Grace Assembly Sermon Series

Happy Easter! It is finished and He is risen!!

The children start service with a special offering of song - Thank You Jesus For The Blood.

The Dance Team then celebrates Jesus’ work with a special dance of Death Was Arrested.

Pastor John begins with the burial and resurrection of Jesus detailed in John 19 and 20 and points out the hidden treasure available to all of us. Have you found it? It's Jesus. What are you willing to give up for it? For Him?

Pastor Gary Leonard, who is called to be an encourager, brings a special message of inspiration to us today. He shares from the Lord, Be uplifted!, and know it's only going to get worse!

Gary reminds us that we have to learn to be okay with that. In the midst of it getting worse we need to run to God, share an embrace, and count it all joy regardless of how bad it feels to us.

And no matter what we go through, He is still in control and always with us.

Pastor Les Lawrence shares a message today that has been on his heart for some time now. Starting in Revelation and then going through a series of other scriptures, Pastor Les demonstrates that Biblical text reveals how Jesus has been, is, and will be the paramount key in all that God is showing us.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to capitalize on everything God has in store for us while we are still on this side of heaven? Jesus is the perfect lifestyle; we can't do better than that.

So what more can we do other than love the Lord and surrender everything to Him. Just like He did and does for us.

Even though we may be free, there can be something in our life that remains opposed to the Spirit. Pastor John looks into Galatians 5 and Ephesians 3 to help us learn to love instead of being consumed by our sins. Then we can experience the fullness of God.

Service begins with Kourtney and Alex Kearney dedicating their baby Raelynn Sue Kearney to the Lord.

Pastor John continues in Romans 8, reminding us despite how hard life may seem, any sufferings we go through now pales to the glory God has in store for His children. All of us, even creation, wait in great expectation for the beauty to come. Yet we are not alone in this time of frustration - the Lord's Spirit Himself gives us help as He works in and on us.

Pastor John starts service by welcoming the rest of our new members. We then celebrate the dedication of Eli and Morgan Brown's baby girl Kinsley to the Lord.

Returning to Romans 8, Pastor John reminds us that our flesh, our self, can easily hinder our spiritual growth. Instead we have to live by the Word, for others, and give our lives to them. Just as He did for us.

Service starts with special music from the Dance team, celebrating who we are in Christ. Pastor John then recognizes and welcomes a bevy of new members to the church.

Then starting in 1 John 2:15-20, Pastor John reminds us how easy it is to fall into this world’s temptation - simply by doing nothing and wanting our own way. Instead we must learn how to align ourselves with the Spirit. Going to Romans 8, Pastor John points out how our struggle with the flesh is really a battle against our self.

Even though we are redeemed, we are still in a broken, dark world. Further, all of our brokenness may not have gone away when we were saved. Pastor John reminds us that even so the Lord wants to deal with our brokenness.

Going to Romans 8, he begins to point out that nothing can stop the will of God to make us whole. And even if words fail Him, the Spirit intercedes on our behalf.

Pastor John reminds us God is working; God is always working. What we may miss is that He's working in you. Since the first time you asked for forgiveness until your last breath, the Lord's Spirit is at work in you. But before He fills us, He needs to empty us. Pastor John then instructs us that we need to understand how to grow.
