In week three of our series, The Gospel of John: Full of Grace and Truth, we take a closer look at John 3:16–17, two of the most familiar verses in the Bible. While many of us know John 3:16 by heart, we may be less familiar with the verses that come after it and the depth of the darkness we are saved from. Through the picture of a courtroom, we see the reality of our sin, the verdict of guilt, an...

This Sunday, Jonathan Moore shared a message from Luke 10 titled The Neighbor You Didn’t Want. Through the story of the Good Samaritan, we are reminded that loving our neighbor means more than simply caring for the people within our circle.

In the final week of our series, Counterfeit Christianity: The Truth About False Teaching, we take a closer look at what the Bible says about who Jesus is. Scripture is clear that Jesus claimed to be God, proved it through His authority over creation, sin, and death, and was recognized as God by His earliest followers. If you don’t believe these things about Jesus, you can’t claim the Christian fa...

In week three of our series, Counterfeit Christianity: The Truth About False Teaching, we take a closer look at what happens when we let culture or ourselves define who God is. The Bible tells us that God has revealed Himself clearly, and while He is mysterious, He is also knowable. When we lose clarity about who God is, we lose clarity about who we are. The goal of this series is to become so fam...

In week two of our series, Counterfeit Christianity: The Truth About False Teaching, we take a closer look at the prosperity gospel and what the Bible actually says about wealth, health, generosity, and following Jesus. As Christians, we are called to be radically and cheerfully generous, not so we can get something from God, but because God has already given us everything. The goal of this series...

In the first week of our new series, Counterfeit Christianity: The Truth About False Teaching, we explore what the Bible says about recognizing false teaching and knowing the truth so well that deception becomes obvious.

In week three of our series, Still Standing: How to Keep Faith When Life Falls Apart, we explore How to Keep Faith When Life Won’t Let Up.

In week two of our series, Still Standing: How to Keep Faith When Life Falls Apart, we explore How to Keep Faith Through Infertility and Miscarriage. We look at what Scripture says about waiting, why God's silence doesn't mean His absence, and how pain is not proof that God is punishing you.

In week one of our new series, Still Standing: How to Keep Faith When Life Falls Apart, we tackle one of life's hardest questions: How do you keep your faith after the death of someone you love?

In the final message of our series, The Bible Tells Me So, we answer one of the biggest questions people ask about Christianity: Why do Christians interpret the Bible so differently? We discover that Christians actually agree on far more than most people realize, and that the loudest disagreements are often not the majority. We also look at why many differences come from faithful attempts to under...

As we celebrated Father's Day together, we continued our series The Bible Tells Me So by wrestling with a question that every believer eventually faces: How do I trust the Bible when I disagree with it? The real test of biblical trust isn't what we do with the verses we love. It's what we do with the verses we wish weren't there. This message explores why disagreement doesn't have to weaken our fa...

In the third message of our series The Bible Tells Me So, we explore a question many people wrestle with: Why is an ancient book like the Bible still relevant today? From eyewitness accounts and fulfilled prophecy to the resurrection of Jesus, this message examines the evidence behind Scripture's reliability and challenges us to consider whether the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus are histo...

In the second message of our series The Bible Tells Me So, we explore one of the most common objections to Christianity: Isn't the Bible full of contradictions? From God's wrath and mercy to His sovereignty and our free will, Scripture is filled with truths that can seem difficult to reconcile. This message challenges us to look beyond the surface and discover that these aren't contradictions to d...

In the first message of our series The Bible Tells Me So, we explore a question many people are asking today: Why is the Bible worth trusting? You can easily go online and find the historical, archaeological, and scientific evidence that points to the reliability of Scripture. Instead, this message takes a more personal approach, looking at three reasons we can trust the Bible: it has remained und...

This Sunday, Jonathan Moore shared a message titled Reordering the Heart: The Divine Sequence of Love.

This message challenges us to examine what may be competing for first place in our...

In the final message of our sermon series No Other Gospel, we look at one of the central themes of Galatians: freedom. Through Galatians 5, we are reminded that Jesus didn’t set us free to live however we want, but to walk by the Spirit and love others well. This message challenges us to examine how we may be abusing our freedom while encouraging us to focus less on rule keeping and more on walkin...

In this special Mothers Day message at The Grove Church, we continue week 5 of our series No Other Gospel by looking at one of the most beautiful truths of the gospel: adoption.
