The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

I was arrested and now nobody at my church will talk to me. I've lost my family, my friends, and everything! What can I do? I had a long-term affair, and now I struggle with the memories of it. What can I do?

1. Read John 16:13-14. Whom is the Holy Spirit hearing from? About what? Why is this important?
2. Read John 16:15. What are the 'all things" the Holy Spirit is disclosing to you?
3. Read John 17:20. How do we know this prayer is not just for Jesus' disciples?
4. Read John 17:21. What does it mean to you to be "one"? And to be "in Us"? How does this truth compare to popular messages about our closeness to God?
5. Read John 17:22. React to this statement: Jesus has given me His glory.
6. Read John 17:22. First, how close is Jesus to the Father? Now, what does this verse say about you?
7. Read John 17:23. What is Jesus' testimony here concerning how loved you are? What does it mean to you to hear this from Jesus Himself?
8. Read John 17:24. React to this statement: I'm a gift from the Father to Jesus.
9. Read John 17:24. In what way has this prayer request been fulfilled? (Hint: Consider Ephesians 2:6 in your answer.)

Why does the deity of Christ matter so much? How does union with Christ change our whole perspective? Can you talk about grace for salvation and grace after salvation? What does it mean to be complete in Christ? What is the gift of tongues? Are there two types of tongues?

Do the blessings and curses in Numbers 24 apply to us today? Is the Covid vaccine the Mark of the Beast? I've been talking to Jehovah's Witnesses, and now I'm confused. My best friend is trying to convince me to become Catholic.

How can we be "faithless" (2 Timothy 2:13) and still be saved? Is "once saved, always saved" actually true? Isn't salvation a contract? Do we have to keep up our end? Or are we really safe no matter what?

Will there be a third temple ushering in the end times? I pray all the time, trying to give God my anxiety, but I still feel stressed. Am I not trusting Him? Why didn't Adam just ask God to forgive him? Who was Melchizedek? Why is he important today?

Which of your books is best as an introduction to the message of grace? So many people love to debate theology, but how should I approach people with this message? What should we say to those who complain that we only talk about grace? Would you share your thoughts on being complete in Christ?

I was saved in 1984, but didn't hear about living under God's grace until the last six months. How did I get this far? I constantly feel like I need to love God more. And I wonder if my love for Him is "sincere" (Ephesians 6:24)! I was saved at a young age and sometimes doubt it was genuine. Maybe I only did it out of fear?

What does Jesus say about the Holy Spirit in John 14? I love this ministry! What is the best focus for any church or ministry? Are women everywhere really supposed to remain silent in church? Where do we see "identity in Christ" clearly taught in the New Testament?

What if the Christian life isn't about trying harder, producing more, or proving yourself to God? Jesus promised something far better: His life in you, forever. Discover the freedom of the new covenant, the security of knowing you'll never be abandoned, and the joy of bearing genuine spiritual fruit without religious striving. You don't need to manufacture growth or fake your fruit. Jesus is your life, and He knows how to live it through you!

1. Read John 14:16. How does this verse speak to eternal security?
2. Read John 14:17. What's the difference between "with" and "in" here? Why does this matter so much?
3. Read John 14:19. What does it mean to "see" Jesus here? How does this verse also speak to eternal security and assurance of salvation?
4. Read John 15:2. Why does "lift up" seem to make more sense here?
5. Read John 15:4. What does "abide" mean here? How is this passage evangelistic in nature? How has it often been misinterpreted?
6. Read John 15:5. React to this statement: Apart from Jesus, you can do nothing.
