The Grove Church

This week, we had the privilege of hearing from guest speaker Joel Davis as he shared a message on the love of God that spans the entire story of Scripture. This message traces God's love through creation, covenant, the cross, and the promise that He will one day make all things new, revealing that love has always been the reason behind His redemptive plan. Join us next week at 9:00 & 10:30am as w...

In the final message of our series, The Bible Tells Me So, we answer one of the biggest questions people ask about Christianity: Why do Christians interpret the Bible so differently? We discover that Christians actually agree on far more than most people realize, and that the loudest disagreements are often not the majority. We also look at why many differences come from faithful attempts to under...

As we celebrated Father's Day together, we continued our series The Bible Tells Me So by wrestling with a question that every believer eventually faces: How do I trust the Bible when I disagree with it? The real test of biblical trust isn't what we do with the verses we love. It's what we do with the verses we wish weren't there. This message explores why disagreement doesn't have to weaken our fa...

In the third message of our series The Bible Tells Me So, we explore a question many people wrestle with: Why is an ancient book like the Bible still relevant today? From eyewitness accounts and fulfilled prophecy to the resurrection of Jesus, this message examines the evidence behind Scripture's reliability and challenges us to consider whether the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus are histo...

In the second message of our series The Bible Tells Me So, we explore one of the most common objections to Christianity: Isn't the Bible full of contradictions? From God's wrath and mercy to His sovereignty and our free will, Scripture is filled with truths that can seem difficult to reconcile. This message challenges us to look beyond the surface and discover that these aren't contradictions to d...

In the first message of our series The Bible Tells Me So, we explore a question many people are asking today: Why is the Bible worth trusting? You can easily go online and find the historical, archaeological, and scientific evidence that points to the reliability of Scripture. Instead, this message takes a more personal approach, looking at three reasons we can trust the Bible: it has remained und...

This Sunday, Jonathan Moore shared a message titled Reordering the Heart: The Divine Sequence of Love. Through Matthew 22 and his personal story of searching, surrender, and encountering God’s grace, we are reminded of the order Jesus calls us to live by: loving God first, and then loving our neighbor as ourselves. This message challenges us to examine what may be competing for first place in our...

In the final message of our sermon series No Other Gospel, we look at one of the central themes of Galatians: freedom. Through Galatians 5, we are reminded that Jesus didn’t set us free to live however we want, but to walk by the Spirit and love others well. This message challenges us to examine how we may be abusing our freedom while encouraging us to focus less on rule keeping and more on walkin...

In this special Mothers Day message at The Grove Church, we continue week 5 of our series No Other Gospel by looking at one of the most beautiful truths of the gospel: adoption. Through Galatians 3:26–4:7, we are reminded that in Christ, God does not simply tolerate us but welcomes us into His family as adopted children. This message unpacks the difference between being slaves to sin and adopted c...

In week 5 of our sermon series No Other Gospel, we are challenged to look at something that might be uncomfortable for many of us, confrontation. This message unpacks how to approach confrontation with wisdom, patience, and courage by praying first, going face to face, and holding both truth and grace together. Through Paul confronting Peter, we are challenged to allow the gospel to confront us fi...

On week 3 of our sermon series No Other Gospel, Pastor Kale Kinchen teaches from Galatians 2, calling us to stand firm in the true gospel of Jesus. This message unpacks how the gospel creates deep conviction, clarifies our specific calling, and commands a life of compassion, especially toward those in need. Through Paul’s example, we are challenged to live fully anchored in grace, resisting the pr...

This Sunday we continued our sermon series titled, No Other Gospel. As we walk through the book of Galatians, we are learning what it means to move beyond simply hearing the gospel and begin to truly build our lives on it. This week, Meredith Kirk Thompson explored the difference between renting and owning the gospel, and challenged us to test both its source and its result in our lives. We were r...

