Faith raises all sorts of questions. While many churches avoid controversial topics, here at Asbury, we tackle them head on. So let’s talk about it.
In a world that increasingly blurs the lines between right and wrong, this sermon tackles some of the most common moral questions Christians wrestle with today - topics like marijuana use, casual sex, and other modern ethical dilemmas. Rather than offering quick judgments or culture-driven answers, we turn to Scripture to seek God’s heart and wisdom.

Whether you’re a lifelong reader or just curious about faith, this message will help you navigate the Bible with confidence, insight, and openness.
Life can feel unfair, and suffering often leaves us questioning God’s presence. This sermon explores the age-old question of why bad things happen to good people, looking at the story of Job as a guide.
