The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Moses talked with God face to face, yet no one has ever seen God? How do we reconcile that? Someone told me everything in the Book of Revelation has already happened! Is that true? A pastor was teaching on Jesus turning over tables in the Temple, and he said it's about God wanting to clean up our lives so we can stay in fellowship with Him. Is that what Jesus meant?

Why does Paul say the only thing that counts is keeping God's commands (1 Corinthians 7:19)? I haven't prayed or gone to church in months. Where is my desire? Was I not saved in the right way? I'm having trouble with loving the Lord with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength. Can you help me? My dad has a smoking habit. Will it keep him from going to heaven?

This message reframes 1 Corinthians 13 as a revelation, not a requirement. Andrew dismantles the common "love checklist" approach and shows that the passage is not a performance review for believers but a portrait of Christ Himself. The focus shifts from self-improvement to identity—Christ as our life, our love, and our source of forgiveness. The big idea: 1 Corinthians 13 reveals who Jesus is in us, silencing fear and ending scorekeeping.

1. How do you think most people traditionally interpret 1 Corinthians 13?
2. React to this statement: 1 Corinthians 13 is a revelation of God's love for you.
3. Read verses 1-3. Why is love better than other spiritual gifts? Explain.
4. Read verses 4-7 with the word "God" in place of "love." What does this do for your view of Him?
5. React to this statement: God's love is what lasts; everything else is on a timer.
6. Read verse 12. What do we see dimly right now? What do you look forward to most when you will see with clarity?
7. What is the one big thing you learned from this message?

My wife wants a divorce because of our financial troubles. What are your thoughts? And when will Jesus return? I believe I'm being stalked by a cult. Can you help?

How should we view the many flood stories worldwide in so many different cultures? My friend has embraced an alternative lifestyle. He now wants to lead a Bible study teaching affirming theology. What should I do? Some say we're forgiven positionally but still need daily forgiveness. Is this true? What about 1 John 1:9?

Why do we hear so much preaching about health, wealth, and prosperity? How important is church attendance and reading the Bible? Which is better for kids: public school or private school? Is being "lukewarm" really about not doing enough witnessing or Bible study or church?

If we really have new hearts in Christ, then why do we still continue to sin? What is the difference between agape love and phileo love?

My friend was in the military and experienced a failed mission years ago. He now suffers from PTSD and tremendous guilt. Can you offer any help to him? What does it really mean to offer your body as a "living sacrifice" to God (Romans 12:1)? And how is it worship?

A person is being consistently critical of my children. How should I approach this situation? What is the main thing God wants us to know and do in the Christian life? You inspired me to share Christ with someone! Who was Ishmael? Who were his descendants? What's the big takeaway? What is the doctrine of Balaam that believers are warned about in Revelation 2? What are your thoughts on finding God's will for your life? How can I know that I'm praying (and living) with the right motives?

Fear feeds on chaos. When you're unsure where you stand with God—when the message is mixed, blurry, or conditional—fear moves right in and makes itself at home. Fear needs uncertainty to survive.

That's why the Gospel is the remedy for fear. In this message, I talk about how the clarity of what Jesus finished silences the fear.

If you've been living in spiritual fog instead of confidence… If fear has been whispering because clarity has been missing… This message will reset everything for you.

1. React to this statement: We love because He first loved us.
2. Read Romans 5:9. How does being justified by God spell "love" for us?
3. Read Romans 5:10. How does being reconciled by God spell "love" for us?
4. Read Ephesians 3:16-19. What is the power for? Why do we need it?
5. Read Ephesians 3:20. What do you think the "far beyond" is here in context? Why?
6. React to this statement: You have an incorruptible love for Jesus Christ.
7. What is the biggest takeaway for you from this message?
