  • Woven: Weaving faith and good deeds (James 2:14-26) | Brad Carr

    If we are saved by grace, where do good works fit? In James 2, discover why good works do not earn salvation, but naturally flow from genuine faith. Through the lives of Abraham and Rahab, this message challenges us to live out our faith through love, obedience, and action.

  • Woven: Weaving Grace and Graciousness (James 2:1-13) | Jonathan Dove

    Why do we instinctively sort people into categories, and what does that reveal about our hearts? In this message from James 2, we explore how the gospel confronts favouritism, challenges our assumptions about worth, and invites us to see people through the eyes of grace rather than judgment. Discover why the way we treat the person who can do nothing for us may be one of the clearest indicators of what we truly believe.

  • Woven: Weaving Hearing and Obeying (James 1:19-27) | Brad Carr

    Most Christians don't struggle with hearing God's Word, they struggle with obeying it. In this message from James 1, we explore the gap between information and transformation, and why real faith is woven into everyday decisions, conversations, and pressures, not just Sunday beliefs. Discover how God's Word can move from something you know to something that genuinely shapes the way you live.

  • Woven: Weaving Trials and Trusting (James 1:1-18) | Jonathan Dove

    What if the hardest season of your life isn’t proof that God has abandoned you, but evidence that He’s still weaving something beautiful together? In this powerful opening message of the “Woven” series through James 1, we explore how God works through trials, suffering, confusion, and pressure to shape resilient faith that doesn’t unravel under tension.

  • Ask Anything: If God is so good, why is there so much pain? | Steve Young

    Why does pain exist if God is good? In this powerful message from Gracecity’s “Ask Anything” series, we explore one of humanity’s deepest questions through real stories of suffering, loss, faith, and hope. From the philosophy of C.S. Lewis to the personal journey of “Ken” and Claire, this sermon wrestles honestly with evil, suffering, and the possibility that pain might not be the end of the story.

  • Ask Anything: What happens after death? | Brad Carr

    What happens after death — and why did Jesus speak so often about hell? In this honest and confronting message, we unpack what the Bible really says about heaven, hell, eternity, justice, and the hope of the cross. Whether you’re sceptical, searching, or a longtime Christian, this is a conversation too important to avoid.

  • Ask Anything: Do current events point to end times? | Jonathan Dove

    Are headlines lining up with prophecy—or are we reading too much into the moment? In this third message of our Ask Anything series, we explore what the Bible actually says about the end times, why predictions have missed the mark before, and how to stay grounded when the world feels uncertain.

  • Ask Anything: Can you lose your salvation? | Brad Carr

    Can you lose your salvation—or are you held secure no matter what? In week two of Ask Anything, we tackle one of Christianity’s most debated questions, unpacking what the Bible says about grace, assurance, and what it really means to belong to Jesus.

    If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt, failure, or fear of falling away, this message gets personal—offering clarity, challenge, and a reminder that if we’re saved by grace, we’re held by grace.

  • Ask Anything: Can I belong in the church if I am LGBTQ+? | Jonathan Dove

    This is one of the most honest—and challenging—questions the church can ask. Can LGBTQ+ people follow Jesus and find a place to belong, without compromising truth or grace? In this message, we explore a tension many feel but few articulate—offering a vision of a church marked by deep welcome, real conviction, and a God who meets us right where we are.

  • I AM: The Resurrection and the Life (John 11:25) | Jonathan Dove

    What happens when we die? It’s a question we can’t avoid—and one that Easter boldly answers. Jesus didn’t offer a theory. He made a claim: “I am the resurrection and the life.” The question is simple—and personal: Do you believe this? The evidence might surprise you.
