Today we are starting our Renewal Initiative series where we are focusing on our "Renewed Home for Renewed Hearts" The sermon, drawn from Titus 3:3–8, presents a transformative vision of the Christian life rooted in God's mercy rather than human effort, emphasizing that true renewal begins with divine regeneration and is sustained by the Holy Spirit's work. It calls believers to a holistic faith t...

In Mark 5:1–20, Jesus confronts evil, restores a demon-possessed man, and confronts the fear that shapes human responses to His presence. The passage reveals three distinct reactions: the legion of demons, fearing destruction, begs to be cast into pigs rather than face Christ's judgment; the townspeople, fearing disruption to their comfortable lives, beg Jesus to depart; and the healed man, transf...

The sermon centers on Jesus as Redeemer, drawing from Isaiah's desperate cry for divine rescue from sin, suffering, and spiritual exile, and revealing how Christ fulfills this longing through His incarnation, perfect life, sacrificial death, and resurrection. It emphasizes that redemption is not merely a theological concept but a personal cry for mercy in the midst of brokenness, illustrated throu...

Worship Info for December 21, 2025 Text: Isaiah 9:1-7 Title: Prince of Peace The sermon centers on Jesus as the Prince of Peace, drawing from Isaiah 9:6–7 to reveal that His name embodies a divine, eternal peace—shalom—far exceeding mere absence of conflict and instead signifying wholeness, cosmic integration, and reconciliation with God. It emphasizes that this peace is not achieved through human...

The sermon centers on the title 'Everlasting Father' ascribed to the Messiah in Isaiah 9, revealing Christ as the eternal, transcendent God who enters time as a vulnerable infant to reveal the nature of the Father and restore humanity to divine sonship. Through His incarnation, perfect obedience, and sacrificial death, Jesus, the eternal Son, becomes the Father of eternity—both the originator of t...

The sermon explored how Jesus, as Mighty God, demonstrates His power through weakness rather than worldly strength. From Gideon's victory at Midian with just 300 men, to Jesus' ultimate triumph through the cross, we see a consistent pattern: God's mighty power wins through man's weakness. This has profound implications for our spiritual lives - we don't need to project strength or have it all toge...

This Sunday we are going to study the topic of Christian freedom. We like freedom, don't we? We live in a country that was founded in search of religious freedom. We live in the land of the free and the home of the brave. Oklahoma was settled by people in search of freedom. Modern society values the freedoms of self- expression, self-determination, self-protection, etc. We love the idea of freedom...

The sermon centers on Isaiah 55 as a divine invitation to a soul-satisfying fellowship with God, rooted in His profound compassion and grace. It emphasizes that God's mercy is not earned but freely offered through the atoning work of Jesus, the true and greater David, who has paid the price for sin and invites all—especially the broken and weary—to partake in a feast of forgiveness and joy. The pa...

This sermon presents Isaiah 52:13–53 as a profound prophetic portrait of the Messiah, emphasizing His humility, perfection, suffering, and ultimate victory. It reveals Christ as the suffering servant—despised and rejected, yet sinless and divine—whose vicarious death bore the sins of humanity, fulfilling God's eternal plan. The passage underscores the substitutionary nature of His sacrifice, where...

Title: The Servant of The Lord Speaker: Shane Hatfield Series: The Gospel According To Isaiah Date: November 2, 2025 Bible: Isaiah 42:1-9

Isaiah 42:8-20 | Fee Kennedy No one ever wants to feel abandoned. It is one of the most scary and hopeless experiences we face in life. We can feel abandoned by family, institutions, friends, business partners, and the list goes on. Worst of all, we can even feel abandoned by God. What do we do when the fear of abandonment overwhelms us? In Isaiah 41, God speaks through the prophet to tell the peo...

Isaiah 35:1-10 The sermon, drawn from Isaiah 35, presents a profound vision of divine homecoming—a future where God's people return to Him in joy, marked by a renewed creation, restored bodies and souls, and a repaired, holy path to reconciliation. It emphasizes that this promise, rooted in God's redemptive plan long before Christ's arrival, finds its fulfillment in Jesus, who bears judgment to he...

Last week we started a new sermon series called "The Gospel According to Isaiah." During this series, we are going to examine the gospel through the words of the Old Testament Prophet Isaiah. He offers a sweeping and penetrating view of the gospel that promises to bring greater glory to God through the redemption and renewal of his people, and the restoration of creation.

Worship Info for September 21, 2025 Text: Hebrews 10:19-25 Title: How then do we live? Authentic Worship Text: Hebrews 10:19-25

There are few words that we use more often in the church than the word "gospel." Unfortunately, when we use a word with such frequency its precise meaning can become obscured. If you were asked, "What is the gospel?" how would you respond? At Grace & Peace, one of our core values is to be a gospel-centered ministry. This Sunday, we will explore what the gospel is and what it means to be centered o...

This week we are going to start a three-part sermon series called "How should we then live?" The title comes from Frances Schaeffer's book and video series. He highlights the importance of understanding biblical truth and living consistently with that truth. During this series, we will study Hebrews 10:19-25, focusing on the core values of Grace & Peace, and how we live in light of those values in...

What is your purpose? This is a question we all ask at some point in our lives and—whether we know it or not—each day we live according to our answer. Our purpose defines the course of our lives, informs our major decisions, and provides the framework for our sense of fulfillment. The problem is that the answer to the question of our purpose is more elusive now than ever. Why do we struggle to fin...

As our summer comes to a close, so does our study of the book of Acts. In this week's passage, we will read a travel narrative that describes Paul's travels from Ephesus to Jerusalem, concluding his third missionary journey. This short section is packed with intriguing, and somewhat confusing questions about the Holy Spirit, prophecy, and the providence of God. But in the end, you will see a very...

As we continue our series in the book of Acts this week, we will witness an incredible sequence of events involving both tragedy and God's miraculous power, followed by Paul's farewell address to the Ephesian elders. Our passage opens with a memorable scene: Paul preaching until midnight, and a young man falling asleep and tumbling three stories to his death. Yet even this tragedy becomes a testam...

This Sunday, Shane will be preaching to us from Acts 19 about Paul's time in Ephesus. Join us for worship on Sunday morning, and for a worship night in the main building in the evening!
