Grace River Church

This Sunday we kick off our new series,  Foundations , where we explore the core truths that shape our faith. We're diving straight into the deep end—unpacking the mystery of the Trinity and discovering what it means to relate to God as our Father. If you've ever struggled to understand how one God can exist in three persons, or what it means to be a beloved child of God, you won't wan...

Discover the path to true happiness and lasting satisfaction through Psalm 1. When we delight in God's Word and abide in Jesus, our lives flourish like trees planted by streams of living water. Choose the way of life that leads to fruitfulness, purpose, and a relationship known by God.

This Sunday at Grace River, we're celebrating more than just a week at camp. We’re stepping into a moment of life change. Come hear powerful stories of students who encountered the truth that Jesus knows everything about them and still loves them completely. The same love that met them at camp is ready to meet you too.

Psalm 32 We love free stuff in America, yet so many of us don’t live in freedom, but instead live with guilt, shame and regret.  King David knew what that was like, but he also discovered a secret to experiencing real freedom, and a joy-filled life.  We’ll unpack that secret together in this message.

When Your Soul Feels Empty Life has a way of draining us physically, emotionally, and spiritually. In Psalms 63 David writes from the wilderness, not asking for rescue, but reaching for something deeper: God Himself. In this message, we’ll discover what to do when our souls feel dry, distant, or disconnected and how Jesus meets us in that emptiness with lasting satisfaction. If you're running...

Life is short, but God is eternal—when we see our days in light of His timelessness, we gain the wisdom to live with urgency and intention. Psalm 90 reminds us that our time is limited, but God's purpose and love give our lives eternal weight and joy beyond our achievements. This message will help you re-center your priorities, align with God’s calling, and pursue a life of lasting impact.

We are continuing our series Summer in the Psalms and this week we’ll talk about 3 ways God is revealing Himself in our lives and how understanding and responding to these can change everything for us and for those we love.

Life doesn’t have to be perfect for God to be present. In Psalm 34, David shows us how to praise, seek, and experience God—not after the breakthrough, but right in the middle of fear, failure, and uncertainty. Join us as we discover how Jesus meets us in the mess with mercy, peace, and purpose.

We all need direction, peace, and security, but we often look everywhere except to the One who offers it best. In Psalm 23, we discover that Jesus isn’t just a comforting presence. He’s the Shepherd who restores our soul, walks us through the valley, and leads us home. When Jesus is your Leader, you don’t just survive life, you’re guided, protected, and fulfilled every step of the way. 

This week Pastor Jacob shares a powerful one-week message called  Carry Your Corner , based on Luke 5:17–26. We’ll explore what it means to be the kind of friend who brings others to Jesus, no matter the obstacles. Whether you’re carrying someone or feeling stuck yourself, this message is for you.

This week we wrap up our series:  Winning the Battle of the Mind, as we discuss the words spoken by others that we’ve come to believe about ourselves and how we can replace lies with truth.  Our true identity (and freedom) is found in the One who made us, not the one who marked us. 

Parenting in today’s world often leaves us feeling overwhelmed, inadequate, and burdened by guilt. But God offers us something far greater—grace that speaks a better word over our lives. In this message,  From Guilt to Grace , we’ll discover how to silence the lies in our minds and embrace God’s truth that brings peace, strength, and rest.

Your thoughts shape your life—and what you believe determines how you live. In this message, we’ll explore how to break free from toxic mindsets, lies, and the trap of comparison by renewing our minds through God’s truth. Discover how lasting transformation begins when you let God change the way you think.

Anxiety and Depression  Anxiety takes your breath away; depression convinces you it’s not worth trying to breathe.   Why do we struggle?    1. We Live in a Constant State of Chaos We were created for rhythm, rest, and relationship with God, but we’re drowning in pressure, perfectionism, and performance.   2.  We Don't Know How to Sit in Silence Most of us don’t process life, we just consume mo...

What if the delays in your life aren’t denials—and what looks final isn’t the end?   In this message from  Unpredictable Savior , we explore a story where Jesus meets desperation with compassion and turns hopeless moments into something new. It’s a reminder that even when we think it’s too late, Jesus is still in the room.

When Jesus called Matthew, a despised tax collector, to follow Him, it shocked everyone—but grace often does. Instead of distancing Himself from sinners, Jesus moved toward them, ate with them, and welcomed them into the Kingdom. This week, we’ll discover how Jesus still sees potential in the mess and invites us to do the same.

In this third week of our series Unpredictable Savior, we’re talking about greatness.  We have debates all the time in our culture about The GOAT, the greatest of all time.  Who is the best of the best.  But Jesus talked about a different way.  He redefined greatness and, in this message, we’ll talk about how you can be great according to Jesus!

In the second week of our series “Unpredictable Savior”, we will talk about the unpredictable people that Jesus values.  You might be surprised at how that can revolutionize your life and the lives of those around you.

The People That Jesus Chooses  Jesus doesn’t pick the best—He picks the willing. Throughout Scripture, we see God using unlikely people to accomplish extraordinary things, proving that our past doesn’t disqualify us; it prepares us. In this message, we’ll explore how Jesus chose His disciples, why He delights in using the unqualified, and how we can step into His calling with confidence.

Are there red flags in your life signaling that God isn’t first? When work, approval, or comfort start taking priority over Him, it’s time for a reset. In this message, we’ll identify the warning signs of misplaced worship and discover how  putting God first  leads to true joy, freedom, and transformation.

Relationships are complicated.  If we really look, we can often see Red Flags warning us of potential danger.  In this message we’ll look at the red flag of control.  You may or may not be in a controlling relationship, but we’ll look at the warning signs that can tip you off to someone else’s control, or even your own.

This Sunday, we continued our series  "Red Flags"  by talking about one of the biggest relationship killers— unresolved conflict . Maybe you've held onto anger, avoided a tough conversation, or left things unsaid—whatever it is, ignoring conflict doesn’t make it go away, it only makes it worse. Join us as we dive into what God says about handling conflict in a way that brings healing...

"For the past 10 years, God has done more through Grace River than we could have ever imagined—lives transformed, hope found, and purpose discovered. But we’re just getting started! Join us as we celebrate His faithfulness, embrace bold faith for the future, and ask the question: What will your YES lead to?"

Our words have incredible power—they can bring life or cause deep wounds. In "When Words Become Weapons," we’ll explore the dangers of unchecked speech and how God calls us to use our words for healing and encouragement. Don’t let careless words sabotage your relationships—learn how to speak with wisdom, grace, and truth!

Are you feeling stuck in religion but longing for a deeper relationship with Jesus? Like Nicodemus, we can know about God yet miss the life-changing power of His grace. In this teaching, we’ll explore how to move beyond routine religion and step into a genuine, transforming faith.
