Our Summer Study series focuses on Biblical principles to learning and speaking in our spiritual language.

In this first session, Pastor Tim sets the stage for this four part series on a man who sets an example for us through his giving and his encouragement.

Our Summer Study series focuses on Biblical principles to learning and speaking in our spiritual language.

As God's people, we are part of this world, but not permanent residents. Looking to find the balance between speaking uncompromising truth and finding ways to learn how to share the love of Jesus in our words and actions.

This Sunday, Pastor Tim gives us a "preview" of a series that is coming in Fall of 2023 that will look at hot topic issues we see, hear, and deal with everyday.

In this final session, Pastor Tim discusses the Ministry Mosaic and how we, at Grace Church, are going to minister, serve, and love both inside and outside our building.

We are all ministers, but are we all ministering? We are all servants, but are we all serving?

This Sunday, Pastor Tim shares part two of Ministers and Ministry looking at how the freedom and grace that we are called to leads us to serving the ekklesia, the church, in any capacity that we are able to.

In the ekklesia, the body is working together both spiritually and physically to achieve effectiveness and not efficiency. But we all have to first remember that no matter the role we step into, leaders and congregations are both servants and ministers.

This Sunday, Pastor Tim looks at Ephesians chapter four, and how our calling and God's grace leads us, as ministers, to "equip the saints" for the work of ministry...building up the ekklesia!

Spiritual Fathers (and Mothers) are often talked about in the small "C" church, but what influence do we allow them to have in our lives? As a matter of fact, leaders in the church have no vocational or financial authority over the members of the church. And yet, spiritual leaders exert considerable influence over congregations -- good and often times bad.

This Sunday Pastor Tim tackles this challenging topic focusing on difficult leadership experiences most of us have had in our past and how we, the "ekklesia" have to learn to trust the Lord inside others again.

In almost every way that the world works there is always comparision, and the church is not immune to this! We often find ourselves comparing worship, or teaching, or ministries, or facilities, or children's programs as we visit or travel from church to church.

But, as the Apostle Paul shows us in the book of 1 Corinthians, churches follow Jesus -- Paul, who has written so much of the New Testament, follow's Jesus. And no matter who the leader is, or how amazing the program within the church is, if they are not a servant first, then they are only accomplishing things through their own strength...and that won't last.

We all have value and purpose in the little "C" church. We are all part of the ekklesia, regardless of where we are called, or what we are called to.

This Sunday, Pastor Tim continues in 1 Corinthians 12 and takes a look at how we, as the ekklesia, cannot exclude weaker or unimportant parts of the body. Those who are lesser in the body of Christ are greater, worthy of greater honor, and indispensable.
