Grace Baptist Church

"You will surely die." God gave this promise with the original command not to eat the fruit in the Garden. When Adam and Eve rebelled against the Lord's command, they paved a path that has been trodden by everyone since. Their first son, Cain, was a murderer. The Lord warned him, though. "Sin is crouching at your door, and you must master it." Although our sinful bent will never be totally eradicated in this life, we are given the responsibility and, through Christ, the power to conquer it. May we kill it so that it does not kill us.

Our worship service will focus on the victory we have in Christ. We will jump back into one of the most important chapters in your Bible - Romans 8. In this text, we find that as we live in the Spirit, we can put to death the practices of the flesh and truly live for now and eternity. Praise the Lord for His victory!

Doing well in 2026. Our final message that focuses our attention on the theme for 2026: "Living in the Light of the Lord," shares how we will do well. As we listen to God's Word … not just hearing it, but obeying it, we find that whatever condition we are in. We've been blessed in the Lord. Are you well? Let's consider the light of God's living Word from Peter's counsel in 2 Peter 1:19.

One of the most important verses in your Bible was shared from a dying man to a young disciple whom he led to Christ. This Sunday, we'll listen in to this challenge and it will be a help to challenge us forward in our Christian life as well.

Life is dangerous when walking in the dark, dangerous and fearful. The same is true spiritually. Walking in the light of God's Word brings safety, security and joy. May 2026 be a year of consistently walking in the light of the Lord for each of us!

How do we measure success? How do we achieve success? That's a great thought for us to consider as we embark on a New Year. Let's consider this together from God's perspective in Joshua 1:8 -- one of the most memorized verses in your Bible. Let's unpack this passage and let it motivate us toward God's ways in the New Year!

Merry Christmas! Every Sunday, we celebrate what God has done for us in Christ. This Sunday, we give special attention to our Lord's birth as we celebrate the Lord's birth together. May the Lord bless us with a heart of peace as He has come into our lives, as His peace brings us into the world.

In the Christian family, it is a relief to know that we are always able to have a joyful, pleasant time when we focus on the reason for the Christmas season. When we look back on the family visits of Jesus' birth, we find that same joy. This Sunday we'll look at one of those joyful visits and Mary's prayer that springs from that visit… joy in Jesus!

Advent comes from Latin, meaning arrival. What a blessing to know that Christ has come! And to praise Him for He is coming again! We'll look at our Lord's humbling Himself as a bondservant, bringing us peace by becoming a ransom for all.

As we continue to consider Gospel Centered Thanksgiving. When we are moved from the leper colony of sinful death into the healed human existence of community, forgiveness and grace, we are changed forever and thankful forever.
