How do we start conversations with strangers about salvation? Why do Christians say they "chose" to believe in Christ? Aren't we just "persuaded" by God? I don't know how to read well and often don't understand the Bible. Does God still hear me? How can I show someone they must get counseling to fix their marriage? I know someone who doesn't believe in God, because she wants to be a "woman of science." How can I reach her? What does it mean to be at peace with all men (Romans 12:18)? What is really happening in Matthew 24? Who is taken and who is left behind? *Previously aired

Is Moses Fired If Jesus Is Hired? Discussion Questions for Hebrews 7: Is Hebrews 7:8–10 really about tithing, or is the writer making a deeper point? React to this statement: A change of priesthood means a change of law. How does Jesus' tribe, lineage, or "passport" factor into the Law-versus-grace argument? How do phrases like "setting aside," "weakness," and "uselessness" clarify our relationship to the Law as believers? React to this statement: Jesus is my guarantee of a better covenant. React to this statement: You'll be saved as long as Jesus lives. Why is it so important to understand the "daily" sacrifices versus Jesus' "once-for-all" sacrifice in verse 27?

What does it really mean to be filled with the Spirit? I'm getting married next week: Do you have any advice? Why were Ananias and Sapphira struck dead by God? Should I teach my children to be terrified of Hell?

Should we expect a review of all our sins? What is predestination? What about foreknowledge? How can there be a God if children die of leukemia?

Are we obligated to keep the Sabbath? What does it mean to rest in Christ? Should I sign a petition allowing the sale of alcohol in my area? Exactly how much faith is necessary at the moment of salvation? What if there was also some doubt? Would a second marriage mean living in perpetual adultery?

Does too much grace make people sin more? I think I'm getting a sign from God that I should move to Texas. Am I correct? Is it ever biblical to reduce or cut contact with a friend?

What was the work Jesus had "finished" in John 17:4 if He hadn't even died yet? How can we no longer be "sinful" (instead, righteous) if we still commit sins? I've had nagging doubts about my salvation for many years. What can I do?

Is God's promise to Himself anchoring your salvation? Hebrews 6 is about anchoring your confidence in God's promise, not your consistency. Andrew Farley reveals why you're not inching closer to God through quiet times, church attendance, or spiritual effort. In Christ, you are already near, already secure, already anchored. Discussion Questions for Hebrews 6-7: Hebrews 6:11 speaks of "the full assurance of hope." Why is assurance so important in the Christian life? How does confidence in Christ produce diligence, while fear and uncertainty often produce burnout? God swore by Himself because "He could swear by no one greater" (6:13). What does it mean that our hope is anchored in God's promise to Himself, not our promise to God? How does that expose the exhausting lie that "it all depends on me"? Hebrews 6:18 says it is "impossible for God to lie." When you doubt your security, forgiveness, or closeness to God, what are you really being tempted to question about Him? How does God's character become the foundation of your confidence? Verse 19 calls this hope "an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast." What are some false anchors people trust in: performance, feelings, church attendance, spiritual disciplines, personal promises? How is Jesus a better anchor than all of them? Hebrews 6:19–20 says our hope enters "within the veil," where Jesus has gone as our forerunner. What does it mean that Jesus did not merely point toward God's presence but actually brought us in? How does this confront the idea that believers are still distant from God? Melchizedek is called "king of righteousness" and "king of peace" (7:2). How does knowing you've been made right with God produce real peace instead of religious striving? Abraham gave a gift to Melchizedek before the Levitical priesthood even existed (7:6). What does this show about a priesthood greater than the Levitical system? How does Jesus, our forever High Priest, free us from living under an old religious system and invite us into something better?

Is the gift of tongues for every believer? Does it prove we are truly saved? Do believers still sin? What "laws" do we have written on our hearts? My fellow pastors advise me to teach more on obedience. What are your thoughts?

I want to be a great mom, but I'm overwhelmed by my mistakes. How can I find freedom? Do we need to die to self? Die daily? I heard some Christians won't go to heaven because they didn't go to church enough. Is this true?

I've been so hurt by bad teaching that I don't know how to react when I still hear it. Can you help me process the pain? Is God giving me a sign that I should leave my job because it's so frustrating at times? What does it mean to "work out your salvation"?

