Contact the church office for more information. The weekly Podcast features the Saturday MAN2MAN Event. Bob Hughes gives leadership to MAN2MAN and is the speaker for this teaching on "Vocation: God at work in ALL of life." Bob looks back at the history of how we inherited the myth of Sacred–Secular divide; he then moves the listener thru the reformation and its effect on breaking the myth down to show God at work on ALL of life. The teaching concludes with a 20-minute panel discussion to apply the material. Sat, 06 Aug 2011 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149177 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149235 In today's message Rob Tombrella spoke on John 13. He detailed how (1), Jesus demonstrated His love, (2), demands us to love like Him, and (3), declares His love. Rob pointed out that saying "Jesus is love" is a radical statement, and highlighted that He took love seriously. He doesn't just invite us to love like Him, He commands it. The application was to work on loving like Jesus. However, understanding that our love will not be perfect, but a work in progress. Sun, 31 Jul 2011 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149235 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149234 Craig Cabaniss spoke this week on John 12:20-50. These verses cover the last period of Jesus' ministry, 3 days away from His death on a cross. He laid out three points to follow, (1) that Jesus' hour of glory had come, (2) that the hour of His judgement had come, and (3), the hour of His decision had come. Craig pointed out that this time defined Jesus' mission, and ours as well. His application was to believe that these verses contain the truth, because this is what Jesus had come to earth to accomplish. This was the crucial event that so many people had foretold.

As he reads from John 12:12-19, Craig makes the point that Jesus is (1) sent for "more that me and more than we", (2) sent to do His will and not ours, and (3) sent to conquer death and resurrection and bring peace to the nations.

Craig reads the entire story of the Resurrection from Matthew 27:62-28:15, looking at the story through the eyes of the guards who watched over the tomb and the women who gathered at the tomb on Sunday morning.

In this particular passage, Jesus uses food (feeding the 5,000) and water (walking on water) to point us to His life-giving power.

While it may seem strange that a story of a lame man being healed appears in this chapter of John, Pete explains the significance of this story. Looking back at Craig’s introduction to this series, we remember that John’s purpose in writing is that (1) we may believe that Jesus is the Christ and (2) that by believing we may have new life.

In John 4:43-54 we see two different pictures of faith. The first is a shallow faith that is based on what we get out of God’s works, while the second is based on true belief in the power and work of God. Genuine faith trusts in the word of Christ. Sun, 20 Mar 2011 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149219 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149218 This week Craig Cabaniss preaches the ninth sermon in our series, "Sent." As we read the story of the woman at the well, Craig explains the cultural context to give a better picture of how unconventional Jesus's actions were. Jesus's concern for the woman's soul is greater than the need for social regulations. Craig also shows that Jesus outlines the priority and urgency of his mission.

Looking at Paul's description of Abraham's faith, Dave makes three points: Abraham believed in the promise, embraced the circumstance, and sustained the trust. Although Abraham came across many road blocks in his sojourn, God was faithful to keep His promises.

The focus of this week’s sermon is how Jesus gives new life as a better baptizer than John the Baptist. Jesus is superior in at least three ways: His priority, power, and position.

This week we read John 3:1-21, the story of Nicodemus. In this passage, Jesus deals with two topics that are vital to know God; new birth and new life through Christ. As Christ speaks with Nicodemus, He makes it abundantly clear that we do not know God through our religious duty or our own knowledge. Sun, 20 Feb 2011 05:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149216 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149215 This week, Craig Cabaniss preaches the sixth sermon in our series “Sent”. As we read from John 2:13-25, Craig explains the reason behind Jesus’ cleansing of the temple. As the merchants and venders filled the temple courts, they crowded the worship place of the gentiles. Therefore, this cleansing of the temple was more than just a cleansing. It was also a renewal of corporate worship. Sun, 13 Feb 2011 05:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149215 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149214 This week, Craig Cabaniss preaches the fifth sermon in our series “Sent”. In the first twelve verses of John chapter two, John records the first of Jesus’ signs; turning water into wine. This event signifies that the joy has come. It showed people that Jesus was the awaited Messiah.

As he read from John 1:19-51, Craig makes the point that the heart of Christian witness is introducing people to Jesus, the One who changes lives. Sun, 30 Jan 2011 05:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149213 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149212 This week, Craig Cabaniss preaches the second sermon in our series “Sent”. As he read from John 1:6-18, Craig makes the point that Jesus points us to God so we might believe. If you want to know God, look at Jesus. From this, Craig makes three points: (1) a witness to the light, (2) response to the light, and (3) Jesus reveals the light.

