Grace Community Fellowship - Sermons

The biggest obstacle to your promise is not a giant, it’s you. God will faithfully lead us to the edge of our promises but until we step obediently into what He has said, nothing will change. But we can have the Heavenly audacity to be strong and courageous because our God is Jehovah Nissi - He goes out as a victory banner, leading us to battle.

God has big plans for our lives! He created us for good works, but we are not to wait around on God to make it happen, we must prepare ourselves to battle for our destiny. The call is to step our feet confidently into the promised land, armed, and unafraid, knowing that God will be with us. What are you waiting for?

Do you sense a Kingdom-sized calling in your life but giants seem to be in the way? Sounds like a promise from God! Although not automatic, His promises are still a Yes in Christ. Our Amen is to look forward with a faith to hold fast to those promises. This week, Pastor Brandon uses three kings to warn against living a life without this sense of destiny.  

Once we hear God speak, we need to agree with Him and hold fast to His Word. The Book of Joshua serves as a picture for us to learn how to walk that out and possess the promises of God. Brandon jump starts the new series with an important lesson that we can share with the Israelites: if you choose not to move on from mourning the death of your Moses, you'll never take the first step towards possessing what’s yours!

As we close this series with the final chapter of 1 John, we learn the simple, life changing truth that a believer in Jesus Christ has the assurance that they are a child of God! This gives us the privilege of accessing heaven and approaching our Father daily who provides us with everything we need to walk boldly in faith, pray with confidence and live in victory!

This week, we learn that our love for God is actually measurable and it’s by our relationships! Our love for other Christians is proof of God’s Spirit living in us so it cannot be something we just talk about, it is something that we must live out! Such a life is evidenced by our generosity, our encouragement, our staying power and our prayers for each other.

We have to be careful of what we take in because what we believe will form who we are. In today’s message, we are reminded to test everything spiritual to ensure it’s lined up with God before moving forward. Brandon gives us three leading lights to help us ensure our spiritual bearing is aligned with God and we’re not drifting off course.

Real love isn’t just a feeling—it’s action, obedience, sacrifice, and connection with God. As we learn to love the way Jesus loved, we grow closer to Him and reflect His heart to the world. Love isn’t optional—it’s the mark of true faith.

God’s lavish love through Christ is our adoption papers into His family, an invitation to future glory. God’s light and love should lead us to be like Him. And when we pursue the Father, it will shape our choices, transform our character and decidedly mark us as children of God.

Many false voices in the world seduce people with materialism and appeal to their senses. Their deception is rooted in the lie that Jesus is A way versus the truth that He is THE Way, the truth and the life. John encourages believers to “remain in Him” and allow the seed of the Kingdom to grow, produce good fruit and reveal genuineness of faith.
