The Grove Church

This Easter at The Grove Church, we celebrated that Jesus is alive and how that changes everything. The first people to hear “Christ is risen” weren’t filled with joy, but fear and confusion, reminding us that the reality of the empty tomb challenges what we think we know and invites us to see for ourselves. Join us next week as we jump into a brand new series you won’t want to miss!

Tonight on Good Friday, we remember the cross because it is central to our faith and not something we ever move on from or graduate from. Jesus did not just die for us, but instead of us and because of us. The encouragement is to remember the cross daily. What sin do you need to crucify in your life and trust that it was nailed to the cross of Jesus? Friday is good because Sunday s coming. Join us...

Today for Palm Sunday, we looked at a hard truth: the danger of unmet expectations and how they can shape or shake our faith in God. The crowd praised Jesus for who they expected Him to be, but when He didn’t meet those expectations, everything changed, reminding us to trust who He truly is, not just what we want Him to do. We also have the privilege of hearing Gina Brown share her testimony, and...

Today we wrapped up Conversations With God by answering a hard question: Why isn’t God answering my prayers? The truth is He is. Just not always the way we expect. Sometimes the answer is no, sometimes it’s not yet, and both are for our good and growth. Join us next week as we jump into a new series that we are really excited about!

Today we continued our series, Conversations with God, with a live Q&A by answering some of the most honest and practical questions about prayer. As a church, we want to be a people who love God, love people, and ask questions, which is why we created space this week to hear and respond to your questions. Prayer is not meant to be a self-help tool or simply a way to get what we want. Scripture sho...

Today we continued our series, Conversations with God, by answering a practical question: How should we pray? Prayer is not about performing for others or trying to impress God with the perfect words. Jesus teaches that prayer should be focused on the heart rather than the vocabulary. Instead of empty or performative prayers, we are invited to approach our Father with humility, honesty, and trust,...

Today we continued our series, Conversations with God, with Matt Brown addressing a foundational question: Why should I pray? One common struggle in both culture and the church is believing that prayer is unnecessary, ineffective, or simply a last resort when things fall apart. Prayer is not about informing God of what He does not know, nor is it an attempt to bend His will to ours. It is an act o...

Today we begin our new series, Conversations with God, by addressing a foundational question: What is prayer? One common misconception in both culture and the church is that prayer is merely asking God for help. This message is for anyone who feels unsure about how to approach God. Prayer is not a formula or a spiritual wishlist, but a real conversation with God. Rather than simply talking at Him...

What is the significance of Ash Wednesday? Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent and calls us to remember a truth we often avoid: we are dust, and our days are numbered. Pastor Kale reflects on the meaning of ashes, the frailty of life, our need for repentance, the tension between the flesh and the Spirit, and the connection between prayer and fasting, reminding us that fasting is not merely a...

Today we continue our series, The Lies of Love, by confronting a deeply rooted belief in both culture and the church: that the goal of marriage is personal happiness. This message is for couples, future spouses, and anyone longing for a clearer, more biblical understanding of marriage. In this message, we challenge the “happily ever after” narrative and explore how God uses marriage to form holine...

Today we continue our series, The Lies of Love, by addressing one of the most pervasive lies in both culture and Christian culture: that singleness is a problem to be solved. This message is for singles and marrieds alike as we seek a better, more biblical understanding of singleness. In this message, we uncover how Scripture presents singleness not as a deficiency, but as a beautiful and meaningf...

Today we begin a new series, The Lies of Love, by addressing one of the most confusing and misunderstood topics in our culture: love. This message explores how both culture and the church often reduce love to slogans or relationship status and why those definitions fall short of what Scripture reveals. In this message, we confront the lie that love is most clearly defined when nothing is wrong and...

Today we continue our series, Why Do I Do What I Don’t Want To Do?, by wrestling with a tension many of us live in every day: control versus trust. This message speaks to the internal conflict of wanting to follow Jesus while still trying to manage outcomes, protect ourselves from disappointment, and stay in control of the future. If you’ve ever felt exhausted from trying to hold everything togeth...