Reading from John 1:1-5, Craig explains that John is making the point that the Jesus of history is, in fact, the Creator God of eternity. Craig focuses on verses 1 through 5, John’s introductory description of Jesus. Sun, 16 Jan 2011 05:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149211 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149210 This week Craig Cabaniss begins our series on the gospel of John with an introduction. In this introduction, Craig explains that the Bible is written to reveal God. The gospels in particular are written to reveal the person and work of Christ. If we looking at John 20:30-31 we see that John wrote this gospel so that we may know and believe. Craig outlines the background of this gospel. (1) The nature of the gospel of John, (2) the purpose of the gospel of John, and (3) the fruit of the gospel of John. Sun, 09 Jan 2011 05:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149210 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149172 As we enter this New Year, Rob Tombrella addresses the topic of success and blessings in the New Year. Many people make dozens of resolutions this time of year with every intention of fulfilling them. However, our success does not come through the completion of those resolutions. Our success and blessings come through God. Looking at Psalms 1 Rob outlines (1) the choices of the blessed over the wicked, (2) the results of those choices, and (3) the consequences.

Looking at another portion of Luke chapter 2, Craig outlines the three responses seen in this passage. (1) Mary’s response of treasuring and pondering. (2) The shepherds’ response of glorifying. (3) And everyone’s response of returning to normal life, yet changed by the “good news of glad tidings.” The gospel is to lead us to treasuring and glorifying even in everyday life.

Specifically, he looks at the passage in Luke where the angel tells the shepherds of Christ’s birth. Jesus Christ is where we look to see the glory of God. Content Copyright 2006-2010 Grace Church.

Specifically, the motive of Jesus’ ministry: compassion. The last paragraph of Matthew 9 reveals Jesus’ motive in reaching out to the lost. His compassion for us causes Him to rescue us. Being our great Shepherd, He leads us and protects us. It is this compassion that should deeply effect us. Christ’s compassionate care for people should lead us to compassionate prayer for people. From this, Craig draws three applications: (1) pray, (2) reach, and (3) give. Content Copyright 2006-2010 Grace Church.

Looking at Psalm 136, Craig explains that this is a psalm of thanks that draws examples from history. However, this history is very significant because it is Israel’s salvation History. The psalmist specifically thanks God for four of his attributes which He has revealed to His people. First, the psalmist thanks God the Ruler. Second, he thanks God the Creator. Third, he thanks God the Rescuer. And lastly, he thanks God the Provider. To finish, the psalmist recaps by reminding us to give thanks. Content Copyright 2006-2010 Grace Church.

Here, He cries out for unity among His followers: the body of Christ. Craig explains the importance of this unity, “Our unity is mission critical to letting the world know about Jesus.” Craig analyzes this prayer through three main points: (1) Who Is Jesus Praying For, (2) What Is Jesus Praying For, and (3) Why Is Jesus Praying This?

This week, he spoke about the primary goal of community: maturity in Christ. Craig explains that there are three “movements” in this text, (1) Christ goes up, (2) The gifts come down, (3) So that the church may grow up. In order to mature together, we must “truth” in love.

This week, he continues that idea by teaching on maintaining unity in the community. Craig explains that there are three points to maintaining this unity in light of what Christ has done for us. First, we are to walk humbly. Second, we are to walk gently. And lastly, we are to walk patiently bearing with one another in love. The ability to live in unity in the body of Christ comes only from the amazing work of God through Christ's death on the cross. Content Copyright 2006-2010 Grace Church.

Craig makes two key points in the message: 1) the experience of unity and 2) God is at work in unity. As the message develops, Craig covers some personal experiences on how churches have split and how we have unity when we don't have uniformity and the difference between the two (in both principle and practice). Craig gives education as a practical illustration of the point. The congregation ended the message with communion. Content Copyright 2006-2010 Grace Church.

Psalm 115:1 states, “Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!” Craig explains that the words “steadfast love” in this passage describes God’s enduring faithfulness. The Lord has truly been faithful to Grace Church and glory to Him for His steadfast love. Content Copyright 2006-2010 Grace Church.

