Jesus told parables as a means of teaching spiritual truths. A parable, though a simple story reveals Kingdom truths. The Parable of the Sower is a key to understanding all of Jesus' parables. This is a teaching on understanding this KEY parable. 

Frank Glaspey sharing a message with the Grace congregation about the role the church in our culture (society) today. We cannot be salt and light if we only sit back and watch.

Brokenness is a very valuable commodity in the Kingdom. The sacrifice that God is looking for is a broken and contrite heart (Psalm51:17). Our brokenness is what positions us to be dependent upon God. Our brokenness is what allows God to use us.  

The garden that we are each responsible to steward is our own heart. We alone are the one who chooses what we allow to grow in that garden. We need to sow the good seed of God's Word into our own hearts and pull any weeds that are growing. If we don't, the weeds will choke out the good seed of God's Word (Mark 4:19).  

This is the last in the series on the Father's Love. This message focuses on John 15 and learning to abide in Christ. It's out of abiding in Christ that we are launched into seasons of fruitfulness.

There are two kinds of knowledge. The first is sense knowledge that comes to us through our five physical senses. The second is revelation knowledge that comes to us from God. The Bible gives us revelation knowledge. This is a message about how LOGOS becomes RHEMA in our life. 

In Luke 15, Jesus illustrates through three different stories, just how valuable lost people are to God. The last story also illustrates how the orphan mindset can be expressed through rebellion (the prodigal son) but also through religion (the elder brother). God wants to free us by experiencing His love, from orphan thinking and orphan living. 

This message focuses on where the Father's love will take us. It is designed to take us into our identity and the Spirit-filled life. Which chair are you sitting in? The chair of a son or the chair of a servant. The chair of performance or the chair of faith.

Experiencing the Father's Love is the answer to so many things. This message is about breaking away from responding to life from an orphan mindset by experiencing the Father's Love. The Father loves us and wants us to experience His love. 

To fully appreciate what Jesus did for us, we must understand what was lost in the fall. Jesus, the last Adam came to restore what the first Adam lost. Jesus came to restore us back into sonship. It's in experiencing Father's love that we are fully restored. 

We had the privilege of having Tracy Evans with us this Sunday. It was a great time of realizing that God will use anyone who makes themself available to Him. God's plan and dream for our life is bigger than our and it is so much better. This was a great message of encouragement.  

The type of father we grew up with can impact how we look at our Heavenly Father. It can be the lens that we look at God through. This is a message about how to break out of that and begin to see God the Father as He really is.

Jesus introduced God Almighty as FATHER. Jesus came to bring us into a Father/Son relationship with God. The last Adam came to restore what the first Adam lost. God created man so that He could have a family. This message is about responding to God's desire to father us.  

As believers, our foundation must be the Word of God. It is the source of truth. We must build our lives on the truth of God's Word. The truth about anything is what God says about it. Facts and Truth may disagree, but ultimately the Truth will prevail. Jesus said, "Heaven and earth will pass away but My Words abide forever." 

Jesus came to restore back our sonship with the Father. He said, "No one come to the Father, except through me." It's as we experience the Father's Love that the orphan mindset is broken off of our lives. It's one thing to know that the Father loves you, but it's another thing to experience that love. God desires that we experience His love in our lives. 

This service begins with a word from God about what He is about to do and how to not miss it. A couple people shared SOAPs (Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer).