Does God really pre-select some to believe while others can't be saved? Why is "predestined" in Romans and Ephesians, not elsewhere? Does suicide disqualify us from heaven? Can you explain "left behind" in Matthew 24 and Luke 17? You say we should want to be left behind? Why? Do believers need to worry about generational curses?

Are Christians still under the "moral law" (Ten Commandments)? How do I best share grace with my friends when I've been rejected? I planted seeds of grace in the lives of my friends, and years later, there's a harvest! Do Christians have wicked hearts, or new hearts, or both?

What If Hebrews' Most Terrifying Passages Are Not About You? Hebrews 6 has terrified Christians for centuries. But what if this warning passage was never written to threaten Christians at all? In this eye-opening message, Andrew Farley reveals the true audience and context behind Hebrews 6. These warnings weren't aimed at believers secure in Christ, but at first-century Hebrews standing at a crossroads between dead religion and Jesus Himself. If you've ever struggled with fear, doubt, or insecurity about your standing with God, this message will anchor you again in the finished work of Christ and the freedom of eternal security. Discussion Questions Hebrews 5-6: Hebrews 5:11 says the audience had become "dull of hearing." What are some ways religious people today can hear a lot of Bible teaching but still become spiritually sluggish toward the message of Jesus? Hebrews 5:12 says they should have been teachers by now but still needed the basics. What "basics" of the gospel do believers often drift away from and need to relearn? Hebrews 5:14 says the mature are trained to discern good and evil. How does maturity help us recognize the difference between Jesus Himself and religious-sounding substitutes? Hebrews 6:1 says to "press on to maturity" instead of laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works. What are "dead works," and why is returning to them such a serious distraction from Jesus? Hebrews 6:4–5 describes people who were enlightened and tasted heavenly things. What is the difference between being exposed to the Gospel and actually trusting Jesus? Hebrews 6:6 warns about falling away after tasting the truth. Why is rejecting Jesus so serious if He is the only sacrifice, priest, and source of life God has provided? Hebrews 6:7–8 compares fruitful land with thorn-producing land. How does this analogy clarify the difference between receiving the Gospel and merely being around spiritual activity? Hebrews 6:9 says, "We are convinced of better things concerning you, and things that accompany salvation." How does this verse help reassure believers that the warning passage is not about Jesus losing His people, but about the difference between mere exposure and real salvation?

"Well, done, good and faithful servant"- is God talking to us there or to Jesus? Are we believers "good" or "bad"? What is the healthy and humble view? Do we need to confess sins to God daily to be forgiven and cleansed? What is confession and its place in our lives? How can someone find joy again after going through something traumatic?

I keep hearing about the Ethiopian Bible and missing books in our canon. Is there truth to this? My pastor says we need to serve the Lord more. What does that really look like? After hearing a message on Zephaniah, I'm afraid I might be "stepping on the threshold" or disrespecting God and missing out on His best. Can you help?

How did giants reappear after the flood? How were stones moved to build the pyramids? What are your thoughts on the Calvinist "tulip"? Is it a sin to say curse words?

My pastor goes on long, political rants and often seems distracted from the gospel. What should I do? What is the truth about the doctrine of election? Did Jesus die for everyone? What about Calvinism and Arminianism? Did God predestine some to believe while others have no chance?

I asked some Jehovah's Witnesses if Christ lives in them, and they said "no." Are they saved? What about my child who doesn't want to talk about Christianity very much? What can you do when you feel like you're constantly falling short of God's expectations? Andrew, do you ever worry you're doing mental gymnastics to believe we're eternally secure?

