WL Grace Sermons

On Mount Sinai, God revealed himself to Moses as a gracious and just God. How can a just God forgive sins? How can a gracious and forgiving God punish sins? How does the answer to these questions reveal the glory of God? Join us to find out.

We are entering week 4 of our series on God’s glory and walking through Exodus 34:6-7. This week we will be talking about how God is a forgiving God and how that forgiveness deeply impacts every one of us.

Do you believe God loves you? Join us as we continue our “Glory” series and discover what it means that God is abounding in love and faithfulness. 

The Glory of Patience

God’s anger and our anger are different. For one thing, God is slow to anger. What does that even mean, and how has it played out in history? What does it mean for us to be slow to anger? Join us as we continue in our study of God’s self-revelation of His glory in response to Moses’ request: “Show me your glory.”   

Stewardship

What was the “tithe” in the Old Testament? How should we think about tithing today in the church? What are obstacles to tithing? How does one go from being a grudging giver to a joyful tither? Join us this Sunday as we consider the gift of tithing.

Do the nations matter? Is there still a need for cross-cultural ministry today? As believers, what is our responsibility to the world? Join us as we lift our eyes to the world and engage these questions.   

You would be hard pressed to find a more famous mother than Mary, the Mother of Jesus. Yet, we don’t talk much about her. Join us as we look at lessons from Mary’s life for all of us.     

The same earth-shaking power that raised Jesus bodily from the dead also makes us alive with Christ today. Join us as we conclude our sermon series, "Easter Aftershocks."   

The resurrection changed everything… forever! At Easter we looked at the significance of the earthquakes that happened at Jesus’ death and resurrection. Now let’s explore how the aftershocks  of the resurrection have been changing lives for centuries!

At the death and resurrection of Jesus, the earth literally shook with earthquakes.  Why did the ground tremble at these events?  What did that mean?  Join us this Easter Sunday as we celebrate the week that shook the world (and still does).

The Long-Awaited King!

This week we hope that you will see with fresh-eyes what happened on Palm Sunday. In Luke 19 we read about Jesus coming in on a donkey and how that was the long awaited fulfillment of promises throughout the Old Testament. We will look back through the OT and allow a fresh sense of anticipation to build as we head into Passion Week!

Am I in the Place of God?

Hardship, suffering, and brokenness of the world can tempt us to question God’s power or goodness. The final chapter of Joseph’s story challenges us to ask, “Am I in the place of God?” How might the answer to this question grow our perspective or deepen our faith? Join us to reflect on Genesis 50.

Full Circle

Full circle moments are events which connect with the past and point to the future. As we approach the end of the Joseph story, we encounter several full-circle moments which bring closure to Jacob and Joseph’s stories while also connecting forward to us. Join us as we continue the hope-giving story of Joseph.

Heart Check

Amazingly, Joseph didn’t take revenge on his treacherous brothers when they showed up looking for food in Egypt. However, he did test them to see if their hearts had changed. Join us as we consider how the brothers’ hearts had changed and do our own heart check.   

Joseph-Look up!

In this week’s sermon, Joseph goes from prison to second-in-command of Egypt, but not without challenges. Join us as Pastor Tim Boucher continues our sermon series in the life of Joseph.    

Joseph’s life was a roller coaster ride of favor followed by betrayal, mounting success followed by unjust humiliation. Through it all, God was with Joseph. And Joseph’s response to his dramatically changing circumstances reflected God’s faithfulness to him. Join us as we continue our study of the life of Joseph.  

A Bad Beginning

The life of Jospeh is a story of hope, but it gets off to a disturbing start.  Family dysfunction and violent betrayal highlight the first chapter (Genesis 37).  Despite the darkness, God’s promises and purposes are not absent.  Join us this Sunday as we start a new sermon series on the life of Joseph.

Celebration

First birthdays are a big deal. This Sunday we want to celebrate the first anniversary of the Wide Open Initiative. We want to pause and take time to remember and celebrate what God has done and is doing now in and through the church family. We are a work in progress, and God is doing great things! Let’s celebrate!

With Jesus . . . Together

We're talking about habits of walking with Jesus. We don't do this just privately or in isolation; we do this with others. In fact, the home is one of the best places to follow Jesus together. Join us as we conclude our sermon series, "With Jesus."
