Grace Church Stl

In the first three chapters of Romans, Paul lays out his case like God’s prosecuting attorney…every one of us is broken and guilty before Him. Now this weekend, we come to the heart of the gospel and God’s solution to save His most loved creation. It’s a life-changing message.

Like a prosecuting attorney before the courtroom of heaven, Paul presents his closing argument in Romans 3. Using Old Testament scriptures, he proves the whole world is guilty before God. The moral, the immoral, the religious, we’ve all violated God’s standards, rejected His right to rule our lives, and continued to sin even after coming to a knowledge of the truth. Even worse, we don’t even want God, none of us, so how can anybody be saved? Short answer: God wants us and does the impossible to save us.

In Part 5 of our series of the Book of Romans, Steve takes a look at how to be accepted by God. A lot of times we think we can work our way into heaven by doing things, never missing a church event or giving large amounts of money to the church. Although none of these things are horrible, we are accepted by God because of what Jesus did for us on the cross and our acceptance of that gift. Join us as Steve expounds on this wonderful news of the Gospel.

This week is the 4th part of our series in the Book of Romans. Steve takes a look at what he feels is the most important paragraph in the Bible. He also takes a look at the Gospel and explains the importance of what God penned to mankind through ordinary people. You won't want to miss this foundational teaching of why we need God, what He did for us and what His plan is for our future.

While Romans 1 revealed the destructive spiral of sin, Romans 2 continues by examining the inadequacy of any human effort to overcome it, even by religious means. This weekend, Wes will take a deep dive into the second chapter of Romans to uncover what it has to teach us about the dangers of relying on ourselves, our works, or religion to save us. God’s judgment is certain, and so the only way to experience true salvation is to put our faith in Christ alone!

This weekend Steve will discuss the second chapter of Romans. He will take a look at three types of people: • The rebellious person • The respectable person • The religious person

This weekend Grace welcomes, the Benham Brothers! Identical twins David and Jason Benham are American authors, speakers and entrepreneurs. Familiar with controversy, they were pushed into the limelight when their HGTV show was cancelled because they refused to compromise their values. This weekend, they will explore how to live faithfully, thrive and have hope for the days ahead, even in an unfriendly environment.

This weekend Steve looks at Romans to determine whether mankind is guilty or innocent in their relationship with God. The Scripture is clear about one thing... God will reveal himself to his creation. God is the creator of everything we see. He also created all mankind. He reveals himself to his created in many ways and gives everyone the opportunity to come into a relationship with Him.

Paul’s revelation of how God’s grace brings us from death to life is glorious, but before he unpacks it, he says some of the most unpopular, politically incorrect things pastors like to avoid. This weekend we return to the sin spiral. It’s the second half of the first chapter, and it’s the truth we desperately need to enjoy true freedom.

We begin a new series in the Book of Romans this weekend. Steve will be discussing what our assignment is while we are on the earth. The writer of the Book of Romans, Paul, has much to say concerning why we are here and what our role is during our lifetime. Paul had his own plan in life until God miraculously showed Himself to Paul and changed the course of Paul's life. God wants to do the same with us; reveal Himself to us and then show us the desired life he has planned for each and every one of us.

Paul’s revelation of how God’s grace brings us from death to life is glorious, but before he unpacks it, he says some of the most unpopular, politically incorrect things pastors like to avoid. These words are hard to say, harder to hear, yet God knows what we need to hear, and this weekend we jump right in. It’s the second half of the first chapter, and it’s the truth we desperately need to enjoy true freedom.

One fervent Jew, a single man bent on eradicating the early church, brings the direct and dramatic intervention of Jesus Himself. This weekend we start our study on the book of Romans with some background on that man. We’ll learn that the message he meant to stop will be spread throughout the Roman Empire over the next two decades by this very man. Invite a friend and join us for the exciting back story on the message that continues to transform men’s and women’s lives today…on-campus or online at gracestl.online.church!

With new reports coming out from governments around the world, there has been a lot of questions about claims of UFO sightings and encounters. Are we truly alone in the universe? Are these sightings real, and are they something to be concerned about? Grace’s own chapter of Reasons to Believe meets with Dr. Hugh Ross as he seeks to address these questions and more.

How can we be a light in this darkness? How can we live a God-honoring life that stays true to God’s word and at the same time has a voice of influence in our culture? This weekend Gary Hinrichs is going to look at a bible character that provides us with a great example along these lines – his name is Daniel. We will follow the life of Daniel and see how he stood by his God given principles and did not bow down to un-Godly demands. He stood his ground and God protected him throughout his ordeal.

This weekend, Ron & Wes join Mike Bickle for a conversation on John 13-17. Here Jesus gives His church specific instructions on how to prepare for the end times while maintaining a sense of peace and hope, even in the face of increasing cultural pressure. Don’t miss this timely and encouraging message!

This week Steve continues the story of Joseph and the comeback he experiences in his life. God always has a plan in place even though we may not see it or understand what we are going through. Trusting in God is difficult, but as His children we must believe He has our best interests at hand. Everything which seemed to be a negative for Joseph ended up being a good thing and positioned him to save his people.

It’s the fourth and last part of our series on the doctrine of salvation…how we get saved from sin, enter God’s kingdom, and receive supernatural power for ministry. Ron takes us into the book of Acts to see how the first century Christians experienced the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the difference He made in their lives. Invite a friend to join you this weekend here on campus or online at gracestl.online.church!

This week Steve takes a look at the life of Joseph and his brothers. As we read the story of Joseph, we all would agree the events which happened to Joseph were not fair. God tells us in the Bible that His ways are not like our ways. God uses the events of Joseph's life to save nations. Think about all the events in your own life which you might consider to be unfair. Do you think God might be using those events for a greater purpose? God uses adverse situations to show all of us how we can overcome and be used to bring glory to His name. So today, don't look at your problem as a problem, but come back to God knowing He has a plan and a purpose for what you are going through.

Most of us know what it’s like to feel lost, hopeless, or so far from God, recovery seems impossible. But it’s important to remember He has the power to break sin and cleanse us from any wrong or failure. This weekend, Wes will share his personal story of salvation and how God brought deliverance from a life of drugs and perversion. Wes’ story reminds us that we’ve never gone too far to be redeemed and rescued.

Steve takes a look at the law of Passion in Part 13 of our series Game Changers. In easy terms, passion can be thought of us loving something or someone in a way which makes it/them a priority. As the Bible states in Revelation 2:1-7, we must always be weary of losing our "first love" to God and we must continually find a way to renew our love toward Him. This week Steve looks at some ways which can take away our passion for God, but ends the teaching by showing us how to regain our passion through a heart transplant.
