Does the Holy Spirit help a believer keep the Law? I heard that I need to hate my family and put everything on the altar in order to be truly saved. Is this true? Where can I find trusted resources to help me interpret difficult passages of Scripture?

Discipline isn’t usually an attractive topic. Many of us have negative memories of being disciplined as a child and we therefore view discipline as something undesirable. When we think of God’s discipline, maybe we fear it’s His reprimand of our sinful performance. And those of us living under grace may wonder where discipline fits into the Christian life. In this message from Hebrews 12, I share a fresh perspective on God’s discipline and why we can view it as training for the future, not punishment for the past. You’ll be encouraged by God’s heart to coach and counsel you and begin seeing His discipline as an expression of His deep love for you!

Why does 1 Timothy 6 mention a treasure that is stored up for the future? Is it okay to be in a home church? Why can’t all religions come together and help each other?

How do I know Jesus is really speaking to me? Does Galatians 2:20 mean that we always existed and are divine? Were Adam and Eve baptized into Satan when they sinned? How much sin do we depart from?

The most popular message on the planet is the way of religion. It’s about rule-keeping, self-improvement, and trying to impress God in hopes of avoiding judgment. While not as popular, there’s another way of relating to God. The way of grace is Jesus Christ in you, dependence on Him, and walking in confidence that you’re forgiven, righteous, and qualified.  In this message from 2 Corinthians 3, we’ll compare these two approaches to life and learn it’s not about what you do but what God did to transform you. Enjoy the beautiful freedom that comes from turning from the Law and choosing the way of grace!

What is the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit? Is Mark 11:24 a "name it and claim it" verse? Where do unbelievers go upon death? What do you think of "if you build God's house, He will build yours"?
