Change is always hard.  Moving, new jobs, new normal...new often times turns things upside down. But have you considered the reason for the new in your life?  Have you considered what God is doing through the NEW? The transformational work?  Never forget that God says, "I WILL BE WITH YOU." This Sunday, Pastor Tim Poetzl from Stanwood Foursquare Church in Stanwood, Washington joined us t...

In a world filled with doubt, the one constant through all of life's trials and tribulations is the Word of God.  This Sunday we welcomed Dan, a missionary and bible translator, to Grace Church to help us understand WHY the Bible is truth and how everyday more and more facts are revealed that solidify the bible as truth.

The message of the Bible is one of love and redemption through the life of Jesus Christ. This morning welcomed with open arms Pastor Kevin Short who shared a word with us about WHO we are in Christ, WHAT that means, and more importantly HOW we can live.

Everyday we have influence on those around us in our lives.  Influence through the words we speak and the actions in what we do.  This Sunday we welcomed Tammy Dunahoo, General Supervisor and Vice President of US Operations for the Foursquare Church and she brought forward three specific influences that the God calls us to, and how we, as followers of Christ, can walk closer with Him.

One of our favorites came to share with us this morning!  Bradley Hebden, our Youth Director, takes a moment to focus on the power of words.  Often times in our culture today, we don't think much about what we say...or the opposite, we think TOO much about what we say and don't speak our heart.  Bradley dives right in to remind us that words are powerful but yet VERY important.

Dr. Sam Rockwell, the Gateway District Supervisor, joined us this Sunday morning and shared a few thoughts on how we as Christians can help maintain our focus in an ever increasing chaotic world. And that above all, Jesus is not only here for each and every one of us, He is here for the WHOLE PLANET!! What an amazing message!
