commands the Jews to commit genocide. The other talks about a God who forgives prostitutes and welcomes sinners into his presence. So, what’s up with that?
Why is it Important to Believe in the Trinity?
Isn’t the doctrine of the Trinity an invention of the church hundreds of years after Jesus lived? Didn’t people vote on the doctrine, and wasn’t it highly disputed? So why believe in the Trinity?
Why Does God Make Such a Big Deal About Sex?
Since God made us as sexual creatures, shouldn’t we get past all the shame and judgmentalism of the past? Can’t we just celebrate the joy of our sexuality and accept that different people find joy in different types of relationships?
Potpourri Sunday #1
Rapid fire Q&A with Don and Adam picking questions from a bowl.
Why Would a God of Love Create a Place Like Hell?
God tells us to love and forgive. He tells us that we should turn the other cheek and live peacefully. But he also created an eternal torture chamber called Hell. What’s up with that?
Why Have Some People Used the Bible to Justify Racism?
In the past, Christians have owned slaves and upheld racist practices. They’ve used the Bible to justify this. Does that mean the Bible condones racism?
Why is it so Hard to Figure out God’s Will for My Life?
Some people use a Magic 8-ball. Others use tarot cards. I know the Bible gives guidance on the “big issues,” but how am I supposed to figure out what I’m supposed to do with my life?
Potpourri Sunday #2
Rapid fire Q&A with Adam.