He shared from Romans 12:9-16. This week he spoke about authentic or genuine love in the context of community. This genuine love is to be without hypocrisy. This love is to be with brotherly affection. This is characterized by loyalty and commitment. This love should compel us to outdo one another in showing honor. Craig took the scripture "Rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep" and showed how genuine love should connect deeply and unselfishly with others.

The following verses are a kind of application of this transformation. They speak of living out our transformed lives in the context of community. Craig makes these three points: grace leads us to think soberly about ourselves, grace leads us to think soberly about community, and grace leads us to live out our gifts in community. Therefore, grace of God is here. We are living out our transformed lives in community by the grace of God. Content Copyright 2006-2010 Grace Church.

For others, joy may be present in life by the grace of God. But every person at one point in time or another experiences the fight for joy that is expressed in Psalm 42 and 43. Bob Kauflin, our guest speaker this week, teaches us about this battle in his sermon titled, “The Fight for Joy.” Bob begins by making the point that in our fight for joy, God himself is our only hope. Bob uses these chapters as an example of the three stages of the fight for joy. Those stages are remembering joy, pursuing joy, and expecting joy. Content Copyright 2006-2010 Grace Church.

The great Redwoods of California have a root system that interconnects to one-another, allowing them to grow exceedingly large. Craig Cabaniss uses these and other illustrations in this, the third installment on Community. Using Hebrews 10 as the text, Craig shows the importance of showing up, being in the moment and engaging with one-another in a shared-life, as we look to Jesus, our great high priest. Your spiritual growth is tied to your engagement with others. Also, embedded in the text is the counter-culture idea of your participation not as a consumer, but as a giver, a contributor, an encourager, provoking and spurring one another on to love and good works.

Craig Cabaniss, Lead Pastor of Grace Church, explores a series of verse that reinforce the idea of Community, in this second installment on the topic, the focus is on the Community of Love.

Using Acts 2, Craig Cabaniss, Lead Pastor of Grace Church, shows the four elements at the start of the church. This is the first installment of a series on Community. Verses focused on are Acts 2:17, 41-46. The Scriptures show the start is with our constant dependency. If you are expecting a message on getting community “buy in” and “vision casting” so we can work harder, you may find this message surprising. Content Copyright 2006-2010 Grace Church.

Josh shows how God is not “the Cosmic Kill-Joy”; but just the opposite. Using 1 John 2:28-3:3, Josh gives many illustrations inspired from the text to bring to life the Scripture to aid you in being freshly grateful. Content Copyright 2006-2010 Grace Church.

What do you live for? Pastor Rob Tombrella highlights these important question, answering them from the message text of 2 Corinthians 5:11-21. Rob shows how the active agent starts with a work of God – going back to 2 Cor 4:6-11. In the message Rob answers the apparent paradox from the key verse; are you motivated by fear or love to persuade men? Who is given the ministry of reconciliation and what does that look like?

Primarily using Deuteronomy 6:1-12, Craig shows how the gospel applies to church kids in a message titled, “Evangelizing Your Child”. Craig illustrates how the biblical text starts with the parents seeking to know, love and serve the living God and the overflow results in the Holy Spirit’s exclusive work of conversion. The verses show the privilege and responsibility parents have, with help coming from the local church and other sources. Craig shows from the Scripture how regular life is your pulpit as a parent. Even your mistakes are used to point to your mutual need as you live-out the gospel with and before others – including your children. Awareness of God’s holiness – His “otherness” – is shown from the text as essential. Craig even shares the work of God in his life as he observed the obedience, faithfulness and god-fearing reverence of his mother.

This week’s installment is about the meaning and practice. The five points are: I. What is the meaning of baptism? II. Who should be baptized? III. What is the purpose of baptism? IV. When should a person be baptized? and finally, V. Who should conduct baptisms? Craig shows from the Scriptures that baptism primarily signifies a Christian’s union with Jesus Christ. Beyond that central point, baptism also signifies the believer’s forgiveness of sin.

