Grace Assembly Sermon Series

Beginning with Matthew 6, Pastor John points out if we’re hung up on materialistic stuff, then we have little faith. Those were Jesus’ words, not his. But if we can have little faith, we must also be able to posses and demonstrate great faith.

Starting what will be a multi-week message, Pastor John lays the groundwork of moving to megafaith by pointing out we need to first seek the kingdom of heaven and His good will.

Pastor John reminds us that the devil does his best to get us to believe a lie. When we start aligning ourselves with anti-scriptural truths, we open our head and emotions to Satan. Pastor John points out that when we do this, we can easily miss what God wants us to see. Instead Pastor John points out key objective truths we must embrace.

Drawing from both personal experience and the Word, founding Pastor Michael Oney visits today and gives a message about the sacred nature of marriage. Jesus makes this very clear in Matthew 19. Therefore, Pastor Mike focuses on three key principles for successful marriages and protecting this sacracy:

Learn how to forgive;

Learn to pursue each other;

Learn to apply Godly wisdom.

Looking to king Asa, Pastor John warns us how easy it is to grow weary doing good, to embrace our circumstances,  and to stop seeking the Lord. When our back is against the wall we often embrace worldly solutions and neglect going to the Lord about it. Instead Pastor John reminds us to rely on the Lord because He seeks to “strongly support those whose heart is completely His.”

Today was a time of testimony about recent miracles performed by the Lord.  It was also a time of intercession and exhortation to stand in faith and pursue His perfect promises and blessings toc come.

Today Pastor John reminds us that Jesus never told us to do life on our own. In fact, He made us one with HIm and He keeps us. And if each of us is one with Him, we are one with each other. Especially since He is assembling us together into the dwelling place for His Holy Spirit.

Today the Lord interrupts us to remind us that it is for freedom He has set us free. And while we may know salvation, He warns us we still may not be walking in liberty.  His desire is to remove ALL of the bands wrapped around our hearts.

Going to 2 Corinthians 3, Pastor John reminds us we are all saved by God's grace in order  to keep us from thinking too much about ourselves. And we must be careful or our misapplication of the word will move us into a ministry of condemnation. Instead of a ministry of death, we must serve in ministries of life and reconciliation with unveiled faces.

Sherie Turner brings a word from the Lord this morning and the story of David and Goliath. While it may be familiar text to us, Sherie brings a new perspective as well as her zeal and passion to what we need to understand about our own faith through David’s.  She reminds us that when we go into battle, we must not put on the wrong armor before we face our giants.

Happy New Year! And God bless!

Contrary to his own thoughts and habits, Pastor John discusses a number of New Year's Resolutions he feels the Lord has given the body, He has given us. Going to Romans 12:9-21, Pastor John outlines several resolutions, or commands, the Lord gives us, and are necessary, to help and benefit us.
