What About? ...It's Complicated Series Summary
By
October 16, 2010In an effort to provide the scriptural references used during the sermon series What About? ...It’s Complicated! Below is a list of the questions with at least the scriptures I used during the sermon. Understand that on average I spend about 20 hours per week in preparation for the sermon so below is just a high level summary of about 80 hours of preparation. I didn’t think to do this until after I had written the last sermon so most of the scriptures that I searched and looked at I didn’t write down. Some of the scriptures referenced under the question may not directly answer the question but in context with the message helped make a point of understanding. I hope this at least gets you started on your own search for understanding.
