Grace Community Church - Nashville

How can a person grieve and rejoice at the same time? Communion with the Holy Spirit makes this a reality for believers. Justin and Scott discuss this and more in this week's episode. 

The Words of Grace Podcast seeks to clarify, amplify, and apply the Sunday morning sermon at Grace Community Church. From time to time we will address other topics. We hope these podcasts help impress the Word of God into your everyday life. Episodes are hosted by Justin Tucker and Scott Patty.

In the various trials of life that test our faith, from where does our joy come? Our joy comes from God; his great mercy toward us in Christ, his work in us to conform us to the image of Christ, and his promise to get us all the way to praise, glory, and honor through genuine faith in Christ. Today we see God’s mercy in the context of our trials. We gain a new perspective on our trials in light of God’s grace. May the Lord encourage our faithfulness to him through his word.

Grace Community Church exists to build spiritually healthy people for ministry in the world. One of the ways that we pursue this mission is by gathering each Sunday for corporate worship, prayer, and biblical teaching. The corporate nature of this gathering is both edifying to the believer and a witness of God’s grace to the world. Sermon speaker is Scott Patty unless otherwise noted.

In a letter designed to encourage believers toward faithfulness to Christ as they experience the tension of living in this world, Peter begins with praise to God. As he praises God for his great mercy toward us, he is reminding us of the basis of our hope. His aim is to produce joy. Joy in God is a power that sustains us when our faith is tested. Today and everyday, let us begin with praise to God.

Today we begin a sermon series in 1 Peter. We don’t get past the opening greeting without being encouraged by the truth of the gospel that attends our way as sojourners in this world. We find here the reason to praise God for his great salvation, and the grace and peace we need for the journey ahead. Let’s pray for the Holy Spirit to renew our hearts through this letter to the church in difficult days.

As Christians and as a congregation, let us hear and heed the call to be constant in prayer. As we pray, let us trust in the love, wisdom, and power of God; entrust ourselves, our circumstances, and others to him; ask him in Christ’s name, according to his will, and for his glory; and receive his response with faith, submission, and thanksgiving. Let us pray.

The promise of the presence of Christ did not end when he ascended to heaven. He said he will be with us to the end of the age. Christ has given us his Spirit to be with us, to live in us, and to give us the power to testify of his grace. He has sent his church into the world for this purpose and with this promise.

God is with us by His Spirit, but His presence is not passive. Through His Spirit, God is continually making us more like Jesus. Like fire, the Holy Spirit purifies, comforts, and illuminates His people.
