Islam is the 2nd largest religion in the world, with 1.3 billion followers. What does Islam teach? How does it square with what the Bible teaches? What will you say the next time you have an encounter with a follower of Islam that could best lead them to the truth of the Gospel? Here in week three of our Jesus Is… series, we will describe where Islam began, what it teaches, and ways to share the true identity of Jesus with a Muslim. MP3 download.

ChurchWorks: Who You Are, Part 2

Sunday, May 18th, 2008 : By Dan Miller

We are in week 2 of our “Church Works” series. Last week we uncovered the dynamic that when we know who we are as a church we can live the way we were meant to live as a church. Today, we continue in considering what it means to be an authentic and, therefore, recognizable church. Are there signs of life that every church gives off? What are those bottom-line signs of life that any and every true church will display?

Today, we will point out these signs of life and in the process we will gain a greater understanding what it means to be a church.

Belong: When God’s Passion and Your Purpose Collide, Part 1

Sunday, March 2nd, 2008 : By Dan Miller

In this two week series we will give a revealing look at our role in God’s Kingdom.  Wow, just think about the contrast in those two ideas:  “our role” and “God’s Kingdom.”  How do you boil down a subject this huge into a container so limited?  Well, over the next two weeks we will show you how we as a Church fit into the framework of God’s Kingdom.  Then, during week 2, we will see how you as a person are made to extend the Kingdom of God in the sphere of influence in which you live.  It is our hope and prayer that after these two messages you will better understand the purpose of Grace Fellowship as well as …

graceTALK, February 2005

Sunday, February 27th, 2005 : By Leadership Team

The Grace Fellowship Leadership Team answers your questions.

Q1 (0:29): I am having difficulty organizing in my mind the distinctions between the church and Israel. Currently I am studying Isaiah, and it makes many references to the remnant. Will all of Israel be saved in the end, or just a portion of Israel? The passage in Romans is unclear to me. I know that Dispensationalists view the church and Israel as 2 distinct, different entities, and that most Reformed thinkers mostly see Israel and the church as one in the same, at least in the New Testament.

Q2 (16:10): I’ve heard that prayer changes things. How does it? Can it change what …
