Grace Church Wooster

We've all felt it. Someone cuts you off in traffic, your kid doesn't listen the first time, technology doesn't work, someone speaks harshly to or even hurts someone you love...we all have felt and struggle, with varying degrees, with anger. In today's message, our weekend teacher, Dan Owolabi helps us think about what we do when anger gets the best of us. How do we react? How do we improve our han...

There is so much conflict going on in our world today that it's hard to believe that we would be unaware of conflict happening so close to home. What often goes unnoticed is the battle that is ongoing in the spiritual realm. In today's message, Pastor Nick talks about how we can be aware of this battle and can protect ourselves from Satan's relentless attacks and fight back with truth.

Do you ever dread Monday because it means the start of another long work week? Maybe it takes all you've got just to make it to the weekend. But what if work wasn't something you hated, but instead something you see as good and a gift, despite being hard at times. In this message, Pastor Nick teaches us about God's view of work and how our mindset and approach to work can make all the difference.

In a society where the family is less and clear, God has clear expectations on how the family should be run and how the relationships should happen. In this message, Pastor Nick teaches through a passage from Ephesians all about how husbands, wives, children and parents should interact with one another. No matter what your family dynamic looks like, God has a clear expectation on how our relations...

It's no secret that the world is full of broken people. In fact, as followers of Jesus, we understand that we ourselves are broken and in need of a Savior. Yet, there's hope. When the world gets darker, the light shines brighter. What if we lived in such a way where our lives reflected values of telling the truth, controlling our anger, being generous, speaking words that add value, forgiving othe...

Did you know that you were created to last forever? One second after you breath your last, you will spend eternity somewhere. In today's message, Pastor Nick teaches through Ephesians 2 and talks about who we were apart from God, how He intervened and what our lives are like as a result. Not only are you chosen by God, but you are also saved and made completely new in Him!

From places, to things and even ourselves, we love to label things. In a world that is full of people telling us how we should label things, it's important to know how God labels you. You may think you are nothing more than your past of what people say about you. However, in today's message, Pastor Nick talks about who God says that we are and how, with that label, all the others don't matter!

While we all are at different stages in our faith and interaction with Jesus, we have an interest in what's next...what are our next steps? Where do we go from here? How can I be used to be a part of this movement? In today's message, Pastor Mark Artrip talks about the power of movement and how we can use it as a catalyst for our faith.

Life is full of storms. When we are in the midst of them, we can find ourselves questioning if God really cares about what we're going through and if He can do anything about it. In today's message Pastor Steve Kern shares about how storms in our life can cause us to grow in our relationship with Jesus even while not knowing all the answers.

Unity is something we all want in our relationships, but too often we miss out on truly living unified with one another. Did you know that Jesus, on what was the most stressful night of his life, prayed that YOU would experience unity in relationship with others? Don’t miss that! Jesus prayed for you! And if Jesus prayed for unity, then we should pursue it. WATCH today’s message as Matt Carter giv...

In a world that is full of chaos and uncertainty, it is difficult to find any semblance of peace. Even in our own private circles, jobs, relationships, children, health and so many other things can make it so that peace seams impossible. In today's message, Dan Owolabi teaches on peace and how it is something that is very much achievable and sustainable. We learn about how we can choose peace and...

Happy Father's Day! While all of us have different relationships with our father's, the truth is that there is always something we can do to show appreciation and honor either ours, or another father in our lives. In this message, Pastor Billy speaks on some very practical ways we can show appreciation and the value in doing so.

Kindness and generosity go hand-in-hand because generosity is the fruit of kindness. When I encounter the people in my life, do they see kindness through my generosity? Maybe today is a perfect opportunity to evaluate the areas where we extend and withhold our generosity. WATCH this message as Pastor David walks us through how we can be generous with our attention, our time, our faith, and our pos...

We all know just how powerful words can be. We have been encouraged by them but also torn down. Words have power. In this message, Pastor Billy talks about the power or words, the importance of speaking life to people and teaches us ways that we can benefit those around us through our words!

In a world where it is increasingly more common to be blunt and unkind, we are called to show kindness to those around us so much so that people will know us by how we treat people and see Jesus within us!

In this message, Pastor Nick talks about the greatest mission of all time and isn't what you may think of. At the very end of Matthew, Jesus sends His disciples out into the world to preach the good news of Jesus, make disciples and baptize them. In the same way, we have been called to do the same! We learn about how we can be a part of the mission and help influence those around us, and around th...

With so many great leaders in our world today, you may find yourself asking who the greatest is. How do you gauge that? By what they say? By how many followers they have? In today's message, Pastor Nick teaches on Jesus' posture, not position, of greatness and how we can look out for other's interests above our own. That is what makes us a great leader!

At the end of Jesus' famous Sermon on the Mount includes a section of Scripture where He encourages those around Him to put into practice what they just heard. In today's message, Pastor Billy talks about how we can have a firm foundations in Christ and how, regardless of the storms that will certainly come, we will remain standing in Him!

People all around are on the never ending pursuit of happiness and are told that our priority in life should be to do whatever brings us happiness. We all know just how empty that is.

Happy Easter! Here at Grace, we are thrilled to celebrate the God who predicted His own death and resurrection and then pulled it off! Because of Him, we have life!

(greatest of all time) by talking about the resurrection and how it's the greatest win of all time and be the same for you!

It should come as no surprise that Christians are called to stand out in a world that is so dark and far from God. However, it's heartbreaking to know that so many of us aren't setting a good example for people to follow. In order to effectively show people the hope that we have in Jesus, our walk and talk need to be synced up. In this message, Pastor Nick talks about how we can be the salt of the...

When we talk about how we engage with technology, it's easy to think to one extreme that we're better off just being done with technology as a whole. We have learned, throughout this series, that that's not necessarily the case. With the advancement of technology, there is a great opportunity to spread the gospel and bring people closer to Jesus than ever before! In this message, Pastor Nick talks...

No matter how much we think we have things under control, our use of technology can easily bring worry and stress into our lives. We feel like we need to check every ding and click on every notification and that can lead to a constant feeling of worry with how we are perceived and what's happening all around us. In this message, Pastor Nick addresses worry and how it may be beneficial to take a st...
