The Grace Message

I'm struggling with wanting to make a purchase but wanting to be careful. How are the New Testament directives any different from the Law? Why do you teach that we don't really have "free will" when obviously we make decisions every day?

Can we lose our faith when we sin? Does Jesus know when He is coming back? What is the narrow gate that leads to life? What is the wide gate that leads to destruction? How do I reconcile contradictions in Jesus' teachings? What is the meaning of 1 Corinthians 10:12?

A lot happened through the Cross: The Law was fulfilled, and forgiveness was provided. But there’s even more: You died with Jesus. This is how you were made new. Think about it: You can’t really be born again without the old dying first, right?This is precisely why we don’t have to worry about “dying to self,” as so many claim. We don’t have to die to self because we’re the new self. Why seek to destroy what God has rebuilt?Still, we face the logical question: If I’m so new, then why do I still struggle with sin? In this essential message, you’ll find real, solid answers. As a result, you’ll have more confidence than ever that you’re not fighting a civil war against yourself.Ephesians 2 says God made you alive together with Christ. You don’t need to get out of God’s way. You’re not an obstacle. You’re God’s instrument. God says, “You are new!” and He wants you to know the truth about who you really are. So, dig into this important message and enjoy!

How can finding the will of God and trying to stay in it be a works-righteousness? Is God judging the world right now? Is it possible to be under physical attack by Satan? What are your thoughts on my husband stealing money from me and the children? I’m having trouble with my daughter who doesn’t believe cursing is bad and wants a tattoo. Am I being too strict? Do the Apocrypha or Didache have any importance to us? Do Christians need to “continue” in order to stay saved? How can we share the assurance of salvation with friends?

Where can I send people for follow-up to learn more about God's grace? Are all sins forgiven? Are there any exceptions? How does the new heart play into sexuality? What is the "abomination of desolation"? What time period is Matthew 24 talking about?

Why does James bring up God's will about tomorrow if we don't have to find and stay in God's will? Was Pentecost a salvation event or something else? Is there a second blessing or second baptism after salvation? What did Jesus mean by a "narrow gate" that leads to eternal life? My Sunday school teacher says we believers are not under the Ten Commandments. Is he right?

How do you deal with people who take your words out of context? What is the "good confession" in 1 Timothy 6:12-13? Did Jesus go to Hell for three days or not?

Are Christians only forgiven if we forgive others first? How should we view the Sermon on the Mount now that we are under grace? I am addicted to pornography, and I feel like I'm a lazy person. How can I find victory?

Do unbelievers have a spirit too? What part of us died with Christ? What does the Bible say about donating one's body to science? Are Gentiles under the new covenant? My wife tells me she doesn't believe in God anymore. I've been praying for her, but I don't know what else to do?

We believers often wonder: Can I lose my salvation? Can I mess this up? What if I keep on struggling? What if I wake up one day and stop believing or stop loving God? These questions can weigh us down or even nag at us daily. In this message, I share the truth about how safe and secure we really are in Jesus. Ultimately, it’s about deciding whether our God is a truth-teller or a liar. That’s right – it really comes down to the character of God. Why? Because in Scripture, we see so many promises that God will never leave us, never forsake us, and that nothing separates us from His love. So, who are you going to believe?
