Why pastors and teachers?

January 22, 2022

If we each have an anointing from God, why are there pastors and teachers in the body of Christ? What is a good study Bible? What is the “narrow gate” in Matthew 7? How are we different from Adam and Eve? I stopped working for a ministry and took a full-time job elsewhere- is that okay? My son is worried about his salvation and if he has enough works. Is 2 Chronicles 7:14 truly applicable to us today?

My pastor friend says there are different kinds of forgiveness: judicial, paternal, etc. Is he right? How do I talk with him about the truth? Does sin break our fellowship with God? Are our hearts wicked, neutral, or righteous? What is the flesh? What is walking by the flesh?

Is Paul’s struggle with sin in Romans 7 just part of the normal Christian life? How do I know if I’m going to Heaven or Hell? Will God forgive me for sins committed in my divorce? Why does 1 John 2:19 say, “they went out from us, but they did not really belong to us”?

A common theme in most world religions is getting rid of the self to pursue more of the divine. What sets Christianity apart is God makes believers into new creations with a new heart, a new spirit, and His indwelling Spirit. So why do some Christians still think they need to rid themselves of the old self to pursue godly living? Knowing who you are is at the core of living the Christian life. In this message from 2 Corinthians 5, you’ll learn your old self is dead, the new has come, and you can be yourself – a righteous and blameless friend of God!

What if there’s no grace church in my area? Do I need to deny myself and take up my cross daily (Luke 9:23)? Who will experience “weeping and gnashing of teeth”? How do we understand God - as a person or as three persons? Does Jesus still have a body? God healed my mother! Does keeping God’s commands make us righteous (Luke 1:6)? Does Abraham giving a tenth in Hebrews 7 mean we should tithe today? What does it look like to humble ourselves? What are the "things above" we should set our minds on (Colossians 3:2)?
