Summer Sermon Series | John MacArthur: "The Need for Doctrinal Courage"
The next sermon in our summer series is by John MacArthur from Shepherd's Conference 2018 at Grace Community Church. In this message, he addresses the need to not only preach the gospel, but to also guard it with courage and boldness in a world full of false doctrines that try to add works to salvation. True salvation is only by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.
Summer Sermon Series | Paul Washer: "What Your Soul Needs"
The next sermon in our summer series is by Paul Washer from the 2021 Fellowship Conference in Texas. In this message, Paul Washer reminds us that pastors are people too and will often study and preach on the very issues they are wrestling through in their own souls. No matter how perfect someone looks on the outside, we all sin and need to repent. In addition to addressing functional perfectionism, Washer also turns to Scripture to provide four keys to spiritual growth.
Summer Sermon Series | H.B. Charles: “Sufficiency"
The next sermon in our summer series is by H.B. Charles on the sufficiency of Scripture from Shepherd's Conference 2022 at Grace Community Church. Many Christians would rightly say they believe the Bible is the Word of God and is not a book full of errors, but do we live like it’s “enough” and trust it as “enough” for life, decisions, and living out God’s will for our lives?
Summer Sermon Series | Voddie Baucham: “Man and Woman by God’s Design”
The second sermon in our five-week summer series is by Voddie Baucham. In this message, he delivers truth that is sorely needed in today’s world and covers the topics of manhood, womanhood, and God’s glorious design. Every Christian — especially parents, pastors, and educators — should be able to clearly articulate a biblical view of manhood and womanhood and this sermon will definitely equip you for that!
Summer Sermon Series | Austin Duncan: “Ready, Fire, Aim”
In this first sermon of our summer series, Austin Duncan helps us see how the right truth can still be delivered the wrong way, and at the wrong time! With wisdom from the book of Job, we’ll learn lessons about counseling others with discernment, gentleness, and truth. Biblical counseling is an important part of Christian discipleship, but we need to make sure we don’t pull a “Zophar” (Job 11).

Why Aren't All Prayers Answered?

This episode will point you back to the grace of God and remind you that repentance and humility are vital to a thriving prayer life.
Why Do You Pray?
In this episode, Costi Hinn provides 5 questions for assessing your prayer motives and digs into James 4:1-5. Not only do we need to be careful of judging the motives of others, we also need to be most diligent in assessing our own motives for prayer.
How to Build Your Prayer Life
In this episode, Costi Hinn kicks off a 3-week series to help tune up your prayer life and renew your mind. Using the model of Jesus and His prayer life, this episode will help you build a biblical prayer life.
The Kingdom of Heaven is Like…
In this final episode of the parables series, Costi Hinn unpacks two parables that Jesus uses to explain what the kingdom of heaven is like (Matthew 13:44-46).
The Good Samaritan
When a lawyer stands up and publicly tries to test Jesus in order to embarrass Him with a question, the Lord responds with a question of His own. What follows that moment is one of the most well-known parables in history called “The Good Samaritan.” In this episode, Costi Hinn walks you through this parable and explains the core truths that Christians should apply as they seek to love God and their neighbor.
The Vineyard Workers
In this episode, Costi Hinn unpacks Matthew 20:1-13 and the parable of the vineyard workers. In this passage, Jesus highlights the nature of God’s sovereign grace and His prerogative to save who He wants to, when He wants to, and use them however He wants to. This episode will be a great encouragement to those who may feel like a second-class citizen in Christ because they are late bloomers when it comes to salvation.
The Four Soils
In this episode, Costi Hinn explains the parable of the four soils (also called “parable of the sower”) in which Jesus delivers clear and convicting truth about human hearts and how they receive the seed of the Word. Many people don’t understand this parable, but Christ makes it easy to interpret as He provides His own explanation in Matthew 13:18-23.
The Pharisee and the Publican
In this episode Costi Hinn explains the meaning of Jesus’ parable about two men who went up to the temple to pray one day. Themes in this episode include justification by faith, humility, repentance, self-righteousness, and salvation.
The Prodigal Son
In this episode, Costi Hinn continues his series through the parables by unpacking truths from Jesus' teaching on the prodigal son that speak to lost souls and religious hypocrites. Themes include sin, repentance, grace, self-righteousness, and forgiveness. Whether you're a long-time Christian or new to faith, the lessons from this parable will bring you back to the foundation of salvation and God's love for us.
The Ten Virgins
Some people are ready for Christ to return or call them home, and some are not. Some people are living for themselves but think they are saved, while others are humbly living their life for God’s glory. In the parable of “The Ten Virgins” Jesus arrests the eternal perspective of His audience by showcasing how once the Lord returns, it will be too late to be saved. Today is the day of salvation.
The Unforgiving Servant
Jesus warns us to be careful of being unforgiving in light of how forgiven we are. In this episode Costi Hinn unpacks the parable of “The Unforgiving Servant” and reminds us why all Christians forgive, and clarifies what forgiveness is not.
