uncivilized
To one degree or another, we all know the hopelessness of feeling like there’s no escape. Sometimes we feel that way in our Christian walk. Jesus calls us to live a free life, but we often lose sight of what that means. Uncivilized is a dive into Galatians and what it means for us to live free in Christ.

Lean in
The action of leaning in is to go with a purpose and have compassion and drive. In this series, we will go through the book of philippians and what it could mean for you to lean into god's word, Jesus, and how to be more like him. How can we lean into god in our every day situations?
He said what?!
Throughout the bible, we can find verses that cause us to stop and say what? It's this pause and questioning of whether god truly said that is what inspired this series. Plus, instead of hearing from the lead pastor, we had 5 different speakers come to share a word on verses that made them pause at the word of god.
Transformed
God guides us through storms to realize our strength and to understand our past self is not who we are anymore. Through him, we can find our purpose and be transformed into a new self. Through this series, we talk about biblical examples of how god can transform our lives and put it into a present-day perspective. he is not far but rather within us at all times if you accept all that he has to give.
Something's Missing
faith without action is dead. you can know the Bible, you can say you know Jesus, but are you putting what you already know into action? It's one thing to say it, but do you truly live it? In this series, our pastor walks through the book of James and encourages Christians to learn from Jesus, live like Jesus, and love like Jesus every day of their lives. real transformation comes from acting out one's faith and continuously striving to continue their journey of faith through action.
Presence: Near, close, with
Presence is a series designed to help draw our attention, affection, and devotion to the person, power, and presence of Jesus. We want to have a great measure of encounter - some for the first time, some to see God as more ever-present, for some to be motivated to tangibly share the presence of God, but for all of us that God’s presence may become more tangible and rich in our lives - near, close, and with.
My One thing
Every year, Pastor Des shares his word for the year. This word is an outflow of what the Lord is leading him in personally, but also the vision he is bestowing upon him for Grace Community Church! My One Thing is a one-off message designed to inspire and motivate us both corporately and personally to lean into what God is doing in our lives and to capture what he wants to reveal in this New Year!
Pray 23
Living “wide awake” is a posture of our lives. Kicking off the New Year, Pastor Des walks us through what it means to be wide awake as we lean into Pray 23 - a series all about Psalm 23 and the posture, anthem, and emphasis for Grace in 2023! Are you ready to Pray 23?
