Gospel Grace Church Sermon Audio

Genesis 1:26 - Speaker: Joe Skinner - Having established how God views sex and sexuality, we will take time to examine how that affects the way we understand ourselves primarily. What are the practical outflows of understanding our primary identity not through the lens of our sexuality, but rather, through the less of scripture --namely, made in God's image-- and how that affects the way we live out our sexuality.

1 Corinthians 15:42-44 - Speaker: Ben Henderson - Glorification is often misunderstood. However, it is the great hope we have as believers, the physical resurrection of our bodies. With these, we will live with God forever in the New Heavens and the New Earth.

James 4:1-10 - Speaker: Will Galkin - Double-minded people are unstable as they cannot go in different directions simultaneously. Something in their heart knows they are to pursue God, yet they find themselves drifting to find satisfaction elsewhere. This type of person sees people as mechanisms to get to their idols. However, since idols cannot satisfy the double-minded person, they become angry with those around them. This emptiness of the heart only causes the double-minded person to quest for more satisfaction through idolatry. The cycle of dissatisfaction only continues. Ultimately, this slide will only be arrested through submission to God. As one submits, God gives the grace to forsake idolatry and find wholeness in one's relationship with God.

Ezekiel 16:4-63 - Speaker: Alex Morrison - Our sexuality has a purpose beyond reproduction and pleasure. God designed sexuality to help us know him more deeply. This session unpacks how sex points us to God and how every person's sexuality, single or married, should lead them to finding satisfaction in God.

Philippians 3:10-14 - Speaker: Ben Henderson - Out of all the gospel concepts we've learned, sanctification can be the most frustrating. While propitiation and justification and redemption happen instantly, sanctification is an ongoing process. In this lesson, we learn that "Sanctification is the ongoing work of God to transform his people into greater Christlikeness.” We understand that sanctification is ongoing, transformative, and accomplished by the Holy Spirit with the Word of God as the instrument and the church as the context.

Ecclesiastes 7:1-14 - Speaker: Danny Brooks - Have you ever thought, “It would have been better if I had not been born?” You are not alone. Many of us have had those very thoughts. We wrestle with the hard circumstances and difficult experiences of life and wonder "Why?" Why me? Why this? Why now? What's the point of living if things are always going to be this hard? At the end of Ecclesiastes 7, the Preacher calls us to "Consider the work of God: who can make straight what he has made crooked? In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider: God has made the one as well as the other, so that man may not find out anything that will be after him." It's not only a sobering reminder that we are not sovereign over our days or the difficult circumstances, but God is! Like so many of us the author of Ecclesiastes is straining to see God's goodness and control in the crooked things around him. But again and again he returns to the goodness and sovereignty of God in all of life. It

Mark 10:45 - Speaker: Josh Lankford - Join us as we discuss that aspect of the gospel that describes how God has purchased us back to himself, from slavery to sin, at the cost of Jesus' life through redemption.

- Speaker: Alex Morrison - Sexuality is a loaded term in our culture and we want to have a biblical perspective of what it means. God created humanity and therefore he created sexuality. This session is a discussion on God's thoughts on sexuality and builds a foundation for understanding God's thoughts about sex.
