Grace Family Church Podcast

Family & Relationships. How can we walk wisely toward the destination of Godly families & relationships? We are all living under the influence of our families and relationships. We need to pursue Godly character. Humbly give & receive what is needed. God fully understands the high highs and the low lows of our families & relationships. visit us at mygracefaily.church

Do we love God or fear God? If you truly fear the LORD, you run to him, not away from him. In a right relationship with a parent a child responds out of love, not out of fear. What we love, what we hate, and what we fear will tell the story of our relationship with Wisdom. Your relationship with wisdom will determine the destination of your life. visit us at: https://mygracefamily.church/

Wisdom is the greatest resource we could ever accumulate. Having wisdom and having a high IQ are two very different things. To obtain wisdom you must be humble. To obtain wisdom you must be humble. You and I are not the exception to God’s word. The closer you get to Jesus the wiser you will be. visit us at: https://mygracefamily.church/

Be able to articulate what you believe and why you believe it. Follow Jesus publicly and privately. To follow Jesus is to share in his suffering. God uses suffering to bring righteousness to the unrighteous. True understanding of suffering with Jesus shifts us from “I have to” to “I get to." Be obedient even when it isn’t noticed, celebrated, or appreciated. When you are suffering, take joy i...

What matters to us is not personal preference but participation in the mission. Seek to understand and offer whatever help you can. Siblings don’t always agree but they always have each other’s back. Don’t be harsh with one another. Blessing is sweeter than payback. Division within a family is never beneficial. visit us at: https://mygracefamily.church/

You said “I do”, now what? Wives are told to willingly choose to lovingly accept their husband’s leadership within their marriage so as to point him to Christ. Husbands are told to willingly choose to honor and lovingly sacrifice for their wife so as to point her to Christ. Sacrifice & submission are both calls to selflessly love your spouse! Sacrifice & submission are both calls to be lik...

What does it mean to do something with all your heart? Where we feel anxiety the most are probably the places we trust God the least. Everything that happens in our life is under God’s sovereignty. What happens when God’s sovereignty and our anxieties meet? Anxiety cannot thrive in a life humbly surrendered to Jesus. Do not be overly concerned with this world, be consumed by the Kingdom. Humbly su...

Running from and ignoring anxiety won’t make it go away. Worry and prayer are at odds with one another. Prayer takes control away from your anxiety, away from you, and gives it to God. God's peace is the defense against anxiety in your life. Anxiety is being out of sync with God. I don't control everything, but I know the one who does. visit us at: https://mygracefamily.church/

You cannot reach people with the Gospel if you don’t understand who they are and what struggles they face. We were created to live in community, commanded to put ourselves second, and called to live in awe of our Savior. How do we lead those younger than us to live a live that honors God in the digital world? visit us at: https://mygracefamily.church/

When we are curators of our comfort, our boundaries will be the beginning of our anxieties. Anxiety will cause spiritual growth if we handle it the right way. Your level of trust in God is a result of your proximity to him. I don’t control everything but I know the one who does. What is the source of your anxiety? What is your trust level with God? visit us at: https://mygracefamily.church/

What gives you anxiety? Anxiety shows up when we are unaware of God’s presence. Anxiety creeps in when our view of God is too small. The Son of Man, the stairway between heaven and earth lives in you. Our relationship with Jesus should have a profound impact on our anxieties. Surely, the Lord is in this place and we are aware of him. visit us at: https://mygracefamily.church/

New things can make us excited or they can make us uncomfortable. New is always a little uncomfortable, but growth always brings something new. Jesus wants to do something new with you. Is it worth the discomfort? Jesus gives us new mornings. Jesus gives us new mercies. Jesus gives us New Life. visit us at: https://mygracefamily.church/

Jesus wants to save you for something not from something. God has guaranteed you eternal life. What if our faith was so strong it carried people to Jesus who couldn’t get there themselves? Jesus never intended to use your faith just for you. What do you want Jesus to do through your apprenticeship? visit us at: https://mygracefamily.church/

Everyone is being formed by someone or something into the person they are becoming. Your style of living has produced the life you are now living. A desire that does not impact our calendar, our bank account, or our decision making is simply a daydream. Half-hearted commitments never produce admirable results. visit us at: https://mygracefamily.church/

Apprenticeship always leads to action! Jesus bore witness to WHO God is and WHAT God was doing! We do what Jesus did when we... Show the Gospel with our deeds. Tell the Gospel with our words visit us at: https://mygracefamily.church/

Becoming like Jesus begins with our thoughts. Our first act of worship is to align our thoughts with God’s, not God aligning his thoughts to ours. What we think about God will determine how we interact with God. Becoming like Jesus means surrendering like Jesus. How do you need to focus your trust on God? visit us at: https://mygracefamily.church/

What has staying power in your life? You pursue what is in front of you. You pursue what you choose to continually put at the front of your mind. Your desires reflect the state of your heart. Jesus regularly connected with God on the good and the bad days. visit us at: https://mygracefamily.church/

Following Jesus can feel impossible. Too often we think we only need help, not a total transformation. What we will carry on our own will always be heavier than what we will carry with Jesus. What would it mean for you to find rest for your soul? How do you love God? visit us at: https://mygracefamily.church/

Live a Peculiar Life visit us at: https://mygracefamily.church/

We are not just followers of Jesus in public, we are followers of Jesus in private. Be eager to remove what is bad and consume what is good. We are given strength, a bond, and a role. Our job is to bring hope and bring light to the world around us. visit us at: https://mygracefamily.church/

Following Jesus is not passive. It is always more natural for us to slip into sin than to slip into obedience. Holiness requires every aspect of life. Be different like Jesus was different. Jesus is square one of our faith. visit us at: https://mygracefamily.church/

Every person in the trinity plays a part in our salvation. As those who are chosen, cleansed, and sanctified, our focus is no longer on the world around us. What we are committed to has to be bigger than the discomfort of the moment. visit us at: https://mygracefamily.church/

We all try to cover our shame somehow. Shame is the language of the enemy. Forgiveness is the language of the Father. You will never be able to forgive someone else if you do not fully accept God's forgiveness to you. Forgiveness always repays evil with good. visit us at: https://mygracefamily.church/

Our understanding of forgiveness is broken. How can love, anger, and judgment coexist with one another? Jesus shows us the perfect combination of love, anger, and justice on the cross. True forgiveness is loving, just, and rooted in the sacrificial death of Jesus. How do I need to seek forgiveness? visit us at: https://mygracefamily.church/
