info_outline “Use your talents or be left behind?” show art “Use your talents or be left behind?”

The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

A popular pastor said we have to use our talents or we are like the third servant in Matthew 25. Is this true? Might we be left behind at Christ’s return if we have not done enough? Why am I being viciously attacked if I haven’t done anything wrong? What can I do?

info_outline “Andrew, what’ve you been learning recently?” show art “Andrew, what’ve you been learning recently?”

The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

What is one important truth you’ve learned lately that you might share? How has it impacted your life? After Christ returns, what is life like? Do we spend our time in heaven or on the new Earth? What can we expect?

info_outline “How can I have childlike faith?” show art “How can I have childlike faith?”

The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

My friend is a preterist. What is that? Should I be worried? Your nation came close to civil war this past year, right? What is a healthy view of Mary, the mother of Jesus? Why does John 8:31 say “continue” if we can’t lose our salvation? How can I have childlike faith? 

info_outline “My daughter says church is toxic!” show art “My daughter says church is toxic!”

The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

What is the Nicene Creed? I’m depressed and wonder if I’ve fallen away from God? Should we recite the Lord’s Prayer? Was Peter crucified upside down? My daughter is saved but now thinks Christians are toxic. What can I do?

The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

How Close Is Your Jesus? Closer Than You’ve Ever Been Told. We can feel guilty for not feeling grateful enough, like a wet blanket of religious obligation. But in Christ, we have genuine reasons for gratitude. One of the biggest? We’ve been crucified. Our old self isn’t being improved. It’s gone. Buried. Never coming back. Still, many believers don’t realize this, so they chase formulas and rituals that only make them feel “less than.” But the truth is the opposite. You’re not distant. You’re not lacking. You’re not incomplete. God has already done the work. He’s made you...

info_outline “What’s the minimum to be saved?” show art “What’s the minimum to be saved?”

The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Why don’t I operate in the supernatural? I feel powerless! What is the minimum required to be saved? How can I share this message effectively? Jesus said to forgive others 70x7, so does He forgive us without limits? Without asking?

info_outline “Draw near to God? We’re one with Christ!” show art “Draw near to God? We’re one with Christ!”

The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Is your heart deceitfully wicked? Or did God give you a new heart at salvation? Why do so many churches still teach a required 10% tithe? Should we still obey government laws if we’re under God’s grace? If so, why? Why does James say to draw near to God if we are already one with Christ?

info_outline “Does God break you before using you?”* show art “Does God break you before using you?”*

The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Are we just sinners saved by grace? Does God have to break you before He can use you? How do we give thanks naturally and authentically? Is predestination a biblical concept? *Previously aired

How Close Is Your Jesus? Closer Than You’ve Ever Been Told.

We can feel guilty for not feeling grateful enough, like a wet blanket of religious obligation. But in Christ, we have genuine reasons for gratitude. One of the biggest? We’ve been crucified. Our old self isn’t being improved. It’s gone. Buried. Never coming back.

Still, many believers don’t realize this, so they chase formulas and rituals that only make them feel “less than.” But the truth is the opposite. You’re not distant. You’re not lacking. You’re not incomplete.

God has already done the work. He’s made you new—fused to Christ, united with Him at the core of who you are. You’re full. You’re close. You’re clean. You’re His.

You don’t have to “get rid of yourself” or drum up fake gratitude. You can rest in the reality of being alive to God right now. Watch this message and see just how close Jesus really is!

Discussion Questions:

  1. Read Romans 6:1-4. What three events were you baptized into? Is this about water baptism? If not, please explain.
  2. Read Galatians 2:20. Explain “it is no longer I who live” versus “the life I now live.”
  3. Read Galatians 6:14. React to this statement: “The world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.”
  4. Read Colossians 3:3-4, Ephesians 2:5-6, John 14:20, and 1 Corinthians 6:17. Focus on these four words: hidden, seated, in, and joins. What do these communicate about your closeness to God?
  5. Read Galatians 5:24. Notice that you did the crucifying this time. When did you crucify the flesh with its passions and desires? How?
  6. Read Romans 6:17, 1 Timothy 1:5, and 2 Corinthians 9:7. What do these passages have to say about your heart?
  7. Read John 1:16 and Colossians 2:9-10. React to this statement: You have received of His fullness, and in Him you have been made complete in Him.
