Grace Life

In this sermon at Grace Life Church, we dive into Week 2 of the Awakened to the Gospel series: “Don’t Drift.” Most people don’t intentionally walk away from God. There’s no dramatic rebellion or decision to leave. Instead, we slowly drift—quietly, subtly, and often without realizing it. Just like floating in the water and suddenly realizing you’re far from where you started, spiritual drifting hap...

In this Resurrection Sunday message from Grace Life Church, we explore the moment that changed everything: the resurrection of Jesus Christ. But Easter is more than a celebration of a miracle that happened 2,000 years ago—it is the awakening of humanity. Through the resurrection, God didn’t simply repair our broken lives; He released entirely new life into the world. Many people are breathing, fun...

In this episode of the Committed Podcast, we dive into the message “Inside Out – Captured by Grace: When the King Enters.” On Palm Sunday, the crowds welcomed Jesus into Jerusalem shouting “Hosanna — save us now!” They expected a king who would overthrow Rome and fix the world around them. But Jesus came to do something far deeper. While political power entered the city on war horses and displays...

In this message from the “Captured by Grace” series, Inside Out, we explore one of the most life-changing truths of the gospel: real transformation begins in the heart. For many people, faith has been reduced to behavior management—trying harder, performing better, and fixing the outside. But the gospel tells a different story. Through Christ, God didn’t simply adjust our behavior—He transformed o...

In this powerful message, Jamie Englehart explores the angelic announcement in Gospel of Luke 2:8–14, where heaven proclaims “Do not be afraid… I bring you good news of great joy for all people.” For centuries, much of Christian teaching has been shaped by fear—fear of judgment, fear of punishment, and fear of not measuring up. But the birth announcement of Jesus tells a different story. The angel...

This week at Grace Life Church we began a new series called Inside Out — Captured by Grace. In this opening message, Matthew Wright explores a powerful question: Did Jesus come to fix broken people, or to make dead people alive? Looking at passages like Epistle to the Romans 8, Epistle to the Ephesians 2, and Second Epistle to the Corinthians 5, we discover that the gospel is not about repairing o...

In the final message of the Questions Jesus Asked series, we arrive at the most defining question of all from Matthew 16:13–20: “Who do you say that I am?” All month long, we’ve watched layers fall away. Week one: “What do you want Me to do for you?” Week two: “Do you want to be made whole?” Week three: “Where are your accusers?” Each question removed something—shame, accusation, performance, and...

In this powerful message from Gospel of John 8:1–11, we step into a tense public moment where a woman is dragged before Jesus, surrounded by accusation, shame, and stones ready to fall. But instead of joining the crowd, Jesus stoops in the dust, dismantles condemnation, and asks a question that still echoes today: “Where are your accusers?” This sermon explores how accusation often lives not in ot...

In Gospel of John 5:1–15, Jesus walks into Bethesda—“the House of Mercy”—and confronts a system that looks spiritual but lacks grace. Among the sick and forgotten, He singles out one man who had been paralyzed for thirty-eight years and asks a question that still echoes today: “Do you want to be made whole?” At first, the answer seems obvious. Of course he does. But Jesus isn’t merely offering rel...

In Week 1 of our new series Questions Jesus Asked, we sit with one of the most personal and revealing questions Jesus ever spoke: “What do you want Me to do for you?” Walking through the story of blind Bartimaeus in Mark 10, this message reminds us that Jesus doesn’t ask questions to expose us—He asks questions to heal us. On His way out of Jericho, surrounded by crowds and urgency, Jesus stops fo...

In Week 4 of the Firm Foundations series, we arrive at the foundation beneath every foundation: Union with Christ. Christianity is not about living for Christ at a distance—it’s about Christ living His life in us. This message dismantles the old-covenant mindset of a distant God who comes and goes and reveals the new-covenant reality of seamless oneness with Father, Son, and Spirit. Union is not a...

In Week 3 of the Firm Foundations series, we ask a critical question: What keeps a believer standing when life presses in? It’s possible to believe Christ is the foundation and still live unstable. It’s possible to believe the work is finished and still feel pressured. In this episode, we discover what truly stabilizes the believer: being rooted in love and established in grace. Drawing from Colos...

As we step into a new year, many are asking the same question: Who—or what—can I really count on? In this opening message of the Firm Foundations series, we’re reminded that storms don’t test our intentions—they reveal our foundations. Using the powerful illustration of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, this sermon exposes the danger of building on unstable ground and invites us to stop striving harder a...