Using 2 Corinthians 11:30-12:10 we see that parenting is used by God to 1) display our weakness and God's strength, 2) take our boasting and convert it, and 3) point families to the Savior. Sun, 27 Sep 2009 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149097 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149134 Craig Cabaniss preaches the second sermon in our "Pure Religion" series. In James 1:5-8 we see that God is eager to give wisdom to those who ask expectedly. Sun, 20 Sep 2009 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149134 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149133 Craig Cabaniss begins a new series on the book of James entitled "Pure Religion." The type of questions James is concerned with is, what difference does knowing God make in your life? Pure Religion is to believe truth and to respond to that truth with the evidence of a changed life. Sun, 13 Sep 2009 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149133 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149129 Craig Cabaniss preaches the final message of our Genesis series. In Genesis 50 we see God's purposes fulfilled. Joseph is merciful towards his brothers because what they meant for evil, God meant for good. Sun, 16 Aug 2009 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149129 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149128 Rob Tombrella preaches a message from Genesis 49. We see in the life of Jacob that promise after promise has changed this man, who was a deceiver, into someone who's trusting in the promises of God. Sun, 09 Aug 2009 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149128 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149127 Craig Cabaniss preaches a message from Genesis 49. Jacob is giving blessings to his sons. In his blessing to Judah we see a picture of a coming king, Christ. Sun, 02 Aug 2009 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149127 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149126 Craig Cabaniss preaches a message from Genesis 48. This chapter is a picture of Jacob being overwhelmed by the character of God and passing that along to the next generation. Sun, 26 Jul 2009 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149126 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149125 Craig Cabaniss preaches a message from Genesis 47. We see Joseph bring his father, Jacob, before Pharaoh.

We see the promise that God is with His people wherever they go. Sun, 12 Jul 2009 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149124 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149123 Craig Cabaniss preaches a message from Genesis 45. In this chapter we see God's sovereignty displayed. Joseph reveals to his brothers who he really is. We see that God is faithful even though Joseph's brothers had sinned against him. Sun, 05 Jul 2009 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149123 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149122 Craig Cabaniss preaches a message from Genesis 44. In this chapter we see God at work changing the heart of Joseph's brother, Judah.

