John 1:14-18

This Sunday we will begin a NEW Sermon Series as we take a deeper look at Grace Community Church's Philosophy of Ministry.  Specifically, this Sunday we will dig into our desire to be "Captivated with the Glory of God..." In addition to often stealing God's Glory (intentionally and unintentionally), we so quickly turn to alternative means to elevate and glorify ... as we search for temporary meaning in this life.

Digging into the Foundations and Direction of our Church Plant, plus a TIE-IN our "Plus 1 Campaign" with each component of our Vision, Mission, and Core Values!!!

Jonah 4:5-11

The conclusion of our 12-week study in the book of Jonah looks at God’s continued “Un-Relenting Grace” for both Jonah and the Worst of the Worst. Jonah, the Prophet, continues his posture of digging in and pitiful self-Loathing.

Jonah 4:1-4

Jonah’s Anger and God’s UnRelenting Grace.

Rev. Neil Gilmour Jonah 3: 1-10 

Nineveh was one of the 4 largest cities in the world of its day. It belonged to an empire that was the world ruler of its generation. Greatness - power - affluence - religiosity. Yet like the rest of us they epitomized Genesis 6: 5.

1 Samuel 16:1, 6-13

Rev. Jim Bland talked about the grace of God in the life of King David. He was known as a man with a heart for God. It is remarkable how closely our lives tend to parallel that of David. We see this in the choosing of David by God, his empowerment for service, as well as David’s brokenness, repentance and restoration. Remembering God’s gracious dealing with David should motivate us to be obedient men and women, after God’s own heart.

Jonah 2:8-10

After living in the belly of the large fish for three days, in a hopeless situation, God intervenes a second time and Jonah experiences firsthand the cry of his heart. This salvation was given to Jonah and is available to us as well.

Jim Bland preaches from Jonah 2:1-9

Four thoughts on what it will take for Jonah … and for each of us!

* Jonah’s Plight

* Jonah’s Relationship with God Confirmed

* Jonah’s Rescue

* Jonah’s Response

Jonah 1:17
Jonah’s running from God has come to an end and resulted in an unlikely place of Refuge, a three-day Shelter, marinating inside the stomach gastric juices of a large fish.  And the comforting truth of this story is that God had Jonah exactly right where He wanted him.  It was God’s Grace that brought this fish to swallow Jonah as he sank down deep into the waters; It was God’s Grace and merciful fatherly love that brought this respite of discipline.  Come journey with us as we take a look at God’s use of Correction for Jonah and for us…simply because He is passionately in love with us!

Jonah 1:11-16

In God’s Sovereignty, His plans will come to fruition, so sometimes the amount of discomfort and pain you go through is up to you! You can increase your pain by seeing yourself as the atoning sacrifice or you can REST in the Perfect Lamb, who has already been sacrificed on your behalf. Come journey with us as we continue to look at the story of Jonah and God’s Un-Relenting Grace!

We consider Paul's words on the Resurrection from 1 Corinthians 15:1-11; 19-22.

 BELIEVE – Everyone believes in SomeTHING, and if you are fortunate, you may also believe in SomeONE! What we believe in directs our every thought and every move we make … for that which we believe in MOST provides the direction for ALL of Life. Come Journey with us as we look into the Event that Changed ALL of Human History and really does have the power to change … even us!
