Grace Church Waco Sermons

Psalm 147 // Prayer is not simply a duty, but a delight. Adoration is the way we move in prayer towards the truth, goodness, and beauty of God. 

Psalm 112 // As we pray for obedience, Christ helps us by embodying it, sharing its benefits with us, and empowering us to live it out. In Psalm 112 we see three areas where Christ’s obedience fuels our own: blessing, generosity, and confidence.

Psalm 137 // What do we do when we are rightfully angry at injustice or suffering? We must learn, as the Psalmist does, to confront our anger, pray our anger, and release our anger as a response to the victory and compassion of Jesus.

Psalm 51 //

Psalm 13 // For the Christian, lament helps us move to the questions beyond intellectual meaning or understanding, turning towards a greater reality that God has not abandoned us, even when we don’t feel it. In our asking, seeking, and turning to God, we gain personal knowledge of his salvation of God, secured for us in Christ.

Psalm 40 // Trials present opportunities for us to exercise patience, repentance, gratitude for and witness of God’s work, and our hope in the Lord who saves through Christ.

Psalm 22 // Before Psalm 22 becomes the prayer of Christ, it is first a prayer given to the people of God. A prayer for suffering saints, for weary believers, and for those moments when God feels far away. Deliverance begins when faith continues speaking to God in the darkness.

Psalm 100 // Praise is a responsive, personal, and  prophetic physical expression of gratitude towards and worship of God in Christ.

Genesis 11:1-32 // In the story of Babel, we find an example of what happens when we are driven not by the desire for the world to bear the name of Christ but the world to bear our own name. Godless ambition is seeking glory through dependence—but in God's mercy he frustrates our best laid plans and comes down to meet us in Christ, drawing us back to himself.

Genesis 9:18-10:32 // Genesis 9–10 reminds us that salvation from judgment is not the same thing as the full renewal of humanity. Though the flood washed the world, sin, shame, and self-glory still persisted in the human heart. Yet, God’s mercy moves toward human shame to cover it in mercy and preserve His redemptive promise.
