Do we need to ask God for forgiveness every time we sin? If not, what should we do instead? My friend told me I'm not a true Christian, because I believe in grace and don't think we're under the Ten Commandments! What did Jesus write in the sand that caused the woman's accusers to leave?

Is there a new breed of legalism today? Seems like we're always trying to reinvent legalism and make it more relevant or, conversely, more ceremonial! Why does Paul use the word “if” in Colossians 1:23? It seems like he's saying we Christians need to hang on for dear life! Is there ever a time when God inspires us to confront a friend about an issue or struggle they're having? Or is that just being judgmental?

What if the real gospel isn't about getting closer to God?You've probably heard it all – spend “more time” with God, be “intentional,” confess more, surrender more, and then, maybe you'll end up closer to God. But what if that's all backward? What if you're already as close as you'll ever be? No striving, climbing, or spiritual gymnastics – just IN.If the apostles were here today, they'd set the record straight: Closeness with God isn't earned, upgraded, or improved over time. You're either in or out. And if you're in, you're in – forever. Baptism won't seal the deal. More good behavior won't level you up. And no, you don't “abide” some days and wander off other days. You're fully united with Christ right now, no matter what.Progressively getting closer to God is a myth. Watch now and celebrate your “divine entwine” with Him!Discussion Questions:1. What role does baptism play? In water? In the Spirit?2. React to this statement: You are IN the Trinity.3. How close are you to Jesus? Why?4. What does it mean to “abide” in Christ? Are you abiding in Him? Why or why not?5. React to this statement: Christ is your life and you will be revealed with Him in glory.6. Explain the difference between location (in the Spirit) and walking or setting the mind.7. What is God's will for your life? How is this different from what we often hear?8.

If God has forgotten your sins, why haven't you? You've been forgiven but do you actually believe it? Or are you still treating forgiveness like a mortgage or car payment, chipping away at it with apologies and requests for cleansing? It's time to ditch that religious mindset. Jesus didn't die in installments, so your forgiveness isn't little by little. The cross actually worked, so God remembers your sins no more! If He's declared your forgiveness a done deal, why are you still keeping score? Don't be like some who spend their whole lives in church and still miss the incredible truth of total forgiveness. Watch now and rest in what Jesus accomplished! Discussion Questions: 1. How did the Old Testament people experience forgiveness? Why? 2. How many times did Jesus die? Why is this so important? 3. React to this statement: If God is satisfied with the sacrifice of Jesus, you should be too. 4. What is the significance of standing versus being seated in Hebrews 10? 5. React to this statement: God remembers your sins no more! 6. Why is our forgiveness expressed in past tense so many times? 7. How do judgment and condemnation factor in here?

Did religion get the gospel completely backwards? Religion loves to make the Gospel complicated. It tells you grace is risky, that you owe God, that you need to keep Jesus as Lord like He's in danger of losing the title. But what if that's all backwards? Join me as we embrace the radical truth about God's grace and our safety in Him. We unravel the misconception of Lordship salvation, explore the true meaning of predestination, and answer what's up with working out salvation with fear and trembling. If you've ever wondered whether you've been sold a distorted gospel, this message is for you. Watch now and discover the love and grace of God is better than you ever imagined! Discussion Questions: 1. What are the two unchangeable things that anchor our soul? How? 2. What is the only sin mentioned in ten chapters of Hebrews? Why does this matter? 3. React to this statement: The wages of sin is death. Jesus died. There's no wages left for you! 4. How do we best understand Philippians 2:12-13? Work out? Fear and trembling? 5. What is Lordship salvation? Why can it be damaging? What's the truth? 6. React to this statement: Predestination is God's secret plan (now revealed) to bring salvation to the Gentiles. 7. Does God's radical grace make you want to sin more? Why or why not? To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1258/29

Trying to be good might be your biggest problem. No, really. If you're mixing a little Moses with your Jesus, you're caught in a clash of covenants two competing ways to live. One is an all-or-nothing system of 613 commands that only stirs up failure. The other? It's a radical new way, fueled by Christ living in you. So, which one has captured your attention? Are you exhausting yourself under the impossible weight of the Law, or are you trusting the simple, liberating truth of grace? This is Part 1 of my series, Gospel Zero: Reclaiming the Radical Message of Grace.

