WL Grace Sermons

God’s Construction Project Our church facility is a construction zone . . . and so is each one of our lives. What are God’s construction plans for our lives? Join us as we begin a new year and a new sermon series titled: “Work in Progress.”

A Mystery Wrapped in a Glorious Enigma  When God lifted the veil on His plan to save mankind, He answered one mystery with an even greater one. Join us as we marvel at the mystery of Christmas, which reveals the heart of God.      

Introducing . . .  The promised Messiah had been the central hope of the Jewish people for a thousand years. However, mystery surrounded the questions of when and how He would arrive. Finally, the long-awaited announcement came. Join us as Pastor Tim Boucher leads us through Luke 1.

Hidden in Plain Sight With the advent of Jesus, God raised the curtain on the mystery of his salvation plan, which had been “hidden for long ages past” (Romans 16:25).  Hidden in plain sight, that is, for all along the prophets had announced the coming of the Messiah.  Join us as we consider some of those prophecies and the faithful waiting they inspired.  

Grand Finale Everyone loves the “grand finale” of a fireworks show. Join us as we look at Paul’s “grand finale” at the end of the Book of Romans. Pastor Kip will also be setting up our Christmas sermon series titled “The Mystery of Christmas.”

When We Don’t See Eye-to-Eye Christians don’t agree about everything. That’s no surprise. What is a surprise is how God’s love and grace call us to relate to people with whom we don’t agree. Join us as Pastor Kip continues in our study of Romans.

Not My Caesar We might wonder if anyone ever thought or said that in first century Rome. Possibly. Why else would Paul have broached the topic of how the gospel should impact our attitude towards civic authorities? Join us as Sam Yeiter talks us through a very relevant topic in Romans 13. 

Paul has explained the gospel thoroughly. But what does the gospel look like in action?  How is it lived out in real time? Join us as we launch into the practical application of the gospel.

Beautiful Feet The only way people have the chance to believe the gospel is if they hear it.  The only way they’ll hear the good news is if someone takes it to them.  The only way someone will take the message of salvation to others is if they are sent.  And those who are sent have “beautiful feet” (Romans 10:15).  What does that mean?!  Join us as we look at how hearing and believing are dependen...

It is tempting to think that the biggest thing going on in the Middle East is the violent conflict between Israel and her enemies. That’s what gets the headlines. However, the most important thing going on in the Middle East (and everywhere else around the globe) is that God is continuing to call out from every nation a people who are His very own. Who are those people? Join us as we continue in R...

Hope Stronger Than Suffering In a fallen world, struggles and suffering are unavoidable. Following Jesus doesn’t necessarily make life easier. However, it does make life better. How? Because the believer’s hope is greater than life’s struggles. Join us as we explore the reasons for confident hope in Romans chapter eight.

When it comes to our struggle with sin, the battle is in and for the mind. This battle is won as we develop habits of focusing our minds on the Holy Spirit, the very presence of God in our lives. What does it mean to set our minds on the Spirit, and how do we do this today? Join us as we dive into Romans chapter 8.

Just because we know our destination doesn’t mean there won’t be struggles along the way. We have right-standing with God through faith in Jesus. Now, through His Spirit, God is making us more and more like His Son. This doesn’t happen immediately or without struggle. But God has promised to finish what He started. Join us as we talk through Romans chapter 7.      

True Freedom Freedom, it turns out, isn’t the right or ability to do anything we want.  True freedom is the power to do what is right.  In an ironic turn of phrase, Paul describes this kind of true freedom as “being slaves to righteousness.”  Join us as we look at Romans chapter six and Paul’s argument for true freedom as opposed to grace abuse.

If we viewed our lives like an accounting ledger, with our sins being debits and our good works being credits, what would our bottom line look like to God? The answer is that we all carry a massive, insurmountable deficit. How would that change if the righteousness of Christ were credited to our account? A whole lot! Join us as we consider Romans 4 and the story of Abraham, a man whose faith in Go...

How It Works We all love salvation. But how does it work? Join us as we go “under the hood” of salvation to understand how God can forgive us and still be just. 

What’s Our Problem? Paul has talked about pagan Gentiles, so-called “good”people, and religious Jews. There is a lot of finger-pointing going on between these groups; however, we all end up in the same boat. We all share the same fundamental problem. What is it? Join us as Sam Yeiter concludes the first section of our sermon series in Romans.  

Think Again Last Sunday we looked at how the Apostle Paul described the wickedness and evil of this world which God will justly judge (Romans 1:21-32). This Sunday, Paul addresses two groups of people who, for one reason or another, think they are exempt from God’s judgment (Romans 2). To them (and to us) Paul says: “Think again.” Join us as we continue in our study of the Book of Romans.

Wrath for Real God’s wrath, like death and taxes, is not a conversation starter. Like taxes and death, God’s wrath is real and must be reckoned with. Unlike taxes and death, God’s wrath is avoidable . . . but that’s getting ahead of the story. What is God’s wrath? Why does it exist? What should we know about it? Join us as Pastor Tim Boucher leads us through Romans 1:18-32. 

“I am not ashamed of the gospel,” wrote Paul in the opening section of his epistle to the believers in Rome. Why was Paul so eager and unashamed to share the gospel with the church in Rome? Join us as we launch into Romans, the Bible’s most thorough revelation of the gospel of God’s grace.       

Isaiah 53 is arguably the clearest presentation of the gospel in the Old Testament. It’s powerful, but it isn’t pretty or easy to read. Grace is God’s free gift of forgiveness to us, but it cost Him infinitely. Inspired by the Holy Spirit, Isaiah stretches human language in his effort to describe the infinite cost of grace. Join us as we conclude our sermon series, “Ancient Hope: The Gospel in the...

“On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided,” said God’s people long before Jesus appeared. What will be provided? A substitute! Centuries before it was fulfilled at the cross of Christ on a hill outside Jerusalem, God’s promise of providing a substitute was foreshadowed, possibly on the same mountain. Join us as Dr. Tiberius Rata takes us to one of the high points of God’s grace in the Old T...

Out of Egypt God’s rescue of his people from bondage in Egypt is the great salvation story of the Old Testament. At the heart of the Passover story is God’s grace in making a way to redeem and free his people.  Join us as we consider how this saving grace still frees us today.

Surprised by Grace Grace shows up in unexpected places and in unexpected ways, starting with the worst day in the history of the world (Genesis 3). God leaves an ever-expanding trail of grace right through the Old Testament. Join us as we begin to follow this trail of grace in the Old Testament with a new sermon series titled “Ancient Hope.”
