We have been in a series called Deconstructing and Reconstructing Faith. Our effort has been to consider some of the common reasons people question their faith and walk away from God, Jesus, the scriptures, or the faith.

Last week we started on the ground, building a foundation about biblical authority. We noted that it does matter what we do. It does matter how we live our lives and it does matter how we worship. We further observed that good feelings and good motives cannot be the basis by which we determine what God wants us to do. We also noted that silence is not authority either. Just because the scriptures “do not say that we can’t” does not authorize us to act in our lives or in our worship. If you missed that lesson, I hope you will go back and listen to it from the website. In our lesson we are going to continue our discussion about how to find God’s will for our lives.
