[Sunday] Psalm 23: The Lord is - Richer

Psalm 23 is a beautiful song of trust, declaring true freedom, daily provision, and a grace that aggressively pursues us in every season of life.

Psalm 23 is a beautiful song of trust, declaring true freedom, daily provision, and a grace that aggressively pursues us in every season of life.



Questions for the Week: Psalm 23 - The Lord is

  1. Read Psalm 23: It is usually read at funerals, but it helps us trust God every single day. Which part of Psalm 23 brings you the most comfort on a normal, average day?

  2. The Israelites had manna from heaven but still complained that they lacked meat, even wishing to go back to slavery. Where in your life do you struggle with a scarcity mindset, believing that God hasn't given you enough?

  3. When faced with the "presence of our enemies" or dark valleys, our instinct is to fight, defend ourselves, or take control. How does the image of Jesus calmly setting a table for you in the middle of chaos change how you handle conflict?

  4. The Hebrew word for "follow" (as in "goodness and mercy shall follow me") means to aggressively pursue or chase down. How does it feel to know that God is actively chasing you with grace, rather than you having to constantly pursue Him?

Guys Night At Lefty’s in July 26

"Had such a great time meeting up with everyone at Lefty’s in PSL. We were a rowdy crew for sure, but that just added to the fun! Lots of laughs trying to read Paul’s mind and great conversation all around. Can’t wait for next month!"

[Sunday] All things Good - 2 Kings 9-10 & Romans 8:28 - Foolish Wisdom

"All things work together for good." What does this famous promise actually mean? God brings true good, not through our overzealous striving, but through the empty tomb.

"All things work together for good." What does this famous promise actually mean? God brings true good, not through our overzealous striving, but through the empty tomb.

Questions for the Week: Naaman: All Things Good

  1. Read Romans 8:18-39.  We often think Romans 8:28 means "everything will work out good" or "if I do good, God will bless me." How does reading this verse in the context of suffering and human failure change how you understand God's promise?

  2. Read 2 Kings Chapters 9 and 10.  Jehu was incredibly proud of his violent zeal for the Lord, but it ended up destroying his own people. Where have you seen "righteous zeal" (in parenting, marriage, or politics) go too far and end up damaging relationships?

  3. When Elisha's servant anointed Jehu, he added his own angry words to God's command, which fueled Jehu's rampage. How much of our own "zealous" action is actually driven by God's Word, and how much is driven by the angry, polarized voices we surround ourselves with?

  4. Our human zeal is so destructive that it literally crucified Jesus. Yet, God used that exact moment of darkness to bring good to you and the world. How does knowing that God can bring life out of our worst messes give you peace in your current struggles?

Vicar Claubert is Moved in and Lots happening around Grace [Photos]

A Busy and Blessed Week at Grace!

A Busy and Great Week at Grace! 🌟

  • Last Monday, Vicar Claubert signed his lease and moved into his new rental house. Since then, we’ve been keeping him incredibly busy as he attends Bible studies and learns the ins and outs of week-to-week life here at Grace.

  • On Thursday, Pam and Mike teamed up to pull up the old bushes around the property, and Vicar Claubert jumped right in to help! They are hard at work making way for some beautiful new landscaping.

  • Finally, a huge thank you to everyone who came to Sunday Service. We know the grass was long and parking next to the road wasn't ideal, but the driveway looks fantastic and is now set to last for years to come. We appreciate your patience and flexibility!

[Sunday] Naaman, The Mighty Leper - 2 Kings 5 - Foolish Wisdom

Naaman the mighty man of war has leprosy, but his story shows us how human pride expects a show while God brings true healing through the small, ordinary, and unimpressive things.

Naaman the mighty man of war has leprosy, but his story shows us how human pride expects a show while God brings true healing through the small, ordinary, and unimpressive things.

Questions for the Week: Naaman: The Mighty Leper. 

  1. Describe a time when your ego got in the way of God working.

  2. Read 2 Kings 5:1-19.  Naaman scoffed at the Jordan River because it wasn't impressive enough. Why does human pride struggle so much with God using simple, ordinary things (like regular water in baptism or bread and wine) to deliver His grace?

  3. Naaman tried to buy his healing with gold and political letters. Even though we know salvation is free, in what subtle ways do we still try to "pay" God for His blessings?

  4. When Naaman worried about having to work in a pagan environment, Elisha didn't tell him to quit his job or start a culture war; he just said, "Go in peace." How does knowing you are a secure, new creation in Christ’s resurrection free you to calmly love and serve the people in your secular workplace or neighborhood?

Grace Driveway Work. Happening this weekend 21st.

Upcoming Driveway Closure: Sunday, Postponed due to weather

Driveway Project Update: June 20th

  • The Work is happening.

  • We may be parking next to the road.

  • We will be able to walk down the driveway


On Friday, May 29th, work officially began on our driveway at Grace. The crew cut out the old, damaged sections and filled the holes with fresh asphalt.

Upcoming Driveway Closure: Sunday, June 14th

The next step is sealing and restriping, which will take place starting Friday evening, June 12th, and run through the weekend. This means we will not have access to the driveway on Sunday, June 14th.

For that Sunday, we will park in the grass near our sign on Cashmere Blvd. The back door to the fellowship hall will be open for entry.

When scheduling this project, we had to choose between blocking access during the week or over the weekend. Closing the driveway during the week would have disrupted the Alzheimer’s daycare. Because it is difficult for many of those patients to walk long distances, we decided it was best to have the work affect the church over the weekend instead.

Burnout happens when we think it's entirely up to us to fix the world. Elijah flees into the wilderness and discovers how God meets us in our exhaustion, speaking in a still small voice, and freeing us from the pressure of having to do it all.
