The Grace City Church Podcast

Our response to Jesus can often lead us to be either a spectator of His or an active participant in His ongoing mission to the world.  

We encourage one another to discover life in Christ by creating environments where people are encouraged and equipped to take their next step of faith. 

We discover life in Christ by His grace, in His community, and when we live with His purposes as our own. 

Creating a church where we experience the love of Christ helps us discover life in Him.

As we enter a new year, may we live as Paul teaches in 1 Corinthians 15, as people who have a future hope that affects the here and the now. 

We can live with confident hope because the darkness has not overcome the light.

During Advent, we celebrate the joy and peace of Christ by helping others experience these aspects of His Kingdom.

This advent season, we celebrate the arrival of Christ and the love he has for us. This season reminds the church that we are to love because it’s at the heart of our witness as love was originated by God, defined by His son, and demonstrated in His people.

Because of God's promises that he has fulfilled in the past and His promises for the future, we can have hope in this Advent season.

Praise reminds us the Lord is near.

Praise teaches us about the character of the Lord, the authority that He has, and the actions He takes. In this way, praise leads to transformation as we bring our character in line with His, submit to His ultimate authority, and take up His redeeming work.

God's greatness provides a never-ending occasion to praise Him, daily anchoring us to His hope and encouraging us with His goodness.

As Citizens in the Kingdom of God, the voting booth is another place where we can love our neighbor as ourselves and place their needs and concerns above our own.

With what seems like everyone trying to drive a wedge between us, how do we live free of conflict with one another, as good ambassadors of the light of Jesus? How can we live in the unity of Christ in these politically supercharged times? Those are the questions we aim to answer in this message. 

As followers of Christ engaged in the political arena, we cannot lose what makes us distinct, and we must be present in areas that need to see the hope of Christ. 

We are to expect both persecution and blessing when we are loyal to Christ and His pursuit of righteousness in this world

When we live as peacemakers, we show ourselves part of the family of God.

During his sermon on the mount, Jesus teaches that we cannot fully know or see God until we are purified from our unrighteousness.

Blessed are those who are merciful because we discover the mercy that God has shown to us.

When we thirst for the righteousness of God, we long to see God right the wrongs of our heart and our community.

A bold faith in a just and sovereign God enables one to live with a confident humility before Him and others.

When we mourn, we experience the comfort of God and the calling of His Kingdom

Those who feel their soul is emptied and drained can take hope in God's grace, who welcomes us into the restoration of His Kingdom.

Part of walking in the truth in love is not endorsing lies with our presence or platform. 

We bear witness about the truth of Christ by living truthful lives.
