Grace Bible Church College Sermons

Speaker: Matt Morton Scripture: Acts 15:1-35 Series: The Book of Acts Series Order: 18 Location: Grace Bible Church Anderson Grace is a shocking concept: God accepts us on the basis of what Jesus has done rather than on the basis of our good deeds. The early Church wrestled with this tension, and you and I have to face it as well. Do you live in the reality of God's grace and proclaim that grace to others? PowerPoint Slides

Speaker: Trey Corry Scripture: 2 Samuel 11 Series: College_Life Series Order: None Location: Grace Bible Church Southwood A poorly handled Winter Break can lead to spiritual disengagement, self absorption, and moral failure.

Speaker: Matt Morton Scripture: Luke 2:15-20 Series: College_Life Series Order: None Location: Grace Bible Church Anderson For the shepherds, the birth of Jesus was a life-changing event.

Speaker: Matt Morton Scripture: Acts 14:1-28 Series: The Book of Acts Series Order: 16 Location: Grace Bible Church Anderson All of us are tempted to be chameleons, to change our actions and beliefs based upon the opinions of those around us.

Speaker: Dusty Davis Scripture: John 11:1-46 Series: College_Life Series Order: None Location: Grace Bible Church Anderson How do we trust in God's character and sovereignty even when our life feels like it's out of control or crumbling around us?

Speaker: Trey Corry Scripture: Acts 11:19-30; 13:1-13 Series: The Book of Acts Series Order: 15 Location: Grace Bible Church Southwood The church in Antioch was so influential in world missions because they followed behind where God was at work and they were a local church who evangelized the lost, established believers, equipped disciple-makers, and extended their resources (finances and gifted ministers) beyond their local sphere of influence. PowerPoint Slides

Speaker: Matt Morton Scripture: 2 Timothy 2:20-22 Series: None Series Order: None Location: Grace Bible Church Anderson We are made for God's purposes.

PowerPoint Slides

Speaker: Matt Morton Scripture: Acts 12:1-24 Series: The Book of Acts Series Order: 13 Location: Grace Bible Church Anderson God is in control of the world.

Speaker: Trey Corry Scripture: Acts Series: The Book of Acts Series Order: 12 Location: Grace Bible Church Southwood With miracles throughout the books of Acts, we wrestle with the following questions ... Are these biblical miracles magical myths or historical happenings? If miracles actually occurred in our Bibles, does God still do the miraculous today?

Speaker: Kevin Barra Scripture: 1 Samuel 22 Series: None Series Order: None Location: Grace Bible Church Anderson We all walk through the "wilderness" at one point or another.

Speaker: Ryan Poehl Scripture: Acts 8:26-36 Series: The Book of Acts Series Order: 08 Location: Grace Bible Church Southwood In this encounter on a dirt road in near Gaza, Philip shares the gospel because it is ingrained in his daily character formation, while God intentionally directs this evangelist to a foreigner and eunuch. The redemptive work of Christ is put on display as this once excluded God-fearer, becomes a son of the Most High God. PowerPoint Slides

Speaker: Jacob Smith Scripture: Acts 8:26-40 Series: The Book of Acts Series Order: 08 Location: Grace Bible Church Anderson The account of Philip and the Ethiopian is one of the most famous Biblical examples of evangelism and is a testament to the power of the Lord. This miraculous intersection of two lives for the purpose of spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ was not the product of one man calling others to God, but rather that one man listening for God's call.
