January 13, 2024 01:41 - 25 minutes - 11.9 MB

How do we know the narrow gate refers to grace? Did the Crusades have anything to do with authentic Christianity? Why is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit an unforgivable sin? Did I commit it?

Does fasting “widen our pipeline” to God?

January 05, 2024 01:44 - 25 minutes - 11.9 MB

How can I share Christ with my Muslim friend? He questions whether Jesus really claimed to be God. Are the Spirit of Christ and the Holy Spirit different?

Also, does it make healing more likely or does it help get our prayers answered?

Are you gaining or losing rewards?

January 04, 2024 01:43 - 25 minutes - 11.9 MB

Thank you for sharing the grace message! Many Bible teachers say we can gain or lose rewards in Heaven through what we do. How did you come to believe we all get the same in Heaven? My brother passed away, and now I wonder where he is. Did he go straight to Heaven? Or does he have to wait to see God?

“You will be saved, you and your household”

January 03, 2024 01:50 - 25 minutes - 11.9 MB

Why does Acts say “you will be saved, you and your household” if each individual needs to believe? What “commandments” does God refer to in Revelation 14? Why would Jesus call the church “dead” in Revelation if we are alive in Christ? If people in Jesus’ day called Satan “the prince of demons”, then who is the “king of demons”?

“Should you really ‘give in secret’ as Jesus said?”

January 02, 2024 01:36 - 25 minutes - 11.9 MB

I know that our spirit goes to Heaven, but what happens to our soul? Should we really try to “give in secret” as Jesus said in Matthew 6? My Bible study leader says we need to the Holy Spirit to help us keep the Law. What can I do to help him understand the truth?

December 31, 2023 20:40 - 54 minutes - 25.1 MB

Do unbelievers suffer forever in Hell? Or might there be an end to their suffering? Do we receive the Holy Spirit through water baptism? Does Acts 2:38 mean that water baptism is the key to salvation? In Acts 21, God warns Paul about going up to Jerusalem. Does that mean Paul was disobedient in going?

December 29, 2023 01:40 - 25 minutes - 11.9 MB

I’ve heard that salvation is guaranteed but rewards are not. Is this true? The world says that we learn from failure, not success. To what degree should we believers take this to heart?

How exactly does God’s Spirit testify to us that we’re His children?

How can I fight the fear that plagues me? Who do the ten virgins represent in Jesus’ parable? I know I should forgive my older sister, but I don’t know how. Can you help? Doesn’t total forgiveness contradict the judgment seat of Christ? If not, why not?

12.25.2023 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

December 26, 2023 01:56 - 25 minutes - 11.9 MB

What does John 1 have to say about the humanity and divinity of Jesus? As I get older, I wonder about my purpose and my impact. I have a list of things I want to accomplish, but I fall short. What should I do? Is 1 Thessalonians referring to the return of Christ at a future date (the rapture)?

Why did Jesus tell the thief on the cross that He would be in paradise (Heaven) but later told Mary (after the resurrection) that He had not ascended? How does the Gospel balance with the Law?

December 23, 2023 01:39 - 25 minutes - 11.9 MB

Why won’t you teach that the New Covenant is simply the Ten Commandments written on the believer’s heart? Why does Romans 13 say to obey government authority? What if the government is asking you to do sinful things?

I have been tithing faithfully, and now I’m three months behind on my mortgage. What should I do? My mother hurt me deeply many times while I was growing up, and she continues to hurt me today.

December 20, 2023 01:37 - 25 minutes - 11.9 MB

Does “falling away” ever mean loss of salvation? Where did Jesus go between His death and resurrection? Why did Jesus curse the fig tree? Why did you post on social media that “Christians can be themselves and express Jesus at the same time”?

I did something I’m not proud of, and I’m feeling depressed, like God doesn’t love me anymore. What can I do? I made a promise to God, and then I broke it recently. Am I still OK with the Lord? I want to be closer to Him. What is the discipline of the Lord in Hebrews 12? Does God really “scourge” us?

December 17, 2023 20:25 - 54 minutes - 25.1 MB

How is a person saved? Why would a person be baptized in water? What are “things of this world”? Where do we read that God will never forsake us? Is it a sin not to keep the Law? What about behavior passages in the New Testament?  I try to praise God but often fall short. What should I do? My best friend died, and I didn’t get a chance to say goodbye.

December 17, 2023 17:44 - 31 minutes - 14.6 MB

In just a few short days, we’ll be celebrating Christmas, so I want to share with you my latest message titled “The Man, Christ Jesus.” Did you know Jesus is still human today? Yes, resurrection human, but human nonetheless! Jesus could have given up His humanity after His resurrection? But He didn’t!

December 15, 2023 01:36 - 25 minutes - 11.9 MB

Should we be sure to gather with other believers? What role does leadership play? Does living better produce answered prayer requests? Can I pray another person toward salvation? Wasn’t water baptism preached in the early church? How do we understand Acts 8 and 10? I heard a preacher say if I don’t forgive other people, I’m not really saved or not saved anymore. Could this be true?

December 12, 2023 01:51 - 25 minutes - 11.9 MB

When it comes to tithing, what about Cain and Abel? And what about Melchizedek? And what about Ananias and Sapphira? Does God show extra favor to those who give sacrificially? Why does Paul describe himself as using craftiness or trickery in 2 Corinthians 12? What are your thoughts on “hypergrace”? Does your theology address how to receive and maintain God’s promises?

12.10.2023 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

December 10, 2023 20:43 - 54 minutes - 25.1 MB

Why did Corinthian women need to cover their heads? Do unbelievers also have “eternal life” in Hell? I disagree with you: Tithing is for today! Also, if everyone stopped tithing, how would our churches survive? Was Jesus born in Adam? Was Jesus really born on December 25?

Have you ever wondered what it means to grieve or quench the Holy Spirit? Or why it’s important to know that being filled with the Spirit is not about getting more of Him?