Imitation is a good thing when you are imitating God. Sun, 21 Jun 2009 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149096 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149121 Craig Cabaniss preaches a message from Genesis 43. In this chapter we see Joseph exemplify the mercy that God has shown him. Sun, 14 Jun 2009 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149121 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149120 Rob Tombrella preaches a message from Genesis 42. Do you ever wonder if God is for you or against you based on your circumstances? In this chapter we see that God 1. Remembers His people, 2. Convicts His people and 3. Provides for His people. Sun, 07 Jun 2009 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149120 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149119 Craig Cabaniss preaches a message from Genesis 41. Continuing our study on the life of Joseph, we see that in God's sovereign rule, He has the ability to change things instantly. Sun, 31 May 2009 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149119 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149118 Craig Cabaniss preaches a message from Genesis 40. As Craig points out, the truth of scripture is that God often works most powerfully when He seems to be absent. Sun, 24 May 2009 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149118 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149117 Craig Cabaniss preaches a message from Genesis 39. This is a story of God working faithfully through the lives of His people. Sun, 17 May 2009 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149117 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149095 Craig Cabaniss preaches a Mother's Day message from Psalm 121. Sun, 10 May 2009 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149095 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149116 Pete Payne preaches our next message in Genesis. In Genesis 38 we take a detour away from the story of Joseph. The content in this chapter is of a mature nature, so please be advised that it may not be appropriate for some children. In Genesis 38 we see that God is faithful to keep His word by, 1. Watching over all His people, 2. Watching over each one of us, and 3. Watching over the seed of the woman. Through this we find ourselves asking questions. Are you asking the correct questions? Sun, 03 May 2009 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149116 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149094 Guest preacher Billy Raies preaches a message from Joshua 8:30-35 reminding us why we gather. Sun, 26 Apr 2009 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149094 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149115 Craig Cabaniss preaches a message from Genesis 37. This is the first message in a series on the life of Josheph. In the pages of scripture we find that even when our circumstances are difficult, even when the ways of God are unclear, even when we are more aware of God's absence (His seeming absent) than we are of His actual presence, that even in those situations, God is at work. We see this in the life of Joseph. Sun, 19 Apr 2009 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149115 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149093 Craig Cabaniss preaches our Easter message. He is risen. He is risen indeed! Sun, 12 Apr 2009 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149093 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149114 Craig Cabaniss preaches the 11th and final message of our "Relentless" series. In Genesis 35 we see a story of God's relentless grace, fulfilling His promises for those who He chooses in spite of all the sins of Jacob and his family. We see Jacob repenting and turning towards God. In all of our lives, the fruit of God's grace is being brought to repentance. Sun, 05 Apr 2009 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149114 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149092 Guest speaker Toby Kurth preaches a message titled, "Don't Waste Your Mess." Using Proverbs 14:4, Toby asks the question, "is your spiritual life supposed to be messy?" The answer is, Yes. We need to see that if there's going to be real spiritual work going on, that is God is going to be at work in our lives and at work in the lives of those around us, then there's going to be mess going on. Sun, 29 Mar 2009 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149092 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149113 Craig Cabaniss preaches the 10th message of our "Relentless" series. In Genesis 34 we read a horrific account of Jacob's life while in Shechem. When we read this story, we say if God is going to bring rescue to fallen humanity, if God is going to work through this mess, it's going to be the grace of God that brings salvation and not the work of man. Sun, 22 Mar 2009 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149113 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149112 Craig Cabaniss preaches the 9th message of our "Relentless" series. In Genesis 33 we see the reconciliation of Jacob and Esau. This passage is about restitution and putting the past behind and beginning afresh. In the previous chapter we saw Jacob wrestle with God and come to realize his need for dependence on Him. Vertical repentance, being right with God, precedes horizontal repentance, being right with others. Sun, 15 Mar 2009 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149112 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149111 Craig Cabaniss preaches the 8th message of our "Relentless" series. In Genesis 32 we read that Jacob plans to meet Esau. What Jacob doesn't plan for is to be assaulted by God's grace. Like Jacob, often we have in view something that we say is a big deal in our lives, but often God has something else in view. Sun, 08 Mar 2009 05:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149111 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149110 Rob Tombrella preaches the 7th message of our "Relentless" series. In Genesis 30:25-31:55 we continue the story of Jacob and see an account that entailed deception, distress, more deception and then deliverance. Do you ever find yourself living with a "Plan B" in mind? Sun, 01 Mar 2009 05:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149110 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149109 Craig Cabaniss preaches the 6th message of our "Relentless" series. In Genesis 30 we read about Jacob's sons being born. Through this passage, we see how God is fulfilling His purposes through sinners without ever endorsing sinful actions. Sun, 22 Feb 2009 05:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149109 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149091 Grace Church Frisco Care Groups recently went through evangelism training. This is a testimony from Jonathon Sawyer. Sun, 15 Feb 2009 05:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149091 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149108 Rob Tombrella preaches the 5th message of our "Relentless" series. In Genesis 29 we see that God works through the failure of Jacob's independence and his dullness towards God. Sun, 15 Feb 2009 05:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149108 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149107 Craig Cabaniss preaches the 4th message of our "Relentless" series. In Genesis 28 we read that Jacob encounters the grace of God. Like Jacob, when we encounter God's grace He says to us that wherever you go, whether you sin or mess up, I am pursing you and I am with you and I will keep you and I will fulfill My purposes in you. Sun, 08 Feb 2009 05:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149107 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149106 Craig Cabaniss preaches the 3rd message of our "Relentless" series. In Genesis 27 we read the story about the deception around Isaac's blessing for one of his sons. We see that God will fulfill His purposes through sinners and that there is no sin that can derail God's redemptive plan. Sun, 01 Feb 2009 05:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149106 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149090 Grace Church Frisco Care Groups recently went through evangelism training. This is a testimony from Eileen Elledge. Sun, 25 Jan 2009 05:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149090 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149105 Craig Cabaniss preaches the 2nd message of our "Relentless" series. In Genesis 26 we learn about Jacob's father, Isaac. What is the theme of this chapter? God blesses Isaac with His presence. For those of us who are God's children, His promise is that He is with us. we are not alone. Sun, 25 Jan 2009 05:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149105 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149104 Craig Cabaniss preaches the 1st message of our new sermon series, "Relentless." Relentless means unyielding, never ceasing and it can't be stopped. It is persistent in the face of resistance. The word relentless in biblical terms has more to do with the grace of God than it does human effort. God is relentless in His pursuit of saving a people. In Genesis 25:19-34 we are introduced to Jacob. Sun, 18 Jan 2009 05:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149104 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149103 Guest speaker Dave Harvey preaches the 3rd and final message of our mini series in Philippians. In a message titled "Quest for Contentment," Dave shows us in Philippians 4:11-13 that God teaches us that we are to be content in whatever situation we are in. As Dave points out, this message is summed up by a quote from the Puritan Thomas Watson, "If you have not what you desire, you have more than you deserve." Sun, 11 Jan 2009 05:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149103 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149089 Dave Harvey is the guest speaker at a Grace Church Frisco Men's Breakfast meeting. Using John 12:27-43, Dave preaches a message on not wasting your ambition. He points out that we chase after what we love. We pursue what we value. Ambitions should lead us to explore new paths and new opportunities to glorify God. Sat, 10 Jan 2009 05:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149089 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149102 Craig Cabaniss preaches the 2nd message of our mini series in Philippians. Tying into the time of year where people make New Year's resolutions, using Philippians 3:12-14, Craig shows us our goals should not be the end of 2009, but rather eternal. Where is God calling you to press on? Sun, 04 Jan 2009 05:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149102 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149101 Guest speaker Jon Payne preaches a message from Philippians 1:27-30. How do you live in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ? Sun, 28 Dec 2008 05:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149101 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149060 Craig Cabaniss preaches a message from Luke 2:1-7 about the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Sun, 21 Dec 2008 05:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149060 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149088 Craig Cabaniss preaches the 5th and final message of our "Think Big" series. In Mark 8:34-38 we see that living beyond ourselves is at the very heart of the Christian life. In this passage, Jesus is laying out a description for a disciple. He is describing what discipleship is all about. Sun, 14 Dec 2008 05:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149088 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149087 Craig Cabaniss preaches the 4th message of our "Think Big" series. This week is a continuation of Matthew 6, living for the Kingdom of God. In vs. 25-34 we are called not to be anxious or worry. What we worry about tells us which kingdom we are pursuing, my needs or God's reign. Sun, 07 Dec 2008 05:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149087 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149086 Craig Cabaniss preaches the 3rd message of our "Think Big" series. In Matthew 6:19-24, we see that we are to live for God with a single devotion, an undivided heart. Sun, 30 Nov 2008 05:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149086 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149085 Pete Payne preaches the 2nd message of our "Think Big" series. In Philippians 4:4-9, we see that praying big prayers and thinking big thoughts prepares us to live big lives enjoying the peace and the presence of God. Sun, 23 Nov 2008 05:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149085 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149084 Craig Cabaniss preaches the first message of our new series, "Think Big." This new series is on thinking about the greatness of God. To think big thoughts that are more in line with the nature of our God and to live a life in response to who He is, which is not only thinking big about God, but also living big by what the Bible defines as a big life. Using Genesis 3:1-7, Craig brings us a foundational message, a visionary overview, on living a life for something bigger than ourselves. Sun, 16 Nov 2008 05:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149084 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149083 Rob Tombrella preaches the 8th message of our "Atonement" series. We see in 2 Corinthians 5:11-21 that Paul is taking on the false teachers and prophets who are saying that trusting in Christ is not enough. They are saying you need to be a good Sabbath keeper, have circumcision, have all the ritual laws of the old law, etc. Basically they start to say that how you work and the things that you do in front of God makes you acceptable to God. Paul is writing this passage to cut down the lie that says the finished work of Christ on the cross is not enough. Paul tells us that if anyone is in Christ they are a new creation (v.17). Paul's burden is to show that God, through the gospel, has given His people a new power, a new peace and a new purpose. Sun, 09 Nov 2008 05:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149083 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149082 Craig Cabaniss preaches the 7th message of our “Atonement" series. In Revelation 5 there is a vision that highlights the truth of the atonement, which is Jesus died for sinners. This vision is the ultimate goal of the atonement. It is why Jesus does what He does so that we, His people, will be gathered around His throne worshipping Him forever. Sun, 02 Nov 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149082 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149081 Craig Cabaniss preaches the 6th message of our “Atonement” series. In 1 John 4:7-12 we see that God is love and He calls us to love one another. To fully understand God’s love for us we must first understand His wrath that we were saved from. He sent His son to be the propitiation (sacrifice) for our sins. Sun, 26 Oct 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149081 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149080 Craig Cabaniss preaches the 5th message of our "Atonement" series. This week's passage, Romans 5:1-11, highlights that Christ's loving sacrifice makes us right with God forever. We see the motivation for this sacrifice in vs. 8, "God shows His love for us that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." It is because of His profound love for us that He makes amends for us and justified us by the blood of Christ.

