For 21 years, we've seen God do incredible things through Grace Church. But what really makes a church last? It's not the buildings, programs, or number of people attending. It's people whose lives have been changed by Jesus and who are committed to helping others experience that same transformation. In this message, Sean Sears challenges us to look beyond simply attending church and consider the role each of us plays in carrying its mission forward for generations to come.
Following Jesus isn't always easy, especially when the world around you doesn't share your beliefs. It's one thing to trust God when life is going well, but what happens when you're facing pressure, frustration, or circumstances beyond your control? The challenges you face don't have to determine how you live or pull you further from God. You can learn to respond differently, let go of what you can't control, and trust that God is still working through it all. Discover how to stand strong in your faith by depending on the God who promises to strengthen you.
It's easy to get so caught up in what's happening in our lives that we lose sight of what God wants to do through us. But what if your life is part of something much bigger than you realize? Discover how seeing your life as part of God's bigger story can change your perspective, give you confidence in difficult seasons, and help you live with greater purpose right where you are.
We only get one life, but how often do we stop and think about how we're spending it? With so many things competing for our time and attention, it's easy to stay busy without considering what really matters. What if making the most of your life isn't about doing more, but being more intentional with what you've already been given? Discover what makes a life meaningful and how to invest the time, energy, and opportunities God has given you in things that truly matter.
Doing the right thing doesn’t always lead to the outcome you hoped for. Sometimes it costs you, and that can make you wonder if you made the wrong decision. But a difficult outcome doesn’t mean the right choice was the wrong one. Whether you’re afraid of what doing the right thing might cost or already dealing with the fallout, discover how to keep fear from making the decision for you and trust God with what happens next.
It’s easy to be kind to people who are kind to you. But what happens when someone treats you unfairly, disrespects you, or refuses to change? Our instinct may be to fight back, demand respect, or make sure they don’t get away with it, but following Jesus requires something different from us. In this message, discover what the Bible says about doing what’s right when someone else isn’t, why you don’t have to get even, and how your response can point people to Jesus.
Following Jesus means becoming part of something bigger than yourself, but it’s not always obvious where you fit into the picture. In this message, discover what it means to be part of what God is doing, how your life can help others see who He is, and why the way you live matters. If you’ve ever wondered where you fit or what God wants for your life, this message can help bring some clarity.
Why do we keep going back to the same old habits, reactions, and patterns even when we want to live differently? Some struggles have been part of our lives for so long that they can start to feel like they’re simply who we are. In this message, discover how following Jesus changes the way you see your past, why old patterns don’t have to define your future, and how you can start taking practical steps toward living differently.
Following Jesus won’t always fit neatly with the culture around you. Sometimes what you believe or how you choose to live won’t make sense to the people around you, and that can make it tempting to compromise or simply go along with everyone else. In this message, discover how knowing who you belong to can help you stay grounded in your faith and be okay when following Jesus means you don’t quite fit in.
Faith can easily become something personal—going to church, learning more about God, and trying to grow ourselves. But following Jesus was never meant to stop with us. In this message, discover how helping someone else take a step toward God can be simpler and more natural than you might think, how God can use the relationships you already have, and why a simple invitation can make a bigger difference than you realize. You don’t need to have all the answers or have everything figured out. Sometimes it starts by simply bringing someone with you.
