All Is Well. Be Thankful
We need to be thankful for God’s benefits, our salvation, answered prayers, peace, hope and His forgiveness. Trust God with everything.

God Is: God Is All Knowing
We have assurance of provision, our future, justice will prevail and all questions have answers. There are many possibilities in our life and God knows every outcome. If we choose wisely, we have a bright future.

God Is: God Is In It
God is in the person in front of us, in the humbling moments, and in the mess. Miracles happen when we listen to Jesus.

This Weekend!
Two exciting events happening at Grace Family Church
Updated November 9, 2020
God Is: God is Bigger
How big is your God? With Him, we have victory. God is bigger than our battles and in His presence we will find peace.
Updated November 2, 2020
The Realm of the Unknown
Faith and fear both live in the realm of the unknown. We need to choose faith over fear.
Updated October 26, 2020
Moving On with Exceptions
An exception is when we choose what we desire over what God desires. No matter how big our sin is, God’s Grace is greater.

Third Person: The Power of the Holy Spirit
We know the Holy Spirit is God’s promise to every believer and gives us the power to be a witness.
Updated October 12, 2020
Third Person: Being Led By The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is within you. With everything happening in the world, we need to trust in the Holy Spirit. Thank God for blessing your life, not just asking Him to bless you.

Third Person: The Personality of the Holy Spirit
Updated September 28, 2020
Third Person: The Role of the Holy Spirit
In order to start listening to the Holy Spirit, we need to stop trying to be the Holy Spirit in our everyday lives. When we accept our sins are never too big for God, that is when we can truly let the Holy Spirit begin to work inside of us.
Updated September 21, 2020
Third Person: Under The Influence
In order for us to win the battle, we need to be on the right side of the conflict with the Holy Spirit guiding us. When we are being influenced by the Holy Spirit, we walk, act, live and know differently.

Third Person: The Person of the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is a person and promised to every believer. The role of the Holy Spirit is to lead you, guide you, warn you, and convict you. He sees what we can’t see and knows what we don’t know. Don’t resist or ignore Him.

New Series Starts This Weekend
To some, it’s a ghost. To others, a burning flame, or even a white dove. But, to most people, the Holy Spirit is simply a mystery. Join us this weekend to kick off our new series as Pastor Craig leads us to rediscover the person of the Holy Spirit.

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
