Q&A Sunday October 2015 - Audio

Pastor Emmanuel Akognon answers questions submitted by members in the monthly Question and Answer Sunday. Questions from members: 1. When Jesus died on the cross was he dead for the 3 days he was in the grave? (I never thought of Jesus staying dead, because of the scripture, that says "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord".) 2. Was Jesus, because he was God, the only sacrifice for man's sin? The Bible speaks of him being the perfect sacrifice, could a baby being perfect at birth have died for our sins? 3. Was Jesus only perfect because he was God or being fully man and knowing who God was, allowed him to live a perfect life? 4. In Colossians 1:18 it speaks of Christ being the firstborn from among the dead. If so, how does that relate to Lazarus being raised from dying? 5. Why is it necessary to walk around during offering time? What would you suggest to those who cannot walk or those who do not feel the need to walk up and give their offering? 6. What are the major principles gained from the Disciple's Cross?
