There’s a twisted theology that claims God handpicks a lucky few for salvation while the rest are doomed from the start. That’s not just off-base—it’s a flat-out misread of the Gospel.

In this latest message from our predestination series, we’re diving into Romans 8–9, where Paul reveals a long-hidden mystery: Gentiles are in. Yes, the so-called outsiders are now fully included in God’s plan.

This isn’t about favoritism or fate. It’s about real love and true freedom—the kind where anyone can believe, anyone can call upon the Lord, and anyone can be saved.

Don’t buy the sales pitch of selective love. Watch now and rediscover the Gospel that’s big enough for the whole world!

Discussion Questions:

How is God’s foreknowledge different from controlling everyone’s moves?
React to this statement: God predestined every child of God to grow, being conformed to Christ’s image.
How is Romans 9:30-31 the summary of everything Paul wants to communicate?
In what way does this Romans passage mirror what we saw in Ephesians in Part 1?
React to this statement: Paul uses Jacob, Esau, and Pharaoh to defend God’s right to do whatever He wants. And now God wants to bring salvation to the Gentiles.
How does the Hosea quote in Romans 9:25-26 further expose the true meaning of predestination?
Why can the genuine message concerning predestination unite us (rather than divide us) and even offer a cure for racism?

Giving Grace to Church Leaders 56:00

6 days ago56:00

56:00

Was the Trinity involved in creation? Do we have a better deal today than Adam and Eve had? Even better than the disciples? If so, how? We have opportunities to share God‘s grace with others in our church, but not all of the leadership is on board. How can we navigate this? What is the parable of the unforgiving servant really about? Are we only forgiven by God if we are nice to other people first? What is “the sin that leads to death”? Why does 1 John 5 say not to pray about that sin? How is Abraham‘s sacrifice of Isaac a symbol or shadow of Christ’s sacrifice? My pastor said we Christians have idols in our hearts. Do we really?…

Grace Under Fire: Answering the Tough Questions – Part 3 38:29

6 days ago38:29

38:29

Too Good to Be True… or So Good It Has to Be God? What if everything you thought you had to do for God was already done by Him? In Part 3 of our “Grace Under Fire” series, we tackle the tough questions that religion dodges and grace answers boldly. Can you lose your salvation? Does forgiveness mean repentance doesn’t matter? Should every believer speak in tongues? What does it really mean to be led by the Spirit? Let’s face it—some of this stuff ruffles feathers. It challenges long-held assumptions, makes legalism squirm, and rewrites the narrative on how we relate to God. But the truth is stunning: You’re not chasing a feeling or trying to get closer. You’re already in—fully, completely, forever. Ready to ditch the guilt and breathe easy in Christ? Press play and discover the shocking simplicity of the Gospel—and why there’s no need to shop for more of Jesus. Discussion Questions: So I can’t lose my salvation? What about people who walk away? If I’m totally forgiven, does repentance not matter? Are you saying God’s discipline has nothing to do with punishment? Does being “led by the Spirit” mean we should wait for a feeling? Should every believer speak in tongues? Is it a sign of salvation or maturity? If we’re under the New Covenant, why even read the Old Testament? Why would the New Testament give so many instructions if it’s not about rules? Is this new covenant focus on God’s grace just a “feel-good theology”?…

“My behavior doesn’t matter?” 26:54

Is the Israel of today the same as the Israel in the Old Testament? Why does Jesus say you can’t pour new wine in old wineskins? Are we in the end times? I’ve heard people say, “My behavior doesn’t matter, because I’m saved no matter what!” What do you think about that?

1
“Does God get frustrated with me?” 26:25

9 days ago26:25

26:25

What is grieving or quenching the Spirit? Does it mean God is angry with us? How can I get back to when I used to trust God? I escaped legalism 15 years ago, but I still find myself double-minded in some ways, and I wonder what to do. What can you suggest?

“I get secret messages from satellites!” 26:53

10 days ago26:53

26:53

How can Satan tempt so many people if he is not omnipresent? Why do we pray in Jesus’s name? I think I need to be honest with my daughters about some things in my life. What should I do? What is a false prophet? Might I be one? I hear secret messages from satellites, and I record them!

“The enemy can’t touch me?” 26:20

11 days ago26:20

26:20

The enemy can’t touch me? What about temptation and accusation? What about when others harm me? Would you share the gospel with my 93-year-old grandfather? Why did Jesus say, “man does not live by bread alone”? Why did He refer to Himself as water and bread on different occasions?

“My boyfriend says marrying me would be adultery!” 54:01

13 days ago54:01

54:01

Is our experience with the Holy Spirit different from believers in the Old Testament? How were they saved? What does God think about women leaders in the church?

My boyfriend says he cannot marry me because it would be adultery!…

Grace Under Fire: Answering the Tough Questions – Part 2 35:53

13 days ago35:53

35:53

Is Grace Too Good to Be True? Grace has always stirred up controversy. Say it’s too big and too free, and someone’s bound to push back. Stones get thrown, accusations fly: “You’re watering down the truth… cheapening obedience… ignoring the Law.” But maybe what we’ve misunderstood isn’t grace—it’s God Himself. What if feeling far from God doesn’t mean He’s far? What if you’ve only got one spiritual nature—and it’s new? What if Jesus gave the Sermon on the Mount to crush the religious, not inspire believers? And are crowns and rewards the goal of godly living? In Part 2 of our “Grace Under Fire” series, we turn to Scripture to tackle these tough questions—and more. You’ll see why the usual answers fall short, and how the New Covenant rewrites everything. Discussion Questions: If God’s so close, why do we sometimes feel far from Him? Do we have one or two spiritual natures? Why is this important? React to this statement: The Sermon on the Mount amplifies the Law. Does our freedom from Law include the Ten Commandments? What about godliness? React to this statement: We don’t need crowns and rewards as motivation. If God isn’t keeping score, why care about our attitudes and actions? React to this statement: You can’t lose your salvation, no matter what. React to this statement: God’s discipline is training for the future, not punishment for the past.…

“My pastor threatened me!” 26:25

15 days ago26:25

26:25

Does Hebrews 6 warn about loss of salvation? My pastor threatened me if I didn’t tithe. He said I might lose my salvation! Did Judas go to Hell?
