Every Easter, we show up. We put on our best, we fill the room, and we celebrate the cross and the empty tomb. We say, “He is risen!” But if we’re honest, many of us walk away still wondering what the resurrection actually means for our everyday lives. Because once the songs fade, life doesn’t slow down. The pressure is still there. The questions linger. Deep down, many of us are still asking, where do I really stand with God? What if Easter is pointing us to something more? Gripped By Grace discovers what the resurrection truly opens up for us - that God is not standing at a distance with a list of demands, but has drawn near to us through Jesus.
Are we actually living in the last days? Are there signs we should look for? How do I know if I’m ready? Who or what is the anti-Christ? The rapture? The millennium? Why does evil seem to be growing all around me?” This message series takes a deeper dive into biblical texts that help answer these questions.
FAITH COLUMBIA: What would it have been like to sit at the feet of Jesus and hear Him speak? What did His voice sound like? Would He have captivated your attention, or would you have droned out in the length and meter of His speech? While we can’t know exactly how the message went or what it sounded like, we do have the complete message from Jesus written down for us. Often called the Sermon on the Mount (because of the location where it was given), these words of Jesus challenge, inspire and cause many to stand in awe. Join us as we make our way through the Greatest Message Ever together.
FAITH COLUMBIA: This recording by Luke is very insightful for our lives today as Christ Followers. We always look for Jesus in the BIG things…the spectacular…the miraculous signs. But these two disciples saw Jesus in the simple breaking of a hunk of bread from the full loaf. Yes, Jesus did some spectacular things. But most often, He was seen by His followers in the simple way(s) He reached out to people and in the sharing of the life-changing Gospel. Where are you looking for Jesus?
God wants His people to truly become “laborers in God’s vineyard”. This five-week message series will focus on Greg Finke’s book Joining Jesus on His Mission, which will introduce the practices (or rhythms) of Joining Jesus on His Mission.
Life is full of twists, turns, and Pivots that often signal a change of direction or a new chapter in our lives. During our six-week Lenten journey on Sunday mornings, we will highlight a number of Pivots in Jesus’ life and discuss what they mean for Christians today.
