Another celebration of all those who stepped out boldly proclaiming Jesus through baptism! This will never get old! Today we also kicked off our Impact series with the message, “Mark the Body.” God first put the desire in my heart to talk about our church’s “Points of Passion” seven or eight years ago with the […]
READ MOREWow! We saw 38 people step out in obedience to Christ and get baptized at Grace yesterday!! And I’m telling you, this will NEVER get old! What a blast they must have had in Heaven as we celebrated down here! Why are baptisms so often treated more like funerals than celebrations? Why, as my pastor […]
READ MOREWe all (At GCC) have an exciting upcoming weekend for our church and community! Not only are we anticipating lost people coming to faith in Jesus as the gospel is presented, but also the chance to meet many of the new folks at our first ever Newcomers’ Lunch.

If you want to join us on our journey […]
READ MOREStarted a brand new series today—one of my favorite books of the Bible—Nehemiah. The Bible is the greatest book ever written, period. Why? Because, though penned by human authors, it is actually God breathed. In other words, God wrote it. Within this one book are actually 66 smaller books—each with eternal truths that even a […]
READ MORE· I broke one of the cardinal rules of Sunday Evening Mind Dumping…I missed Sunday! So, I made the executive decision to change it to a Monday Evening Mind Dump. Hope this doesn’t cause great angst with anyone! And I’m sure you’ll forgive me once you read what happened at Grace Community Church this past […]
READ MOREMy favorite days as a minister—bar none—have to be days of great harvest! I’m talking about all the days over the years when hundreds of people bent the knee to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior! I’m talking about those formerly estranged from their Creator being adopted into the family of God because they received […]
