If God is so powerful why does He allow tragedy and suffering? Tim does a great job at answering this question from a biblical perspective.

The elders of Encounter answer many of your questions.

Chris McGahey, Tim Gilman, Glen Pool, Mike Larsen, and Sheena Hills

You asked; "What does the bible say about alcohol?". That is a great question!

You asked; "What Is The Difference Between Believing In Jesus And Following Jesus?"

Why does bad things happen? How do we respond to bad things?

You submitted your questions about faith and life. First we must establish the origin of truth and what keeps us from believing the truth. God reveals Himself generally to all and specially to those whom He saves. Before we will ever believe in Him and His truth, God must remove the barrier of sin that keeps us from knowing Jesus as Savior and Lord.

Do not Grow weary of doing good works. God will reward those He saves.

Haman allowed his joy to be determined by what people thanked about him. Your significance is found in Christ.

Mordecai is great in the kingdom and growing in power. The enemies of the Jews are destroyed and peace is brought to the Jews. Jesus is a greater Mordecai. His greatness and power exceeds that of Mordecai and he brings peace now only to the Jews but even to His enemies.

Esther wins the favor of the King. The King offers to grant her request, even to half of his kingdom... What do we learn from Esther 5 and how does this point us forward to Jesus?

Mordecai uncovers a plot to kill the king. The king advances Haman. Mordecai refuses to bow down and pay homage to an enemy of God. His standing up against the empire for what is right has serious ramifications. Where is God? How does this point forward to Jesus?

Meet Mordecai and Esther. Esther WINS the favor of King Ahauseres. Jesus is the better King and he loves us not because we were attractive and winning His favor. God demonstrated His love for us while we were sinners Christ died for us.

The Kingdom of Ahasuerus vs. the Kingdom of God.
