"I'm not sure Christ's resurrection is more than a story!"
The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
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?

When God Replaced Religion: Why ‘New’ Means Never Going Back!
The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
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. What makes new covenant forgiveness so powerful? So controversial? Why do you think so many religious people want “balance” between old and new?

"So many don't believe they're totally forgiven - past, present, and future!"
The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
How do we calculate "3 days and 3 nights" if Jesus died on Friday and rose on Sunday? Did Moses lose his salvation in Deuteronomy 32 when he disobeyed God? I'm continually surprised at how many Christians don't fully trust in the finished work of Christ! How can I help them with 1 John 1:9? It seems to be the major obstacle for them.

How do I avoid burnout?

“Does God help us keep the Law?”*

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 feel guilty over my adultery and divorce. I need encouragement!"
The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
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? As exhorters? What does the Bible say? And what about the two passages on women remaining silent? I'm so grateful for The Grace Message. Thank you!

God Moved In: Grace with a Face - Part 2
The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
What If Christmas Was About Rescue, Not Religion? Christmas isn’t about religion. It’s about rescue. Hebrews tells us Jesus shared in our flesh and blood so that fear would lose its grip on us—fear of death, fear of judgment, fear that God is distant or disappointed. And that rescue goes deeper than forgiveness alone. Grace doesn’t just wipe the slate clean and send us back out on our own. Jesus understands our weakness. He meets us in the midst of temptation. Grace is God’s rescue and God’s strength, not just His pardon. Grace also redefines who you are. You’re not a servant...

info_outlineAre you ready to dive deep where others merely wade? In this next message in our “Forever in His Presence” series, we’re slicing through the fog of misinformation and reclaiming the truth about Jesus – His divinity, His humanity, His everything!
In a culture that often prizes openness to the point of absurdity, we stand firm. Are you prepared to be labeled “close-minded”? Good. Because when it comes to the truth about Jesus, we believers are as immovable as mountains.
Plus, you’ll discover what it truly means to “live through Him.” It’s all about His scandalous love for us, not our feeble attempts at “loving Him more.” And when we love each other the way He loves us? That’s when God becomes visible.
Tune in to this latest message and arm yourself with truth!
Discussion Questions:
- Read verses 1-3. What is the “antichrist” teaching that John mentions? And why is the truth important in this regard?
- Read verses 4-6 and react to this statement: There is absolute truth about Jesus, and we can be “close minded” about it if we know Him.
- Read verses 7-8. What is the main mark of knowing God? Why is this the case?
- Read verse 9. What does it mean to “live through Him”?
- Read verse 10. Why is “not that we loved God” so important here? What does “propitiation” mean and how does it factor in?
- Read verses 11-12. How do we help people “see God”?
- Read verse 13. In what way does this help to clarify the meaning of “abide”? Can you know that you abide in Him? If so, how?
- Read verse 14. How do verses like this (and John 3:16) show the fallacy of “limited atonement” – the false idea that Jesus only died for individuals pre-selected by God?
