Does God Need Our Prayers? Jan 11, 2024

Show notes

Full Question: I was recently in a conversation with a group of guys about answered prayers. One guy shared how years ago a group of them traveled to a foreign country on a mission trip and when they got there, they discovered that there was a need to build a house for orphan children. He said that night they all prayed about it and the next morning they got news that someone had offered to match up $50K in donation. He said that was confirmation of answered prayer. Was God waiting for that group of people to pray before He put in on the heart of another guy to donate a match? If no one prayed would the orphans still need a home? If God knew before the foundations of the earth who would be saved how does prayer affect those who we pray for to be saved?

How Should Pastors Approach The Gospels? Dec 21, 2023

Show notes

Full Question: I’m currently a student at Truett Seminary, and am taking a Scriptures class over the Gospels. That has prompted this question: When preaching and teaching from the Gospels, particularly the synoptics, how do we approach passages that have differing or additional material in the other accounts? Should we harmonize, preach/ teach each account, preach it purely expository, or something else?

Why Does God Punish The ‘Children’s Children’? Dec 07, 2023

Show notes

Full Question: We’ve been following a chronological bible study plan together since the new year, and we’re really struggling to get through portions of the Old Testament, namely places where God’s wrath is in the foreground. After reading about the Rebellion of Korah, we were hit with a very troubling question about God’s ‘rightness’ to not only punish those who rebelled, but their children as well... We know that God is sovereign and His ways are higher than ours, and that’s so far been the only real answer to our struggles. Do you have further biblical understanding of why God would kill or order the death of children, infants, or otherwise ‘innocent’ people on account of the sins of their parents?
