The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Can politics be a distraction for the believer? What’s the solution? Is there one best translation or version of the Bible? What are your thoughts on eschatology? What is the meaning of Galatians 5 concerning those who practice sin not inheriting the kingdom? If I am divorced, can I get remarried?

Did I commit the unforgivable sin? My friend’s wife left him. How can I be helpful to him? Did some people believe the message but receive the Spirit later in Acts 8? Is there any record of how Mary, the mother of Jesus, died or went to heaven?

My wife has fallen into addiction, and it’s unsafe for the children. I’m wondering where to go from here. Why did Jesus tell the disciples about mansions in heaven? Is the Old Testament law written on believers’ hearts? Should we be using 2 Chronicles 7:14 to explain tragedy and motivate Christians?

What do you think of the Christian film “God’s Not Dead”? Why did Jesus say to ask God not to lead us into temptation? What does it mean to work out your salvation with fear and trembling? Should I learn to pray in tongues?

What does the mustard seed metaphor mean in Matthew 13? Does God ever give up on us? How should we interpret Jesus’ conversation with the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15? Did He like her persistence? Can women speak in church and serve in leadership?

Does John 20:23 mean humans (priests, for example) can declare other people forgiven or not? Is Calvinism true? Can women speak or even preach in church? Is it important to know exactly when you were saved? Is it okay to have doubts? What if your feelings are all over the place? I struggle with sexual sin, so will I not be able to go to heaven? How do we interpret Galatians and 1 Corinthians when they say those who practice such things won't enter heaven?

We all want to experience the love of God, but sometimes it feels out of reach. We survey our emotions or face difficult circumstances, and when we don’t feel His love, we get discouraged.

The familiar religious message is maybe we don’t love Him – or our neighbors – enough. Jesus said to love everyone perfectly all the time, including God Himself. But how is that even possible?

In this message, I share how we find our hope and confidence in God’s love. There’s no guilt, no fear, no shame. His love has been poured out in us and powers our life!

As new covenant believers, how should we read the Psalms and interpret the words of David concerning the Law? What are your thoughts on “claiming the blood” or “pleading the blood”? I’m confused about the Old Testament permitting divorce in some cases and the New Testament appearing to be more strict. And what about remarriage?

Why did Jesus tell Mary Magdalene not to hang on to him? Is there a discrepancy between the Old Testament and the New Testament concerning the details of the tabernacle? Is water baptism still relevant to life in Christ today? Is suicide an unforgivable sin? Can it ever be part of God’s plan?

What do you think about those who prophesy about politics? Are they legitimate? What is the difference between Israel and Judah? Who is the new covenant actually for? I know Jesus will never leave us, but can we leave Him? Are there many ways to heaven outside of Jesus? What about people who never hear His name?
