"Preach the Gospel." To every creature under heaven. "Make disciples. Of all nations." "This is my body. This is my blood." Fifth Sundays at Grace United is when we partake of the Lord's Table, also called "Communion." Come with Grace United as we explore again, for the first time, why the Lord left us here instead of taking us home to heaven after He salvaged those who responded to the Gospel: That our God reigns. That salvation is found only in Christ.

Ever thought about what kept the Apostle Paul up at night? What was it that was constantly on Paul's mind--the greatest Christian who ever lived--that gave him such consternation that he would be so very afraid to face the Lord? It was that he would be disqualified from the "race of life." What in Paul's mind consisted of being disqualified? And if Paul was afraid of disqualification, what about you and me? Join the Grace United crew as we learn how to avoid the pronouncement of "disqualified" on the Day of Judgment, when we stand before the judge of the world, the Lord Jesus Christ.

What comes to mind when you hear the word "freedom?" William Wallace and his loud declaration before his execution? No restraints? What about being free in Christ? Paul declared that he was indeed free. But free to do and to be what? His answer might surprise you--and a little teaser, he spoke clearly about finances. Join the Grace United crew as we hear Paul's heart in his declaration of freedom.

"Meat sacrificed to idols" was a very important question to the Corinthian Christians in the First Century. They had many questions and issues, which tended to divide their fellowship. How should Christians in the church of Jesus Christ handle disputes that are not essential teachings of Scripture or true Christianity? What are the issues today? Certainly they have nothing to do with meat which outlived its religious purpose. What about people with powerful personalities who love the Lord and tend to steamroll over those who love the Lord but are a bit hesitant? How to keep the unity and love intact between them? Join the Grace United crew as we discover how to distinguish between holding to knowledge the causes pride and true, God-shaped love.

What does it mean to live a life undistracted, uncluttered, lived only for and unto Jesus Christ? Go to the mountains of Montana and be a hermit to get away from people? What about marriage relationships or especially when a couple has become engaged to be married, how does one live an undistrated life to the Lord? If we knew the Lord was coming back tomorrow and you were engaged, would you go ahead and get married or break it off? So many questions. Such is the stuff of life as a Christian. How to live life with a single heart, though married, or tied up in an engaged relationship is what Paul deals with in this message. Join with the Grace United crew as we discover how to have a single heart for troubled times.

"Shelter in Place" is either a welcoming term or an abhorrent one in our day. "Keep way from others" so we don't give them the virus. But the Lord wastes nothing, even in during our very uncertain days. "Serve Him in place" is the "name of the game" now. What does that mean for us? How can we make that happen? Come with the Grace United crew as we seek to "serve in place."

Sex? Drugs? Rock & Roll? In church? Why in the world would we talk about this? Is sexuality, is sexual activity an appropriate topic to talk about on Sunday morning? And what does this have to do with 1 Corinthians 6:12-20? Come with the Grace United crew as we explore this intimate, but very common human issue, to the glory of God.

What was the dirty laundry the Corinthians displayed before the watching world--the world that considered the things of God utter foolishness: moronic? Actually bringing civil disputes between brothers in front of non-Christian judges. Why would that be considered dirty laundry? Isn't that what people do when faced with the need to deal with civil damages? What was Paul's council, indeed, his indictment levied upon them regarding this practice?

What is our responsibility as Christians regarding the COVID19 crisis, especially when it comes to whether we should obey local or even national mandates in matters such as social distancing or groups of no more than 10?

Come with the Grace United crew as we look into the issues raised in 1 Corinthians 6 and the present pandemic--COVID19.

For anyone to claim that the church doesn't have problems with sin have been living under a rock for 2000 years. It is true to a certain extent, that all sin is alike to God. But incest with their "father's wife"? Back in "the day" this was looked on as unthinkable, even among those living in the culture known for rampant sexual immorality. How to handle it? And how are Christians supposed to handle sin in non-Christian culture anyway? Come with the Grace United crew as we seek to discover what a wordly church is like and how to avoid trying to make the world "churchy".

"God's fools." This is what Paul actually called himself and his fellow leaders whom God used to build the church in Corinth. What does it mean to be God's fool? As a Christian, why would one even desire to to label himself or herself in this way? It's been said, "Paul was a fool for Christ. Whose fool are you?" Come with the Grace United crew to find out how this is so.
