The Grove Church / Dallas, Texas

Our influence often shows up in the ordinary moments—when we’re not even aware we’re making an impact. That’s why integrity matters: our “holy orders” aren’t just lived out on stages or in sanctuaries, but in kitchens, classrooms, text messages, and quiet conversations. Pastor Michele reminds us that we are most often reflecting Christ when we don’t realize we are.

When suffering shakes our world and the answers feel far away, we need a hope to cling to. In this sermon, Pastor Stephen addresses the hardest questions and helps us discover a God who doesn’t stay distant, but steps in to redeem what’s been broken.

What message are we actually meant to share as followers of Jesus? This week, Pastor Allie explore what the Gospel really is—and what it’s not. From televangelist altar calls to “just be a good person” Christianity, we’ve heard a lot of versions. Some emphasize heaven, others justice, blessing, or behavior. But Jesus had something deeper in mind: a whole new kind of life. Join us as we rediscover...

What if the thing holding you back from influencing others for Jesus…isn’t your ability—but the voice you’ve been listening to? The false gospel of fear silences your voice, shrinks your calling, and keeps you from living as the salt and light Jesus calls you to be. It’s a counterfeit message—fed by so many other false gospels like performance, perfectionism, shame, and self-reliance—that twists t...

We often think influence is for people with platforms, microphones, expertise, or a verified badge. But Jesus had something else in mind. In this sermon on Matthew 5:13-16, Pastor Allie talks about what it means to be salt and light in a world that feels overwhelming—and how your everyday presence might be the very thing God uses to make a difference.

Like curious kids asking “But why?”, we all wonder what’s really behind God’s commands. Are they just rules to restrict us, or is there something more going on? In this sermon, Pastor Stephen invites us to wrestle with the heart behind God's guardrails, and what they reveal about the life we're meant to live.

We all know the danger of distracted driving. But what if distraction is quietly wrecking more than our commutes? In a world where our attention is constantly under siege and where screens demand more of us than we realize, it’s time to ask: What is all of this doing to our souls? In this sermon, Pastor Stephen explore the hidden cost of technology and what it might take to get our lives back.

We chase financial independence thinking it will make us free, but it only leaves us more dependent on our money and the false promises it makes. In this sermon, Pastor Stephen shows how Jesus offers a better kind of freedom, one built on trust, not control.

Relationships are beautiful- and complicated. Without clear boundaries, we risk exhaustion, resentment or isolation. In this message, Pastor Allie explores what Scripture says about relational guardrails that help us love others well without losing ourselves. Because godly relationships don't mean carrying everything- just what is ours to carry. 

No one plans to burn out — but without time guardrails, that’s exactly where we’re headed. In the sermon, Pastor Stephen explores the oldest and most ignored guardrail in scripture and how reclaiming God’s rhythm for our time might just save our lives.

No one plans to crash—but in this sermon, Pastor Stephen shows why so many do, and how guardrails can keep your life from going off the edge.

In a world where we subscribe and unsubscribe at will, we are being formed into people who struggle to commit to anything beyond ourselves. In this sermon, Pastor Stephen reminds us that the church was never meant to be just another option — it was meant to be a people committed to something greater than themselves, something powerful enough to change the world.

We are experts at hoping, and yet masters at hoping in the wrong things. In this Easter message, Pastor Stephen explores the only hope that can withstand both the disappointments of life and the despair of death.

In this sermon, Pastor Stephen explores why the freedom to “live your truth” might be the very thing leaving you both disoriented and exhausted—and how Jesus offers a way that’s both truer and better.

Why do so many of us feel burned out, spiritually dry, and stuck—even when we’re doing all the right things? What if the problem isn’t your effort... but something deeper, hidden in the way you’re trying to grow?

We crave clarity from God—guidance, answers, direction. But what if the problem isn’t that God isn’t speaking… what if we just don’t know how to listen? In John 10, Jesus calls himself the Good Shepherd, and says his sheep know his voice. In this sermon, Pastor Allie explores how we become the kind of people who recognize that voice in the middle of a noisy world.

Have you ever chased something that promised happiness but left you feeling even more lost? In this sermon, Pastor Stephen reveals how the paths we confidently trust might be misleading us—and points us toward a better way.

We are all aware of the darkness that surrounds us. Many of us might even feel stuck in darkness. What if you may be stuck in darkness because you have an inadequate light? This week pastor Isaiah delves into week three of I Am to talk about Jesus' second statement "I am the light of the world." Tune in to see what might be keeping you stuck in darkness.

We live in a world that keeps us chasing more—more success, more approval, more fulfillment—yet never truly satisfies. In this sermon we wrestle with Jesus’ bold claim: 'I am the Bread of Life,' and uncover what we’re really hungry for… and why only He can satisfy.

The most important question you’ll ever answer is, ‘Who is Jesus?’—because it shapes everything about your life. But what if you’ve been getting Him wrong?

We all wear masks to protect ourselves, but what we suppress doesn’t disappear—it pops out into our relationships. Pastor Allie shows us how Jesus isn’t afraid of our shadow, and when we stop performing and let ourselves be fully seen, we create space for real love actually. 

What if the greatest threat to your relationships isn’t what’s said—but what’s left unsaid? In this sermon, Pastor Stephen reveals how unspoken gratitude breeds disconnection—and why our silence is a slippery slope towards ingratitude, entitlement, and criticism. 

Ever walked away from a conversation wishing you had stayed quiet? Or felt unheard because someone was too busy preparing their next argument? We talk too much, listen too little, and get frustrated too quickly. But what if the key to better relationships isn’t about saying more—but about hearing more?

What if everything our culture tells us about love is actually what's keeping us from the deep, lasting relationships we were created for? In this sermon, Pastor Stephen helps us understand God's vision for love and how to live it out in our relationships.

We all do it. We know others do it. And yet, we get very scared whenever the topic comes up. That's right, Pastor Allie is talking about that 's' word-- sin-- and how we can bring our sins into the light through the practice of confession.