Today we continue our series, Why Do I Do What I Don’t Want To Do?, by addressing a struggle many of us face but rarely name: people pleasing versus fearing God. This message speaks to the internal conflict of wanting to follow Jesus while feeling driven by the opinions, expectations, and approval of others. In this message, we uncover how people pleasing is rooted in misplaced fear and how it lea...

Today we continue our series, Why Do I Do What I Don’t Want To Do? A practical and honest guide to doing what God wants you to do. Why is it so easy to fall into patterns we know aren’t good for us? In this message, we explore Romans 7:15–20 and uncover one of the most hidden battles in our hearts: entitlement vs gratitude. Through Scripture and the story of the prodigal sons, we see how entitleme...

Today we begin a brand new series, Why Do I Do What I Don’t Want To Do? A Practical and Honest Guide to Doing What God Wants You To Do. Why do we keep repeating the same patterns we swear we’re done with? In this January series at The Grove Church, we’ll walk through Romans 7:15–20 to uncover the real battle beneath our habits, and discover how the gospel gives hope into our everyday struggles. Jo...

As we observe a Sabbath Sunday together and step into the new year, this message is needed more than ever. Sabbath is not just a suggestion, but a life-giving rhythm God designed for your good. This message unpacks Sabbath rest as both a rhythm from God and a reminder that you are not God. It addresses the danger of restlessness, the lie that rest means falling behind, and the freedom that comes w...

This Christmas Eve, we reflect on a simple but revealing question: What do you want for Christmas? This message looks beyond surface-level desires to the deeper longings of the human heart. Christmas is really good news that brings great joy for all people. While we often settle for lesser things, Jesus offers true satisfaction and lasting joy. What does Jesus want for Christmas? You, just as you...

Today we conclude our Christmas series, The Light in the Darkness: Unwrapping the Spiritual Reality of Christmas, by addressing one of the deepest questions we all wrestle with: identity. This final message explores who Jesus truly is and how understanding His identity shapes who we are, even in seasons of darkness. We looked at how Christmas reveals more than a moment in history. It reveals God w...

This week in our Christmas series, The Light in the Darkness, we uncovered the often unseen spiritual reality behind the nativity. Scripture reveals that Christmas is not just a peaceful scene at the manger, but the moment a real spiritual battle broke into history. This message explores the hidden war of Christmas, the reality of the enemy, our need for prayer and community, and the unshakable tr...

Today we launched our brand new Christmas series, The Light in the Darkness: Unwrapping the Spiritual Reality of Christmas. The story of Christmas begins long before Bethlehem, with the eternal Light that broke through the darkness at creation and still breaks into our lives today. This message dives into the power and purpose of the Light: a Light that creates life, destroys darkness, and calls e...

This Sunday, before entering the Christmas season, we had the honor to hear from Meredith Kirk Thompson as she unpacked a topic we rarely talk about during the holidays: conflict, especially the kind that comes from the people closest to us. We walked through the story of Joseph and were reminded that navigating conflict the way Jesus calls us to means staying present, testing our own hearts, and...

This Sunday at The Grove, we wrapped up our What If? series by looking at the simple but radical call of Jesus: Love God. Love People. Ask Questions. These aren’t just words for a sign, they’re the greatest commandment, the foundation of who we’re becoming as a church. Loving God first shapes how we love others, and the only way we can do either is by first receiving His love for us. We also ended...

This Sunday we continued our What If? series, A God-Given Vision for The Grove Church. We had the pleasure of hearing from guest speaker Matt Brown, delivering his second ever message here at The Grove. Matt spoke on radical generosity, reminding us that true giving isn’t just about meeting needs, it’s a joyful response to God’s own abundant generosity, rooted deep in who we are as followers of Je...

This Sunday at The Grove, we talked about what it means to live with reckless grace and uncompromised truth, to hold both, like Jesus did, in perfect tension. Grace without truth loses its power, and truth without grace loses its heart. But when the two collide, they reveal the beauty and cost of the cross. Join us next Sunday as we continue What If? A God-Given Vision for The Grove Church, a seri...
