The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

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?

How Close Is Your Jesus? Closer Than You've Ever Been Told. Discussion Questions: Read Romans 6:1-4. What three events were you baptized into? Is this about water baptism? If not, please explain. Read Galatians 2:20. Explain "it is no longer I who live" versus "the life I now live." Read Galatians 6:14. React to this statement: "The world has been crucified to me, and I to the world." Read Colossi...

Are we just sinners saved by grace? Does God have to break you before He can use you? How do we give thanks naturally and authentically? Is predestination a biblical concept? *Previously aired

Are we just sinners saved by grace? Does God have to break you before He can use you? How do we give thanks naturally and authentically? Is predestination a biblical concept?

I finally get it! It's all about Jesus! Why don't my friends online get it too when I post? Why did Jesus tell Mary Magdalene not to hang onto Him? Why was it so important that He ascend to the Father? I read "The Perfect You" and it was like breaking through a wall! Are we still keeping God's commandments?

Discussion Questions: Read Hebrews 10:1-3. What do you think about letting go of feeling guilty for your sins? Can you have remorse and regret without falling into guilt? Explain. Read Colossians 2:13-14. Why is this one of the most powerful encapsulations of the gospel in all of Scripture? Read Ephesians 4:32. Is this different from Matthew 6:14-15? How is it different? Why is it different? Read...

Why did Jesus tell his disciples they could forgive or retain people's sins? Is it okay for Christians to have their body cremated? I keep hearing that "God is with" someone? What does that even mean? 

Why do Exodus and Numbers appear to have different accounts of Moses striking the rock? What do you think of the idea of "have been saved, being saved, and will be saved"? Will some Christians be left behind at the rapture? I worry about that! If we die and are already in heaven, how do we then "rise first" at the return of Christ?

Our church taught us that Jesus died only for some people and others (who are not pre-chosen) have no chance. Is this true? What is the Catholic view of sainthood? Aren't we all saints? Shouldn't we use the Law to define sin? If so, then why does Romans 14 say "whatever is not of faith is sin"? And what about Luther's "third use" of the Law?

Why does James say Abraham was justified when he offered Isaac? Wasn't Abraham a believer before that? I struggle so much with Hebrews 12 and the discipline of God. How can I see grace in this chapter? And what about the idea of Esau selling his birthright? That seems scary to me!

I have experienced being slain in the Spirit! My friend wants us to sleep together. Should I? Can you explain the Sabbath? My son doesn't seem to believe anymore. What should I think? Which is the best Bible version in English? I believe there are two kinds of tongues, and one is to edify yourself. Isn't that what 1 Corinthians 14 is teaching?

What If You're Safer Than You Think? Discussion Questions: Read John 14:19. How does Jesus tying your life to His resurrection life give you confidence about your eternal security? Read John 6:37. What does Jesus' promise to "never cast out" reveal about how safe you are with Him—even on your worst day? Read John 6:39. How does knowing that Jesus' mission was "to lose none" change the way you view...

What are your thoughts on Oppositional Defiance Disorder? What is the power of sin? Does it indwell us as Christians? Did Adam and Eve ever repent and "get saved"? Why did Jesus tell some people, "Your sins are forgiven"? Is being "slain in the Spirit" biblical?

How do we let God love us? What does that look like? I've recently felt a call to Jesus, but I also appreciate the religions of the world.

I've been told that I need to step back and not be so active with my children and grandchildren. I want to find the perfect balance and not over-nurture them. How can I do that? I'm a truck driver, and I'm constantly on the road, so I can't attend church regularly. What does the Bible say about my situation?

I'm excited about the meaning of the resurrection in my life! A friend asked me to send him a sexy picture. What should I do? What is replacement theology? What is the truth about Jews and Gentiles and the church?

What if God's Power Shines Most When You Stop Pretending? Discussion Questions for 2 Corinthians 11-13: Why does Paul spend so much time "boasting" about his sufferings and weaknesses in chapter 11? What point is he making? In 2 Corinthians 12:2–4, Paul mentions being "caught up to the third heaven." What does this mean, and what might Paul have experienced or seen there? Why do you think Paul ref...

Jesus said not to judge, but then God judges us? And shouldn't we make "judgment calls"? Can Satan read our minds? If not, then how are we always getting sinful thoughts in our heads? Why do so many Christian parents allow their children to participate in Halloween with costumes and trick-or-treating? Is it right or wrong?
