“Does God harden people’s hearts?”

Matthew 7 really scares me! To whom does Jesus say, “Depart from Me”? Right now, I’m being slandered. And the person doing it is a believer! How does God view this injustice? If God hardened Pharaoh’s heart long ago, then does He harden people’s hearts today so they can’t believe?

“How do we avoid sin and live godly without the Law?”

If we’re not under the Law, how can we know what sin is? If we’re not under the Law, do we have to put in effort to obey it? If God knew us before we were born (as we read in Jeremiah), then why would He create us, knowing He would send us to Hell? […]

“Did I believe with my head, not my heart?”

To what degree should we listen to other points of view on losing our salvation? I’m concerned that I only believed with my head and not my heart. Should I be worried? Why did Jesus breathe the Holy Spirit on them in John 20? Does that passage mean we get saved and then pursue a […]

“Should we beg like David?”

How should we read Psalm 51 in light of the cross? What about the book of Joel? How should I view my struggle with mental health? How can my wife help me? What do we talk to God about in prayer now that we understand His grace better?

“I went to Heaven and came back!”

Is the believer’s heart really new? What about the renewing of the mind? Why did Jesus highlight loving God with all your heart? What is your take on relics and icons that some people have? I was clinically dead and went to Heaven. I’m having trouble interpreting what Jesus said to me. Can you help?

“The same sin over and over again?”

Can unbelievers forgive other people? Is there an advantage for believers? If I struggle with the same sin over and over, am I not really saved? What exactly happened between David and Bathsheba? What does the life of David tell us about God‘s mercy and love?

What is the “wrath” of God?

What is the “wrath” of God? How will some experience it if Jesus died to free us from it? Does God speak audibly to us today? How do we “hear” from God? How should we look at giving under the New Covenant?

“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.

“How can I share God’s grace effectively?”

Do believers need “a teachable heart”? I’m a new believer, and I wonder how I can share Christ with my family. They don’t seem interested! How can I be more discerning in sharing the message of grace? Are women today allowed to speak in church? If so, then what did Paul mean in 1 Corinthians […]

“The firstborn of all creation”?

Why does Paul talk about the peace of God guarding our hearts and minds? Is the Earth flat? Why is Jesus called the “firstborn of all creation”? Does God withhold blessing if we don’t tithe?

Does God not hear our prayers when we sin?

What is adultery in God’s view? What about polygamy in the Old Testament? When we die, are we immediately with Jesus? Does Hebrews 10 mean anyone who sins “willfully” goes to hell? If we regard iniquity in our hearts, does God not hear us? It feels like my prayers are never answered. It causes me […]

“Are the desires of my heart good?”

How do we deal with disappointment with God? How can we say God is good when so many bad things happen? Why did Jesus say the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath? Is it okay to express the desires of our heart to God and ask Him for them?

“I’m a pastor and have never taught tithing!”

What is the purpose of the Mark 7 discussion on dogs eating crumbs from the table? What is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit? I’ve been a pastor for many years and have never taught tithing. Grace giving works!

“I can never live up to agape love!”

How did David view the Law? How is his life a testimony to the mercy of God? What about the failures of Moses and Paul? 1 Corinthians 13 seems like an impossible standard. How can we ever live up to it? I’m exiting the Catholic Church and trying out new congregations. Do I need to […]

“I’m struggling with lust and sexual sin…”

Can you be in Christ but still “think” in Adam? (Well, not exactly, but here’s why we’re still learning and growing.) I know I was saved early on in my life, but I feel that my heart has been hardened, and I keep believing lies. I’m miserable. Can you help me? Is self-defense with a […]

12.22.2023 – The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
