The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

What does it mean to be filled with the Spirit? What does it mean to be led by the Spirit? How do we define sin without the Law? Does Matthew 6:15 contradict total forgiveness?

What is the new covenant? My son was addicted to opioids and passed away. Thank you for the assurance your ministry has given me about him. What are your thoughts on water baptism, immersion and sprinkling?

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?

Can we lose our faith when we sin? Does Jesus know when He is coming back? What is the narrow gate that leads to life? What is the wide gate that leads to destruction? How do I reconcile contradictions in Jesus' teachings? What is the meaning of 1 Corinthians 10:12?

How does God’s promise to Himself secure our salvation? Is the idea of in-and-out-of-fellowship double talk? It gets hard when you’re praying for stuff and nothing seems to be changing. What are your thoughts? Are we to keep the greatest commandment in the Law? What’s the difference between the soul and the spirit?

“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 closeness to God. But in this message, I demonstrate how knowing what happened to you at salvation can transform your entire outlook on closeness with God.

Get ready to be boosted into a remarkable new confidence that comes from knowing your perfect and unbreakable union with Jesus.

Discussion Questions:

1. How does Andrew’s example of the corpse on the roadside help clarify our original condition?
2. What is the definition of “eternal” and why does it matter?
3. Why did Andrew mention Michael Phelps? Did it give you a vivid picture of the life given to you?
4. React to this statement: We should hunger and thirst for more of God. Is this true or false? Discuss.
5. The secret formula for Coca Cola was eventually revealed. How does this relate to the Gospel?
6. According to Andrew’s analogy, how is behavior like clothing?

Where can I send people for follow-up to learn more about God's grace? Are all sins forgiven? Are there any exceptions? How does the new heart play into sexuality? What is the "abomination of desolation"? What time period is Matthew 24 talking about?

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? My Sunday school teacher says we believers are not under the Ten Commandments. Is he right?

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?

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?
