The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

What is covenant theology? Are we under the new covenant today? Or does it begin later? I read Romans 8 about "no condemnation" and still get confused and feel guilty. Do I need to live or "walk" a certain way to be freed from condemnation daily? What are your thoughts about the numbers and patterns of numbers used in the Bible?

How can we know if David is in heaven today? Does 1 Timothy 4 teach that the whole world is saved apart from hearing and believing? Is Jesus's mother Mary queen of heaven? Or what role does she play?

How could Lot be righteous after what he did with his daughters? My friends say God never changes, so we should still be scared of Him like they were in the Old Testament? Why do so many people resist the message of God's grace?

Do we need to try to love God more? What is the "new command" Jesus gave? What does it mean that "Christ is your life"? Did Paul invent the concept of sin? Why did Jesus talk with Peter about John not dying in John 21? What can I say to my grandson who is headed to prison?

I'm struggling with a gambling addiction and have tried to stop. What can I do? Why did Jesus ask the Father to forgive the people who crucified Him? A pastor of 36 years recently announced he has embraced an alternative lifestyle. I'm trying to wrap my mind around it! Who is being described in Revelation 22 as a person who subtracts or adds to prophecy? If we're totally forgiven people, why do so...

Communion is a celebration, not an infestation of examination! Discussion Questions: Why do you think so many churches have turned a celebration into an examination? What was the real problem at the Lord's Supper in Corinth? How do we know? React to this statement: We keep trying to qualify for a supper celebrating that we're qualified! React to this statement: The instruction Paul gives the Corin...

Does God love and hate the sinner at the same time? Why did Jesus speak in so many parables? What is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit? Since believers don't commit that sin, isn't that a great argument for why they're still saved? If you could ask God anything right now, what would you ask Him?

How do we best interpret the warnings in Revelation about removing our lampstand or being lukewarm? I had an out-of-body experience with a bright light, and it confirmed my salvation. What are your thoughts? Shouldn't we expect a full cure of every disease since God wants to heal all of us?

Is it okay to have boundaries with those who've emotionally or physically abused you? Why does Jesus tell His disciples they shouldn't "look back" in Luke 9:52? How do we interpret the incest we see in the Old Testament? Which verses show we can have assurance of salvation? After we're saved, can we lose it?

What exactly is our new heart? Where is it located? What purpose does it serve? Can you expound upon the deep meaning of Galatians 2:20? How should we navigate tough decisions like what movies to watch?

How do you find your purpose in life? My child will hardly speak to me. What can I do? She gets so angry with me! My daughter grew up and married a Muslim man. What would God have me do?

What is Jesus doing as our high priest now? I was told if I don't sow on earth, I won't have a bank account in heaven. Is that true? I have suffered from illness, grief, and loss. My friends and family say it must be from unconfessed sin. Is that the case? What role does church discipline have in the new covenant era? Did Jesus go to Hell for three days (2 Peter 2)?

Here's why you don't need to keep asking God to forgive you… Discussion Questions: Why do you think Christians struggle to believe they're actually forgiven? Which of the "finished work" verses we started with means the most to you? Why? React to this statement: 1 John 1:9 offers forgiveness of ALL sins to the sin denier. How does the dividing line of the cross factor into the two Matthew passages...

Can you procrastinate and your heart be too hardened to be saved? What if you doubt? What exactly happens at the judgment? What do believers experience? How do we reconcile keeping the "commandments" with being saved by grace, not law?

Why do we always hear "get right with God" if we are righteous? How do I forgive someone when I'm so angry at them all the time? I don't want to be a fake! Exodus 20 says not to have any graven images, but what about the crosses we wear?

Were there sermons in the early church? Were there pastors? Were some early church leaders supported by their congregations? What is the new covenant? Do we need to balance law and grace?

What if 1 Corinthians 13 isn't about you trying to love better? Discussion Questions: How do you think most people traditionally interpret 1 Corinthians 13? React to this statement: 1 Corinthians 13 is a revelation of God's love for you. Read verses 1-3. Why is love better than other spiritual gifts? Explain. Read verses 4-7 with the word "God" in place of "love." What does this do for your view o...

My wife wants a divorce because of our financial troubles. What are your thoughts? And when will Jesus return? I believe I'm being stalked by a cult. Can you help?

How should we view the many flood stories worldwide in so many different cultures? My friend has embraced an alternative lifestyle. He now wants to lead a Bible study teaching affirming theology. What should I do? Some say we're forgiven positionally but still need daily forgiveness. Is this true? What about 1 John 1:9?

If we really have new hearts in Christ, then why do we still continue to sin? What is the difference between agape love and phileo love? 

My friend was in the military and experienced a failed mission years ago. He now suffers from PTSD and tremendous guilt. Can you offer any help to him? What does it really mean to offer your body as a "living sacrifice" to God (Romans 12:1)? And how is it worship?
