Why does God say “Jacob I loved, Esau I hated”? I know God‘s grace, but I feel tripped up by worries about my prayer life and trying to get closer to God. Can you help me?

I’m not sure I’m experiencing God’s peace! What do you think about politics in sermons? Should I worry about generational curses? What is replacement theology? My husband looks at pornography, wants to hide it, and tells me it’s my fault. What should I do? Shouldn’t we just be telling people, “God hates divorce?” I’m having dreams about coffins. What does that mean? Does water baptism save us?

Discussion Questions: What does it mean to you to stand firm in your freedom? How are our minds renewed? Does God do it? Are we involved? Why do you think it’s so challenging to “set the mind” sometimes? Describe the attitude of “presenting your body” to God. How can we view the Titus 2 and 1 Peter 2 passages without being legalistic? React to this statement: I can forgive, because I’m forgiven, and I’m forgiving! What does it mean to walk in Jesus the same way that you received Him?

I’m loving the new book, “Gospel Zero”! I grew up “examining myself” and “letting the cup pass” at the Lord’s Supper. You’re saying all of that is not necessary? Do the books of the New Testament address both unbelievers and believers, at different times? My wife had an emotional affair 15 years ago, and I still can’t seem to forgive her. What should I do?   *previously aired

How can we view the book of Revelation as having timeless value to every generation of believers? I’m frustrated that my church won’t let our home group study whatever book of the Bible we would like to! What is God‘s view regarding sexual sin? Isn’t there a difference between struggling with sin versus promoting it?

What is the Book of Enoch? Why is it not included in the Bible? My daughter and granddaughter won’t talk to each other. How should I pray in this situation? Can we quench the Spirit? Can we grieve the Spirit? How does God view a genuine believer who is struggling with sin?

Why did Jesus say you have to hate your family? And what about taking up your cross to be His disciple? Also, why did He say we would do even greater things than He did? What did He mean? What role do emotions play in the fruit of the Spirit?

Why do I still struggle with sin? Might I end up losing my salvation? Does Hebrews 3 really teach believers to hang on for dear life? What do Seventh-Day Adventists believe? Why did Jesus ask His Father about forsaking Him? Don’t I need to ask for forgiveness after each sin so God won’t judge me or punish me?

Did the Resurrection Happen to YOU? Discussion Questions: Why is the resurrection essential to Christianity? How does resurrection relate to Jesus’ priesthood? React to this statement: We are saved by Jesus’ life! What does it mean to you personally to be raised up with Jesus? React to this statement by Jesus: “Because I live, you will live also.” Romans 8:10 says “the spirit is alive because of righteousness.” What does this mean?

What do you think “give life to your mortal bodies” means in Romans 8:11?

Who raised Jesus from the dead? Why did Jesus say He came to bring a sword? Why do we call it “Good Friday”?

If so, how could that be easy and light like Jesus said? What are your thoughts on giving up things for Lent? My kids don’t understand how we count three days between the crucifixion and resurrection. The math doesn’t seem to add up!

Why does John 6 show Jesus saying certain things are hard to understand when He also promised life with Him would be “easy and light”? Why did God create Judas and choose him as a disciple if He knew Judas would betray Christ?

Why didn’t the disciples recognize Jesus after His resurrection? My salvation experience was not emotional. It felt more like being convinced and wanting Jesus in my life. Is that enough? Does God show any favoritism? What are your thoughts on Mormonism? How about Church of Christ? I’m asking, because I’m making a decision about a long-term relationship.

I’m loving the new book, “Gospel Zero”! I grew up “examining myself” and “letting the cup pass” at the Lord’s Supper. You’re saying all of that is not necessary? Do the books of the New Testament address both unbelievers and believers, at different times? My wife had an emotional affair 15 years ago, and I still can’t seem to forgive her. What should I do?

I have obsessive thoughts about doubting God and my salvation. What’s happening to me? Who were the “sons of God” in Job 1? Does forgiving someone always mean you continue to interact with them? I see so many Christians that are not picking up their cross daily and bearing enough fruit. What are your thoughts? How do we love people and yet recognize the reality of sinful lifestyles?

How do we properly understand sanctification? How has this concept been misunderstood by many?
