Why does James bring up God's will about tomorrow if we don't have to find and stay in God's will? Was Pentecost a salvation event or something else? Is there a second blessing or second baptism after salvation? What did Jesus mean by a "narrow gate" that leads to eternal life?

How can finding the will of God and trying to stay in it be a works-righteousness? Is God judging the world right now? Is it possible to be under physical attack by Satan? 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

08.29.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Teaching Edition: Is 1 John 1:9 a "bar of soap" for daily cleansing? What is the true meaning of this important passage? How can we more fully celebrate the finished work of Christ?

08.28.2022 - 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...

08.24.2022 - 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?

What are the commands on our new hearts? How do I fight against the fiery darts of the enemy's accusation? How should we look at growing and learning in light of God's grace?

God Says – Part 2

Many Christians view forgiveness from an old covenant mindset. They believe God requires ongoing rituals or words of confession for us to sustain our forgiveness and avoid judgment. But thanks to the shed blood of Jesus, believers are under a new covenant, and our forgiveness is not progressive. In this message, you’ll learn what God says about your once-for-all forgiveness and why you will never be more forgiven than you already are today! Discussion Questions: 1. What’s the differenc...

Is Eastern meditation okay for Christians? Are there levels in Heaven? Should we give according to the Old Testament tithe or is the New Testament way different? Don't we need to acknowledge our sins?

Should a pastor expose the personal struggles of others during a church service? Is the Sabbath on Saturday or Sunday? Do we need to keep the Sabbath? I've struggled greatly throughout my life, but I still think I'm saved. However, some insinuate I've had a false conversion. What are your thoughts?

08.15.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Does the Holy Spirit help a believer keep the Law? I heard that I need to hate my family and put everything on the altar in order to be truly saved. Is this true? Where can I find trusted resources to help me interpret difficult passages of Scripture?

What does it mean that Christ lives in me and that I am complete in Him? What does it mean to be seated with Christ in Heaven? I’ve been struggling with pornography, and I feel horrible. Am I still saved? I have a friend who says he’s saved, but there are no real signs. What are your thoughts? What role does obedience play in the Christian life? Do I need to quit my job to attend church? Can we actually be sure we are saved?

God Says – Part 1

How do we know what God is saying to us? Religion will tell us God needs us to do more, try harder, and hope that through self-improvement, He will finally accept us. But through the New Covenant, God is proclaiming radical, powerful truths about your forgiveness, security, and new identity. In this message, you’ll see the Christian life is not about what you’re doing but what He’s already done. Celebrate these essential promises of the Gospel – truths we proclaim at our new church campu...

08.10.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

What is the meaning of the Parable of the Ten Virgins? What is your response to those who are concerned about "hypergrace"? Are we really seated in heavenly places right now? Literally? Why does Jesus teach in John 14 that we can ask for anything in His name?

08.09.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Can you talk about the free gift of salvation? Why does 1 John say that whoever practices sin is of the Devil? If everyone is reading the same Bible, why do so many fail to see God's grace?

I was experiencing an abundant life but then got discouraged. I’m wondering what to do now? I have been divorced several times, and I am now remarried. Is it adultery?

Crave – The Father’s Discipline

Discipline isn’t usually an attractive topic. Many of us have negative memories of being disciplined as a child and we therefore view discipline as something undesirable. When we think of God’s discipline, maybe we fear it’s His reprimand of our sinful performance. And those of us living under grace may wonder where discipline fits into the Christian life. In this message from Hebrews 12, I share a fresh perspective on God’s discipline and why we can view it as training for the future, n...

08.05.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

08.04.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Is the sin “crouching at the door” in Genesis 4 the same sin that Paul speaks of in Romans 7? Do we believers ever stop sinning before Heaven? Is it required that everyone get married? Is it okay to be single? Do you think the story about Jonah being swallowed by the whale actually happened? My pastor accused me of not having integrity, and later he and the other leaders denied it. What should I do? Thank you for sharing this message of God's grace! What are your thoughts on those who call i...

08.03.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

What is the Parable of the Ten Minas in Luke 19 really about? Can you speak to the union we have with Christ as expressed in John 17? It is so beautiful!

The Tale of Two Ministries

The most popular message on the planet is the way of religion. It’s about rule-keeping, self-improvement, and trying to impress God in hopes of avoiding judgment. While not as popular, there’s another way of relating to God. The way of grace is Jesus Christ in you, dependence on Him, and walking in confidence that you’re forgiven, righteous, and qualified.  In this message from 2 Corinthians 3, we’ll compare these two approaches to life and learn it’s not about what you do but what God d...

07.26.2022 - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Is there anything wrong with Catholicism? I am living in constant guilt over cheating on my wife. She filed for divorce a year ago. What can I do? Why does God give people over in their unbelief? How should we view this? Should we be monitoring how much spiritual fruit we are bearing?

The Truth About the Sabbath

God rested on the seventh day of creation and ordained a Sabbath day of rest for the people of Israel. And while Jesus brought in a new attitude and perspective on keeping the Sabbath, many still teach there’s a physical or spiritual rest we need to pursue.   In this message from Hebrews 4, we’ll see that rest for New Covenant believers isn’t about a day of the week or seeking a new spiritual experience. We don’t need to try to enter God’s rest because we’re already “in”! So take a deep ...
