You Do Not Have To Be An Example
If there is anything that makes us squirm, it is the Bibles admonition to be examples. Very few of us are comfortable with that because we have so many human failings. Many times, we can get by very well without being examples, but there is one place where we cannot. We are examples to our children whether we want to be or not. If you have failed in this, fear not. The Bible offers hope. Key Verses:1Tim 4:12, Titus 2:7, 1Cor 11:1, Matt 5:48, Php 3:10-14, John 15:1-4, 2Cor 7: 6-11

Shattered Glass
This new series "Picture Perfect?" will focus on family matters - with topics that affect us all. Every individual has a family album of memories, experiences, expectations, and dreams...good, bad, and everything in between. When it’s good it can be REALLY good! And when it’s bad ... well, you know! The most important relationship we’ll ever have is with Christ at the centre of our lives. Personal wholeness is the key to all relationships. We need to find healing in Christ in order for us to have healthy relationships with others.

"Go Talk to Your Father"
To pray in the name of Jesus is to pray, through God's Spirit, to God as "Abba, Father", coming to him in the love and trust that title makes possible.

Family - it's the greatest and most complicated part of our lives. So if you only had 31 days to live, would you spend it all with your family or try to get away?

Join us for this message as Philip Nation describes how to return to the right view of family and learn to enjoy them again.

Children's Ministry Philosophy (PM)
David shares his concern for the direction of children's ministry at Grace. Biblical principles of parental responsibility, children as sinners, and evangelism must direct our practical attempts to serve both parents and kids.

The Little Children and Jesus
Jesus welcomed the children - was it just a sappy Kodak moment? No, in fact, Jesus welcoming the children teaches us the heart of what it means to approach God and what it looks like to faithfully parent as a follower of Jesus.

They are precious in His sight
"Jesus loves the little children" says the old children's song. But do we? Do we truly believe that life is sacred? Are all lives really precious...if every life isn't?

Water Baptism
Baptism by immersion in water is an important doctrine and practice for God's church. Water baptism is significant because it is a commandment of Jesus; it serves as a picture of our salvation; and because it is a sign of the new covenant that God established through Jesus. Baptism is appropriate for all who have come to faith in Christ and are able to confess that faith, whether they are converted adults or children who have conscious faith in Christ. Baptism is a sign of new birth and not of maturity, so it is right for new believers to seek baptism promptly. The timing of baptism will naturally be uncertain for children, but parents are encouraged to faithfully work to ensure their children understand the gospel. Baptism is appropriate as soon as children are able to articulate the gospel and their personal faith in Jesus.

Jesus and Your Family
As we continue in Mark's Gospel, the demands of discipleship become more challenging. This week, Jesus lays claim to our marriages and our families. He points back to Genesis to teach us what God intended for marriage, and paints an inspiring picture of the beauty of married life. He loves, welcomes, and blesses the children, showing indignation at his disciples' lack of care for the needy and helpless ones. And he offers us entrance into this kind of life if we are willing to become like children and receive his reign and lordship in our families.

Accountability with our children
Perhaps you have found that children often have a keen sense of justice. If Mum has cooked chips for dinner, children can be very discerning about how many chips are on someone else’s plate as compared to their own. What we parents need to realise is that it is God who has given them this keen sense of justice, and He has given it to them for a reason. It may not be the reason for which they use it, but a keen sense of justice is intrinsically good as a gift of God.

Children of God
The Apostle Paul ends chapter 3 of Galatians with an astonishing conclusion. He says that we are Children of God by faith. The implications of this statement in the New Testament are astounding. No longer does Paul quibble over whether we are associated w/Abraham, he explains that we are all Children of God by faith.

The Gospel and Family
TV families are built on the grotesque idea of our own brokenness, no even pointing to the ideal. It's easy for parents to fall into the trap of the familiar, either by copying from, or by overcompensating for our own parents. We should look instead to the scripture for direction, not only to see the ideal, but to see family in light of the gospel

Accepting our children
Should our acceptance of our children be "unconditional"? Should our love for our children be "unconditional"? You might have a yes or no answer already; but I want us to understand why the answer is whatever you think it is. This is a deep issue, a heart issue, it takes us into the very heart of God to find the answer. Our parenting is to be a reflection of God's parenting of us as His children. So first we need to answer the question, Does God accept us "unconditionally"?

Alluring our children
"Alluring" is a word normally used in the Bible to describe the seductiveness of sin. However in Hosea 2:14 God is said to allure His people to Himself. He not only commands us to repent and believe, He entices us with the wonderful attractiveness of the gospel. This is a pattern for us as parents to allure our children, to win their hearts.

Sowing and Reaping at Home
For children and parents alike, home is a sanctuary, a place to hide away from the demands of public life. But for people of faith, the children of God, home is also a sanctuary, a sanctuary of worship with God at the center. Sunday we continue in our series on sowing and reaping by looking at the Christian home. Come, let us walk in the light of the Lord.

A Spirit-Filled Family
The purpose of this sermon is to teach children and parents principles of living in the Christian home. The Spirit must control us. Parents must be submissive to the needs of their children and children must be submissive to the authority of their parents.

Soul Prosperity
We need to live in God’s righteousness, peace and joy on the inside all the time, not just cry out to God for it when we are in a crisis. Our soul is prospering when we are walking in step with Holy Spirit.

Living Upside Right in a Upside Down World
In our world we often associate greatness with such things as fame, fortune and influence. The icons and heros of our culture - those whom we esteem and look up to are often athletes, actors and artists. The kingdom of God is radically different for in Matthew chapter 18, Jesus turns our understanding of greatness on its head. In Jesus' mind we are greatest when we humble ourselves like that of a helpless little child. How countercultural! How subversive! Yet, how true for us today! Key Passage: Matthew 18:1-9
