 Easter 2023 was historic at Grace City. On a weekend in which we ribbon-cut our new Atrium and baptized more people than we did in all of 2022, Pastor Josh brought a prophetic word for our troubled culture from the obscure book of Ezekiel.  In a vivid vision of the state of Israel, God leads His prophet Ezekiel to a desolate valley full of human dry bones. This is Israel. She has lost her nationa...

God wants you to have a critical mind, not a critical spirit. Unfortunately, “Christian discernment bloggers” is code word for Jerk, and criticizing the church has become a budding cottage industry. Pick on a church and you’re sure to gain a following.  But the spirit of the critic originated from the first Critic, Satan himself, and when we become critical, we pull hell up into our relationships....

Part 2 of Pastor Josh McPherson's sermon on Acts Chapter 10.

In Week 18 of our Book of Acts series, Pastor Josh McPherson guides us through the process God uses to sanctifies saints as demonstrated in the story of Saul of Tarsus becoming the Apostle Paul. Before God knocked him off his horse he was a well-off, gritty, genius, workhorse, who was a single, relig...

Packer said, “God Saves Sinners”.  Nowhere is this truth more powerfully described than in the story of the Apostle Paul’s conversion in Acts Chapter 9. In this sermon, Pastor Josh McPherson walks us through just how God can take broken sinners who are far from Himself to people who powerfully live their new lives for God’s glory in Jesus’ name....

In response to a miraculous healing of a lame man, Peter boldly preaches near the temple in Jerusalem to a crowd about the risen Jesus, with a call to repentance.  Just as in the days of Acts, the church still advances through the work of God displayed, the Word of God declared, and the witnesses of God deployed.  In this message from Acts 3:11-26, Pastor Adam James unpacks takeaways, action steps...
