That's Grace Podcast

What if part of the reason that you struggle so much with money is because you have believed some common myths about your money? We work for our money arguably harder than anything else in life, and as a result, we value our money a lot. But what if the goal isn’t how much money you get but rather what you do with it? In the last week of this series, Pastor Sean busts 2 big myths that many of us b...

Can you imagine what it would feel like if you didn’t have any debt? The relief! The peace! As we approach Black Friday, many of us will go out and spend way more on presents for the Holidays than we can afford, only to find ourselves pinched and stressed all next year trying to figure out a way to pay it all off. Too many of us are slaves to our debt and instead of us telling our money where to g...

Money is really fun if you have it right? But if you don’t have it, or if you struggle to keep and manage it, it can be an incredible source of stress and anxiety. For most of us though, we don’t do well with our money. With the average American spending 104% of their annual income, our money is often something that holds us back instead of providing freedom. And our money problems don’t just stay...

As we celebrate the 12th Anniversary of Grace Church, we look back to the beginning of our church and share some of the great memories we’ve had along the way. Pastor Sean shares that the goal of our church has never been to get to a certain number or status, but our focus has always been on helping our friends and neighbors find and follow Jesus. In this message, Pastor Sean shares two passages f...

As we wrap up this series, Pastor Sean talks about a lie that many believe that might be the most consequential. The lie is that since we believe in God, we are all set. That just because we believe there is a God and that Jesus was God, doesn’t mean that we are right with God at all. Many claim to know God and even be a Christian, but we learn from the Bible that on Judgement Day, God will say to...

Do you ever feel like you are just not good enough? Most everything in our lives we work hard to earn. If we want good grades, we have to study hard. If we want a promotion, we have to work hard. That’s because nothing in life comes free. We have to work for it. The problem is that we can begin to believe that what we do isn’t enough to be loved by God. As a result, we end up living busy, str...

It’s hard to feel alone, but it’s even harder when you are going through a rough spot in life or when you have a big decision to make. Many times in life we feel like we are left to handle our lives all on our own. We see our issues as only being career issues, or relational issues, or mental issues. And we rarely look at them as potential spiritual issues. In today’s message, Pastor Ken&nbsp...

Do you feel like you are unworthy to be used by God? That because of your past you belong on the island of misfit toys along with the other damaged goods? And no matter how hard you try to see the good in life, you are constantly reminded of the wrong you’ve done or had done to you? If so, you are probably believing the lie that we are talking about today. In the second week of this series, P...

Have you believed in the lie that you can’t change? Maybe you have told yourself that your destined this way because of your past. Or because of your family line, you’ll always deal with certain things. Or maybe you’ve just accepted that you are the way you are and nothing you do can change that. In the first week of this series, Pastor Sean talks about how this lie affects us and motivates us to...

Can you really say that you believe something if that belief doesn’t shape what you do? For example, if you believe everyone should donate blood but you’ve never signed up to donate, can you really say that you believe that? Our actions should be shaped by the things that we believe, but often, our actions are focused on self gratification. In the last week of the series, Pastor Sean shows that on...

The relationship between your thoughts and your heart is the difference between your search bar and the results you get when you hit enter. If you choose to fill your mind with selfishness, lust, greed, and envy then it won’t be long until those things penetrate your heart. Once you’ve developed these patterns in your heart, your actions will follow. But if you want a different track in life, if y...

How many times have you tried to turn over a new leaf only to find yourself doing the same old things? Have you pleaded with God that you would never ever do that things again if only He would forgive you and you wouldn’t get caught? Do you feel like your life needs a restart? In this series Head Heart Hands, we see that our actions are driven by how we feel and how we feel is driven by...

Do you feel like your life is out of control? Like you can barely control yourself let alone your circumstances. While we all want to say that we are patient, kind, selfless people, our lack of self control is often what is displayed. It’s displayed in our diets, in our spending, and in our decisions that we make. God knew that self control would be an area where we would struggle. It’s a war betw...

Over the course of this past week, our headlines have all been centered around the issues of hatred and racism that we see happening in our country. As tensions rise on both sides of this issue, it leaves many of us wondering, “how can I personally help make a change?” What can be done to fix this brokenness and sin? And what role do I need to play in fixing this problem? In this week’s messa...

Our culture wants everything now. Wanna buy something online? Use Amazon Prime and get it in 2 days. Want to watch a specific show? Just stream it? Don’t like your phone? I’m sure your provider has a deal where you can get the newest and best one. As we continue our series, Fruitology, Pastor Taylor talks about the main 2 reasons why we don’t have patience and then shows us from the Bible why we c...

We use the word love very interchangeably. We love our family. We love our kids. We love our car. We love our sports teams. We love food. But we don’t love all those things the same way. We think we’ve found real love, but then that feeling goes away. As Pastor Ken start the first week of this series, we see that God wants our lives to produce true love. Pastor Ken talks about the 4 types of...

For those who follow Jesus, the Bible is the source that we base our lives and our relationship with God on. It’s the story that reveals God’s interactions with mankind from the very beginning of time. It affects what we worship, how we act, and what we believe. But how do we know that the Bible is actually true? How do we know that it wasn’t changed over time as it was translated? What if th...

Can I be a Christian and believe in Evolution? Evolution is widely taught and accepted in most secular education, but what about the Biblical account of Creation? If I’m a Christian but also believe in science, what am I supposed to do with the Creation story? In this second week of our series FAQ, Pastor Sean talks about the theories of Evolution and Creation. Because both views are scientificall...

Sexuality is a topic that we are faced with in our culture on almost a daily basis. We hear some voices in our culture promoting sexual expression and then we hear other voices seemingly condemning it. But at the end of the day, does God really care about your sexuality? If He does, why is it such a big deal? In the first message of this series, Pastor Sean talks about what God has to say about se...

As Pastor Sean wraps up our series Villains, he takes a look at quite possibly one of the most tragic story endings in the Bible. Despite this Villain’s wickedness and rebellion towards God, God still gave him multiple chances to make things right. Even when Zedekiah knew what the outcome to his poor choices would be, he still chose to make the wrong choice. In this teaching, Pastor Sean shares th...

In today’s teaching, Pastor Sean shares some of the coolest, hidden stories in the Bible on how God interacted with mankind throughout history. He shares the story of King Ben-Hadad, King Joram, and Elisha and shows the outcome of these men’s decision to to obey or disobey God. But we also see in these stories how often mankind tries to limit God to our own intelligence, but in reality, God i...

Our Villains series kicks off with the story of one of the baddest Old Testament queens in all the land. The evil acts of the infamous Queen Jezebel have been referenced throughout popular culture, even to this day! In today’s teaching, Pastor Sean takes a look at how, despite Jezebel’s violent and manipulative acts, God gave her more than one chance for redemption. And we find...

Have you ever tried to do something that was just too big for you? Maybe you overcommitted to a project or wanted to help fix an issue in your town but you just ended up feeling discouraged and insignificant? Like no matter how many hours or resources you put into it, it wouldn’t even scratch the surface? Many of us have faced these seemingly impossible situations before and as a result, we tend t...

There are times in life when God steps into our lives and changes the course of our lives as we know it. While we work our whole lives to live as comfortable and painless as possible, God knows that when our world seemingly gets turned upside down, our faith and trust in Him are forced to grow. This week, Pastor Sean’s Dad, Ron Sears, shares with us the story of Zechariah and how God moved into hi...
