Grace Fellowship Sermons

Since God is the creator and sustainer of all things, every life is intrinsically dependent on him. However, disciples of Christ embrace that truth and find that giving up everything to trust in God alone is true satisfaction. In this message, we see how Paul's message in the letter to the Ephesians helps us to embrace that truth and enjoy that satisfaction. Link to translation Pastor Zach is usin...

Prayer is one of the clearest indicators of spiritual health because it reveals whether we are depending upon God or ourselves. This week, we will examine how a disciple of Christ develops a prayerful lifestyle that expresses a consistent pursuit of Him and humble dependence on His provision.

One mark of a true disciple of Jesus Christ is that he or she “holds to” or “abides” in His word. This is more than merely being a student of the Bible. The Pharisees were excellent students of the Bible but they completely missed the target. Today, we will see what it looks like for a disciple of Jesus to hold to or abide in His word.

Everyone aims at something, and our lives naturally move toward whatever captures our hearts. A life not aimed at the right target can be busy and even “successful”, yet still miss what really matters most. Today, we will uncover the target Jesus sets before His followers and why understanding that target changes everything about how we live and experience life.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is not merely the foundation of our hope, it is the power that fuels our lives as disciples. Because Jesus is alive, we are not left to follow Him in our own strength; rather, we are empowered to live as His people, trusting and relying upon the Father as Christ Himself did, displaying the unmistakable marks of a changed life.

We value asking questions to better understand how to live life in a God-centered, Christ-exalting way. We believe that church should be the best place in which people can get solid answers to life’s questions from God’s Word. 1. (1:38) What should I do when my immediate family rejects my faith? I live with them, and the way they live makes it hard to enjoy being in the home. 2. (21:15) How do I s...

Most Christians know they should pray, yet many struggle with what to say, or even why they should pray at all if God already knows their needs. In Luke 11:5–13, Jesus reminds His disciples that prayer is not about perfect words or polished performance, but trusting a good Father who gladly welcomes His children to come to Him again and again. (Luke 11:1-13)

Prayer is one of the most familiar practices in the Christian life, yet often one of the most misunderstood. In Luke 11:1-13, Jesus teaches His disciples that prayer is not merely about saying the right words, but about an outlook shaped by His Glory, Kingdom, and grace for daily life. (Luke 11:1-13)

Today, we watch Jesus confront and reframe a man shaped by a religious mindset—one that seeks limits to preserve comfort and maintain control. If we desire true freedom and an authentic walk with Christ, we must pursue the good of others—even when it becomes personally costly.

Humans have an innate desire to improve their lives. Self-help gurus and Prosperity Preachers will give you simple rules for your best life now. In today’s passage, Jesus encounters a man who has spent his career studying and compiling simple rules that will ensure “eternal” life.

History’s greatest figures - prophets, kings, and God-seekers - all lived and died longing to see the redemption we now see in Christ. Jesus reveals that what they wanted was not just delayed by time alone but directed by God to humble hearts who were given eyes to see. (Luke 10:21-24)

We seem to understand that we should plan and act with a particular end in mind. If we have an idea of where we are going, we know it makes sense to plan and act in such a way that best prepares us to be most satisfied upon arriving. In this message, Pastor Zach encourages us to look where we are all heading in view of where we have all come from and how the Resurrection of Jesus Christ impacts ou...

We live in a culture that treats truth as a matter of perspective. But when it comes to the truth Jesus taught, rejection is never casual, it is spiritually consequential and eternally weighty. Today, we'll see the cost of rejecting Christ and how trusting Him reshapes our joy, identity, and what ultimately matters. (Luke 10:13-20)

Our community in Forsyth County is changing—new neighborhoods, new families, and people from many backgrounds. It’s as if God is bringing the nations to our door! As Jesus taught, the harvest is ready, and our mission to make disciples continues.

Becoming a Christian is incredibly easy considering Jesus did all the work. However, following Jesus is quite challenging and difficult. He demands of His followers everything in their pursuit of Him; but, at the same time He offers them everything - the Kingdom of God. True followers of Jesus seek to set their face like flint, as Jesus did, in their pursuit of representing Him well in their lives...

How should we respond when the enemies of God reject Him or speak against His name? As Jesus and His disciples travel from Galilee toward Jerusalem, He prepares them for life and ministry after His departure. In today’s passage, the disciples learn a crucial truth: God does not call His people to defend Him with force, but to represent Him faithfully before those who oppose Him, praying that they...

Greatness is a word our culture celebrates and relentlessly pursues, but what does Jesus say makes someone truly great? In this passage, as the disciples begin to measure themselves by performance, status and rank, Jesus redirects their ambition toward a radically different kingdom perspective. Here we discover that in God’s kingdom, the path to standing tall always begins on bended knee.

The teaching of Jesus baffles the world because it cannot imagine any allegiance greater than self- preservation. The Kingdom of God reorders our thinking and priorities around the surpassing value of Christ, producing a life that challenges the world’s assumptions about success, security, and self-fulfillment because all of life is bound up in following Him. (Luke 9:23-27, 4:18-19, 9:1-2, 10:1-12...

Today Jesus confronts His disciples with a defining truth: what He does always flows from who He is. This is critical, because when His identity is misunderstood, His mission is distorted. And when His mission is distorted, disciple-making collapses. In the end, if we get Jesus wrong, we get life itself wrong. (Luke 9:18-21, 2 Sam 7:12–13; Isa 11:4; Deut 21:23; Matt 16:13; Luke 4:18–19)

We value asking questions to better understand how to live life in a God-centered, Christ-exalting way. We believe that church should be the best place in which people can get solid answers to life’s questions from God’s Word. 1. (01:15) Many people talk about Adam being in glory, but does the Bible indicate he was in a state of grace? While he was covered with the skins of a sacrifice, the New te...

Faith is often formed in uncomfortable spaces where responsibility feels heavy and resources feel insufficient. Why is this true? Because Jesus does not avoid tension—He creates it. In our text, Jesus deliberately leverages the moment of need to shape the citizens of His Kingdom, teaching His disciples to trustfully distribute what only He can supply.

Herod Antipas appears between the mission of the Twelve (9:1,10) as a warning against spiritual exposure to Christ without saving trust in Christ. Herod had been informed about Jesus, unsettled by Jesus, and yet remained curious to know more. Herod shows what the twelve (and us) will face on the mission to make disciples — that knowledge, proximity, and interest about Christ do not save apart from...

Luke 4:43 clarifies that Jesus was sent for the purpose of proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. Today we will see that the privilege of fulfilling this purpose was always something he intended to share.

Every follower of Christ will meet moments that feel impossible. A life-changing diagnosis. A crisis in the home. A financial collapse. A deep disappointment. These are the moments that test our theology, stretch our emotions, and expose where our trust truly rests. Yet in Scripture and in our lives, these are the very places where Jesus does His deepest work.

Life has a way of pressing us into corners we never expected -- moments that feel desperate, powerless to change circumstances. Today, we will see Jesus meet two people in crisis and turns their desperation into a divine appointment that reveal His nearness, His compassion, and His unmatched power. If you feel far from Christ today, we urge you to trust Him anew today.
