In our final message, we tackle Lordship salvation, the true meaning of “By His wounds we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5), if we’re immediately in Heaven after death, and the real message behind the powerful truth “I can do all things through Christ” (Philippians 4:13).

“I’ve repeatedly failed God!”

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? God asked me to be obedient as a teenager, yet I repeatedly failed Him. Could it be that I’m not really saved anymore because of my broken promises?

What is the “harvest of righteousness”?

January 12, 2024 01:55 - 25 minutes - 11.9 MB

What are your thoughts on preterism? Does God guarantee increase in our income if we give to the gospel? What is “the power working within us” in Ephesians 3? Should we just go out and sin so that grace shines more brightly?

“Who falls away from the faith?”

January 11, 2024 01:45 - 25 minutes - 11.9 MB

Who falls away in 1 Timothy 4:1? What is required to be saved? Is the “hypergrace” accusation a valid critique? Could you really commit sin every day and still be saved?

“You leave out a few things!”

January 10, 2024 01:52 - 25 minutes - 11.9 MB

Is it sinful to try to get rich? Why did Paul quote the Law in Ephesians 6 if we are not under the Law? You seem to leave out a few important things about the Law!

“I have a hard time praying”

January 09, 2024 01:43 - 25 minutes - 11.9 MB

What happens if we go on sinning? What is Paul really trying to say in Romans 10 about “ascending“ and “descending”? I have a hard time praying and can’t stay focused. I feel distant from God. Can you help me?

“Righteous by Birth, Not Behavior”

January 07, 2024 20:23 - 54 minutes - 25.1 MB

I’m a horrible person and I hate myself. What can I do about this? Am I allowed to have opinions about Israel’s actions or is that offensive to God? How do the issues of vengeance and judgment actually work with God? Have you noticed that we are so behavior-focused within Christianity? I have forgiven my abusive family, but they say I need to stick around for more abuse. What should I do? Why did Lot offer his daughters to be used in immorality?

101 Bible Questions – Part 10

January 07, 2024 17:38 - 37 minutes - 17.4 MB

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? I’m looking for a Bible-believing church in my area. How can I find fellowship? Does fasting change our posture or widen our pipeline to God? 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? What is the true and biblical view of predestination?

New Year, Same You!

December 31, 2023 17:27 - 32 minutes - 15.4 MB

People talk about a ‘new year, new you,’ and how to be a different, better version of yourself. But what if you don’t need a new you? That’s the truth about you! In my New Year’s message, “New Year, Same You!” I unpack ten reasons you can celebrate the newness you’ve already received through God’s grace. You’ll hear liberating truths about new ways to think and serve, the new commandment on your heart, and your newfound freedom from the burdensome weight of legalistic rule-keeping. Scrip...

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 does it not become a “shoulda, woulda, coulda” scenario? I’m questioning why God is allowing so many negative circumstances in my life. Can you help? How exactly does God’s Spirit testify to us that we’re His children?

December 28, 2023 01:35 - 25 minutes - 11.9 MB

How do you respond to someone who says we believers are under the Law concerning tithing? Can Christians can lose their salvation if they are sealed with the Holy Spirit? One of my family members is acting bizarrely, and I wonder how “making it right with your brother” relates to my situation?

12.26.2023 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

December 27, 2023 01:39 - 25 minutes - 11.9 MB

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)?

Light in the Darkness

December 25, 2023 01:51 - 28 minutes - 13.4 MB

Is it okay to study philosophy? Do we each receive different amounts of rewards in Heaven? What Scriptures can I use to fight the enemy and have God intercede to get my husband back? 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 19, 2023 01:50 - 25 minutes - 11.9 MB

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?

12.17.2023 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

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!

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?

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?

In my latest message, I tackle thought-provoking questions that often go unanswered in church. We’ll explore topics like obedience under God’s grace, trying to become “more like Christ,” measuring closeness to God, and discerning His will for your life.
