4. Read verse 11. What can we expect from the gospel?
5. How do verses 12-13 drive home the main point of this series on predestination?

My church had me sign a covenant contract with them, and now I feel guilty when I break it! What can I do?

Why did Jesus pray, “Lead us not into temptation” if God would never do that? My friend is into witchcraft, and I’m worried about her. What can I do?
