Grace Chapel Castle Rock Sermons

Guest speaker Ken Harrison joins us and shares a message on Unity in the church.

As followers of Jesus Christ, we are all gifted through the Holy Spirit. Using our gift(s) to glorify God and serve people is an essential part of our faith journey. Join us today as guest speaker Scott Fisher joins us and shares a message on how we use these gifts for God's glory and blessing others.

Guest speaker and Grace Chapel Castle Rock member, TIm Scott, shares a message on what it means "To Be Sent" as Jesus followers.

What if your child walks away? Today we wrap up a four-part series on Family Discipleship. We'll consider the heartbreaking reality that many children walk away from Christ as they grow older, no matter how intentional or committed their parents were. I'll share three works that only God can do in a person's heart, then an incredible couple from Grace Chapel will share their story of a prodigal ch...

We're continuing this morning our 4-part series on Family Discipleship. Here are four questions we can ask if we want to influence the next generation for Christ. 1. Modeling – are we proactively being the Christ-follower we want our children to become? 2. Guarding – are we proactively guarding them from harmful influences? 3. Teaching – are we proactively teaching them about Jesus from the Script...

Join us as GCCR Elder Terry Cartrite shares with us the importance of how we model our lives to our children. Be the Christ follower you hope your children become.

If your child is raised Agnostic, Atheist, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, or Amish, studies tell us they have a higher likelihood of retaining their upbringing/religion than if they are raised Christian. We can do better. Today we're starting a brand new series called Family Discipleship. The goal of these messages is to equip parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles and anyone investing in the next genera...

If you've ever been in an unhealthy relationship, one of the common traits you experienced is an imbalance between what you gave and received. - Rules without relationship - Truth without grace - Correction without affirmation This morning we'll discover two key actions we need to balance in our relationship with God.

Young people are capable of incredible things. Join us today as we discover Solomon's instruction to them. We'll find three anchors to help them love and follow Jesus all the days of their life.  

The Titanic wasn't sunk by a massive hole. All it took to bring down the huge ship was an opening of about 12 square feet. So it is in our lives. We can spend decades building... - a ministry… and one act of indiscretion discredits it. - a business… and one poor decision leaves you facing bankruptcy. - a marriage… and one affair ends it all. - a family… and one drunk driver destroys it. - a reputa...

Which of these can you relate to the most?   A) "Resolved, to think much on all occasions of my own dying, and of the common circumstances which attend death." - Jonathan Edwards, Resolution #9 B) "I'm not afraid to die; I just don't want to be there when it happens." - Woody Allen   When it comes to thinking about death and dying, many of us tend toward Woody's approach. But as we move through Ec...

Life is full of surprises. Things happen that we never planned for.   Someone dies or gets sick. A major injury alters our life. A financial loss comes out of nowhere. Our home floods. Our spouse says they're leaving. Our company says we’re no longer needed.   In Ecclesiastes 7 and 8, Solomon pulls no punches in telling us that life is often not fair. These things disrupt our faith. They can dimin...

Years ago I heard a wise friend say that if most of the troubles we experience in life are because we got something we did NOT want, the rest of the troubles are because we did not get something we DID want. Discontentment is a powerful thing. It can drive so much of what we do, from the decisions we make to passions we pursue to the places we live. Today we'll discover a powerful perspective towa...

In 1938, Harvard began studying young men from a variety of different backgrounds. They eventually included their spouses, grandkids, etc. After almost 90 years of studying adult development, they've found that the single biggest predictor of a person's overall quality of life tends to be the quality of their relationships. A person's satisfaction with their relationships at age 50 is a better pre...

If you could have more of one thing, what would it be? In our teens, it may be more fun and adventure. In our 20's and 30's it may be more success and financial freedom. In our 40's and 50's, it may be more rest. But if you could ask your 80 year old self that same question... their most likely answer would be something much different. They'd likely tell you the one thing they wish they could have...

Grace Chapel Castle Rock Elder, Terry Cartrite, shares a message out of John 2 where Jesus does the extraordinary out of the ordinary.

The year was 1787. 55 delegates from 12 of the 13 states had just finished the Constitutional Convention where they signed the original United States Constitution. As Benjamin Franklin was leaving Independence Hall, he was asked what kind of government they had created. He replied with these profound words: "A republic, if you can keep it." This Sunday we'll ask the question... how can we keep thi...

One of the most common cycles we find ourselves in is the Hungry - Hustle - Happy - Hollow cycle. We get (1) Hungry for something so we (2) Hustle to get it. We're (3) Happy, but that happiness soon becomes (4) Hollow. The book of Ecclesiastes has profound and life-changing wisdom to help us break out of this cycle. Today, we'll discover a truth that allows us to find lasting fulfillment.

Life without God is empty. That's a core thesis of Solomon's message in a book called Ecclesiastes. This morning we'll begin our study of this rich book. If you feel an ache that this world can't seem to fill, Solomon has a proven path to finding meaning in life.

Guest speaker, Ken Harrison shares a word on the Sermon on the Mount out of Matthew 5.

Valuable things are worth protecting. Today we'll discover how to find security for the single most important thing about us, our soul. If you're in Christ, something far more powerful than you is guarding your soul.

God's presence is either a place of supreme safety or extreme danger. This reality can make it difficult to approach God. We can tend to be fearful or insecure. "What does He have in store for me?" If you struggle coming to God because you feel unworthy, fearful, etc., there's good news for you today. Jesus has made it possible for us to enter into God's presence without fear of punishment or cond...

GCCR Elder, Terry Cartrite, shares a message from Galatians on what adoption into God's family really looks like and what is means for followers of Christ.

"Christ is more glad of us than we are of Him. The Father's heart is ever toward His children even when they wander." - Thomas Goodwin I admit I struggle with that last phrase. If it's true, if God's heart really is "ever toward His children EVEN WHEN THEY WANDER", it changes everything. It changes how we understand God. It changes how we relate to people. It changes where we turn when we stray. I...

One of the most freeing and empowering things you can ever do is draw your identity from God's objective truth, not your subjective feelings. This morning we'll discover how our identity is transformed at the cross. This is an amazing concept and such good news for anyone in Christ. If you are in Christ, God is for you. What you have done yesterday does not define who you are today.
