Grace Church Eden Prairie

Pastor Troy's sermon centered on our love for dramatic transformation stories and how that same “big reveal” is at the heart of the Gospel. Using Acts 9:1-31, he walked through Saul's conversion, showing that this wasn't a self-improvement story but a radical intervention by the risen Christ—turning a persecutor into a preacher through sheer grace. Referencing 2 Corinthians 5:17, he reminded us that in Christ we are made new: the old is gone, and the new has come. Saul's encounter on the road to Damascus revealed that God's grace is not earned but freely given, opening blind eyes and redefining both identity and purpose. Pastor Troy highlighted four features of grace: it magnifies God's kindness over human goodness, opens spiritually blinded eyes, gives us a new purpose and family, and often makes us a target of opposition. Ultimately, the story ends not just with Saul's transformation but with the church strengthened and multiplied—proof that God's grace brings life, peace, and boldness to His people.

Pastor Troy gave his sermon on Acts 8:26–40 and focused on how evangelism is central to the Christian mission and how the story of Philip the Evangelist and the Ethiopian eunuch shows the gospel breaking barriers. Many believers fear evangelism, but it simply means sharing the good news of Jesus with others, often through everyday conversations and relationships. Philip's obedience to God, attentiveness to one person, and willingness to ask and answer questions demonstrate practical ways Christians can share their faith. The Ethiopian's immediate belief and baptism show the power of Scripture, explained clearly, and the importance of responding to the gospel without delay. The passage also highlights that evangelism is Spirit-led and can reach across cultural, geographic, and personal boundaries. Ultimately, believers are called to grow closer to Christ, so their witness becomes natural and courageous. The sermon challenged listeners to trust God, love the one person in front of them, and actively share the message of Jesus.

Pastor Troy describes how, in Acts 8:9-25, the gospel spreads into Samaria, breaking cultural and spiritual barriers as many believe in Christ and are baptized. Among them is Simon the sorcerer, who appears to respond to the message but is later confronted about the true condition of his heart. When the apostles arrive and the Holy Spirit is given, Simon attempts to buy the power of God, revealing a misunderstanding of grace. Peter rebukes him, making clear that salvation cannot be purchased or manipulated. This passage highlights the difference between outward religious activity and genuine heart transformation. Ultimately, it reminds us that true faith is marked not by appearance or performance, but by repentance and a surrendered relationship with Jesus.

Pastor Troy Dobbs teaches from Acts 8, showing how the early church experienced rapid growth despite intense persecution. Drawing from church history, he explains that the church's expansion was driven by believers' deep conviction in Jesus' resurrection, the empowering work of the Holy Spirit, and, unexpectedly, persecution itself. Rather than silencing the gospel, persecution scattered believers into new places, spreading the message and bringing joy to entire cities, including Samaria. Pastor Troy highlights how God sovereignly uses suffering to advance His mission, honor faithful witnesses like Stephen, and even prepare future leaders such as Saul. The sermon emphasizes that ordinary believers, not just apostles, carried the gospel wherever they went. Ultimately, encouraging Christians to remain hopeful, flexible, and vocal, trusting that God turns hardship into victory for His unstoppable mission.

Peter Reid reminds us that walking with Christ isn't about trying harder in our own strength, but about daily appropriating the indwelling life of Jesus already within us. He emphasizes “as you received Christ, so walk in Him,” meaning spiritual growth happens the same way salvation began: through repentance and faith, not self-effort. He describes repentance as a continual change of mind — from focusing only on sinful actions to recognizing the deeper problem of self-reliance — while faith is learning to entrust ourselves to Christ's ability rather than our own. Ultimately, the Christian life is an “exchanged life,” where we take daily steps of dependence on Christ, get back up when we fall, and grow from the inside out.

Pastor Troy breaks down Stephen's delivery of the longest recorded sermon in the New Testament, using Israel's history to show how God has always been pointing His people toward Jesus. Rather than defending himself, Stephen boldly proclaims Christ and exposes how Israel repeatedly resisted God's Word and rejected the Messiah. He reminds his listeners that God is not confined to buildings, rituals, or laws, but is the God of people, working everywhere through history. Even as he is unjustly condemned and stoned, Stephen forgives his enemies and entrusts his life to Jesus. His death becomes the first martyrdom in the church and marks the beginning of a powerful gospel legacy that would continue through others, including Saul, who later becomes Paul. His life shows that true legacy is faithfulness to Jesus, even when it costs everything.

