“What’s On Your Mind?”

A sermon series addressing the questions we’re thinking about

Goshen Baptist Church - Winter 2024

 

In January and February 2024, my goal is to go to God’s Word and develop messages for our church based on questions you’re asking.

Is there a Bible passage you struggle with, or a theme in Scripture that perplexes you?  Are there aspects of Christian belief that are hard to understand?  And are there facets of the Christian life that you find confusing?  And are there issues related to following Jesus in a tumultuous world where you’re looking for help?

If so, please feel free to submit them by December 10 (and let me add:  every question is a good question!).  Then I’ll go through your input and begin organizing a series of messages to speak to the issues that are on our minds.

Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts with me!

Pastor Peter

[UPDATE DEC. 11, 2023:  Thanks to all who have submitted responses.]
