The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
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. Your thoughts?

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? Explain. Died to the Law. Not under the Law. Released from the Law. Christ is the end of the Law. What do these NT expressions say to you about your relationship with Moses? Explain. How do your...

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?

How narrow is the road exactly? What does it take to be saved? What about my friends who don’t understand grace fully? I struggle with not wanting to read my Bible very much. Is that a bad sign? Who are the people in Hebrews 2 that are neglecting salvation? Could that be some Christians today?

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? The start of a new year has a way of waking up old pressure. Even with the best intentions, it doesn’t take long for hope to quietly turn into effort—another season of trying to be more faithful, more consistent, more “together.” And somewhere underneath it all, the question lingers: Why does it always feel heavier than it should? In a recent message, I spent time in Hebrews 8, and what struck me wasn’t a new challenge—but a deep relief. God didn’t come to upgrade the old way of relating to Him. He replaced it. Not with...

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.
