Questions:

1. How can we cultivate deeper theological understanding in our churches without creating intellectual elitism or pride? (0:14)

3. It seems as if there are thousands of denominations and doctrine, looking at church history it seems like there was only one church, is it wrong to have so many denominations and why are there so many? (12:03)
4. In Acts 2:38-39 Peter outlines what one must do for salvation. He concluded with, “the promises for you and your children.” Was Peter speaking to just those people at that time or to all of us who are believers and about our children? (25:54)
5. How are the Old and New Covenants different? (27:54)
6. How can a believer better develop his relationship with each member of the triune God head? (33:44)
