Acts 15:1-35 | The Jerusalem Council 15.04.2018 34:04 ↓

In the middle of Paul’s travels we encounter the event of the Jerusalem Council. While we just spent time talking about the clear triumphs of the gospel in Paul’s first missionary journey last week, chapter 15 shows us a crisis that demands the attention of the whole church. The Jerusalem Council is the first of many gatherings of the faithful in church history that serve to bring clarity to our u...

Acts 13:1-14:28 | The First Missionary Journey 08.04.2018 40:38 ↓

We are back in the book of Acts and now find ourselves reaching the home stretch. In the beginning of the book, Jesus tells the disciples that they will be his witnesses “in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Chapter 13 begins with Saul and Barnabas in Antioch about to begin the work of reaching the nations with the gospel.

Acts 11:1-18 | The Heart Changing Gospel 11.02.2018 44:44 ↓

Acts 11 shares with us the moment that Peter reports the miraculous happenings at Cornelius’ house and what they mean for the church going forward. The church’s response to Peter’s report is telling of their long-held prejudices. But we also see the power of the gospel as those prejudices begin to crumble.

Revelation 21:9-22:5 | The Lamb Who Reigns in Glory 31.12.2017 34:00 ↓

We end our Advent series in the same place where the bible ends; the book of Revelation. It is appropriate to do this because the purpose for Jesus coming to us doesn’t conclude with his death, resurrection, or even his ascension back into heaven. But the final chapter of this great story of redemption ends with Christ restoring all things and dwelling with his people forever.

John 1:14-18 | The Lamb Who Makes His Father Known 17.12.2017 32:57 ↓

The Gospel of John begins with an explanation of the significance of the advent. In John 1:14-18, we see how far God goes to extend himself to us. It is greater than anything that the world has seen before it. Even surpassing that which came through Moses.

Acts 6:8-8:3 | Is Jesus Worth Dying For? 26.11.2017 43:47 ↓

As we end part one of Acts, the external threat of persecution builds to the point where the church suffers its first martyrdom. In his message to the religious leaders, Stephen frames up the Old Testament in the light of their current rejection of Christ and we see God’s providential hand moving in the aftermath of this tragedy.

The Power of Grace and the Danger of Sin 05.11.2017 ↓

Message from Pastor Mike Matheson on November 5, 2017

11. The Godward Life of Prayer 29.10.2017 ↓

Chapter 11 in Hear Me Now is on the mark of dying and documents the little deaths Pastor Jerry died as he became more and more like Christ. This sermon brings Jerry’s dependence on Christ through prayer into clear focus. Jerry has been retired for six years after thirty-five years as the Grace senior pastor. Interim Pastor Mike Matheson reads the scripture and then humorously and fondly introduces...
