Grace Church Sunday Teaching

Vinu Paul leads the Commission family of churches and he stirs Grace Church to accelerate into what God has for us and to believe him for using us for his plans both collectively and individually.

Diversity is a popular concept in the cultural moment we live in but it is fair to ask the question of why? At Grace Church, diversity is a core value because the gospel of grace that is central to us makes grace and unity non-negotiable.

In Colossians 3, we explore how our new identity in Jesus should transform the way we live. We look at remembering who we are, putting on Christlike character and allowing thankfulness for God’s grace to shape our lives.

Jesus alone is worthy. He alone is the lion with power and authority, and also He is the lamb that was slain, so that redemption of all creation could take place. Jesus is worthy of our full attention and worship.

Why did Paul quote a song about Jesus? Because the church in Colossae was being told that Jesus alone was not enough. In Col 1v15-20 we see Christ for who he really is, and discover that the true gospel is Jesus plus nothing: he has done it all.

Jesus alone is worthy. He alone is the lion with power and authority, and also He is the lamb that was slain, so that redemption of all creation could take place. Jesus is worthy of our full attention and worship.

Hidden in Chapter 1 of Colossians is possibly the oldest hymn we have about Jesus. We explore this hymn to see how focusing on the supremacy and sufficiency of Christ can help us worship.

God is exclusively worthy of our worship in every moment and in every place. He is matchless in his might and his mercy. We want to be a people who worship God faithfully and passionately from our hearts.

The Halal Psalms were sung by Jewish people at Passover and are likely to be what Jesus sang at the Last Supper, before his arrest and crucifixion. We look at what they teach us about God’s character and how Jesus acted in difficult times.

In Luke 4, we read that in the synagogue in Nazareth, Jesus read Isaiah’s prophecy from chapter 61: “to bring good news to the poor”. We see why this is so and as Christ’s ambassadors we are to reach out to those in need in the same way as Christ did.