Using Isaiah 52:13-53:12, Pete shows us that it is the brutality of God's wrath that serves as the greatest reminder of the amazing love of God. Sun, 12 Oct 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149079 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149078 Craig Cabaniss preaches the 3rd message of our “Atonement” series. Craig takes a look at the mission of Jesus Christ. In Mark 10:45 we see that the Son of Man came to serve and to give His life as a ransom for many. Jesus ransoms us from our sins so that we may serve others. Sun, 05 Oct 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149078 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149059 Guest speaker Jim Donohue preaches a message on evangelism from 1 Peter 2:1-12. The point of this passage is that God has made us His people to proclaim His Excellencies. We do this by, 1) speaking the message of the gospel and 2) living in line with the gospel. Sun, 28 Sep 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149059 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149077 Craig Cabaniss preaches the 2nd message of our "Atonement" series. This message is from Leviticus 16. The book of Leviticus deals with laws and regulations regarding what makes a person clean or unclean before God. Culturally the book of Leviticus is very distant from us today, but the overall meaning of what's happening is extremely relevant and accessible because the point of the book is that once the people of God are freed, and now can worship God, the question becomes how can a holy God dwell in the midst of a sinful people. How can a sinful people come before a holy God and worship? The answer is through atonement. God himself makes amends for us through His son. Craig points out that we could not do a series on atonement without looking at Leviticus 16, which is about the Hebrew Day of Atonement, and then looking at what it points forward to in Jesus Christ. Sun, 21 Sep 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149077 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149076 Craig Cabaniss preaches the first sermon in a new series on the atonement. Today's passage is Exodus 12. As Craig points out, atonement is a central theme in scripture and that there is no greater need in our lives. Atonement means restoring a broken relationship by making amends for a wrong, by satisfying an injured party and bringing restoration to a relationship. From the beginning of scripture we realize we have a broken relationship with God because of our sin. We do not have the ability to make amends on our own. The glorious message of the Bible is that God makes amends by the act of atoning for our sins Himself in the person of Jesus Christ. Sun, 14 Sep 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149076 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149058 Craig Cabaniss preaches a message reminding us that when God calls us He builds us into His people. We are part of the people of God and we walk out this commitment in a local church. Church is not the building we go to on Sunday mornings, but rather it is the relational community of the people gathered who share Christ in common. Craig points out that meeting doesn’t guarantee that genuine fellowship will happen. We must engage ourselves in the lives of the people who make up our local church. For Grace Church, the primary means of cultivating fellowship and building relationships is through our small groups, which are called Care Groups. Craig draws our attention to several passages in scripture where we are called to, “one another.” Sun, 07 Sep 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149058 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149075 Rob Tombrella preaches the 13th and final message of our "Summer of Psalms." Rob shares a fear of his and transitions into Psalm 27 written by David who was well acquainted with darkness, terror and a great need in his life. In Psalm 27 we see David cry out for God to reveal something to him in a tangible and personal way. We see the one thing that set David free from the fear of all things. How does David describe his fear in this psalm? What is the one thing he pursues in his fear? How does he pursue it? These are questions that Rob asks us to consider and shows us how the answers apply to us today. Sun, 31 Aug 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149075 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149074 Rob Tombrella preaches the 12th message of our "Summer of Psalms." Rob shows us there is a great call to worship in Psalm 96. We see that the greatness of God demands an appropriate response in worship. Sun, 24 Aug 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149074 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149073 Craig Cabaniss preaches the 11th message of our "Summer of Psalms." Psalm 126 is a response to God when life is going well. It is a reminder that God is going to meet us. In vs. 3 we read, "The Lord has done great things for us" and using this psalm Craig makes an exciting announcement about the future of Grace Church Frisco. Sun, 17 Aug 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149073 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149072 Craig Cabaniss preaches the 10th message of our "Summer of Psalms," As Craig shows us, Psalm 130 is a psalm about waiting on God. Sun, 10 Aug 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149072 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149071 Pete Payne preaches the 9th message of our "Summer of Psalms." Psalm 1 is a wisdom and teaching psalm and it's about two ways of living, the righteous and the wicked. Pete shows us God's formula for His people at that time, 1. Promise, 2. Pursuit, 3. Prize and 4. Proclamation. The psalm opens with, "Blessed is the man," and Pete explains that this man is Jesus Christ. Because of this, today we should read this psalm first as a proclamation and realize the formula for us is now in the reverse order. Sun, 03 Aug 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149071 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149070 Craig Cabaniss preaches the 8th message of our "Summer of Psalms." Psalm 13 is a psalm of lament, an authentic expression. In the psalm we see that David has three sections, 1. His distress, 2. Prayer and 3. Trusting in God's steadfast love. As Craig points out, we should acknowledge our need, cry out to God in prayer and trust, turning to the gospel and fixing our eyes in hope on Jesus Christ in what He has done for us. Sun, 27 Jul 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149070 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149069 Rob Tombrella preaches the seventh message of our "Summer of Psalms." In Psalm 19 we see how someone gets a divine perspective and maintains it. The author, David, demonstrates how he trusts God. His faith comes from the fact that God has revealed Himself to us through creation and His word. Rob asks, "how much do you value God and His word?" What are you tempted by that can distract you from keeping God your first priority? Sun, 20 Jul 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149069 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149068 Guest speaker Eric Hughes, who is on the pastoral staff at the Sovereign Grace church in Virginia Beach, VA, preaches the sixth message of our "Summer of Psalms." In Psalm 73 we see the author