One of the first interactions Jonathan (the son of Saul and next to rule Israel) and David had reveals to us how Jonathan submitted to the chosen and anointed King of Israel. Christian friendships are just as challenging today as they were then. We have our own struggles and we sought to be cared for like David was. But the Lord calls us to be "Jonathan's" in other people's liv...

To fully embrace relationships in the way they did in Acts chapter 2, we have to allow the Holy Spirit in to each of our relationships.

God's relationship with each of us is often, unintentionally, placed into a category that is based on relational experiences we have with each other. BUT, the simple truth is that our relationship with God is nothing like we experience on earth.

Having left the Garden of Eden, Adam and Even pass down their relational brokenness to their children Cain and Abel -- where even MORE relational sin is introduced into the world.

Pastor Tim continues his look at pride and shame and how they started in the Garden of Eden in Genesis chapter 3 -- and continue today in the very same ways!

The birth of relationships is revealed in Genesis chapters one and two, and as a result of the enemy lying to Adam and Eve, the breaking of relationships takes place in Genesis three. Which leads us to where we are now! As a result of the decisions Adam & Eve took in the garden, we are plagued by shame and pride. This Sunday, Pastor Tim calls us to repent of how shame and pride has placed a ri...

In this first session, Pastor Tim starts in the beginning reminding us of the need for relationships at the creation of humanity and God's desire to be in relationship with us.

This Sunday, Pastor Tim reminds us that our mindset drives our perception of the world around us. And that to help us shape how we see, interact, and engage with the world around us, we need to be in God's Word and spending time with him.

God reminds his people, throughout the Bible, to "remember." This Sunday, Pastor Tim takes time to look back at the amazing things God has done in and through Grace Church, and a look forward to a few exciting things God is doing in 2025.

God loves you. And this is more than the love you have for a favorite meal, or your car, or any person on earth. Pastor Jack shares how God's love for you, and the sacrifice made through Jesus is the perfect example of love -- for ALL of us.

Joy is quite different from happiness. This Sunday, Marissa teaches us how JOY can only be found in the Lord and that we have to intentionally choose Him.

Thom reminds us that peace isn't easily achieved. We have to put in effort to find the peace that God has for each of us.

Pastor Susan May shares with us the HOPE of Jesus and how He is the only way to salvation.

Western culture often isn't really good at being "thankful" or expressing gratitude. This Sunday, Pastor Tim reminds us that expressing gratitude can actually help us walk through difficult times in our lives.

This Sunday we get to hear from the team we sent to Austria and the amazing things God did in and through them.

In this final session of this series, Pastor Tim focuses our attention on the older brother and how his selfishness and desire to earn righteousness in the fathers eyes resulted in him missing out on so much that the father offered BOTH of his sons.

In this session, we learn that the father allows his son to take half of his inheritance, leave, and squander it away. This isn't something we would allow! It just seems reckless and wasteful! And all without a word of warning from But, the father does it willingly, without a lecture or guilt. And as the son returns, he not only runs to him, he throws a huge party to celebrate his return.

In this session, Pastor Tim shares with us three specific insights when looking at the story of the Prodigal Son, specifically with the son, and how despite his confidence of the decisions he made, things had to get worse and worse before transformation took place.

The story of the "Prodigal Son" is all of us. And for many of us, there are still friends or family members in our lives that are lost. They've known the love of Jesus and turned away. This Sunday, Pastor Tim encourages us to renew our faith in Jesus and pray, together throughout the series, for all the prodigals in our lives to return.

What we DO is just as important as what we SAY. And the difficult (but necessary!) challenge for followers of Christ is to walk the fine line of participating in political conversation and remaining true and faithful to God's word.

As followers of Christ, how we respond to political authority and, more importantly, how we show honor and respect towards political offices can either show how we "fit" into the cultural norm, OR can set us apart. Our response speaks volume to our walk with Christ and our love for His people.

It's our responsibility to steward our voice in a way that shows the love, grace, and truth of our faith in Jesus. This isn't accomplished through shouting matches, or endless debates, or fights over opinions. It's done by seeking Kingdom perspective in all things.

In this first session, Pastor Tim reminds us that real change doesn't happen through political power or having the right person in office. It happens through the love of Jesus Christ.

Pastor Tim takes time to revisit our values here at Grace Church and digs a little deeper into HOW we think about community.

Pastor Lisa Fisher, Co-Pastor of Unite Church shares with us the wonder of God's works as he works in and through each of us.
