My wife and I disagree so much about theology. We have debates all the time, and now I’m wondering what to do. Can you explain 1 Thessalonians 4 in terms of sanctification and sexual immorality? What about Matthew 25 and the punishment mentioned there? Should I be worried?

Why did Jesus pray, “Lead us not into temptation” if God would never do that? My friend is into witchcraft, and I’m worried about her. What can I do? Doesn’t Matthew 25:34 say God prepared a place for us before the foundation of the world? Is this support for us being pre-chosen individually to believe and be saved?

There’s a twisted theology that claims God handpicks a lucky few for salvation while the rest are doomed from the start. That’s not just off-base—it’s a flat-out misread of the Gospel. In this latest message from our predestination series, we’re diving into Romans 8–9, where Paul reveals a long-hidden mystery: Gentiles are in. Yes, the so-called outsiders are now fully included in God’s plan. This isn’t about favoritism or fate. It’s about real love and true freedom—the kind where anyone can believe, anyone can call upon the Lord, and anyone can be saved. Don’t buy the sales pitch of selective love. Watch now and rediscover the Gospel that’s big enough for the whole world! Discussion Questions: How is God’s foreknowledge different from controlling everyone’s moves? React to this statement: God predestined every child of God to grow, being conformed to Christ’s image. How is Romans 9:30-31 the summary of everything Paul wants to communicate? In what way does this Romans passage mirror what we saw in Ephesians

What is repentance? What role does it play in salvation? What about in the daily life of the believer? Why do Christians still struggle with sin? Is it the presence of Satan or demons? Or do we have a sinful nature? What is the flesh? *previously aired

I’ve been married 48 years to a narcissist husband who refuses to work and plan for the future. I feel like a voodoo doll getting pins stuck in me every day. What should I do? Does Galatians 5 really mean that I won’t inherit the kingdom of God if I mess up too much? How do I reach someone who is into witchcraft and continues to ignore the gospel that I’ve presented to them many times?

What does it mean that Jesus is our Advocate? Is that like Him being our attorney, defending us before God? I have congestive heart failure, and it gives me tremendous fatigue. I end up irritable, and I get angry sometimes. What can I do? I’ve heard your message on predestination, but I’m not sure about Romans 8 and 9. Can you explain?

Despite the finished work of Christ, do we still ask God for things in prayer? If so, what things? Are there two judgment events or only one? Please explain the Bema seat and the Great White Throne. What exactly happens to the believer at the final judgment?

Sometimes what I do is out of tune with who I really am: I get angry. I cuss. Help me! What is Jesus talking about in Luke 21 with being counted “worthy”? How can I better know the Father?

Do we see the “gospel” in the Old Testament? If so, to what degree? And what makes the message better today? Your messages on God’s grace saved my life when I was ready to die! What can I do about finding local fellowship? How can I teach my young children about God‘s love and affirm their new identity in Christ? How do I “get to know” Christ? What does that even mean?

Discussion Questions for Ephesians: Why do authorship (“we”) and audience (“you”) matter so much here? Who were the first to hope in Christ (1:12)? Who are the “you also” in verse 13? How does Ephesians 2:11-13 help us define even further who the “you” is? In verse 17, who was “far away”? Who was “near”? How is this a unifying message rather than a divisive one? What does this mean for those who believe predestination is about individual selection? What is the “mystery” Paul speaks of in chapter 3? Is it still hidden or revealed? If revealed, how? React to this statement: Jesus said, “I’ll draw all men,” not “I’ll draft a few.”

What does 1 Corinthians 3 mean about works burning up? Do Christians have two fathers? Do we sometimes serve Satan? What is the meaning of “Son of Man”? My friend believes only water baptism can bring forgiveness of sins. I’m not sure we can get married if we disagree on this! Is that what Acts 2:38 is teaching us - that water baptism brings forgiveness? *Previously aired

I have committed some pretty big sins. Will God still forgive me of those? I lost my remorse for sins around age 13. I wonder why. Plus, Jesus said, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” I’m not sure if that’s really happening in my life!

How do we actually know what Jesus said while praying to His Father if the disciples weren’t there? Can everyone say God is their Father? Did God choose Judas to betray Jesus? What did Peter mean about God‘s impartial judgment of everyone? I thought Christians weren’t judged!

What is repentance? What role does it play in salvation? What about in the daily life of the believer? Why do Christians still struggle with sin? Is it the presence of Satan or demons? Or do we have a sinful nature? What is the flesh?

To what degree should we listen to other points of view on losing our salvation? I’m concerned that I only believed with my head and not my heart. Should I be worried? Why did Jesus breathe the Holy Spirit on them in John 20? Does that passage mean we get saved and then pursue a second experience?

What are “the deep things of God” that no eye has seen in 1 Corinthians 2? How were we crucified with Christ if we’re not that old? Was Peter given the keys to the kingdom, becoming the first pope? What are your thoughts on common law marriage? How do we know we are eternally secure? My adult children are rejecting faith in Christ and rejecting me. How does God view the lives of unbelievers? Is Hebrews 6 saying I might lose my salvation if I can’t quit smoking?

You don’t have a “prayer life.” Christ is your life! Discussion Questions: Which amazing truth from Part A means the most to you? Why? React to this statement: Most of the time, you’re expressing Christ. How might the word “always” encourage you in Philippians 1:20 and 2 Corinthians 2:14? Do you really believe you can do ALL in the name of Jesus (shower, shave, watch TV)? React to this statement: You are always spending time with God. What does it mean to you to be one spirit with the Lord and always in the Spirit? React to this statement: I don’t have a “prayer life.” Christ is my life! How does God’s grace offer us a whole new perspective on prayer?

What does 1 Corinthians 3 mean about works burning up? Do Christians have two fathers? Do we sometimes serve Satan? What is the meaning of “Son of Man”? My friend believes only water baptism can bring forgiveness of sins. I’m not sure we can get married if we disagree on this! Is that what Acts 2:38 is teaching us - that water baptism brings forgiveness?
