Grace Christian Church Sermons

There is a specific difference between last weeks message about Christmas (that of HOPE) and today's message about Christmas… being a message of PEACE. With HOPE there is a small amount that can attributed to what we can DO... we know the word of God, we see the person of Jesus, we experience the moving the Holy Spirit and understand the love of our heavenly Father. BUT with PEACE it isn't a respo...

For this week we begin an examination of the Christmas Message... what it means, what it does, and what it can do for the seeking heart. Have a listen as we dive into this Christmas season. To watch the whole service click on the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8nje3vnU9g&t=2804s

On day three of the 21 Days of Prayer devotionals, Brother Bill made the point.. “We do not need others’ approval to pray for them – they do not have to answer to us before we can pray for them.” a valid point and one to be taken heed too. On the other side of this truth, though, is a reality that many of us can overlook and one the enemy wants us to forget too… and that is the example gives here...

This morning Ps. John Lee shares the word with us looking at the grace of God that is sufficient to meet all our needs... even when our prayers appear to go unanswered ( see 2 Cor 12:8 ) or the answer isn't the one we were after. Have a listen and be blessed as we hear the word this morning.  to watch the whole service click on the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANiggC0cqoQ&t=1449s...

Brother Jonathan Hui has taken the time to share some wonderful truths from Ephesians 1. The importance of knowing who you are plays a vital role in what you do, thus the necessity of the children of God to know clearly who we are as followers of Jesus Christ. to watch the whole service click the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_KYEyVNsFU&t=238s Have a blessed day brothers & sisters...

This morning Henry Earl Simpson comes and share from John 15 several lessons about the True Vine - Jesus Christ. I pray that whatever is preventing us from experiencing the fullness of His goodness... whatever that may be, will be dealt with, repented from, & overcome in Jesus' name! to watch the whole service click the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrdKFxY6hcI have a blessed day broth...

We’ve spent the last three weeks looking at ‘faith’ what it is, how it works, and where it leads. And while we’ve touched on what God can do through people when they are confronted by the unknown and directed move into the unknown, the beautiful truth that we close our chapter with today is by looking at the vessels that this great God chooses to use for the purpose of fulfilling His will on the e...

Where Joshua was called to move into the unknown last week, he & the children of Israel could boldly move into the unknown BECAUSE the Lord was with them!! How then, does one respond when the unknown comes to you? When, from out of the blue, a situation arises that causes you to question what you do, in whom you believe, and how the next step is to be taken? Thus, today's message is looking at...

Last week we looked at What God Can Do through the life of Moses… how God took the numerous obstacles, supposed failures, & created excuses, and used by a loving God to shape, develop, and support those that are His. This points to how the numerous obstacles, supposed failures, & created excuses we experience, can be the tool through which the Lord Jesus shapes, develops, & supports us...

One of the ways Hebrews 11 can be viewed, is from ‘God’s perspective.’ How HE moved through each of the individuals named provided they would trust Him. And while the God of Israel doesn’t NEED any of the, limited resources, people provide; He invited the likes of Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah AND us, to play an active part in His plans for humanity. That’s what makes this chapter so exciting!...

Today we’re going to look at a man referred to in Gal 3:9 as the ‘Man of Faith’ (Abraham). he is acknowledged as the patriarch of Israel and one who had the righteousness of God imputed to him because of faith in the one true God.  We read in Hebrews 11:17-19 of a specific event that he is commonly associated with… so as we continue our study in the 'Faith Hall of Fame' - we are going to be r...

Today we begin a new series looking at Faith from Hebrews 11... a chapter commonly referred to as the 'Faith Hall of Fame.' And while we are quick to acknowledge the accomplishments these men & women of God we must never lose sight of the fact that the focus is what GOD could do through these people - by faith. Have a listen as we look at this introductory message about faith defined, faith ex...

Today we 'close out' our study in Jonah… as we see more of God in his dealing with those who know him (Jonah), those who don’t know him (the sailors) and most amazingly those who are known to have nothing to do with Him at all (Nineveh). The greatness of His patience, the wonder of His love, and the extent of His grace are all exemplified in Jonah’s account and what’s more, reaches even further wh...

