7:30 - Will there be a literal rapture of the church followed by a 7 year tribulation period and then the second coming of Christ?
16:06 - In light of Prov 22:6, what encouragement would you have for parents who have raised children in a Christian home but those grown children are now rejecting the faith?

12:07 - Is capital punishment biblical?
30:13 - Two fairly consistent messages I hear: 1) God loves you and there is nothing you can do to earn His love, therefore stop trying to earn it; 2) Faithfulness and obedience to God’s law are for your benefit and pleases Him, therefore we are responsible for our growth. Help flesh out how these work together.
