Made for a Garden | Pastor Bob Wriedt | Genesis 2:4-17

What were you put on earth to do? It’s a question we all ask at some point, whether we’re choosing a career, building a life, or reflecting on the past.
This Sunday, we’re looking at Genesis 2:4-17, where Adam hears directly from God about his purpose. Through this passage, we’ll see what it reveals about our own calling and what we were made to do.
Join us as we explore this foundational question together.

The Rest of God | Pastor Jason Ricafranca | Genesis 2:1-3

What does it truly mean to rest in God? In Genesis 2, we see that after six days of creation, God rested—not because He was tired, but because His work was complete and good. His rest is a gift for us.
Just like a child enjoys vacation without worrying about the details, God invites us into His rest, trusting that He has already taken care of everything we need.
Join us this Sunday as we unpack Genesis 2:1-3 and explore what it means to truly rest in Him.

Made in the Image of God | Bob Wriedt | Genesis 1:24-31

What gives every person inherent worth? The Bible teaches that all people are made in the image of God, setting humanity apart from the rest of creation.
This Sunday, we’re looking at the final section of Genesis 1, where God creates humanity in His image. How does this truth shape the way we live and treat those around us?
Join us as we explore this foundational truth together.

A Good Day's Work | Bob Wriedt | Genesis 1:6-23

What does creation tell us about God? The beauty, complexity, and balance of the world point to an incredible Creator.
This Sunday, we’re continuing in Genesis 1, exploring the middle days of creation and why the Bible’s description is both good and true. How does this ancient account speak to our modern world?
Join us as we reflect on God’s handiwork together.

In The Beginning | Bob Wriedt | Genesis 1:1-5

"How did we get here? This Sunday, we’re starting a year-long journey through the book of Genesis, exploring the origins of the universe, humanity, and God’s relationship with His people.
We’ll begin with Genesis 1:1-5, reflecting on the creation of the universe and the greatness of God. May this passage inspire awe, worship, and wonder in your heart.
Join us as we go back to the beginning.

Putting Life In Perspective | Dr. Uche Anizor | Revelation 1:4-20

How does Christ view the start of a new year? This Sunday, guest preacher Dr. Uche Anizor will take us through Revelation 1:4-20, offering insight into Christ’s perspective on beginning anew.
If you’ve been feeling unmotivated in your spiritual life, this message is for you. Join us for an encouraging start to the year.

Why We Gather | Jason Ricafranca | Hebrews 10:19-25

Why do we gather as a church community? This Sunday, we’re concluding our short series by exploring the work of Christ as our great high priest and how it shapes the purpose of our gatherings as believers.

Why We Sing | Chris Howard | Colossians 3:16

Have you ever thought about why we sing in church so often?
 
This week at Grace, Pastor Chris will help us think through what happens when God's people lift their voices together. We will unpack how singing shapes our faith, how it impacts those around us, and why God calls us to express our worship through song.

The End of Romans | Bob Wriedt | Romans 16:21-27

This week at Grace, we are finishing Romans!
The final verses of Romans are a doxology, a powerful expression of worship to God for all He has done. This doxology ties together many of the major themes of the book, giving us a chance to reflect on what we’ve learned and how it shapes our faith.
Join us as we look back on this incredible journey through Romans and consider how to take what we’ve learned into our daily walk with God. Let’s celebrate, reflect, and plan together for what’s next in our relationship with Him.

The People of Romans: More than Just Names | Bob Wriedt | Romans 16:1-16

When you read the list of names in Romans 16:1-16—Phoebe, Prisca and Aquila, Andronicus and Junia, Epaenetus, Ampliatus, Rufus—what do you take away from it? If your answer is "Not much," you’re not alone. But there is so much more here than meets the eye.
These names represent real people whose lives teach us about the heart of early Christianity and what it means to live faithfully today. This passage is not just a list. It is a treasure trove of examples and mentors in the faith.
Join us this week at Grace as we uncover the stories behind these names and discover how their lives can inspire us to live with purpose, faithfulness, and a heart for the gospel. These early Christians remind us that every believer, no matter their role, has a significant part to play in God’s story.
