The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

I have been tithing faithfully, and now I’m three months behind on my mortgage. What should I do? My mother hurt me deeply many times while I was growing up, and she continues to hurt me today. I wonder how I can love her and still have a relationship with her. I’m already seeing a therapist, but do you have any additional help? *previously aired

Does “falling away” ever mean loss of salvation? Where did Jesus go between His death and resurrection? Why did Jesus curse the fig tree? Why did you post on social media that “Christians can be themselves and express Jesus at the same time”?

I did something I’m not proud of, and I’m feeling depressed, like God doesn’t love me anymore. What can I do? I made a promise to God, and then I broke it recently. Am I still OK with the Lord?

How is a person saved? Why would a person be baptized in water? What are “things of this world”? Where do we read that God will never forsake us? Is it a sin not to keep the Law?

Should we be sure to gather with other believers? What role does leadership play? Does living better produce answered prayer requests? Can I pray another person toward salvation? Wasn’t water baptism preached in the early church? How do we understand Acts 8 and 10? I heard a preacher say if I don’t forgive other people, I’m not really saved or not saved anymore. Could this be true?

Why is Jesus called “Everlasting Father” in Isaiah? Did Peter, James and John have the same revelation as Paul? If Jesus really is God, then how did He not know the time of His return? Does God change His mind? What does “do not be conformed to the world” really mean in Romans 12?

When it comes to tithing, what about Cain and Abel? And what about Melchizedek? And what about Ananias and Sapphira? Does God show extra favor to those who give sacrificially? Why does Paul describe himself as using craftiness or trickery in 2 Corinthians 12? What are your thoughts on “hypergrace”? Does your theology address how to receive and maintain God’s promises?

How do you know if you’re talking to Jesus or some other spirit? If someone is struggling with a habitual sin, can they still reach their destiny with God? How is the love of money the root of all evil, if there was no money in the Garden of Eden?

Can a believer fall from God’s grace? What kind of repentance is needed to be saved? How does an unbeliever open themselves up to demons? Is Jesus still human today? Can scientists explain our origins without God? Is the Earth flat? In John 14, Jesus said we would obey His commandments if we love Him. What commandments is He talking about?

Discussion Questions for “101 Bible Questions” – Relationship with God How does obedience factor into living under God’s grace? React to this truth: When it comes to sanctification, there’s you and then your behavior. What would you say to someone who asked how they can become more like Christ? When people talk about getting closer to God, how do you think they’re measuring it? What should they do...

How does an unbeliever open themselves up to being possessed by a demon? Why does Jesus say that no one can come to Him unless they are drawn by the Father? Does it mean only certain people can be saved? What does the term “Son of Man” mean? And does it have more than one meaning? What is the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit?
