Team Grace ventures up to the orphanage by way of a treacherous mountain pass... with a name that isn't very encouraging.

How can a biblically conservative ("right wing") person think about and do mercy ministry ("social justice")? Our pastor talked about that today in a message that I think many of you would enjoy... even if you don't think you're into that kind of thing.🙂 Here that is: http://gracecommunity.ws/sermon/liberating-the-lowly

Based on today's passage, visiting pastor Mike Dickson encouraged us toward greater sexual integrity, and shared some strategies to help us to stay on track.

Mike Dickson is a pastor and Director of Community Outreach at Solid Rock Church in Riverdale, MD. A native of the Washington metro area, Mike became a believer shortly after graduating high school. He served in the military and then worked in the corporate world before joining the staff of Solid Ro...

In Psalm 38, David seems to be suffering for no obvious reason. Visiting pastor Mike McKinley discusses how David processed this difficulty in today's helpful message.

a. He accepts God’s discipline and asks for mercy b. He acknowledged God’s knowledge and presence c. He waits for the Lord d. He confesses his sin

"LOVE, not law, is what makes us holy." "The gospel is a biblical romance — a prince rescuing his bride so they can live happily ever after." Sound interesting? Check out yesterday's message here!

…from there through to the end of chapter 5, Paul unfolds for us a way of getting right with God. It is absolutely stunning. It is the furthest thing from a moral improvement program. It is the furthest thing from better rule keeping or more disciplined living or being nicer people or getting our ...

"You can come out of your tomb because Jesus came out of His." This thought, regarding literal and metaphorical tombs, is from yesterday's message, which you can hear here!

The effect in [Christ] is the measure of how seriously God takes our rebellion and crookedness. We typically wish to make light of our ‘shortcomings,’ to explain away our ‘mistakes.’ But God will have none of it. The refusal of humanity to bow to the Creator’s rule, and our insistence on d...

"Much more... much more... all the more" has grace abounded to us through Christ than condemnation through Adam (Rom. 5:15,17,20). What a savior we have! This message is highly recommended and available at http://gracecommunity.ws/?sermon=much-more

Are you patient with God's timing? Do you feel tired of waiting? This week's message touches on that, and we hope you find it to be helpful!

“Almost surely this was a scroll that contained their names as signatories to some sort of statement of their commitment to Yahweh in faith that they were disassociating themselves from the prevailing sins, that his promises were reliable, and that his covenant was to be kept. In other words, this...

Our visiting speaker today shared a great message on our need as believers to experience the power of the Spirit. Video and audio for that are here!

“The humility of the Spirit in relationship to the work of the Son is not a reason to inquire no further about His own person and character. After all, if we love a modest person, we want to know all we possibly can about that person and to praise him or her! Similarly, the ministry of the Spirit ...

We were reminded from Malachi today that God does for us what we cannot do for ourselves in the area of sanctification. Videos and *amplified* audio for that are now up! (Previous weeks are up also.)

We've kicked off the new year with a convicting message from Malachi (consider: Are you giving God leftovers, or your best? Ouch.). Check it out below!

When you become so blind that the maker of galaxies and ruler of nations and knower of all mysteries and lover of our souls becomes boring, then only one thing is left—the love of the world. For the heart is always restless. It must have its treasure: if not in heaven, then on the earth. — Jo....

Bob's helpful message, "Joy in the Unenjoyable", is up in both audio and video! Among other things, he encourages us to rejoice in our trials, according to today's passage, knowing that they are necessary to produce godly character. Hope you enjoy!

Eph. 3:16-19 — “…that according to the riches of [God’s] glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend wit...

"[Faith] is friends with grace... It texts grace all the time, and sends it cute little emojis." - Bob Donohue, from the message, "It Depends on Faith" 🤭

11/23/2017

Sunday's message, "It Depends on Faith", is up! Bob makes several helpful observations from Rom. 4:13-25, which is followed on our patio by the testimony and baptism of a new member (see video). We hope you enjoy! http://gracecommunity.ws/?sermon=it-depends-on-faith

Genesis 17:7-8 — “And I will establish my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your offspring after you.

Today's class by Greg on Narrative Theology, and Bob's message on the gospel from Romans 3:27-4:12, are up! http://gracecommunity.ws/?sermon=who-owes-whom

So “blessed are you” does not mean “untroubled are you” or “healthy are you” or “admired are you” or “prosperous are you.” It means “between you and God all is well.” You are deeply secure, profoundly content, happy in God – even if you are weeping over the pain of a struck body, a perplexed mind, o...

A hurricane is coming that will make any earthly hurricane look like a gentle Spring rain. Can you see the sky? It’s been revealed. It will be world wide, and will even reach back into history. It will not be downgraded to a tropical storm.

Bob spoke on a foundational passage yesterday! Please take time to enjoy this one this week, if you can. "But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it—the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins."

Our Father's Day message is up! The text is from Hosea 11, in which we see God acting as loving father on our behalf, to deliver us from ultimate harm.

God is angry at what keeps us from Him, at these idols, and He is going to do something about it. This is what a father does: He acts. A father is moved, not just in his emotions, but he gets up, protects, delivers, and saves.

Guest speaker Bill Patton's message about the authority of Christ is now online!

Text: Luke 8:26-39 — Jesus has all authority over all spiritual forces of wickedness, and he will bring them to certain and final judgment.

05/15/2017

Bill Patton's Mother's Day message is now online! From the gospel of Luke he observed that while the women proclaimed the resurrection, the men were filled with doubt. When Jesus appeared to the men, He corrected them: “Oh foolish ones, slow of heart to believe”.

In the ancient world, Christianity was mocked for being too pro-women! That is a far cry from what one hears in cultural conversations today. // We wouldn’t be here today if it weren't for countless faithful women throughout history.

The video for Alan Redrup's message is now on our website! We can't post it here because it includes a copyrighted movie clip.

We fight sin most effectively when we are most conscious that we have been forgiven. That's when we have the high ground on the battlefield. When we are free from condemnation, we are free to forget what lies behind, and [to] press on toward the goal
