2 Corinthians 5:1-10 - Speaker: Lukus Counterman - In 2 Corinthians 5, Paul gives his concluding reasons for not losing heart in the face of suffering. He encountered danger and death constantly, yet he wanted to have good courage and confidence in the Lord. The way he did that was by remembering the resurrection and hoping for the day when he would spend eternity with the Lord. It was his future body and his future life with Christ that sustained him in times of affliction. May the Lord focus our attention on the unseen things of eternity and renew our hope in the future he has planned for those who love him.

Psalm 18 - Speaker: Jotham Manoranjan - Psalm 18 is David’s psalm of royal thanksgiving. He writes it as he looks back over decades of running, war, betrayal, and recounts the saving work of God in his life. The psalm traces a simple but profound storyline — Peril → Prayer → Rescue → Praise — as David, overwhelmed by the cords of death and torrents of destruction, cries out and is rescued by the living Lord who moves heaven and earth to save him. Yet the content is too big and too full to refer only to David. Who we find in this Psalm is Jesus Christ.

Psalm 67 - Speaker: DV - To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm. A Song.

May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us, Selah that your way may be known on earth, your saving power among all nations. Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you! Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you judge the peoples with equity and guide the nations upon earth. Selah Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you! The earth has yielded its increase; God, our God, shall bless us. God shall bless us; let all the ends of the earth fear him!

2 Corinthians 4:1-18 - Have you ever felt worn down or beat up in your attempt to follow Jesus? Have you ever tried to minister his word only to be rejected or mocked for talking about a crucified Lord? Paul knew what that was like and in 2 Corinthians 4, he defends both his ministry and his message. He refused to practice underhanded schemes or twist the scriptures for personal gain. Instead, he proclaimed the plain truth in the sight of God. Now, ministry like that may be ignored or opposed, but Paul’s confidence was in the Creator who makes new creations. Instead of weakness and suffering being disqualifying features, Paul claimed that genuine gospel ministry is marked by power in weakness and life in death. In the end, the apostle encourages all of us not to lose heart because our great God can use momentary affliction to produce for us an eternal weight of glory. So may we continue following in the steps of our Lord proclaiming his name to all who will hear.

- Speaker: Lukus Counterman - In this session we will talk about the why, when, and how of 3 services in 2026. It’s not just about adding more people or another service. It’s about the pursuit of unity, continued evangelism, and meaningful membership.

2 Corinthians 3:1-18 - Speaker: Lukus Counterman - In 2Cor. 3 Paul finishes the defense of his ministerial status and explains the New Covenant work of the Spirit. He explains to the Corinthians that he is a genuine minister, with a more glorious message, that is creating a transformed community. Paul wants the church to accept him and embrace the surpassing glory of the New Covenant. And it’s because he knows that those who turn to the Lord will be transformed into his image. So, may God change each of us as we gaze into the light of the gospel in the face of Jesus Christ.

Colossians 1:28-29 - Speaker: Jon Kopp - Behind the title of this series is an assumption: Gospel Grace is at a crossroads. More and more people are gathering in worship and growing in community. There is an exciting buzz of momentum around what God is doing here, and there are few places across our ministry where we aren’t having to adjust and make room. The question is: what is next? As we chart a way forward, we want to clarify and emphasize not just what we are going to do, but how we are going to do it.
