Grace City Church Podcast

So often, it's easy to believe that what we need is just a little more: more security, more success, more resources, or more of what this world has to offer. But the greatest need in every season of life isn't something we can earn or accumulate. It's the presence of Jesus. This week's message reminds us that true fulfillment is found in knowing Him more deeply and inviting Him into our everyday l...

The Promised Land was never just about arriving at a destination. It was always about living in the presence of God. His promise wasn't simply a place of blessing, but a place of relationship. Throughout Scripture, God reveals that His desire is to dwell with His people, leading them into a life marked by His presence. This message explores how God's instructions were never meant to restrict life,...

For the first time, we gathered in our new home to worship together, celebrate what God has done, and look ahead with faith to all that He will continue to do! As we step into this new season, we're grateful for every person who has prayed, served, given, and believed alongside us. This new home is more than a milestone, it's another opportunity to lead people into a life-transforming relationship...

Why do we keep struggling with sin even after following Jesus? In Genesis 3:1–13, we see the moment sin entered the world and the pattern that still influences humanity today. While salvation changes our identity, followers of Jesus still face the daily challenge of resisting the flesh and responding to the conviction of the Holy Spirit. This message explores how repentance, confession, and depend...

In the first message of our new series, How Did We Get Here?, we go back to the beginning to discover God's original design for humanity. Before there was brokenness, confusion, and conflict, there was purpose, identity, and relationship with God. Together, we'll explore why God created us with the freedom to choose, His desire to protect our innocence, and why understanding His original intent he...

There Are Rules explores how God’s commands are not meant to limit life, but to protect and guide it. Looking at Deuteronomy 28:13 and Luke 2:41–51, this message unpacks the connection between obedience, wisdom, and the life God wants for His people. This message is for anyone who has struggled with rules, questioned God’s boundaries, or wants to better understand the purpose behind His commands.

Sometimes the greatest setbacks in life aren’t caused by one bad decision. They come from repeating the same patterns over and over again. In this message, we look at Paul’s warning to the church in Corinth and the mistakes God’s people kept making even after seeing His faithfulness firsthand. The good news? Mistakes don’t have to keep us from God’s best. His grace is bigger than failure. But repe...

Life is not always fair, but God is always faithful! Joseph’s story reminds us that even in betrayal, waiting, disappointment, and uncertainty, God is still working. The moments that felt painful, confusing, and unfair were never wasted in God’s hands. Sometimes we can’t see what God is doing in the middle of the process, but His presence never leaves and His purpose never fails. What others meant...

In this message, we look at a moment where everything feels out of control—and one of Jesus’ disciples reacts fast, trying to take matters into his own hands. Jesus’ response? Put the sword away. It’s a simple idea, but not always easy to live out. When things don’t go how we expect, it’s natural to want to step in and fix it. But this passage reminds us that not every situation needs our reaction...

God’s ways are higher than ours, and His timing is always right, even when we do not understand it. He is loving, holy, and just, calling us to trust Him fully and live set apart for Him! No matter what season we are in, God does not change. He is still God!

In a world where people question who God truly is, Scripture reveals that He is not distant. He is deeply engaged with His people. He Really Is invites us to see God not just through what He does, but through how He relates. In Psalm 34:4–8 and Hebrews 4:14–16, we see a God who is mindful of every detail, present in every need, and faithful in every season. He refreshes what is weary, delivers in...

In this message, we see how God makes Himself known—through the Bible, His Spirit, His Church, creation, and ultimately through Jesus. It’s not about having all the answers, but recognizing that He is already revealing who He is. Watch now and take a next step toward knowing Him more.

In this Easter message, If You Ever Wonder, Pastor Andrew walks through Romans 5:5–11, reminding us of a truth we can come back to again and again: God’s love is not uncertain or distant—it’s already been proven. Through Jesus, we see the full picture of grace, reconciliation, and hope. This message invites us to rest in what God has already done and to find confidence in His love, even when it’s...

