We value asking questions to better understand how to live life in a God-centered, Christ-exalting way. We believe that church should be the best place in which people can get solid answers to life’s questions from God’s Word.

1. (01:15) Many people talk about Adam being in glory, but does the Bible indicate he was in a state of grace? While he was covered with the skins of a sacrifice, the New testament frequently compares Jesus as the second/different Adam. Because of the frequent references to sin and fallenness, is it possible that Adam did not place faith in the Lord's redemption?

2. (11:35) We are to worship God in Spirit and in Truth, so would you say that some Trinitarian viewpoints (such as modalism that openly denies God exists in three persons) presents God as someone other than who He truly is and is therefore a form of idolatry?And if that constitutes idolatry, would you say that the Arminian system of belief is also a form of idolatry?

3. (25:50) How do I remain faithful to Christ without withdrawing from the world or conforming to it? Tension between engagement and separation is persistent. Looking for the right line.
