Proverbs // Stuck in Neutral: How to Stop Overthinking Your Life

We're constantly told to "follow your heart," but relying on our own fragile instincts often leaves us exhausted, anxious, and second-guessing every choice. The real cure for decision fatigue isn't a better strategy—it's a trustworthy Saviour.

Proverbs // Fake Sex & The Illusion of Overpromised Pleasure

Why does sexual temptation always promise the world, but leave you feeling empty, isolated, or straight-up wrecked? In this sermon, we examine the heavy-hitting warnings of Proverbs 7 to break down how counterfeit intimacy actually works. It rarely starts with a massive failure and sometimes simply starts with linger at the wrong place, and the lie that "it’s no big deal". We also look at how it's easy it is to use good excuses—and even religious spin—to justify bad moves.

Proverbs // More Than Friends: Parenting With Conviction

Settle for being just a friend to your kids, and your family drifts without a rudder. As part of our series from the Book of Proverbs, this sermon challenges us to embrace the high calling of leading with conviction, strength, and heart-level discipline. True freedom for our kids isn't found in a lack of boundaries—it’s forged through intentional training, gracious authority, and building a home anchored in Jesus above all else.

Proverbs // From Tearing Down to Building Up: Finding the Cure for Our Inner Scoffer

We’ve all got a cynical, quick-to-judge side that loves to roast people and tear them down—even if we hate admitting it. But constantly mocking others only leaves everyone wounded and empty. The only way out of that toxic cycle is to look at Jesus: He took the ultimate humiliation so we could drop the front, heal from our own shame, and start using our strength to build people up instead.

The Lord’s Prayer // Deliver Us From Evil

Forget passive Christianity; Jesus is training us for battle against a real, persistent enemy who wants nothing more than to wreck your life, family, and purpose. Spiritual warfare isn't about Hollywood-style demon hunting—it’s hand-to-hand combat in the daily grind. It’s choosing discipline over indulgence, standing firm against tailored temptations, and keeping your eyes fixed on Jesus.

Romans 7:1-6 // The End of Performance: Dead to the Law, Alive to the Spirit

Are you tired of running on the treadmill of "good behavior" just to please God? Many of us grew up thinking Christianity was just a long list of rules to keep—or things to stop doing. But what if the "good news" isn't actually about being good?

Grace City Church Membership // What We Believe About Gender & Gender Roles

When conversations around gender often feel like navigating a minefield of power struggles, how do we find a path that leads to flourishing rather than friction? In this sermon, we're continuing our series on church membership by exploring one of our core distinctives: the biblical design of family, and how that pertains to gender and gender roles.

Grace City Church Membership // What We Believe About Sex & Marriage

Our culture hasn’t just drifted from God’s design for sex and marriage — it has inverted it, treating personal sexual freedom as sacred and God’s wisdom as the problem. This sermon looks at what’s behind that shift, what the Bible actually teaches about marriage from Genesis to Revelation, and what it means to respond faithfully — whether that calls us to repentance, to costly obedience, or simply to pursue Jesus with fresh wonder.

1 Corinthians 12:12–27 // Why Membership?

When someone becomes a Christian, they are not only saved from sin - they are added to a community of people. This means being truly interconnected, because you cannot follow Jesus alone.

1 Peter 5:1-4 // Follow the Leader: The Under-Shepherd’s Call to Courage and Sacrifice

The Bible calls church leaders to be shepherds, not CEOs, therapists, or entertainers. Leadership is a gift from God to His people.

1 Peter 2:11-12 // Beloved Outsiders & Why We Don’t Fit In

Peter’s message in 1 Peter 2:11–12 is simple: because we are God’s beloved exiles, we should live differently. We are called to trade soul-crushing passions for a life of such visible goodness that our neighbours see Christ in us. Transforming change doesn't come from just trying harder—it comes from loving Jesus more.

1 Peter 2:1-10 // Fault Lines & Foundations: Standing Firm in an Unstable World

In 1 Peter 2:1-10, we see that while the world rejected Jesus, God chose Him to be the "Living Stone" and the foundation of a new people from all nations: the Church. This message calls us to examine our own lives: Are we building on the solid rock of Christ or on shifting sand?
