Questions That Challenge Everything About Sin and Grace
Discussion Questions:
- As a believer, do you want to sin or not? Explain.
- What exactly is the flesh? How is it not you?
- If you're totally forgiven, why do you still feel so guilty at times?
- Where does repentance factor into the finished work of Christ?
- Why does "trying to obey God" often make you sin even worse?
- What does it mean to "walk by the Spirit"?
- ...
Have you ever noticed that Jesus talks about the "unforgivable sin" with religious leaders? What does "only Israel have I known" mean in Amos 3? Why did Jesus say He wasn't going to the feast in John 14 if later He went? What are your thoughts on the Ten Commandments in the life of a believer?
Do we have Jesus and sin living inside us at the same time? I'm starting to see issues with the message at my church, but I really love the people. What should I do? What's the meaning of Romans 3:30? How does it relate to the mixed message we see today?
What does it mean that all the promises are yes in Christ? I heard that you're not truly saved if you can't overcome every struggle. Is that true? If we die with unrepentant sin, are we still forgiven? Isn't it amazing that God has time for each one of us? That's the beauty of Christ in you!
Why does the book of Hebrews belong in the New Testament? Why did people in the Old Testament live so long? My wife posts about grace on social media, and some people are telling her to be quiet. Is that what 1 Timothy 2:12 is really about? I know God has forgiven me, but how do I forgive myself?
How should we view Paul's instruction about clothes and jewelry today? Can our faith grow? What's the best focus for us as believers? What does it mean to be filled with the Spirit? What about the many places in the book of Acts where people are filled and doing things?
I experience social anxiety, and now I need to get back to work in an office. What can I do? I had a dream and was continually asked, "Why do you keep going back to the cross?" What does it mean to have the life of Christ within us? Are there levels of Heaven? Levels of rewards? What about crowns? I have tithed for 10 years and have been blessed by God. I want to encourage others to do the same. Your thoughts?
Why Do We Keep Running Back to What God Replaced?
They'll tell you to slow it down. Add nuance. Keep it balanced. Because if grace is that simple… it must be dangerous. But the New Testament isn't confused.
In this message, we let Scripture speak without filters, qualifiers, or religious disclaimers. Christ ended the old covenant. The old way was set aside. The wall came down. And if you're led by the Spirit, you're not un...
What does "born of water" mean in John 3? Does it relate to the "sprinkling" of water in Ezekiel 36? How can I get the Holy Spirit? My pastor says I need to! I'm struggling with depression, and sometimes I think God hates me. I also deal with outbursts of anger and rage. What can I do?
How narrow is the road exactly? What does it take to be saved? What about my friends who don't understand grace fully? I struggle with not wanting to read my Bible very much. Is that a bad sign? Who are the people in Hebrews 2 that are neglecting salvation? Could that be some Christians today?
Certain animals were considered "unclean" before the law, so why aren't they unclean now? Thank you for proclaiming the message of God's grace! What can we do to share this message with others more? If we all get the same reward in heaven, then what is the meaning of the parable of the talents? And why does one servant get so severely punished?
What does it mean that Jesus became sin? What are the implications of us becoming God's righteousness? When do we ask God to forgive us of all our sins? Do we need to "plead the blood" of Jesus? Are our sins "under the blood"? How does Satan masquerade as an angel of light?
Do the 10 virgins in Matthew 25 represent Christians? To whom does Jesus say, "Depart from Me"? What is the context of women and head coverings in 1 Corinthians 11? Why are they prophesying if they're supposed to remain quiet in church?
As believers, are we really ever "faithless"? But don't we experience doubt and struggle? How does 2 Timothy 2:12 speak to this? My emotions are all over the place, and my family doesn't agree with me about God's grace. I struggle with this! Sometimes, I'm not sure that Christianity is more than a story, especially the resurrection part. Can you help me? Where is Jesus right now? In Heaven?
If "new" really means new, why do we keep going back?
The start of a new year has a way of waking up old pressure.
Even with the best intentions, it doesn't take long for hope to quietly turn into effort—another season of trying to be more faithful, more consistent, more "together." And somewhere underneath it all, the question lingers: Why does it always feel heavier than it should?
In a recent message, I spent time in He...
How do we calculate "3 days and 3 nights" if Jesus died on Friday and rose on Sunday? Did Moses lose his salvation in Deuteronomy 32 when he disobeyed God? I'm continually surprised at how many Christians don't fully trust in the finished work of Christ! How can I help them with 1 John 1:9? It seems to be the major obstacle for them.
What is the true meaning of Christmas? What role did John the Baptist play? Why was the ministry of Jesus so much better? What is the greatest gift you've received from God?
How does Christmas reveal that God is compatible with us? How does God reveal this amazing truth in our lives today? Can believers have their bodies cremated? Can they donate organs? You make everything so simple! Thank you (from Canada) for the grace message!
How do I keep from feeling burnt out in life? What happens if someone says, "I'm done with God"? I'm an adult, and I'm having trouble relating to my mother who can be very bossy. Can you help?
