How can Satan tempt so many people if he is not omnipresent? Why do we pray in Jesus’s name? I think I need to be honest with my daughters about some things in my life. What should I do? What is a false prophet? Might I be one? I hear secret messages from satellites, and I record them!
The enemy can’t touch me? What about temptation and accusation? What about when others harm me? Would you share the gospel with my 93-year-old grandfather? Why did Jesus say, “man does not live by bread alone”? Why did He refer to Himself as water and bread on different occasions?

Is Grace Too Good to Be True? Grace has always stirred up controversy. Say it’s too big and too free, and someone’s bound to push back. Stones get thrown, accusations fly: “You’re watering down the truth… cheapening obedience… ignoring the Law.” But maybe what we’ve misunderstood isn’t grace—it’s God Himself. What if feeling far from God doesn’t mean He’s far? What if you’ve only got one spiritual nature—and it’s new? What if Jesus gave the Sermon on the Mount to crush the religious, not inspire...

What is election (predestination)? My church won’t baptize me, because they say I’m living in sin. They say if I remarry, it will be adultery! My Bible teacher says Jesus is the Holy Spirit. Is that accurate? I wonder what God thinks of me being an introvert!
Are We Abusing Grace—or Finally Getting It? Let’s face it—grace makes people nervous. Say you’re totally forgiven, and someone’s bound to ask, “So… sin doesn’t matter anymore?” Mention freedom from the Law, and suddenly you’re accused of tossing out morality altogether. In this message, “Grace Under Fire,” we take an honest, in-depth look at the toughest questions people ask about the message of God’s grace, including: If I’m totally forgiven, then why confess at all? What keeps me in line if I’...

What does it mean to be "seated at God's right hand"? Does Jesus pray for us today? People are telling me that I'm going to Hell. What can I do? Why aren't we hearing people pray for Palestine (and Israel) and the children starving in Gaza?
Are those who have a form of godliness in 2 Timothy 3 actually saved or not? Is there any truth to generational curses for believers? Why was Uzzah killed for touching the ark of the covenant? Is the gift of tongues for every believer? Is it the sign of true salvation? If genuine tongues involves human languages, then what is the other phenomenon we see today?
I’m worried my love might grow cold and that I won’t stand firm until the end (Matthew 24). What can I do? I heard it’s not enough to be saved and now I need to be a disciple. What are your thoughts on this? My son is convinced we need to go to church on Saturday because of the Sabbath. Is this true? What are the names of the Holy Spirit? There are no “levels” for Christians, but what about the apostles? If I’m really saved, then why do I constantly get sinful thoughts flooding my mind? Is Jesus...
Why Bring a Casserole to a Catered Feast? Let’s be honest—religion loves a potluck. Bring your best behavior. Whip up a little self-improvement. Sprinkle in some tithing and tears. Then hopefully, you’ll earn a seat at the table. But Jesus tells a different story in Luke 14. Grace doesn’t ask you to bring anything. It is the feast. Fully catered. No dishes. No duties. Just a wide-open invitation. In this final message of our “Flipped” series, we unpack two scandalous parables that wreck the reli...

If believers don’t have to worry about their sins at the final judgment, then what’s up with 1 Peter 4:17? If we all get the same reward, then what is Jesus talking about in Revelation 22?
How do you know you’re saved if you’re still intentionally sinning? Why did my friend get so angry in defending his view of predestination? What can I say to him? The gospel doesn’t seem fair when the guy who has bad behavior gets saved, and the one with good behavior goes to Hell. Can you help me understand this?
I have been very discouraged lately because of my sin struggles. Can you help me? Could Judas have been forgiven for betraying Jesus? How do I better relate to my teenage children and inspire them? My friend is telling me that we are totally forgiven positionally but not relationally. Is that true?

How is true, biblical discernment different from the judging of others that I often see? Did Jesus really say that some standing before Him would not die until the kingdom had come?

“Wait... We All Get the Same Reward?” You show up early. You work hard. You sweat. You sacrifice. Then the guy who strolled in last minute gets paid the same as you? Sound fair? Not even close. And that’s exactly the point. In Matthew 20, Jesus tells a parable that torches our obsession with scorekeeping, spiritual status, and heavenly reward systems. If you’ve ever thought, “Shouldn’t I get more because I’ve done more?”—this message is for you. Because grace doesn’t check timecards. It doesn’t ...
