We began Mental Health Awareness Month by asking a simple but powerful question:
“Where Are You?” A question that invited us to be honest about where we are emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Now we continue the journey. Once we acknowledge where we are, more questions often follow:
*How do we move from anxiety to peace?
*From uncertainty to trust?
*From perplexity to peace?

The Apostle Paul offers a pathway:
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God... will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7

May has reminded us that healing begins with honesty, grows through faith, and finds rest in God's peace. Join us as we end our Medicine for Mental Health Awareness Month Series with a message of hope, encouragement, and practical faith for life's overwhelming moments. We stand in hope believing that peace is not the absence of problems. It is the presence of God in the middle of them.

Some battles are VISIBLE.
Some are fought quietly in the MIND.
Some victories never receive applause, but they STILL MATTER.

This Sabbath in our Medicine for Mental Health Awareness Month Series, we are reminded that our identity is not rooted in struggle, fear, or defeat. Through Christ, we are called more than survivors, we are called champions.

Join us as our lead pastor, Dr. Hyveth Williams shares a powerful message:
“We Are the Champions” from Romans 8:16–19

Victory is not pretending life is easy. Victory is knowing whose you are, even in the middle of the fight.

Happy Mother's Day from The Grace Place! 💐💐💐💐

05/04/2026

After a powerful April of learning, reflecting, and growing together, we now enter a new question. Not about others, but about ourselves. Where are you? Not physically but emotionally, mentally, spiritually. In Genesis, when God asked, “Where are you?”
it wasn’t because He didn’t know. It was an invitation.
*An invitation to be honest.
*An invitation to be seen.
*An invitation to begin again.

As we recognize Mental Health Awareness Month, we pause to create space for real conversations, the kind that move beyond appearances and into truth. Join us for a powerful and reflective worship experience:

Medicine for the Mind... When “What If” Meets Jesus
What happens when our fears, our worries, our endless “what ifs” meet the mind of Christ?

This Sabbath, we begin Mental Health Awareness Month with a message of hope, healing, and renewed thinking. When anxious thoughts rise and uncertainty whispers, Scripture reminds us that the mind of Christ brings peace where fear once lived.
Join us for Medicine for the Mind: When “What If” Meets Jesus, a message centered on Philippians 2:5, inviting us to exchange anxious thinking for Christ-centered perspective.

This May, we lean into healing, not ignoring mental struggles, but bringing them honestly before Jesus. Because sometimes the greatest medicine is learning how to think with the mind of Christ.

What If We’re Wrong?... A Message Worth Watching
Sometimes the hardest question to ask ourselves is this:
What if we’re wrong? In this powerful message from our April Diversity Series, we are invited to reflect on Psalm 139:1-5 and consider how God’s deep knowledge of us challenges our assumptions, perspectives, and judgments about others. This message calls us to humility, self-examination, and openness to the truth God reveals about who we are, and how we treat one another.

Through this sermon, you’ll be encouraged to reflect on:
Self-Examination - allowing God to search our hearts and reveal what we may not see

Understanding Others - recognizing that diversity calls us to deeper compassion and humility

God’s All-Knowing Presence - trusting that God knows us fully and still calls us to grow

Honest Reflection - asking the courageous question: What if I need to change?

This is a message that invites growth, healing, and deeper understanding, both personally and collectively.

Take a moment to watch, reflect, and share this message with someone who values truth, growth, and faith-centered dialogue.
April is our month of Diversity, and growth begins when we’re willing to ask honest questions.

"What If We're Wrong?" Dr. Hyveth Williams | The Grace Place

We began April by remembering that we are Different by Design. That every person carries the imprint of the Creator. Now… we take the next step. Not just celebrating differences, but examining our hearts. Because sometimes growth begins with a question:

What if we’re wrong?
Wrong about what we assumed, believed., and how we see one another. The Word of God reminds us: “You have searched me, Lord, and You know me…” Psalm 139:1–5
God knows our thoughts, our assumptions, our blind spots, and when we allow Him to search us, He reshapes how we see others. Join us as the April Diversity Series continues with a powerful message that invites reflection, humility, and deeper understanding.
