Stay the Course: Simple Answers to Complex Questions
Can God create a rock so large He couldn’t lift it? How can you trust the Bible? Hasn’t science proven the Bible isn’t true? We all come across difficult questions, but often the answers are simpler than we think.
QUEST: Clubhouse Service for April 25
Family Quest: Extreme Makeover, Spiritual Edition – Salt and Light, Lesson 1
LESSON 1: BEING DOCTORS WHO MAKE HOUSE CALLS
What if Jesus had stayed in the temple courts or the synagogue teaching? What if He never ventured out into the community, never called old Zach down from the tree, never ate with tax collectors and sinners, never touched the sick and hurting? Why don’t doctors make house calls these days? I’m not sure, but wouldn’t it be interesting if suddenly people stopped going to a doctors office or hospital when they were ill?
What if they thought that was the last place to go to be healed? How long would it take for the docs to begin making house calls again? Not long I suspect. Is the church today, the body of Christ the great Physician, staying in the hospital building waiting for the sick to show up? Or, worse yet, staying in the hospital talking about the remedy but secretly hoping that the sick stay away?

Family Quest: Extreme Makeover, Spiritual Edition – Church, Lesson 3
LESSON 3: ENCOURAGE AND SHARE YOUR BLESSINGS
The Bible mentions “one another” or “each other” some fifty times to give the body of believers instruction on how to live together. Contrary to what many of us have always thought, these passages are not directed at how we relate to the world but rather how we should relate with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Just like God gave the nation of Israel the law in order to make them stand out as “other than” in the world, He has given the church the “one anothers” as a means to bring Himself glory in the world through us.
Today we’ll look at two of these: encourage one another and share with one another.
