(Genesis 22:1-14 & Matthew 10:40, 42) As we look back on the previous year we see a theme - God will provide. Hear how God continues to provide at Grace as we move into a new year of pastoral ministry (Grace Highlights).

(Genesis 21:8-21 & Matthew 10:29-31) Sometimes we find ourselves in terrible situations with no good options. Yet, when Abraham was asked to send his own child away an unexpected solution brought grace. Can we do the same?

(Genesis 18:1-15, 21:1-7 & Matthew 9:37-38) In the summer months its important to take a break, but its also important to create space for others. What is God calling you to in this season?

(Genesis 12:1-9 & Romans 4:16) Life can be full of huge risks, but should we do it? Should we take a big risk to maybe get a big return? Father Abraham shows the way (Children's Sunday 1/1).

(Genesis 1:26-2:3 & Matthew 28:16-20) Its helps to have an instruction manual when you are trying to do something, but much of life has no instructions! Jesus has some directions unlike anything that came before it (Confirmation Sunday).

(1 Corinthians 12:3b-13 & Acts 2:2-4, 12-13) We can sometimes get down on ourselves, feeling low, maybe saying some negative self-talk, but the Apostle Paul reminds us of a very different truth. See what it is in 'Except by the Holy Spirit' (Pentecost 1/1).

(Acts 1:6-14 & John 17:11) Getting back at someone can feel pretty good, but is it what we want long term? Jesus has a final command for his disciples that is surprisingly connected to revenge (Women 3/3).

(1 Peter 3:13-22 & Acts 17:26-28) Mothers Day can be tough for many people, especially when you think about how many times we can try to do a good thing but suffer. The Apostle Peter feels your pain and he points us in the right direction to have a clear conscience (Women 2/3).

(Acts 7:51-60 & John 14:25-26) We are have moments of pain and suffering. When a disciple of Jesus experienced this, he had a vision that reminded him exactly where he stood (Women: Barred from Service 1/3).

(John 10:1-10 & Ezekiel 34:11-12) Living without regret might seem impossible. We all have things we wish we could change, but maybe God's promise for life in its fullness doesn't mean we never make a mistake. Maybe it means something much deeper (Rise Up 4/4).
