Villas Grace Church

Generally speaking, no one likes to apologize. Even as children we had to be forced to do so. Why? So, we can have good loving relationships with those around us. Our relationship with God is no different. As Christians, we must recognize that we are sinners and we have a Heavenly Father that wants to bring forgiveness to our lives. Forgiveness is a part of God’s grace, mercy and love for those th...

How do we act when the power goes out? First we have a sudden case of amnesia, as we flip light switches to the on position forgetting there is no power. Secondly, we find an alternative source of light. As Christians, we must understand that the light has gone out on this world. We too need another source of light. Fortunately, God the Father through Jesus His Son has provided a True source of li...

When political parties campaign, we the people are either undecided or decided as to how we will cast our vote. Those who are decided usually share their political association by attending rallies, placing signs in their yard and bumper stickers on their car. The undecided do none of the sort. Therefore, no one knows their political allegiance. Unfortunately, many Christians are similar. Do the pe...

The question at Villas Grace church is “Why re-invent the wheel?” We desire to be adaptable enough to deploy at a moments notice. We admit that we do not have it all figured out. As a church, we will always have much to learn. Therefore, we desire to partner with other organizations who can help lead us to those who need to know that Jesus is our only hope. Join us on Sunday for our sermon on Vill...

What is truth? Truth is one of the most misunderstood and misused terms today. Is it something we create ourselves out of personal experience or is it something waiting to be discovered? Is truth absolute or is it something that changes with belief? There are many situations where the truth can mean life or death. Therefore, truth matters! Join us this Sunday as we reveal Villas Grace Value 6 of 7...

Anyone who has planted a garden understands that patience is a virtue. Seeds are sown today to be reaped in the harvest season of tomorrow. The same is true when we give to the local church. We give our time, resources and ideas towards the mission of making followers of Jesus. What we give today will be reaped as a reward in eternity. Join us this Sunday for Villas Grace Value 5 of 7: "We Live To...

It's widely believed that bad habits are easy to make and hard to break. Studies theorize that our brains work on a trigger and rewards basis. So, in theory it's easy to fall into a routine, but hard to resist rewards that are either healthy or unhealthy. Now, let's compare this to raising children. As parents, it's important to establish healthy habits early. Therefore, the local church should be...

Celebrate & Rejoice - Luke 2:10 - 14 - Israel Rosado by Villas Grace Church

This time of year we hear various sayings that remind us as to why we celebrate Christmas. For example: "Keep Christ in Christmas," or "Jesus is the reason for the season". See, Jesus is God's gift to humanity. He left heaven and took on human form in order to reveal God's plan of eternal salvation. In doing so, He revealed to us that God is full of grace and truth! Therefore, because of Jesus an...

Any group or entity that is successful will share common traits. They are unified and organized around a central cause. As Christians, we are no different. However, our central cause is not an idea, but a person. This person is Jesus Christ, our Savior who wants to rescue the lost and restore them to Himself. Join us this Sunday to discover Villas Grace Value 3 of 7, "We Make Followers of Jesus".

Have you ever purchased an item that requires some assembly? Sometimes the directions are clear and easy to follow, other times they're lost in translation. Step A, B, and C are followed consecutively. As you proceed to D and on to F, it becomes apparent that E was neglected. So, what do you do? Back track! How about when you're finished, but are somehow either still missing a piece, or have a few...

The musical, “The King and I” premiered on March 29th, 1951. Of the musical’s wonderful 21 songs, one comes to the forefront—“Getting To Know You”. The catchy phrase “Getting to know you, getting to know all about you,” represents how we as Christians should approach our relationship with Jesus. This phrase also represents how we should approach our relationships with one another. Join us this Sun...

Radar was invented by Sir Robert Watson-Watt in 1935. By 1939 the British had established a chain of radar stations positioned along the southern and eastern coast of England in order to detect foreign aggressors. Despite the defensive advantage of this technology, aircraft could still avoid radar by flying below it. As Christians, we too have defensively positioned our radar against the aggressio...

Why does evil exist? Why do bad things happen to good people? These are deep theological questions. Suffering is brought up several times through out the book of 1st Peter. As Christians, we do not shy away from these questions and view them differently than the unbelieving world. Join us this Sunday as we examine 1 Peter 4:12-19 to delve deeper into this topic.

How do we verbally address a man or woman of the United States Armed Forces when they're in uniform? We typically say: "Thanks for your service!" Military persons have undergone extensive training. The training they receive equips them to serve. Christians are like military service men and woman. We have been equipped to serve too. Join us this Sunday for our sermon: "Gifted To Serve," in 1 Peter...

Do you know what an art gallery and storefront window have in common? They're both displays that showcase a featured item. Like an artist's collection showcased at an art gallery, or a storefront's window, as Christians we're called to display something too. So, what is it that we're called to display? Grace! Join us this Sunday as we learn how God has called us to reveal His grace to others in ou...

So really, what's the point of a beauty pageant? What's the point of modeling, & or creating a model? From the Miss America pageant, to the Westminster Dog Show, to a car dealership's show room model, it's really all the same. Any & all modeling is an attempt to reveal the ideal standard. Even the American dollar had an ideal standard. What was the ideal standard of the dollar until 1933? Gold! As...
