The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
Pastor and bestselling author Andrew Farley's weekly messages and radio shows.
Episodes
Our church taught us that Jesus died only for some people and others (who are not pre-chosen) have no chance. Is this true? What is the Catholic view of sainthood? Aren't we all saints? Shouldn't we use the Law to define sin? If so, then why does Romans 14 say "whatever is not of faith is sin"? And what about Luther's "third use" of the Law?
Why does James say Abraham was justified when he offered Isaac? Wasn't Abraham a believer before that? I struggle so much with Hebrews 12 and the discipline of God. How can I see grace in this chapter? And what about the idea of Esau selling his birthright? That seems scary to me!
I have experienced being slain in the Spirit! My friend wants us to sleep together. Should I? Can you explain the Sabbath? My son doesn't seem to believe anymore. What should I think? Which is the best Bible version in English? I believe there are two kinds of tongues, and one is to edify yourself. Isn't that what 1 Corinthians 14 is teaching?
What If You're Safer Than You Think?
Discussion Questions:
- Read John 14:19. How does Jesus tying your life to His resurrection life give you confidence about your eternal security?
- Read John 6:37. What does Jesus' promise to "never cast out" reveal about how safe you are with Him—even on your worst day?
- Read John 6:39. How does knowing that Jesus' mission was "to lose none" change the way you view your own as...
What are your thoughts on Oppositional Defiance Disorder? What is the power of sin? Does it indwell us as Christians? Did Adam and Eve ever repent and "get saved"? Why did Jesus tell some people, "Your sins are forgiven"? Is being "slain in the Spirit" biblical?
Who is the wicked servant in Luke 12? And should believers be worried? Why does God allow the freedom to choose sin? Why did God create Adam and Eve if He knew they would fall? Who are the false teachers in Jude 1? Are they genuine teachers of God's grace? How do I know if the Holy Spirit lives in me?
How do we let God love us? What does that look like? I've recently felt a call to Jesus, but I also appreciate the religions of the world.
I've been told that I need to step back and not be so active with my children and grandchildren. I want to find the perfect balance and not over-nurture them. How can I do that? I'm a truck driver, and I'm constantly on the road, so I can't attend church regularly. What does the Bible say about my situation?
I'm excited about the meaning of the resurrection in my life! A friend asked me to send him a sexy picture. What should I do? What is replacement theology? What is the truth about Jews and Gentiles and the church?
What are your thoughts on ADHD? Sometimes, I don't feel like Jesus lives in me. How does the teaching on Paul's thorn in the flesh relate to us practically today? Did Jesus really go to Hell for three days? When does the new heaven and new Earth happen? What happens to the old?
What if God's Power Shines Most When You Stop Pretending?
We love to look good, sound smart, and act like we've got our spiritual act together. But Paul? He had a chip on his shoulder, a thorn in the flesh, and zero interest in impressing anyone. And yet—the power of God flowed through him.
Why? Because it wasn't about Paul. Not slick words, clever debates, flawless presentations, or religious performance. It was about Jes...
Jesus said not to judge, but then God judges us? And shouldn't we make "judgment calls"? Can Satan read our minds? If not, then how are we always getting sinful thoughts in our heads? Why do so many Christian parents allow their children to participate in Halloween with costumes and trick-or-treating? Is it right or wrong?
Can a true believer fall so hard that they can't repent and be forgiven by God? Do we receive the Holy Spirit by the laying on of hands? If not, then how exactly? Will some Christians miss the rapture and be left behind because of disobedience?
What's the deal with head coverings in 1 Corinthians? Does God still hear repetitive prayers like at the dinner table? Is Christianity largely a pursuit of knowledge? What is the truth about the Eucharist and transubstantiation?
I have so much guilt and regret over how I treated people during my lifetime. How can I find relief? The Ten Commandments says "no other gods before Me" yet we worship and pray to Jesus. Isn't that a contradiction? I lost my husband and then became physical with another man. Does this mean I lose my salvation and miss out on Heaven?
Should all pastors have a truth-checker displayed behind them while they preach? I left the church when I became an adult. How do I get back to God? Do you think Eve recognized the voice of Satan? Thank you for the "All or Nothing" podcast series!
Do we need to confess every sin to God? To be more forgiven? If not, then how about just agreeing with Him? Are the mustard seed and the tree in Matthew 13 about church denominations today? What does it mean to be "born of the Spirit"? Do we have to be persecuted in order to be proven as real believers? Which Bible version do you recommend?
Are You Being Built Up—or Just Impressed?
Some churches could win awards for production value. Smoke machines, light shows, maybe even a horse or a Harley down the center aisle. But when you hit the parking lot, what are you really left with? Goosebumps or the Gospel?
The Apostle Paul wasn't chasing applause or followers. He wasn't trying to wow the crowd. He was building believers up in Christ. Big difference.
The real ba...
What is the real point of "where two or more are gathered"? I wonder if God is convicting me about how I spend my free time. Should I be more devoted to Him? My brother passed away, and I don't really understand whether he was with God right after his death, or waiting for his body, or what?
How does the gospel speak to trauma? In 1 John, who is the group that "went out from among us" because they were never really part of the church? Does this relate to the importance of church attendance? What is God trying to teach me through my back pain?

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
