In this powerful sermon titled "Worship Through Work," Chris Rogers explores how our daily labor—whether in the field, office, classroom, or home—is not just routine, but a sacred opportunity to honor God. Part of the ongoing series Present Yourselves: Transformed by a Life of Worship at Grace City Church, this message challenges us to reframe our view of work from a burden to a calling.

Chris walks through Scripture—such as Genesis 2:15 and Colossians 3:23-24—to remind us that God designed work before the fall, and that our jobs are not just for provision, but for purpose. He explains how we can worship God through integrity, diligence, and excellence in our work, and how our workplace can become a mission field where our faith is lived out loud.

With real-life stories from his life as a farmer and a father, Chris illustrates how everyday moments can be acts of worship when surrendered to the Lord. Whether you're a student, parent, entrepreneur, or employee, this sermon will inspire you to bring God into the heart of your work and see it as a holy assignment.

• Why work is not a curse, but a calling

In Week 6 of our series Present Yourselves: Transformed for a Life of Worship, Pastor Chris Zauner brings a timely and challenging message titled "Worship Through Rest." In a culture where exhaustion is worn like a badge of honor, Pastor Chris invites us to reimagine rest—not as a break from productivity, but as an act of worship and surrender to God.

This sermon explores the deep spiritual significance of rest through the lens of Scripture—from God’s rest in creation, to the Sabbath commandment in the Mosaic covenant, to the redefinition of rest in the person of Jesus. Pastor Chris unpacks how rest isn’t just about stopping work; it’s about stopping striving. True rest begins with trust—trust that God is sovereign, that His work is complete, and that we are not defined by what we produce.

Drawing from Matthew 11:28–30, Genesis 2, Exodus 20, and Colossians 2, this message helps us see rest not as a legalistic obligation but as a relational gift. Rest is no longer about law—it’s about living in the freedom, identity, and rhythm Jesus offers. Pastor Chris challenges us to build intentional rhythms of rest in weekly, monthly, and seasonal ways—not to escape our lives, but to fully engage in the presence of God.

If you’ve ever felt tired in soul, burdened by expectations, or unsure how rest fits into your life as a follower of Jesus, this sermon offers clarity, encouragement, and practical vision for what it means to worship through rest. Learn how to let go of striving, embrace your limits, and realign your life with the One who never grows weary.

Welcome to Week 4 of our transformative series Present Yourselves – Transformed for a Life of Worship! In today’s powerful sermon, "Worship in Relationships," Pastor Chris dives deep into the truth that worship isn't limited to Sunday songs or quiet time alone—it's lived out through our relationships, community, and connection with others.

What if worship wasn't just vertical but also horizontal?

In Acts 2:42–47, we see the early church not just attending services, but building life together. Pastor Chris invites us to rediscover worship as something we live out in community, on mission, and in mutual relationship with one another. This message challenges us to resist isolation and embrace God’s design for us: a life of worshiping together—in homes, in conversations, in accountability, and in love.

What does worship look like when life falls apart?
In week 3 of our Present Yourselves series, Pastor Casey Olsen brings a deeply personal and powerful word from Psalm 23 that reminds us: true worship doesn’t wait for the storm to pass — it clings to God in the middle of it.

This message, Worship Through It, is for anyone walking through the valley — depression, grief, uncertainty, or silence from God — and wondering, "Where are you, Lord?" Pastor Casey shares his own story of encountering God in dark seasons and invites us to do the same: to stop striving, start receiving, and find rest in the Shepherd who never leaves.

Welcome to Week 2 of our powerful sermon series: "Present Yourselves – Transformed for a Life of Worship." In this message titled “Worship Together,” Pastor Chris Zauner takes us deeper into what it means to live a life of worship — not alone, but as one body in Christ.

In this message, we explore:

- Why worship is more than a song — it's how we belong

- The transformational truth of 1 Corinthians 12: we are one body with many indispensable parts

- How committing to, connecting within, and loving the Church is central to our worship

- Why isolation contradicts the Gospel — and why we’re better together

- How the Holy Spirit places us into a spiritual family for mission, growth, and healing

Whether you feel disconnected, overlooked, or uncertain of your place, this message will remind you that you are seen, designed, and called by God for community. You don’t have to do life alone — because worship was always meant to be together.

Key Scriptures:

Romans 12:1 – Present your bodies as a living sacrifice...

1 Corinthians 12:12–27 – You are the body of Christ and individually members of it

Ephesians 4 & 5 – Bear with one another in love... Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her

Take the next step in your faith:

✅ Commit to the Church

✅ Connect in Community

✅ Love the Body of Christ

If you’ve been around the Church but never surrendered to Jesus — this message is your invitation to step into a life of belonging, purpose, and spiritual family.

