Hi friends, Does it feel like you're forever sorting, scrubbing, and shuffling stuff—yet your home never looks any closer to “done”? In this candid conversation, bestselling author and No‑Mess Decluttering Method creator Dana K. White shares how God used the “thorn” of her perpetually messy house to spark a spiritual transformation—one that now helps thousands move from overwhelm to a truly functional home. Inside the episode you'll discover: The freedom of “functional, not finished.” Why the Proverbs 31 woman isn't a perfection checklist—and neither is your house. Breaking the shame cycle. How to ditch guilt, embrace how God wired your brain, and start where you are. Faith in the middle of the mess. What Scripture really says about clutter, and how your untidy testimony can point others to Jesus. Whether you're waiting for God to “fix” your mess or wondering if order will ever stick, Dana's story proves progress beats perfection—and your heart matters more than spotless countertops.

Church Life “Persevering Gospel Grace” (Acts 14:1-7)In Truth (v. 1)In Testing (vv. 2-4) Jo. 15:18-19,20c 18 “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 ..... If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.Ro. 8:7 For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. Jer. 29:5-7 5 Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce. 6 Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not decrease. 7 But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.2 Cor. 12:12 The signs of a true apostle were performed among you with utmost patience, with signs and wonders and mighty works.1 Cor. 2:4-5 4 and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men[a] but in the power of God.Lu. 12:51-53 51 Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. 52 For from now on in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”Phil. 1:12,14-15,18 12 I want you to know, brothers,[e] that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel,... 14 And most of the brothers, having become confident in the Lord by my imprisonment, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. 15 Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will..... 18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice.In Trials (vv. 5-7)Jo. 16:33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”2 Tim. 3:12 Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,Mt. 5:11-12 11 “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.1 Pet. 4:12-13 12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 But rejoice insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.
Some of the evidence following the preaching of the gospel of the grace of God.
Church Life “Resurrection Grace” (Acts 13:26-41)The Why of Gospel Grace (vv.26-27)Jo. 1:1-3,14 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. ... 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son[d] from the Father, full of grace and truth.The Heart of Gospel Grace (vv. 28-33)1 Cor. 15:3-4 3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, 1 Cor. 15:5-8 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 8 Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. Psa. 2:1-2c, 10-12 Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against his Anointed, .... 10 Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth. 11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. 12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in him. The Future of Gospel Grace (vv. 34-37)1 Cor. 15:20-22,35 20 But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. .. 35 But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?” - The hope of glory 1 Cor. 15:53-55,57 53 For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality. 54 When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” 55 “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?”57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. The Gift of Gospel Grace (vv. 38-41)1 Cor. 15:56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.1 attachment

In this heartfelt sermon, Greg Marutzky discusses the theme of 'Gospel Grace,' emphasizing the profound and transformative power of Jesus' grace as demonstrated in the story of the crucified thief. Greg hits on the importance of embracing God's grace, both intellectually and emotionally. Using personal stories, biblical recounts, and reflective poetry, Greg underscores that grace is an unearned gift that requires humility and acceptance. He also critiques historical fluctuations in the understanding of grace, urging the need to balance theology with the personal experience of God's mercy and goodness. Through the poignant tale of the repentant thief on the cross who asked Jesus to 'remember me,' Greg illustrates that even in our most undeserving moments, grace can change our lives.00:00 Opening Remarks and Personal Anecdotes00:57 The Importance of Eye Contact01:32 Preaching Style and Audience Engagement02:15 Introduction to Gospel Grace05:26 The Power of Three Words06:21 Personal Story: Meeting Kathy07:48 The Importance of Apologies09:34 The Crucified Crook: A Lesson in Humility12:42 Reflecting on God's Tender Care14:37 Analyzing the Crucifixion Story16:48 Marriage Counseling and Divine Deals17:11 The Repentant Thief's Story21:42 Personal Reflections and Connections29:22 Understanding Grace Through History34:53 Grace Gives You Wings
Church Life “Gospel Grace and the New Covenant, Pt. 2” (Acts 10:24-43)A Divine Appointment (vv. 24-33) Eph. 2:14-16,19 14 For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility 15 by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, 16 and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility... 19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, A Unifying Message (vv. 34-35)Ro.10:12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him.Gal. 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.A Gospel Testimony (vv. 36-43) - Historical apologetic (vv. 36-38)- Historical Eye-Witness Accounts (39-41)1 Jo. 1:1-4 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the word of life— 2 the life was made manifest, and we have seen it, and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was made manifest to us— 3 that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. 4 And we are writing these things so that our[a] joy may be complete.Lu. 24:45-48 45 Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, 46 and said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, 47 and that repentance for[c] the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things.
The word "trinity" should bring to mind thoughts of God's utterly unique trinitarian glory and goodness, which we experience as the gospel of God (the Trinity) applied to Christian living in union and communion with God (the Trinity). In this first of three sessions on "Communion with Our Triune God," Pastor Zachary Groff covered the biblical "Grammar of Our Triune God" (which is the grammar of the gospel of God) and the "Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ."
Every year we make new years resolutions, and every year most of us are still the same disorganized, financially stressed, short tempered, distracted and generally sedentary people we were the year before. Why? Well, for starters, most of us have a desire to make ourselves better because we know we aren't quite right. There's something in us that's telling us to be something better than we are. The problem is, we're striving after the wrong thing. And not only that, all that striving will never truly make is as satisfied as we hope. Because those self improvements, while certainly good improvements, are completely focused on making ourselves perfect instead of resting in the righteousness that has been given to us by God's grace. Yes, tighten up your finances and your abs, but don't let that be your ultimate goal in life. Join us as Pastor Mark takes us through a short but powerful verse in Romans 1:16-17.
Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Nothing more to be done.

