SERMON ARCHIVE
A broad thematic series that defines God’s Love
Understanding God’s Love = defined, displayed (3 Parts) – the idea is that before we can reflect God’s love towards others, we must know God’s love ourselves. When we fail to love others, it is almost always due to us not receiving or understanding God’s love for us.
Reflecting God’s Love = once we understand God’s love for us, then we can reflect that love towards others in a variety of ways. These sermons will cover topics such as: loving other Christians, loving God, loving in the context of church, in earnestness, hospitality, church discipline, marriage, and towards enemies.
Three Big Questions: Question #1: In relation to government, what are we to do? Question #2: In relation to government, why are we to submit? Question #3: In relation to government, how are we to live as dual citizens?
John’s stated purpose for writing the gospel is found in John 20:30-31, “that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and by believing you may have life in his name.” John wants his readers to believe, to believe rightly, and to have life. This gospel helps people: find faith, defend faith, live our faith, express their faith to others, and keep the faith.
In this series, moving through selected passages in Revelation, Pastor James shows how scripture describes a end time view of Jesus in His full glory.
This series covers topics such as: the inspiration, inerrancy, authority, and sufficiency of scripture; the importance of God’s word being preached properly in the context of corporate worship, and then why and how to test the biblical messages we receive.
From the theme of 1 Peter was “Stand Firm” and in this series Jonah has lessons that we learn when we don’t stand firm.
This series highlights some truths about our King Jesus. This is a short series leading up to Christmas----the focus is Jesus!
The series addresses standing firm in Christ during our time here on Earth as “strangers.” The goal of this letter is stated in
1 Peter 5:12---“By Silvanus, a faithful brother as I regard him, I have written briefly to you, exhorting and declaring that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it.” So, Peter helps us know how to stand firm…. it is very practical! In order to help us stand firm Peter gives to us a word of declaration (1:1-12) and then a word of exhortation (1:13-5:14).
The series addresses the need to refocus upon our God given vision as a church. We all need this recasting focus, especially after the trials we have experienced. Pray that this will minister to many people and will encourage many hearts as they see our church body striving to be everything God has called us to be. It will also help inform and direct future practices.
The series is going to address the topic of trials in the lives of believers. Pray that this will minister to many hurting and questioning hearts during a really tough year. This series will also help set the stage for 1 Peter. Peter doesn’t give a theology of trial and suffering (which this series will do) but gives to us help, as we move through a life of trial and suffering as sojourners.
This series addresses the topic of Jesus as King according to Matthew. Pray that we will come to recognize, submit to, and worship King Jesus as He deserves
We are called to evangelize the spiritually dead (see Ephesians 2). Because the people we are called to share the Gospel with are dead, there are specific challenges that accompany such a task. This series is intended to help people know how to talk to the dead in a biblically responsible way.
In the book of Hebrews we find a series of 4 major warnings that encourage perseverance of faith. These warnings give structure to the book as a whole. We are to heed the warnings given here. The warnings are to genuine believers and God uses them as a means to assure perseverance.
One of the things that people struggle with most in life is determining what success is or isn’t. A wrong view of success will inevitably lead people down a road of pride or burn out. In this two-part sermon series, we look to Luke 19:11-27 and find a biblical definition of success that will free people to live life in a truly successful way that honors God and brings great joy.
Conflict is going to explore the topic of conflict among believers. This covers James chapter 3 moving into chapter 4. James, after having dealt with true and false faith, moves into the topic of conflict and specifically what impacts conflict even among believers.
This series is going to explore the topic of worship. It will begin by looking at worship more broadly and personally and then move to discuss corporate church worship.
Secrets of the Kingdom Revealed
This series moves through Matthew chapter 13 and covers his teaching on previously hidden Kingdom truths.
Serving expands and explains the details of part of our purpose statement. “Grace church exists to glorify God through…. serving others…” Our primary text throughout the series will be Luke 10:26-37.
This series moves through the Genesis narrative in two parts. Part #1 will cover chapters 1-11, A Sovereign God. Part #2 will cover chapters 12-50, A Special people. Part #1 moves through 4 major sections: creation, corruption, condemnation, and confusion. Genesis answers such questions as: Who made us?; Who is worthy of our worship and why?; How should we relate to this God?; How does this God relate to us in our sin?; and What happened to this world? It also provides the foundation of the Gospel message. Part #2, A Special people, moves through Genesis 12-50. We see how God calls out and uses a special people to reclaim His Kingdom, unveil His glory, and teach the gospel. We focus on four of those called-out individuals: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph.
