The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Special Teaching Edition: What is humanity’s core problem? How does God solve it for us? What exactly happens at salvation? What are the practical implications when we’re tempted? How does the average Gospel presentation fall short? What’s the solution?

Why does Revelation 18 say “the light of your lamp will not shine anymore”? Does God stop listening to our prayers when we sin? Why did God bring in the old covenant if He knew the ultimate answer would be the new covenant?

Can you walk away from the faith and no longer abide in Christ? Didn’t Jesus teach that we should keep the Sabbath? Were the angels at Jesus’s tomb a fulfillment of the angels that were on the ark of the covenant?

What does Romans 12 mean about proving the will of God? How do I explain the true meaning of water baptism to my brother who thinks it saves him? God knows what we need before we ask? What if someone’s behavior doesn’t show signs of new life? Could they still be saved?

Are we guaranteed physical healing because of the cross? How can we share the gospel as an “elevator pitch”? 1 Corinthians 14 contains two challenging verses (v.2 and v.4). How do you explain those if there is no private prayer language? Should I expect to hear the gospel regularly in church? Why do you think so many teach the New Testament “warning passages” in a way that scares believers?

Get ready for answers to pressing questions in our “101 Bible Questions” series. 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).

Prepare for a transformative experience as we challenge your perspective, strengthen your faith, and transform your beliefs. Discover the freedom that comes from shedding doubt, disappointment, and religious expectations, and embrace your permanent union with Christ no matter what circumstances you face.

Don’t miss out on these life-changing truths that will inspire you to walk in the fullness of your identity in Christ!

Discussion Questions for “101 Bible Questions” – True & False Beliefs:

1. How might the false teaching of “Lordship salvation” erode one’s assurance and foster pride in another?
2. Why is understanding the true context and meaning of Isaiah 53:5 important? (Hint: Relate it to circumstances, expectations, and disappointment with God.)
3. React to this statement: Everyone who teaches “guaranteed healing” through the Cross ends up dying like the rest of us!
4. Why is it important for so many to know that we are with God right away after death? How does our union with Christ factor into this concept?
5. What is Philippians 4:13 really about? How is the truth of this passage different from (sometimes, even the opposite of!) how the passage is commonly used?

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 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 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?

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!
