Grace Fellowship Sermons

Life has a way of pressing us into corners we never expected -- moments that feel desperate, powerless to change circumstances. Today, we will see Jesus meet two people in crisis and turns their desperation into a divine appointment that reveal His nearness, His compassion, and His unmatched power. If you feel far from Christ today, we urge you to trust Him anew today.

In our passage for today, Jesus steps onto Gentile soil and meets a man whose life has been led into ruin. The scene reveals both the depth of human bondage and the unmatched authority of Christ to restore what the enemy of our souls takes. Today we will see how Christ breaks chains and transforms a man from ruin to being a witness.

What one believes can never be hidden because what one does always reveals his or her belief. Today we will see how a missing belief produces deficient action, but we will also be reminded that what is missing can indeed be found.

God has a 100% harvest rate on every seed he plants in his children. This morning we will see how Jesus makes this clear in his definition of what makes a true member of God’s family.

Light is never neutral—it always acts, either guiding the way forward or exposing what’s been hidden. And everyone responds to God’s light: some shine it, others ignore it, and still others try to hide it. But Jesus insists the lamp of His Word belongs on a stand, visible to all, and the way you handle that light now will determine what God does with you later.

We value asking questions to better understand how to live life in a God-centered, Christ-exalting way. We believe that church should be the best place in which people can get solid answers to life’s questions from God’s Word 1. (01:20) I have some seasons where it gets extremely hard to resist certain sins, and I feel as though I’m stuck. It feels like lifting mountains at times to resist. What do I do? 2. (14:40) How do you release and turn over control to God for your adult children? It’s difficult to watch them struggle and/or make bad decisions and not want to come to their rescue. As a parent of more than one child, you see one making all the right decisions and the other seeming to flounder. They need to learn to stand on their own two feet and reap the consequences of their action, but how does a parent manage this? 3. (25:38) We heard at a recent event that Charlie Kirk's wife forgave his killer. I’ve recently heard that forgiveness is only when the person comes to you and asks for forgiveness. That it is transactional. Therefore, you cannot forgive someone until they have come to you with repentance and asking for forgiveness. Is this true? I know you can be in the Word and pray to not be bitter or angry toward the person, but is that forgiveness?

Jesus tells a simple story—a farmer, some seed, a field. Yet through this ordinary scene, He exposes the condition of the human heart. The issue is not the life within the seed but the condition of the soil. Jesus’ parable drives home this truth: what you do with God’s Word now determines what God’s Word will do in you later.

What one does or does not do is always a reflection of what one sees and believes Today, we will consider how one's response to Jesus shows what he or she sees when looking upon the savior.

Though we may have eyes to see, we don’t all see the same things. Today we will consider the implications of the reality that not all who look upon Jesus, and even recognize his greatness, end up seeing who he truly is.

We live in a culture quick to criticize. If the message feels too harsh, we dismiss it. If it feels too soft, we mock it. That's exactly what Jesus saw in His generation-they rejected John for fasting and Him for feasting. The issue wasn't style but stubborn hearts. Today, we'll see the folly of demanding God play our tune, and how wisdom is revealed in changed lives.
