The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Thank you for sharing the grace message! Many Bible teachers say we can gain or lose rewards in Heaven through what we do. How did you come to believe we all get the same in Heaven? My brother passed away, and now I wonder where he is. Did he go straight to Heaven? Or does he have to wait to see God?

Discussion Questions for, “New Year, Same You!”: What is the new commandment? How is having it different from “Law keeping”? How have you experienced the “new way to think”? Give an example. How does the “new way to serve” differ from legalistic pressure or obligation?

Today, we celebrate Jesus as “Light in the Darkness” (John 1) with this special Christmas service. Discusion Questions: Why is it important to recognize Jesus as Creator? What does it mean to you that Jesus is “the Light of men”? Verse 12 says, “even to those who believe in His name.” What does this say about the minimum needed to be saved? How does it speak to those who criticize “easy believism”...

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? I want to be closer to Him. What is the discipline of the Lord in Hebrews 12? Does God really “scourge” us?

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? What about behavior passages in the New Testament?  I try to praise God but often fall short. What should I do? My best friend died, and I didn’t get a chance to say goodbye.

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?
