Why Ask "Why?"

Contributed by Christopher Roberts on Sep 15, 2003

Jesus created a questioning community. We must ask questions in order to get better answers. If we settle for "pat" answers everyone loses.

You don’t need to take a theology class at seminary to be a theologian. We all have beliefs about God. Even atheists ...read more

Joseph, Asking To Be Hated Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Nov 4, 2019

If we concern ourselves with only ourselves, and we have no or little concern for how our words or actions impact others, we might get what we deserve.

Joseph, Asking to Be Hated (Genesis 37:1-36) 1. When it comes to appreciating how good we have it, sometimes we do not realize it until we lose it. One college student wrote home: 2.

1. We’re in Matthew 7:7-11 today.

1. We’re in Matthew 7:7-11 today. It’s a pretty familiar passage where Jesus invites us, really more challenges us, to ask, seek and knock – to get persistent in our pursuit of God, to be diligent in asking for divine intervention. And if we to do that, He gives us some promises ...read more

The Question Everyone Is Asking Series

Contributed by Gregory Fisher on Mar 25, 2020

After Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead there was quite a stir in Jerusalem. The Chief Priests and Pharisees called a meeting of the ruling council and asked, "What do we do now?" How about today? How do we answer the covid-19 crisis?

The Question Everyone Is Asking Text: John 11:45-57 Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what he did, believed in him, 46 but some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. 47 So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the council ...read more

Frequently Asked Question

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Oct 18, 2000

The answer to Job’s anguished question of "Why?" does not come in words but in presence.

I met Janet at a party, several years ago, the kind of combination business/social gathering where people talk shop, and network, and make superficial small talk. It’s the sort of event I usually avoid if at all possible, but of course it wasn’t always possible. Anyway, for some reason Janet ...read more

Better Ask The Boss Series

Contributed by Steven Simala Grant on Jul 16, 2002

The Gibeonites deceive the Israelites into a treaty because the Israelites fail to ask the Lord. We learn to involve God in our decisions, act with integrity when we make a poor decision, and trust God to redeem even those bad decisions.

Better Ask the Boss Joshua 9 Intro: Have you ever been deceived? Have you ever gotten burned by somebody who seemed sincere, whom you trusted, and who turned out to have been lying to you all along and took advantage of you? Sadly most of us can relate all too easily. We have placed our trust ...read more

Women Ask For Directions

HoHum: A boy asked his grandmother, "Why did Moses wander in the desert for 40 years?" The grandmother answered, "Because even back then, men don’t stop and ask for directions!" WBTU: Jim Croegaert wrote a song popularized by Sandi Patty called Was It a Morning Like This: ...read more

Moody’s church was destroyed, he decided to take a trip to England as a sort of educational sabbatical while the new sanctuary was being built.

Asking The Right Way Series

Contributed by Paul Clemente on Jun 28, 2016

what can we say about Caleb?

As we study the closing chapters in the Book of Joshua, we will note how the Promised Land was divided to the Tribes of Israel and the end of Joshua’s life. But before reading Joshua 14 , look back briefly with me to Numbers 13… v1-2…. v25-33…. Numbers 14:1-10…. v30-35………. And so, ...read more

Asking God For The Mountain

Contributed by Rodney Kelley on Sep 12, 2010

Just like Caleb trusted God, by faith, for victory in his mountain, we too can trust God to help us overcome the battles we face in life.

Intro. We all face things in our lives that seem insurmountable. Sometimes we face a mountain with Giants! As we face this text, it would do us well to remember that Canaan is the land of Victory, not salvation. The children of Israel belonged to God, even in the wilderness! God was not ...read more

Ask, Seek, Knock

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jul 29, 2014

Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened. Does this mean Jesus is our genie in a bottle? Can I ask for anything I want and Jesus will just give it to me? There's much to understand about what Jesus said here.

ASK, SEEK, KNOCK Matt. 7:7-12 1) Ask, Seek, Knock (7-8). Here we see three different words three different meanings. I think this illustrates a process; like a chain of events if you will. As the Fourfold gospel commentary puts it, “Asking is a simple use of voice, seeking is a motion of the ...read more
