Unity Presbyterian - Denver, NC

Welcome to the last week of our summer of questions! This last question may be the hardest of all – “Why did God take away my sister at such a young age?” Haven’t we all wondered something along those lines – why do children have to die; why do bad things happen to good people? Pastor David turns to the Book of Job for insight to this question.

You probably know that God created the world in 7 days... or was it the Big Bang? How do we reconcile these two theories? Do we have to choose science or faith, or is there a way that they can work together?

This week, our question is "How can I inspire people to come to church?" You know attending a sporting event is different from watching it on TV. The same is true with worship! Online viewing is great when you can't be here, but isn't a long-term substitute. What inspires you to meet together? How do you share that with others?

Are the things you own keeping you from your best life? Are your possessions getting in the way of your relationships, even your relationship with God? The Rev. Dr. Byron Wade digs into these questions and looks at how we can have stuff, but not let it have us.

All through the Bible, God tells his people not to fear. But that’s so much easier said than done! How can we feel less worried about things, especially since it seems the world around us is living in fear? This is the question that Pastor David answers this week!

God speaks to many people in the Bible but why can't I hear Him? How do I know I'm doing what God wants and not what I want? Y'all keep challenging us with questions each week! Let's dig into this one and see if we can "tune our hearts" into God.

The Old Testament has 613 different laws the Israelites were to follow. Some of these make sense to us today, and some don't. How do we know which ones we are still supposed to live by? Pastor David breaks them down for us using Jesus' words from Matthew 5. 

"Why is Israel God's Chosen People?" That's the question you asked this week, and Pastor David digs into what "chosen" means, and how the people of Israel are representative of us all.

Pastor David continues our series of questions asked by the congregation by looking at church attendance? Is church necessary? Can you be a good Christian without attending church?

Is there a hell? What about reincarnation? Would a generous God not give us second chances? We dig into these questions - that you asked - in worship this week!