Today we get to see the steps God takes in restoring to Jonah the honour & privilege to continue in service of the Almighty. Thus, the God of Second Chances is revealed; the authority of God's Strong Word is made manifest; and the Supernatural Miraculous take place because 'For God so loved the world...' (Jn 3:16a). And, in turn, we see the these same truths made evident to us as the children...

Last week we began a study in Jonah… we looked at his calling and drew some important lessons that could be applied to us as Christians (specifically Fathers as we celebrated Fathers Day). Today we continue the study in Jonah, and we'll look at his response (as he flee's God's call) and the gracious persistence God shown toward him. Never should we allow the shadow of familiarity to lessen the lus...

For Mothers Day in March we had a look at Jochebed, a mother that entrusted her son to the Lord as looked at ‘God’s Grace Upon Her’ ... a miraculous moving of the Lord in her life, as she did what she could but, in the end, could only commit her son into the hands of God Almighty. Today is Father’s Day, and today we’re going to look at a biblical character that, while not a dad, see how he conduct...

Brother Jono Hui shares the word from the book of Habakkuk and follows his journey with God. How God moves the prophet from a place of despair and brings him to the place of hope... not by changing his circumstances, but rather revealing Himself that Habakkuk's focus would change. Have a listen to see what lessons apply to us too as we look at what in means to 'live with hope' in our God. to watch...

When confronted with a challenge, a problem, or an obstacle, the way it is seen… or the perspective you have, plays a huge part in how the next step is taken. So too in our walks with Jesus… if all you see is what God isn’t doing (from your perspective) then you’ll totally miss out of witnessing what God IS doing from His perspective. If all you see is what you DON’T have (from your perspective) t...

When you read the scriptures we can quickly see that living with some sort of ‘restrictions’ was nothing new to the saints of old. From the days of Moses – to the time of the Apostles – at the age of the Reformers – and today’s conditions for the persecuted church… the capacity for & the opportunity to grow, develop, & mature as followers of Jesus Christ has always been present, even in th...

What is Anxiety? Why do we get anxious and how do we go about our lives when faced with so much distress in the world today? Today we look at a well known passage of scripture from Paul's letter to the Philippian church... in this passage we'll look at three instructions that, prayerfully, will equip us to live above anxiety. [1] standing firm in the Lord - in this way  [2] do not be anxious...

This is the final Core Value of Grace Christian Church... and that is how we, as disciples of Jesus Christ, are not only a Building (built on a the firm foundation of Christ), a Body (diverse and yet united in Christ), and a Bride (loved to death by Christ), but we are also set apart to as the Family of God too. Purchased by His blood, sealed by His Spirit, secured by His love... thus, we get to l...

Today's sermon is looking at two of the greatest expressions we have been blessed with as followers of Jesus... that of Prayer & Worship.  For much of the church today, there is a loss of appreciation & valuing of these aspects in our Christian journey...they are not expectations we have earned but rather blessings we have been given. So this morning we are going to look a little more...

The definition of ‘culture’ is very formal and interpreted differently due to one’s context; in light of this, Culture can be defined as ‘…the qualities for which a specific group (i.e. family, team, church, etc.) or location (i.e. country, district, community, etc.) is defined or known by (a family culture defined by love; a winning culture defined by success; a toxic culture defined by tearing d...

Now there is an interesting wording in this core value that, to me, makes it stand out from the others.  You see the previous Core Values can be considered ‘reminders or prompts’ that align us as a church and as individuals with the heart, mind, & goals of God as revealed through Jesus Christ. This Core Value isn’t a prompt or reminder but rather an exhortation, or an expectation placed u...

Today we have a guest speaker who has taken the time to record a message about GCC's 6th Core Value. Henry looks at several things regarding how we, as the church, can make an impact for the kingdom of God through our supernatural identity as God's children. That our love would be real and our motivation genuine ans we seek to show the love of Jesus to the world. That our Core Value of: "Love &amp...