has lost his focus from God and become envious of the non-believers prosperity. He feels the wicked have the good life. But, what is the definition of the good life apart from God? Eric asks us, "What thing would make your life good right now?" and then points out that seeing what God sees changes how you see everything. The psalmist regains his focus and in vs. 25 states, "Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on this earth that I desire besides you." When God allows you to see what He sees, that's divine perspective. Sun, 13 Jul 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149068 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149067 Craig Cabaniss preaches the fifth message of our "Summer of Psalms." In Psalm 24, David begins with the reality that God owns everything because He created everything. In light of this and that God has set a righteous standard, David continues with a question, "Who can come before God?" In vs. 5, David writes, there is a righteousness that can be received from God. When we turn from our sin and trust in Jesus Christ we receive this righteousness from God. David closes with a responsive reading declaring the King of glory is coming bringing victory. This psalm directly addresses our lives with the promise that the one who came the first time allowing us to receive righteousness is also the same King of glory that is coming back for His people and will make everything right. Sun, 06 Jul 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149067 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149066 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? Sun, 29 Jun 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149066 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149065 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. Sun, 22 Jun 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149065 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149064 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. Sun, 15 Jun 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149064 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149063 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). Sun, 08 Jun 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149063 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149049 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. Sun, 01 Jun 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149049 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149057 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. Sun, 25 May 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149057 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149048 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." Sun, 18 May 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149048 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149056 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. Sun, 11 May 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149056 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149047 Nearing the finish of the book of 1 Timothy, Craig Cabaniss preaches Part 18 using verses 3-10 of chapter 6. Craig teaches that contentment is one of the most counter culture messages in the Christian life, passing on the warning from Scripture about wanting to be rich, Craig highlights the balance between desires for improvement and biblical contentment. Sun, 04 May 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149047 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149046 Craig Cabaniss preaches Part 17 in our sermon series in 1 Timothy. Using verses 6:1-2, Craig teaches that we are to represent God with our behavior at work. Do we see our time at work as an opportunity for witness and honoring God? Sun, 27 Apr 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149046 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149045 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. Sun, 20 Apr 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149045 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149044 Craig Cabaniss brings us Part 15 in our sermon series on 1 Timothy. In 1 Timothy 5:1-16, Craig teaches on how we are to practically express mercy to those in need in our family at home and as well as to our church family. Sun, 13 Apr 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149044 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149043 Craig Cabaniss preaches part 14 from our sermon series in 1 Timothy. In vs. 11-16 Paul sets forth things that he wants Timothy to do until he returns. Paul instructs Timothy to pay close attention to his life and doctrine and to live his life in a way that reflects the gospel's power in his life. Sun, 06 Apr 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149043 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149055 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)?" Sun, 30 Mar 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149055 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149061 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. Sat, 29 Mar 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149061 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149062 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. Sat, 29 Mar 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149062 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149054 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. Sun, 23 Mar 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149054 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149042 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. Sun, 16 Mar 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149042 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149041 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. Sun, 09 Mar 2008 05:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149041 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149040 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. Sun, 02 Mar 2008 05:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149040 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149039 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. Sun, 24 Feb 2008 05:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149039 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149038 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. Sun, 17 Feb 2008 05:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149038 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149037 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. Sun, 10 Feb 2008 05:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149037 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149036 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. Sun, 03 Feb 2008 05:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149036 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149035 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. Sun, 27 Jan 2008 05:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149035 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149053 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.” Sun, 20 Jan 2008 05:00:00 GMT http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149053 http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=258347&programId=149052 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.
