Who are the thieves (plural) that "steal, kill, and destroy" in John 10? What is antinomianism? Is the idea of "hypergrace" in the Bible? What is licentiousness? My church teaches Calvinism. Should I go elsewhere?

10.10.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

What does the Bible say about cremation? How would it work with our resurrected bodies? Why did Jesus say, "I did not come to abolish the Law"? Our church believes we have to give to receive from God. Is that biblical? Why was the high priest the only one allowed to enter the Holy of Holies?

10.09.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

How do I overcome fornication with my ex-husband? I'm frustrated that freedom in Christ is not taught everywhere! How is the Gospel not fear-based or performance-driven? Do you think Peter killed Ananias and Sapphira? How do I find a body of believers that will accept me as a forgiven person? I struggle every day with the evil in the world. What can I do?

News Flash! – Part 3

“You need to pay attention to this Gospel and not let your focus drift away toward dead religion!” This is the warning in Hebrews 2. Think about it: Their forefathers failed to listen to Moses, and remember what happened to those lawbreakers. Ouch! How much more important is it now to respond to the message of Jesus as Messiah and not neglect salvation! Jesus did a great work on that cross, satisfying God forever, and now everyone is offered the opportunity to look to Him. He will make y...

10.05.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

I’m concerned that I might be a Christian, but not have the Holy Spirit. Why didn’t those in Acts 8 have the Spirit if they’d been baptized? Have I missed something? My pastor says divorce and remarriage make me an adulterer and this keeps me from Heaven. Is this true?

10.04.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

What is a grace-based approach to doing a wedding? How do we live out the message of Christ in us? Is the Romans 7 struggle a description of pre-conversion Saul or post-conversion Paul?

10.02.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

How is the West Texas location doing with your move to Dallas? What role does the Holy Spirit play in our union with Christ? Is tongues the evidence of true salvation? What role does water baptism play? How can I teach from Hosea and then apply it to New Testament believers? Is sin management the goal of the Christian life? If not, then what is? I know we can’t lose our salvation, but can we forfeit it?

News Flash! – Part 2

God used to speak in a variety of ways in the Old Testament, but now He has spoken to us strongly and clearly through His Son. So, if you’ve ever wondered what God feels about you, look to Jesus – His death, His resurrection, and His place at the right hand of God. He has fully dealt with your sins, and He loves you! In this message on Hebrews 1, you’ll learn why Jesus is announced as greater than the angels and what this means for your newfound freedom in Christ. Discussion questions:...

Do we word-curse ourselves by speaking negatively? Where does the new heart fit in with spirit, soul, and body?

09.28.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

What is the book of Hebrews about? How does God speak to us today? I need you to confirm my dream or vision that I will have neuroscience technology implanted in me. My son had an affair and has now moved in with someone else. Should I still go see him and the grandkids? How should we interpret Mark 16 that says signs and wonders will follow those who believe?

09.27.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

How should we interpret God's warnings in the first three chapters of Revelation? Why don't we see all churches in the same area come together and worship?

09.26.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Can an unbeliever truly love if love is a fruit of the Spirit? If God never changes, how can we have a new kind of relationship with Him today (versus the Old Testament)? My boyfriend is just recovering from a drug addiction. Should I proceed with the relationship? Is it okay for believers to be involved in politics? When does it become a distraction from the core message of Christianity?

09.25.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Does water baptism qualify a Christian for a deeper level of discipleship? Where does it say the Law was brought in by angels? Why does this matter? Did Moses really have the glory of God reflecting off his face? How do we live from the right motivation? Will we be able to see people in Hell once we are in Heaven? When exactly does a person become born again? Who are the 144,000 people in Revelation?

News Flash! – Part 1

Two covenants. Two priesthoods. Two ways to relate to God. Hebrews is a book of powerful contrasts, and I’m so excited to begin this series with you. If you’ve never studied Hebrews before (or if it’s been a while!), this is a great way to start. It’s a quick overview of the entire letter right here in a single message. I’ve never done it this way before, but so many have reported it helped them understand Hebrews better than ever. Here, you’ll discover the radical difference between law...

09.23.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Why did Jesus say that people who look back or not fit for the kingdom of God? Does Matthew 16 contradict salvation by grace? How did the things that Jesus did get recorded in the Bible? My niece has decided she wants to be a man. How should I react to this?

09.21.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Does God ever get angry or frustrated with believers? I suffer from mental illness, and I wonder every day why God won't heal me. I also suffer from loneliness. What can I do?

09.20.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

How did the bride prepare herself in Revelation 19:7? I had an affair with an evangelist, fasted naked for seven days, and then was told I had to worship a demon. Any chance I can still go to heaven? After learning about God's grace, I'm now not sure what service looks like and what church should be. Can you clarify?

