Grace Community Church - Nashville

Being a Christian directs us in all of life because we now live for the Lord’s sake; seeking to do his will and to bring glory to him. This includes our life as citizens. Submission to God and to the law is required of Christians. Proper fear of God helps us fulfill our obligations to everyone, including the government. By doing so we will remove the opportunity to be slandered as evildoers.

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.

On this Palm Sunday, we consider the entrusted life of Jesus. Jesus handed over to the Father his physical life and death, and the circumstances and events of his ministry. He submitted his will to the purpose the Father had for him on earth. He yielded up his soul to the Father’s care as he suffered. He gave all to God. He did this for us. By his obedience we are made right with God. He did this as an example for us to follow. Let us entrust our souls to the faithful Creator and Redeemer.

To be faithful to Christ in private and in public, sojourners must keep watch over their souls and remember they are being watched by others. This passage calls us to abstain from the desires of the sinful nature so we can see God. We are to keep our conduct honorable in the world so others can see the goodness of God’s ways and glorify him with us. These exhortations provide the beginning guidance for our sojourning life. May we hear, heed, and help one another.

In 1 Peter 2, we see God’s purposes laid out for the church. How are we vulnerable to drifting away from these purposes, and how can we fight against those tendencies? Justin and Scott discuss this and more in this week's podcast episode.

This passage contains one of the greatest identity and purpose statements for the church in all the Bible. The church is God’s chosen people, ransomed by Christ to belong to him. The church serves God as priests who offer up the sacrifices of worship, prayer, and consecrated lives to him. The church proclaims God’s excellencies in the world as witnesses to his greatness and grace. May this vision of the church be ours at Grace Community Church.

The high calling of the sojourning Christian is to grow up into salvation. The way of spiritual growth is by the word of God. Like babies longing for and drinking milk, so we desire and feed upon God’s word. As we do, we grow up into the image of Christ knowing that in the end we will be like him. Spiritual growth is the priority of our lives.

The command to love one another is one of the most basic commands in the Bible. But the reason and resources to love are not often understood. We love one another because we have been born again. We love one another from the power of a new and purified life. Love is a characteristic of a holy life. Love is produced by the living and abiding word of God. Today, we rejoice in the gift of new life and remember to love one another.
