The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Why do Exodus and Numbers appear to have different accounts of Moses striking the rock? What do you think of the idea of "have been saved, being saved, and will be saved"? Will some Christians be left behind at the rapture? I worry about that! If we die and are already in heaven, how do we then "rise first" at the return of Christ?

Our church taught us that Jesus died only for some people and others (who are not pre-chosen) have no chance. Is this true? What is the Catholic view of sainthood? Aren't we all saints? Shouldn't we use the Law to define sin? If so, then why does Romans 14 say "whatever is not of faith is sin"? And what about Luther's "third use" of the Law?

Why does James say Abraham was justified when he offered Isaac? Wasn't Abraham a believer before that? I struggle so much with Hebrews 12 and the discipline of God. How can I see grace in this chapter? And what about the idea of Esau selling his birthright? That seems scary to me!

I have experienced being slain in the Spirit! My friend wants us to sleep together. Should I? Can you explain the Sabbath? My son doesn't seem to believe anymore. What should I think? Which is the best Bible version in English? I believe there are two kinds of tongues, and one is to edify yourself. Isn't that what 1 Corinthians 14 is teaching?

Many of us tiptoe through life wondering, "Am I really saved? Am I really secure?" And when our minds wrestle with doubt, shame, and fear, gratitude can be hard to find.

But here's the radical, confidence-building truth: Your salvation is untouchable. Eternally. Jesus has sealed your salvation, wrapped it tight, and nothing—not feelings, not failures, not life's chaos—can undo it. You're safe. No strings. No fine print. No loopholes.

In this first message of our series Grateful: A Heart Made Great and Full by Grace, we'll see God's smile, His soft embrace, and the unshakable grip He has on you. Salvation isn't about how well you live—it's about Him living in you.

Stop tiptoeing. Step into the freedom of knowing you're secure. Watch now, and let your gratitude soar.

1. Read John 14:19. How does Jesus tying your life to His resurrection life give you confidence about your eternal security?
2. Read John 6:37. What does Jesus' promise to "never cast out" reveal about how safe you are with Him—even on your worst day?
3. Read John 6:39. How does knowing that Jesus' mission was "to lose none" change the way you view your own assurance of salvation?
4. Read John 10:27–28. What does it mean to you personally that both the Father and the Son hold you in their hands? How does this double-grip shape your sense of security?
5. Read 2 Timothy 2:13. What assurance do you find in the truth that even when you are faithless, Christ remains faithful? How does this encourage gratefulness?
6. Read Romans 8:38–39. What threat feels most real to you? How does this passage reassure you that nothing can separate you from Christ?
7. Read Jude 1:24. How does ending with "He is able to keep you" shift your focus from your promises to God toward His promises to you? How is this a game-changer?

What are your thoughts on Oppositional Defiance Disorder? What is the power of sin? Does it indwell us as Christians? Did Adam and Eve ever repent and "get saved"? Why did Jesus tell some people, "Your sins are forgiven"? Is being "slain in the Spirit" biblical?

Who is the wicked servant in Luke 12? And should believers be worried? Why does God allow the freedom to choose sin? Why did God create Adam and Eve if He knew they would fall? Who are the false teachers in Jude 1? Are they genuine teachers of God's grace? How do I know if the Holy Spirit lives in me?

How do we let God love us? What does that look like? I've recently felt a call to Jesus, but I also appreciate the religions of the world.

I've been told that I need to step back and not be so active with my children and grandchildren. I want to find the perfect balance and not over-nurture them. How can I do that? I'm a truck driver, and I'm constantly on the road, so I can't attend church regularly. What does the Bible say about my situation?

I'm excited about the meaning of the resurrection in my life! A friend asked me to send him a sexy picture. What should I do? What is replacement theology? What is the truth about Jews and Gentiles and the church?
