Sermons From Grace Baptist Church of Richmond Hill

We listen to songs for comfort, inspiration and encouragement. But. They cover a full range of emotions and circumstances and some of them get a little messy. But they point us to hope and help us to give expression to our own feelings when words fail us.

There are too many issues that can’t be solved with more effort. We need more strength, more wisdom and more patience to cope with our lives. And, at the end of the day, we know that our circumstances are still beyond our control. So, we pray. But often we feel at a loss as to how to pray. How do we connect with God? How do we seek His face? How should we approach prayer? This series look at a number of biblical prayers for guidance on how to pray. We’ll go through these as part of a month-long, church-wide time of seeking God’s face in prayer.

The good news of the Bible is that, because of Jesus’ death on our behalf, all people of all backgrounds can freely receive His forgiveness through repentance and faith. But people can subtly add conditions to that free grace and turn it into something else. And the problem is that we’re tempted to do the same! This message looks at a man named Gehazi whose greed and prejudice risked corrupting the grace of God.

How do you respond to God’s blessings in your life? Some people take them for granted. Other people try to even accounts with God. But the Bible paints a different picture of how we can honour God for His grace in our lives. This message looks at a Syrian general’s response to God’s healing and teaches us how to respond to God’s grace.

Sometimes we look to God and it feels like He’s turned His back on us. Other times we struggle to understand why He doesn’t do what we ask Him. This message looks at God’s dealing with a Syrian general who wanted healing and shows that there are good, divine purposes behind some of our disappointments with God.

Some people’s lives look like a string of successes. And others, a series of failures. But God helps us see our lives through a different lens. He confronts the strong with the reality of their weakness and helps the weak experience power through His strength. This message looks at a Syrian general who was impacted by a Jewish slave girl and shows us how God meets us in our weakness.
