The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Do we have to do something to maintain the presence of God in our lives? What does the throne of God look like? Why did God not tell Jacob His name? What is the gift of tongues?

What does it mean to give thanks in all circumstances? Have you ever had unanswered prayer? I did not come to the Lord until I had cancer. Does God still want me? Or is that having your cake and eating it too?

When Jesus cast the demons into the pigs, what happened to the demons? How should we view sexual immorality and sexual identity from a grace perspective? Does everyone being born spiritually dead in Adam factor in?

Is God ever displeased with a Christian? Or is He only displeased with their actions? What does it mean that “the Lord is the avenger” (1 Thessalonians 4)? How do I talk with my wife about a healing ministry that may be inauthentic?

Is our nation going to Hell because the Ten Commandments are no longer in schools? If we’re totally forgiven of all our sins, then are we held accountable for our sins as so many claim? Are we already living in the end times?

Do the Ten Commandments apply to the believer? What am I supposed to do to be led by the Spirit? Someone taught me that we shouldn’t act too familiar with God because it’s disrespectful. Is this true? If you can recognize your relatives in Heaven, won’t you miss the ones that didn’t make it? How do I take a “free fall” into trusting Jesus? The concept eludes me as I wonder what to do.

Hebrews 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. You’ll also see how it puts all of us on an equal playing field – with no favoritism.

What if you’re permanently clean before God? What if you’re perfectly close to Him too? And what if you already know God well at a heart level?

Yes, the New Covenant is really this good. So, let’s abandon the obsolete way of dead religion and embrace God’s grace!

Discussion Questions:

1. What is the “true tabernacle”?
2. Why is the new covenant a “more excellent ministry” and a “better covenant”?
3. Where did the “fault” lie under the old covenant?
4. React to this statement: It’s new for Israel, but it’s our one and only.
5. How is the new covenant a “download” and a “deletion”?
6. In what sense does every believer intuitively know the Lord? How does this relate to our learning and growing?
7. Think of something obsolete that is no longer available or on the market. Why did it go away? How does this parallel the old and new covenants?

What does it mean to overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony? My friend tells me I’m not keeping the Lord’s Day holy. Am I required to keep the Sabbath?

How is the peace that Jesus gives different from worldly peace? What does the Holy Spirit think when a believer gets distracted by New Age or pagan practices? My daughter was raised as a Christian, but now says she is an atheist. Is there a chance she is saved?

Will the Holy Spirit ever leave me? My wife left me, and I'm wondering if I'm allowed to remarry. Am I? Have the seals in Revelation already been opened? How should we view the book of Revelation?
