Pastor Jack Gilbert, our NextGen Ministry Pastor, takes the stage and shares with us some of the incredible things our NextGen students experienced this summer.

In this final week, Pastor Tim reminds us of the value and importance of sharing the good news prior to taking a few questions from the congregation.

Of the core elements of our faith, prayer and worship are towards the top of the list. This Sunday Pastor Tim begins by asking, and answering, general questions about these two elements and then takes a few questions from the congregation.

Spirit gifts and fruit are talked about often in today's church. Pastor Tim takes some time to explore both individually with a few basic questions and then takes questions from the congregation.

In the final session, Pastor Tim examined the "gift of healing" as it relates to the Baptism with the Holy Spirit and the gifts of the Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians 12. Second, we explored seven practices we can employ to pursue healing...and retain it once received.

In session three, Pastor Tim explores through scripture how the Baptism of the Holy Spirit was what started the church in Acts chapter 2 and continues this day.

In this session, Pastor Tim lists out some essential and non-essential things to consider when it comes to our healing.

This Sunday, Pastor Tim begins the question and answer portion of the series by focusing on two foundational questions of our faith and then taking questions from the Grace Church Family.

In this second session, Pastor Tim guides us into understanding how God heals.

In this new series, Pastor Tim brings us back to the basics and reminds us that revisiting these foundational truths is something we should continually do in our walk with Jesus.

In this first session, Pastor Tim lays out the framework for our study and starts with the basics of divine healing.

This Sunday we welcomed Pastor Jeff Fischer to share his heart and vision for a new Foursquare church plant here in Springfield, MO called "Unite Church."

In Numbers chapter 12, we read that Aaron and Miriam, faithful followers and leaders amongst Israel, criticized Moses because of his marriage to a "Cushite" woman. And as a result they were "called out." This Sunday, Pastor Tim reminds us that spiritual leaders are not voted on or randomly placed. They are selected and placed by the Lord and it is our responsibility to honor th...

What if instead of "complaining" to each other, we instead "complained" to the Lord? How different would your life look and the relationships you have? As we continue in Numbers chapter 11, we focus on the middle section where Moses, in his exasperation, speaks to the Lord asking question after question about the current situation Israel is in. And through his complaints, the L...

Complaining isn't just something that people are good at now. It's been around from the beginning and it has become so common that we do it out of habit! We forget where we have truly had it worse and convince ourselves that it was better in the past! This Sunday we learn that the nation of Israel fits into that mold as well. They left Egypt, redeemed from their oppressors, and then find...

The book of Mark details the account of Jesus and as we read through it we become more aware of the Kingdom Reality that He lived to teach us, suffered to spare us, and died and was resurrected to save us.

As we conclude our series in the book of Mark, we are reminded that Jesus commands us to "Go," and to "Preach." This is the Good News that we get to share with the world!

In Mark 15, we read about the trial and crucifixion of Jesus Christ, and that instead of us receiving the sentence of "death," He instead takes our place so that we may have eternal life with the Father. Because we are ALL Barabbas.

In Mark chapter 14 we learn that Jesus was abandoned, betrayed, and denied. And through it all, the suffering he suffering he endured, we will never be abandoned, betrayed, or denied by him.

There's three important points from Mark chapter 13. Jesus is going to return, we are all commanded to "be ready," and whatever you doing will be meaningless when he returns. So, share with those you know, or don't know, and help them on the "life raft."

In Mark chapter 12 we are reminded by the poor widow of what it means to give what we have -- sacrificially. And this is a stark reminder that things that are celebrated in the world, are unimportant in the Kingdom of God and that as followers of Christ, we must be champions of the unseen.

Jesus enters Jerusalem and very quickly begins to upset the Scribes, Pharisees, and teachers of religious law -- beginning with flipping tables at the temple. This Sunday, Pastor Tim reminds us that for every obstacle that the Pharisees set in place in the Bible, Jesus overcame it. And that Jesus will reveal obstacles in our lives that we have set in place...and through Him, we can over come them.

To embrace Kingdom greatness is not really what we think it is. As a matter of fact, it's the opposite of what the world tells us. This Sunday, Pastor Tim discusses the interaction between James, John and Jesus from Mark chapter 10 and how the disciples declare that they are ready for the "bitter cup of suffering." But, they truly didn't know the real meaning of it.

In Mark, chapter 9, we see Jesus interact with a man who proclaims his lack of faith - as many of us have encountered in our own lives! But, all of us can find encouragement in this text that our doubts don't disqualify us from God's grace.

This Sunday, Pastor Jack reminds us that not only is Jesus our Provider, he is also our Provision.
