Why don't most Christians use the Hebrew names for God and Jesus? I like that you don't try to fit into a certain theological box! What is the tribulation and how long does it last? What is the gift of tongues? I was told to practice it, and now my family is upset because I don't.

Tribulation, Tongues and Names for God

What If You're Not the Problem? What if you're not your own worst enemy? In this message, Andrew explores your spiritual anatomy: spirit, soul, and body. Discover why your old self wasn't improved but replaced, why sinful thoughts and feelings don't define you, and how your soul can reflect the truth already planted within you. You are one spirit with the Lord, fully embraced by God, and righteous even while your mind is being renewed. You're not the problem. Discussion Questions: <ol> <li>Read 1 Thessalonians 5:23 and 1 Corinthians 6:17. What do these verses tell us about the way God sees your whole person (spirit, soul, and body) and why is it important to stop viewing any part of yourself as inherently bad?</li> <li>Read Romans 8:16 and 1 Corinthians 2:11. What makes your spirit different from your soul and body, and how can knowing that your spirit is joined to the Lord give you confidence about your true identity?</li> <li>Read Romans 12:2, Philippians 4:7, and James 1:21. If your soul includes your mind, choices, and emotions, what do these passages show about how the soul learns, grows, and is renewed without becoming the basis of your righteousness or identity?</li> <li>Read Hebrews 4:12, Matthew 11:29, and Hebrews 6:19. What do these passages reveal about the soul, and how can they help us reject the idea that the soul itself is evil rather than something God loves, preserves, and ministers to?</li> <li>Read Romans 12:1 and 1 Corinthians 6:19–20. How does God describe your physical body, and how would believing that your body is holy, acceptable, and a dwelling place of God change the way you think about yourself physically?</li> <li>Read Romans 6:12–13 and 1 Corinthians 6:15. If your body belongs to Christ and can be presented as an instrument of righteousness, what does that tell us about the difference between your body itself and the sin that sometimes tries to operate through it?</li> <li>Read 1 Peter 2:11, Romans 6:12–13, and Romans 8:9. Where does Scripture locate the real conflict in the Christian life, and how does it help to recognize that your enemies are sin, fleshly influences, the world, and the devil (not your spirit, your soul, or your body)?</li> </ol>

Grace Anatomy: What If You're Not the Problem?

How do you confront an unbelieving friend involved in habitual sin? I've been hunting for a job for a long time. What should I do? My friends reject my explanation of 1 John 1:9. Is there a way that I can explain it better?

Sharing the Truth with Friends

I was arrested and now nobody at my church will talk to me. I've lost my family, my friends, and everything! What can I do? I had a long-term affair, and now I struggle with the memories of it. What can I do?

Jesus Said This Was Coming - Part 2

How do I break free from a judgment mentality? I want to go into ministry, but some say I am not qualified. What are your thoughts? How can I share the Gospel more accurately now that I understand Grace better? Are we sinners or saints or both? What does it mean to no longer be “in” our sins? If God is not the author of sin, then how did Satan come about?
