Grace Christian Church Sermons

There is so much to be considered when we look at the amazing truths within this letter... the deliverance we have received in Jesus; the freedom imparted; and the newness we can walk in. These blessed truths are only possible because of the reality of Galatians 2:20... a verse that speaks to a 'willing death' resulting in a 'different life' because it is grounded in a 'solid faith.'  Have a...

What things 'trip' you up in your Christian journey? What hindrances do you experience when you seek to live a God glorifying life?  In Galatians 1:6-10 we touch on three dangers we can encounter as believers... join us as we have a look at such things and, more importantly, the grace in Christ that enables us to overcome them. to watch the whole service, just click on the link: https://www.y...

Today we start a series in Galatians. A letter where Paul desires these churches, to experience the fullness of Christ's freedom... and not be bound once again through religious activity.  In other words, to experience 'Living Free' - free to walk in Christ's Newness, free to walk in Christ's Authority, and free to walk in Christ's Deliverance. Join us over the next 6 weeks as we study this l...

This week we look at the story of Abram & Lot (Genesis 13-14) and glean from their actions principles that can apply to our 21 Century context. How prioritizing the wrong things, positioning ourselves in the wrong way can result in us being swept up or caught in... less than favorable circumstances. Praise God that, in our failures, He steps in to rescue us from the silly choices we make. To w...

Martin Fong joins us this morning to share with us a Psalm of Asaph (Psalm 73). Held within this passage of scripture are some of the questions, thoughts, or even grievances we may have with what God is doing in the world today. Join us as Martin shares Asaph's heart and in turn the lessons that can influence us in our journey with the Lord too. To watch the whole service click on the link: https:...

After the New Years Encouragement from Psalm 144 last week; this week is an Exhortation for us, as His people, to be revived by the Lord. Habakkuk 'debates' God as he questions His, seemingly, inactivity and silence in relation to His people... it is in God's answers that Habakkuk comes to realize his own failures but also cry out to God for Him to move in the prophets life. To watch the whole ser...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! WOW... the new year has come upon us, and with the world still in a state of imbalance & uncertainty, the best thing we can do is have our eyes focused on our great, good, gracious God. With all the, seemingly, empty promises of politicians; with our limited ability & lack of resources, we can still have hope and live victoriously as God's children because our hope is in J...

With today marking the last Sunday of 2020, it's a great opportunity for us to - not just reflect - but look forward to the coming new year! Looking at Philippians 3 we look at the journey we take toward the '...prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus...' (v.14); that it is a journey WITH Jesus, a journey WITH difficulty, and a journey WITH hope. Prayerfully you'll be blessed, encouraged,...

A very Merry & Blessed Christmas to you and your family!! As the world stops (sort of) and celebrates the commercial success of 'Christmas' we, as God's people, are blessed with the privilege to be reminded of and reacquainted with Christmas. More importantly, point us to the person that Christmas actually celebrates. Prayerfully we will take the time to reacquaint ourselves with Jesus, reacqu...

Our Brother Jonathan shares from John's gospel focusing on the 'I Am' statements made by Jesus. Amazing claims Jesus make but entirely within His right to make such claims. Join us as we look into the word together and come to know Jesus how He reveals Himself.

We can often forget the greatness of our God, the beauty of our Lord, and the presence of His comforting Spirit -- not intentionally for it can just be 'life' and the busyness it creates.  Thus, at the beginning of the Christmas season, I wanted us to get back to the basics of that invitation and the steps the Lord has taken to extend that invitation to US by looking at WHO God is and get rea...

There are numerous questions Jesus asks people throughout the gospels, today we look at two foundational, if not basic, questions for all the followers of Jesus to answer. Looking at the questions Jesus asked of His disciples in Matthew 16:13-15 prompts, not only the disciples, but US to answer and see how we answer influences what/who we believe and what/how we live in today's 'modern world'. If...

In light of the last days it is very easy to become 'lax' in our Christian walk; 'doubtful' of the Lord's return; or distracted from fulfilling our call. One of the means by which such attitudes can be combated in our lives is the gift of 'Understanding God's Plan' - we have been given great insights, by His Spirit through His word. Therefore, lets take some time to examine the scriptures as share...

Today's message is a message of preparedness.  A message that calls is ‘…redeem the time, because the days are evil…’  because regardless of what perspective you adhere too: A-millennial, Post-millennial, or the 0Pre-millennial perspective, the common factor each view has; is that of the Lord Jesus’ Return. His return in authority, in judgement, & in sovereignty that IS imminent -- a...

We revisit 1 Thessalonians to look at the encouragement Paul gives to this young church as they look at loss... specifically the loss that is death. The only reason death can be viewed as 'sleep' is because we know a Saviour who has conquered death, overcome the grave, and reigns in authority over all. Prayerfully you might find encouragement in loss too because your hope is not in a 'happening' b...

Brother Jono Hui closes the series in 1 Thessalonians by bring us a word from the 'Final Instructions' of chapter 5. This word centers on the encouragement of knowing,  submitting, and obeying Gods Will as revealed in the scriptures... take some time to listen to today's Word and be encouraged!! to watch the whole service click on the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24NVieQ8HqE&t=28...

We’ve skipped 1 Thess 4:13-5:5 because it is a passage that will be looked at for its eschatological meaning in the next series. Thus, this week, we are going to look at the final chapter of this letter and draw encouragement from the word, as we heed the Practical Instruction of the Lord, in light of His imminent return (from 4:13-5:15). So join us as we look at this days: B asic I nstruction B e...

Paul continues in his encouragement of the Thessalonian believers by reminding them of the 'How To Instructions...' in order to live a life pleasing to God (1 Thess 4:1).  We are encouraged in today's text, to practically apply the biblical truths that the gospel proclaims, in order to have God's Will manifest by what we do. I pray that the challenge laid out before us will not be cast aside...

The uniqueness of this letter is manifest in the way Paul speaks about these fellow believers. His concern and care goes beyond just 'writing a letter' but is also manifest in his sending of Timothy to find out about their situation. Today in 1 Thessalonians 3, prayerfully, we'll be able to draw some practical lessons from this example and, through the Holy Spirit, exercise the same concern, warni...

Continuing with the encouragement Paul seeks to give this church in Thessalonica, he shares his heart openly and reflects the heart of God in his care for the Lord's church. In so doing we see how the heart of God, in turn, seeks to encourage, comfort, & urge His people in living worthy of God, His kingdom, & His glory!!

This week we begin a new series from 1 Thessalonians. Paul & the team were only able to spend three weeks in this area (see Acts 17:1-9), and yet God was able to take that limited time and, through  His grace, by His power, & in His name, He is able to establish a church to glorify Himself in the midst of severe persecution. And in that persecution, the church is encouraged with their...

The Lord Jesus has always sought to give His people a 'heads up' regarding what He was going to be doing. Whether He is going to suffer persecution at the hands of the Pharisees (see Mt 16:21); warn of the opposition one will face as His follower (see Mk 13:13); or of the promise of His provision in the future (See Acts 1:4-5)... we are privileged enough to be given an insight into the thoughts th...

Happy Father's Day!! Today is an encouragement to Dad's as we celebrate Father's Day... that from the example of Zechariah and his journey in becoming a dad (Luke 1); we can draw three very important lessons: [1] A Positive Portrayal - what we CAN be... [2] A Honest Picture - what we ARE... and [3] A Blessed Privilege - what we GET to do... Prayerfully there'll be something that will greatly encou...
