Questions, Questions, Questions - Evening Sermon
Teachers
Lesson Summary
The class began with several practical announcements, including the upcoming Friends Day invitation and a special outdoor worship service featuring a fire pit and s'mores. After the logistical details, the teacher introduced the church’s new 12‑question evangelism effort, explaining its origins in Southern congregations and its potential to reach the Western community and the wider world through online platforms. The importance of prayer in supporting this project was emphasized, urging members to intercede for its success. The central teaching focused on the significance of questions in Scripture and in personal faith. The teacher revealed that scholars have identified about 3,100‑3,300 questions within the Bible, noting the challenges of counting them due to original language punctuation. Using Genesis 3:1 as a prime example, the lesson examined how the first recorded question between Eve and the serpent demonstrates how a single word can alter divine meaning. The class concluded that asking God the right questions leads to answers that deepen understanding and growth, encouraging participants to engage thoughtfully with both Scripture and the world around them.
