How do we reconcile Old Testament violence with the message of Jesus today? What does James 2 mean when it says three times that we are “justified by works”? (We can’t ignore the presence of this phrase, and we must wrestle with it.) Why does James 5 say we will come under judgment if we don’t keep our word? Aren’t Christians free from God’s judgment?

EPIC: High-Impact Truths in the New Testament – Part 8

Does religion ever feel like a never-ending list of impossible rules? There’s a reason for that. In my latest message, I dive into 2 Corinthians 3, where Paul describes the Ten Commandments as a ministry of death and condemnation.Ouch! But here’s the good news: There’s something way more glorious – the ministry of the Spirit. It’s like trading in a black-and-white TV for a 4K Ultra HD experience.Paul’s conclusion? The old way is out, and the new way is in. The veil is lifted, and we see the truth: Our confidence comes from God’s grace, not from tablets of stone. So, if you’re ready to ditch the outdated way of Law and embrace the life-giving freedom of God’s Spirit, click through to watch the full message.Trust me, you won’t want to miss this eye-opener!Discussion Questions for 2 Corinthians 3:1. Read verses 4-5. React to this statement: You can have confidence toward God, and your adequacy is from Him.2. Read verse 6. What are we qualified to minister? What are we not qualified to minister?3. Read verses 7-8. How are the Ten Commandments described? What ministry is more glorious? (Be specific for both.)4. Read verses 9-11. Again, how are the Ten Commandments described? And what ministry is more glorious? (Be specific for both.)5. Read verses 12-13. What is Paul’s conclusion about ministry here after comparing the two covenants?6. Read verses 14-16. What does the “veil” represent here? When is it lifted? What do people then see?7. Read verse 17. What is the atmosphere the Holy Spirit cultivates? What do you think this looks like in your life?8. Read verse 18. Why does Paul mention a “mirror”? What do you normally see when you look in the mirror? And what does Paul see happening in your life?
