Cullan, Shawn, Kristi and Luara dive verse by verse into Matthew chapter 6:8-18The Lord's Prayer, Unforgiveness, and Fasting
2 Corinthians 1:1-2 - Speaker: Lukus Counterman - Welcome to our new expository series through the book of 2 Corinthians! For the next two semesters we are going to look at Paul's most personal epistle. It's a letter that highlights different expressions of gospel paradox. Paul will talk about life through death, wealth in poverty, comfort in affliction, and strength in weakness. In Jesus' upside-down kingdom things don't always play out the way we'd expect. May the Lord lead us and grow us through our study of 2 Corinthians.

2025-09-07 Who Is The King of Glory?by Pastor Chris BergScripture Reference: Micah 5:1-65 Now muster your troops, O daughter of troops; siege is laid against us;with a rod they strike the judge of Israel on the cheek.2 But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are too little to be among the clans of Judah,from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel,whose coming forth is from of old, from ancient days.3 Therefore he shall give them up until the time when she who is in labor has given birth;then the rest of his brothers shall return to the people of Israel.4 And he shall stand and shepherd his flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.And they shall dwell secure, for now he shall be great to the ends of the earth.5 And he shall be their peace.When the Assyrian comes into our land and treads in our palaces,then we will raise against him seven shepherds and eight princes of men;6 they shall shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod at its entrances;and he shall deliver us from the Assyrian when he comes into our land and treads within our border.

Psalm 1 - Speaker: Josh Lankford - You thought we were done with the Psalms, didn't you? Nope! Here we are again, finding ourselves under the counsel of the Psalms as we walk with God as a church. Someone once said that Psalm 1 is "the main entrance to the mansion of the Psalter," and that's a pretty good description. It's a Psalm about living God's way and becoming the type of people God wants us to be–people who love God's instruction and leave their sinful ways behind. We emphasize God's Word so much at Gospel Grace, and this passage is one of many that have shaped our love for God's truth. Come this Sunday (and bring a friend again) to hear about the beauty of following God's way and the reward of loving his Word!

2025-08-31 Who is the King of Glory?by Pastor Chris BergScripture: Micah 5:1-61 Marshal your troops now, city of troops, for a siege is laid against us.They will strike Israel's ruler on the cheek with a rod.2 “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah,out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel,whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.”3 Therefore Israel will be abandoned until the time when she who is in labor bears a son,and the rest of his brothers return to join the Israelites.4 He will stand and shepherd his flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.And they will live securely, for then his greatness will reach to the ends of the earth.5 And he will be our peace when the Assyrians invade our land and march through our fortresses. We will raise against them seven shepherds, even eight commanders, 6 who will rule the land of Assyria with the sword, the land of Nimrod with drawn sword. He will deliver us from the Assyrians when they invade our land and march across our borders.Mandeville Bible Church "Where God's Word is Our Foundation"https://www.mandevillebiblechurch.org/Come and see that God's Word is alive and at work right here in Mandeville.. and throughout the world!All are welcome. 217 Carroll Street, Mandeville, LA 70448(985) 626-3114Sunday Service: 9:30AMAdult Sunday School: 10:45-11:30AMNursery and Children's church available.
Hebrews 2:5-9 - Speaker: Lukus Counterman - The book of Hebrews builds a case for why Jesus is better. In the opening chapters the author explains how Jesus is better than angels. And one of the reasons why is because Jesus (not some heavenly messenger) tasted death for everyone by suffering on the cross. Now, he didn't offer himself as a substitute for people because of their merit or worth. He didn't die just for those who were good or moral (as if anyone could claim to be that). Instead, the text says that “by the grace of God” he died in the place of sinners. It was God's unmerited favor, his grace, that motivated such an amazing sacrifice. Jesus is truly better. So may we hold fast to him.

Cullan, Matt, Justin and "Other Justin" dive verse by verse into chapter 5:27-31Oaths
- Speaker: Will Galkin - What is the Gospel? People have all sorts of answers to that question. Some say it's how God keeps people out of hell. Others think it has something to do with Jesus dying. Still others define it in social terms, something about helping the oppressed or fixing what's broken in the world. And then some treat it like a moral example: “Because of Jesus, I should try to be a better person.” But when the Bible talks about the gospel, it calls it good news. That's what the word means. Romans 1:16 tells us it's not just news, it's the power of God for salvation. The clearest summary of the gospel is found in 1 Corinthians 15:3-4: Christ died for our sins, He was buried, and He rose again on the third day. To really understand why that's good news, you need the whole story. In Romans 1 through 4, the Apostle Paul lays it out. The gospel is the good news that a holy God has made a way for sinful people to be forgiven and restored to Him through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
