The New and Better Way
January 01, 2023 17:07 - 35 minutes - 16.6 MBDid you know we Christians are only qualified to share one spiritual message about having relationship with God? And it’s not the message of self-improvement. It’s the new covenant message of God’s grace! That’s right, the new covenant is all we are qualified to share with others. And when we focus on the new covenant, it leads to all kinds of confidence and boldness. This is exactly what Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 3. We just started a new year. As new creations, isn’t it time we foc...

December 31, 2022 01:47 - 24 minutes - 11.8 MBWhat does it mean to be born or made in God's image? To what degree was that image lost at the Fall? Why does Romans 14:12 say we will "give an account" if our sins are taken away forever? When did the New Testament era really begin? Another Bible teacher claims we must be baptized to be saved. Is this true?
12.29.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
December 30, 2022 01:45 - 24 minutes - 11.8 MBDoes Galatians 2:20 say it's faith "in" Jesus or the faith "of" Jesus? How do I share the Gospel with unbelievers in an organic way? I've had panic attacks and wonder if it's because of my sins. How is God's discipline different from punishment? I haven't heard God's voice lately, and it concerns me. Should I be worried?
12.28.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
December 29, 2022 01:46 - 24 minutes - 11.8 MBHow is my human spirit different from the Holy Spirit within me? Do I need to "die to self" or get out of God's way? The real Gospel message is easy and light, and it's worth celebrating. What does the Parable of the Mustard Seed mean?
12.27.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
December 28, 2022 01:44 - 24 minutes - 11.8 MBWill I be judged more harshly by God because I served as a pastor? If we are born spiritually dead, then what exactly dies with Christ at salvation? After all, why would a dead spirit need to die? Has the gift of healing gone away? Should we still pray for people's healing?
12.26.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
December 27, 2022 01:47 - 24 minutes - 11.8 MBIsn't there really just one person in the Trinity- Jesus? Wasn't Jesus just praying to Himself? How do we explain someone who said they were a believer but now lives in a sexually sinful lifestyle? Where do we see God referring to Himself in the plural? Isn't this further evidence of the Trinity?
12.25.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
December 26, 2022 02:56 - 55 minutes - 25.6 MBDo you think there are seasons when we sin more than others? My pastor keeps insisting that I ask myself if I'm saved. Is this healthy? Did God make Caesar Augustus issue the decree for a census, or did God just know it would happen? Why do Christians celebrate Christmas on December 25 when they know Jesus wasn't born then? What about people who've never heard the Gospel? Why does 1 John 2 say that we need no one to teach us? Is there a second chance to believe the Gospel after death? How sh...
The Gift of Jesus
December 25, 2022 17:40 - 29 minutes - 14.1 MBThis Christmas season – even amidst the stresses and difficulties we face – we have more to celebrate than baby Jesus in a manger. We believers have the light and life of Jesus in our hearts! But we have the treasure of Jesus in earthen vessels, and people don’t always see the One we contain. So, how does the resurrection life of Jesus get revealed in us? In this unique Christmas message, you’ll learn why bad things happen to good people and what God is doing in the middle of it all. You...
12.23.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

