In this sermon from Acts 20:31-38, we learn three more valuable lessons from the example of Paul. As faithful Christians, we should devote ourselves to God and to his Word, we should desire to give more than we get, and we should seek to build deep spiritual relationships with other believers. As we prayerfully examine our own lives, are there changes that need to be made in any of these areas? From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

What are the qualities of a good spiritual leader? In this sermon from Acts 20:25-31, we see from the example of Paul that godly leaders warn and teach, care for their own spiritual lives as well as those of others, protect against false teachers, and correct in love. Are we modeling a faithful Christian life to the people God has called us to lead? From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

What should a faithful follower of Jesus look like? In this sermon from Acts 20, we see that believers are involved in the lives of others, actively serve the Lord, proclaim the gospel, and are obedient to God’s direction. As we examine our own hearts and lives, what might need to change that we may finish our race well? From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

In this sermon from Acts 20, we see an example of what encouragement looks like in the church. Encouragement cares enough to come close, is centered on God’s Word, and comes through sharing our changed lives as we gather together as the church. Are you seeking this kind of encouragement, and looking for ways to bring encouragement to others? From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

How should the Christian seek to bring about change in the world? In this sermon from Acts 19:21-41, we see that unlike the rioters in Ephesus, Paul did not try to stir up fear or bring about change through political revolt. Like Paul, we are called to be good citizens, full of love and peace, sharing the gospel and building up the faith of those around us. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

In Acts 19:11-20, we see that God used his people and the proclamation of the gospel to transform the city of Ephesus. In the same way today, when God transforms a city his power is displayed, counterfeit gospels are exposed, lives are transformed, and the gospel of Jesus Christ is faithfully proclaimed. As God’s people, are we seeking and praying for the transformation of our city? From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

In this passage from Acts 19, Paul gives us a model to follow to faithfully proclaim the gospel wherever the Lord has placed us. Like Paul, we can share the good news with those around us, reasoning with them and persuading them, praying that God would open their eyes, change their hearts, and bring them to repentance and faith. Who might the Lord be calling you to share the gospel with this week? From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

What really defines a church? In this sermon from Acts 18, we look at five critical things that this passage can teach us about the church, and see that ultimately, the church consists of a people who are saved by God’s grace and called to his mission. As we examine our own lives, is our time, energy and focus on the mission of God? From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

When we find ourselves lost and looking for answers, to where and to whom do we turn? In this sermon from Isaiah 6, guest speaker Sam Raju reminds us that although change is an inevitable part of life, our God is unchanging and always on his throne. He is ineffable, transcendent, and sovereign over all things, and we can safely put our trust in him. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

In this Easter sermon from Luke 24, we see that belief in the resurrection and the gospel of Jesus Christ is a journey from doubt to faith. The journey begins with doubt and disbelief, moves to an examination of the evidence, and finally requires a response to revelation. Have you responded to the truth of the gospel and put your faith in the resurrected Christ? From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.
