 Bartimaeus was a nobody. A blind beggar. But Jesus passed by, heard him cry out, and stopped. Jesus saw him, called him, loved him and healed him. In this sermon Pastor Adam unpacks Jesus’ healing of blind Bartimaeus in Mark chapter 10. Where do you find your sense of significance? The world, and even the disciples, often desire to be seen by others, but Bartimaeus simply wanted to see and be seen by Jesus. He cried out in humble faith, believing Jesus was the Messiah, the “Son of David,” and it changed everything. Be encouraged, Jesus still passes by, still hears, still stops, and still saves! Support the showThanks for listening! Go to www.StrongerManNation.com for more resources.

How do you bolster your hope and strength in the face of discouragement and overwhelming situations? Never forget the freedom Jesus came to bring. In this sermon from Luke 8:26-39, Pastor Adam looks at an incredible story of Jesus setting a demon-possessed man free. Be reminded of the life-changing power and love of Jesus, as well as the destructive but doomed plans of Satan. Whom the Son sets free is free indeed!Support the showThanks for listening!

The gospel is the most important thing people need to hear. But how do we—who know it is true—share it with people who don't? They might think it's an intolerant, narrow-minded, or even bigoted message. Pastor Larry Osborne uses a common theme from the Gospel of John to share five simple things for us to keep in mind when it's time to share the good news of Jesus Christ.Support the showThanks for listening!

 There is a LOT happening in Chapter 14.  The Apostle Paul & Barnabas are on the road and preaching powerfully & effectively so that many believe. Paul & Barnabas even have to correct a crowd who tries to designate them as gods when they witness Paul heal a lame man. But as Pastor Josh points out - whenever there is a mighty work of God, the enemy attacks. From unholy alliances to mobs who thought they had stoned Paul to death, to getting right back onto the preaching field, Chapter 14 is a great reminder that in this life we will have trouble, but we who believe can take heart because Jesus has overcome the world. Support the showThanks for listening!

 Easter 2023 was historic at Grace City. On a weekend in which we ribbon-cut our new Atrium and baptized more people than we did in all of 2022, Pastor Josh brought a prophetic word for our troubled culture from the obscure book of Ezekiel. In a vivid vision of the state of Israel, God leads His prophet Ezekiel to a desolate valley full of human dry bones. This is Israel. She has lost her national identity and abandoned faith in God. She is mired in corruption, sexual perversion, & moral decadence. Her soul is dead. Looking out over so much death and carnage, God asks the central question of humanity, ”Can these dry bones live?”The answer changes everything. God moved powerfully in the hearts of all who heard His answer thunder from Heaven on Easter Sunday, 2023, and we pray He would do the same for you as you listen to this sermon and hear Heaven’s Prophet, the risen Christ, declare over your life, ”Dry bones…Live!”  Jesus Is Revival. Support the showThanks for listening!
