Am I Forgiven or Not?

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis, Richard Peifer

The number one question we have received in 30+ years of ministry is "How can I be sure I am saved?" There are so many confusing teaching in the world among theologians. Is forgiveness judicial or parental forgiveness. Is there a judicial system of forgiveness - Jesus shedding his blood - that is eternal? Is there a parental forgiveness that we need when we mess up? Does our forgiveness hinge on whether we forgive others or not? The gospel does not teach any of those positions. There is not a two-tier system of forgiveness. The gospel is very clear - as believers in Christ, we ARE forgiven and always will be forgiven! We are forgiven, once and for all, by the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Period. Understanding forgiveness is the foundation for all faith. Let this teaching resonate in your heart and give you assurance of your salvation.

The New Covenant Lens

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis, Richard Peifer

Most of the questions concerning prophecy are motivated by fear. So often that's because we don't understand the "Christ Event" - what happened in the past. The forgiveness we have in Christ and the New Covenant that he ushered in. We can't discern exactly how prophecy will unfold, but we can look forward with hope and assurance. Jesus fulfilled the Old Covenant and ushered in the New Covenant.

  • Ryan asks about Hebrews 13:5 "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." and Deuteronomy 31:6. "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
  • Mark asks if a Christian can be demon possessed according to Scripture.
  • A caller asks about Psalm 23 "The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want. ..."
  • Mark asks if a Christian can be demon possessed according to Scripture.

What Do We Have to Fear?

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis, Richard Peifer, Andrew Farley

This month we're looking at prophecy and the one thing we do know is that Jesus is coming back. When we read about future events - the second coming of Christ - we can count on that prophecy. Hebrews 9:27, 28 "Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him."

  • In Christ we have redemption the forgiveness of sins. Jesus Christ has finished the work of forgiveness on our behalf. The work has been done.
  • Hebrews 12:1, 2 "And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith."
  • Did no one in the Old Testament go to Heaven? Where does is say that Adam and Even were dead spiritually?
  • When we are with the Lord in our glorified bodies will the Spirt still indwell us?

Fear or Faith

Richard Peifer, Bob Davis

Our subject for September is Prophecy. Recent events like the solar eclipse and the horrific hurricane along the Gulf Coast have reintroduced a line of thinking that surely these must be signs of God's punishment of the world. Time after time, "prophecy" is used to incite fear-based religious behavior. We will explore prophecy in light of the New Covenant this month. Jesus Christ has fulfilled all prophecy and we do not have to fear his return or look for "signs" of his return. We are already seated with him in the heavenlies.

  • Dwight asks for explanation of 1 Corinthians 13:3 "If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing."
  • "If we're in Christ there is nothing to be afraid of", says Sean from Denver.
  • Please explain 1 Corinthians 14:2 "For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit."
  • What did Jesus mean by there won't be marriage in Heaven?

Mercy and Grace

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis, Richard Peifer

This is a special edition of Basic Gospel. We've pulled a few calls we hope you find encouraging.

  • Richard asks how far the mercy and grace of God extends in regard to Jeremiah 31:31.
  • Chris wants to know the importance of participating in God's will.
  • Vernon asks about "grieving the Holy Spirit". Is it a matter of falling in and out of favor with Jesus?
  • Paul asks how he can truly accept and truly believe that Jesus Christ died for his sins?

Hard Passages - Part 15

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis, Richard Peifer

Do the elements of communion actually become the flesh and blood of Christ? Is that what John 6:53 is saying? Certainly the Catholic religion believes it to be true. This verse is a metaphor of what a life of faith is all about.

  • Romans 6:20-23 is an often puzzling passage. Does this passage indicate that we can lose our salvation? Or is this passage a wonderful message of eternal security?
  • Romans 7:1-3 is most often used in the context of divorce and remarriage. Is remarriage a sin? What was Paul trying to communicate in this passage? Is it really an indictment against remarriage or is it a wonderful illustration of dying to the law to live in grace? This is by no means a legalistic passage although it is often interpreted that way.
