It's right there, all around us is the party of God's abundance. The question for us all is: Will we enjoy ourselves in God’s generosity, or will we rely on our own strength?
- It's right there, all around us is the party of God's abundance. The question for us all is: Will we enjoy ourselves in God’s generosity, or will we rely on our own strength?
Questions for the Week: KEEP IT SIMPLE: - All Things
In what specific areas of your life are you currently relying on your own strength instead of trusting in God's? How can you shift your perspective to embrace God's sufficiency?
Read Philippians 4:10-20. How can we practically apply Paul's example of contentment in all circumstances to our daily lives, especially when facing challenges or hardships?
How can we share the message of God's abundance with others, particularly those who may be struggling or feeling overwhelmed? What specific actions can we take to encourage and support them?
The sermon challenges us to "keep it simple." How can you simplify your life to focus more on God's abundance and less on your own worries and anxieties?
What Had happened at Grace this week.
On May 20, 2026, our class walked through Mark 2:27–28 and Mark 3:1–35—Jesus’ authority over Sabbath, surging crowds and the boat, the naming and mission of the Twelve, accusations and the “house divided” teaching, binding the strong man, blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, and redefining true family—while reflecting on discernment, the Church’s mission, practical wisdom in Old Testament laws, and previewing the Parable of the Sower.
Welcome summer with a brand-new community tradition! Join us for our very first Fellowship Feast Pop-Up Potluck.
God doesn’t need you to be a blockbuster Christian. The big story of Elijah and the Widow of Zarephath shows we don't need a massive spiritual resume for God to love and rescue us.
For Mother’s Day 2026, we continued our "2nd Sunday School" tradition with a wonderful celebration for the mothers in our community.
On May 14, 2026, our church Bible study used C. S. Lewis’s The Great Divorce to explore repentance, forgiveness, heaven’s “solid” reality versus hell’s insubstantial self-absorption, the dangers of intellectual pride (the “bishop”), and a Christ-centered faith shaped by the cross, resurrection, and ascension.
This week, our study of Mark chapters 2 and 3 explored Jesus's authority to forgive, heal, and redefine righteousness as he calls a controversial tax collector and challenges the Pharisees' traditions about the Sabbath.

Questions for the Week: KEEP IT SIMPLE: - One Another
Describe a time you’ve seen the body of Christ love one another in a beneficial way.
Read John 13:31-38. What is Jesus’ commandment? In context around this, how do the disciples fail to love another?
In what ways might selfishness hinder our ability to love others fully? How can we recognize and address this tendency in ourselves?
How can we actively demonstrate love for one another, especially during challenging times or when we disagree with each other?
What Had happened at Grace this week.

Questions for the Week: KEEP IT SIMPLE: Reformation
In what ways do we tend to overcomplicate our relationship with God, and how can we simplify it in light of the message of salvation by grace?
Read John 10:22-30 How does the Jews’ request of Jesus overcomplicate things? How does Jesus’ response simplify what He is about to do?
What are some practical ways we can live out the understanding that salvation is a gift, not something we earn? How does this affect our daily lives and interactions with others?
How can we effectively share the message of salvation by grace with others, especially those who may be struggling with legalistic or works-based beliefs?

We often get in our own way, making salvation, giving, and all the ways God is involved in our lives more complicated than they need to be. Keep it simple; Jesus has saved you.
