Join our Pastor as he preaches from 1 Thessalonians 4:13 in a sermon entitled “An Everlasting Hope.”

Think about a good friend that you haven't seen in years. Imagine that friend is coming for Christmas dinner. How would you get ready? Would you clean the house? Set the table? Prepare your favourite foods? If they couldn't arrive until late, you'd likely leave a light on. Perhaps, you'd even stay up waiting for them? In Luke 12, Jesus tells of a servant who stays up all night, leaving a lamp burning, waiting for his Master's return. May we resemble this servant.

Ever thought about what kept the Apostle Paul up at night? What was it that was constantly on Paul's mind--the greatest Christian who ever lived--that gave him such consternation that he would be so very afraid to face the Lord? It was that he would be disqualified from the "race of life." What in Paul's mind consisted of being disqualified? And if Paul was afraid of disqualification, what about you and me? Join the Grace United crew as we learn how to avoid the pronouncement of "disqualified" on the Day of Judgment, when we stand before the judge of the world, the Lord Jesus Christ.

"Preach the Gospel." To every creature under heaven. "Make disciples. Of all nations." "This is my body. This is my blood." Fifth Sundays at Grace United is when we partake of the Lord's Table, also called "Communion." Come with Grace United as we explore again, for the first time, why the Lord left us here instead of taking us home to heaven after He salvaged those who responded to the Gospel: That our God reigns. That salvation is found only in Christ.

July 26, 2015 Intro – Years ago at a girl’s college, dates were only permitted on Saturday night.

But not as much…

What happens when I sleep? You know? I like to think that I don’t often get angry – I probably delude myself. But I recall going to a funeral once that made me angry.

At the very end of Jesus ministry, and I mean the very end, just before he ascended back to heaven he gathered his disciples and gave them the great commission.

Malachi 4. Can we turn, once again, to the book of Malachi? [P] Those of you who were here last time I spoke, if you are astute, may have noticed that I skipped over a verse.
