Grace and Peace 101
These sermons capture the core theology of Grace and Peace.
What is the gospel?
“The Gospel” is a word that is often heard in churches which means the “good news” about Jesus, but often it goes undefined. What exactly is the Gospel? Why is the news good? In this series we look at how the Bible defines “The Gospel”.
Genesis 1-11: Reimagine your world
The Bible is the story of God’s redemption of humanity, a story in which we have a part to play. In order for us to understand the story and our part in it, then we need to go back to the beginning.
ACTS | What Now?
Revisiting our history to restore and renew our current purpose.
Sermon Big Picture: Jesus isn’t done - he’s still at work; work with Jesus!
“There is one who is to come….”: The Messiah Through The Eyes Of The Last Prophet.
All four Gospels begin the ministry of Jesus with the witness of John the Baptist. Partly, because when the Gospels were written John was widely acknowledged as a prophet. But, even more so John models for us how we should understand and respond to the coming of the savior.
1 Corinthians: Undivide The Church
Division in the church is nothing new, but for the body of Christ in America we face a time of severe division when brothers and sisters in Christ refuse to recognize one another as part of the same family. Political affiliations, doctrinal distinctive, race, the social media influencers one follow are all occasion for siblings in Christ to disown one another. What can be done to combat the fissuring of the body of Christ? In Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians he addresses a church facing the same sorts of bitter divisions that we face today. It is a timely word for a church tearing itself to pieces.
Luke: Right side up in an upside down world
What if the world were upside down? What if its entire system of values, goodness, honor, and success were upside down? What would happen if someone who was right side up entered into it? The Gospel of Luke tells the story of what happened when Jesus came to the upside down world to turn it right side up and it invites us to join him.
Hebrews: What makes commitment to Jesus worth it?
Why should I continue to follow Jesus when the cost becomes greater than the benefit? This is a fundamental question that everyone who follows Jesus or is considering following Jesus must answer.
If we are following Jesus to get social acceptance, what will we do when it is not socially acceptable to follow Jesus? If we are following Jesus to help our career, what will we do when following Jesus is limiting our career options? If we are following Jesus because we want him to guarantee the American dream of affluence and personal peace, what will we do when we discover that real Christianity may make us poor and has meant that for many Christians around the world they are exposed to persecution and marginalization?
The writer of Hebrews is delivering a message to ancient Christians who are having to answer this exact question and many of them are tempted to abandon Jesus because the cost has become too great. Today Christians in the US and around the world face the same question; if commitment to Jesus could cost me everything, what makes commitment to Jesus worth it?
Exodus: Out of Bondage, Into Promise
Freedom is a powerful word, but few of us experience it. Humans all over the world live our lives in societal, poitical, and spiritual bondage. Exodus is the thrilling story of how God delivered slaves out of bondage and made them the treasured people of his promise.
Why Did Jesus Have To Live?
An Advent sermon series.
Jesus Revealed: The Gospel of John
Who was Jesus? What happened during his life? What did he really say and teach? And what happened after his execution that would make people proclaim that not only had he returned from death, but that by believing in him we too could have eternal life? What would make the eyewitnesses to these events willing to endure suffering, persecution, torture and death to proclaim that he had risen?
Grace and Peace church will explore the account of John, one of Jesus' disciples, who had a front row seat to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
Galatians: DNA of the New Creation
Paul writes the Letter to the Galatians to share the amazing and freeing truth with the churches at Galatia that the free grace and forgiveness of God in Jesus is not only how we begin our relationship with God but it is how we advance in it as well...
