The Grace Message

What is the new covenant? How is it different from the old? Why does Paul mention the angels in 1 Corinthians 11? Why would they care about hair length or head coverings? Was Abraham’s righteousness credited? What about us today?

Why did you say “God is blue and so are you”? How should I respond to the Jehovah’s Witness claim that Jesus is not God? Did Jesus really go to Hell for three days to preach? What’s the difference between the Kingdom of God and the church?

What Scriptures indicate we cannot lose our salvation? Is repentance needed for salvation? Is water baptism needed to be saved? What if I want to be saved but I’m not one of God’s chosen? Which is better- sprinkling or immersion?

Why does 1 Corinthians 3 mention reward and loss? Does God fight our battles for us? I’m not sure about my salvation anymore because a Satanist told me I’m condemned. Can you help me?

Should women be serving as pastors, deacons, or leaders? Or should they remain quiet? What’s the difference between “presenting yourselves” to God and “presenting your members” to God? Do the warnings to the seven churches in Revelation contradict the message of Grace?

Remember what happened when your ancestors rejected God’s message? They wandered in the desert for forty years. Now, God has a new message for you, so don’t neglect it or you’ll find yourself in a spiritual wilderness. Hebrews 3 offers a stern warning concerning the importance of belief in the Gospel. The author tells his readers to make sure they don’t have an evil, unbelieving heart. Realizing this passage was written to address unbelievers is so important! This offers context when we get to those potentially frightening passages about continuing in sin (unbelief!) in Hebrews 6 and 10. In this message, you’ll gain the clarity you’re looking for and begin to realize there’s no cause for fear when you’re “reading someone else’s mail.” Discussion Questions: 1. Why does the author bother to say that Jesus is greater than Moses? 2. What does it mean to enter God’s rest? Have you? 3. What was the main reason the Israelites did not enter the Promised Land? How does this relate to God’s message today? 4. How do we know the author is speaking of unbelievers in verse 12? 5. What are the “synonyms” in verses 17-19? Why are they so important to recognize? 6. Consider the stern warnings that come up later in Hebrews 6 and 10. How does chapter 3 help give them context?

I struggle with obsessive thoughts about hating God. Does this mean I am in danger? Your message about not having fear really freed me. Thank you! How does the renewing of the mind really happen? What is a reprobate mind? Can a Christian have one? Hebrews is an awesome summary of the new covenant. What can you say about it? What should I look for in a church?

What is a grace-based approach to doing a wedding? How do we live out the message of Christ in us? Is the Romans 7 struggle a description of pre-conversion Saul or post-conversion Paul?

What is the difference between deception from Satan and a delusion from God? My church states that tithing was part of the “natural law”? Did tithing really occur before the law? Should New Testament giving be more than ten percent?

Are Christians only free from the ceremonial law or the moral law too? I have religious OCD and scrupulosity, and I constantly wonder if I'm really saved. Can you help me?