Pastor Troy's message highlights how Stephen — full of the Holy Spirit, grace, and power — was used by God in extraordinary ways, yet quickly became a target of fierce opposition. When Stephen's enemies couldn't defeat his Spirit-filled wisdom, they turned to deception by secretly stirring up accusations, inciting violence, recruiting false witnesses, and twisting his words. He reminds believers that faithful godliness can provoke hostility, but Christians are called to speak with Spirit-given wisdom and keep the bigger picture in mind. Even in unjust moments, God is at work, and our steady, Christlike witness can impact others in ways we may never see.

Pastor Jim Erickson's message highlighted how God grows His church not only through the proclamation of the gospel but through faithful organization, unity, and shared responsibility. As the early church experienced explosive growth in Jerusalem, new challenges emerged. Rather than allowing division or complacency to take root, the apostles addressed the issue directly, prioritizing both the ministry of the Word and compassionate care for those in need. By appointing seven qualified, Spirit-filled leaders to serve, the church adapted to growth while preserving unity and mission. The result was renewed momentum: the Word of God continued to spread, the number of disciples multiplied, and even many priests came to faith. Pastor Jim challenged believers to enter 2026 ready to adapt, protect unity, step into service, and trust that God uses faithful obedience to advance His unstoppable work.

Pastor Sam Houston's message reminded the church that while some entered 2026 easily and others through great difficulty, opposition has always been a reality for followers of Christ. Drawing from Acts 5, he demonstrated that opposition to Christianity has taken many forms throughout history; yet, two truths remain constant: the gospel of Jesus Christ is unstoppable, and God empowers His people to carry out His mission. Even when the apostles were imprisoned, beaten, and threatened, God used an unlikely voice—Gamaliel—to protect them and advance His purposes. Rather than being silenced by suffering, the apostles rejoiced that they were counted worthy to suffer for Jesus' name. Their response revealed a supernatural joy rooted in Christ's death and resurrection. The sermon concluded with a challenge for believers to reject fear and complacency, live boldly for Christ, and trust that nothing can hinder the power of the gospel. That the gospel of Jesus Christ is truly unstoppable.

Pastor Troy's message challenges us to move beyond nominal Christianity and intentionally live out the call to follow Jesus fully. He outlines the seven marks of a healthy disciple — including worship, prayer, service, generosity, biblical obedience, community, and disciple-making—as a spiritual mirror to assess growth, not a checklist to earn God's love. Pastor Troy emphasized that true discipleship flows from loving Christ deeply and relying on His grace, not mere religious activity. The message called believers to recommit to making disciples everywhere and every day, trusting Jesus to reproduce His life in them and through them.

In this Christmas message, Pastor Troy Dobbs unpacks the powerful meaning of Immanuel, “God with us” as revealed in Matthew 1:23. Far from a sentimental holiday phrase, Immanuel is a fear-defeating promise woven throughout Scripture and fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ. God's presence is not reserved for life's biggest moments, but extends into the ordinary, painful, and uncertain spaces of everyday life. Even in seasons of loss, loneliness, and hardship, God promises never to leave or forsake His people. This sermon challenges believers to grow in their awareness of God's constant presence, to trust His Word over their feelings, and to live with confidence rooted in His faithfulness. At Christmas, God didn't merely send a message, He sent His Son to be with us always, to the very end of the age.

Pastor Trop preaches that every person will eventually face hard, life-stopping news that shakes their faith. He explains that the Christmas story doesn't begin with comfort, but with Joseph receiving heartbreaking news that Mary is pregnant—and the child is not his. Matthew 1:18-25 shows how this moment fulfils God's plan, revealing that the child conceived in Mary is from the Holy Spirit and is the promised Immanuel, “God with us.” Joseph's response reveals a righteous heart as he chooses mercy over shame, even while hurting. God speaks to him in a dream, confirming the miraculous conception and commanding him to name the child Jesus, who will save His people from their sins. Joseph immediately obeys, embracing the cultural cost, protecting Mary's purity, and taking Jesus as his legal son. Pastor Trop emphasizes that adversity exposes what's in our hearts, but it is never an excuse for disobedience. Ultimately, Joseph's quiet obedience becomes a model of godly character, reminding us that Christ's birth turns even our hardest news into hope.

Pastor Troy highlights how Matthew begins Jesus' story with a genealogy to show that Christ enters real human history with purpose and promise. He notes that the presence of four unexpected women — Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba — reveals God's gracious heart to welcome the broken, the outsider, and the undeserving into His redemptive plan. Pastor Troy reminds us that Jesus stands at the very center of history and arrives as the ultimate source of rest, forgiveness, and freedom. This Christmas, we are invited to bring our imperfect stories to Him and find the grace and restoration only the Son can provide.

