Grace Family Church Podcast

Pastor Andrew continues this series asking what are you certain of? Certainty breeds hope, and hope produces action. If you are feeling confident… let your hope drive you to action.

Pastors Cory kicks off our serious on hope. Those of us who know Jesus should be the most hopeful people. If we are not people of hope, we are the blind leading the blind astray. Our hope has a name, and that name is Jesus.

Art shares a testimony as well as other members of GFC. Pastor Cory gives the message about remembering God's faithfulness. In your struggle is where God will show you his strength. Your inheritance will dictate your perspective.

Pastor Cory continues our series leading up to Christmas. He encourages us to trust that God will keep his promises. You cannot worship the King if you do not fully trust him. What fear/insecurity/control do I need to lay at the feet of Jesus?

Pastor Andrew continues our series leading up to Christmas. In the Old Testament the anticipation of the King brought hope! Is he our King, have we submitted to King Jesus and do our lives reflect that he is our King?

Cory kicks off the new series leading up to Christmas with a message about the curse of our desires. The tension we feel in life is the disrupted harmony created in the garden. The desire to be something you are not will always leave you less fulfilled. We were created to live under God's authority and in community. Will you allow Jesus to restore the harmony of your relationship with God?

Pastor Cory wraps up this serous with the question "What happens when we have no King?". Morality becomes subjective, the well-being of self is elevated over the well-being of others and solutions to problems become problems themselves. We cannot be a kingdom without a King.

Pastor Cory continues this challenging series with some more hard questions. Do we create version of God rises and falls on your circumstances? We often trade the infinite God for our finite god because he is easier to control. Are you worshiping your version of God or the true, infinite, and almighty God?

What can we learn from the world’s strongest man? Many of us know the story of Samson, but what can we learn from a man who seemed to have it all and lost everything? Pastor Andrew shares with us in week 6 of Judges.

Gideon is one of the most famous characters in the Old Testament for his unique military strategy. But sometimes success can go to our heads. This week we learn from the mistakes of one very successful Judge.

Deborah was the only female judge. At a time when men ruled the world God chose her to lead the nation of Israel. In week 4 of judges we see what God can do when we find our identity in the purpose rather than the role God has given us.

What happens when you live in a world that isn't tailored to your needs? What if you feel like you don't look the part God is asking you to play? This week we learn from the life of Ehud and what God can do when we allow him to work through our weaknesses.

Phil Bryant from Assist is with us today to lead us in Week 2 of Judges. What is at stake if we don't hand a personal faith down to the next generation? Judges 2 gives us a peek into the future if we don't.

What do we do with Judges? Judges is one of the most difficult books of the Bible to handle. It brings up questions about why God seems so violent and how these stories should impact our lives today. We're diving in to this challenging book with Pastor Andrew in week 1 of Judges.

The foundation of your faith will determine the future of your faith. This week we wrap up our What If series with a conversation from Pastor Cory on the purpose statement of GFC.

How do you handle failure? Not a fun subject to talk about...but James tells us to confess our sins and to depend on our community to pray for us. So why is the church so quick to cancel and to judge? This week we talk about the tough topic of failure and forgiveness.

Sometimes it can be tempting to cut ourselves off from people who don't think, believe, or look the same way we do. But when we do this, we lose the ability to connect with some people who don't know Jesus. What if people knew us more for what we were for rather than what we are against?

Sometimes it's easier to choose tough love over sacrificial love. Yet Jesus chose to love us sacrificially even when we deserved far worse. Are we loving people the way Jesus loves us?

What is deconstruction and what can the church do about it? In the first week of What If?, Pastor Cory starts a conversation on how the church can change its perception in culture.

We've come to the end of our Summer Love series. The final phrase Paul gives us in 1 Corinthians 13 is "Love endures through every circumstance". What we learn about God's love for us through this phrase might change us forever.

Pastor Andrew gives a message about how love never gives up and never loses faith. Love is not blind to the hard truth of reality and love does not throw in the towel. Love chooses not to despair but holds onto the possibility of the future restoration with people.

What does it mean when Paul says love never gives up? No one wants to be a quitter, but is that really what he is talking about? Today we talk about what it means to be a safe space for people and how we can carry the burdens of others.

Usually we associate love with good feelings. But sometimes love can also lead us to some difficult decisions and circumstances. So what do we do when someone we love is making poor choices or causing others to make poor choices. Paul says we are to celebrate truth and not to tolerate injustice. What should we do when these situations arise?

It’s hard to keep no record of wrongs, yet that is exactly what Paul tells us to do. Adam Nagle from The Factory Ministries shares with us this week.

Ever feel like you are walking on eggshells around someone? Do people feel that way about you? Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 13 love is not irritable…so how do we guard ourselves against dealing with people out of our irritability? Pastor Cory shares with us in week 7 of Summer Love.