This Sunday we started a brand new sermon series titled, No Other Gospel. In this series, we’re walking through the book of Galatians to rediscover the true, unchanging gospel of Jesus and guard against the subtle ways it can be distorted. This week, we looked at how even a small shift away from the truth can have serious consequences, and were reminded that the gospel is not about what we do but...

This Easter at The Grove Church, we celebrated that Jesus is alive and how that changes everything. The first people to hear “Christ is risen” weren’t filled with joy, but fear and confusion, reminding us that the reality of the empty tomb challenges what we think we know and invites us to see for ourselves. Join us next week as we jump into a brand new series you won’t want to miss!

Tonight on Good Friday, we remember the cross because it is central to our faith and not something we ever move on from or graduate from. Jesus did not just die for us, but instead of us and because of us. The encouragement is to remember the cross daily. What sin do you need to crucify in your life and trust that it was nailed to the cross of Jesus? Friday is good because Sunday s coming. Join us...

Today for Palm Sunday, we looked at a hard truth: the danger of unmet expectations and how they can shape or shake our faith in God. The crowd praised Jesus for who they expected Him to be, but when He didn’t meet those expectations, everything changed, reminding us to trust who He truly is, not just what we want Him to do. We also have the privilege of hearing Gina Brown share her testimony, and...

Today we wrapped up Conversations With God by answering a hard question: Why isn’t God answering my prayers? The truth is He is. Just not always the way we expect. Sometimes the answer is no, sometimes it’s not yet, and both are for our good and growth. Join us next week as we jump into a new series that we are really excited about!

Today we continued our series, Conversations with God, with a live Q&A by answering some of the most honest and practical questions about prayer. As a church, we want to be a people who love God, love people, and ask questions, which is why we created space this week to hear and respond to your questions. Prayer is not meant to be a self-help tool or simply a way to get what we want. Scripture sho...

Today we continued our series, Conversations with God, by answering a practical question: How should we pray? Prayer is not about performing for others or trying to impress God with the perfect words. Jesus teaches that prayer should be focused on the heart rather than the vocabulary. Instead of empty or performative prayers, we are invited to approach our Father with humility, honesty, and trust,...

Today we continued our series, Conversations with God, with Matt Brown addressing a foundational question: Why should I pray? One common struggle in both culture and the church is believing that prayer is unnecessary, ineffective, or simply a last resort when things fall apart. Prayer is not about informing God of what He does not know, nor is it an attempt to bend His will to ours. It is an act o...

Today we begin our new series, Conversations with God, by addressing a foundational question: What is prayer? One common misconception in both culture and the church is that prayer is merely asking God for help. This message is for anyone who feels unsure about how to approach God. Prayer is not a formula or a spiritual wishlist, but a real conversation with God. Rather than simply talking at Him...

What is the significance of Ash Wednesday? Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent and calls us to remember a truth we often avoid: we are dust, and our days are numbered. Pastor Kale reflects on the meaning of ashes, the frailty of life, our need for repentance, the tension between the flesh and the Spirit, and the connection between prayer and fasting, reminding us that fasting is not merely a...

Today we continue our series, The Lies of Love, by confronting a deeply rooted belief in both culture and the church: that the goal of marriage is personal happiness. This message is for couples, future spouses, and anyone longing for a clearer, more biblical understanding of marriage. In this message, we challenge the “happily ever after” narrative and explore how God uses marriage to form holine...

Today we continue our series, The Lies of Love, by addressing one of the most pervasive lies in both culture and Christian culture: that singleness is a problem to be solved. This message is for singles and marrieds alike as we seek a better, more biblical understanding of singleness. In this message, we uncover how Scripture presents singleness not as a deficiency, but as a beautiful and meaningf...

Today we begin a new series, The Lies of Love, by addressing one of the most confusing and misunderstood topics in our culture: love. This message explores how both culture and the church often reduce love to slogans or relationship status and why those definitions fall short of what Scripture reveals. In this message, we confront the lie that love is most clearly defined when nothing is wrong and...