As 2025 comes to a close, this message is a prophetic call to resist the urge to coast and instead finish with faith, focus, and fire. Many began the year with vision and expectation—yet along the way, loss, pressure, and unexpected detours challenged the definition of “success.” In Finishing Strong, we’re reminded that survival is not failure—it’s evidence of God’s development process. If you’re...

Why did Heaven meet Earth at all? Why did God choose a manger instead of a throne? On this Fourth Sunday of Advent—the Sunday of Love—Pastor Jamie Wright invites us to see Christmas not as sentiment, nostalgia, or tradition, but as revelation. Scripture declares that God is love, and when Heaven met Earth, love didn’t send a message—love became a person. In this message, we explore the heart of th...

What happens when Heaven meets Earth? Joy moves in. In this powerful Advent message, Pastor Jamie Wright reveals a life-altering truth: the joy of the Lord is not fragile, seasonal, or dependent on our performance—it is Kingdom joy, rooted in God’s heart toward humanity. Drawing from Nehemiah, the Christmas story, and the Gospel itself, this sermon reframes joy not as something we generate for God...

In this powerful Advent message, Matthew Wright unpacks the truth that peace is not something we search for — peace is something Heaven has already delivered. Through Scripture, practical insight, and the unforgettable Krispy Kreme illustration, this sermon exposes the lies we’ve accepted and the peace we’ve ignored. Jesus didn’t come so we could live stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed. He came to...

In this opening message of the When Heaven Met Earth series, we dive into one of the most relatable tensions of the Christmas season: unmet expectations. We’ve all opened a gift and wondered, “Do they even know me?”—and sometimes life feels the same way. The holidays expose our disappointments, highlight our losses, and magnify the gap between what we hoped for and what actually arrived. But the s...

In Week 3 of the 3D Kingdom Living series, Pastor Jamie Wright brings a powerful and hope-filled message on Determination — not the kind fueled by self-effort, but the kind carried by grace. We all walk through seasons where quitting feels easier than continuing. Life gets heavy. Emotions shake us. Discouragement whispers that it’s time to tap out. But Scripture shows us that falling is not failur...

In Part 2 of the 3D Kingdom Living series — Dedication, Pastor Jamie Wright unpacks the heartbeat of true discipleship: a life shaped not by pressure, perfection, or striving, but by identity. Dedication isn’t a demand—it’s the natural family resemblance of sons and daughters who know who they are in Christ. Pastor Jamie walks us through five arenas where Kingdom dedication becomes visible: our re...

In this powerful kickoff to the 3D Kingdom Living series, Pastor Jamie Wright unpacks what it truly means to live a disciplined life in the Kingdom of God—not out of striving, but out of surrender. Using the illustration of a runner training for a long race, Pastor Jamie reminds us that spiritual discipline isn’t punishment—it’s partnership. Grace is not a drill sergeant shouting orders; it’s a pe...

In this powerful and relatable message, Pastor Jonathan Dupee shares a story from his recent elk hunting trip in the mountains. On that journey, he relied on an experienced guide named Landon—someone who knew the land, understood the signs, and could lead him safely to the prize he was pursuing. Pastor Jonathan draws a compelling parallel between trusting a hunting guide in unfamiliar wilderness a...

In this transformative message, Pastor Jamie Wright exposes one of the enemy’s oldest tricks—deception by amnesia. Drawing from the Garden of Eden to King David’s fall, Pastor Jamie teaches that deception doesn’t start with disobedience—it starts with forgetting who you are. You were made in the image of God, yet like Eve, we often reach for what we already possess. This sermon uncovers the deep t...

What does it really mean to represent heaven here on earth? In this powerful and timely message, Pastor Jamie Wright unpacks the responsibility of every believer as an ambassador of Christ. We're not just citizens of heaven—we're sent ones on assignment, carrying the culture, compassion, and authority of the Kingdom of God into every sphere of life. You’ll discover: Why the Kingdom is not just a f...

Have you ever wondered why we’re so captivated by stories of kings, queens, and kingdoms? In this message, Pastor Matthew Wright unpacks the deep spiritual truth behind that longing — you were made for royalty. From Genesis to Jesus to you, this sermon reveals God’s original design: that humanity would rule and reign with Him as partners in His Kingdom. Pastor Wright explores what it really means...
