Grace Church: Sermons

In which we try to respond to all the most frequently asked questions about our upcoming MicroChurch transition.

The Gospel of the Kingdom of God is an invitation to a new way of life. And not just on Sundays, but in every hour of every day.

Paul spent the first three chapters telling the narrative of what God has done, but then in chapter 4 there’s this transition toward us and what we are to do and he’s finally begun to answer that question: How do we church?

Ephesians 4:1-16

Ephesians 3:14-21

The cure for division is to center on Christ, who is our peace, who in his flesh tore down the wall of hostility which separate us. Christ, who is gathering all things in heaven and things on earth, is drawing all people to Himself to be built together into a dwelling place for God, and He himself is our cornerstone. Without him as our center of gravity, it all falls apart. (Ephesians 2:11-22)

Ephesians is about ecclesiology, the church. What should the church look like, who are we? If there’s any question this letter is in response to it is simply this: “But how do we, the church, live, right here, right now?”

We humans are so desperate to see where God is because, I think, we intuitively understand that if we can find Him we will be OK. (2 Cor. 12:2-10)

Pastor Wilma Johnson brought a word about transition that is very timely and relevant to our recent announcement. I (Zack) apologize for the audio quality on this episode. I dropped the SD card it was recorded to into an abyss and haven’t yet been able to locate it. This audio is directly from the camera microphone and will be challenging to listen to at times, but I hope you’ll give it a listen anyway!
