As he drew his first epistle to a close, the apostle Peter turned his focus to the elders of the churches to which he wrote, urging them to lead their people with godliness. Elders and pastors are shepherds over God's flock, Alistair Begg reminds us—ones who should lead by example, cultivating humility, entrusting God with their anxieties, preparing to face adversity, and resting in the security of God's grace. Bible passages: 1 Peter 5:1-14

The Grace of God | Nehemiah 9:31-38 | Pastor Will Cover

2025.09.14 - Ryuta Kimura

But By The Grace Of God Speaker: Roger Pauley

Pastor Trevor Wilder

Guest speaker Marty Anderson shares a message surrounding the idea; do we take lightly the riches of God's kindness that leads us to repentance (Romans 2:4)? He, dives deep into the unstoppable, grace-upon-grace power of God—its priority in Scripture, Jesus as its endless source, its purpose to bless and make us a blessing, a real-life example that chisels our flaws into beauty, and an encouragement to let it abound in every corner of your "all."From Paul's prison plea in 2 Timothy 2:1—"You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus"—we unpack why grace trumps vision, doctrine, family, or any other strength. It's God's relentless favor through Jesus, pouring out like Peter's prayer in 2 Peter 1:2: "Grace be multiplied to you!" We'll trace it from John's eyewitness awe in John 1:14-16 (Jesus, full of grace and truth, giving us grace upon grace), through Paul's everything-by-grace testimony (calling, ministry, sufferings—you name it), to Genesis 12's covenant promise: God shows, makes, blesses... so you be a blessing. Grace isn't hoarded; it's reflected in forgiving words, gracious speech (Ephesians 4:29), and seeing others as "beautiful gifts of God's favor." Remember that flawed marble block Michelangelo turned into David? That's you—fractured, rejected, but sculpted by the Master's hand into His poem (Ephesians 2:10). And here's the mic-drop: The Bible's very last words? Not "Come, Lord Jesus" (that's second-to-last)—but "The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all" (Revelation 22:21). All your ups, downs, battles, joys—covered. As 2 Corinthians 9:8 declares, God makes all grace abound so you have abundance for every good work. If life's grit has you weary, this is your pillow of perseverance.

The life of Samson is both inspiring and tragic—a man chosen by God, filled with supernatural strength, and set apart for greatness, yet undone by his own choices.In this episode, we explore Samson's story from the book of Judges and uncover the four destructive attitudes that made him stumble: lust, entitlement, pride, and anger. Though he was called to deliver Israel, Samson often used his gifts for himself, leaving behind broken vows, fractured relationships, and missed opportunities. But Samson's story doesn't end in defeat. Blinded, humiliated, and at his lowest point, he turned to God in a desperate prayer for mercy and strength. In that moment of surrender, God redeemed his life and allowed him to fulfill his calling. His journey reminds us that failure does not have to define us—faithfulness to God, even in our weakest hour, can rewrite our story. This episode challenges men and women alike to examine the attitudes that derail us, and invites us to embrace the grace of God that restores, rebuilds, and empowers us to stand in the gap for others.

Ephesians 6:11-13Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

Sunday Teaching: 9.7.2025Teaching by: Xavier Brasseur

by Heidi Hughes

If we live by faith in God's promise of future grace, it will be very hard for anxiety to survive.

Out of the stories that remember when thinking about King David, we can't help but recall the story of David and Bathsheba. David commits adultery and murder and tries to cover it up. In this message, we discuss the power of sin and we discover the grace of God.

If you treated your salvation no longer as a gift, but as a purchase, God would no longer be the free benefactor.

You can't give anything to God or do anything for God that he hasn't first given to you and done for you.

What is the true gospel?  What is grace?  These questions and more are answered as we sit down with theologian and teacher James Barron.  Visit James' website "seeinggrace.com" for more resources and teachings on God's amazing grace!

"Working for God" is a theme that gets tossed around in the religious world. The memo suggests that too much grace will throw things out of balance and will deceive people. You may have even heard some say grace is dangerous. Experiencing God's grace, peace and rest doesn't mean people should be encouraged to do nothing while their earthly life passes them by. The Apostle Paul said this: "But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me (1 Corinthians 15:10). Paul wasn't boasting in himself that he worked harder than the other apostles. He plainly states he isn't the one doing the work ... but God working through him and with him. In Christ, we cease from our works as God did from His. There is no need to "repent" from bad behavior in order to be considered worthy. It is by the blood of Jesus we've been forgiven, saved and declared right with God. Living by the grace of God can help people to follow their heart freely, knowing it is God who is their life source. --Available on Amazon - "Clash of The Covenants: Escaping Religious Bondage Through the Grace Guarantee" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0713ZSKY7

Grace is not only God's disposition to do good for us when we don't deserve it. It is also a power that makes good things happen in us.

We know more of the mystery of our redemption than David did. We know Christ. But we lay hold of the mercy in the same way he did.
