Grace City Eugene

This week on Beyond the Building, Casey and Chris recap some of our recent service projects in the community, unpack a biblical theology for serving the city around us, and cast vision for future efforts and dreams as we seek to serve Lane County and share the gospel. We also want to invite you to bring your ideas, dreams, and visions for what serve initiatives look like for our church. God has wired each one of us in unique and special ways and we want to create space for you to share your heart for our city. As individuals, we cannot meet the overwhelming needs in the city around us. But together, we can begin making an impact for Christ throughout Lane County.

As usual, Pastor Chris and Casey Olsen dive a little deeper into our Sunday sermon and consider some additional implications and takeaways from Sunday's message. Enjoy!

Pastor Chris brings a great devotional about the opportunity for unity this week in Christ.

Pastor Chris continues our sermon series that has been examining the four themes of Advent. This week we dive into the reality of God's love for humanity - something that we can often forget just how profound it actually is. 

We've got a good one for you today!

Greg and Debbie Mitchell lead Every Nation Vancouver and have been influential in subjects like marriage and parentings to the Grace City family for decades. This week's conversation is primarily centered around the difficult task of raising kids to love and serve Jesus while attending public schools that often contradict Christianity's core values and beliefs. We know that this conversation will bless, encourage, and challenge you to think more intentionally about parenting in our time.

Casey Olsen and Pastor Chris dive into Chris' most recent sermon from our Advent sermon series. The second theme of Advent is Peace, something I think we all could agree our world is in need of.

Casey Olsen is back with The Monday Devotional. Join in as we look at Psalm 9:9 and consider where our strength comes from. 

Pastor Chris continues our Advent sermon O Come, O Come Emmanuel by considering the second theme of Advent: peace. In this message, Pastor Chris explains that we have a peace in Christ that is unlike anything that the world has to offer. Although this peace does not mean we won't run into issues, it does means that we will have the presence of God for them.

For this month's episode of Meet the Family, Pastor Chris sits down with Shadrick Bell, the Lead Pastor of Family Life Church in Austin, TX. Pastor Shad is no stranger to Grace City Eugene by now as he has served with our team on the campus, joined us for our Family Conversation on Race, Racism, and Reconciliation, and has preached on a Sunday. We pray that this conversation blesses you as you get to know Shadrick a little better!

Advent is a season to look back on the miraculous intervention of Jesus Christ in our broken and chaotic world. As we look back, we also find reason to look ahead as we await our coming King who has promised to return and deal the final blow to sin, death, and Satan.

For the first theme of Advent, we are considering how Christ is our reason for hope.
