Sunday: sermon

Today in church we're starting a new sermon series called "Ask me anything."  Pastor JD started with why it's ok to ask questions, etc. and mentioned that Jesus says we should be like little children.

Whenever I've heard that phrase I've always thought we should imitate the trust and absolute love and carefree-ness that children have.  The passage the pastor was talking about, he said we should be like children in how we ask questions.

Have I mentioned that Isaac asks a lot of questions lately?

Anyway, the second half of the message Pastor JD answered questions that had been texted to him during the sermon.  So he had to answer them off the cuff.  I was very impressed with the answers, but some of the answers reminded me of how I answer Isaac's questions.

Sometimes I don't answer his question directly.  Sometimes Isaac has an incorrect underlying idea that I need to address that misconception instead.  Sometimes I have to say I don't know.  Pastor JD did the same thing for some of the questions.  He was forthright about it, and always said that he doesn't have all the answers, etc., but didn't always answer the question directly.

Anyway.  An interesting sermon, especially since I'm still thinking about it.
