Ask Me Anything
Sermon Notes
Questions matter. Curiosity matters. And doubts don’t disqualify anyone from the conversation.

When Curiosity Isn’t the Enemy
Every meaningful journey of faith starts with a question. Sometimes it’s curiosity. Sometimes it’s doubt. Sometimes it’s disappointment that’s been sitting quietly for years. Ask Me Anything exists because questions are not threats to faith. They are often the doorway into it.
This space isn’t built for quick fixes or clever comebacks. It’s built for listening. For slowing down long enough to take people seriously. And for trusting that truth does not need to be protected from honest inquiry. If something is true, it can handle being examined.
Why We Create Space for Questions
Many people grew up believing that asking hard questions meant weak faith. But Scripture tells a different story. The Bible is filled with people who questioned God, wrestled with doubt, and spoke honestly about their fears and confusion. God never turned them away. He met them.
Ask Me Anything is shaped by that conviction. We don’t rush people toward answers. We walk with them toward understanding. Faith grows best in environments where honesty is welcomed and humility is practiced.
Faith and Science at the Same Table
One of the first questions that often comes up sounds like this: hasn’t science already explained everything? If we understand how the universe works, where does God fit?
The response isn’t defensive. It’s thoughtful. Science does important work. It helps us understand processes, patterns, and physical laws. But it does not answer every kind of question. Science explains how things function. Faith asks why anything exists at all.
Rather than competing, faith and science often deepen wonder together. The more we learn about the complexity of the universe, the more reasonable it becomes to ask whether there is intention behind it.
Why Christianity?
Another question usually follows. Even if there is a creator, why Christianity? Why this faith and not another?
Christianity doesn’t begin with abstract ideas. It begins with a person. Jesus steps into history, makes claims about Himself, and invites people to examine His life, teachings, death, and resurrection. Faith is not blind acceptance. It is a response to what has been revealed.
Ask Me Anything encourages people to look closely. To weigh evidence. To consider whether the story of Jesus best explains the world we experience and the longings we carry.
Can the Bible Be Trusted?
Skepticism about the Bible is understandable. It’s ancient. Written by many authors. Copied across centuries. Shaped by different cultures.
But when examined carefully, the Bible shows remarkable consistency, preservation, and historical credibility. Beyond that, it tells a unified story of God pursuing humanity with patience, mercy, and truth. It invites readers not just to learn information, but to encounter a living God.
Trust doesn’t come from ignoring questions. It comes from engaging them honestly.
God, Suffering, and Silence
Eventually, the conversation reaches its hardest place. If God is good and powerful, why is there so much pain? Why suffering? Why silence?
There are no shallow answers here. Christianity does not pretend suffering is simple. It names it. It grieves it. And it points to a God who does not stand far off from human pain. The cross tells us that God enters suffering rather than explaining it away.
Ask Me Anything doesn’t promise clean solutions. It offers presence, honesty, and hope rooted in a God who knows suffering from the inside.
An Open Invitation
Ask Me Anything is not about having every answer. It’s about creating space where questions are welcomed, truth is pursued, and people are treated with dignity.
You don’t have to arrive convinced. You don’t have to pretend certainty. You’re invited to bring your questions, your doubts, and your curiosity into the light.
The conversation is open.
The questions are real.
And the invitation still stands.
