Grace Life Church of Naples

Recorded: January 11th, 2026 Dr. Paul Bazalgette Today, we examine the vast majority of Jesus’ admonitions, which are aimed at religious people who believe they are on their way to heaven but who are, in fact, horribly deceived. We also look at the only remedy for these churchgoers whose appearance of godliness is a total sham.

Recorded: January 4th, 2026 Dr. Paul Bazalgette James 3:2 says that if anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man. Today, we examine what God says about the proper use of our tongues, so that in the future we may better aim for spiritual maturity.

Recorded: December 28th, 2025 Dr. Paul Bazalgette In today’s podcast, we examine the second commandment: to love people. We observe how this commandment naturally flows out of obedience to the first commandment—to love God. Consequently, loving others is the evidence that one is truly obeying the first commandment. We also explore what God means when He calls us to demonstrate His love to others.

Recorded: December 24th, 2025 Dr. Paul Bazalgette Today we are looking at Matthew 12:18–21, which gives us a wonderful description of Jesus. As numerous texts tell us to be imitators of Christ, we will briefly examine these characteristics and demonstrate how these attributes can—and should—be adopted into each believer’s life.

Recorded: December 21st, 2025 Dr. Paul Bazalgette In the decade before followers of Christ were called “Christians,” they were known as “the Way.” Today, we look at what the Bible says to show that Christianity is not a club to join, but rather a “way”—a new way of life.

Recorded: December 14th, 2025 Dr. Paul Bazalgette Today we are responding to individuals who are creeping into the visible church claiming to follow Jesus while rejecting the teachings of the Apostle Paul. By examining the internal evidence of Scripture, we will appeal to forty-one different passages to demonstrate that the Apostle Paul’s preaching and teaching are, indeed, the inspired Word of Go...

Recorded: December 7th, 2025 Dr. Paul Bazalgette Today we are examining two things related to temptation. First, we will consider whether the temptation of Jesus was a real temptation—could He have sinned? Second, we will examine the two major instructions Jesus gives on how to keep the door shut to temptation.

Recorded: November 30th, 2025 Dr. Paul Bazalgette Today we are looking at a text that lays bare the anatomy of temptation, explaining exactly how Jesus Christ, in His humanity, was able to overcome temptation—and how we can as well.

Recorded: November 23rd, 2025 Dr. Paul Bazalgette Today we are looking at the biblically prescribed characteristics that naturally produce thankfulness in a believer—thankfulness that both blesses the believer’s life and glorifies God.

Recorded: November 16th, 2025 Dr. Paul Bazalgette In this sermon, we examine the critical areas of weakness displayed by Peter that foreshadowed his eventual denial of Jesus. We also look at the amazing grace of Christ that not only restored him but is also available to us.

Recorded: November 9th, 2025 Dr. Paul Bazalgette In this sermon, we explore the necessity for believers to exercise divine patience in order to do the will of God. We also consider how we are to cooperate with the Holy Spirit in developing this level of patience, and how God is at work both in us and through us as we practice it.

Recorded: November 2nd, 2025 Dr. Paul Bazalgette Some time ago, we looked at the arguments for a pre-tribulation Rapture. You can find that sermon on our website (gracelifechurchofnaples.org) or on our YouTube channel under the title “The Pre-Tribulation Rapture of the Church.” Today, we are looking at the other side of the argument. While presenting the post-tribulation view, we will also examine...

Recorded: October 26th, 2025 Dr. Paul Bazalgette Last week, our message was titled ‘Where Christ Rules, Peace Reigns.’ Today, we are continuing with the topic of how to experience God’s peace, regardless of the crisis you are in.

Recorded: October 19th, 2025 Dr. Paul Bazalgette In this sermon, we are examining the simple, personal adjustments we must make in order to enjoy the marvelous gift of God’s supernatural peace—a peace that flourishes regardless of the circumstances we find ourselves in.

Recorded: October 12th, 2025 Dr. Paul Bazalgette Today, we are looking at why God’s love for us is very different from our love for other people, and why believers should demonstrate God’s love toward others so that He may be glorified.

Recorded: October 5th, 2025 Dr. Paul Bazalgette In Psalm 16, David reveals that he is in the midst of a crisis, yet he openly proclaims that he is not only content with what God is doing in his life, but even rejoicing in the security he finds in the midst of it all. He then describes the characteristics of a life that honors God by remaining visibly sustained in circumstances where others might f...

Recorded: September 28th, 2025 Dr. Paul Bazalgette Today, as our title suggests, we are looking at how to become a person who glorifies God by exhibiting the divine attribute of returning good for evil and showing grace in the face of hostility.

Recorded: September 21st, 2025 Dr. Paul Bazalgette Today we are looking at the apostle Paul’s struggle with sin. We show that this very struggle, shared by all believers, is the best evidence of a genuine conversion. We also consider how Paul teaches us to look beyond our many failures to the amazing grace and forgiveness of God, and to daily experience His grace and peace.

Recorded: September 14th, 2025 Dr. Paul Bazalgette In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s murder, believers should be emboldened to rise up and take a stand for Christ, just as he did. This week, we will examine why false Christians fail to take a stand for Christ, while genuine converts do. True believers stand because they are both created and commanded to do so.

Recorded: September 7th, 2025 Dr. Paul Bazalgette The church at Corinth was one of the most dysfunctional churches imaginable. In First and Second Corinthians, Paul addresses their many problems, and after 29 chapters of counseling them with God’s Word, he concludes in the final verse of the second letter. In this one closing statement, he tells them—and us—everything we will ever need.

Recorded: August 31st, 2025 Dr. Paul Bazalgette Today we look into the life of Abraham and see that, in his pursuit of God’s call, he experienced both moments of great personal failure and moments of great faith and courage. From his life, we learn how he continued to pursue God’s will and how to respond when life seems hopeless.

Recorded: August 27th, 2025 Dr. Paul Bazalgette Today we are looking at a man named Zacchaeus, who appeared to have it all, yet was a lonely, rejected, and deeply hated human being. We will discover how his life was completely changed, all because one evening he welcomed God as his guest.

Recorded: August 17th, 2025 Dr. Paul Bazalgette Many believers who sincerely desire to be more like Christ find it as difficult an endeavor as trying to reach the stars while running on a treadwheel. Most Christians hope to see transformation by laboring harder to obey God’s rules; however, true transformation occurs not through trying harder but through living closer . As we keep our eyes and min...

Recorded: August 10th, 2025 Dr. Paul Bazalgette In this sermon, we will look at why so many pulpits are abandoning the Gospel and turning to another message. We will also examine the reasons the apostle Paul said that both he and we should never be ashamed of the true Gospel, no matter how offensive it may be to those who reject it.

Recorded: August 3rd, 2025 Dr. Paul Bazalgette In this sermon we’re looking at 1 Timothy 1:18–19, which warns that failing to hold onto a good conscience can ‘shipwreck our faith.’ This doesn’t mean losing salvation, but ignoring our conscience can lead to a life marked by destruction and regret. So what exactly is a conscience? How does it work? And what does God’s Word have to say about it?
