In this edition of UBC Sermon Discussions Byrson answers questions that originated from his sermon out of Matthew 7:21-23. The final sermon of UBC's “When We Pray” series.The main idea for the sermon was: When we pray, remember many are lost.Questions discussed in this episode:Q. After listening to your message on Sunday I realized I don't regularly think nor do I pray for the lost people. It's like I forget their are lost souls who might be going to hell all around me everyday. 1. Should this concern me? 2. What can I do to help remind me daily to care about the lost?Q. I do pray for the lost. In fact, I pray specifically for certain people by name who I know that are lost. But, they aren't open to hearing about Jesus. I feel like my prayers aren't working.Q. My friend proclaims to be a Christian. They know scripture well. But I don't feel like their life reflects the "Father's Will." They've accepted Jesus, been baptized, serves in the church, and even evangelizes. I am overthinking this verse? What do you recommend I do?Q. Our world is filled with pastors and influencers who proclaim Jesus. In verse 15 Jesus warns to "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves." He goes on to say I will be able to discern false prophets by their fruit. What are ways to do this well? And how does one really do this when I don't know them—they are online?Resources: Daily Prayer Prompts We have created a place where you can send us your questions regarding the sermons or topics we discuss in these podcasts.

In this edition of UBC Sermon Discussions Jason answers questions that originated from his sermon out of Matthew 6:25-34. Part 2 of UBC's “When We Pray” series.The main idea for the sermon was: When we pray we pray for our needs with hearts of faith.Questions discussed in this episode:Q. How would you counsel someone who is struggling because they have prayed in faith for the salvation of a loved one, but their loved one passed away without ever receiving salvation?Q. This week's passage was from Matt 6:25-34. It talked a lot about “anxiety” and being “anxious.” Jesus mentions the word anxious six different times in the passage. But, people have a lot of presumptions about what being anxious or having anxiety means. Can you clarify?Q. Is it possible that someone can experience anxiety and that it's not always due to a lack of faith, but rather to a hormonal imbalance or an unregulated nervous system?Q. What would you say to believers who truly trust that God loves them, but they feel like they're “failing spiritually” because they take anxiety medication? These are people who are regularly praying and seeking God in the Word, but because they take anxiety meds, they're thinking “What is wrong with me?” Is there any encouragement for them?Q. We take medication without shame for many physical disorders (diabetes, heart conditions, hormonal imbalances), yet mental health medication often carries a stigma in Christian spaces…and it seems many leaders just avoid addressing it. Why do you think that is?Q. How can the church better support people who are walking faithfully with God while also needing therapy or medication for anxiety?Q. Is it okay to plan for the future? Planning helps me to not be anxious. Yet, Jesus says "Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” Does that mean we shouldn't make plans for the future?Resources: Daily Prayer Prompts We have created a place where you can send us your questions regarding the sermons or topics we discuss in these podcasts.

In this edition of UBC Sermon Discussions Jason answers questions that originated from his sermon out of Matthew 7:7-11. Part 1 of UBC's “When We Pray” series.The main idea for the sermon was: When we pray, we pray to our God as our Father.Questions discussed in this episode:Q. Pray to God as our Father: my example of a “father” isn't good. In fact it was abusive at times. I struggle looking at God as a good father because of my past-my father never wanted to hear from me-I want to look at God as a good father but if I'm honest it is hard. What should I do?Q. God promises to answer? I've prayed for something very important for years and God hasn't answered it-I'd even take a no, but he isn't answering. What should I do?Q. Submission to God. Is it possible that God isn't answering my prayer because I'm not fully submitted to Him? Is it because there is something personal I'm holding on to that I don't want to let go?Resources: Daily Prayer Prompts Reminder: Please be praying for our upcoming elder and deacon nominations.We have created a place where you can send us your questions regarding the sermons or topics we discuss in these podcasts.

Is there something wrong with me?Q. What does Luke 10:23-24 mean when Jesus tells his disciples: “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see!

How do we live out the Gospel and not get distracted from what eternally matters in our everyday lives?Q.

In this edition of UBC "Sermon Discussions" Jason Wing discusses questions related to Sunday's Sermon out of Psalm 16:1-11.The main idea for the sermon was: True Joy Is Found In Christ That Came and Is Coming AgainQuestions discussed in this episode: Q. You decided to cancel the in-person services this past weekend. Couple questions about that: 1) Tell us how the church came to that decision. 2) You recorded your sermon from home and then uploaded it. What was that like?Q. Psalm 16 talks a lot about joy, gladness, etc. However, there's also that strange section in vs 4 about drink offerings of blood. Can you explain what is being talked about there?Q. In your sermon, you defined joy as “a God-given gladness of the heart that exists despite your circumstances.” Let's talk about that definition a bit. How does joy relate to happiness? Since joy is God-given, can a non-believer have it? If joy comes from God, can a believer do anything to pursue it or help experience it in their life… or do we just have to wait for God to give it? I'm thinking of those people who really want joy, but struggle to have it.As a reminder we have created a place where you can send us your questions regarding the sermons or topics we discuss in these podcasts.

How should believers pursue peace when the cultural issues all around us are divisive—immigration, war, policing, or elections?Q. Is violence an acceptable biblical means to use to bring peace?Q. You mentioned how our culture is full of people who don't have peace in their hearts, and how that is seen in so many people dealing with mental health issues related to anxiety. Do you believe that it's okay for people to seek professional medical help for issues related to anxiety and such? What about a person who is saved but still deals with mental health issues?

How can we overcome these?Q. In your sermon you explained the difference between hoping for something and wishing for something. Briefly explain the difference again.

Corey, what other thoughts on the end of the Joseph account would you like to share?Q. Both Jacob and Joseph have their sons swear to them that they will bury their father's bones in Canaan. Should we swear? Matthew 5 - Jesus says do not swear. Let your yes be yes. Explain what the meaning of swearing is in this chapter and should we swear to others today?Q. In chapter 50, we saw Joseph's lack of vengeance toward his brothers and his spirit of forgiveness toward them. It is hard for me to forgive. How do I forgive someone that abused me?

Does Ephraim become greater than Manasseh? Does Manasseh end up like the other older brothers (Ishmael and Esau).Q.
