The church often treats divorced people as the black sheep in God’s family. Some are even told that God can’t use you in ministry if you’ve been married before. But does Scripture support that? This was Brenda’s question, a recent caller to the program.

While largely overlooked in Christian discussions about divorce, 1 Corinthian 7 is an eye-opening passage for answering if marital status is a qualifier to be used by God.

In this episode, you’ll be encouraged that no matter what you’ve done or not done in your past, Christ has made you blameless, holy, and pure – and equally able to serve in His church!

Jesus’ teaching in the Sermon on the Mount is often viewed as a sweet passage for Christian growth. Do good to others, turn the other cheek, and pray for your enemies.

But this famous passage also includes instructions to cut off body parts, give money to anyone asking, and be perfect like God. Is Jesus speaking literally, or is He just saying to live better and be nicer?

In this episode, I share with a caller why we cannot water down the Sermon on the Mount. It’s a message threatening punishment and death! Thankfully, you’ll see it’s not addressed to believers, and you’ll learn what truly motivates and inspires us today!

Judgment Day is a terrifying thought for those who fear God’s punishment. Even Christians might be scared about what awaits them on that day.

A recent caller asked about two New Testament passages concerning believers and judgment, one stating God won’t judge the righteous and another saying God will judge His people. So, which one is it?

In this episode, I share what we can really expect at the final judgment. It’s a serious matter, and no one is exempt from deciding about the Gospel. But you’ll learn why believers can relax and look forward with absolute confidence to that incredible day!

Understanding the freedom found in the finished work of Christ is life-changing. Knowing you’re totally forgiven, your old self is dead, and you’re a new creation is truth that will set you free!

Unfortunately, not every church is preaching this Good News. It’s common to hear you can lose your salvation, you need to die to self, and you’ve got a wicked heart. A recent caller shared his frustration with teaching like this that mixes old and new.

In this episode, I share how to stay centered on your new life in Christ and living under grace, even if your church isn’t. This is why we’re here at The Grace Message – to help people discern the difference between religious distraction and healthy Christianity. Because once you see a healthy Gospel, you can’t unsee it!

Is Hell a justified punishment for the lost who haven’t accepted Christ? A recent caller was struggling with this question, trying to reconcile God’s love with the concept of Hell.

Hell can be hard to comprehend if we picture God angrily and unfairly hurling people from His presence. But what if God is actually offering us rescue from the inevitable consequences of our choices?

Check out this episode and find comfort and assurance in God’s heart for humanity and His loving offer of life!

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous, so that He will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9 NASB)

Any good Bible teacher knows that context is everything. Yet many Christians remain confused about 1 John 1:9, believing an ongoing cleansing ritual is needed to be forgiven and cleansed by God.

It’s shocking that the religious world continues to perpetuate this doctrine, teaching believers that the blood of Jesus is less effective than the Old Testament blood of bulls and goats.

In this episode, I explain the proper context of this passage and share with a caller why we are as forgiven today as we ever will be. You can rejoice in knowing that by one offering, you have been cleansed for all time, and your forgiveness is truly finished!

The Bible says to fear God and that we should work out our salvation with fear and trembling. Does this mean we should be afraid of God?

While He is King of Kings and Lord of everything, God is not the author of fear. His perfect love casts out fear, including fear of any punishment.

In this episode, I share what fear means when it comes to a believer and their relationship with God. You’ll find assurance and confidence that you’re at peace with Him, there’s no looming judgment, and you’re safe and secure in His family!

It’s easy to be concerned about our sins, especially when the enemy reminds us of them. But the more we focus on sins, the more we start to freak out about our failures. Soon, we can spiral into questioning our forgiveness and even doubting our salvation.

So, what’s the solution to avoiding this sort of panic-filled Gospel? Where do we as believers keep our focus?

In this episode, I share with a caller how the Gospel is set up for you to simply fix your eyes on one thing. When you recognize this singular focus really works, you’ll begin to relax in the beautiful covenant you now live under!

What did Jesus mean when He told the disciples they didn’t have enough faith? A recent caller asked if a lack of faith was why her prayers were going unanswered, as her friends had suggested.

Telling Christians they don’t have enough faith is part of a name-it, claim-it legalism the enemy uses to insinuate that believers need to believe harder to get bad circumstances to change.

In this episode, I share why you can be confident that you have all the faith you need. So you can stop believing the lie that you don’t have enough faith and start the new year celebrating your completeness in Christ.

After all, you’ve been blessed with every spiritual blessing!
