Grace Church Waco Sermons

Luke 9:51-62 // Jesus’ mission in the world brought a specific call, cost and conclusion that we must embrace if we are to follow him. We must learn to say no to shortcuts, leave behind what is good for what is best, and prepare for our great homecoming with Jesus.

Luke 9:37-50 // It is an incredible thing to be called to follow Jesus. But we must be careful not to equate the kingdom of God with an earthly "Inner Ring" by desiring power, position, or acceptance in the wrong way. In the gospel, we are invited to belong through simple faith like a child.

Luke 9:28-36 // Jesus is one who loves you, who is sufficient for you, and is worthy of your very life, to be listened to.

Luke 9:18-27 // To correctly identify the mission and identity of Jesus is to follow him into it. Take up again your cross, following Jesus Christ, and save your life.

Luke 9:10-17 // In this famous passage, we are invited by Jesus himself to feast in the kingdom of God. We learn about his invitation, his provision, and how we can partake in this feast with him.

Luke 9:1-9 // Jesus calls his disciples to share his mission; Jesus empowers his disciples for the mission; Jesus instructs his disciples concerning the mission; Jesus sends his disciples into his mission.

2 Timothy 2:8a // The most important advice we can receive in a world of suffering and blood might be the simplest: remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead.

Luke 8:40-56 // King Jesus has life in himself, King Jesus has power over death, King Jesus has come to save us.

Luke 8:26-39 // There is no storm of your heart that cannot be calmed by the power of Jesus, no undignified act or thought that cannot be rehumanized.

Luke 8:22-25 // As disciples of Jesus, to rightly answer the question, “Who then is this, that he commands even winds and water, and they obey him,” is to commit ourselves to total trust and obedience to Jesus, even in the midst of the storm.
