Light for Today, Love For Forever by Grace Chapel Sermon Media

The series concludes with an Easter message focused on the doxology, “For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.” Jesus, the Resurrected King, came to heal and transform hearts and lives, and the whole world. Then, he invited the disciples to go and do the same. Jesus’ resurrection brings about God’s kingdom and power and glory.

Key Scripture: Matthew 6:9-13 ; Matthew 28:1-10

A Ride to Reconciliation by Grace Chapel Sermon Media

Scripture: 1 Cor 1:9, Lamentations 3:22-23, Ephesians (Paul's goodbyes to the Ephesians),

We’ll look at the third line of the prayer, “Give us this day our daily bread.” There’s an important Greek word, epiousian, translated as “daily.” It’s a word that reminds us of what is essential. We’re praying in part for the bread that feeds our bodies, and even more, our souls. How does Christ satisfy our hungry souls?

We’ll focus on three sections of the first line, “Our Father,” then “who art in heaven,” and “hallowed be thy name.” What did Jesus mean by these phrases? Through us, people see God, our Father who is in heaven, holy and good, present and real. In your life, are you hallowing God’s name? What do others know of God by watching you?

Key Scripture: Matthew 6:9-13 (NIV)

We’ll begin this series with an introduction to the Lord’s Prayer and the disciple’s request, “Lord, teach us to pray.” How do we integrate prayer (including the Lord’s prayer) into our daily lives (consider ora et labora) to shape us and through us, the world. Provide tools for praying the Lord’s pray throughout Lent (see NT Wright). Luke 11:1; Matthew 6:9-13 (NIV/NLT)

Some people change the atmosphere just by walking into a room. But what happens when God walks in?

In Ezekiel 43, after 20 years of silence, God's glory returns to the temple, bringing hope, renewal, and life—just like a river making a barren wasteland flourish. As followers of Jesus, we’re called to do the same.

Vision makes us come alive. Ezekiel’s vision of the dry bones coming to life symbolizes the power of God’s Spirit to bring new life to what seems dead and hopeless. God provides vision that revives us. And so what is the vision for our personal lives that we pursue? What about our community? Vision requires a compelling vision and then the need to inspire people to pursue it (Kotter).

Many have deconstructed their faith, left religion, or the church behind. To some, it feels irrelevant, outdated, and for some involves trauma and hurt. What if the problem isn’t belief, but how religion has been practiced. Most churches worry about budgets and growth; but Jesus influenced and cast compelling vision. What kind of faith would draw people to Jesus and to the church? This sermon will make best case for finding and following Jesus.

Key Scripture:

Matthew 23:1-7, 11-12 (Jesus criticizes the religious leaders who don’t practice what they preach, put unbearable demands on people); Matthew 22:36-37 (Love the Lord your God); Philippians 1:9-10 (love that we might become richer with knowledge and insight)
