“We are an intentional community of grace that loves God,
demonstrated by loving people in a culture of discipleship.”
The mission of Grace is carried out, to a great degree, through our Care Groups. This means that Care Group Leaders are key people in the life and mission of the church. For this reason, we orchestrated a Care Group Leadership Summit for all thirty-seven of them to come together for a time of encouragement and equipping. We thank God for their dedication and skill as we work together with you for your joy.
Each Care Group Leader is under the shepherding oversight of an Elder (each Elder is a care group leader too) who is present and ready to listen to and address pastoral needs of the whole flock. All who are not able to be part of a Care Group are also under the shepherding care of an Elder. If you have not already, you will be contacted soon as to who “your” Elder is. Please be faithful to pray for and support your leaders as we walk together Godward in the mission He has for us.
We have completed the exposition of the book of Deuteronomy. It took thirty-one sermons which started back in April of 2024. It is my desire that through it, the Lord developed in you a deeper appreciation for the record of the Old Testament and were drawn to understand His character and purpose more fully with the gospel of Jesus Christ in view.
Now we proceed to unpack the letter to the Galatians. In it Paul writes “But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons” (Galatians 4:4–5). Earlier, John recorded that “the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ” (John 1:17). Now, as new creations in Christ, Scripture affirms that the “righteous requirement of the law is fulfilled in us who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit” (Roman 8:4). In Christ, we are free! As we study this letter, we will explore this freedom in order to understand it and live in it, and to recognize the things that would distract us from it. The theme for our study through Galatians is: “OUR FREEDOM IN CHRIST: Faith Working through Love”. In preparation for this study, I encourage you to read Hebrews 8-10.
See you on the Lord’s Day!
