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,…

“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.

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. 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…

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. Pastor Holladay labeled today’s sermon “Ministry Mandates,” and discussed “the need to set aside personal pride in ministry, and to humbly encourage Christians engaged in Christian service, whose ministry is not exactly like our own.” Listen to today’s message to discover three directives that Jesus issues for ministry in His name.   https://thegfc.org/sermons/Mark%20Audio%20Sermons/1385Mark09.38-42.mp3
