03.07.2025 – The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
Did Abraham really disobey God with Hagar? Or is it just unclear? Is prophecy (in Revelation) always about the Roman Empire? My siblings died an early death, and I’m wondering: Does the Bible say that Satan can directly kill others, including Christians?
How do I deal with sexual lust?
Does God care about denominations? Do certain groups have no chance of salvation? How do I deal with sexual lust? Why does Jesus say, “Stop sinning or something worse will happen to you?”
“Why am I still struggling financially?”
I’m a Christian, and I know I’m saved. Now, I’m in a same-sex relationship, and I’m not living perfectly, but at least I know I’m loved. What are your thoughts? If I’ve been praying and trusting God so much, why do I still struggle financially? My pastor died recently, and I have been praying for […]
Does grace make you passive?
Fully God, fully man – did Christ have the “capacity” to sin? Does the grace of God make some people go passive? Why didn’t God heal Paul? What did God mean by “My grace is sufficient”?
Is Jesus convincing God to forgive you?
Why do so many people watch sports but not go to church? Is Jesus pleading with the Father to get Him to forgive us? How do you overcome sexual lust? Can you ask for forgiveness right before suicide? Or is it an unpardonable sin?
Christmas Trees & Pork Sandwiches
Who was Eliezer of Damascus? Why was Abraham thinking of giving an inheritance to him? What can we learn from the difference between Isaac and Ishmael? A friend of mine is a new believer and doesn’t eat pork or celebrate Christmas with a tree. How can I reach her with the truth? I’ve heard I […]
“Am I really saved?”
What about people who’ve never heard the gospel? How should we view Israel and the church? Are we descendants from Isaac or Ishmael? How can I know if God’s Spirit lives in me? Am I really saved if I still continue to struggle with sin? What does Psalm 92 mean about trees and maturity? What […]
Salvation without water baptism?
Can we be saved without water baptism? If I don’t have to ask for forgiveness each time, then what should I do when I sin? Why did Jesus say, “My time has not yet come”? What are your thoughts on the song, “Better Than a Hallelujah”? Is it sacrilegious?
“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?
“You sin more under the Ten Commandments!”
What is antinomianism? How can I respond to those who think I’m a “Law hater”? What does it mean to be filled with the Spirit? How should we respond to Deuteronomy which tells us not to enter the house of the Lord empty-handed? What about tithing? New Testament giving?
“Slain in the Spirit? Is there a gas leak?”
How did Jesus live 33 years without sinning? Did the way of salvation get narrower or wider after Jesus? Who is invited? Is “slain in the spirit” a biblical concept? Do we need to call God and Jesus by their Hebrew names? Why are there so many Bible versions? Why does the King James Bible […]
“Delivered over to Satan?”
Why did Paul say he delivered someone over to Satan? My co-worker says he sees deceased family members! I’m in an unbiblical relationship, so should I pray for clarity? How do I know if I’m talking to God in prayer or just to myself?
Is godliness vague without the Law?*
How do we define sin without the Law? How do we live the Christian life without depending on the Ten Commandments? Did Jesus have any fallenness about Him? Did Jesus restore us to a condition closer to that of Adam and Eve? Why are some people using Ecclesiastes 10:2 to talk about American politics? What […]

“Is purgatory in the Bible?”
Should we be reciting the Lord’s Prayer? What is Sheol? Is it purgatory? Does God hold blessings back because we are struggling with sin?
“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?
Does Christ live in everyone? No!
What is Lordship salvation? Where does it come from? What is the sin that leads to death? Should I pray for foreign leaders that I disagree with? Is it accurate to say that Christ lives in everyone and they just don’t realize it yet? How can I find peace with God?
“It’s not even me. It’s sin doing it!”
What kind of repentance does it really take to be saved? How can we be “perfected for all time” if we still sin? If we are not under the Law, then why does the New Testament still mention “commandments” for believers? What is the power called “sin” in Genesis 4? And how does it relate […]
“The Law is not multiple choice…”
Was the sin of Adam and Eve passed down to everyone? What can we say to Muslims who emphasize that Ishmael was born before Isaac? How do the Jews obey the Law if they are not offering sacrifices any longer? Why didn’t Jesus appear to more people after His resurrection? Plenty of people could say […]
Give God the glory? (He has enough!)
I have an ongoing struggle with pornography. How do I overcome it? I have been giving God the glory when my business goes well. Is there a better perspective, especially for when things don’t go well?
