Sermons

Deacons are qualified, model servants who assist the elders by: guarding the elders’ ministry of Prayer and Word; organizing the church’s service to others (especially to the needy); and seeking to preserve church unity.

Authority gets a bad rap in our culture. We fail to realize that the problem is not with people having authority, but in it being used inappropriately. After all, where would the world go if no one was in charge? In Christ’s church, both the members and the elders have an authority to exercise. Getting clarity on the realm of that authority is essential for the unified, thriving work of an elder-led, congregational church.

God calls His people to live by the Truth He has revealed in His Word. And sometimes this means that you will have to do something hard. That takes courage. Godly courage. And that is what this sermon is all about.

Pastor Steve Kim's last sermon at Grace Fellowship Church.

Some of the big remaining questions surrounding the Lord’s Supper have to do with what we eat and drink and who joins us at the table. Bread or potato chips? Grape juice or wine? Members of the church alone, or guests as well?

What should a person actually do or think about when they are participating in the Lord’s Supper? How should we think of those we are taking the Supper with? What does Jesus mean when He tells us to eat and drink “in remembrance of” Him? Is the Supper just a spiritual trip down memory lane?

Ever feel like you don’t quite fit in? Do you struggle to align with the world around you? Well, there’s a reason for that. As God’s people, we are strangers and exiles living in a land that is not our permanent home—we’re awaiting our heavenly promise land! 1 Peter 2:1-12 is a How-To Guide to help us faithfully navigate this world as pilgrims who are just passing through.

When we think about what Christmas is all about, we think about the birth of Jesus Christ. But why was Christ born? What did he come to do? Galatians 4 shows us that the purpose of the incarnation of Jesus Christ was our adoption in God’s family.
