The Book of Ruth | God Provides
Have you ever found yourself in a place you never wanted to be, facing doubt and uncertainty you never expected to face? Our uncertainty and doubt can so quickly turn into fear and desperation when we loose sight of who God is. In week two of our series, Pastor Hal reminds us that even when our faith waivers, God remains faithful, and He always provides.

The Book of Ruth | Endings
Unexpected endings and change can be one of the most difficult things we deal with in life. Sometimes it makes all the difference just to know that we are not alone, and that God is still in control through it all. Pastor Hal Mayer tells us about purpose, healing, and God’s faithfulness as he leads us through The Book of Ruth.

Family Road Trip | Getting Along With Your Copilot
Marital roles are a point of contention and conflict in today’s culture, even among Christians. What does it mean to sacrifice yourself for someone? What does it mean to submit to someone? Our own misunderstanding of these roles will ultimately lead to an unfulfilling, unhealthy, and unhappy marriage. God designed marriage for our joy and His glory. It’s only when we align with His design, and not our desires, that we will experience the true fullness and joy that marriage can bring.

Family Road Trip | Marriage
Marriage is not a destination, it’s an ongoing journey. And on this relationship road, there are blowouts and breakdowns that can threaten to bring that journey to an end. But there is hope! God is good, and He created marriage to be good. Following His plan, you’ll discover that marriage is way more than just a bumpy road.

Family Road Trip | Soulmates?
“I Do” doesn’t magically equal “I Can.” Building a great marriage requires more than romance and chemistry. Doing things God’s way may not be the most popular or the easiest way, but His plan always leads to a strong, passionate, and fulfilling marriage.
Updated April 5, 2021
Hope Is Here
God gives us hope for our past, present and future. Pastor Craig discusses how the resurrection of Jesus gives us power in our current life. We have success, but when we follow Jesus we have significance.

Samson | Overcoming Lust
It all started with a look. This week, Pastor Ralph takes us through God’s Word to show us how the unaddressed sin of lust is modeled through Samson’s life. His example to get through these circumstances in his life in the valley of temptation reminds us that only God can renew our heart and mind.
Updated March 8, 2021
Samson | Emotion
Are you being driven by your emotions? Samson was emotion driven vs spirit-led. When we don’t know who we are, we are prideful. Pastor Hal discusses how to keep your emotions out of the driver’s seat.

The Inconvenient Path
The question is not how do we avoid inconvenience; the question is how do we navigate the inconvenient paths and the inconvenient seasons when they come. The goal for us as Christians is not to avoid inconvenience, but it is to live lives of significance. Inconvenient paths lead to incredible places. Detours do not define us rather we are defined by the calling God has on our life.

All Is Well. Be Thankful

Hey Grace Family Church, Pastor Matt Roden here. We have been talking about it for a couple of weeks, especially over the last 24 hours, the coronavirus is on everyone’s mind. Some people are worried, some people are wondering what is going to happen over these next couple of weeks. And because of that we are making two changes to this weekend’s services.
First, Governor DeSantis has recommended no mass gatherings in the state of Florida. So, in an effort to meet that request, we will have no live services at our campuses this weekend. This will help us do our part in protecting the vulnerable in our community and help stop the spread of the virus.
But second, I will be providing a special online service this weekend, where I will be talking about worry and fear in times like this. I want to be very helpful and encouraging for all of us. The service will be available starting Saturday at 4:30 PM. We hope you are going to join us.
We also want you to stay up to date as things are going on with us. Check your inbox for emails from us. Join in on social media. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram; please do so. Let’s stay connected as we navigate this time together. Let’s practice common sense as we practice an uncommon faith and we trust God is in control.
Pastor Matt Roden
