The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

What does it really take to be saved? I keep hearing mixed messages on the internet. My wife and son have passed away, and I'm very concerned. I struggled all my life with religiosity, but God's grace has set me free! How much theology do you have to have right to be saved? How do you reconcile "born of water" (John 3) with water baptism (Acts 2:38)?

What is the main point of the book of Job? I've heard we can walk away from Christ. Is this true? I want to start encouraging people with the truth of God's grace online. Do I need to wait until I'm a church member? In Acts 8, was Simon the sorcerer a true believer? How could he be so deluded about buying the Holy Spirit?

I'm of Jewish descent. Do I need to be under the Law? My church keeps asking me about membership. Do I need to be a member? I've been struggling lately, and I worry my sins might prevent God from giving me a breakthrough. How can I know for sure what my purpose is in life?

Questions That Challenge Everything About Sin and Grace Discussion Questions: As a believer, do you want to sin or not? Explain. What exactly is the flesh? How is it not you? If you're totally forgiven, why do you still feel so guilty at times? Where does repentance factor into the finished work of Christ? Why does "trying to obey God" often make you sin even worse? What does it mean to "walk by t...

Have you ever noticed that Jesus talks about the "unforgivable sin" with religious leaders? What does "only Israel have I known" mean in Amos 3? Why did Jesus say He wasn't going to the feast in John 14 if later He went? What are your thoughts on the Ten Commandments in the life of a believer?

Do we have Jesus and sin living inside us at the same time? I'm starting to see issues with the message at my church, but I really love the people. What should I do? What's the meaning of Romans 3:30? How does it relate to the mixed message we see today?

What does it mean that all the promises are yes in Christ? I heard that you're not truly saved if you can't overcome every struggle. Is that true? If we die with unrepentant sin, are we still forgiven? Isn't it amazing that God has time for each one of us? That's the beauty of Christ in you!

Why does the book of Hebrews belong in the New Testament? Why did people in the Old Testament live so long? My wife posts about grace on social media, and some people are telling her to be quiet. Is that what 1 Timothy 2:12 is really about? I know God has forgiven me, but how do I forgive myself?

How should we view Paul's instruction about clothes and jewelry today? Can our faith grow? What's the best focus for us as believers? What does it mean to be filled with the Spirit? What about the many places in the book of Acts where people are filled and doing things?

I experience social anxiety, and now I need to get back to work in an office. What can I do? I had a dream and was continually asked, "Why do you keep going back to the cross?" What does it mean to have the life of Christ within us? Are there levels of Heaven? Levels of rewards? What about crowns? I have tithed for 10 years and have been blessed by God. I want to encourage others to do the same. Y...

Why Do We Keep Running Back to What God Replaced? Discussion Questions: Despite the overwhelming evidence in Scripture, why do you think so many push for a combination or balance of old covenant and new covenant? Set aside. Weak. Useless. Taken away. Cast out. Abolished the enmity. These are the expressions used to describe the old covenant. What do they say to you about your relationship with God...

What does "born of water" mean in John 3? Does it relate to the "sprinkling" of water in Ezekiel 36? How can I get the Holy Spirit? My pastor says I need to! I'm struggling with depression, and sometimes I think God hates me. I also deal with outbursts of anger and rage. What can I do?

Certain animals were considered "unclean" before the law, so why aren't they unclean now?  Thank you for proclaiming the message of God's grace! What can we do to share this message with others more? If we all get the same reward in heaven, then what is the meaning of the parable of the talents? And why does one servant get so severely punished?

What does it mean that Jesus became sin? What are the implications of us becoming God's righteousness? When do we ask God to forgive us of all our sins? Do we need to "plead the blood" of Jesus? Are our sins "under the blood"? How does Satan masquerade as an angel of light?

Do the 10 virgins in Matthew 25 represent Christians? To whom does Jesus say, "Depart from Me"? What is the context of women and head coverings in 1 Corinthians 11? Why are they prophesying if they're supposed to remain quiet in church? 

As believers, are we really ever "faithless"? But don't we experience doubt and struggle? How does 2 Timothy 2:12 speak to this? My emotions are all over the place, and my family doesn't agree with me about God's grace. I struggle with this! Sometimes, I'm not sure that Christianity is more than a story, especially the resurrection part. Can you help me? Where is Jesus right now? In Heaven?

If "new" really means new, why do we keep going back? Discussion Questions: How is the new covenant better? Explain at least three ways. What was the specific issue with the old covenant? Why was it the issue? How are the old and new covenants so different? Why does Hebrews 8:10 say "laws" instead of "law"? Why is this important? React to this statement: I intuitively know God now and forever. Wha...

It's amazing to be of one heart and one mind as believers together! Does God help Christians keep the Law? Why does Jesus intercede for us if our sins are already taken away? Should I drop my health insurance and just trust Jesus?   *Previously aired

I struggle with guilt over my past adultery and divorce. When you warn people about not receiving God's grace, who are you talking to? Aren't believers forgiven and living under grace already? Help me understand, and I need encouragement. My son got taken in by a movement I'm worried about. I feel responsible and guilty! What can I do? What do you think of women participating in church? As deacons...
