Gracehouse

We live during a time where people are yearning for authentic community. A place where relationships go beyond shallow interactions into deeper territory; where people remain connected and committed despite all the drama attached to being sinful individuals; and where we’re fully known and yet, fully loved.   

According to John, this can only happen in a community grounded in Christ, which stands on the foundation of God’s love. As hard as this community project may be, when we’re faithful to God’s call to doing community well, there’s a unique promise that we will experience God in a unique way.

The church has always had issues that threaten to divide her. But how do we act in love and unify with one another when we strongly disagree with each other. Paul the Apostle helps us to think these issues through.

There are so many things in this world trying to shape our identity.  As Christians we need to remember we are first and foremost disciples of Jesus.

How should a Christian respond to what is happening in the world? While there are many sides to that question, and many different opinions fighting for our allegiance, the Scriptures provide us with one answer that we can easily forget. But it is important that we are clear about it if we are to respond in a distinctly ‘Christian’ way.

Most people have an opinion about Jesus. Maybe he's a good teacher, perhaps even a prophet. But for the Christian, we know him as Saviour and Lord. And this belief has a dramatic effect on how we live our lives.

The book of Ecclesiastes says that there is a time and season for everything. We believe Gracehouse is entering into a new season of purpose building on the season before. This week we talk about what that looks like as well as some of the challenges we might face along the way.

On this, our second birthday, we take some time to remember and reflect on just some of the ways which God has been faithful to us. By remembering the past faithfulness of God, we are able to look forward in faith to the future of what God has for us.

No Christian is immune to hard times. Times of struggle and times of confusion. Paul the Apostle gives us an encouragement for times like these.

So you've come to faith in Jesus... Now what? This week we talk about how to grow as a Christian. The goal being to look more and more like Jesus.

This week we talk a little about the Bible and how we got it. The Bible has always been important to Christians because in it we learn about Jesus and his way of salvation.
