Testing of Our Faith in Life, Part I
Sunday, March 29th, 2009 : By Dan Miller
How long has it been since you considered how amazing it is that God punished Jesus for your sins? It is an amazing thing to meditate on how Jesus completely fulfulled all of the holy demands of God for you and that you are now seen as if you have never sinned and now possess the righteousness of Jesus Christ through faith alone. It is the echo of His grace to us that is to reverberate through our lives touching every fiber of our being. Today we will discuss the connection between having a firm grasp on the goodness of God insulates us from temptation in life. James 1:18-21. MP3 download.

ChurchWorks: How You Function, Part 8
Sunday, August 3rd, 2008 : By Ken Rutherford
Last week we began a short series on the Work of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the member of the Trinity whom the Scripture most often represents as being present to do God’s work in the world. We categorized His work in four ways: 1) empowers, 2) purifies, 3) reveals, and 4) unifies. This wee we continue by looking at the ways in which the Holy Spirit purifies, reveals, and unifies.

ChurchWorks: How You Function, Part 7
Sunday, July 27th, 2008 : By Ken Rutherford
Have you ever wondered “Who is the Holy Spirit?”, “What does the Holy Spirit do?”, or “How does the Holy Spirit work in the life of a believer?” The doctrine of the Holy Spirit is easily one of the most controversial, disagreed-about, avoided, feared, confused, and neglected subjects in the Bible. Pastor Dan has been teaching on the marks of a God-owned church (Knowing Who You Are) and how God equips his church to carry out his mission (Knowing How You Function). For the next two weeks, we are going to take a slight detour and explore the theological foundation to his teaching by focusing on the Biblical description of the Holy Spirit. MP3 download.

The Grace Fellowship Leadership Team answers your questions.
Q1 (2:39): How can you tell the difference between God’s will for my life and my will that I think is God’s will?
Q2 (10:10): What is the most effective way to witness to people that do not believe or “buy-into” II Tim. 3:16? Currently, I try to support why the Bible is infallible and reaffirms itself (i.e. the Old Testament supporting the New Testament, many authors over a long period of time that confirms the author, etc.). Now with the new thoughts regarding the Gnostic Book and the Di Vinci code, etc., more and more people don’t know the facts, etc.
Q3 (15:55): Husbands are to …

Q1 (2:09): In my walk with Christ, I find myself very stale in my relationship with Christ. I mean I feel distant when I worship. I feel distant when I pray, and Scripture doesn’t seem to sink in. When it happens, what do I do to get back where I want to be in my relationship with Christ?
Q2 (10:29): We say that the title of senior pastor has in many was betrayed the intent of the biblical role of a pastor / elder / bishop within the leadership of the modern church. Still, whenever I run across the term ‘pastor’ in Scripture I always …
