The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Pastor and bestselling author Andrew Farley's weekly messages and radio shows.

“How do I take every thought captive?” 07/01/2025

“How do I take every thought captive?” My pastor seems to only preach from the Old Testament. What can I do? What does it mean to “take every thought captive”? Can you give a practical example? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/37231250

“If I’m saved, where are the daily doubts coming from?” 06/29/2025

“If I’m saved, where are the daily doubts coming from?” I continue to struggle with pornography. What can I do differently? Did Enoch and Elijah get a special death-free experience from God? I know I’m saved, but for some reason I still get the doubting thoughts. Where is that coming from? Is it okay that I was saved without anyone else present? Are the Canaanites descendants of Cain? How would they be alive after the flood? Can you explain sanctification, holiness, and perfection (completeness) in Christ? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/37210195

Let God… – Part 4 06/29/2025

Let God… – Part 4 Are you letting God shine in you? Discussion Questions: Which of the Scriptures on God leading you means the most to you? Why? Which of the three obstacles mentioned do you struggle with most? Why? React to this statement: God is always leading me, and I can simple “let” Him. How does knowing the Holy Spirit is “good” affect our choice to let Him lead? React to this statement: Christ is my life. What does that mean to you? Romans and 2 Corinthians both say God gives life to our mortal bodies. Notice the word “mortal” which means now. What does that mean to you on a practical level? How is living from God different from only living for God? What is one big thing you’ve learned from this “Let God” series? Verses used: Ps 32:8, Prov 3:5-6, Rom 8:14, Prov 16:9, Ps 37:23, Ps 143:10, Rom 5:10, Jn 14:19-20, Jn 6:57, Phil 1:21, Rom 8:11, 2 Cor 4:11, Col 3:4, 2 Cor 4:6. /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/37210255

What is a “carnal Christian”? 06/28/2025

What is a “carnal Christian”? Do we need to convict people of their sin? How do we best share the gospel? Are there examples in Scripture? What is a “carnal Christian”? Is that some sort of identity that we should give believers at times? Why do some people call themselves “red letter Christians”? Do they really only follow the teachings of Jesus and avoid Paul and the other apostles? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/37200030

“Is this really God or my own negative thinking?” 06/27/2025

“Is this really God or my own negative thinking?” Does God have a sense of humor? Is there any proof? I feel like I’m always doing wrong, and I can’t ever recover the promise God made to me. I need His rescue, but I don’t know how to get it! How can I know the difference between my own brain or conscience and the Spirit of God in me? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/37171290

Shouldn’t we be calling Him “Yeshua”? 06/26/2025

Shouldn’t we be calling Him “Yeshua”? I heard they changed the name from “Yeshua” to “Jesus” later. Shouldn’t we be calling Him “Yeshua”? Do we need to plead the blood of Jesus? What does that even mean? Are the Jews or the Romans responsible for the death of Jesus? Are we God‘s chosen people now? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/37156305

“I lost my son and my wife, and I need help!” 06/25/2025

“I lost my son and my wife, and I need help!” I lost my son to fentanyl, and my wife just died as well. I feel all alone, and I need help! What’s the difference between the Bible and the gospel? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/37148565

“What’s the REAL point of the Ten Commandments?” 06/24/2025

“What’s the REAL point of the Ten Commandments?” A new law in Texas requires the Ten Commandments posted in every classroom. Is that what children need most? Does 1 Corinthians 8 mean we should walk on eggshells concerning the opinions of others about everything we do? Should churches be requiring membership and contracts? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/37127885

“My husband is a narcissistic abuser!” 06/22/2025

“My husband is a narcissistic abuser!” What does spiritual warfare look like today in light of the finished work of Christ? Paul told the Corinthians they could eat meat sacrificed to idols, so why does Revelation 2 condemn it? How should we view Israel today given we are the Church (God‘s people)? My friend is making a big deal out of Psalm 82 and what she calls “the divine council of gods.” What is this chapter really about? My husband is narcissistic and financially abusive. Should I leave to try to save the marriage? Why does God talk to the church at Thyatira about destroying children? Who is He talking about? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/37105425

