Grace Church Louisville Sermons

The last message of the year, Pastor Johnny wants to give a small highlight of why being equipped to do the work of the ministry is crucial. If we are to live in a counter-cultural way, then it should start in the house of God (the church). Our desire is to see our faith grow. Therefore, at the center of it needs to be 3 things: Gospel, Community and Culture.

God desires us to live life full of joy. Often we get joy and happiness confused and therefore believe it's based upon circumstances. Today's message separates those two out in a way that we can live a life full of joy.

When the Gospel is taken seriously the result is what happens at the church at Thessalonica. Each church must walk through stages of its life in order to see the Gospel flourish. In the world we live in, it requires us to live upside down or counter-cultural, we must embrace what the Gospel is and how the Gospel changes our worldview.

As we wind down the plagues of God flexing over the gods of Egypt we need to be reminded about being distracted by lesser important things at the expense of the greater things. Listen to how we get so easily distracted and what we need to do in order to walk more faithfully.

God is going to show Himself more powerful than any idols that we may create for ourselves. The unfortunate thing is that when God shows Himself to be powerful through the plagues, Pharaoh's heart hardens when the plagues are finished. There is similar understanding for how we walk through life ourselves with the idols we have in our hearts. Listen to this message as we investigate the idols of our heart and the power of God to overcome them.

Pharaoh says God doesn't exist Moses believes that he does. How do we know that God exists? Egypt isn't unlike the world that we currently live in. It is hard for our neighbors, coworkers, and friends to really put trust in a God they do not believe exists. What can we learn from Moses about the existence of God?

When life brings disappointment because it doesn't go the way we want it to - it usually leaves us with one or both questions: Why? And/or How? Moses gets some answers from the Lord. Join us as we discover what God gives us during this season of our life.

You know we don't always win in life, despite what Disney movies show us. Sometimes we follow and obey God and it simply makes things worse. What do you do then? Moses is faced with this exact account. Listen in to see how we can continue following God faced with this situation.