Hungry for More than Milk? This message reveals a stunning truth: Jesus gets you. He understands. Not from a distance. Not from a throne room. From experience. He stepped into your struggle. He knows your pain. With Him, there is no scorekeeping, no distance, no performance review. Just a High Priest with scars who meets you in your worst moments with mercy, grace, and an unshakable salvation. He is not like the old. He is better in every way. And He is yours. Discussion Questions for Hebrews 5: Why is it important that Jesus truly became human to represent us? How does Jesus' compassion differ from human, weakness-based compassion? What are the benefits of Jesus being both the Son of God and our High Priest? Verse 7 says Jesus prayed with loud crying and tears. What does this reveal about Jesus? React to this statement: Like Jesus, we learn obedience, even while we're righteous. Read verse 9. How should we understand "obey Him" in the context of Hebrews 1-5? In your own words, explain the role and importance of Melchizedek. What's the difference between spiritual "milk" and "the word of righteousness"?

Our church gets a lot of things right, but they still don't teach total forgiveness. What should I do? Do you think Jesus showed up in the Old Testament? If so, where? How should we interpret John 15:13 about giving up one's life for his friends? Is this a good definition of sin: "following my desires instead of God's desires"? What are my true desires?

Does more persecution mean more rewards for us in heaven? Is that what Jesus teaches in Matthew 5? Why does Paul say he "beats his body" and makes it his "slave"? And he does it ao he won't be disqualified?

What is the meaning of the parable of the wicked servant? What would you say to those who hurl accusations of cheap grace, hyper-grace, and easy believism? It feels like some worship services are way over the top! What are your thoughts on worship?

My church allows women to teach a few times a year. What are they thinking? My husband passed away 20 years ago, and I wonder where exactly he is now: in heaven or waiting to see Jesus? How should we view the political world as a believers?

Are we Christians teaching "the Devil made me do it" and thereby creating an excuse for crime among unbelievers? How can I encourage my friend who is a pastor and seems like he's burning out? Does the Old Testament justify abandoning your father when you've had a disagreement?

I've struggled with porn during my life. I recently relapsed and then started to doubt my salvation. I have OCD, so that makes it even worse. Help! Why was the apostle Paul silent on the matter of abuse in marriage? Why doesn't he mention it in 1 Corinthians 7?

Why was Cain's sacrifice not acceptable to God? Why did Jesus still offer a morsel of bread dipped in wine to Judas? How can I recognize God's voice in my life? I'm in an abusive family situation and I'm trying to have some healthy boundaries. Can you help me navigate this? Why do I keep making bad decisions in life? Does this mean I'm doing something wrong in my faith? As a believer, should I be dating a Jewish man who doesn't believe Jesus is the Messiah? I suffer from a mental disorder, and I wonder how this fits with the renewing of my mind.

Are you relaxing with God? Hebrews 4 reveals the one thing religion usually hides: Rest isn't a reward for the elite; it's the current location of the believer. Not someday. Right now. There is no second experience to chase and no level you need to reach. You are not behind. You are not missing something. You are in. This is the gospel of rest and it will change the way you. Discussion Questions for Hebrews 4: What does it mean to "enter God's rest"? Is it salvation or something more? Explain your answer. Why do the seven days of creation in Genesis appear in this chapter?What parallel can be drawn? What keeps people from entering God's rest? How is this different from a behavior-centered gospel? How does verse 7 reveal the truth about the freedom we have to accept or reject the gospel message? How can someone "be diligent" to enter God's rest? What kind of high priest is Jesus? What makes Him this way? To what degree can we enjoy God? What can we always expect from Him?

So many people take advantage of me and others. It's hard to know when to help people. How can I be more discerning? Why does Paul list people who won't inherit the kingdom? What if we've committed things on that list? I worry, because I don't seem to experience the Christian joy other believers have.

Why do some translations of John 3:16 not say "begotten"? What does "begotten" refer to? Hasn't Jesus always existed? In Genesis 6, God sees evil everywhere. What about now? And does He see believers the same way? What does "I die daily" mean in 1 Corinthians 15? What did Jews in the Old Testament (and now) think of the Holy Spirit? *previously aired

And does He see believers the same way? What does "I die daily" mean in 1 Corinthians 15? What did Jews in the Old Testament (and now) think of the Holy Spirit?

I've believed in God my whole life, but I don't have a relationship with Jesus. What am I doing wrong? How do I explain "count yourselves dead to sin"? What does that mean? Is it wrong for Christians to listen to secular music? 

Why doesn't God prioritize the value of marriage in heaven? What is true spiritual growth? Should we measure it somehow? I think God told me to move to Texas, but I don't want to. Will I be forgiven?

