The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Release Date: 12/28/2025

"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?

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.

"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!

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...
