Grace Christian Church Sermons

Good morning... This mornings Sunday service is the challenge for us, as parents, leaders, & the people of God to grow from 'milk' to 'solid food' --- may we heed this charge this morning for the glory of God. to watch the whole service just click the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFubMEZEW-U&t=50s

Interspersed among the images of Jesus' Better-ness we have these challenges, exhortations, instructions & warnings. One such example is to be on guard against the perils of a hardened heart. What causes the heart to harden? How can it be dealt with? What softens such hardness to the things of God? Prayerfully there might be a small encouragement for you as you listen to the Word from Hebrews 3 and, prayerfully, find some encouragement in the Lord. to watch the whole service just click the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HYkzno3zO0&t=5s

Continuing with our journey through Hebrews, we look at several ways Jesus expresses His 'Better-ness' than the traditions, rituals, & activities the Old Covenant presented. In the revelation of such truth, I pray we might be challenged to embrace the beauty of Jesus who is far superior to what this world offers. to watch the whole service just click the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8h1Bb8RfcWQ&t=2944s

After being challenged by Brad last week to "take Jesus' teaching seriously" we go back to the book of Hebrews and look at WHY we have too. Jesus is already better than the prophets; we read how Jesus is better than the angels. Today we examine how Jesus is better than Moses. Moses, a faithful servant, the leader of Israel from slavery, the receiver of the Law of God. And as great as this man was, Jesus is far BETTER in every way. to watch the whole service just click the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCfugHUJghE&t=25s

We start a series look at the 'better-ness' of Jesus - given that we are easily drawn back to what 'was' instead of embracing what 'is' in Christ.

From the upper room where the most beautiful of examples is manifest in the Lord Jesus washing the disciple's feet. Then the most beautiful of instructions as Jesus comforted them as “the Way, the Truth, & the Life...” He now leads them from the city to the Mount of Olives where the garden ‘Gethsemane' is located and on the way paints a picture of the Lord Jesus & His disciples through an image of a vine and branches.

When things are coming to an end, whether a summer holiday where you have created new friendships; moving to another state or country where you leave behind family & friends you've known for decades; or sitting in the presence of a loved one who is approaching the end of this earthly life… I have noticed the attentiveness, the appreciation, and the valuing of that specific time with them… moments to cherish, and embrace --- because you KNOW that you may never see them again. We have entered into the final week of Jesus' ministry… a ministry where, for three years He has taught, shared, invested into, and walked alongside these 12 Disciples and now, retreated into an upper room He disciples them by example, as well as by word… let's look at this example together. to watch the whole service just click the link: https://www.youtube.com/@GraceChristianChurchCastleHill

We've been plodding along through John's gospel for the purpose of seeing Jesus presented in the fullness of His beauty, mercy, uncompromising holiness & steadfast faithfulness to His Fathers will.   This last week of Jesus' ministry begins with His anointing at Bethany (vs.1-11) while the religious leaders conspire for His death AND the death of Lazarus. This is followed by the triumphant entry into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey's colt (vs.12-19). “HOSANNA” they cry as the people gather laying palm upon the ground as Jesus enters in a manner fulfilling scripture (v.15 c.f. Zec 9:9).   And it is in this third section of this chapter we look at Jesus' beauty. to watch the whole service just click the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovibBsEeJy8

It is this passage that looks at how Jesus brings life when all that can be seen is death.

In Jn 10 we have the familiar passage of Jesus being our Good Shepherd. In this message we examine what that means and what it looks like for us in the 21st Century.

The addressing of the blind mans ailment, and limited view of the religious.

We look at the familiar dialogue between the woman caught in adultery and the Lord Jesus. His compassion, His mercy, His wisdom and His grace all manifest in a way that aligns with His holy nature.

John 7 is a chapter of ‘real life' actions and ‘real life' interactions that describe the attitude of society. This is manifest in the questions asked and the statements made about the Lord Jesus, thus, “how do you see Jesus?” is valid & necessary question to ask.

David North from Ambassadors & Power to Change comes and shares the key to living in the Spirit.

Capernwray Australia run the service today and one of their students from Germany shares the Word with us.

Today's account shows the heart of God that reaches out to those in need, as well as meet them where they're at. It is of note how we, as people, will go to the furthest of lengths to enforce OUR laws, OUR standards, & OUR righteousness' over the very heart of God and end up ‘overlooking' or even ‘dismissing' the work of grace that has impacted a persons heart.   Now it is in the addressing of religious legalist's that Jesus shares some truths, from which, we can glean some ‘keys' to unlock the knowledge of God's will in our lives.

Bob Mendelshon from Jews for Jesus Australia joins us to share some amazing realities from John 4... the encounter that Jesus has with the woman of Samaria.

What many of us lack as Christians today… the knowledge of God's plans; my role in connection with His plans; & my obedience to His instruction to fulfill those plans. Things John reveals in his response to their concerns… This is what makes John the Baptist such an interesting person to look into. Join us as we examine the heart of the Baptist and his connection with Jesus.

In the letter to the ‘diaspora' church Peter writes ...the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God... (1 Pt 4:17a kjv).   And the Lord Jesus expresses such judgement in today's text as He speaks to the seriousness, the importance, & the priority He places upon that which His Father designed & created for His own glory… His house
