The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Should believers still look to the moral law for daily living? Should I explore the paranormal? Was Jesus truly separated from the Father on the cross? How did humanity spread across the globe? How do I cope with the theological differences I have with my husband? Can you talk about Melchizedek and how he plays into law and grace? Did fallen angels have relations with women in Genesis 3? What does the finished work of Christ mean for our forgiveness?

The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Discussion Questions: Read Hebrews 10:1-3. What do you think about letting go of feeling guilty for your sins? Can you have remorse and regret without falling into guilt? Explain. Read Colossians 2:13-14. Why is this one of the most powerful encapsulations of the gospel in all of Scripture? Read Ephesians 4:32. Is this different from Matthew 6:14-15? How is it different? Why is it different? Read Hebrews 9:25-28. React to this statement: Jesus is not in heaven dying over and over, so you’re not on Earth being forgiven over and over. Read Ephesians 4:28. If we don’t have to ask for...

The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Why did Jesus tell his disciples they could forgive or retain people’s sins? Is it okay for Christians to have their body cremated? I keep hearing that “God is with” someone? What does that even mean?

The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Why do Exodus and Numbers appear to have different accounts of Moses striking the rock? What do you think of the idea of “have been saved, being saved, and will be saved”? Will some Christians be left behind at the rapture? I worry about that! If we die and are already in heaven, how do we then “rise first” at the return of Christ?

The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Our church taught us that Jesus died only for some people and others (who are not pre-chosen) have no chance. Is this true? What is the Catholic view of sainthood? Aren’t we all saints? Shouldn’t we use the Law to define sin? If so, then why does Romans 14 say “whatever is not of faith is sin”? And what about Luther‘s “third use” of the Law?

The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Why does James say Abraham was justified when he offered Isaac? Wasn’t Abraham a believer before that? I struggle so much with Hebrews 12 and the discipline of God. How can I see grace in this chapter? And what about the idea of Esau selling his birthright? That seems scary to me!

The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

I have experienced being slain in the Spirit! My friend wants us to sleep together. Should I? Can you explain the Sabbath? My son doesn’t seem to believe anymore. What should I think? Which is the best Bible version in English? I believe there are two kinds of tongues, and one is to edify yourself. Isn’t that what 1 Corinthians 14 is teaching?

The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

What If You’re Safer Than You Think? Many of us tiptoe through life wondering, “Am I really saved? Am I really secure?” And when our minds wrestle with doubt, shame, and fear, gratitude can be hard to find. But here’s the radical, confidence-building truth: Your salvation is untouchable. Eternally. Jesus has sealed your salvation, wrapped it tight, and nothing—not feelings, not failures, not life’s chaos—can undo it. You’re safe. No strings. No fine print. No loopholes. In this first message of our series Grateful: A Heart Made Great and Full by Grace, we’ll see God’s...

The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

What are your thoughts on Oppositional Defiance Disorder? What is the power of sin? Does it indwell us as Christians? Did Adam and Eve ever repent and "get saved"? Why did Jesus tell some people, "Your sins are forgiven"? Is being "slain in the Spirit" biblical?
