Our Current Archived Sermons!

We've gotten a lot of questions recently about where to get our most recent sermons, and how to open the player to access the menu. We're working through revamping our church website in the very near future, to streamline things and make the website more easy and simple to work with. But for now, we do have a decent archive of recent sermons for you to listen to. Here's the link to the full player - open the link and scroll down to see the list of sermons available for you to listen to. This is also accessible right from the home page of the Grace Brethren Church website - the player's on the right, and click the little square icon in the bottom right corner to open the full player. The link above just simplifies things a bit.

I'd encourage you to make use of this, especially if you have small kids that keep you out of part of the service, or you've been working in the nursery, etc. Hearing sound preaching of the Word of God is a huge component to our worship as Christians. Make sure you get a good dose of it.

Enjoy the sermons - hope this is a helpful tool for you during the week as you look ahead to our next Sunday gathering. :)

Preparing for Sunday, 8/5/12

 

Hard to believe August is already here and summer's drawin' to a close. Crazy. But here we are, and it's so good and so necessary for us to meet together as a church, to encourage one another to stay the course of the Faith and to value Christ above all. And all the more as we wait for Christ's immanent return. Hebrews 10:23-25 says,

"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for [God] who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near." (emphasis added)

 SO, tomorrow Marshall Walter will be preaching on 1 Corinthians 4:14-21. Follow the link to read the passage and prepare your heart and mind to hear from the Word tomorrow.

We'll sing the following songs together tomorrow:
1. Open The Eyes Of My Heart
2. The Glories Of Calvary
3. Come Thou Fount
4. Jesus Thank You

I just want to highlight a verse of one of the songs this week. In "Come Thou Fount," the last verse we'll sing says "Oh that day when freed from sinning, I shall see Thy lovely face/Full-arrayed in blood-washed linen, how I'll sing Thy sovereign grace." Let's count the cost of what we sing tomorrow, and prepare our hearts by reading the passage from 1 Corinthians, and/or from our other study of Scripture, to sing that with our hearts fully engaged. That we will hopefully sing together, encouraging one another as we do, longing for the day when Christ will return and end sin's reign in our lives once and for all. And praise God that we have the perfect righteousness of Jesus substituted to us, so we can stand before God and call Him "Father." And we can truly long for that day with hope and joy and confidence.

Hope to see you tomorrow. Get your coffee, warm up your voice on the drive in, and let's genuinely worship as the gathered Church.
