Grace Presbyterian Church - Sermons

Christianity is not a religion in the traditional sense as it is not a religion of rules but rather a relationship at rest. And yet, Christians have a hard time simply resting in the finished work of Christ. We tend to be saved by grace but live by...

Easter is an umbrella of hope from heaven under which we may come and find protection and relief, in this life, and yes, also in the life to come.

Palm Sunday was never intended to be a sentimental affair. Jesus' final entry into Jerusalem was like a flash-bang grenade going off in the city. In this passage from Luke's gospel we read of Jesus' welcome, weeping and washing.

In this passage the Apostle Paul addresses three great longings of humanity. Our longing for control, for fullness and for triumph. And he shows us how, in Christ, God makes us alive. And when we are alive in Christ, he brings his perfect control and...

What is the most frequent command in the Bible? Fear not! In this time of anxiety and concern over the spreading COVID-19 coronavirus, the Lord Jesus Christ commands us – “Fear not!” And in his time of teaching, he explains what our heavenly father...

Jesus calls his friends to follow him to the cross. But when Jesus calls his disciples to die, as challenging, scary, as counter-intuitive as that is, he is ultimately calling them to truly live. Follow me to the cross, he says, and flourish!

There is something about life on earth that makes it so that even when we are satisfied, we are not really satisfied. We long for more and more. In this sermon text, Paul helps us to see how God has made us for ultimate satisfaction and joy in Christ.

God has fulfilled Moses' longing to have all people filled with God's spirit through the work of Christ. Now we have the spirit of God. This fact means that we have everything we need to bless people and society. When we take steps of faith...

Doubts are a normal part of being human. What’s important isn’t that we have doubts, but where we go with our doubts. In this passage, Paul helps us to see that riches of full assurance for our doubts are found in the treasure of Christ.

Christians have a calling to be stewards, and not just of our finances. We have been entrusted to steward the richest of treasures – the gospel.

How will you endure the 'grind' of life? You may try to assert self-confidence ("I got this!"), or seek temporary relief in worldly pleasures, but in Psalm 23 we're given the assurance that in all circumstances the Lord will...

Christians are prone to drifting from the central hope of the gospel. Which is why it is important to hold fast to the truth of what we once were apart from Christ – alienated from God, and who we now are in Christ – reconciled children of God.

Sometimes events in life shake us to our knees, like an earthquake, and leave us in a state of panic and anxiety. In this passage, Paul lifts our eyes to see the supremacy of Christ over all things. And because of the supremacy of Christ, we can rest...

It is part of our human nature to take the simple and add to it unnecessary complexity. With regards to the simple gospel truth of Christianity, adding to the gospel hinders our walk with God. In this opening section of Colossians, Paul helps us to...

In the Book of Acts chapters two and four, Luke hangs a family portrait of what the genuine faith of our first brothers and sisters in Christ looked like. From this portrait we too can see for ourselves who Jesus is calling us to be as his body, the...
