The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

What does it mean that all the promises are yes in Christ? I heard that you're not truly saved if you can't overcome every struggle. Is that true? If we die with unrepentant sin, are we still forgiven? Isn't it amazing that God has time for each one of us? That's the beauty of Christ in you!

Why does the book of Hebrews belong in the New Testament? Why did people in the Old Testament live so long? My wife posts about grace on social media, and some people are telling her to be quiet. Is that what 1 Timothy 2:12 is really about? I know God has forgiven me, but how do I forgive myself?

How should we view Paul's instruction about clothes and jewelry today? Can our faith grow? What's the best focus for us as believers? What does it mean to be filled with the Spirit? What about the many places in the book of Acts where people are filled and doing things?

I experience social anxiety, and now I need to get back to work in an office. What can I do? I had a dream and was continually asked, "Why do you keep going back to the cross?" What does it mean to have the life of Christ within us? Are there levels of Heaven? Levels of rewards? What about crowns? I have tithed for 10 years and have been blessed by God. I want to encourage others to do the same. Your thoughts?

They'll tell you to slow it down. Add nuance. Keep it balanced. Because if grace is that simple… it must be dangerous. But the New Testament isn't confused.

In this message, we let Scripture speak without filters, qualifiers, or religious disclaimers. Christ ended the old covenant. The old way was set aside. The wall came down. And if you're led by the Spirit, you're not under Moses—period.

If you're exhausted from "Jesus + something," tired of the spiritual treadmill, or suspicious that "balance" might just be bondage with a smile—this message is for you.

No nuance. No balance. Just Jesus.

1. Despite the overwhelming evidence in Scripture, why do you think so many push for a combination or balance of old covenant and new covenant?
2. Set aside. Weak. Useless. Taken away. Cast out. Abolished the enmity. These are the expressions used to describe the old covenant. What do they say to you about your relationship with God? Explain.
3. Died to the Law. Not under the Law. Released from the Law. Christ is the end of the Law. What do these NT expressions say to you about your relationship with Moses? Explain.
4. How do your answers to #2 and #3 fit with "all Scripture is inspired" (2 Tim. 3:16) and the fact that the whole Bible is useful to us today?
5. Led by the Spirit. Not mastered by sin. Serve in a new way. Bear fruit for God. How do these NT expressions respond to those who suggest we're only free from the Law for salvation but not for daily living?
6. Is the Old Testament law written on believers' hearts? Explain. If your answer is "no", then explain what is actually written on our hearts? Also, who then is Romans 2:14-15 actually talking about?
7. React to this statement: Many just can't imagine a way to be godly that doesn't involve the Ten Commandments.

What does "born of water" mean in John 3? Does it relate to the "sprinkling" of water in Ezekiel 36? How can I get the Holy Spirit? My pastor says I need to! I'm struggling with depression, and sometimes I think God hates me. I also deal with outbursts of anger and rage. What can I do?

How narrow is the road exactly? What does it take to be saved? What about my friends who don't understand grace fully? I struggle with not wanting to read my Bible very much. Is that a bad sign? Who are the people in Hebrews 2 that are neglecting salvation? Could that be some Christians today?

Certain animals were considered "unclean" before the law, so why aren't they unclean now? Thank you for proclaiming the message of God's grace! What can we do to share this message with others more? If we all get the same reward in heaven, then what is the meaning of the parable of the talents? And why does one servant get so severely punished?

What does it mean that Jesus became sin? What are the implications of us becoming God's righteousness? When do we ask God to forgive us of all our sins? Do we need to "plead the blood" of Jesus? Are our sins "under the blood"? How does Satan masquerade as an angel of light?

Do the 10 virgins in Matthew 25 represent Christians? To whom does Jesus say, "Depart from Me"? What is the context of women and head coverings in 1 Corinthians 11? Why are they prophesying if they're supposed to remain quiet in church?