What do the two debtors represent in Luke 7? Did people in the Old Testament have a new heart? How do we talk with Mormons about the gospel? Have I fallen out of God’s grace? Do we have to wait for heaven after we die? Do we have to wait for the new Earth? What can I do in the face of a tough decision? Why do so many people resist the message of God’s grace? How can I answer their questions?

God Says – Part 6

The cross is the true dividing line of human history. Through His death, Jesus ushered in a new and liberating way of grace. The old way of the Law is now obsolete, and we believers have died to the Law. This means we are free, and God wants us to know the freedom He purchased for us through Christ. In this final part of the series, “God Says,” I argue passionately for our freedom from rule-based religion and explain why it’s so important that we stand firm in God’s grace. Discussion Que...

09.16.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

How do I find a grace church? How can I better share the message of God's grace with others? I'm constantly praying for circumstances to be removed, yet I don't feel peace about it. How should I interpret this? What does "kicking against the goads" mean?

09.13.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

I'm struggling with wanting to make a purchase but wanting to be careful. How are the New Testament directives any different from the Law? Why do you teach that we don't really have "free will" when obviously we make decisions every day?

What are your thoughts? Are we to keep the greatest commandment in the Law? What’s the difference between the soul and the spirit?

God Says – Part 5

“Here’s how you can get closer to God…” We hear this all the time, but this well-intentioned sales pitch assumes we aren’t close to God right now. It assumes there’s work yet to be done to get us closer. But what if you’re united with Christ and as close to God as you can possibly be here and now? What if the closeness you’ve been seeking is absolutely free, because it cost Jesus everything? You may have been told your entire Christian life that you need to hunger and thirst for closen...

09.09.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Is there a second blessing or second baptism after salvation? What did Jesus mean by a "narrow gate" that leads to eternal life? My Sunday school teacher says we believers are not under the Ten Commandments. Is he right?

09.07.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

How do you deal with people who take your words out of context? What is the "good confession" in 1 Timothy 6:12-13? Did Jesus go to Hell for three days or not?

09.06.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Are Christians only forgiven if we forgive others first? How should we view the Sermon on the Mount now that we are under grace? I am addicted to pornography, and I feel like I'm a lazy person. How can I find victory?

What are your thoughts on my husband stealing money from me and the children? I’m having trouble with my daughter who doesn’t believe cursing is bad and wants a tattoo. Am I being too strict? Do the Apocrypha or Didache have any importance to us? Do Christians need to “continue” in order to stay saved? How can we share the...

God Says – Part 4

A lot happened through the Cross: The Law was fulfilled, and forgiveness was provided. But there’s even more: You died with Jesus. This is how you were made new. Think about it: You can’t really be born again without the old dying first, right?   This is precisely why we don’t have to worry about “dying to self,” as so many claim. We don’t have to die to self because we’re the new self. Why seek to destroy what God has rebuilt?   Still, we face the logical question: If I’m so new, th...

09.02.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Am I beyond repentance? Why do I no longer feel the presence of the Holy Spirit? Does James 5:9 mean believers are judged by God for their sins?

09.01.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Does God need to "break" us in order to use us? How do we help those who are grieving? Do believers need to tithe 10%? How did those described in Matthew 7 do miracles if they weren't true believers? How can we be held accountable for not believing if only some people are chosen anyway?

08.29.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Can those who miss the return of Christ still be saved later? Is water baptism necessary for salvation? When we sin, do we move out from under God's protection? How does Romans 8:30 play into predestination? Why did Paul engage in purification rituals in Acts 21? What role does obedience play in salvation? Did Jesus spend three days in Hell? Why don't more preachers share the finished work of Christ?

God Says – Part 3

We believers often wonder: Can I lose my salvation? Can I mess this up? What if I keep on struggling? What if I wake up one day and stop believing or stop loving God? These questions can weigh us down or even nag at us daily. In this message, I share the truth about how safe and secure we really are in Jesus. Ultimately, it’s about deciding whether our God is a truth-teller or a liar. That’s right – it really comes down to the character of God. Why? Because in Scripture, we see so many pro...

08.26.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Should we celebrate Christmas if it has pagan roots? If so, how and when? My wife and I are married and have a child. Our relationship is growing toxic, and I’m thinking of divorce. What is your advice? How do we interpret the Matthew 25 parable about the virgins and the oil?

08.25.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Do we face judgment immediately after dying? What happens at the final judgment? I thought I was already saved, but then I had an experience that made me believe I got saved again. And then all those feelings were lost. Now I'm just confused. Have I committed the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit? Can you help?

08.24.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Does God work all things together for good? What does that really mean? Why do so many say that we are justified but not sanctified yet? What is a grace perspective on fasting?

08.23.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Why do Catholic priests wear robes? Why does John write that we need to abide in Christ to not shrink back at His return? I feel like I've had two salvation experiences. When was I actually saved? How were people in the Old Testament made right before God?