Elders Scott Culbreth and Jim McLaughlin take time to examine the biblical principle of giving, focusing on financial giving but with a view toward giving as a response to the gospel.
God uses the gospel to give us grace to make Christ to center of our marriages, not ourselves.

Titus 3:1-7 describes how believers at to glorify God in an ungodly world. We are to be submissive to the government and kind to all men (1-2). Verses 3-7 answer the question of why? Titus 3:3-7 answers this question - Why should I treat unbelievers in the way verses 1-2 describe? Paul gives us two Gospel realities to remember: Remember that you were just like them (3) - They are sinners Remember that you are saved by grace (4-7) - They need the Gospel
Church Life “The Message of a Miracle” Acts 3:17-26 Gospel Guilt (vv.17-23) Amos 9:14-15 14 I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel, and they shall rebuild the ruined cities and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and drink their wine, and they shall make gardens and eat their fruit. 15 I will plant them on their land, and they shall never again be uprooted out of the land that I have given them,” says the Lord your God. Zec. 14:4, 6-7, 9,16 On that day his feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives that lies before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall be split in two from east to west by a very wide valley.. 6 On that day there shall be no light, cold, or frost. 7 And there shall be a unique day, which is known to the Lord, neither day nor night, but at evening time there shall be light….9 And the Lord will be king over all the earth. On that day the Lord will be one and his name one. 16 Then everyone who survives of all the nations that have come against Jerusalem shall go up year after year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Booths. Isa. 65:20 No more shall there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, or an old man who does not fill out his days, for the young man shall die a hundred years old, and the sinner a hundred years old shall be accursed. Matt. 24:30,36, 44 30 Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory…36 “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only…. 44 Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. Gospel Grace (vv.24-26) Gen. 12:3 I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

Ecclesiastes 4:4-12 - Speaker: Jon Kopp - This week, we will discuss the rhythm “grow in community.” Our rhythms at Gospel Grace are the ordinary, but essential practices that we as a church devote ourselves to on the path of following Jesus. When we talk about community at Gospel Grace, we are referring to something much more significant than being around people who are like us or who we like. Community isn't just living in the same place as a group of people or being with people of common backgrounds, interests, languages, or life stages. Community is how we describe the unity with God and others that humans were made for as a result of bearing the image of God. Though that design has been broken by sin, God is at work through the gospel to restore relationships with Him and others. Although God saves men and women as individuals, He saves them into a new community–a family! And, if God has made them into a family, we should live like one in authentic love and sacrificial good works toward each other and the world around them — not to earn His love, but in response to His love. "Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. [12] No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us." (1 John 4:11-12)
Hebrews 10:19-25 - Speaker: Jon Kopp - In the midst of our study through 1 and 2 Timothy this year, we are going to be taking a few breaks along the way to teach through what we call The Rhythms of Gospel Grace. When we talk about the rhythms of Gospel Grace we aren't referring to drums and beats, we mean the ordinary, but essential practices that we as a church devote ourselves to on the path of following Jesus. Our rhythms are a way of highlighting the healthy habits of Christian living that lead us to flourishing in the body of Christ. Some might refer to them as a discipleship pathway or steps to growing in grace. We call them our rhythms. Our hope is that as we work through these 5 practices throughout this year you can locate where you are in your journey of faith and discover what next steps God has for you as you grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Our first rhythm is “Gather in Worship.” May God help us to grow both personally and corporately in seeing Him for Who He is and responding to His glory with all that we are.

Title: Run In Gospel GraceSpeaker: Nate HoldridgeText: Galatians 5:7-15Galatians Theme: Galatians describes a life that is free. It is a life in flight. If we cling to the true gospel, if we accept it for what it is, we can fly. But Paul wrote Galatians because the Galatian believers—and all future believers—were in danger. If we adulterate the gospel, if we add to it in any way, we will not fly. Like a bird chained in a birdcage, we will (at best) hinder ourselves from flying into God's ideal for our lives or (at worst) hinder ourselves and others from true salvation.Overview: Paul was confident that God would help these Galatians run again in grace. He said, "I have confidence in the Lord that you will take no other view" (10). He believed God would work on their behalf and get them back on course, running the race of grace. He had the same attitude towards them that he had about the Philippians:Links:Sermon NotesDiscussion Questions
