Grace Community Church, Arlington, Va

So, we need to lead with love and it is super important to be gracious, patient and kind. But do we ever need to just cut a relationship off? Maybe yes, maybe no. The Bible gives us a life-changing answer in one of the most unexpected of places.

Doesn’t everyone want to know the most effective way to heal a broken relationship or even better, how to prevent the break in the first place? As it turns out, the answer isn’t that complicated.

There’s lots of things in life that are good for you that you just don’t like doing. You could probably think of a few right now. What if I told you that there is something that’s really good for you and you actually love doing it. Join us and find out more.

There's a story on the opening page of the Bible that for many, me included, has prompted the question, "Is God Cruel?" But all that changes when we view the Bible through a very old lens. See you Sunday for part three of Find Your People.

If someone stopped you in an elevator and asked you "What is the main message of the Bible?", what would you say? I was so surprised when I read Jesus' elevator response to this question, especially because it wasn't even close to what I would have said. Join us this Sunday for Survival of the Friendliest.

We are all looking to improve our health. Matter of fact, the number one New Year's resolution for 2023 is to improve our mental health. There is a short list of very important things we can do to accomplish that top desire, but only one stands above and beyond the rest. In this brand-new series, we will focus all our energy on this Magic Elixir that truly transforms our lives.

Health and happiness aren't determined by money, fame, career, social class, or IQ. What's the one thing you can do that's Biblically and scientifically proven to make your life better? Join us this Sunday for part 3 of The Winning Formula.

The new year is the time we take to set goals and resolutions, to start new habits and to try to be better than the year before. But what if we are missing one very important element, one that Jesus built his whole ministry upon? Join us to find out how starting a new year with intentional Compassion can change the whole picture!

At the start of every year, we are bombarded with winning formulas for life. Do this, or don't do that, or here is a newly discovered hidden secret...... blah, blah, blah. Don't you just feel like giving up sometimes? I do! But here is some really good news, there is a winning formula and it hasn't been newly discovered because it is as old as the universe itself. See you Sunday for A Winning Formula That Works.

Don’t let goals blind you. How does God want to show up in your life this year?

What do you want to see under the tree this Christmas? On the night that changed the world, Jesus offered us just one thing. No sermons, no healings, no feeding of the five thousand, no walking on water, no forgiveness, no justice – none of that! That comes later. But on the night Jesus was born we were presented with just one thing. That one thing was the foundation of life for Jesus, and it’s the foundation of life for you and me.

Peace and quiet. It's a beautiful thing. Biblical peace is about so much more; it's about wholeness. But the journey to wholeness is not easy because it demands seeing the whole picture, which means seeing the things we don't want to see. Join us for All I Want For Christmas Is Peace.

I don't know anybody, especially Washingtonians, that doesn't want to achieve peak performance, do you? Here is the amazing thing, there is something so integral to the Christmas story that can move us forward toward our personal peak performance. When I realized that, I got so fired up for Christmas 2022. Learn what your peak performance depends on this Christmas.

Don't we all want the thrill of hope, the wonder and awe of the Christmas season? Wouldn't it be so awesome to encounter the Christ of Christmas this year? The Bible focuses special attention on a person, whose sole role is to prepare us to meet the Christ of Christmas. Our purpose is to prepare and when we do, special things happen. See you Sunday for All I Want for Christmas.

Biblical hope isn't like what you do before you blow out the candles on your birthday cake. It's way bigger and more secure than wishful thinking. In this message, find out exactly what it is, and where you can find it.

If someone asked you to explain Christianity in 11 words or less, could you do it? Join us for a message of what our faith is all about.

When it comes to serving people, good intentions are often not enough. How can we make an impact on our community that solves not only their spiritual needs, but physical needs? And not just for one moment, but in a way that is sustainable? The early church in Acts also struggled with these questions, and in this message we will unpack together the solution they discovered.

Imagine the difference we could make if we all came together to give, serve and love our community. You won't want to miss this year's Be Rich series.

I love the words to that Papa Roach song, "No, we're not nameless, we're not faceless. We were born for greatness." The powerful message behind the Book of Ruth is that we have a name. No human being is an anonymous object, we are all subjects. We are all people that are highly valued by Jesus and by all those who are His followers. The fact that you are a priceless treasure to Christ is the foundation of your freedom in Christ.