Pastor Troy's message from Acts 5:1–11 tells how Ananias and Sapphira pretended to be fully generous while secretly holding back, leading God to judge their hypocrisy in a dramatic and immediate way. Their deaths brought a deep sense of awe and reverence to the early church, reminding everyone that God cares about honesty, purity, and the condition of the heart, not appearances. Pastor Troy emphasized that while this passage is sobering, it's meant to purify believers, not terrify them, and to call us toward authenticity, integrity, and a worshipful fear that draws us closer to God.

Pastor Troy's Thanksgiving message emphasizes the importance of remembering God's “benefits,” as highlighted in Psalm 103:2, warning that spiritual forgetfulness leads to ingratitude and disobedience. He explains that remembering God's works strengthens trust, fuels gratitude, and anchors believers in their faith. He outlines numerous spiritual benefits of knowing Jesus — summarized through the acrostic THANKSGIVING — including Transformation, Hope, Assurance, Nearness (to God), Knowledge, Salvation, Grace, Identity, Victory, Inheritance, New (mercies), and Glory. Pastor Troy challenges listeners to intentionally combat forgetfulness by taking God's Word seriously and recalling His ongoing faithfulness.

This sermon teaches that God's grace doesn't just save us—it actively shapes every part of our lives. Using Acts 4:32–37, Pastor Juan shows how the early church was transformed by grace into a community marked by supernatural unity, deep love for others, bold gospel witness, and radical generosity. Their shared belief in Jesus created a powerful unity across cultural and social differences, and their new identities in Christ drove them to care for one another sacrificially. Grace also empowered them to proclaim the resurrection with courage, letting their transformed lives become their testimony. Ultimately, the passage calls believers today to examine how God's grace is shaping their unity, their stewardship, their boldness, and their everyday identity. The grace that saves us is also meant to reshape us into people who reflect Jesus to the world.

Pastor Troy Dobbs contrasts theory and reality, demonstrating that while many Christians view persecution as theoretical, the early church and many believers today experience it as a daily reality. In Acts 4:23–31, after being threatened, the disciples responded by praying not for safety, but for boldness to keep proclaiming Jesus. Their prayer began with recognizing God's sovereignty, was rooted in Scripture, and reflected deep confidence in His control over all things. God answered by shaking the place where they prayed and filling them with the Holy Spirit, strengthening them to speak with courage. The message reminds us that God's sovereignty means nothing is random or beyond His power, even in the midst of suffering. Because of this, we can rest in His control and, like the early church, pray for strength and courage rather than comfort and ease.

Pastor Troy Dobbs discusses how the Holy Spirit inspires boldness in believers. Drawing attention to the fact that because John and Peter were in close proximity to and believed in Jesus, they had the Holy Spirit within them. Pastor Troy Dobbs also encourages believers to reflect on what contributes to their silence when it comes to sharing their faith and the gospel with others. He encourages them to spend time with the Lord so they, too, can speak with boldness.

Pastor Steve Harrison's message for ENGAGE Sunday reminded us that nothing can stop the power of Jesus' name. He walked us through Acts 4, where Peter and John boldly preached about Jesus' resurrection even after being arrested — and how the Holy Spirit gave them the courage to stand strong. Pastor Steve encouraged us to expect challenges when we live out our faith, but to keep trusting that God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things. At the heart of it all, he reminded us that Jesus is our cornerstone — there's no other name that saves, and He's worth sharing with the whole world.

Pastor Troy's sermon compares binge-watching long TV series to the unfolding story of the early church in Acts, both draw people in through growth, depth, and development. He highlights how Peter healed a lame man not by his own power but through Jesus' name, showing that miracles exist to point people to Christ, not to glorify humans. Peter's message to the amazed crowd centers on three truths: Jesus' glory, humanity's sin, and the call to repent. He boldly declares Jesus as the promised Messiah, the Holy and Righteous One whom the people rejected and crucified, yet whom God raised from the dead. Though the crowd was guilty, Peter offers hope: if they repent, their sins will be wiped away, and they will experience spiritual refreshing. Pastor Troy concludes that ignorance won't excuse unbelief; God has revealed Himself through creation, Scripture, and Christ, and the only right response is to repent, believe, and be renewed by Jesus.

Pastor Troy Dobbs discusses the story of the beggar at the front of the temple who was miraculously healed when Peter the apostle spoke the name of Jesus Christ over him. Even though the beggar had no faith, God used Peter's faith to showcase His incredible power. Pastor Troy Dobbs also cautions Christians against various false gospels, such as the prosperity gospel and the word of faith movement.
