A popular pastor said we have to use our talents or we are like the third servant in Matthew 25. Is this true? Might we be left behind at Christ's return if we have not done enough? Why am I being viciously attacked if I haven't done anything wrong? What can I do?

What is one important truth you've learned lately that you might share? How has it impacted your life? After Christ returns, what is life like? Do we spend our time in heaven or on the new Earth? What can we expect?

My friend is a preterist. What is that? Should I be worried? Your nation came close to civil war this past year, right? What is a healthy view of Mary, the mother of Jesus? Why does John 8:31 say "continue" if we can't lose our salvation? How can I have childlike faith?

What is the Nicene Creed? I'm depressed and wonder if I've fallen away from God? Should we recite the Lord's Prayer? Was Peter crucified upside down? My daughter is saved but now thinks Christians are toxic. What can I do?

1. Read Romans 6:1-4. What three events were you baptized into? Is this about water baptism? If not, please explain.

4. Read Colossians 3:3-4, Ephesians 2:5-6, John 14:20, and 1 Corinthians 6:17. Focus on these four words: hidden, seated, in, and joins. What do these communicate about your closeness to God?