The Gospel moves through people. Through conversations, invitations, and relationships, stories become connected, and lives are changed. This message will encourage a fresh perspective on sharing faith, reminding us that someone’s story might still be waiting to begin. Watch now and discover how your story could be the one that helps someone else find theirs.

What are we really hungry for? The truth is, our appetites don’t form on their own. They’re shaped by the people around us, the experiences we carry, and what we consistently consume. Over time, those things begin to define what satisfies us. So what happens when the hunger for God just isn’t there? This message from Jonathan Rivera steps into that question with honesty and hope, reminding us that...

The Gospel is good news, but sometimes the way we live can make it harder for others to see it. In this message, Helping or Hurting, we look at Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians 6:1–13 and what it means to remove the obstacles that can get in the way of our witness. Through both the good and the difficult moments of life, God invites us to live in a way that reflects His grace and keeps our hearts ope...

Your faith is personal, but it was never meant to be private. In this message, "Speak Up," Pastor Andrew explores the power of sharing your Jesus story and how God often uses simple conversations to change lives. When someone talks honestly about what Jesus has done in their life, it can open the door for others to discover hope, purpose, and the Gospel for themselves! The story God is writing in...

Pastor Christina teaches from Matthew 5:13–16 and reminds us that Jesus did not call us to blend in, but to stand out. We are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. When we live with courage, kindness, and conviction, people begin to see who He is through us! When we reflect Jesus clearly, others are drawn to Him. When we hide our faith, the world could miss the hope He offers. This mes...

In this message, Pastor Andrew explores the tension between certainty and faith. We often wait for clear answers before we move—but certainty is a floor we may spend our whole lives trying to touch. Faith is choosing to trust God even when that floor isn’t there. At Some Point You Have to Go invites us to move forward—not because we have every answer, but because God is trustworthy.

Pastor Tyler Johnson confronts “cookie-cutter Christianity” and invites us into something far more real. Jesus never promised a trouble-free life, but He did promise His presence, His prayers, and His peace in the middle of it. When our self-confidence crumbles and what once impressed us about ourselves falls apart, grace steps in—not to shame us, but to restore us.

On Sunday, Pastor Andrew launched part 26 of our Life of a Disciple series with a powerful focus on faith—the kind of faith that truly pleases God and anchors our pursuit of Jesus. He reminded us that faith isn’t just something we believe; it’s the foundation on which we build our lives. Through the Harrell family’s story, we saw a beautiful picture of what steadfast, authentic faith looks like wh...

Every life-changing “yes” is built on a thousand smaller decisions that came before it. In this message on discipline, we’ll explore how faithfully stewarding both our yeses and our nos shapes who we become and positions us for what God wants to do through us. Discipline isn’t about restriction—it’s about direction. When we learn to say no to what distracts us and yes to what aligns us with God’s...

In her message, The Road Less Traveled, Pastor Christina teaches on the countercultural path of intentional faith and disciplined obedience. This message challenges us to step beyond the easy, crowded road and embrace choices that reflect eternal purpose. Her sermon invites you to see your life through the lens of stewardship, sacrifice, and long-term faithfulness, and to courageously walk the pat...

When we number our days, we learn to live them on purpose. In a culture that has cast off restraint, Scripture reminds us that the brevity of life calls for intentional living. In his message, “What Only You Can Do,” Pastor Andrew explores how discipline—practical, physical, spiritual, and emotional—is not about earning God’s love, but about optimizing the life He’s entrusted to us.

Life has a way of becoming noisy, cluttered, and unnecessarily heavy. In his message, You Need Rhythm, Pastor Andrew explores how sustainable rhythms and key spiritual disciplines create a holy levity—bringing clarity, peace, and stability to lives that naturally drift toward complication. When we order our lives around God’s rhythms, we discover that faith isn’t meant to exhaust us, but to steady...
