Brothers, Serve in Kids Ministry
I entered the situation assuming I was simply helping my son make some adjustments in his life. It turns out God was helping me make some adjustments in mine.
Gospel Repentance
What images and feelings come over you when I mention the “R” word—“repentance”?
Ripping of the clothes
Sack cloth & ashes
Pounding on the chest
Weeping while laying face down on the floor
These images are biblical, but are they the only images and feelings that are associated with repentance?
12 Verses To Treasure & Memorize This Year
We have curated 12 passages to memorize this year which are connected to our 2023 rallying cry, "We are humble before and joyful in Jesus!" Let's treasure God's word in our hearts each month.
January
James 4:10 – Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.
Rally Cry 2023
We are here to make disciples and plant churches by proclaiming and displaying the grace of God to sinners and sufferers. After seeking the Lord we’ve discerned our rallying cry for 2023 is not a new project or hill to charge, but a focus on being:
We are humble before & joyful in Jesus!
Tough & Tender: Notes on Fatherhood
These notes are taken from the Tough & Tender event on November 11, 2022.
Living On Mission
We are His workmanship, the wonderful Master made each of us! When we question our worth or feel unworthy, we can be reminded of the value that the Father has placed on each of us, his image-bearers. As his image-bearers, we have been created for and invited into his beautiful adventure. As his masterpieces, empowered by the Holy Spirit, we can be on mission where live, work, and play.
Meet the Aledo Core Team: The Nevels
The road to how we got here is a long one. When you walk into Grace Church and see us with our five teenage boys, with a happy marriage, and the Aledo life it is hard to see where we came from.
Meet the Aledo Core Team: The Hatches
We are thrilled to be a part of Grace Church and serve the children and families of Aledo. Our hope and prayer is to see families discipled and formed into the image of Christ so that the next generation of saints may know, trust, and love our good and gracious God.
Meet the Aledo Core Team: The Smiths
Talk of the East Parker County church plant was initially discussed in our Community Group; Shawn and I knew we were called to join. We have been united in prayer and vision for the Aledo church plant, growing in friendships through the process of preparation. We have also grown closer in our marriage as we navigated several difficult situations that have been revealed through our own discipleship journey in facing sin, sanctification and spiritual warfare. Being a part of the Aledo church plant, we hope to show others the love and grace we have experienced (and continue to experience!) in our own sin and sufferings, and to spread the joy of being a part of a Gospel-centered community in East Parker County.
Know & Turn From Your Idols
We are created worshipping. We're always pouring out love, adoration, and trust somewhere. The question is if it is Jesus or a false god.
