How do I help my Catholic friend who believes every communion becomes the body and blood of Christ? What is the difference between your soul and your spirit? My mother died two weeks ago, and I wonder if she is already with God or has to wait. Can you explain that?

I know someone who was hurt deeply by an abusive church experience. I shared with them the message of forgiveness found in Matthew 18. But I wonder if you have any other thoughts on forgiving people who have hurt you? A lady at my church keeps telling me that the Holy Spirit has new messages for me. She is scaring me, but at the same time, I wonder if I'm missing out on hearing from God! How do I keep my young children interested in Jesus?

I'm dating a man who has a terrible temper and lashes out at me, then apologizes, then does it again. What are your thoughts? How do I share Jesus with my coworker who is from Syria? I feel like I've fallen away from God, and I'm afraid He's going to tell me to depart from Him. Can you help?

My friend says Israel is the light, and she is really into Zohar. Can you help me with what I can say to her? Can you expound on the adventure of growing in grace? I'm beginning to see it's not about pressure or measuring myself. Can you talk about that?

Can true believers still struggle with fear? How do God's love and God's grace relate to each other? Why does everyone seem to agree about love but then divide over grace? Is the teaching about abiding in John 15 really about losing salvation? Why does Romans say the gifts and the calling of God are "without repentance"? This gospel is so incredible! I just want my friends to get it, and it's frustrating when they don't!

1. Read verse 7 and react to this statement: Love is your spiritual DNA now.
2. Read verse 10. How do God's love and Jesus as propitiation relate to each other?
3. Read verses 13 and 15. How do these help us understanding "abiding" with clarity?
4. Read verses 17-18. What does God's love mean for judgment and punishment?
5. Read verse 19. Should we be producers or receivers? Explain.
6. Read verses 11 and 21. How do we interpret "ought" and "should" in light of grace?
7. What was your biggest takeaway from this message on God's love for you?

I'm so grateful for God's grace! What does it mean to be a "doer of the word"? Why did a man sacrifice his own daughter in Judges 11? Is Jesus the Father?

Do we ever need a fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit? What does "Jacob I loved, Esau I hated" mean in Romans 9? What about the hardening of Pharaoh's heart? And aren't these evidence of God pre-selecting individuals for salvation? How bold or careful should we be in sharing our faith with our children as they grow up?
