The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley 1p402f

I struggle with obsessive thoughts about my salvation and staying in God’s will. Is this God sending me a message? My 11-year-old went to a camp and was told that he is not saved, because he hasn’t been baptized in water. Can you help him? What is the true meaning of predestination? Can women speak in church and serve in leadership? Or should they be quiet in every church setting?

Did God predetermine who would believe and be saved? Discussion Questions: Why does Paul keep mentioning Jews and Gentiles with the theme of predestination? Read Romans 10:6-9. Why shouldn’t we try to predict who is saved and who isn’t? How does verse 10 demonstrate our role in salvation? Read verse 11. What can we expect from the gospel? How do verses 12-13 drive home the main point of this series on predestination? Read verse 14 and react to this statement: Let’s get this message out there! Which of the verses in the grand finale are most convincing to you? Why?

Discussion Questions: How is God’s foreknowledge different from controlling everyone’s moves? React to this statement: God predestined every child of God to grow, being conformed to Christ’s image. How is Romans 9:30-31 the summary of everything Paul wants to communicate? In what way does this Romans age mirror what we saw in Ephesians last week? React to this statement: Paul uses Jacob, Esau, and Pharaoh to defend God’s right to do whatever He wants. And now God wants to bring salvation to the Gentiles. How does the Hosea quote in Romans 9:25-26 further expose the true meaning of predestination? Why can the genuine message concerning predestination unite us (rather than divide us) and even offer a cure for racism?

What is repentance? What role does it play in salvation? What about in the daily life of the believer? Why do Christians still struggle with sin? Is it the presence of Satan or demons? Or do we have a sinful nature? What is the flesh? *previously aired

I’ve been married 48 years to a narcissist husband who refuses to work and plan for the future. I feel like a voodoo doll getting pins stuck in me every day. What should I do? Does Galatians 5 really mean that I won’t inherit the kingdom of God if I mess up too much? How do I reach someone who is into witchcraft and continues to ignore the gospel that I’ve presented to them many times?

What does it mean that Jesus is our Advocate? Is that like Him being our attorney, defending us before God? I have congestive heart failure, and it gives me tremendous fatigue. I end up irritable, and I get angry sometimes. What can I do? I’ve heard your message on predestination, but I’m not sure about Romans 8 and 9. Can you explain?

Sometimes what I do is out of tune with who I really am: I get angry. I cuss. Help me! What is Jesus talking about in Luke 21 with being counted “worthy”? How can I better know the Father?

Discussion Questions for Ephesians: Why do authorship (“we”) and audience (“you”) matter so much here? Who were the first to hope in Christ (1:12)? Who are the “you also” in verse 13? How does Ephesians 2:11-13 help us define even further who the “you” is? In verse 17, who was “far away”? Who was “near”? How is this a unifying message rather than a divisive one? What does this mean for those who believe predestination is about individual selection? What is the “mystery” Paul speaks of in chapter 3? Is it still hidden or revealed? If revealed, how? React to this statement: Jesus said, “I’ll draw all men,” not “I’ll draft a few.”

What does 1 Corinthians 3 mean about works burning up? Do Christians have two fathers? Do we sometimes serve Satan? What is the meaning of “Son of Man”? My friend believes only water baptism can bring forgiveness of sins. I’m not sure we can get married if we disagree on this! Is that what Acts 2:38 is teaching us - that water baptism brings forgiveness? *Previously aired

I have committed some pretty big sins. Will God still forgive me of those? I lost my remorse for sins around age 13. I wonder why. Plus, Jesus said, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” I’m not sure if that’s really happening in my life!

How do we actually know what Jesus said while praying to His Father if the disciples weren’t there? Can everyone say God is their Father? Did God choose Judas to betray Jesus? What did Peter mean about God‘s impartial judgment of everyone? I thought Christians weren’t judged!
