GraceTalk is a time for our Leadership Team to take a given Sunday to address questions or issues asked from the church body. The questions can be about God, every day life or even church business. Whatever the question, it's a great time to learn more about God, the church and each other.

Sunday, August 22nd, 2010 : By Leadership Team
The Leadership Team answers your questions.
Q1 (1:14). What is the role of psychology in the church today?
Q2 (6:47). What is the “third heaven” mentioned in 2 Cor. 12:2. I have a friend who is a Mormon and he said that this is the highest point in heaven and hopes to one day attain to it. I never heard this before so I wanted to find a good way to engage in my response.
Q3 (18:39). The other day my 3 1/2 year old daughter asked me if demons could hurt her. Being completely unprepared for the question, I responded “Well, if you’re best friends with Jesus (something we’ve talked about many times), …

graceTALK, July 2010
Sunday, July 4th, 2010 : By Leadership Team
The Leadership Team answers your questions.
Q1 (1:22). When I discuss issues with my friends and cite the Bible as a reference my friends often say to me, “Well, that’s your interpretation.” How do I respond to that without feeling like I am just giving another opinion? It just seems like all the force gets taken out of the point I am trying to make.
Q2 (9:54). When the Bible says we will be held accountable for our actions does that also include sins that we’ve already been forgiven for?
Q3 (17:59). When the Bible says that we will be “in the world” but we are not supposed to be “of this world” how …

graceTALK, April 2010
Sunday, April 11th, 2010 : By Leadership Team
The Leadership Team answers your questions.
Q1 (2:50). How do I tell my child to respond to physical bullying? Conventional wisdom and experience leads me to say ‘Do everything you can to avoid a fight, but there does come a time when you have to stand up for yourself and hit back to show the bully that you won’t be a doormat for them.’ This, however, seems to conflict the Scripture’s instruction to love our enemies and turn the other cheek.
Q1 follow-up 1 (16:07). Doesn’t Jesus’ response when struck imply that there could be a good reason to hit someone?
Q1 follow-up …

graceTALK, January 2010
Sunday, January 3rd, 2010 : By Leadership Team
The Leadership Team answers your questions.
Q1 Part1 (2:15). If Christ is the only ONLY way to the Father- What happened to all of the people in the Old Testament? What if a person says, “They somehow had or will have provision made to accept or reject Christ after they lived on Earth.” Please reference where the Bible says that. Also, if provision is made after life on this Earth, what do you say to non-believers that say, “If God wants me to accept Christ – He’ll lead me to do so after I Die?”
Q1 Part2 (11:00). If our faith in Christ is how we are continuously forgiven for our sins and reconciled …

graceTALK, October 2009
Sunday, October 25th, 2009 : By Leadership Team
The Leadership Team answers your questions.
Q1 (26:16). I confess my sins and ask God to forgive me since that is what I have been taught from the Bible. Are you saying that the Bible says confessing your sins and asking for forgiveness is wrong? I just can’t see how asking for forgiveness when I sin against God can be wrong. My relationship seems so much more vibrant when I regularly confess and ask for forgiveness.
Q2 (15:02). Can’t I John 1:9 apply to believers and non-believers? In this case it would be a way a believer would act, but would also be a requirement for a non-believer.
Q3 (18:42). It seems like we …
