Sermons From Grace Baptist Church of Richmond Hill

Whatever shapes your thinking shapes your life, so make God’s Word your primary shaping influence by meditating on it. This message will look at how to curate your inputs and prioritize what matters most.

Your credentials can be perfect, but you can still end up disqualified by your character. This message looks at how God guides us in the battle of faith and deals with our obedience before He leads us to achievement.

Moses has been called by God and commissioned to deliver God’s people, but he immediately thinks of all the reasons why he’s not up for the task. The way that God reassures him shows how He might be seeking to work in our own lives when we find ourselves resisting a step God is calling us to make.

Moses was a child of promise, saved miraculously, raised in spectacular privilege, but none of that was enough. He spent 40 years living out what felt like Plan B before he met God and was transformed by the encounter. What God reveals about Himself in the burning bush is what we all need to come to terms with.

Events in Moses’ early adult life show that he has the makings of a great leader, but that isn’t enough. He’s been raised in privilege, and he has a passion for justice, but pride and self-sufficiency must be rooted out of him before he can be used by God.

God saves us, equips us, and sends us. Are we ready to answer the call? The Hebrew Scriptures are full of God’s promises to send us the Messiah. Today, as we look at the feasts of the Lord in Leviticus 23, could they help us see a foreshadow of the great commission? Could they help us see we are saved for a purpose?

When God feels absent in our trials, we face different kinds of temptations. Anger, doubt, and despair come easily to us. This message looks at how to deal with the silence of God and why we can trust Him when it feels like He’s not there.

The rules are being rewritten for what’s celebrated and what’s forbidden, and Christians are tempted to act out in anger. This message looks at another time when the rules were rewritten, and God’s people found themselves caught in the crosshairs. Consider the principles that guided His people as they coped with life in Egypt under the king who did not know Joseph.

We live at a time when Christianity is facing increasing criticism and dissenting from our culture’s values brings consequences. Stephen’s martyrdom provides principles that dispel the myths that we have about how to cope when opposition looms.

We often think about the challenges that the church faces from the world. But sometimes the challenges are in the mirror. This passage looks at an internal problem the church faced and the priorities that guided its resolution then and should direct our churches today.