Let God… – Part 3 06/22/2025

Let God… – Part 3 Are you letting God lead you? Ever seen a circus elephant act like it’s tied up, even though the rope’s been cut? That’s some Christians today: Free in Christ but still living like they’re bound up, needing to perform. This message from our “Let God” series unpacks a powerful truth—God’s not waiting to be convinced. He’s not holding back until you prove yourself. He’s already in you. Already ready. Already eager. Religion says, “Clean yourself up, and maybe God will use you.” The Gospel says, “He cleaned you up and moved in—now just let Him.” You don’t need to strive, beg, or earn anything. You just get to let Him be your life. Stop chasing what you already have, and let Him strengthen you. You’re plugged into His life, so now you can simply flip the switch! Discussion Questions: How often do you think about the concept of letting God free you? React to this statement: God has freed me, so I can walk free! Which of the Scriptures on our freedom in Christ means the most to you? Why? React to this statement: God wants to strengthen me. Is that hard for you to believe without imagining Him getting you “out of the way”? Which of the Scriptures on God leading you means the most to you? Why? React to this statement: God is always leading me, and I can simply “let” Him. How does knowing the Holy Spirit is “good” affect our choice to let Him lead? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/37105330

“How do I feel better after sinning?” 06/21/2025

“How do I feel better after sinning?” Why does it seem like healing and miracles stopped? And what about demons today? How do we know Jesus is the Messiah? My brother isn’t sure about the Trinity. What can I do? What should we do when we sin? Ask God for forgiveness and then forget about it? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/37096150

"I worry about idols in my life, and it's killing me!" 06/20/2025

"I worry about idols in my life, and it's killing me!" Is everyone in the Book of Life originally? If so, when and why are they taken out? My good friend has a six-year-old diagnosed with an incurable brain tumor. How can I be an encouragement to her and her husband? I have a religious OCD, and I worry about overindulging in jazz, art, and audiobooks. Is that God warning me? What can I do to get free? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/37084705

“What is repentance to be saved?” 06/19/2025

“What is repentance to be saved?” What is repentance? What kind of repentance is needed for salvation? Do we have to give a certain percentage to a church to please God? What will we remember (and forget) when we are in Heaven? Is that how we experience no sorrow? Do we have to confess each sin or ask forgiveness each time to be forgiven by God? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/37065585

“How do I know I’m good soil?” 06/18/2025

“How do I know I’m good soil?” Why did Jesus call the Pharisees spiritually blind? What about people today? Who wrote the epistle of James? What are your thoughts on it? How do we know if we are the good soil described by Jesus? Fruit-bearing is a natural byproduct after salvation, but what actually saves a person? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/37050145

“I feel overwhelming guilt!” 06/17/2025

“I feel overwhelming guilt!” Why are there so many denominations? How did they get started? Why does the apostle John tell us to not love the world if God loves the world? I feel overwhelming guilt for my past, and I don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything! Are some sections of the Bible not of any benefit to us today? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/37034915

“They told my son he’s not saved!”* 06/15/2025

“They told my son he’s not saved!”* I struggle with obsessive thoughts about my salvation and staying in God’s will. Is this God sending me a message? My 11-year-old went to a camp and was told that he is not saved, because he hasn’t been baptized in water. Can you help him? What is the true meaning of predestination? Can women speak in church and serve in leadership? Or should they be quiet in every church setting? *previously aired /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/37017620

Let God… – Part 2 06/15/2025

Let God… – Part 2 Are you letting God comfort you? We’ve all done it—scanning our circumstances like a spiritual weather report. Checking our job, our health, and our bank account to figure out, “Does God still love me? Is He blessing me or holding back?” But comfort doesn’t come from your circumstances. It comes from Christ in you. You don’t need to beg for God’s love. You don’t have to earn His forgiveness. And you sure don’t need to perform to be comforted. Your union with Jesus is full and final—no interruptions, no conditions. So, are you letting Him remind you? Convince you? Comfort you? If you’re still searching outside for what’s already inside, this message is for you! Discussion Questions: How often do you think about the concept of letting God comfort you? React to this statement: God has forgiven me, and I can agree with Him! Which of the Scriptures on God’s forgiveness means the most to you? Why? React to this statement: God comforts me. Is that easy for you to believe? Why or why not? Which of the Scriptures on God’s comfort means the most to you? Why? React to this statement: God has freed me, so I can truly live free! What choices could you make to fully enjoy the forgiveness, comfort, and freedom of God’s grace? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/37017700

“God helps us keep the Law? No!” 06/14/2025

“God helps us keep the Law? No!” What is the Secret Book of James? Why isn’t it in the Bible? How do we reconcile being immediately with God upon death yet “the dead in Christ will rise first”? Does the Holy Spirit help us keep the Law? What is the difference between the Law and the Ten Commandments? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/37008140

“Where’s God’s plan in all this political unrest?” 06/13/2025

“Where’s God’s plan in all this political unrest?” Did demons have relations with women and create giant babies? What’s the quickest way to get to know the gospel message in the Bible? How am I to interpret all of the violence in this world in light of God’s plan? I’m losing my joy about being generous toward my employees. What should I do? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/36979710