December 23, 2022 02:42 - 24 minutes - 11.8 MBHow exactly did Jesus forgive us for our sins? How did He not commit any sins? There is so much suffering in life, so is it even worth it to live on?
12.21.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
December 22, 2022 01:50 - 24 minutes - 11.8 MBI was a miserable Christian for 25 years. The message of God's grace has transformed my life. Why was Jesus baptized? Do we need to be baptized in water to be saved? What does the Bible say about women speaking and teaching?
12.20.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
December 21, 2022 02:45 - 24 minutes - 11.8 MBWould God withhold a spiritual gift until we repent of something from long ago? Why does 1 John 1:9 seem to say that daily confession is needed in order to be forgiven and cleansed by God? What's really going on in that passage? Why does 1 John 3:9 say that no one who is born of God practices sin? How can that be?
12.19.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
December 20, 2022 01:48 - 24 minutes - 11.8 MBWhy would God put people in the Book of Life if He is only going to take them out later? Might I be judged differently for my sin of adultery than other sins? I feel that I probably committed the unpardonable sin when I was young. What should I do?
12.18.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
December 18, 2022 20:13 - 55 minutes - 25.6 MBWhy does John 5:24 say we will not be judged if Hebrews 10:30 says the Lord will judge his people? Who is Melchizedek? Does God judge us for our past or the past of our ancestors? Are we to avoid every “sin” in the New Testament? If so, how? I lock myself in my room because I’m afraid of my father. I want to leave my home. Can you help? What do you think of passing the plate? Doesn’t this tend to pressure people to give?
News Flash! – Part 13
December 18, 2022 17:30 - 33 minutes - 15.7 MBShould we take literally the Old Testament account of God creating the world and Noah’s family surviving a flood? What about people in remote places who’ve never heard the Gospel – how can they be saved? How many people will be in Heaven – a lot or only a tiny percentage of the Earth’s population? Hebrews 11 answers these questions and so much more – such as the important role of faith and why we have something better today than any Old Testament person experienced. In this message, I ad...
12.16.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
December 17, 2022 01:02 - 24 minutes - 11.8 MBDid God choose us, or did we choose Him, or is it both? I struggle with how my relatives celebrate Christmas and wonder how I can break free from this bitterness. Can you help me? How can Hell be a justified punishment for those who don’t believe? And what does it mean that God judges the living and the dead?
12.15.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
December 16, 2022 01:34 - 24 minutes - 11.3 MBWhat do you think of praying with your spirit only? Why did Jesus tell people their sins were forgiven if He had not died yet? Is there an easy-to-read Bible that I could buy for my husband who is new to the faith? Does “the sixth month” in Luke 1 refer to Elizabeth’s pregnancy or the Jewish calendar? I am now 51 years old and have lived a life full of regrets. How do I find and fulfill my purpose now?
12.14.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
December 15, 2022 01:45 - 24 minutes - 11.8 MBIs the vine-branches passage about salvation, growth, or both? Is the doctrine of original sin Biblical? What if we adopt an old Earth perspective without any Adam? What is the test of a true believer in 2 Corinthians 13:5?
12.13.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
December 14, 2022 01:33 - 24 minutes - 11.8 MBWho are the virgins who follow the Lamb in Revelation 14? Does the money I give to ministries that send a thank-you gift still count as part of my tithe? I was abused growing up, and now I find myself attracted to abusive men. Can you help?
12.12.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

News Flash! – Part 12
December 11, 2022 17:30 - 38 minutes - 18 MB“If you go on sinning willfully, there’ll be no sacrifice left!” That’s the declaration made in Hebrews 10:26 – one of the most controversial passages in the whole Bible. In this important message, I put this challenging verse in proper context and demonstrate why we can actually have full assurance that God will never leave us and that we will never shrink back from Him. Enjoy the truth and let it set you free! Discussion Questions: Read verses 19-22. How exactly does the “new and li...
12.09.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
December 10, 2022 01:41Did God forsake Jesus or might the word “forsake“ mean something else in Matthew 27:46? I’m having health issues, and my friends tell me it is a lack of faith and too much sin in my life. Could this be true? My husband and I are wondering if we should cut our daughter out of our lives because of her immoral sexual behavior?
12.08.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
December 09, 2022 01:39 - 24 minutes - 11.8 MBWhat’s a good definition of grace? Does Psalm 139 mean nobody dies before their time? I don’t really understand why 1 John 1:9 doesn’t apply to Christians. Can you help? What does “faith without works is dead” really mean?
12.07.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
December 08, 2022 01:41 - 24 minutes - 11.8 MBCan your words or thoughts make things come to pass? What is repentance under the New Covenant? How did anyone in the Old Testament get saved since no one can keep the Law?

December 06, 2022 01:46 - 24 minutes - 11.8 MBShould we be focused on “kingdom living”? In Matthew 25, why does Jesus say “whatever you did for the least of these, you did for Me”?

December 04, 2022 20:11 - 55 minutes - 25.6 MBWhy did Paul say he was filling up what was lacking in Christ’s afflictions? I can’t seem to fulfill my calling, and it has been many years. I am now wondering if I’m even saved. Why did Jesus compare faith to a mustard seed? Do I need more faith today? How do we reconcile “the dead in Christ will rise first” with “absent from the body and present with the Lord”? How do I walk by faith and not by sight or feeling?
News Flash! – Part 11
December 04, 2022 17:00 - 39 minutes - 18.5 MBIt’s over. Jesus will never do anything new about your sins, because… the cross worked! This is the powerful message of Hebrews 10.

November 30, 2022 01:42 - 24 minutes - 11.8 MBAre Catholics right about Matthew 16:18 and Peter being the rock and first Pope upon which the church is built?

November 21, 2022 00:11 - 55 minutes - 25.6 MBDo the Ten Commandments apply to the believer? What am I supposed to do to be led by the Spirit?

News Flash! – Part 9
November 20, 2022 17:25 - 33 minutes - 15.6 MBHebrews 8 offers us the very best encapsulation of the New Covenant. Here, you’ll discover why the new way of grace is so much better.
