Grace Fellowship Sermons

We continue to reflect on the pivotal moment when Jesus, after a night of deep prayer, intentionally chose twelve men to carry forward His mission. This was no random selection but a deliberate step of transforming the world through ordinary people. Today, ask the Lord to open your heart and ignite a passion for walking with the Lord along with intentional disciple-making.

In our passage today, John records a profound glimpse into an inter-Trinitarian conversation, revealing the essence of life as God intended. Discovering this truth will transform how we live and how Grace Fellowship is called to impact the world today.

As we have seen in the previous two weeks, God has made us to represent and reflect who he is; therefore, we will only experience true satisfaction as we align with and live out this purpose. Today, we will consider how the scriptures lead us towards that end.

Do you believe God is truly the greatest and most valuable of all things? Does your living reflect your answer? Today we will consider the joy available to us when what we know becomes how we live.

Every Christian knows who Jesus is. But how much thought do you put into what Jesus is? While knowing who he is can bring you new life, knowing what he is the key to living that life rightly.

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. (2:25) How do I walk between trusting God and expecting Him to act? When I pray and ask Him for something, especially something that requires a miraculous answer, I know that He can do anything and that if I trust in Him, he will take care of it. That being said, I also know that God is not a vending machine and that I shouldn't focus all my time on what He can do for me. With this in mind, how can I trust in His ability and will without being too expectant about how He will respond? 2. (10:55) I want to know God's will, but the Bible doesn't tell me the answers to everyday decisions in life, and I know that my feelings can lead me astray, even when I feel like it is the Lord. How can I be confident that I am on the right track? 3.(24:50) After 10 years of marriage, we seem to be going through the motions of family life. While I know that "life happens," I also fear having more of a life partner than a healthy marriage. I am seeking clear signs of a healthy marriage to evaluate my concerns. Also, how can we get out of or assess if we are in a bad place or maybe going in the wrong direction? I don’t know if this is the right place to ask, but I suspect I am not alone in feeling this way.

Last week, we saw Jesus confront the Pharisees’ legalism over Sabbath practices. Today, we step into a “sting” operation where the Pharisees attempt to trap Jesus in disregarding Sabbath laws. This passage also challenges us to examine whether our faith is grounded in God’s grace or entangled in ritual(s) that lead to self-righteousness, blinding us to God’s heart for mercy and restoration.

The Sabbath, the cornerstone of Jewish life exemplifying God’s rest at the end of the creation week, had been distorted by the religious leaders into a burdensome ritual. In this passage, Jesus not only addresses their theology, but provides the hope of rest for weary souls.

It's natural to resist change, especially when it challenges what's familiar or deeply rooted in tradition. In today's passage, Jesus introduces the Jewish people to a crossroad: cling to the old or turn to the new life He offers.

How bad is too bad for God’s grace? Can someone’s sin ever place them beyond the reach of God’s mercy? Today, we will examine the life of someone who was considered to be beyond God’s forgiveness.
