GraceWay D.C.

Our nation will be preserved by godly homes--and homes are made of faithful men and priceless women.

Last week, we gave FIVE areas where men need to maintain faithfulness if we hope to hear God say, "Good job!"

But, ladies we can't do it without your help. Today we will see FIVE areas where, if you will accept the role, you will not only preserve our homes; but you will also hear God say, "You're priceless!"

One of the great burdens of my heart is to see men of God raised out of doubt and duplicity, equipped with spiritual armor, and running the race God has set before them--faithfully.

Today I want to give you FIVE areas we need God to commandeer in our lives if we hope to hear "Good job!" when we get to heaven. Or, better said, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant."

The reason most men won't ask for directions is - they're pretty sure the person they ask won't know, but will pretend they do. To protect them, it's better to hope you'll find the way and keep going...

Let me assure you sir (and ma'am), God knows both where you came from, and the way you should go. You can trust Him, His word, His wisdom, and His will every day of your life.

I picture David standing in the congregation with his hands raised saying, "Unto Thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. O my God, I trust in Thee."

Suddenly, his vulnerability and utter helplessness overwhelms him and he cries out, "Let me not be ashamed!" Without God's salvation, he will lose it all. And this is exactly the sort of faith God demands

When God's people needed a man to stand in the gap, Moses prayed, "If I have found grace in Thy sight, show me now Thy way, that I may know Thee, that I may find grace in Thy sight: and consider that this nation is Thy people."

Thank you, GraceWay Family, for 10 years of standing in the gap together in our nations capital. What amazing grace we have found to walk in His way!

Statistics say most New Year's resolutions will be broken by this coming Friday - the 2nd weekend of the new year. How's that for encouragement?! Maybe it's because we forgot the most important element: TRUST in GOD, not in our own strength. What does it mean to trust? This is our focus for today's message, as well as for all of 2025: In GOD I Trust.

What a year of being "WITH GOD" and GraceWay! I stand amazed at His goodness to us in 2024.

On this final Sunday, I want to take one more look at our theme in its context. Many times we want to claim its promise for some short-sighted, superficial goal. But Jesus had eternity in mind when He turned to His disciples and said, "With God all things are possible."

Merry Christmas! For some, that is difficult to say this year. My prayer is that the Lord Jesus reveals Himself to you in unfathomable comfort and peace. May the very fact that He came prove His love to you today.Jesus Christ is much more than a tiny baby in a manger. He is the revealer of God, the creator of the world, and the redeemer of man. This is the true reason for the season.

We are privileged to have Evangelist Scott Pauley with us today. We are calling this "Revive Our Hearts" Sunday. I know God will use this message to do just that - if we allow Him. May we leave here refreshed by the "presence of the Lord."

Winter is here! And with it, the wonderful season of celebrating the birth of Jesus. But before we do....Let's "tie a bow" on our Fruit of the Spirit series. We will turn to one of the greatest chapters associated with the fruit in the Bible, John 15. In it we find the key to actualizing all we have been learning over the past nine messages.One last note: the fruit of the Spirit comes from the root of the Savior. Abide in Him.
