01.10.2025 – The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
Shouldn’t we confess our struggles to God and others? Even though I’m forgiven, I feel regret and remorse over sin. Is this good? What about shame? Is God sovereign? Does He control everything? Is He in control of the universe? My friends reject “once saved, always saved.” What about Judas and the demons? Aren’t they […]
“Is it okay to listen to false teachers?”
Is the return of Christ secretive or public? Does the final judgment come later? I can barely pay my rent, yet I feel pressure to tithe. Should I? Is it okay to listen carefully to false teachers to glean bits of truth? Why do I have dreams that I’m losing my salvation?
You’re safe. The enemy is all bark and no bite!
What “newness” will you celebrate in the New Year? Is God truly sovereign? Does this mean we cannot do anything to prolong our lives? Can spiritual leaders be abusive? If so, how exactly? Can the enemy interfere with our prayers? Can he read our minds?
“How can I forgive an abusive pastor?”
Is it okay for the church today to use musical instruments for worship? Why did Peter put on his coat (or garment) before swimming? How can I forgive an abusive pastor from my past? How did John the Baptist not get killed as a baby by Herod’s edict? I heard that what God wrote on […]
“Totally forgiven? Or confess to be forgiven?”*
What’s a healthy motivation for giving? How does this differ from living under the Law in the Old Testament? Is there a required percentage today? If we are forgiven of all of our sins, then what is 1 John 1:9 about? It seems like there’s a condition to be met in that verse! *Previously aired.

“Why am I not hearing this everywhere?”
I’m so excited about God‘s grace! Why aren’t we hearing this message in every church across the world?! Can you talk about legalistic religion (in Colossians), and the pure kind that James referred to? How can we best describe Christianity to others?
“Why will we judge angels?”
What is “repentance toward God”? Why are believers going to judge the angels? My friends tell me to keep the Sabbath. Are they right? Where was Jesus for three days after He died? If God forgave all my sins, why would I be judged for them?
“I feel like a hypocrite when I read the Bible or pray!”*
Why is it so hard for me to believe my “sins of omission” are forgiven? I feel guilty (like a hypocrite) when I read the Bible or pray, because of my choices lately. What can I do? How do 2 Corinthians 5 and Romans 14 fit together and show us what will happen at the […]

Is there one final judgment or two?
Are there always earthly consequences for our actions? How do we stay “positive” about God even in the midst of them? Is there one final judgment or two? What does 2 Corinthians 5:10 mean when it says “we must all appear” and then it speaks of being “recompensed”?
“How can I deal with anxiety?”
Is the whole world saved? Is the whole world forgiven? Does the whole world have the Holy Spirit? What does the Bible say about worry and anxiety?
“Old Testament violence? Natural disasters?”
How would you help a believer who is involved in sexual immorality? Do we see God immediately when we die or do we have to wait? How is God always the same but then the Old Testament is filled with such violence? Does God bring disaster upon us? I feel so condemned because of my […]
“Obedience to God’s commands?”
Do we need to ask for forgiveness? What about the Lord’s Prayer? What does it mean to be obedient to God’s commands? Why does it seem like public prayer is often so formal and artificial?
Work out your salvation with fear and trembling?
Do we need to confess each sin to be forgiven? What about James 5:16 and confessing to one another? How do we “work out our salvation” and why does Paul say “with fear and trembling”? Does God pre-select some people for salvation leaving others with no chance to believe?
“My pastor confused everyone!”
Does the message of total forgiveness lead to more sinning? Does walking by the Spirit lead to perfect performance? Can a Christian be possessed by a demon? What is the enemy able to do to us? My pastor told us we can lose our salvation. Now everyone’s confused!
Wanna be forgiven yet miserable?
How does resisting temptation really work? What does it mean to renew the mind? What happened between Lazarus and the rich man? What does it mean? How do we reconcile total forgiveness with the need for saying “no” to sin?
“Is God punishing me?”
How could Jesus not know the timing of His return and still be God? I’m experiencing guilt and anxiety over losing my son. I wonder: Is it God’s punishment for my sins?
“Jesus did it all. So what do we do?”
Can we have an ongoing sin struggle yet be genuinely saved? What can we do about vengeful or violent thoughts we get? If Jesus did it all, is there anything that we do? What’s our role?
“How can I harness the power to heal?”
Some think they’re hearing from those who have died. What do you say to that? I was in the hospital for a month with cancer and experienced a lot of accusation and condemnation in my mind. Where was that coming from? My dad is pressuring me to keep the Sabbath day. Am I supposed to? […]
