Welcome to the Grace Hill Church sermon podcast! This week marks "Think Differently Week 8," and we are excited to feature a message by Randall Johnson, one of our elders, who spoke on Philippians 3:1-11. In his message, Randall explores the two paths to salvation taught by the world's religions: works and faith. While every other religion teaches salvation by works, Christianity offers a different path. Christianity recognizes that we don't have the ability to win God over by our goodness alone. We need someone to pay the penalty for our rebellion, and that someone is Jesus. Randall reminds us that false teachers may try to convince us that we need to keep the Law of Moses or submit to circumcision to earn God's favor. But Paul, in his letter to the Philippians, warns against putting confidence in the flesh. As followers of Jesus, we are truly circumcised when we worship by the Holy Spirit of God. Join us as we reflect on this powerful message and learn how we can embrace salvation by faith alone. Don't forget to subscribe to our podcast to stay up-to-date with our weekly sermons!

What if your story didn’t begin with shame or strength, but with Jesus? In this message, Pastor Jason explores the powerful truth behind the line from the Nicene Creed: “Through him all things were made.” From your body to your neighbor to the planet itself, everything in creation bears his fingerprints. This episode is a call to remember our Maker, reject cultural counterfeits, and reclaim our role as caretakers, not consumers of all that Jesus made and still holds together.…
In a world full of fake promises and shallow saviors, how do we know who to trust? This week, Pastor Jason unpacks Hebrews 1:1–4 and the bold claim of the Nicene Creed: that Jesus is not a created being, but the eternal Son of God—begotten, not made. With stories, cultural insight, and gospel clarity, this message challenges us to reject the knockoff versions of Jesus and worship the One who alone can save.…
In a world overflowing with choices, allegiances, and competing voices, what does it mean to confess, "We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth"? This week, we explore the first article of the Nicene Creed and the invitation it offers us to re-anchor our lives in the one true God. Left to ourselves, we are prone to create idols, good things turned into ultimate things that eventually collapse under the weight of our hopes. But the Creed reminds us: there are not many powers to trust, only One, and He is enough. If you’ve ever felt scattered by the noise of modern life, or frustrated by the ways lesser allegiances have hollowed out much of the church’s witness, you’re not alone. This message offers both a warning and a hope: we don't have to keep building altars to things that can't save us. We can find our way back to the Source, the Sustainer, and the only Savior who will never fail. Join us as we uncover the grace, strength, and security that come from trusting the One and Only God.…

In today’s teaching, we return to the empty tomb in Luke 24 to rediscover the power of Jesus’ words when everything else feels lost. Through the stories of Bonhoeffer, Polycarp, and the women at the tomb, we’re reminded that resurrection hope doesn’t begin when everything is fixed—it begins when we remember what Jesus has already said. If you’re feeling weary, uncertain, or walking through a valley, we invite you to cling to the unshakable promises of the Risen Christ.…
On Palm Sunday, Jesus rides into Jerusalem not as a coming king, but as THE King—humble, unexpected, and unlike anything the crowd hoped for. In this teaching, Jason unpacks how the colt, the cheers, and even creation reveal who Jesus truly is. But five days later, the same crowd that shouted “Hosanna” cries “Crucify him.” Why? Because Jesus refuses to be the King we want—He insists on being the King we need.…
Kara's message this week is from Luke 15-- the story we know as the Prodigal Son. But it's not just a story about one lost son. It's a story about two very different kinds of people-- both equally in need of grace. Kara's message will challenge your assumptions, soften your heart, and help you experience the grace of God in a deeper way-- not just so you can receive it, but so you can mirror it. Because grace isn't something we hoard... It's something we pass on. If you've ever wondered how God could welcome certain people... or if you've ever doubted that He could still welcome you-- this message is for you.…
In today’s teaching, Jason dives into the concept of courage, drawing inspiration from the Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz. Much like the lion, many of us know courage is necessary in our lives, but we often struggle to find it. Jesus' journey to Jerusalem in Luke 13 serves as a powerful example of courage in the face of threats, bullies, and the unknown. Through examining Jesus' responses to the threats from Herod, His confrontation with bullies, and His embrace of sacrifice despite the future pain ahead, Jason challenges us to reflect on our own courage. He reminds us that real peace requires courage, and that God is always on the side of the oppressed. Will we choose to be peacekeepers or peacemakers, embracing the courage that Jesus modeled for us?…
Who are the people we gravitate toward? And who do we tend to overlook? In today's teaching, we examine Jesus' radical teaching in Luke 6:17-26 to see who is truly blessed in the kingdom of God. While the world values success, wealth, and influence, Jesus flips the script—declaring the poor, the hungry, and the persecuted as blessed. We’ll explore how this challenges our natural biases, the way we interact with others, and how we can mirror Jesus’ upside-down values in our own lives. Are we willing to step outside our comfort zones to love and engage with those society often dismisses?…
Today's teaching focuses on Jesus' temptation in the wilderness, as recorded in Luke 4:1-13. Temptation is something we all face, and whether we give in or stand strong, the consequences are real. But how did Jesus resist temptation? And what can His example teach us about standing firm in our faith? Join us as we learn how to mirror Jesus’ overcoming of temptation and find strength to resist the forces that try to lead us astray.…
This week we are exploring how the voices and influences in our lives—whether they be from social media, newsfeeds, political affiliations, or even friends—shape our worldview and ultimately guide our paths. We are looking at Luke 6:39-49 to help us reflect on how following the wrong voices can lead us into destructive patterns, and how critical it is to intentionally examine the voices that we listen to daily. We hope today's teaching encourages you to take a closer look at the voices shaping your own life and take practical steps toward following Jesus more intentionally.…
In this episode of Grace Hill Church’s podcast, we explore one of Jesus' most challenging commands: love your enemies (Luke 6:27-36). This radical, self-sacrificing love isn’t based on feelings but on action—breaking cycles of retaliation and mirroring Christ’s heart. In a culture driven by division and outrage, Jesus calls His followers to embody costly love, not the cheap, conditional love the world offers. Tune in to this week’s teaching to consider the life-changing power of loving your enemies—because in doing so, you’ll never look more like Jesus.…
Ancient views often linked suffering to divine judgment: poverty, captivity, blindness, and oppression were seen as consequences of sin or divine abandonment. But today, we see how Jesus challenged this in Luke 4: 18-27 by proclaiming Himself as the one who came to set the oppressed free and bring healing to all— not just the chosen few. His message was initially met with applause, but this soon turned to rage as He shared Biblical stories that confronted their assumptions. Jesus' radical inclusivity remains just as challenging today. Join us for this powerful teaching on the messy, missional mercy of Jesus and how we are called to live it out today. *In this episode, we address real-life examples of mercy in action—stories of outreach, justice, and love in our communities. Some of the stories have been removed from this version of the teaching out of respect for their privacy.*…
In this conversation, we’ll reflect on how the light of Jesus guides us in three key areas: 1. Spiritual Formation over Ideological Formation – Choosing to be shaped by God's truth instead of cultural trends. 2. Embrace over Exclusion – Reflecting Jesus' inclusive love, welcoming people of all backgrounds into our community. 3. Jesus over Everything – Ensuring that Jesus remains the center of our lives and the light we reflect.…
In this special Christmas Eve teaching, we dive into the timeless longing for a Savior. As we await gifts and gatherings, there’s a deeper ache in our hearts for something—or Someone—to break through the darkness. Join us as we reflect on Isaiah’s ancient prophecy of a child who will bring light to our world and salvation to our souls. From the unexpected vulnerability of a newborn to the powerful victory of the cross, we see how Jesus is the true Savior who fulfills our deepest desires.…
