I suffer with sleep paralysis. What can I do? If our sins are forgiven, then do we have to give an account? I never really knew God until now! Does the punishment in Hell last forever or come to an end? How come God doesn't use more "gotcha" moments to prove Jesus is Messiah? I wish I could experience Christ as my life more. What should I do?

1. Read verses 1–3. What does it mean to you personally that Jesus is your Creator? How does this shape the way you see His authority, care, and nearness?
2. Read verses 4–5. React to this statement: "Jesus is the light of men." What does His light reveal, and what does it overcome?
3. Read verses 6–8. What was the purpose of John the Baptist's ministry? Why was his role intentionally limited and temporary?
4. Read verse 11. Why do you think so many people rejected Jesus, even when He came to His own?
5. Read verses 12–13. React to this statement: Those who believe and receive Christ are born of God. Why is this simple message so difficult for people?
6. Read verse 16. What does it mean to you to have received from His fullness? How have you experienced "grace upon grace" in your life?
7. Read verse 17. How does this verse contrast the old covenant with the new covenant? What changes when grace and truth come through Jesus Christ?
8. Read verse 18. How does Jesus explain God to us? What do we learn about God's heart by looking at Christ?

If our sins are taken away, why does Romans 4:7 say "covered"? What does "work out your salvation with fear and trembling" really mean? Does Galatians 2:20 say we live by faith "in" Christ or by the faith "of" Christ?

Why are the genealogies of Jesus so different in Matthew and Luke? I struggle with obsessive thoughts and wonder if I truly "did it right" to get saved. Do we really have to submit to any and every pastor? What if it's an unhealthy environment or dynamic?

I wanted to leave a church, but the pastor told me I had to submit to him. Is that healthy? What are your thoughts on C.S. Lewis? Are there still demons today? I struggle with worry and don't know how to find victory over it. Can you help? What did you mean when you said "we want to be left behind"?

Better to give than receive? What does that mean in the context of Acts 20? In Romans 7, why does Paul say, "I was once alive apart from the Law"? How exactly did God reveal Himself to Isaiah? What does it mean for Jesus to share His glory with us?

Take up your cross? Lose your life? To whom was Jesus referring? What are your thoughts on the Orthodox traditions? How do I share the core message of Christianity with my grandchildren?

How do Orthodox Jews look at God's forgiveness if there are no current sacrifices? Doesn't James 4:8 say we need to get closer to God? What's the truth about crowns and rewards in Heaven? What's happening with those scary verses in 2 Peter 2? Do they refer to loss of salvation? What should I do about my adult child who has rebelled? Doesn't 1 Corinthians 3 talk about loss of rewards (plural)?