“Get busy dying or get busy living?” 06/12/2025

“Get busy dying or get busy living?” What is dispensationalism? What do they believe about Israel and the church? What do you think about the so-called “lost teachings of Jesus”? Do Christians need to die to self daily? What does God think about all the war and conflict around the globe? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/36964815

“God will give you a new name?” 06/11/2025

“God will give you a new name?” What does the new name that God gives us represent? Can you talk about the limitless grace of God? My friend’s spouse transitioned to another gender and now wants to serve as a pastor. What am I to think? A church in my area is teaching that we need a second baptism of the Holy Spirit after salvation. Is that true? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/36946665

“Why so many sermons on Old Testament?” 06/10/2025

“Why so many sermons on Old Testament?” Why do so many churches major in the Old Testament most of the year? Can you explain the difference between the pattern (flesh) and the power (sin)? Am I breaking the Sabbath if I go to church on Sunday? Does God forgive us immediately after we ask Him each time we sin? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/36930640

“I’ve lost my spiritual hunger!” 06/08/2025

“I’ve lost my spiritual hunger!” How do our new hearts interact with our freedom to make choices daily? What exactly is written on our new hearts? Do we need to prove our love for God? Are women really saved by bearing children, or what did Paul mean? Is there a particular method or way to baptize that is essential or best? I’ve been feeling empty, and I have lost my spiritual hunger the last few months. Where did I go wrong? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/36908050

Let God… – Part 1 06/08/2025

Let God… – Part 1 Are you letting God love you? You’ve heard it a thousand times: God loves you. But do you really believe it… or do you secretly think He’s just putting up with you? Sure, He “has to” love the world. But does He like you? Enjoy you? Celebrate you? We’ve been sold a version of God who’s perpetually disappointed, waiting for us to shape up and prove our commitment. But that’s not the God of grace. That’s a religious guilt trip in a Bible costume. What if God’s not tolerating you—what if He’s delighting in you? What if you’re safe, accepted, and adored… right now? Let’s rip the mask off modern legalism and discover the freedom of a Father who’s not playing hide and seek with His affection. Check out this message—and maybe, just maybe, let God love you for real. Discussion Questions: How often do you think about the concept of letting God embrace you? React to this statement: God LOVES me. Is that easy for you to believe? Why or why not? Which of the Scriptures on God’s love means the most to you? Why? React to this statement: God ACCEPTS me. Is that easy for you to believe? Why or why not? Which of the Scriptures on God’s acceptance means the most to you? Why? React to this statement: God LIKES me. Is that easy for you to believe? Why or why not? What choices could you make to fully enjoy the embrace of God’s grace? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/36907175

Are there “levels of welcome” in Heaven? 06/07/2025

Are there “levels of welcome” in Heaven? What is the gospel? Does 2 Peter 1 imply levels of welcome in Heaven? Who was Melchizedek and what role does he play? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/36905485

“God might not want me anymore!” 06/06/2025

“God might not want me anymore!” Are my thoughts from me or from the Holy Spirit? What are your thoughts on the Davidic covenant in 2 Samuel 7? I’ve been struggling with drug addiction all my life. I recently failed again. I’m ashamed, and I imagine God doesn’t want anything to do with me anymore! /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/36881575

“How do we avoid sin and live godly without the Law?” 06/05/2025

“How do we avoid sin and live godly without the Law?” If we’re not under the Law, how can we know what sin is? If we’re not under the Law, do we have to put in effort to obey it? If God knew us before we were born (as we read in Jeremiah), then why would He create us, knowing He would send us to Hell? What is my best elevator pitch next time my dad calls me and asks about my faith? Do we Christians have a deceitfully wicked heart or a new heart? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/36856285

“Have I missed the narrow gate?” 06/04/2025

“Have I missed the narrow gate?” What should we expect in terms of “comfort” from God as described in 2 Corinthians 3 ? What is the narrow gate that leads to life? The wide gate that leads to destruction? Have I missed the narrow gate? Or am I on the right track? Should I worry about being deleted from the Book of Life? What does “lawlessness” mean in Matthew 7:23? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/36842280

Are there “levels of welcome” in Heaven? 06/03/2025

“They told my son he’s not saved!” 06/01/2025

“They told my son he’s not saved!” I struggle with obsessive thoughts about my salvation and staying in God’s will. Is this God sending me a message? My 11-year-old went to a camp and was told that he is not saved, because he hasn’t been baptized in water. Can you help him? What is the true meaning of predestination? Can women speak in church and serve in leadership? Or should they be quiet in every church setting? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/36808335
