Don't miss this week's message with Teaching Pastor and Youth Leader, Sam Pharris.

While the word of God stands alone in its truthfulness, authority, and effectiveness to save, still it must be received by faith. In this account of the word of God coming to Berea, we see the kind of mind that receives it and is blessed by it. The noble mind is humble enough to listen, engaged enough to search, and honest enough to acknowledge the truth without bias. The noble-minded person receives the word of God and gains Christ. Today, as we hear the word, let us open the mind of our hearts and be blessed. Grace Community Church exists to build spiritually healthy people for ministry in the world. One of the ways that we pursue this mission is by gathering each Sunday for corporate worship, prayer, and biblical teaching. The corporate nature of this gathering is both edifying to the believer and a witness of God's grace to the world. Sermon speaker is Scott Patty unless otherwise noted.

#bible #biblia #Jesus #JesusChrist #matthew16 In this podcast, we explore the questions Jesus posed to His disciples: 1. Who do people say I am? 2. Who do you think I am? The human mind can easily be influenced by others' opinions of who God is, as well as by our own understanding of God's truth about His identity. Jesus will help us discern the difference between human opinion and divine truth through Scripture and our relationship with Him.

As in other cities where the gospel was first preached by Paul and his mission team, many people in the city of Thessalonica believed in Jesus as Messiah and confessed him as Lord. What stands out about these new believers is that they received the gospel in much tribulation and with great joy. Today, from the account of the mission in this city, and from Paul's letter to the church in there, we are encouraged to open our hearts to God's word by faith and to be changed by it. Grace Community Church exists to build spiritually healthy people for ministry in the world. One of the ways that we pursue this mission is by gathering each Sunday for corporate worship, prayer, and biblical teaching.

A message from Pastor Bryan Tema during our Adult Getaway Conference. Bryan did not get a "calling" into vocational ministry until the age of 31.  He worked in the corporate world and in education for four years each prior to entering ministry.Bryan and his wife Tammy are high school sweethearts from southern California. After working in the corporate world while getting his MBA, and then transitioning into education as a high school teacher and coach, God called him at the age of 31 into vocational church ministry. They packed up their two young children, Josh and Cassandra, moving away from family to Texas in order to pursue and receive his Master's Degree from Dallas Theological Seminary.While attending seminary, Bryan served as a Youth Pastor for Grace Community Church in Tyler, Texas. Upon graduation, the church asked him to launch their third multi-site campus, located in Lindale, Texas. Bryan served as the Grace Community Lindale Campus Pastor for 9 years before responding to the call from Gracespring Bible Church to serve as the Lead Pastor in the Fall of 2014.

#Bible #Biblia #Jesus #JesusChrist #Spiritual We must be careful not to take scripture out of context when reading. Our physical minds can trick us into accepting things that aren't biblical while thinking they are spiritual. For example, the disciples misunderstood Jesus when he warned them to be on guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. They mistook his warning for a concern about forgetting to bring bread. We often let our physical circumstances overshadow spiritual truths. Join us as we explore Matthew 16, part 2.

Is having a "personal relationship” with Jesus too informal? Is it possible to have so much activity in your life that Jesus is impersonal to you? Scott and Josh discuss what Paul meant by saying, “To me, to live is Christ…" The Words of Grace Podcast seeks to clarify, amplify, and apply the Sunday morning sermon at Grace Community Church. From time to time, we will address other topics. We hope these podcasts help impress the Word of God into your everyday life. Episodes are hosted by Josh Hussung and Scott Patty.

Paul and Silas were asked to “come over to Macedonia and help us.” They did, by preaching the gospel of Christ. Christ is our help. He alone can open our minds to understand the gospel, deliver us from spiritual darkness, and rightly order our priorities for his Lordship. Those who are helped by him become his church in every city. And every city is helped by a congregation that lives for Christ. Grace Community Church exists to build spiritually healthy people for ministry in the world. One of the ways that we pursue this mission is by gathering each Sunday for corporate worship, prayer, and biblical teaching. The corporate nature of this gathering is both edifying to the believer and a witness of God's grace to the world. Sermon speaker is Scott Patty unless otherwise noted.

Acts 16 is the account of Paul and Silas bringing the gospel of Jesus Christ to Philippi. The presence of Christ filled this city as many turned to him repentance and faith, and then formed a church. Paul loved this new church. Later, he wrote the letter of Philippians to them. It, too, is filled with Christ. Today we take up this letter to fill our souls with Christ for his glory and our joy.

#bible #biblia #Jesus #JesusChrist #disiple Our attitude before the Lord is important. When we approach Scripture, do we ask God questions or do we question God? The same applies to our prayer life. God will reveal the answers to our questions, but we must remember to ask with the understanding that He is the Creator, and we are His creation.

Is Christian nationalism a dangerous eschatological error—or does the debate reveal a much deeper disagreement about Christ’s rule over nations?In this episode of The Magistrate, Josh Howard is joined by guest host Cory Wing to respond to Phil Johnson’s recent comments on Christian nationalism and postmillennialism.They examine whether nations can become Christian, whether the church is called to transform culture, the proper distinction between church and state, and whether civil government can ever truly be morally neutral.Along the way, Josh and Cory interact with questions surrounding John MacArthur, Grace Community Church, Covid-era government overreach, Psalm 2, Psalm 82, Isaiah 11, the Great Commission, and John 18.Can Christian political theology acknowledge Christ’s authority over rulers and nations without confusing the distinct roles of church and state?

In today's extra episode, I talk with Warren Smith about some news items that are slightly (even significantly) outside of our normal charity and philanthropy “beat.” They include:   John MacArthur's replacement has been named.  WORLD and other news outlets are reporting that “Grace Community Church in California affirmed a new senior pastor, more than a year after the death of renowned theologian John MacArthur. World Compassion Terry Law Ministries has a new name. Another sports gambling tragedy. It's an epidemic that churches and ministries have largely ignored, as our own Makella Knowles reported here.

Grace Community Church has named John MacArthur's successor, while another controversy surrounding G3 Ministries raises serious questions about church leadership and accountability. Segment 1 • Grace Community Church announces Nathan Busenitz as its new pastor following John MacArthur. • Why Todd believes GCC handled this enormous transition well. • Nathan Busenitz examines capitalism vs. socialism from a biblical worldview. Segment 2 • Is capitalism actually more biblical than socialism? • Why biblical generosity is voluntary rather than compelled by government.How our understanding of human nature changes the capitalism vs. socialism debate. Segment 3 • Todd addresses the latest G3 Ministries controversy—and explains why Wretched waited to discuss it. • Anonymous plagiarism accusations, a bizarre mailing campaign, and the resignation of all four elders at Praise Mill Baptist Church. • When a church is rocked by controversy, how should Christians respond without gossiping or rushing to judgment? Segment 4 • How should churches hold elders accountable without undermining their biblical authority? • Why church members sometimes need to trust elders even when confidentiality prevents them from explaining a decision. • What decisions should require congregational involvement—and could better accountability help prevent future church scandals? ___ Thanks for listening!