How can I encourage my friend who is depressed? Her belief system seems to be the source! What do the five spiritual senses represent in your book, "Heaven is Now"? Who is the antichrist? Who is the man of lawlessness? When was the book of Revelation written? Did Jesus return in A.D. 70? Is there "soul sleep" or are we with God immediately upon our death? My friends tell me we are still under the law and that we're fulfilling it as we love people. Is that right? What is grace? When Jesus ascended, whom did He send as the Comforter? Is there a person we should be waiting for?

Have you entered the promised land of Jesus? If so, then relax! Hebrews 3 calls us to one simple, life-altering focus: Consider Jesus. In a world full of religious noise, tradition, and performance, it's easy to get distracted and miss the gospel entirely. This message cuts through the confusion, showing the clear contrast between law and grace, servant and Son, striving and rest. It reveals that the real issue is not behavior but belief. For the believer, this is not a warning to fear, but an invitation to rest confidently in Christ. You are not in the wilderness. You're in the promised land. Now live like it. Discussion Questions for Hebrews 3: Why is Jesus compared to Moses in this chapter? To make what point? How does Moses as a "servant" (v.5) and Jesus as a "Son" (v.6) bring even further clarity to the contrast? How might this get you thinking about your own role with God? What does the example of their forefathers in the wilderness for forty years illustrate for the original readers of this epistle? How does the picture of leaving Egypt, being in the desert, and entering the Promised Land clarify the real meaning of "hold fast" and "until the end"? The synonyms "sinned" (v.17) and "disobedient" (v.18) and "unbelief" (v.19) help answer the following question: Is Hebrews warning Christians they will lose their salvation if they commit too many sins? Explain. In light of the truths in these first three chapters, what does it mean to "consider Jesus" (v.1)? What is the biggest thing you have gleaned from this chapter? How might it impact the way you relate to God?

How do you reconcile Revelation 7 and 19 with the church being left behind and not "taken away"? At what point were the Jews no longer doing the right thing with their Temple practices? Also, wasn't righteousness always by faith anyway? Did Martin Luther delete certain books from the Bible? A Catholic person told me that Protestantism is a cult and that Catholicism is the only true faith. How do I respond to this?

Does "like a thief in the night" mean Jesus is returning quietly and secretly? In practical terms, what does it mean to "present your bodies as a living sacrifice" (Romans 12)? How does bearing the fruit of the Spirit in our lives actually happen?

Should we look to Israel as our prophetic time clock? What is eternal life in Hell really like? Is it possible that households are automatically saved after one parent believes? Do I have to read the Bible or are there other, more enjoyable ways for me personally to learn more about the gospel?

Some people in our Bible study think they have to act perfectly sinless to make it to heaven. Are they right? What about after salvation? Do we have to be broken, or crushed, or experience extreme pressure in order to be used by God or enjoy the anointing of the His Spirit?

Might Jesus say "I never knew you" to Christians? What's the difference between God's punishment and His discipline? Can I lose my salvation? Seems like a lot of adult children are abandoning their parents these days!

What does the resurrection mean for us personally? I just got saved recently, and now they say I need the gift of tongues to be truly saved! Why did Jesus ask the rich young ruler, "Why do you call me good?"? Are there two final judgments or only one? What will it be like? My son has joined a cult, and I'm asking you to pray for him! *previously aired

You're a gift from the Father to Jesus… This isn't a gentle introduction to Christianity—it's a full-on courtroom case for why Jesus is better than religion. In this opening message from Hebrews, Andrew dismantles the idea that faith is about balancing law and grace or managing your performance before God. And through His finished work, your sins aren't being managed… they're gone. It's time to quit flirting with religion and rest because of the finished work of Jesus Christ.

Hebrews Warns Unbelievers (NOT Believers) About Neglecting Salvation! Discussion Questions: eb, App, RSS If Jesus is the "exact representation" of God's nature, what does that do to our view of God? How does it impact your view of Jesus to know He is Creator and "upholds all things by the word of His power"? Why is "He sat down" such a loaded phrase after saying He "made purification of sins"?
