The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

What is the gospel? Does 2 Peter 1 imply levels of welcome in Heaven? Who was Melchizedek and what role does he play?

I struggle with obsessive thoughts about my salvation and staying in God’s will. Is this God sending me a message? My 11-year-old went to a camp and was told that he is not saved, because he hasn’t been baptized in water. Can you help him? What is the true meaning of predestination? Can women speak in church and serve in leadership? Or should they be quiet in every church setting?

Did God stack the deck? Did He pre-pick the winners and leave the rest with no shot? That’s what some folks think predestination means—God playing favorites, randomly hardening hearts and handing out salvation to the chosen few.

This isn’t just a philosophical debate. It’s about the heart of God—and whether He’s for some or for ALL. Does He randomly pick us, or is His invitation wide open to everyone?

Join us as we wrap up this powerful series and answer the question: Is predestination the choice you never made? We’ll dive into Romans 10 and other New Testament passages that reveal the radical inclusivity of God’s grace.

Click below to watch the message—and see just how big God’s heart really is.

1. Why does Paul keep mentioning Jews and Gentiles with the theme of predestination?
2. Read Romans 10:6-9. Why shouldn’t we try to predict who is saved and who isn’t?
3. How does verse 10 demonstrate our role in salvation?
4. Read verse 11. What can we expect from the Gospel?
5. How do verses 12-13 drive home the main point of this series on predestination?
6. Read verse 14 and react to this statement: Let’s get this message out there!
7. Which of the verses in the grand finale are most convincing to you? Why?

Does the “seed of the woman” in Genesis 3 relate to Revelation 12? What do you think about the ground shaking and Old Testament believers rising from the graves? What do you think about mental health issues like depression and anxiety? Are they physical, or spiritual, or potentially both? My church had me sign a covenant contract with them, and now I feel guilty when I break it! What can I do?

Is the comfort mentioned in Isaiah 40 seen fulfilled by Romans 5? Is the whole world forgiven of their sins? Or are only believers forgiven? I don’t think churches preach enough about judgment today! Why is the message of grace not received with more widespread enthusiasm?

My wife and I disagree so much about theology. We have debates all the time, and now I’m wondering what to do. Can you explain 1 Thessalonians 4 in terms of sanctification and sexual immorality? What about Matthew 25 and the punishment mentioned there? Should I be worried?

Why did Jesus pray, “Lead us not into temptation” if God would never do that? My friend is into witchcraft, and I’m worried about her. What can I do? Doesn’t Matthew 25:34 say God prepared a place for us before the foundation of the world? Is this support for us being pre-chosen individually to believe and be saved?

There’s a twisted theology that claims God handpicks a lucky few for salvation while the rest are doomed from the start. That’s not just off-base—it’s a flat-out misread of the Gospel.

In this latest message from our predestination series, we’re diving into Romans 8–9, where Paul reveals a long-hidden mystery: Gentiles are in. Yes, the so-called outsiders are now fully included in God’s plan.

This isn’t about favoritism or fate. It’s about real love and true freedom—the kind where anyone can believe, anyone can call upon the Lord, and anyone can be saved.

Don’t buy the sales pitch of selective love. Watch now and rediscover the Gospel that’s big enough for the whole world!

1. How is God’s foreknowledge different from controlling everyone’s moves?
2. React to this statement: God predestined every child of God to grow, being conformed to Christ’s image.
3. How is Romans 9:30-31 the summary of everything Paul wants to communicate?
4. In what way does this Romans passage mirror what we saw in Ephesians in Part 1?
5. React to this statement: Paul uses Jacob, Esau, and Pharaoh to defend God’s right to do whatever He wants. And now God wants to bring salvation to the Gentiles.
6. How does the Hosea quote in Romans 9:25-26 further expose the true meaning of predestination?
7. Why can the genuine message concerning predestination unite us (rather than divide us) and even offer a cure for racism?
