The Great News of the Gospel – Part 20

Andrew Farley

So many Jews have rejected Jesus. But has God rejected them? Absolutely not! In fact, God has a beautiful plan to bring Jews and Gentiles together in Christ. Imagine a tree that represents all that God is doing with humanity throughout the ages. Then imagine yourself getting to be a part of that tree, grafted […]

Ever worked hard but with the wrong method? Ever moved fast but in the wrong direction? In Romans 10, Paul says the Jews have a zeal for God but not in accordance with knowledge. They miss salvation when they refuse to see how easy it is to be saved. And their bloodline or law-keeping don’t […]

“Jacob, I loved. Esau, I hated.” -God We hear this and wonder what it means and what God is trying to tell us today. Some say it’s about God individually selecting people for salvation and leaving others with no chance. But is that what’s really going on in Romans 9? No way! Instead, it’s about […]

God will never bring any charge against you. He is always for you, and the Holy Spirit even prays for you. This is an important message in Romans 8! But there’s more: God freely gives us everything in Christ. He doesn’t withhold in the slightest. Plus, He even guarantees our growth as He inspires us […]

Growing up, I only heard the Holy Spirit’s job was to “convict” me, so naturally I was a bit scared of Him. But now, I realize there’s a whole lot more to the Spirit than I first thought. He is always leading me, always convincing me of my new heart, and always good toward me. […]

There’s zero condemnation for you! Romans 8 begins with the amazing reality that you’ll never get what you deserve. Sin deserves death, but you sin every day and never die. You always have eternal life in Jesus, no matter what. Romans 8 contains another stunning truth: “the spirit is alive because of righteousness.” This means […]

Here’s the second half of my take on Romans 7. It helps dispel the lie that there’s no real victory on this side of Heaven. It also explains how we are truly free from the clutches of sin. This is such an important message, as it introduces a revolutionary perspective on a central passage in […]

Today, I have something truly fascinating to share with you—a powerful insight into Romans 7 that will transform your understanding of the Christian life. I invite you to watch this latest message in which I argue that Paul’s struggles in Romans 7 are not the normal Christian life, but the normal Law-based life. Being “sold […]

We’re under grace, so why not just sin? Paul’s answer in Romans 6 is essentially this: Look at you! You’ve got an obedient heart now, and you’re addicted to righteousness. You’ll never be happy sinning, because sin is hard work with no real payoff! I love this chapter, because it reveals the true nature of […]

You will never be deader to sin than you are right now. Let that sink in. That’s the radical, powerful message Romans 6 has to offer you. Jesus died to sin “once for all,” and He took you with Him into His death, burial, and resurrection. Now, you’re alive to God, and you can afford […]

3 Things You Should Hear on Easter Sunday

We hear a lot of things in the Bible belt that aren’t actually in the Bible! In this message, I reveal three common lies we often believe about ourselves and our relationship with God.

When sin increases, grace just increases even more. So, this begs the question: Why not just go out and sin to show off God’s grace? Paul offers an unexpected answer. He doesn’t issue any threats, and there’s no guilt trip or manipulation. Instead, he asks, “You died to sin. How can you live in it […]

God’s not mad at you! In fact, He’s delighted with you, and you enjoy perfect peace with Him. This is the beautiful, inspiring message of Romans 5. And everything that Adam ruined, Jesus fixed and made so much better. You now have an abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness. What more could you […]

Abraham doubted God’s promise to provide him and his wife with a son. Then, he decided to have a child with another woman just in case God didn’t come through. But that’s not what Romans 4 says about Abraham! God tells us through the Apostle Paul that Abraham “did not waver” in unbelief, grew strong […]

Abraham and David are perfect examples of those who were credited with righteousness and had their sins covered. By faith, they were forgiven and made right before God. But we have something more than a credited righteousness and something better than a sin covering. Find out why you can celebrate God’s grace even more than […]

The Law only speaks to one group – unbelievers. And it shuts everyone up! But thankfully, apart from the Law we can enjoy being 100% right with God for free. And God’s need for justice has been fully satisfied: The wages of sin is death. Jesus died. Do the math and celebrate! Does this mean […]

We humans are quick to put God on trial. We weigh His decisions and seek to determine if He is good and fair. Of course, this is a result of us eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. And in Romans 3, Paul was calling humanity out and responding to some […]

The Great News of the Gospel – Part 4

The Law only breeds two things – defeat if you’re honest and hypocrisy if you’re not. In this tongue-in-cheek passage, Paul is calling all hypocrites to the carpet. Paul even goes as far to say that obedient Gentiles could rightfully judge disobedient Jews. Ouch. I’m sure that one ruffled some feathers! But Paul is simply […]

Here’s the bad news: We’re all in the same boat! That’s the message of Romans 2 – we’re all equally doomed. And there’s no partiality with God. Whether it’s a Jew trying to keep the Law, or a Gentile trying to obey their conscience, there are exactly zero people on the planet who can meet […]

The truth is all around us! We see it in the mountains and in the stars. It’s evident in the animal kingdom and in our own bodies. We are not the product of random chance. We have a Creator! While this is obvious, some still suppress the truth, making foolish speculations about our origins. As […]
