Josh McPherson

 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!

Barnabas ("son of encouragement") is a man few know about, but all have been impacted by. He was Paul's right-hand man who played an integral role in his discipleship. In this sermon on Acts 11:19-30, Pastor Josh shows us why all of us should strive to follow Barnabas' example. Support the showThanks for listening!

God wants you to have a critical mind, not a critical spirit. Unfortunately, “Christian discernment bloggers” is code word for Jerk, and criticizing the church has become a budding cottage industry. Pick on a church and you’re sure to gain a following. But the spirit of the critic originated from the first Critic, Satan himself, and when we become critical, we pull hell up into our relationships. In this sermon Pastor Josh unpacks the difference between the spirit of the critic, the work of the prophetic, and how to cultivate discernment without becoming a life-sucking critic to yourself and relationships around you.Support the showThanks for listening!

Part 2 of Pastor Josh McPherson's sermon on Acts Chapter 10.From HR departments across the land to school administrations and legislation, the unholy trinity of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion has become the doctrinal backbone of the new state religion of wokeism—the secular orthodoxy that cannot be questioned or challenged. But the new woke religion is no more than new packaging on the oldest false religion, which started in Genesis 3 when the serpent said, ‘Eat and you can become like God.’In this pull-no-punches sermon, Pastor Josh brings a prophetic word exposing the attractive lie of DEI and unpacking the power of the truly diverse, equitable, and inclusive Gospel of Jesus Christ. Support the showThanks for listening!
