Easter 2017 - Using "The Case for Christ" as our Easter series backdrop today we hear from Lee Strobel as he shares his impressions of the movie based upon his salvation story. Drawing a few thoughts we apply the grace of God to ourselves.

Using the "Case for Christ" movie as a backdrop for our Easter message series, we begin by "Investigating" some challenges people face in their journey to fully embracing Jesus by faith.

The Apostle Paul instructs Titus to "observe" the relationships of potential elders. It is through a man's relationship with his wife, children, others and the Word of God that you will see whether or not he can lead the church. Good litmus test for church leaders!

As Titus rolls out the Apostle Paul's strategic plan, for the believers on Crete to live lives that honor God, he begins by appointing godly leadership in the churches... Titus 1:5-9. Today, we look simply at the word "Elders" to see what church leadership is to be like. This one little word reveals a wealth of important information!

We begin "exposing" the text this week and see the challenge Paul gives to Titus to be faithful to his Mission no matter how Impossible it may seem. Duty, Honor, and the Gospel message is the Christian Rallying call to faithfulness in this life to Jesus Christ our LORD. May we be found faithful!

Today, we begin a new expository study in the book of Titus. This message is an "Overview" to help us orient ourselves to read through the book and study it well together. The goal is that we would be more godly in Christ Jesus as a result! Join us on this journey - live Sunday mornings @ 9 and 11 - Grace Church, 13000 Zekiah Dr. Waldorf, MD 20601

Concluding our message series - Gospel Shaped Living - "How to be the Church in the World". Looking at Galatians 5:16-6:3 we consider why there is such a gap between God's desires for us and the reality in our lives. Flesh vs. Spirit!

Suffering is inevitable. Various worldviews have different ways to explain and cope with suffering. We will look at the CROSS of Jesus Christ and see not only how to suffer well but also how the CROSS crushes and destroys all the other worldviews. Especially, our secular worldview of hopelessness.

Gospel Shaped Living - is about being saved by God's gospel of grace and then being shaped by it so we can effectively share it with others as God's unique community (humanity) in earth. Today, contrast the greatness and mission of the world with the Kingdom of God. Wow. What a contrast!

Truth is not a battle we win merely by making a better argument. It is a battle we win by living a better life - a life of love! Biblical community is the final apologetic for a lost and skeptical world. Let KNOW the truth, so, we can LIVE the truth, so we can share THE TRUTH in love.
