Tonight we will tackle two questions at once, asked by different people: Christians who drink say that it is ok because Jesus did, and he even created wine (John 2:1-11). So is drinking ok? What was the alcohol content? I’ve done some study on this and it is really confusing. Plus, commentaries seem to differ from each other. I am not really sure this is a qualifying question for the sermon series. Here it goes. Why is drinking a beer or alcoholic drink considered a sin among church members. I can't find a biblical reason why this is a line of thought in the church.

 

Question and Answer: As an effort to be attentive to our time on Sunday evening, and also do justice to this *very* important question, we will only tackle this one question this evening: 1 Corinthians 10:13 is often used to illustrate that ‘God will not give us more than we can handle.’ But it doesn’t say that. It only addressed our temptation to sin. Will God allow us to encounter circumstances greater than we can bear? (Consider Job). If that’s true, what are we supposed to do, just have hope when we’re crushed in spirit?

 

Have you even been frustrated with God? How have you dealt with that frustration? Tonight we are going to talk about our frustrations and how they might have affected our faith.
