Sermons – GraceLife Church: Deltona, FL

Suffering often seems random, with no discernible cause and no clear meaning. We’re left wondering: why me? Why this? Am I being singled out? When secular thinkers talk about suffering, they use words like fate, luck, and even karma. Are those legitimate ways to understand hardship? Why do we suffer? God’s answer is mind-blowing, awe-inspiring, counter-cultural, and also one of the most formidable promises in the Bible. Join us at GraceLife this week for “God’s Greatest Promise.”

God calls us to do hard things, but never leaves us alone to do them in our own strength. One of the highest and hardest tasks facing Christians is killing our sins. Sounds crazy and exhausting. But the calling comes from a wise, loving Father. If we are not killing our sin, our sin will be killing us. The good news is that God gave us His most powerful helper to slay our sins: His Holy Spirit. Do you know about Him? Is His power being unleashed in your life right now? Are you leveraging His help in your war against sin? Find out more this week at GraceLife in Part 2 of “Killing Sin by the Spirit.” 10am DHS Auditorium.

How do we know the God of the Bible is real? Why should we believe in Him or trust Him? After all, there are plenty of other worldviews we could choose from. But one thing those other belief systems have in common is this: they can never provide the ultimate answer we need. This passage in 1 Kings 18 shows us that God has a voice. God pays attention. And God answers. His answer in this story about Elijah and the prophets of Baal points us forward to His Ultimate Answer - Jesus Christ.

Kill your sin. Sound like a tall order? It is. Impossible, in fact, if you use your own weak, puny, inadequate human resources. But God has given us the greatest help and power possible: His own Spirit dwelling within us. This week at GraceLife, we continue digging into one of the most gloriously good-news passages in the Bible. Don’t miss “Killing Sin by the Spirit,” Sunday at 10am, @ DHS.

This week at GraceLife we’ll continue to explore one of the most violent, messy, controversial, and critical tasks of following Jesus: killing your sins. So join again as we continue in Romans 8 with, Three Ways to Kill Your Sin. Part Two!

Christians are known as peacemakers. We turn the other cheek. We forgive quickly. We strive to maintain unity and avoid conflict if possible. But did you know that faithfully following Jesus means we must get downright violent? Christians are killers! We execute our sins! In fact, we’re given a choice in the Bible: kill or be killed. Join us this week at GraceLife as we explore Three Ways to Kill Your Sin. We’re back in Romans again!

Fill in the blank: Jesus is the _______. How would you answer? The Messiah? Son of God? Savior? These are all true of Him, but Jesus used a peculiar title to refer to Himself more than any other. And it’s one we might not be very familiar with. He uses the phrase “Son of Man” over 80 times in the Gospels. Join us Sunday to see the incredible truths behind this favorite title of Jesus.

When it comes to the gospel it seems that many Christians like myself need a constant reminder of who did the saving work. We as Christians always try to add something to our salvation as if God needs any help in doing the saving. Join us Sunday as we talk about how it is only through the work of Christ and Christ alone that we are saved.
