    Two Simple Words WATCH US ON YOUTUBE LIVE @ http://www.youtube.com/gracechurch-slus/live Matthew 4:12–25 12 Now when he heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee. 13 And leaving Nazareth he went and lived in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali, 14 so that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: 15 “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—16 the people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light, and for those dwelling in the region and shadow of death, on them a light has dawned.” 17 From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” 18 While walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. 19 And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”[b] 20 Immediately they left their nets and followed him. 21 And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them. 22 Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him. 23 And he went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction among the people. 24 So his fame spread throughout all Syria, and they brought him all the sick, those afflicted with various diseases and pains, those oppressed by demons, those having seizures, and paralytics, and he healed them. 25 And great crowds followed him from Galilee and the Decapolis, and from Jerusalem and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan. Me Who’s the “Me” that’s being followed here? The Savior The Messiah, The Promised One Jesus does not need your acceptance. We need him. Matthew 4:13–14: 13 And leaving Nazareth he went and lived in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali, 14 so that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled Follow To follow Jesus means to live with radical abandonment for His glory. Follow Me means leaving behind For all who follow Jesus, comfort and certainty in this world are no longer your concern Abandon all Our possessions, Our position. Our Safety Matthew 13:44 “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. Consider the cost of discipleship. We have found Someone Who is worth losing everything for To live with joyful dependence on His grace. To live with faithful adherence to His person. To live with total trust in His authority. How To live with urgent obedience to His mission. Consider the cost of non-discipleship. We miss out on the abundance, and the joy, and the peace, and the satisfaction, and the power that Jesus has promised to all who will leave behind, let go of all things and cling to Him GRACE BAPTIST OF SECOND LIFE GRACE BAPTIST PODCAST HTTPS://PODPOINT.COM/GRACE-BAPTIST-CHURCH-OF-SECOND-LIFE-PODCAST WEBSITE https://gracebaptistofsecondlife.godaddysites.com

  • The Hallelujah Chorus
    2026/06/11
    The Hallelujah Chorus WATCH US ON YOU TUBE LIVE @ http://www.youtube.com/gracechurch-slus/live Man-centered worldliness will ultimately be overcome by God-centered worship. 1. God orchestrates all of history to display His glory. God ordains all of His people to enjoy His glory. 2 So bow before the splendor of God the Father. He is victorious. He is glorious. He is omnipotent. He is just. He is eternal. He is mighty. He is sovereign. 3. And behold the supremacy of Christ the Son He is faithful and true. He is the righteous Judge. He is the Messianic warrior. He sees all, knows all, and judges all. There are many crowns on His head. There is much mystery to His name. He conquers God’s enemies. He reveals God’s Word. He ends the history of this world. He rules the nations of this world. 4. He brings God’s wrath upon this world. 1.) Upon sinful men and women. 2.) Upon Satanic agents and ambassadors. He is King of kings. He is Lord of lords. Let’s revere Him. Let’s rejoice in Him. Let’s be ready for His coming. Let’s walk by faith in Him. Let’s work by grace from Him. For we will reign with Him forever. Grace Baptist Church Grace Baptist Church Podcast HTTPS://PODPOINT.COM/GRACE-BAPTIST-CHURCH-OF-SECOND-LIFE-PODCAST WEBSITE https://gracebaptistofsecondlife.godaddysites.com After this I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying out, “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, for his judgments are true and just; for he has judged the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her immorality, and has avenged on her the blood of his servants.” Once more they cried out, “Hallelujah! The smoke from her goes up forever and ever.” And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who was seated on the throne, saying, “Amen. Hallelujah!”And from the throne came a voice saying, “Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, small and great.” Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready; it was granted her to clothe herself with fine linen, bright and pure”—for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints. And the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These are the true words of God.” Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me,“You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God.” For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. Then I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords. Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to all the birds that fly directly overhead, “Come, gather for the great supper of God, to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, both small and great.” And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who was sitting on the horse and against his army. And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. And the rest were slain by the sword that came from the mouth of him who was sitting on the horse, and all the birds were gorged with their flesh (Rev. 19:1–21).

    The Word Of God Teaches Us WATCH US ON YOU TUBE LIVE @ http://www.youtube.com/gracechurch-slus/live The Works of God Psalm 19:1-6 1 The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above[a] proclaims his handiwork. 2 Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. 3 There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard. 4 Their voice[b] goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun, 5 which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy. 6 Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them, and there is nothing hidden from its heat. God is not hiding Himself from men. Men are hiding themselves from God It tells us about the power of God and the immensity of God. The Word of God 7 The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; 8 the precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; 9 the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the rules[d] of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb. 11 Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward. 12 Who can discern his errors? Declare me innocent from hidden faults. 13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me! Then I shall be blameless, and innocent of great transgression. 14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Psalms 19:7-14 Six descriptions of the Word of God, The law of the Lord is perfect (verse 7), reviving the soul.” The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.” The fear of the Lord is clean, The rules of the Lord are true and are righteous altogether.

  • The Word of God Connects us
    2026/06/01
    The Word Of God Converts Us WATCH US ON YOU TUBE LIVE @ http://www.youtube.com/gracechurch-slus/live Reasons People don’t read the bible The Bible seems to be a complicated book. Just do not see it as important They may read the Word, but they are not nourished by it Some people are indifferent. A 40 Day Challenge It’s for struggling Christians. It’s for the lapsed Christian. It’s for people with other religions. We are converted by the Word 14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, 15 but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” 17 And if you call on him as Father who judges impartially according to each one's deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile, 18 knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. 20 He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you 21 who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God. 22 Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart, 23 since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God; 24 for “All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, 25 but the word of the Lord remains forever.” And this word is the good news that was preached to you. 1 Peter 1:14-25 We are nourished by the Word. 1 Peter 2:1-3 So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander. 2 Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation— 3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good. They are born complete Thet are born desiring God’s word We are transformed by the Word of God God wills that we grow into a predetermined image, namely the image of Jesus Growth can only take place with the intake of the Word of God. 6 If you put these things before the brothers,[a] you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, being trained in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine that you have followed. 7 Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness; 8 for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come. 9 The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance. 10 For to this end we toil and strive,[b] because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.

    2026/05/28
    How Do We Worship God in His Wrath? WATCH US ON YOU TUBE LIVE @ http://www.youtube.com/gracechurch-slus/live A Quick Review of Revelation 15–16 The book of Revelation is a series of apocalyptic visions filled with prophetic pronouncements written as a congregational letter. These visions include various symbols and numbers (which often lead to various interpretations. These visions are arranged cyclically, not chronologically. II. A Critical Question in Revelation 15–16 Start with a high view of God. God is sovereign over all. God is feared by all. God is glorified above all. God is holy in all His attributes. God is righteous in all His ways. God is loving toward all His creation B. Move to a humble view of man. The Magnitude of Sin The rebellion and wickedness of men and women upon the earth. We have defamed the Glory of God We have dishonored the Holiness of God We have denied the Love of God. C. The Hope of the Gospel At the cross, God has expressed His wrath toward sin. At the Cross God poured out His righteous judgment on sin. At the cross, God has endured His wrath against sin. At the cross, God has enabled salvation for sinners. Application Head: How does this passage change my understanding of the Lord? (How does this impact what I think?) Heart: How does this passage correct my understanding of who I am to the Lord? (How should this impact my affections and what I feel?) Hands: How should this change the way I view and relate to others and the world? (How does this impact what I should do?)
