Sermons - Grace Point

What does it mean when God grants us grace? It’s not something He owes us, as if we earned it. Why would God want to care for sinful humanity? Hear what Gary Little, one the GPC Elders, has to say as he digs into the Apostle Paul’s greeting to the Christian church in Ephesus as well as Christ’s admonition to the church in Laodicea.

It is often good to plan ahead, but we must realize that there are things that are beyond our control, or planning. When things go wrong (not the way we hoped) how do we respond? Our human tendency is to worry/fret. However, when we have a God saturated view of life, we can know that He cares for us, even when He allows trials into our lives. Listen as Pastor Kyle digs into this topic and how we can apply it to our lives.

When we work at something, we eventually get tired and need to rest. During our rest time, we are not aware of things that may happen related to what we were working on. When things go awry in our lives, we may feel that God is not “paying attention” to our situation. However, Scripture teaches that God never sleeps. He sees everything that goes on in our lives and cares. How do we reconcile our experience with Scripture? Listen in to find out.

Experiencing a violent earthquake is a traumatic thing. The very ground you stand upon suddenly moves, becoming an unreliable “foundation”. In a similar sense, we all want a firm foundation in our life. We desire to have an “unshakable” life – one that weathers the trials of life and comes through unscathed. However, that’s not how life usually works. Careers end, beauty fades, health falters, etc. What can we do about this? Join Pastor Kyle as he delves into this question and the answers he finds in Psalm 16.

In Psalm 15:1, David ponders the question of who can get close to God. The answers come in the following verses. However, the characteristics that David mentions are not just what people can see (“external”), but are based on what is internal (what we are like when we think no one is watching). What are we like on the inside? If we need “fixing”/improvement, working on our character won’t help. We need to pursue God, Himself. By keeping our focus on God, He will work in you to bring about transformation.

Join Pastor Kyle as he continues to unpack the topic of envy and how Asaph (the writer of this Psalm) felt about the prosperity of the wicked and the justice of God. Not only was this a concern for Asaph, but also for many of us today. Listen and learn.

Envy is a sin that has plagued people throughout the ages. Even God’s people wrestle with it at times. Exactly what is it; and how does it work? What does it do to us? Join Pastor Kyle as he unpacks this issue found in Psalm 73.

Scripture (the Bible) is God’s written word to mankind. In a world filled with spiritual darkness, Scripture provides light to illuminate our walk through life. How does this “work” for us in our day/age? Listen as Pastor Kyle explains.

The value of forgiveness is tied to the seriousness of sin. If we don’t think of our sin as serious, we won’t value the forgiveness God offers. This has a profound effect on what we think, say, & do – especially in our interactions with other people, as well as with God, Himself. What happens when we place a high value on God’s forgiveness? How would we get to this point in our lives? Listen to find out.

What does it mean to abide in God? How do we do that? God aways provides a way for us to follow Him as well as providing the means to abide in Him. Listen as Gary, one of the GPC Elders, explores how God provides for us to abide in Him.