Things That Keep Us From Jesus
The idea here is that there are things/beliefs/actions that we may think may bring us closer to God when, in reality, they drive us further from God. In this series, we will identify some of these things and call people to the Gospel.
The Core explains and casts vision for our church. We break down the following statement “Grace church exists to glorify God by upholding the gospel, making disciples, serving others, and providing community.
This series moves through “the Lord’s prayer” in Matthew 6:5-18. In this series we learn that Jesus gives to us not just a prayer to pray but a model to follow. Jesus actually teaches us how to pray!
This series addresses the topic of God’s beautiful design for women. This is basically a “man card” series for women.
This series goes through the second part of Romans. The point is to help us understand that we are all sinners but that God declares us righteous by grace through faith in Christ.
This series goes through the first part of Romans. The point is to help us understand that we are all sinners in need of a Savior.
This Segment goes through the fourth part of Romans.
This series goes through the third part of Romans. The point is to help us understand that God makes us more and more like Jesus; He doesn’t birth us and then leave us alone without change. Paul addresses 3 major issues: 1. How you respond to grace in regard to Christian living—chap. 6:1-7:6; 2. How you understand the law in regard to Christian living—chap. 7:7-25; 3. How the Spirit conforms you in regard to Christian living—chap. 8
Twisted addresses the topic of God. There are many “twisted” things people say about God that they really believe are correct. So, are there reliable answers to who God is that keeps us from subjectively defining Him and from idolatry? YES!
Seven Letters moves through the letters to the 7 churches in revelation. As God speaks to them, He also speaks, corrects, warns, and encourages us. If Jesus wrote a letter to Grace Church, what would it say?
This series addresses the topic of suffering in the life of Job and draws out a summative lesson from each passage.
Kingdom addresses the topic of God’s Kingdom during its current manifestation. Kingdom most basically refers to the rule of Jesus. What’s meant by current manifestation is that the Kingdom has been inaugurated by Jesus but not fully consummated (or completed) yet. So, what does Kingdom life, Kingdom power, and Kingdom mission look like for us. We examine this topic as we move through the book of Acts in 14 sermons (6 sermons on Kingdom life, 5 on Kingdom power, and 3 on Kingdom mission).
This Series is to redefine the concept of “man card” to fit into a Christian context. We will discover what God’s rules for having your man card revoked are.
When Jesus Isn’t What You Expected
This sermon series moves through Matthew chapters 11 &12 in eight sermons. In this series we discuss things that keep or hinder people's faith in Jesus.
This sermon series covering Matthew 10 moves believers through Jesus's teaching on ministry preparation.
In this series we are looking at these really dysfunctional passages that most people scratch their heads over. We will learn how to handle such passages and that they do have a purpose in our lives.
This series moves through selected passages in the book of Revelation. We find God's "end game" and the unveiling of Jesus in all His glory.
This series moves through multiple biblical texts highlighting the Gospel narrative of God-Man-Christ-Response-Completion.
It Ain’t All Ponies & Rainbows
Moving through selected passages, Pastor James tackles some of the difficult things Jesus calls believers to practice in regard to relationships.
This series moves through multiple biblical texts to show how believers are to relate to each other within the Church.
Jonah: Lessons Learned From a Fallen Prophet
This series is titled “Lessens Learned from a Fallen Prophet.” Here we learn lessens such as: anyone can fall; sin is expensive; you can’t outrun God; how to make a comeback; God’s grace is bigger than our sin; and God’s mercy is greater than ours.
This sermon series moves through Exodus 20 covering the Ten Commandments.
This series is about discipleship. What does it mean to be a real disciple of Jesus? It moves through Matthew 16 & 17.
Vital signs are used in the medical world to measure a patient’s basic health and functions. Just as a physical body has vital signs of health, so does the Church. In this series we look at the vital signs of a healthy church such as: identity; doctrine; preaching; drive; leadership; committed community; accountability; church discipline; and effective evangelistic engagement.
