Grace Presbyterian Church - Sermons

Over and over in this passage there is a common refrain: Come and see! Come and see Jesus, meet him personally. And hear Jesus’ call to come and stay, abide with me. In this passage we see that discipleship begins with invitation, grows through...

Who is John the Baptist? Why was he baptizing? And more importantly, who is this Lamb of God? And how are people to respond?

John begins his gospel not with shepherds and angels nor mangers and magi. He begins in heaven before the world was created so that he could silence us with the beautiful scandal of the gospel – the Word became flesh; God who dwells in inaccessible...

One of the most amazing and captivating biblical truths is that Christ has set his people free. Yes, free from sin and death and the devil, but also he sets us free from slavery to the law. Which means we have been set free from earning God’s favor...

Short term mission trips are a popular way for Christians to go out and be the hands and feet of God to others in need. But what if the real beneficiary of mission is not who we traditionally think it is? After all, when God sent Jonah to preach to...

We all experience times where we look upon others with envy or become frustrated when things do not go our way. We also all deal with varying levels of “injustice” from time to time. It can become easy to lose our composure in these moments. But the...

Whether we are professing Christians or not sure what we believe, or don't believe in God at all, we actually suffer from the same problem: Unbelief. This week we will discover what unbelief is, why we all struggle with it and where we look for help.

We all face trouble. Why should we cry out to God? What hope does it give? This Psalm offers great hope in Jesus - an invitation to trust him in times of distress.

The Christian Life is a vigorous battle that every believer in Jesus must enter into on this side of eternity and yet as Christians we often feel weak and defeated. This sermon will teach us the need for, the source of and the paradox of strength in...

God uses earthly circumstances as tools in his hands to shape you into a disciple of the Lord Jesus and to build up your faith. One of those tools is persecution.

Life is so full of setbacks and disappointments that we often think all we do gets us nowhere. Add to this our tendency to center our lives upon ourselves; our successes and self-centered achievements. To this Paul says that because of the victory of...

Christians have a tendency to live as though peace with God depends upon us. Have a good day and God is happy with you. Have a bad day and God stiff-arms you. But this verse teaches something far different and amazing. We already have peace with God...

We tend to want Jesus on our terms. We want him to follow us where we want to go. But Jesus call his disciples to follow him with such devotion that we renounce all things and give him total allegiance as the Divine King of Kings.

The gospel doesn’t just offer forgiveness from sin; it provides for something far greater – adoption into God’s beloved family. And as dearly loved children, the Christian life is simply a call to imitate our Heavenly Father.

The condition we regularly face as Christians is that though we’ve been set free in Christ, we still live as though we are bound by our old sinful self. Here Paul declares that our past no longer defines us, because God has made us to be new creations...

When life feels uncertain, where do you turn? Romans 8:28–30 gives us a rich and unshakable assurance in God’s sovereign plan—a plan that begins in His love, secures our future, and works all things together for our good.

Given the state of our world- deep political divisions, impact of social media and ideological echo chambers- we understandably wonder: is reconciliation even possible anymore? The Ephesian church also knew about division, hostility and navigating the...