What if worship was never meant to stay in a song? What if it was meant to shape your whole life?

Welcome to the first message in our new sermon series, "Present Yourselves" — a journey into living a life transformed by worship. In this powerful message titled "Worship Fully", Pastor Chris Zauner challenges us to move beyond the idea of worship as just music or moments, and instead embrace it as a posture of surrender — a whole-life response to the mercies of God.

📖 Main Scripture: Romans 12:1–2

"Present your bodies as a living sacrifice... be transformed by the renewing of your mind."

In this message, you'll discover:

✅ Why the gospel is the foundation for true worship

✅ What it means to be a living sacrifice

✅ How worship is about presentation, not perfection

✅ How transformation happens through beholding Jesus

✅ The danger of being conformed to the world — and how to resist it

✅ Why everyone worships something — but only Jesus gave His life for you

Whether you're in a season of struggle, on the mountaintop, or somewhere in between — God is forming you. And worship isn't reserved for Sundays or songs — it's what happens when no one else sees. It's faithfulness in the quiet. It's devotion in the chaos. It's offering your life, moment by moment, to the only One worthy.

🙌 Worship Fully. Live Fully. Be Transformed.

Welcome to the final message in our Essentials series! In this powerful conclusion, Pastor Casey unpacks the fourth and final core value of Grace City Church: Discipleship. More than just a religious buzzword, discipleship is a lifelong journey of following Jesus, being formed by Him, and helping others do the same.

In this message, you’ll discover:

- What it really means to follow Jesus and surrender everything to Him

- Why discipleship isn’t just for the “spiritually mature,” but an invitation to all believers — starting now

- How discipleship connects and completes the other core values: lordship, family, and evangelism

- The three biblical movements of discipleship: Follow. Fish. Fellowship.

- How God shapes us together in community, and sends us out on mission for His glory

Rooted in Matthew 4:18–22, Pastor Casey paints a clear and compelling picture of discipleship as the thread that ties the Christian life together — an ongoing call to surrender daily, live on mission, and walk in family.

Whether you’re a new believer, a long-time Christian, or somewhere in between, this message will bring clarity, conviction, and confidence in your walk with Jesus.

Let’s be a people who immediately drop our nets and respond to His call — not later, but now. Let’s follow Jesus fully. Let’s be a church marked by discipleship.

In this third week of our Essentials series, Pastor Chris Zauner delivers a powerful and practical sermon on Evangelism — the proclamation of the greatest news the world has ever known.

Too often we complicate evangelism or shrink back from it altogether, fearing awkwardness, rejection, or inadequacy. But the gospel is not good advice to be debated — it is good news to be declared. Through Scripture, story, and heartfelt exhortation, Pastor Chris reminds us that evangelism isn’t reserved for the elite or the extroverted — it’s essential for every believer.

Drawing from Romans 10:5–15, this message unpacks the heart of the gospel and why it must not only transform us but also move through us. Pastor Chris breaks down what the gospel is — that God became man in Jesus Christ, lived the perfect life we could not live, died the death we deserved, and rose again, offering salvation to all who repent and believe. It’s not just information to be stored, but transformation to be shared.

Whether you’ve been walking with Jesus for years or you're exploring faith for the first time, this sermon will challenge, equip, and inspire you to see evangelism not as a burden — but as a gift. Learn how to move from intention to precision, from apathy to urgency, and from silence to boldness in proclaiming the good news.

The harvest is plentiful. The time is now. The gospel must go forth. Will you be one who proclaims?

Watch the full message, be encouraged, and get activated for the mission.

Welcome to Week 2 of our Essentials sermon series at Grace City Eugene. In this message titled “Family,” Pastor Chris Zauner explores what it truly means to live as the family of God, united not by preference or convenience, but by the sacrificial love of Jesus.

Looking at John 13, we step into a pivotal moment where Jesus, just hours before the cross, washes His disciples’ feet and gives them a new command:

“Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” – John 13:34-35

This isn't just a nice idea — it's an essential foundation for following Jesus and building healthy, Christ-centered community. Pastor Chris challenges us to reframe our understanding of love and family through the lens of Christ, calling us to live in such a way that the world sees Jesus through our relationships.

In this sermon, we unpack four essential characteristics of Jesus-centered love:

Sacrificial Love – Love that gives, even when it costs.

Unconditional (Covenantal) Love – Love that stays, even when people fall short.

Servant-Hearted Love – Love that humbles itself and serves others.

Truthful & Transforming Love – Love that speaks truth in grace to lead others into freedom.

This message is a call to move beyond observation into participation, to build relationships that are anchored in the gospel and lived out in community.
