This past Sunday, First Assembly of God Lafayette arranged for a morning of questions from the congregation. Instead of getting up and delivering a conventional message, I stood on the platform and addressed questions that were submitted through video, email, text and written on note cards. All in all, I thought it was a great morning where we dealt with a couple dozen questions and where people were given a fresh vision of faith, doubt, and the church.
Below are a list of questions submitted through text. Some questions I had to delete here, as they were not “family friendly”, but I thought you might enjoy seeing what our university town church is asking at this very moment.
I’ll do my best to tackle a question or two per week between now and the next Q Sunday this coming fall. You can see what happened by seeing the video at http://www.firstag.org/55961.ihtml.
Here are the questions:
Do people in hell have a chance to get out?
Did Jews before Jesus was born go to heaven?
