Grace Church Stl

The Apostle Paul makes a stark contrast between the Old Testament system of working to gain God’s approval by keeping the law and the spiritual nature we receive when we’re born again. This new system runs on a whole new platform that totally depends on God-strength. This weekend Ron will unlock the life-changing good news in Romans chapter 7, so invite a friend and join us for worship and the Word...on campus or online at gracestl.online.church!

This week we are in Part 19 of our study in the book of Romans. Steve will discuss that law and how God gave the law to Moses. He will also speak about how Jesus came to fulfill the law which God gave to Moses. Why is this topic important? This topic is important because we always default to the law...we always want to work for the right to be accepted by God...however, Jesus already took care of everything we need to get to heaven...all we have to do is believe in Him and have faith in Him!

Join us for the conclusion of this exciting two-part series, as Brandon and Wes continue to address the incredible truth of Jesus Christ’s return. Together they will explore the importance of this key doctrine to the Christian faith and walk through what Paul’s writings add to the conversation. This is going to be an insightful message you won’t want to miss.

This weekend David Sutherland shares the story of Elijah the prophet.

In this two-part series, pastors Wes Martin & Brandon Hammonds tag team on the topic of the second coming of Jesus with these goals for the church in mind: to normalize the subject of Jesus’s return, reduce skepticism, and to showcase Grace Church’s perspective surrounding the details of this long-anticipated, scriptural prophecy.

In Romans 7 the Apostle Paul compares us with the woman who’s married to a tyrant, an impossible man to please. We’re stuck in a loveless marriage of pure drudgery. Our only means of escape is death. Only the perfect prince can set us free. This week Ron will explain how the Law and the Spirit work in our lives to make us more like Jesus.

God’s plan for separating His children from sin and making them more like Himself is laid out in Romans chapters 6, 7 and 8. Ron’s going to talk about how the Bible, the Holy Spirit, and the believer work together to achieve God’s supernatural plan.

Life brings all kinds of challenges for each one of us. Hurts and pains are part of living life. Knowing this information is vital in how one deals with adversity. This week Steve walks us through how to deal with hurts according to the Bible. This life we live is temporary and we have the hope of an eternity where there will be no more sorrow and no more pain.

In Romans 6 the Apostle Paul shows us our true identity as God’s children, what it looks like to be in Christ once our spirit is born again, and how we can say no to sin and yes to God.

This week Steve is in Part 15 in our study of the book of Romans. He looks into Chapter 8 where Paul tells us we are either controlled by the human nature or by the spirit of God. Up until the time we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are controlled by human nature. After we accept Christ, He helps us to CHANGE and be controlled by the spirit that now lives in us. Come here about the Good News of the Gospel this weekend!

We are surrounded by people in bondage to sin and oppressed by the evil, supernatural influences. Thankfully, God has already given us all the power and authority we need to overcome the realm of darkness. This weekend christian author and Northwoods Community Church senior pastor, Cal Rychener, comes to share more about how we can partner with Christ to release prisoners and set captives free!

This weekend, Grace’s new Associate Pastor Brandon Hammonds will share his incredible testimony, detailing how God led him away from a life of sin and rebellion and into the redeeming arms of Jesus Christ.

Get ready for our plunge back into Romans. This week read Romans 5:12-6:5, and think on these things. In the first five chapters the focus is on what Christ’s death did to deliver us from our sins. In the next three, but especially in Romans 6, God emphasizes what Christ’s death did to deliver the sinner. Chapters 1-5 shows us what the cross means and how it gave forgiveness for sins, but in Romans 6 we see what Christ did to give forgiveness to the sinner. Exciting times! Invite your one-ask-away person to meet you here…on campus or online at gracestl.online.church!

Does God want you to live a life of shame? Does God ever want you to forget your past and move forward with your life? Do you think God holds your past mistakes over your head to remind you of your guilt? These questions and many more will be answered this weekend as we take a look at how God really feels about you and your life. Steve takes us to Romans 8 to see what Paul has to say about guilt and shame.

This week we are in Part 13 of our series in the Book of Romans. The text this week shows us that even the great Apostle Paul struggled with doing what he knew was the right thing to do. We all have this same struggle today. We know the good we want to do and usually fall short. But wait, there is hope! Steve discusses ways we can overcome the pitfalls of our sinful nature.

Ron will take us to the scriptures this weekend to explore God’s perspective on the confusing, tumultuous state of our world. The good news is that His church can to be anchored in a biblical worldview. If you can’t join us in person, be sure to be there for this one online at gracestl.online.church!
