GraceHill Church: Weekly Sermons

A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from Matthew 6:1-4 Why do you come to worship on Sundays? Why do you sing? Why do you give? Why do you read? Why do you pray? What do you speak? What motivates your living? What motivates your godliness? The “why” of our Christianity is the foundation for the “what”! What you do, so often reveals only a partial picture. Why you do something matters to God just as much...

A sermon by guest preacher Todd Bolton from 1 Peter 1:3-12 You can have hope in a hopeless world! Although our earthly hopes may die, we have an ever-living hope that can never be taken away from us! This hope is alive because our Savior is alive! 1. Through the resurrected Christ, you have a glorious future 2. Through the resurrected Christ, your trials have a glorious purpose 3. Through the resu...

A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from Isaiah 53:7-9 The cross of Jesus Christ is the greatest paradox in Scripture. Because it is so difficult to grasp, it is often described as a stumbling block to the faith of some and foolishness to others. Yet, for others, who behold the cross with the eyes of faith, our encounter with the crucified Jesus is the turning point and the foundation of our faith. Theme...

A sermon by Pastor Yan Kislitsa from Matthew 5:43-48 Theme: By loving our enemies and by praying for them, we prove that we are the children of our heavenly Father. Four motivations to love our enemies:  1. Because of our Savior's Command (43-44)  2. Because of our Father's Character (45) 3. Because of our Heavenly Reward (46-47) 4. Because of our Glorious Destiny (48)

A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from Matthew 5:33-42 In this section, Jesus turns to another very twisted and warped area of scribal interpretation, addressing two laws, of vows and retaliation. Our speech and our actions. And just like the previous two, this one will cut deep to expose our hearts. On the surface, the issues Jesus raises don't seem to address the folks living in 2021. But Jesus' prin...

A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from Matthew 5:27-32 God created us as sexual beings to enjoy intimate relationships in the covenant of marriage for the glory of God. Sin, however, perverted everything. But our sexuality matters a great deal to God! The 10 commandments stress that importance. And Jesus stresses its importance for us today. As we study this text, my prayer is that we listen intently,...

A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from Matthew 5:21-26 When it comes to the 6th commandment,  it's not enough that we have not physically taken the life of another. God's intention is that we do nothing, or say nothing, or think nothing, or even wish nothing, that in any sense defraud another human created in the image of God. In fact, the intent of the 6th commandment is love! To do otherwise is to co...

A sermon by Pastor Yan Kislitsa from Matthew 5:17-20 Theme: By preaching the Law, Jesus makes it clear: apart from Him, no one has a shot of entering the Kingdom of Heaven. 1. The Fulfillment of the Law: Christ successfully fulfilled the whole Law for us because only He could (17-18) 2. The Failure of the Law: Apart from Christ we have miserably failed at the Law  (19-20) 3. The Function of the La...

A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from Matthew 5:13-16 One of the greatest problems that we have in the Christian church is not realizing who we really are. And because of that, we have neglected to take our Christian responsibilities seriously. This, I believe, is the heart of verses 13-16. The crowds were looking at Jesus. Now Jesus was beginning to look at His disciples. Have you ever ever wondered...

A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from Matthew 5:1-12 The Sermon on the Mount is Jesus’ inaugural address in which He lays out His vision of life in the kingdom of heaven. This sermon is all about Jesus and why we must submit to him! Beginning with the beatitudes, He announces that only the humble and merciful are blessed and approved by God! It is not the courageous, the wise, the temperate, the intel...

A sermon by guest preacher Pastor Tony Arnds from Selected Scriptures

A sermon by Pastor Yan Kislitsa from Matthew 4:12-25 Theme: The goal of following Jesus is to become like Jesus Himself 1. Settle among Sinners (12-16) 2. Speak to Sinners (17) 3. Summon Sinners (18-22) 4. Sympathize with Sinners (23-25)

A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from Matthew 4:1-11 Trials and temptations are part of our lives because of the state of our being and the reality of the presence of sin. Because we’re sinful on the inside and we live in a world marred with sin which lies in the power of the evil one, we are constantly being tested or tempted, depending on the outcome. So this episode in the life of Christ, gives us...

A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from Matthew 3:11-17 1. King Jesus is the Mighty God who Saves and Judges - 3:11-12 2. King Jesus is the Anointed Servant who Suffers and Instructs - 3:13-16 3. King Jesus is the Beloved  Son who Delights the Father - 3:17

A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from Matthew 3:1-10 What is the most glorious reality of Christ taking on flesh? It is this: God has come to dwell with us (Matt 1:21-23)!  Now that the King is born, God sends a man out to preach in the wilderness to prepare his people to welcome the King. Preparation for people meant - repentance!  This morning, we will look at 4 aspects of repentance which John emph...

A sermon by Pastor Mike Trofimenko from Revelation 21:1-7

A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from Matthew 2:1-23 In chapter 2, Matthew brings to the foreground the Kingship of Christ! He is no other than the promised Messiah who would reign on the throne of David, to whom every knee will bow, whether in this life or the next! Matthew calls us to honor Jesus and worship Him as King! In this text, Matthew contrasts two responses towards the birth of Christ. The...

A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from Matthew 1:18-25 The Christmas Story is a simple story, yet it is unlike any other in history. The twists and turns, the confusion and revelation, the human and the divine - all come together in one major event which forever altered our history. It is a story of the Father’s love, of the Son’s submission, and of the Spirit’s creation.  Theme:  Because Jesus is both...

A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from Matthew 1:1-17 The Gospel of Matthew is a turning point in Scripture. From Genesis to Malachi, the Old Testament built up an expectation of something great that was to come. Indeed, Someone great was to be among men who would accomplish the will of God like no one had ever done before. The story of Christ, however, doesn’t begin in Matthew - the promises of Christ...
