The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Have you faced opposition in your ministry? Has it been a struggle? I’ve experienced some failed relationships. Is it my fault? What can I do?

How can I know for sure that I’m saved? My son was killed in a car accident. Where was God‘s protection? Was his death untimely? Are paid pastors and the concept of elders a product of Constantine or Calvin? Or are they actually biblical?

Why don’t I always feel regret and remorse about sin if I am truly saved? Why does Romans 8:13 say “you must die”? Is it important to be legally married if we’re already married in the eyes of God? How can I share the Gospel with my Jewish friend?

How can I know if I’m chosen by God? I don’t have many friendships and wonder if it’s my fault? What should I do? Why did Jesus oh seem to hesitate but then miraculously make wine for the Cana wedding? Does the Holy Spirit help us keep the Law? Does He help us keep the Sermon on the Mount? I struggle with judging other people. How can I think differently? What is God’s will? How can I process past...

Discussion Questions for Ephesians 5:1-18: What does it mean to be an “imitator of God”? How is this not faking it? Read verses 2-4. What are the two motivations here for upright living? Read verses 5-8 and react to this summary: “You’re no longer them, so don’t act like them.” Read verse 9-10. What does “the fruit of the Light” mean? What is pleasing to the Lord? React to this statement: Sin is d...

Why not just sin if we're totally forgiven? Is there a second baptism of the Holy Spirit that includes tongues? When do you receive the Spirit - at salvation or later? Are both men and women made in God's image? I'm born again now, and I wonder if I should continue to go to my Catholic church?

I reported my friend because of the way they treat their granddaughter. I don’t know if I did the right thing. What is your viewpoint on Easter given its pagan roots? How can salvation be available for everyone if the Bible actually uses the word “predestined”? And what about “many are called but few are chosen”?

Is there any sadness or disappointment in Heaven? Will disputes be settled and bitterness be healed in Heaven? Do angels have bodies like humans? How are our minds renewed? I feel like I’m not living up to God’s expectations. I heard you teach that we don’t need to tithe 10% today. Where do we find that? What about Jesus’ instruction on tithing? I’ve been smoking for decades and can’t seem to stop...

Join us here for our morning service at The Grace Church. We continue our series called "Alive with Christ: Discovering our Spiritual Riches in Ephesians" with Part 6 (Ephesians 4:17-32). Below are the discussion questions for today’s message:   (1) Read verses 17-19. How do words like futility, darkened, excluded, ignorance, hardness, and callous describe the unbeliever? What is the main cause of...

What are the ways in which Old Testament prophecy is fulfilled by Jesus? What exactly happened at the fall for Adam and Eve? I want a deeper spiritual relationship with someone close to me, but I always seem to feel rejected. Any advice?

I get confused and even depressed from all the different theological viewpoints out there. Is Hell only for fallen angels? What is the main issue with Calvinism? Do we wait for God to bring us a spouse or do we actively seek one out? Or is there an entirely different perspective? What Bible version is the best and why?

Are we simultaneously saints and sinners? Can you talk about the “dirty worm theology” so many have today? What does your tag line “Jesus plus nothing“ mean? What is our authority as believers to do miracles or heal people? Why is Jesus talking about nakedness and clothing in Revelation 16?

Does our old self die when we believe? Does the Holy Spirit live in me or does Christ live in me? Why does Paul give instruction about women’s clothing but not men’s? What do you mean by “you can be yourself and express Jesus at the exact same time”?

Why did Jesus mention Heaven and Earth passing away in reference to the Law? Can Christians really have more fun than unbelievers? Is generational trauma a real thing? What about generational curses? Can a Christian stop believing and lose their salvation? What about free will?

What kind of repentance actually saves? How should we view the Lord’s Prayer if believers are already forgiven? Why does James 2 say “justified by works” three times? Who was Melchizedek and why is he mentioned in the Old and New Testaments? Do we lose our painful memories when we get to Heaven?

Who exactly is the Holy Spirit? Why did Jesus tell the man near the pool at Bethesda that he should sin no more so nothing worse happens? I can’t seem to quit smoking weed, and I’m torturing myself every day. Can you help? Do we get more self control as time goes by?

Can you be in Christ but still “think” in Adam? (Well, not exactly, but here’s why we’re still learning and growing.) I know I was saved early on in my life, but I feel that my heart has been hardened, and I keep believing lies. I’m miserable. Can you help me? Is self-defense with a firearm okay for a Christian?

Why do Hebrews and Colossians say to “hold fast“ or “continue”? Does this imply we could lose our salvation? Is Romans 7 about Paul before or after his conversion? When Romans 8 says “no condemnation”, is it referring to total forgiveness of our future sins? Why do some Christians seem to have a negative view of Jews in the Old Testament or even today?

Why does the New Testament say no one has seen God if He appeared to people in the Old Testament? Does the Bible contradict itself? What does it mean to not love things of this world? How do you know when you’ve come to trust God?
