Grace Chapel

Can we stay connected in a time of social distancing? Jesus used meals as a way to see, love, and elevate those around him who needed it most. We can and must continue to live this way. We just need to be creative!

We find peace when we turn to God because He is present, because He is powerful, and because he is purposeful. He is always working to accomplish His good and eternal purposes.

Why are we such poor listeners? Listening is often more difficult that we realize. It's not just about not talking, it's about listening with care and this means we must listen with our heart to the heart of another. Jesus models this for us in his conversation with the Canaanite woman who had a daughter who was demon-possessed. At first, it looks like Jesus isn't interested ... but at closer exam...

This week, we discover that this journey begins with prayer.

In the next 5 weeks, we are going to uncover some very practical ways to be a blessing to people that God brings into our lives.

Can you believe in God without Jesus? God reveals himself to the world in the person of Jesus.

"Wouldn't we be better off without religion?" by Grace Chapel Sermon Media

Does God hate me? As I said at the beginning of the series, this one caught us by surprise. It was the third most Googled question about God.

Of all the questions we’ve asked in this series, this one may be the most uncomfortable.

Where is God in the midst of our pain and suffering?

The Bible is the best-selling book of all time, and a primary source of people's ideas about God. But can we trust it?

. The evidence is compelling, but in the end, you’ll have to decide and discover for yourself if God is real.

Today, we will read how wonder was on the run when the holy family was told to flee to Egypt. And interestingly, a literal translation of the word for flee was the phrase, “to take safety in flight.” I’m sorry but that seems like an oxymoron to me. Safety in flight?

Have you ever felt as though Christmas has lost its wonder? The Christmas story teaches us that we need to embrace our childlike wonder to experience the unexpected ways God shows up in the world.

Christmas Monologue 2019 by Grace Chapel Sermon Media

Life isn’t always wonderful. God never promised that it would be. What He did promise was to be with us, and do something good, even with our disappointments and heartaches. When life isn’t wonderful, God still works wonders.

Most Christ-followers aspire to live faith-filled and Spirit-led lives but in the everyday battles and stress, we often trip in doing almost the opposite of what we intended. We struggle in showing grace to ourselves, in our relationships, even across our generations. We need help and this passage in Galatians shows us how to grace in a Spirit-filled community.

As children we experience wonder constantly and that wonder leads to growth and vitality. But can that sense of wonder survive adulthood?

The work of the Spirit begins with a decision: a decision to die to that old way of living – trying in your own strength to be good, and relying instead on the Holy Spirit to produce the life of God within you.

So Grace sets us free……from the world’s judgments; …from religion’s requirments And finally, grace sets us free…from our own failures
