Grace Church Abu Dhabi Sermons

The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. (Num. 6:24-26).

The story of the wise men gives us eight reasons to trust Christ, which will result in him being the very center of our lives.

The book of Isaiah show a familiar pattern, Israel and Ahaz live against God's good laws, God calls them to repent, they don't, and God allows their sin to be punished. Despite this repeated pattern beginning with Adam, God has always had a plan, and his plan is to save his children through the bruising of his Son.

To be gripped by the wonder of Christ's birth, it's important to understand who Christ was before he was born.

We all know that Jesus calls us to be fishers of men, but for some reason we miss the amazing promise he makes to us about this.

In this passage God calls us to not settle for shallow, trivial fellowship, but to understand and pursue the life-changing fellowship God has for us.

This sermon exploreis the urgency of serving others based on 1 Peter 4:7-11, emphasizing the importance of love as the driving force behind selfless service and highlighting the transformative power of God's grace in fulfilling our highest calling—to bring glory to the One who is worthy of all praise, honor, and adoration.

In Romans 12:3-8 Paul warns us of a danger we will face when we pursue spiritual gifts, and also tells us how we should go about pursuing them.

As Grace Church faces a trial, we take this Sunday to look at what God promises about our trials, and how we should respond to our trials.

In 1 Corinthians 13 Paul says there will come a time when certain spiritual gifts will cease. So when is that? And what does this mean for us?

One of our convictions is that God calls us to be a worshiping church. In this passage we learn why David worshiped, and how David worshiped, so we can grow together in worship.

Romans 8:31-39 shows us that we can be sure of our salvation in Christ and certain of God's love for us in Christ.

In this sermon we will dig into what it means to suffer with Christ, and the five reasons Paul gives for why suffering with Christ is worth the glory that will experience in Christ forever.

Paul describes the difference between those who live according to the flesh and those who live according to the Spirit. He assures us that those who are in Christ by faith are also in the Spirit. We now enjoy the Spirit's life giving presence and the hope that one day, through the Spirit, God will give life to our mortal bodies.

Paul brings the previous chapters to a conclusion by celebrating that there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because everyone who is in Christ has had their sin condemned in Jesus' flesh and has this confirmed by the Spirit's work of freeing them from sin.

To show how powerful sin is, Paul describes how hard sin is to battle against.

Paul has said some negative things about the Law of Moses, and so explains that the problem is the way our sin has responded to God's Law. He wants us to understand that the Law is holy, righteous, and good.

All of us were enslaved to sin because we were born under the law and had no righteousness of our own. Through Christ, we are set free from the bondage of our sin and through the power of grace, live holy lives in submission to God. Grace's reward is eternal life and sin offers death.

Through Jesus's sacrifice, we die to ourself and experience new life, and through Jesus's resurrection he redeems us in the next life. Now, we are called to die to self in order to be god's righteousness instruments for his kingdom.
