Grace Community Church Podcast

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. We have a God who’s the God of all hope who can fill us with all joy and peace as we trust in Him, so that we may overflow with hope. Leave here knowing, we have a future, and it’s worth the living!

As Christians we were once dead in our trespasses and sins, but now we’ve been made alive in Jesus Christ. And we weren’t made to be tending that grave of sin and darkness and defeat, no, we were called by name, born and raised back to life again. The truth is, we were made for more.

Many of us love the idea that we have been saved by grace through our faith in Christ. But if we really think about it, someone had to share that with us. Imagine if they had not done so? When we think of it that way, it ought to put an urgency in us to GO and TELL!

It can be really difficult to see others the way Jesus does. This is because we are so quick to judge others' flaws without much recognition of our own. We see that Jesus does the unthinkable, and it’s ultimately for our benefit.

When trying to do the right thing and serving God, the enemy and others will stand in the way and do their best to cause fear in your life. This can ultimately lead to emotional, mental, phyiscal, and spiritual exhaustion. The good news is, God is always with us no matter what!

Our hearts start to get hardened because things do not go the way we think that they should. We see a different outcome than what we envisioned in our heads. This creates tension and then a tendency to step away from pursuing that relationship with God and to take things into our own hands. But, as we know, that never works out well.

Many of us walk around with blinders on to what God is doing both in our lives and in this world. His desire is for us to see the world, people, ourselves the way that He does.

When our eyes are opened to His ways, it simply changes EVERYTHING.

The church is the change that this world has been waiting. We are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. But understand, that change starts with you and it starts with me. Are you excelling in the grace of giving? Are you known as a Cheerful Giver? Are you known for putting God on the throne of your life?

As a country it’s time for us to get back to the basics and say, “In God We Trust”. And that’s what the next few weeks are all about. God change us, give us a new perspective, give us a new plan, give us a new priority, so that in this time of crisis, in this time of uncertainty, we can become the real change agent that this world so desperately needs.

The Bible says we are the change. Never forget that we are the salt of the earth; we are the light of the world. And real change starts with you and it starts with me.

You're the only person on earth who can use your specific, God-given Abilities as part of God’s purpose for you, and those impacted through you for such a time as this. Will you say, God I’m ALL IN!

Decide this week that you’re going to look for opportunities to serve God in a way that matches your heart. What do you love to do? What are you passionate about? If you could do anything for God and not fail, what would you do? Decide today to push all the chips into the middle of the table and say, I’m all in.
