Features of Faith
https://thegfc.org/…/Mark%20Audio%2…/1393Mark10.46-52.mp3 This past Sunday at Grace Fellowship Church, Pastor Holladay taught on the story of blind Bartimaeus and His encounter with Jesus, wrapping up Mark 10. There is a lot to be learned about our ourselves and our desperate need of Jesus in this passage. From Bartimaeus, we learn five features of faith. Listen to this week’s message to learn more, or for a review!
Curing Selfish Ambition
” … even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45). Today, as we continue our exciting series through Mark’s gospel account of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, Pastor Holladay preached on Mark 10:35-45, speaking on the subject of selfish ambition. Listen to today’s message to discover three mistakes that characterize selfish ambition, and how knowing Christ personally corrects them. https://thegfc.org/sermons/Mark%20Audio%20Sermons/1392Mark10.35-45.mp3
God’s Standard of Marriage
Yesterday morning, as our Supreme Court Justices made an important decision regarding what constitutes marriage, and consequently, how Americans will define and view marriage, Grace Fellowship Church gathered for prayer. We prayed for each of the Supreme Court Justices, for the protection of the institution of the family (one of God’s most marvelous gifts to mankind), for parents, grandparents, teachers and others who have influence on children, for children who are growing up in a culture with little moral anchor,…
Jesus’ Journey to Jerusalem
As we continue our series in Mark, we are nearing the climax of this remarkable story: Jesus dying on the cross to accomplish redemption for His people, and to fulfill Old Testament prophecy. Preaching on Mark 10:32-34, Pastor Holladay explained Jesus’ third announcement of His upcoming trial, suffering, death and resurrection as recorded in Mark’s gospel. Through Jesus’ journey to Jerusalem, four aspects of His redemptive work are revealed. Listen to today’s message to learn more! https://thegfc.org/sermons/Mark%20Audio%20Sermons/1391Mark10.32-34.mp3

Evaluating Your Portfolio | 5/31/15
“It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God,” Jesus instructs His disciples in Mark 10:25. Listen to today’s sermon, as we continue our discussion in Mark 10:17-31 on Jesus’ encounter with the rich, young ruler. In verses 23-31—the text for today—Jesus impresses on His disciples three lessons from the rich, young ruler. https://thegfc.org/sermons/Mark%20Audio%20Sermons/1390Mark10.23-31.mp3
Jesus the Evangelist | 5/25/15
” … until a man comes to understand the perfect goodness of God, he’ll never understand what is necessary to receive eternal life,” argues Pastor Holladay, as we continue our expository study through Mark’s gospel. Through studying the rich, young ruler’s encounter with Jesus, we are reminded of our desperate need to rely on God’s grace alone for eternal life. In failing to understand God’s holy standard, we tend, like the rich, young ruler, to think that we can earn…

Mr. Bowling will lead the youth in a discussion on courage, looking at what the Bible has to say regarding this quality. The discussion time will be based on the time the youth spent watching the movie “Courageous” the last time they gathered together.

Responding To & Like Children 5/17/15
Today, Pastor Holladay shared some important lessons about little children, preaching form Mark 10:13-16, as we continue our series through Mark’s gospel. By looking at the cast of these verses—parents, the disciples, children, and Jesus—we learn more of the vast importance of leading children to Jesus, as He is their only hope in life and death, and His arms are open to receive them. Yet, there is a far more important lesson in these verses, as Jesus teaches that all…
Dealing With Divorce
“… the marriage relationship is sacred. It is not a human concept. It is not a cultural contrivance. God divinely instituted marriage at Creation. And to redefine it, or modify it, or undo it is not for man to do.” – Pastor Holladay This past Sunday, Pastor Holladay delivered a challenging message on the permanence of marriage as God intended it. Preaching from Mark 10:1-12, a deeper look was given into the teaching of Jesus on the matter of divorce.…

Sin—Ours & Others 5/03/15
Today, Pastor Holladay preached a powerful sermon on three unpopular topics: sin, judgment, and hell. Yet, such a message ends on a more positive note than one might expect, ultimately pointing us to the gospel as our only hope of deliverance from sin’s consequences and control. Pastor Holladay urges us to deal with sin in our lives “because sin is serious business,” as he preaches on Mark 9:42-50, using Jesus’ own severe warnings for instruction. Listen to today’s message to…
