Gospel Grace Church Sermon Audio

- Speaker: Taylor Ainslie: I am going to be reviewing some of the main points that Frank has introduced regarding studying the attributes of God. Then I will define biblical omnipotence. Finally, I will go through about 7 verses (Isaiah 66:1-2, Deuteronomy 3:23-24, Philippians 3:20-21, John 10:27-30, 2 Timothy 1:7-8, & Ephesians 3:20) and ask the following 3 questions: 1. "what attributes is evident? 2. How is it expressed in the passage? 3. how can I apply this to my own life? After going through those main points, I will close with what I have learned and end with prayer

Psalm 13 - Speaker: Josh Lankford - This summer, we have heard all sorts of Psalms expounded and applied. We've learned from Psalms of thanksgiving, wisdom, testimony, pilgrimage, and lament. Although Psalm 13 is another in the "lament" category, it has a different flavor than the others. This one is not just about trials, but God's seeming absence in them. David is asking, "Where is God in my trials?" And, "How can we trust God if it seems like he isn't even there?" When we can't find God in our pain, and it seems like he's left us behind, there is something yet to trust. There is something to grab on to and keep us going, even if we feel like God is not there. Plan to come this Sunday with your honest hurts. But also plan to hear God give you new hope in his steadfast love.

Luke 10:25-37 - Speaker: Chan Choi - In this session, we’ll explore why God’s mercy is not just a comforting truth but a transformative force in the life of every believer. We’ll briefly trace the theme of mercy across both the Old and New Testaments, highlighting how it reveals God’s heart and shapes our calling. Anchored in the parable of the Good Samaritan, we’ll consider how God's mercy trains us to extend mercy to others.

Psalm 84 - Speaker: Jon Kopp - If the famous words of Psalm 42, "Why are you downcast, oh my soul?" reflect the straining and strugglings of our relationship with God yet unfulfilled, Psalm 84 reflects the straining and strengthenings of our relationship with God fulfilled. "How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts.” But, don't rush ahead too quickly. Psalm 84 is not as neat and tidy as we'd like it to be. There's still longing. Still difficulty. Still the tension of living in a world that is not yet made whole. We often assume the blessed life is about getting what we think we want, but the more we listen to the words of Psalm 84, the more we the more we realize that the blessed life isn’t about getting everything we think we want—it’s about getting God. The good life is found in Him. Those who desire Him, pursue Him and trust Him are blessed.

- Speaker: Frank Strickland - That was the essence of Martin Luther’s charge against a fellow theologian. That same statement can be made today of our concept of God. This class will investigate the statement that ‘Every problem in the Christian’s life can be traced back to a basic misunderstanding of some Attribute of God’. As we grow in faith, we learn to lean on his attributes to guide us in times of difficulty. In fear, we can lean on His power; in loneliness, we remember His Love; in doubt, we trust His faithfulness. When we ignore His presence in hardship, we miss the opportunity to witness His faithfulness, love, and sovereignty and prepare for the next round. We will practice understanding, and applying, the Attributes of God using Holiness, Faithfulness, Omnipotence and Love. Come see how my fear of the future/my past/current events; anger/bitterness, lack of purpose, pride etc. can be cured by taking a deep dive into who God is and living it out. Hold on, because this might just change the course

Psalm 51 - Speaker: Will Galkin - This Sunday, we’ll be in Psalm 51, where David responds to the exposure of his sin with a prayer that gives words to what many of us feel when we have messed up. Instead of hiding, excusing, or trying to fix things, David owns his sin and casts himself on the mercy of God. Psalm 51 is not just a record of his repentance; it is a gift to anyone who has come to the end of themselves and still wants to be made right with God. David does not bring a plan or a promise. He brings a broken heart, and that is what God receives. If you are weighed down by sin, guilt, or shame, this Psalm shows what it sounds like to turn back to the Lord. The grace we find in this Psalm does not ignore sin. It meets it, cleanses it, and restores the sinner. That is the good news. God is still in the business of meeting His people with mercy.

Psalm 142 - Speaker: Jotham Manoranjan - Psalm 142 invites us into one of the lowest points in David’s life. Fleeing from Saul, David finds himself alone in a cave—with no friend and no refuge. This psalm belongs to the collection of laments—psalms that pour out sorrow and desperation to God in prayer. In this cave, at his lowest, David models what we are to do in our own moments of darkness: he cries out to God. Psalm 142 gives us more than a record of David’s pain—it offers a way forward for us in our own loneliness, pain, and dejection. It shows us how to pray when there are no words, how to hope when all seems lost, and how to turn to God when no one else is left.

Psalm 121 - Speaker: Will Galkin - This Sunday, we’ll be walking with the ancient pilgrims who made their way up to Jerusalem by turning our attention to Psalm 121. This short but powerful psalm gives voice to the vulnerable soul who looks up at looming hills and asks, “Where does my help come from?” In a world filled with anxiety, fatigue, and uncertainty, this question still resonates deeply with us today. The answer the psalmist gives is clear and comforting: “My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.” As we journey through this psalm, we’ll see that God is not distant or indifferent. He is our Keeper, our Protector, and our constant Companion. He watches over our lives with tireless care, and His protection extends to every step, every moment, and every season. Whether you’re weary, anxious, or simply needing fresh assurance, Psalm 121 reminds us that we do not walk alone. Come ready to be reminded that because the Lord is your Keeper, you can face the journey ahead with confident faith.
