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…

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…

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.

Today at Grace Fellowship Church, Pastor Holladay preached on Mark 9:38-42, as a part of an expository series through the gospel of Mark.

Savior-like Greatness – 04/19/15

The Word’s definition of greatness is radically different than that of the world’s. Today, Pastor Holladay preached on Mark 9:30-37, introducing three characteristics of true greatness taught by Jesus, perfected in Him, and presented to us for personal application.

Barriers to Belief

Pastor Holladay preached on Mark 9:14-29 today, telling the story which recounts the disciples’ inability to cast a demon out of a severely possessed boy. Pastor Holladay comments, “Instead of expressing their dependence and faith in prayer—prayer being faith directed and expressed to God—they were relying on themselves.” Listen to today’s sermon to discover six barriers to belief; six obstacles to our faith in Jesus that hinder completion of the course: https://thegfc.org/sermons/Mark%20Audio%20Sermons/1383Mark09.14-29.mp3
