The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Does God care about denominations? Do certain groups have no chance of salvation? How do I deal with sexual lust? Why does Jesus say, “Stop sinning or something worse will happen to you?”

Did the prodigal son’s brother ever come around? What is the meaning of the parable? What do you think of the seven dispensations that some people teach? Does Jesus return one or two times? My wife and I need help for our marriage. What can we do?

God‘s main goal isn’t to get us to stop sinning? What is the “little book” in Revelation 10? I have failed a few times at a Bible reading plan. What is your advice? What are your thoughts on respectfully disagreeing on doctrine? Our son was killed a year ago, and my wife and I are still depressed and trying to make sense of it. Can you help?

Why did Paul go up to Jerusalem in Acts 21? Did Paul disobey God by going to the Temple? And did James convince Paul to do something legalistic? Or had Paul already decided to take a vow in Acts 18:18? What is repentance? Why did God wrestle with Jacob? What is God‘s view of kings and presidents and rulers today?

If it’s finished, why are you still working? Discussion Questions from John 19:30 and Matthew 11:28-30: “It is finished” – What does this announcement mean to you personally? How does it change the way you relate to God? “Come to Me” – What do you think Jesus means by “come to Me”? “All who are weary” – In what ways do people today experience spiritual weariness?

I’m a Christian, and I know I’m saved. Now, I’m in a same-sex relationship, and I’m not living perfectly, but at least I know I’m loved. What are your thoughts? If I’ve been praying and trusting God so much, why do I still struggle financially? My pastor died recently, and I have been praying for his resurrection. Is that wrong?

Why did Jesus speak in such mysterious parables at times? Why are some people Paul haters? I go to a church that teaches the Calvinist tulip. Should I leave?

What are the beliefs of Seventh Day Adventists? Are they biblical? If we can’t lose our salvation, then why does Satan bother with us? Is there any lesson to be learned from the barrenness of women in the Old Testament? How can we more easily be at peace with others?

My wife and I see the Christian life very differently. She is focused a lot on healing and tongues. What can I do? Is the new heart just a metaphor? Or did we literally and actually get a new heart when we were born again?

In the Old Testament, God destroyed the enemies of Israel. In the New Testament, Jesus says, “Love your enemies.” I don’t get it! Is Christ still human in Heaven? Is the Holy Spirit now Christ in Heaven? I don’t understand the Trinity! Was Jesus quoting Scripture when He said, “My God, why have you forsaken Me?” If so, for what purpose?

What about someone who says they no longer believe or care about Jesus? I’m a new believer and wonder why I don’t always feel love for my family the way that I should. Does a Christian go in and out of the light? I heard a pastor teach that and it scares me.

How should we read Psalm 51 in light of the cross? What about the book of Joel? How should I view my struggle with mental health? How can my wife help me? What do we talk to God about in prayer now that we understand His grace better?

How much false doctrine can God overlook and still save a person? How can we best understand 1 John 1:9? Why did Jesus ask Peter three times about his love? How were people in the Old Testament saved?

Fully God, fully man - did Christ have the “capacity” to sin? Does the grace of God make some people go passive? Why didn’t God heal Paul? What did God mean by “My grace is sufficient”?

Is the idea of “relational forgiveness“ biblical? Do I need to get re-baptized? Can lazy Christians lose their salvation? What does it mean to pray in Jesus’ name? Should we follow preachers who teach loss of salvation? I got sprinkled instead of immersed. Does that count?

How Do You Rejoice When Life Stinks? Discussion Questions for Philippians 3&4: Read Philippians 3:17. What is the “pattern” Paul refers to?

Read Philippians 3:20-21. What does it mean that “our citizenship is in heaven...

Why do so many people watch sports but not go to church? Is Jesus pleading with the Father to get Him to forgive us? How do you overcome sexual lust? Can you ask for forgiveness right before suicide? Or is it an unpardonable sin?

I struggle with doubt and accusation, and I just don’t know why. Can you help me? Are we born sinners? Or is that not really biblical? My father reached a point of despair where he took his own life. Where is he now?

How do I guide my teenagers to live in peace with their grandmother who falls short of their expectations? How can I know if Christ lives in me? How can I receive Christ as my Savior?

Why did Paul have to correct a situation within Timothy’s congregation near Ephesus? Were there women preaching to men? I’m going through hard times right now.
