Walking with Jesus Our Hope
Life on the Vine | Walking with Jesus Our HopeIn his first message as Lead Pastor of Grace Church, Pastor Tim shares how John 14 became a lifeline during a difficult season in his own life. As Jesus comforts His troubled disciples, we’re reminded that hope isn’t found in circumstances, it’s found in a Person. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. He’s still writing your story. He hasn’t left you as an orphan. And He invites you to trust the Spirit who lives in you, not just a God who’s “with” you...

A Well & A Stone

What are you wrestling with? And what lies might be shaping your life more than you realize?This week, Pastor Joe walks us through the story of Jacob, his past, his limp, and the moment everything changed.

Prayer in a Whole New Reality
In this message, Pastor Josiah Stumbo invites us into a deeper understanding of what it means to pray in the Spirit. Drawing from Isaiah, the words of Jesus, and Paul’s letters, we see how prayer becomes a living connection with God, not just discipline, but relationship.When we recognize the Holy Spirit’s presence within us, prayer moves from routine to reality. We are reminded that we are God’s children, grounded in His love, and never alone, even when words fail.👋 New to Grace | gracecma.org/new 🙏 Prayer Requests | gracecma.org/prayer 👏 Give | gr...

From Death to Life
Paul shows us that moral effort and religious rules can’t make us right with God, only grace through Jesus can. But grace isn’t a license to sin. Every choice has consequences: sin brings death and bondage, while Christ brings freedom, holiness, and eternal life.In this message, Pastor Kareem reminds us that the domain we serve will be the domain that dominates. Will we choose sin, or will we choose life in Christ?👋 New to Grace | gracecma.org/new 🙏 Prayer Requests | gracecma.org/prayer 👏 Give | gracecma.org/give 📱Website: www.gracecma.org

The Art of Empty
We don’t usually like empty—but God does His best work with it.In this week’s message, Pastor Joe unpacks the story of a widow in 2 Kings 4 who had nothing left—except a small jar of oil. As long as she brought empty jars, God kept filling them. The oil never ran out until the jars did.From creation to the cross, Scripture shows us a pattern: God fills what is empty. The question is—are we willing to bring Him our empty places?Listen in and discover how to live with open...

The Choice That Changes Everything
You don’t have to bow to a statue to worship a counterfeit god. In this final installment of our Enter series, Pastor Kareem Smith walks through Joshua 24 and calls us to examine what—or who—has our hearts.As Joshua reminds Israel of God’s provision and power, he presents them with a choice: keep wavering, or declare your allegiance to the Lord. Kareem unpacks how this same decision faces us today. Whether it’s image, money, politics, or control—anything can become a god we serve. But Jesus invites us into something better.👣 This message wi...

Remembering God’s Faithfulness
How do you keep your faith strong when the future feels uncertain? You remember the past.In this message from our Enter series, we look at Joshua 4, where God called the Israelites to stop and mark the moment He led them across the Jordan River. These stones weren’t just physical markers—they were faith builders. They told a story. And they challenged every generation to come to ask, “What has God done here?”When we remember God’s past provision, we gain strength to trust Him with tomorrow.👋 New to Grace | gracecma.org/new 🙏...

Perspective & Provision
In Perspective and Provision, Pastor Tim Meier explores the story of the twelve spies in Numbers 13–14, showing how our ability to see clearly, through God’s eyes, can change everything. While most of the spies returned with fear and doubt, Caleb and Joshua saw the same circumstances with a different spirit. Their perspective was shaped not by fear but by trust in God’s character and presence.Tim challenges us to consider: What if the Promised Land isn’t primarily about geography or blessings, but about knowing and walking with God Himself?

As Israel stands on the edge of the Jordan River, God’s instruction is clear: when the priests carrying the Ark step into the water, He will make a way. This message is a timely reminder that God often calls us to step first before the path becomes clear.

You Are Free From Accusation
In this week’s message, Pastor Jonathan reminds us that the enemy loves to accuse—but Jesus has already silenced those accusations once and for all. Digging into Revelation 12 and Colossians 1, we’re reminded that we were born into a battle, but we were also born to win it.

Giants, Grasshoppers, And The Stories We Tell Ourselves
In this message, Pastor Joe Le-Mon wraps up our series, “I Doubt It,” with a message on the transformative power of faith in overcoming life's giants.

The 1 st chapter of the Bible makes it clear that humans are the climax of God’s creation. We are set apart from all other animal life, and even from the angels.
