Pete Payne preaches the fourth message of our “Summer of Psalms.” Using Psalm 138, Pete asks us a series of questions. What hope occupies your thoughts? In both days that are filled with good things as well as days that you are facing struggles, what thoughts rose to an exalted position in your thinking? What rises to the exalted position of thinking in the mind of God? In vs. 2 the psalmist answers this question, “for you have exalted above all things your name and your word.” What relation to God’s thoughts and what He exalts have to my thoughts and what I exalt in my thinking?

Craig Cabaniss preaches the third sermon in the "Summer of Psalms." Psalm 139 gives us an intimate picture of God. In this psalm we see answers to many common questions. God, do you really know what's going on in my life? God, where are you? In verse after verse, David shows us how God knows everything about us, our thoughts, actions and words before they even happen. Christians should take comfort in the knowledge that God is with us every moment of the day and has not left us alone.

Craig Cabaniss preaches the second message of the "Summer of Psalms". In Psalm 103 David begins with a call to worship, to praise the God of the universe, and not to forget all of His benefits. He ends with instructing every person to praise the Lord. This is one of the primary things we do when we gather on Sunday. We seek not to forget any of the Lord's benefits.

Craig Cabaniss preaches the inaugural message of the "Summer of Psalms". Starting with Psalm 33, we see a call to exuberant worship (4 verses), then reasons to praise (19 verses). Honest emotion and honest questions about the human conditions are expressed in the Psalms. If you are feeling it, there is likely a Psalm that expresses your situation. At the same time the Psalms express the nature and character of God (Godward focus).

Craig Cabaniss preaches the last message of our sermon series in the book of 1 Timothy. In verses 6:17-21, we see that Paul is issuing a summary statement for Timothy's calling. The emphasis that Paul has given Timothy for his church comes in three parts, 1. Sound belief, 2. Sound doctrine and 3. Sound practice. Paul brings these together in vs. 20 when he tells Timothy to guard the deposit (God's Truth) that has been entrusted to you.

Josh Jordan, a Care Group leader at Grace Church Frisco, brings us a message from Philippians. Using verses 4:6-7, Josh demonstrates how we are to live in God's presence through prayer and to be protected by His peace.

Craig Cabaniss preaches part 19 of our series in 1 Timothy. In chapter 6:11-16, Craig shows us this text asks of us something great. This passage is for the people saying, "give me something to do for God."

After searching the Scriptures regarding mothers, although not fully determinative, Pete Payne shares how a mother's teaching is of great value and it exerts a powerful influence in the lives of her children. Three points expounded on, 1) the value of a mothers teaching, 2) the power of a mother's influence and 3) the joyful privilege and sober responsibility of being a gospel-centered mother. Scriptures: Proverbs 1:8-9, Proverbs 6:20, Proverbs 14:1, Proverbs 31:1, Titus 2.

Nearing the finish of the book of 1 Timothy, Craig Cabaniss preaches Part 18 using verses 3-10 of chapter 6.

In Part 16 of our sermon series in 1 Timothy, Craig Cabaniss asks the question, "Why all this concern over elders?" Craig answers this question using vs. 5:17-25, it's because God loves His church.

Guest speaker, Dave Harvey, Senior Pastor of Covenant Fellowship Church in Philadelphia and a member of the Sovereign Grace Leadership Team, examines three claims the gospel places on our lives 1) go forward, uncertain, 2) prepare for difficulty, 3) value it (the gospel) above all. In the unpacking of this area of scripture, Dave asks the question, "What is your Jerusalem (your audacious gospel call)?"

Dave Harvey, the author of "When Sinners Say 'I Do' Discovering the Power of the Gospel for Marriage," brings us Part 2 of 2 from our Marriage Seminar. Using Titus 2:11-15, Dave encourages us by showing how God's grace represents His commitment to help us change.

Dave Harvey, the author of "When Sinners Say 'I Do' Discovering the Power of the Gospel for Marriage," brings us Part 1 of 2 from our Marriage Seminar. Using Luke 6:27-36, Dave shows us how Jesus tells us we are to demonstrate mercy to others just as our Father in heaven has been merciful to us.

On Easter Sunday, Craig Cabaniss asks, "What if there is no resurrection?" Using the text from 1 Corinthians Paul asks the church the same question, showing the gravity of this pivotal event in Christianity.

What makes someone Godly? Using 1 Timonthy 4:6-10, Craig Cabaniss shows us that Godliness is not defined by what someone doesn't do, but rather Godliness is about whom we pursue, living with a reverance, a respect and awe for God. Psalm 16:8, I have set the Lord always before me.

Pete Payne brings us Part 12 of our sermon series on the book of 1 Timothy. In 1 Timothy 4:1-5, Pete shows us that Paul lays out how individuals should behave in the household of God. On a side note, Pete tries to offer a compelling argument against cilantro.

Craig Cabaniss uses 1 Timothy 3:14-16 to have a "do over" of sorts, preaching the text of the message from last week. What was said last week is not being adjusted, but being applied to the upcoming two-service expansion Grace Church will be going to the first Sunday in April.

Craig Cabaniss preaches from the text about the risk of obscuring the person and work of Christ; how the church is a family and a means to help and serve; versus a means for me to benefit, individualistically, to the exclusion of the corporate or community aspect of the local church.

Pete Payne brings us Part 9 of our series in the book of 1 Timothy. In 1 Timothy 3:8-13 Paul gives us the qualifications for a deacon. Pete demonstrates that deacons pursue the promises of God through the privilege of serving the people of God.

Craig Cabaniss continues as our tour guide through the cultural minefield of first Timothy as we arrive in treacherous terrain, unpacking this counter-US-culture area of Scripture. In the text, Paul addresses the roles of each gender and gives specific Holy Spirit inspired guidelines for the role of women in the local assembly.

Craig Cabaniss, acting as our tour guide through a cultural minefield, continues in the study of 1 Timothy, unpacks the truth that an "others orientation" is to be our aim when we gather. In the text, 1 Timothy 2:8-10, as a word of correction, Paul addresses the Ephesian Church men to pray and deal gently with others, and ladies to adorn themselves with good works from a heart of modesty.

Craig Cabaniss preaches the last of four assessment messages as our New Year begins. Taking the text from James 1:22-25, Craig helps us see that while hearing is important and good, without application to our lives (doing), we risk self-deception. (vs.22) “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” (vs.25) “…a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.”

Pete Payne shows us how the Psalmist lays out three ways to guard our way in Psalm 119. 1. Dependence on the Word, 2. Disciplines of the Word, 3. Delighting in the Word.
