The Grove Baptist Church

What kind of King do we really want—and what kind do we actually need? On Palm Sunday, the crowd welcomed Jesus as King, but soon rejected Him when He didn’t meet their expectations. In this message, we explore Jesus as the Good Shepherd—one who leads, knows, saves, and gives life that never ends.

What happens when life doesn’t go the way we plan? Jeremiah’s life provides an insight for us when we feel unsuccessful in all areas of life. We are reminded that through every season the one thing that never changes is the love and mercy of God over our lives.

Mission has always been about sharing the life-changing message of Jesus. In a world desperate for hope, the Great Commission calls us to go, make disciples, and share the hope, love, and forgiveness found in the Gospel.

Paul encouraged the Ephesian Church to stand firm in their faith and armour up against the forces of evil that would seek to undermine them. Persevering prayer is the means by which we keep alert and remain connected with God.

Baptism has always been a deeply important part of the Christian faith. Romans 6 shows us how we are unified with Jesus through baptism.

In a world obsessed with coming first, the Bible teaches something surprising: relationships actually thrive when we choose second. In Ephesians 5:21–6:9, Paul calls believers to “submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.” Jesus Himself showed this way—serving others and giving His life. When we follow His example in our marriages, families, and workplaces, relationships flourish and peop...

We are often good at identifying problems, but not good at solving them. Romans 12:3-8 show us that our service is God’s answer to heal and restore the world.

Christians are called to live as children of light but can be tempted by darkness and to play in the shadows.

Hebrews reminds us that Jesus has opened the way and secured our place with God, but spiritual growth happens when we step into that access — drawing near, holding fast to hope, and walking together in encouragement. Growth happens when God’s grace meets obedience.

Christians choose to clothe in Christ or return to worldly living. Passage is a reminder to take up our cross daily and follow Jesus.

Pastor Steve shares deep insights into how the Holy Spirit works in our lives to help us become more like Jesus every day.

In this message from Ephesians 4:7–16, we’re reminded that grace is given, gifts are shared, and growth is God’s heart for His church. As we belong to Christ, are grounded in truth, and step into our part in His body, we become fully alive together, reflecting Jesus to the world as we grow up in Him.

As we step into a new year as a church, Ephesians 4 reminds us that unity is God’s gift and our calling. When we live with humility, patience, and love, we make Jesus visible to our community and create a place where people can belong and grow. In a divided world, a united church carries powerful mission — because when the church is one, the neighbourhood can be won.

We spend our lives trying to 'find ourselves' through our careers, our relationships, and our hobbies - but why does it leave us feeling so exhausted? In this sermon, we dig into how God offers us something far better: a purpose-driven identity that can’t be stripped away and how we can only find our true identity in Christ.

What does it mean to truly be wholehearted as God is? Wholehearted permeated with God as a human being and wholehearted in how that is lived out in all of life.

Living as a christian in our modern world comes with many challenges.  These challenges however are not new and the bible has some great wisdom on how to go about living amongst unbelievers.  Pastor Ian shares from both old and new testaments on this topic.

How significant are humans? This sermon explores whether we are more like dust or more like diamonds. Or could we be both?

In a world competing for our attention, it’s easy to drift without noticing. This sermon explores how God anchors our hearts, redirects our desires, and calls us to go from shallow distraction to deep, rooted life in Christ.

It’s easy to settle into routines that help us cope — but what if God is calling us to more? In this message from Exodus 3, we look at Moses’ encounter with the burning bush and discover how God interrupts ordinary life with holy moments. When Moses asks, “Who am I?”, God answers with a powerful revelation: “I AM.” This sermon invites us to come near, listen, and respond — even before we know the...

In a world filled with worry and pressure Matthew 6:25-32 reminds us that God takes care of all things. When we turn our worry list into a prayer list, we find rest in our heavenly father.

In a world competing for our attention, it’s easy to lose heart by constantly looking down—at problems, pressures, and distractions. In this first message of the Look Up series, we’re invited to lift our eyes again. Drawing from Hebrews 12, this sermon explores how what gets our attention shapes our desires, and how fixing our eyes on Jesus renews our hearts, restores endurance, and helps us finis...

Fear keeps our eyes on imagined futures so we never obey God in the present. God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline — a fire meant to be stirred, not smothered. Because of Jesus, the Holy Spirit gives us courage to step out in faith when fear shows up.

For many people coming “home” for Christmas is special.  An opportunity to reconnect with family and loved ones.  For others it’s not so special and often resurfaces past trauma and difficulties in relationships.  Jesus came at Christmas for one purpose… to give us a permanent heavenly home that will be more than special for anyone. Pastor Marty shares the powerful truth behind the reason for the...
