How can I share the new covenant message of God’s grace with Catholics? With Protestants? With anyone?

Is the new covenant a “renewed” covenant? This ministry saved my life! Why does Hebrews 12 talk about God’s discipline in connection with holiness? What are your thoughts about church based on gender, race, etc.?  What about couples who live together? Do we need to confess every sin to be forgiven by God?

Discussion Questions: How has “experiencing the presence of God” been communicated popularly in the church today? How does this perspective fall short of the amazing truth? How has the concept of “fellowship” been misunderstood in the Christian world today? What is the truth about our fellowship with God? What about when we sin? What happens with the Holy Spirit? What does not happen with Him? (Be specific on the consequences of sin and what we retain.) What heresies is John combating in his first chapter? Why is this so important to understand? How do verses 8 and 10 shed light on who needs the solution of verse 9? Explain. React to this statement: 1 John 1:9 was written to sin deniers, and we believers already have forgiveness and cleansing of all unrighteousness, forever!

Is your next sin already forgiven? Is all of Israel going to be saved? Will I recognize my wife in Heaven? I’m afraid of backsliding. Any advice? Do Christians sometimes break fellowship with God? What does it mean that Jesus rose from the dead?

Are we progressively getting closer to God? Do we have to be baptized to go to Heaven? Did Jesus appear in the Old Testament? From a grace perspective, what is the value of a quiet time?

Do we still need to deny ourselves? Who has a reprobate mind? Do we go to be with God immediately upon death or do we have to wait? Did Adam and Eve actually see God? What was it like for them?

How did some people believe Phillip’s message but not receive the Spirit yet in Acts 8? What ammunition do those who believe you can lose your salvation have? Are we walking a fine line in being saved?

Are we immediately with Jesus after we die? When do you forgive and when do you confront someone who hurt you? Why does it seem like there’s a contradiction between Romans and James about when Abraham was justified? I am experiencing anxiety and poor physical health. Can you help me?

What does it mean to walk by the Spirit? Which person of the Trinity should I pray to? Do we need to ask for the Holy Spirit to be saved? What happens when we die? Do we see Jesus right away or are we asleep? Can women speak in church or must they always remain silent? What is a grace-based approach to "witnessing"? How do we practically "offer our bodies to God" (Romans 12:1)? I was baptized and raised as a Catholic, but now I feel no comfort, only anxiety, in the Catholic church. What should I do?

Discussion Questions: Why is it important to frame the entire gospel in terms of how much Jesus did? How does past tense in Ephesians 4:32 and “all” in Colossians 2:13 factor into our forgiveness? React to this statement: The Law is an all-or-nothing proposition. React to this statement: The Law gives sin opportunity to be aroused and master you. How is our death to the Law the same as our death to sin? Cite three ways the resurrection of Christ has transformed you. How does circumcision (cutting away) in Colossians 2:11 offer you a new perspective on the flesh (Greek: sarx)? React to this statement: You’re dead to sin, dead to the world, and dead to the flesh!

What does it mean to abide in Christ? Why did Jesus have to be resurrected? I know it's not about feelings, but how can I experience my union with Christ more? I feel like I have been misaligned with Him for some time now!

What is the minimum one must believe to be saved? How do we interpret "faith and works" in James 2? How can I respect a godless government? Can an addict be saved?

What is the mark of the beast? Should I stay at my church if they don't teach the grace of God? I feel negative and awful every morning. What should I do? Are belief and faith different things?

Is it okay for Christian couples to live together without being married? How did King Saul really die? Is there a discrepancy in the Old Testament about his death? Is it really possible to use the name of Jesus yet not know Him? Why does Jesus say "Depart from Me" to some people?

Andrew, how was your father saved? Was everyone around Jesus healed? What perspective on healing is healthy today? Is the discipline in Matthew 18 really for Jews under the Law? Why did David mention eating the flesh of bulls and goats? Isn’t there “high sin” that is unforgivable? What about 1 John 1:9? Don’t we need to confess our sins to be forgiven and cleansed? *previously aired

Discussion Questions for Colossians 3-4: The word “let” appears three times (3:15-16 and 4:6) in this passage. What does the word “let” tell you about what God has already prepared to happen in you? Read verse 17 and react to this statement: Everything you do can be done in the name of Jesus. Yes, everything. Read verses 18-19. Paul seems to be implying that husbands primarily desire respect and wives primarily desire love. Does this resonate with you? Why or why not? Read verse 21 and react to this statement: God the Father’s treatment of you will never exasperate you or cause you to lose heart. Read verse 24. How does “the reward of the inheritance” throw a wrench in the common view of rewards being earned through good works? How do you get an inheritance? Read Colossians 4:2-4. Would you consider praying for The Grace Message and The Grace Church that God would “open up to us a door” for the message of Christ to go forth and that He would enable us to “make it clear”? (We thank you for praying for us!)
