Grace Christian Church Sermons

For many of us, we may see serving (whatever the capacity) as as a burden; it may be viewed as a chore; if you want to view it pessimistically it’s an avenue for free labour & resources for the church. Even for those in ministry, that may have started out as enthusiastically and excitable are soon discouraged and wondering ‘what’s the point or why even bother' mindset. This all comes from the...

The word ‘EVANGELISM/EVANGELIST’ means: …the preaching or promulgation of the gospel; the work of an evangelist . evangelicalism .missionary zeal, purpose, or activity. Evangelism, although an act usually propagated by one titled as an evangelist, So, lets start with what the word ‘EVANGELISM/EVANGELIST’ means: …the preaching or promulgation of the gospel; the work of an evangelist . evangelicalis...

As we continue our series on the Core Values of the Church, we are examining the third, foundational, value by which the church is to be governed. As controversial as this may seem, the church is not a democracy - for the Bible is to be the governing authority for the churches direction; nor is the church as dictatorship - for the Bible supersedes any mans (leader or otherwise) personal agenda. Th...

(we had some recording issues that caused the sound to drop out... our apologies for the listening/watching experience) D.L. Moody makes a point in his book 'Secret Power' - that many Christians today have forgotten the PERSON of the Holy Spirit. Thus, as we continue our series on the core values of Grace Christian Church, we look at God the Holy Spirit, as He is revealed in the scriptures. Join u...

In Acts 2:42-47 we are given the 'blueprint' of a New Testament church... a blueprint that we, at GCC, are endeavoring to fulfill. Therefore we begin a new series looking at the Core Values we hold here at Grace Christian Church, in order to refocus our vision, remind us of our call, and reinvigorate us in our journey, as followers of the Lord Jesus. Our first Core Value? CORE VALUE #1: Jesus Chri...

As we have studied various women in the Bible and looking at the Grace of God upon each of them, this week is the final sermon for this series... looking at the greatness of the Lord Jesus and His grace upon the Widow of Nain (Luke 7). Prayerfully you will be blessed by the greatness of Gods grace upon you too as we look at the Lord Jesus and how amazing He is! Have a blessed day brothers & si...

Continuing our study of Gods grace upon various women in the Bible, we look at the account of Martha... a woman of scripture that often gets a 'bad wrap' because of the 'complaints' she made to Jesus about her sister, Mary (Luke 19:38-42) This morning we look at two main points [1] the familiarity to ourselves that Martha represents & [2] the greatness of Jesus Christ that is revealed. I pray...

Happy Mothers Day!! Often we forget that our walk with Jesus is a joint venture WITH God, He has given us various things within our capability to exercise as His child. Thus, as we look at Jochebed from Exodus 2:1-10, we see three very important lessons we must consider as we walk in the roles the Lord has bestowed upon us -- as Mothers, Fathers, & children. Have a blessed day brothers & s...

Today we look at the journey Leah takes in her longing to be loved by and connected to her husband Jacob (Genesis 29:31-35). In the experience she goes through, we can see the grace of God being manifest in Him Seeing her, Hearing her, giving Hope to her resulting in her Thankfulness in Praise. May you be blessed as you look to our God who sees!! Have a blessed day brothers & sisters... if you...

Bob Mendelsohn spent some time after the morning service, sharing about the ministry of Jews for Jesus, the working of God in His people, and fielding questions from various members of GCC. He addressed Israel, reaching out to Jewish people and widening our perspective, may you be blessed as you join us in 'An Hour with Bob'   God bless brothers & sisters! If you wish to watch this relaxe...

We have been very blessed to have Bob Mendelsohn, the Director of Jews for Jesus Australia, come to GCC and share the scriptures with us.  He takes us on a journey to discover, within the 'Older Testament' (as Bob refers to it), the various 'jigsaw pieces' or clues found within. When they are placed together we see the picture of the Messiah begin to take shape... have a listen as Bob shares...

Last week we looked at ‘the God in Charge’ – it was but a skimming over the amazing truth that God is God, He is Boss, and He is in control.  In the days of Noah, when every imagination of mans heart was only evil continually – He was in charge; when His people were in slavery in Egypt and they cried out for help in their oppression – He was in charge;  When Jesus was nailed to a Cross a...

