I listened to false teaching for a while, and now I feel confused and condemned. I don’t want to follow the wrong Jesus! My friend told me that we shouldn’t use common sense, only godly wisdom. Is there really a competition between those two?
What is the punishment mentioned in 2 Corinthians 10? How does it relate to “taking every thought captive”? What is the “courts of Heaven” teaching? Which verses say the Trinity never had a beginning? I’m trying to figure out if I was truly saved long ago. Also, I made a deal with God to give up my salvation in exchange for physical relief from pain. I wonder if I ruined my eternity!
My pastor seems to only preach from the Old Testament. What can I do? What does it mean to “take every thought captive”? Can you give a practical example?
I continue to struggle with pornography. What can I do differently? Did Enoch and Elijah get a special death-free experience from God? I know I’m saved, but for some reason I still get the doubting thoughts. Where is that coming from? Is it okay that I was saved without anyone else present? Are the Canaanites descendants of Cain? How would they be alive after the flood? Can you explain sanctification, holiness, and perfection (comp...
Are you letting God shine in you?
Discussion Questions:
- Which of the Scriptures on God leading you means the most to you? Why?
- Which of the three obstacles mentioned do you struggle with most? Why?
- React to this statement: God is always leading me, and I can simple “let” Him.
- How does knowing the Holy Spirit is “good” affect our choice to let Him lead?
- React to this statement: Christ is my life. What does tha...
Do we need to convict people of their sin? How do we best share the gospel? Are there examples in Scripture? What is a “carnal Christian”? Is that some sort of identity that we should give believers at times? Why do some people call themselves “red letter Christians”? Do they really only follow the teachings of Jesus and avoid Paul and the other apostles?
Does God have a sense of humor? Is there any proof? I feel like I’m always doing wrong, and I can’t ever recover the promise God made to me. I need His rescue, but I don’t know how to get it! How can I know the difference between my own brain or conscience and the Spirit of God in me?
I heard they changed the name from “Yeshua” to “Jesus” later. Shouldn’t we be calling Him “Yeshua”? Do we need to plead the blood of Jesus? What does that even mean? Are the Jews or the Romans responsible for the death of Jesus? Are we God‘s chosen people now?
I lost my son to fentanyl, and my wife just died as well. I feel all alone, and I need help! What’s the difference between the Bible and the gospel?
A new law in Texas requires the Ten Commandments posted in every classroom. Is that what children need most? Does 1 Corinthians 8 mean we should walk on eggshells concerning the opinions of others about everything we do? Should churches be requiring membership and contracts?
What does spiritual warfare look like today in light of the finished work of Christ? Paul told the Corinthians they could eat meat sacrificed to idols, so why does Revelation 2 condemn it? How should we view Israel today given we are the Church (God‘s people)? My friend is making a big deal out of Psalm 82 and what she calls “the divine council of gods.” What is this chapter really about? My husband is narcissistic and financially ...
Are you letting God lead you?
Ever seen a circus elephant act like it’s tied up, even though the rope’s been cut? That’s some Christians today: Free in Christ but still living like they’re bound up, needing to perform.
This message from our “Let God” series unpacks a powerful truth—God’s not waiting to be convinced. He’s not holding back until you prove yourself. He’s already in you. Already ready. Already eager.
Religion ...
Why does it seem like healing and miracles stopped? And what about demons today? How do we know Jesus is the Messiah? My brother isn’t sure about the Trinity. What can I do? What should we do when we sin? Ask God for forgiveness and then forget about it?
Is everyone in the Book of Life originally? If so, when and why are they taken out? My good friend has a six-year-old diagnosed with an incurable brain tumor. How can I be an encouragement to her and her husband? I have a religious OCD, and I worry about overindulging in jazz, art, and audiobooks. Is that God warning me? What can I do to get free?
What is repentance? What kind of repentance is needed for salvation? Do we have to give a certain percentage to a church to please God? What will we remember (and forget) when we are in Heaven? Is that how we experience no sorrow? Do we have to confess each sin or ask forgiveness each time to be forgiven by God?
Why did Jesus call the Pharisees spiritually blind? What about people today? Who wrote the epistle of James? What are your thoughts on it? How do we know if we are the good soil described by Jesus? Fruit-bearing is a natural byproduct after salvation, but what actually saves a person?
Why are there so many denominations? How did they get started? Why does the apostle John tell us to not love the world if God loves the world? I feel overwhelming guilt for my past, and I don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything! Are some sections of the Bible not of any benefit to us today?
I struggle with obsessive thoughts about my salvation and staying in God’s will. Is this God sending me a message? My 11-year-old went to a camp and was told that he is not saved, because he hasn’t been baptized in water. Can you help him? What is the true meaning of predestination? Can women speak in church and serve in leadership? Or should they be quiet in every church setting?

Are you letting God comfort you?
We’ve all done it—scanning our circumstances like a spiritual weather report. Checking our job, our health, and our bank account to figure out, “Does God still love me? Is He blessing me or holding back?”
But comfort doesn’t come from your circumstances. It comes from Christ in you.
You don’t need to beg for God’s love. You don’t have to earn His forgiveness. And you sure don’t need to perf...
What is the Secret Book of James? Why isn’t it in the Bible? How do we reconcile being immediately with God upon death yet “the dead in Christ will rise first”? Does the Holy Spirit help us keep the Law? What is the difference between the Law and the Ten Commandments?
