Grace For Ohio

Your mind is a very powerful thing. It has been said that your life moves in the direction of your strongest thoughts. As we continue in our Winning series, in this message, Pastor Nick talks about how we can win in our mind. Paul, in his letter to the Philippians, lays out some very clear ways that we should be thinking. Nick walks us through those and challenges us to think the same way today!

As we shift our focus from 2022 to 2023, it seems customary to think about what we want this new year to be. How do we want to grow? What changes do we want to be made? What resolutions would we like to see and stick to throughout the year? In this message, Pastor Dave kicks off a new series called Winning: Better Decisions, Fewer Regrets. To start, Pastor Dave defines "winning" and how we can best position ourselves to make 2023 a year of winning!

Have you ever felt as though Christmas is just too big? The fast-paced hustle and bustle of the holiday season can quickly become overwhelming. But, maybe Christmas is actually bigger than we could even imagine. Maybe Christmas feels too big because we're expecting the holiday to deliver something that it never could. WATCH this message and discover that the joy, forgiveness and peace that we're searching for this holiday season has already been offered to us through Jesus. Don't miss the true gift of Christmas!

When you really think about it, pride is at the root of all sin. When we think we can do things better than what God's clear and holy standard is, that is pride. In this message, Pastor Billy wraps up our Holding On series by talking about what it takes to put on, to clothe ourselves, with humility. Watch this message to learn some practical and biblical tips to grow in your humility!

We've all asked the question, "Why?" When life doesn't seem to go our way, we seem quick to question what God's plan is during this specific season. In this message, Pastor Nick teaches in 1 Peter 4 and we learn how to have the right perspective on our trials, live with the end in mind and hold on by letting go!

We are well familiar with what it means to honor something or someone: to place them in high esteem. Whether it's a maid of honor at a wedding, a ring of honor for a sports team or a seat of honor for a monarch, we know what the action of honor entails. However, in the main passage in today's message, Peter instructs the believers in hostile territory to live lives of honor. What does that mean? How can we live with honor in our relationships and be a light for Christ in our lives! Pastor Nick helps us answer some of these questions in today's message!

We all have labels that have been placed on us. These labels impact how we carry ourselves, our attitudes, and our actions. They affect how we see ourselves and the world around us. And those labels can cause us to miss God's plan for us. Join us as Pastor Billy talks about how and why we should let God define our identity. 

In all of our lives today, we are desperately seeking for something to hold onto. Through it all, ultimately, we are seeking to hold onto hope. Where do you find hope? Is it in your favorite sports team? Family member? Co-worker? In this message, Pastor Nick talks about how we can truly hold onto Hope and how we can have a genuine faith that will carry us through life's many struggles!

This series has been an incredible time to get some of our questions about faith answered! In this message, we wrap up this series by getting a few last questions answered regarding baptism, communion, pain/suffering, the Holy Spirit and more! Remember, how you handle questions reveals who you trust!

Throughout this series, we have been grappling with how to answer the burning questions in our hearts and in our communities. In this message, Pastors Nick, Billy, Dave and Randy answered some of the many questions that were sent in for this series. Check this message out for those answers, from Scripture, and how you can access resources where we will continue to answer these questions!