After the blessing of camp, it was a joy to get back into the Lord's House and worship together as a church. Today we look at a basic lesson found within scripture that, if fully grasped, can change our entire perspective regarding our Christian lives... the fact that God is God and He is Boss!! He was in charge during Noah's day, He was in charge during the Lord's crucifixion, He is in charge eve...

The final session of teaching from Mike Peautangitama.  It has been a blessed journey, as the challenge to 'go deeper' in various aspects of our Christian lives has been laid before us.   The question we must address is 'what are we going to do now!?' - we can either choose to remain in the shallows of our faith, never growing, never knowing, and never experiencing the fullness of God's...

Praise the Lord for He is Risen... and so it's appropriate that Mike takes us on a journey to 'go deeper in our faith' - by drawing some very applicable examples from the life of Gideon.   Join us this session as we look into the scriptures and glean some amazing truths from God's Word!! Just click on the link to watch Mike share the Word with us this blessed morning: https://www.youtube.com/...

For many of us in GCC, this was an insight that hadn't been touched on... Israel.  The 'apple of His eye' (Zec 2:8) that still has a part to play in God's redemptive plan... this message from Mike is an excellent means by which we can delve into more biblical truths regarding Gods elect (Israel).   A side note: on the 25th April 2021 the director of Jews for Jesus Australia will be comin...

In our continuing series 'Deeper'; Mike looks at the practical outworking of being the family of God. Jesus said we'll be identified as His people by our love for each other (Jn 13:35 ​).   Since, then, we are going deeper in the Word, the result would be manifest by our growth in love as well as knowledge.  May you be blessed as you listen to this next study session. To view the actual...

For the first session of this 'Invitation to Go Deeper' - Mike looks at going deeper in our walk with Jesus by us, as Christians, Going Deeper Into His Word.  And as we do so, look to [1] position ourselves to hear from Him [2] be willing to hear what He has to say [3] utilize the resources mad available to us [4] utilize the opportunities to share what what God has taught [5] guard a teachab...

Welcome to GCC's Family Camp for 2021.    After a year filled with worry, separation & social isolation, it was truly a blessing to spend 5 days at Stanwell Tops as a church family.  For those at the camp, it was a blessing to sing, fellowship, pray, and invest into each other over the weekend. For those unable to attend, may you be blessed with watching the teaching sessions of...

This is the final message to finish our (brief) study in Galatians.  Looking at the final passage from Gal 6:11-18 we examine the closing words of Paul epistle to these churches. A good word, a bad word, and the best word that, prayerfully, encourage us to listen & discern carefully the Spirit says to us from the scriptures. Have a blessed day as you head about your business and remember...

As we come to the last chapter of Galatians, Jono shares with us from Galatians 6:1-10 and breaks down the practical instructions regarding what a life, lived by the Spirit, looks like. The blessedness of the Christian life is that, although such instruction seems beyond us to follow, it can be accomplished as one trusts in Jesus; rests in Jesus, and relies on Jesus for living free in Him. To watc...

Looking at Galatians 5:13-26 we, prayerfully, examine some of the basic instructions to help us fulfill our call to Freedom (v.13); enable us to Walk in the Spirit (v.16) and prepare us to Keep in Step with the Spirit too (v.25). Just click on the link to watch the whole service: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bq9qNh7xvJc&t=1702s or join us via the livestream on Sunday mornings at 10:15am Syd...

Continuing our study in Galatians we finally come across the perfect practical instruction for Christians to implement in their walk with Jesus. Seeing we have received freedom in Christ, we are now charged to "Stand firm" in  that freedom and not return to the "yoke of slavery". Staying in Galatians 5:1 we examine a little more in depth what "standing firm" means. To watch the whole service...

When we become so accustomed to various aspects of life we can take for granted the privileged position we have been given. Being, now, a Son & Daughter of God is one such aspect we fail to see the significance of... from 'apart' to 'adopted'; from 'slavery' to 'sonship'; from cursed to blessed ALL because of the Lord Jesus Christ. Join us today as we look at Galatians 4:6-9 and touch on the w...

Have you ever felt like your Christian walk is like a series of 'acts' that you move through? As if you feel as through your whole Christian journey is 'going through the motions?' In the continuation of our study in Galatians, Paul looks at refocusing the churches vision and the emphasizing one's relationship with Jesus instead of the busy-ness of religious ritual. To view the whole worship servi...
