FCC Grayson Sermons

After the death of Stephen, resistance immediately arose and the disciples scattered into the surrounding regions. We see the Gospel continue to spread and His Kingdom continue to increase in spite of the persecution threats.

We all live with a gap, the space between who we say we are in Christ and how we actually live. In Acts 5, that gap is exposed. In Acts 7, Stephen shows us what it looks like to close it.

In this sermon from Acts 6:1–7, we look at a turning point in the early church where the enemy changes tactics: from external persecution to internal distraction and division. As Greek-speaking and Hebrew-speaking believers clash over neglected widows, we see a very real, very human church that suddenly isn’t “perfect” anymore, and we learn why that’s actually good news for us.

The early church viewed persecution as a mark of faithfulness. Today, have we compromised for comfort? We must obey God rather than man. When we're truly faithful to Christ, opposition will come, but God's purposes cannot be stopped.

Generosity thrives when distance dies. The early church had one heart, one soul, nothing hidden. We want to look surrendered without being surrendered. But God wants your honesty more than your money. Close the gap between who you are and who you appear to be. Be real.

God didn’t just clear your life... He planted something in you.

In this message, we explore what it means to have Christ, the True Vine, living within us.

If the seed is perfect, why do we still produce “wild fruit”?

This sermon challenges us to stop striving and start abiding, because real transformation comes from yielding to the life of Christ already in us.

Stop settling. Stay connected. Let it grow.

Emptiness is not a positive concept, or word for us, in many areas of our lives. However, on this Resurrection Sunday, we search the scriptures and see that the Empty tomb is the greatest news in all of history.

Luke records a detail about the triumphal entry of Jesus that is different than the other 3 Gospel writers. Instead of recording the detail of the Palm Branches, he introduces another item. While different, it is just as meaningful... then & now.

Under the highest pressure yet, Peter and John continue to speak the name of Jesus & show us what it really looks like to Boldly Down-Down on the message of the Gospel.

The first "normal" day that we see recorded after Pentecost shows us the importance of seeing the hurting and broken all around us.
