Grace Central Coast

Tim Theule | Joshua 1:1-11 | 06/03/2018

Celebrate Grace is our annual meeting at Grace Central Coast, where we celebrate all that God is doing in the life of our church. It's a time to look back with thanksgiving and look forward by faith. Joshua 1:1-11 is this year's challenge as we head into a new season together as a church.

Tim Theule | 1 Thessalonians 5:14-15 | 05/27/2018

Paul wraps up his first letter to the Thessalonians with a series of reminders about what the family of God in the local church is and does together. Fitting reminders for us at Grace Central Coast on a Baptism Sunday.

Is anyone today afraid of judgment?  The Thessalonians were.  Here Paul writes to assure them that, while judgment is definitely coming, it will not be their future, because Christ the judge died so that they might live together with Him.

Tim Theule | 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 | 05/13/2018

The coming of the Lord is meant to be a comfort for God's people, but too often it has become a subject for speculation and debate.  Here we continue our study of First Thessalonians with a look and exploration of all we learn about the coming of the Lord in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.

Tim Theule | 1 Thessalonians 4:9-12 | 05/06/2018

The Gospel applies to all of life. Here in 1 Thessalonians 4:9-12, the Apostle Paul reminds us that our work is an expression of both our love for one another and our witness to the world.

Tim Theule | 1 Thessalonians 3:11-4:8 | 04/29/2018

The Bible is timelessly relevant!  We continue our Marks of a Missional Church series in the book of First Thessalonians with an exploration of Paul's call to sexual holiness.   Sex is one of God's good gifts, but because of the fall sex has been distorted, broken, misused and abused.  The Bible's teaching in this area was just as radical in the first century as it is in the 21st century.

A Heart for God's People

What comes to mind when you read, 'Relationships'? It's likely a mix of dreams & difficulties, beauty & brokenness, hopes & hardships. But do you also think of relationships as transformational? Gospel-fueled relationships transformed Thessalonica and they can transform the Central Coast as well.

Tim Theule | 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 | 04/08/2018

We kick off our study of First Thessalonians with a look at the first chapter as Paul reminds this young church who they are in God and affirms how they are living for God.  We have much to learn from this missional church!

Tim Theule | 1 Peter 1:3-9 | 4/1/2018

Hope! Our souls desperately need it and long for it. The resurrection of Jesus is described in the Bible as a 'living hope.' What does that mean? Why does it matter? How can we get it?
