Grace Presbyterian Round Rock

On Epiphany Sunday, we close the season of Advent and Christmas and step together into a new year of faith and hope. In the sermon “Fear Doesn’t Stop Us,” we reflect on the journey of the magi—traveling through a dangerous world, guided not by certainty, but by trust. Pastor Nancy Reeves’ message reminds us that faith doesn’t erase fear, but it helps us move through it with courage and hope. As we...

This week, as we enter the Fourth Sunday of Advent, we’re asking a simple but honest question: What do you fear? Pastor Nancy will reflect on how Mary and Joseph faced uncertainty with courage, and how fear doesn’t have to isolate us—it can draw us closer to one another and to God. We’ll explore how God meets fear with presence, not perfection, and how we’re called to do the same. Welcome to the p...

This second week in Advent, Pastor Jan Alexander invites us to listen again to the story of John the Baptist, when he asks an honest question from prison: “Are you the one?” It’s a question we ask, too, when life grows heavy, and the path ahead feels unclear. Jesus doesn’t offer easy answers to John. He points to quiet signs of God already at work: healing, restoration, new life breaking in just a...

This week, as Advent begins, we’re invited to step into the world where the Christmas story first unfolded—a world “in the time of King Herod,” where uncertainty, fear, and longing shaped everyday life. Zechariah, an elderly priest, had watched his homeland fall under Roman rule. He carried both a nation’s ache and his own private hopes. And in Lamentations, we hear another voice crying out in per...

This week, Pastor Reeves invites us to look beyond our closets and into the deeper wardrobe Paul describes in Colossians 3. As God’s beloved people, we’re called to clothe ourselves with compassion, kindness, patience, forgiveness — and above all, love. Gratitude doesn’t come from perfect circumstances. It comes from knowing who we are in Christ. When His peace rules our hearts, we can show up to...

This week, we wrap up our “Belonging & Becoming” series by exploring what it means to become the church God needs today. We belong to God—and from that belonging, we’re called to shine Christ’s light in our community and beyond. Here at Grace, that light shows up in the ways we feed the hungry, support our neighbors, nurture our children and youth, and offer compassion to those who need it most. I...

Every one of us longs to belong— to be seen, valued, and loved. We search for that belonging in family, friendships, and work, yet anything built only on our own effort can feel fragile. This Sunday, Pastor Nancy Reeves invites us to rediscover where true belonging begins— with God. As Psalm 100 reminds us, “It is God who made us, and we are His.” So wherever you are—on your morning walk, at home,...

This Sunday, as we celebrate twenty-six years of ministry at Grace, we’re coming home. Home to the stories that shaped us, the people who loved us, and the God who still runs to meet us with open arms. Pastor Nancy Reeves shares “A Place to Belong, A Call to Become: Coming Home to Grace,” inspired by Jesus’ parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15. It’s a story of grace that finds us wherever we are...

Have you ever prayed and wondered if God was even listening? You’re not alone. This week, Pastor Nancy Reeves shares the story of the persistent widow as we continue to study Luke’s Gospel. She shows us a woman who refused to give up when everything around her said “no.” It’s a story about faith that doesn’t quit, about a God who never stops listening, and about the kind of love that holds on when...

Welcome to Grace Presbyterian Church’s sermon podcast. We all know how easy it is to get so engulfed in life that we stop noticing the lovely little things going on around us. In Luke’s Gospel, ten lepers are healed by Jesus—but only one comes back to give thanks. Just one. This week, Pastor Nancy Reeves shares a message called “Be the Tenth One.” It’s a reminder that gratitude isn’t just good man...

This week on the Grace Presbyterian Church sermon podcast, we’re celebrating World Communion Sunday — a day when Christians around the world gather at Christ’s table as one family. Pastor Reeves’ message, “No Stars Upon Thars at the Lord’s Table,” takes a playful cue from Dr. Seuss’s The Sneetches, reminding us that in Christ, labels and divisions lose their power. Join us as we reflect on what it...

This Sunday at Grace, Pastor Reeves will be sharing a message titled “Passing the Vision Test.” Together, we’ll explore how Jesus invites us to retrain our eyes and our hearts—to notice the people God places right in front of us. In a world that so easily numbs us with busyness or indifference, Christ opens our vision to something greater: to see people the way God sees them. It’s a vision that cr...

