When terrorists torture their victims, they have one primary goal. Remove hope. The Bible fills the Christian with hope and nothing gives hope better than our promised resurrection from the death and the certainty of the second coming of Jesus Christ. We will unpack the truth of this hope from 1 Thess. 4:13-18 this Sunday here at Grace. I believe the Holy Spirit will be with us doing a great work of hope. Watch at: https://youtu.be/W65rfoU--6U
Why should I actually care about the Lords return? If Christ is coming back, hell come back. Whats the big deal? I think these are fare questions and I intend to answer them. In preparing our hearts for 1 Thess 4:13-18, we are going to pause our study of 1 Thess 4 to study Gods Word together to answer these rather germane questions.Watch at: https://youtu.be/Ola_H5spP4E

In a culture saturated with messages about sex, the Bible has much to say about God's good design for our sexuality. While many churches shy away from this topic, we believe it is important to address it with both biblical truth and grace. Over the next two Sundays (July 12 & 19), Pastor Don will be teaching on this subject in a thoughtful and biblical way. Nursery and Grace Kids will be available during the message. Parents are encouraged to use their own discretion regarding whether their children should attend the service. This material has previously been presented to junior high students

When we think of discipline and correction, we often think of it as something to avoid! Receiving correction when in sin is often painful and it is tempting to hide in shame or lash out in defense. You are invited this Sunday to behold the loving correction of God and to experience the restoration that his discipline brings. Watch at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQeZi-HSqFI
Do you sometimes feel like obedience to God is a dry duty? Paul puts Gods word in a framework that will reset the way we view obedience in the Christian life. It will change the way you look at Gods commandments and obedience toward him. It will give you a joy and a delight in those things.Watch at: https://youtu.be/6pS9N8fLQPc
When we think of Abraham, David, or Paul, it's easy to place them on a pedestal as giants of the faith. But before they were biblical heroes, they were ordinary men: fathers, mentors, sinners, and servants of God. Their lives remind us that God doesn't use perfect people to shape the next generation; He uses faithful people who seek to follow Him, the Perfect Father, and are willing to pass on what He has taught them.Watch at: https://youtu.be/1ZNl37fMuHQ
Part 11 - As His people pray, God does amazing things by His Holy Spirit in a local church. That is happening in Grace Community right now. God is freeing us to approach godliness in a new way. Rather than trying harder, we intend to walk a different path trusting the Lord to help us learn contentment. What is contentment? How do we learn it? Join us this Sunday as we unpack the biblical truth of contentment.

Part 10 - Many, many Christians with whom I visit have concluded that the Christian faith is a try harder experience. And frankly, they are exhausted spiritually trying to measure up. In a few weeks, I will tackle some heavy life-change verses in 1 Thess. 4. We are going to try and better prepare for these messages through two preliminary messages that focus on Trying Different rather than Trying Harder. I am praying this will be life-changing for you. Bring a friend and join us this Sunday at Grace as we meet God together to worship Him and experience His Life Transforming Power! You wont wan
Part 9 - When trials and opposition come your way as a Christian, will you still say that ministry is worth it? Yes, ministry is hard; yet, the blessing of witnessing transformed lives and seeing God at work is worth it!Watch at: https://youtu.be/xr_dz_ryR5A
Part 8 - I say this with a bit of trembling. Gods Holy Spirit is doing a special work at Grace! You are praying and I thank you so much. I sense His presence and His work in our lives.. And yet, all who come to Grace are tried and tested in many ways. This Sunday we will see how the acid test of your faith strengthens you and give passion for advancing the Gospel to people who need the Lord. Join us this Sunday as we watch God work through music, His Word and the fellowship of The Lords Supper. I am praying for you. Come join us this Sunday. You are dearly loved, Pastor DonWatch at: https://yo
Part 7 - When it comes to sharing your faith, many people are intimidated. Fear says, No! even as the Lord might be saying, Yes! Share with them. The people in the Bible needed to be equipped and encouraged for sharing with others about Jesus. So do we! Join us this Sunday as we unpack 1 Thess. 2:1-12 as together we learn how to Share Christ as a Servant of Christ. You might be thinking you are disqualified to share Christ as you read these words. Think again! God is doing a great work at Grace! We are expecting Him to show up and change our lives. Join us this Sunday as we watch Him do just t
Mother's Day 2026 - I find it fascinating that there are times when God is describing what he is like and he really wants us to get it, so he compares himself to.a mother. This Sunday we will celebrate Mothers Day. No matter what might be your joys or pains associated with Mothers Day, please come and let the Lord minister to your heart as you learn a little more about what God is really like. You will find he is an incredible God! Pray with great expectation to see what Gods Word and Holy Spirit will do at Grace this Sunday. Come join us! You are dearly loved, Pastor DonWatch at: https://yout
Part 6 - When I was a kid, I remember watching my dad very close and tried to imitate him. We have children and friends who are watching us closely and imitating us right now. As people watch our lives, we are called to model the saving Gospel at work in our lives. How can we do that? This will be our focus this Sunday from 1 Thess. 1:6-10. Pray with great expectation to see what Gods Word and Holy Spirit will do at Grace this Sunday. Come join us! You are dearly loved, Pastor DonWatch at: https://youtu.be/f2BmGIK76Ew