Exhausted by religion? Jesus has a better way! Let's be realwhen someone says Christianity is easy and light, some religious folks lose their minds. Watch out! That's easy believism! they cry. But Jesus actually said it. His yoke is easy. His burden is light. So why do we turn it into hard work? Somewhere along the way, we swapped rest for religious stress. We made it about moral performance instead of Christ Himself inspiring us from within. We mixed new wine with old, crusty rule-keeping. But Jesus calls us to something radically differentgrace, rest, and a life where He does the heavy lifting. So, are we going to believe Him or keep clinging to exhausting religion? This message will challenge everything you thought you knew about walking with Jesus. Watch now and step into the real Christian lifewhere the world may not be easy, but our connection with Him is easy and restful. Discussion Questions for Matthew 23, Mark 2, Luke 10, and John 7: 1. In Matthew 23, Jesus warns about the heavy burdens the Pharisees place on people. How do we sometimes fall into the trap of carrying religious burdens God never intended for us? 2. Why does Jesus expose the hypocrisy of the religious leaders? What does this reveal about God's heart for us to walk freely in His grace? 3. In Mark 2, Jesus speaks of new wine requiring new wineskins. How does this illustrate the radical difference between law and grace? 4. Why do you think mixing the old with the new is so destructive? How does trusting the purity of God's grace free us from religious striving? 5. In Luke 10, Jesus tells Martha that Mary has chosen what is better. What does this teach us about relaxing with Jesus rather than worrying about religious performance? 6. Why do we sometimes feel like we need to do more to please God, and how does Jesus' response to Martha challenge that mindset? 7. In John 7, Jesus invites the thirsty to come and drink, promising rivers of living water. How does this contrast with the exhausting efforts of legalism? 8. What does it mean for the Spirit to flow from within us? How does this reshape the way we walk with Jesuswithout heavy lifting?

If it's finished, why are you still working? Religious pressure can leave Christians feeling like they're carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders. But in Matthew 11, Jesus calls the weary and heavy-laden to find relief in Him. Join me as we dive into this invitation to experience a life where the heavy lifting is already done. Why are we so scared to admit that Christianity is easy and light? Maybe because we don't know what to do with Jesus' words: It is finished. God did the work, and we can stop sweating over a debt that's already been paid. God's grace makes a relationship with Him a walk in the park, not a hike up a steep mountain! If you've ever been caught up in striving, guilt, or working to earn God's smile, this is the message you need. God doesn't expect more from you. Watch now and discover how to truly embrace the rest that Jesus offers. Discussion Questions from John 19:30 and Matthew 11:28-30: 1.

Can You Really Do ALL Things? We've all heard the teaching: If you just have enough faith, you can change your circumstances. Well, Paul has a different take in Philippians 4. He reveals the secret to gut-level contentment, no matter what life throws at you. Whether you're riding high or barely holding on, your unbreakable connection to Christ is the secret sauce. We'll also talk about giving is it to get a return or improve your circumstances? Nope. It's about joy real joy flowing from a heart that has freely given, no strings attached. If your giving isn't joyful, then you're missing the point. In this powerful message, we'll dive into how the Gospel redefines contentment and generosity, and how you can endure anything because Jesus is your life! Discussion Questions for Philippians 4: 1. Read verse 11. What are some misconceptions about contentment? How does Paul define true contentment, and what does that reveal about where our sufficiency comes from? 2. Read verses 12-13. Paul talks about thriving in both abundance and need, yet many today use verse 13 as a motivational slogan for success. How does this passage challenge common misunderstandings of I can do all things through Christ? What is Paul really saying? 3. Read verses 14-16. Paul commends the Philippians for their generosity in supporting him. What does this reveal about the nature of giving in the Christian life? How does gospel-driven giving differ from merely donating to a cause? 4. Read verse 17. Paul says he isn't seeking a gift, but instead, what increases to your account. What do you think this means? How does generosity spiritually enrich the giver rather than just benefit the recipient? 5. Read verse 19. How does God supply our needs? Does this verse promise financial wealth, or is there a deeper meaning? How do we experience this provision in Christ Jesus? 6. Read verse 20. How does recognizing God as the ultimate source of provision shape our perspective on life's challenges? 7. Read verse 23. Can you think of a time when the grace of the Lord sustained you in a difficult circumstance? How does Paul's closing statement remind us that grace is not just a doctrine but an active, ongoing reality in our lives?