Out of all of Jesus’ parables, half are about money. Today, Pastor Owens helps us examine one of the most perplexing passages about worldly possessions. In Luke 16:1-13, Jesus tells a surprising story of a dishonest manager who suddenly faces an audit. Caught in his dishonesty, the manager scrambles to secure his future by reducing the debts of others, hoping to gain their favor. It may seem like...

This week, Pastor Reeves shares a message from Luke 15:1–10 titled “In Between Lost and Found.” We all know what it feels like to live in that space—not fully lost, but not quite found either; not rejected, but not fully received. In this passage, Jesus tells a story about a shepherd who never gives up searching until every sheep is safe. It’s a reminder that no one is expendable and each of us is...

Many of us are comfortable walking alongside Jesus—listening to his words, admiring his example, and appreciating his presence. But the gospel calls us to take a deeper step, to move from simply traveling with Jesus to actually living as his disciples. What does that shift look like in the way we care for our families, in the choices we make with our possessions, and in the way we shape our everyd...

Where do you usually sit at the table? In a cafeteria, at a banquet, or even in church, we often assume that the place we occupy says something about our importance or our worth. But the way of Jesus is different. In Luke 14:7–14, He reminds us that God’s Kingdom turns our expectations upside down. The seating chart is rewritten—not by status, wealth, or influence—but by grace. With Jesus, everyon...

We pray for the church so that we would be known not for judgment, but for grace. Not for fear, but for love. Not for exclusion but for welcome. Our prayer is that we be reminded that the church is about community. Open our eyes to all the ways we are spiritually bent over, and how we define ourselves and others. Pastor Reeves continues to walk with us with “Bent Out of Shape” from the gospel of L...

This Sunday, we launch a new year of ministry, celebrating the truth that every person matters in the body of Christ. Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians 12 remind us that the Church is a living body, each part unique, each part needed, each part connected. Belonging isn’t about “fitting in,” but about bringing our authentic selves, trusting that God has given each of us a vital role. In "A Place to Bel...

As we get ready to start the school year again, God reminds us to carry compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience in our backpacks. This week, Ben Reeves, one of our college students, explores how God gives us the opportunity to transform our living backpack from messy into a living backpack organized with what God wants for us. The sermon, “What Are You Carrying?” is based on the scr...

In a world obsessed with accumulating more—more stuff, more status, more security—Jesus tells a striking parable about a man with overflowing barns but an empty soul. What are we really storing up in our lives? And how can we become rich in what matters most to God? As we enter August, Pastor Reeves helps us explore what it means to live generously, love deeply, and invest in the kind of treasure...

This week Pastor Reeves will conclude our Out of the Cave series with a message from 1 Kings 19:15-21 titled “From Burnout to Blessed.” After walking through depression and despair, Elijah is given a new mission—and a companion in Elisha. This final step out of the cave reminds us that God never intended us to walk alone. We’ll reflect on how healing often comes through relationships. If you’ve fe...

Sometimes we settle in and live our lives, wondering if we are lacking a life that is fulfilling. This week at Grace Presbyterian Church, we continue our walk with Elijah through “Get Off My Mountain,” as found in 1 Kings 19:9-15, where the prophet Elijah is visited by God, who gives him a new purpose to leave his cave. Join us and discover the hope, community, and direction you've been searching...

Life is full of moments worth celebrating — sometimes, all it takes is a little focus to make them happen. But what do we do when everything you’ve been planning unravels in an instant? When joy collides with heartbreak? This week, Tricia Lozano shares her powerful faith journey — a story marked by both deep celebration and unexpected sorrow. In her message, “Bright Flowers, Dark Waters,” she invi...

You might be living a life of strong faith, where you’re doing all the right things, but inside, you feel like you’re barely holding it together. Today, we continue with 1 Kings 19, looking at how the prophet Elijah collapses under a broom tree, overwhelmed and exhausted. God doesn’t scold him—God lets him sleep, feeds him, and gently says, “The journey is too much for you.” But then what? Pastor...

No matter how strong your faith is, you might find yourself overwhelmed, burned out, or feeling like you’re stuck in a cave. That’s exactly where we find the prophet Elijah in this week’s scripture. After a major spiritual victory, Elijah spirals into fear, exhaustion, and despair. Today at Grace Presbyterian Church, Pastor Reeves leads us through Elijah’s story, showing how his struggles mirror o...
