The Grace Project exists to break through the surface of religion to reveal a real relationship centered around Jesus.

In each episode, we will dive deeper into topics and conversations that go beyond the "Sunday-morning-faith" in the effort to pull back the curtain on what following Jesus actually looks like.

After a great persecution broke out against the early church, Luke tells us that those who were scattered preached the word wherever they went. Life in the Spirit means that He sends us out as the church and will work in us and through us to share the gospel with people in our various spheres of influence. Acts 8:4 - Those who had been scattered pr…

The church is the body of Christ. Jesus, as the Head of the Church, works in us and through us to play certain roles in the body as a part of His Kingdom work. He works with our natural gifts and the spiritual gifts we receive as we are born again into His body. The apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 12, gives us a more in-depth look as to what that loo…

The Christmas story is about King Jesus becoming what we are so that we might become what He is (a son of God). But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship. (Galatians 4:4-5) CONNECT WITH US Are you new to Colonial Hills? Go to …

700 years before Jesus was born, Isaiah foretells of his birth that would be a gift of God. He says that He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. These names represent Jesus nature and character. For those who are in Christ, you are in union and can draw upon Jesus as your Wonderful Counselor, Mighty G…

Stephen becomes the first martyr in the early church after sharing his faith with the religious leaders of his day.

In Acts 6, we begin to see normal church members empowered by the Holy Spirit and used in God's Kingdom work in the church and out in the world.

Acts 6:8 - Now Stephen, a man full of God’s grace and power, performed great wonders an…

Life in the Spirit means that He will lead and empower believers to rejoice in suffering and use it for a greater purpose.

Life in the Spirit looks like Him leading and empowering the church to meet the needs of those within the church family. In the early church, we are told that there were no needy persons among them.

Peter, emboldened by the Holy Spirit, declares before the powerful religious leaders of his day that no one can be saved except through the name of Jesus and that they can't help but speak about what they had seen and heard. The religious leaders are astonished at the courage of these unschooled, ordinary men. Life in the Spirit means that God can …

After Jesus heals a lame beggar through Peter, He uses Peter to share the gospel with the Jewish people in the temple. If they will repent and turn to God through faith in Jesus, they will have their sins wiped out, times of refreshing will come, and they will share in the restoration of all things. Life in the Spirit means that He will use us to s…

Life in the Spirit is not just an individual walk with the Lord but a shared life (koinonia) with other believers. It's a life of living in community that is directed and empowered by the Holy Spirit. This is what we see in Acts 2:42-47 in the early church, and it is the same thing the Spirit does in and through the church today. CONNECT WITH US Ar…

What is the good life? Is it the American Dream? Is it found when we get to a certain point in life or through certain experiences we have? Actually, Scripture tells us it is something very different! The good life is found in a Person!

72% of those who accept Christ do so before the age of 18. This makes what we do to reach the next-generation so important!

Pride divides, but humility unifies. When the church lives is humility and is like-minded, sharing the same love, and of one mind and one spirit, there is no limit to what Jesus can accomplish through us. When selfish ambition and vain conceit rule the day, it divides the church and allows room for Satan to steal, kill, and destroy. Sermon Passage:…

The justice of God encompasses both His righteousness and His judgment. It's the attribute by which God acts in accordance with His perfect nature, upholding what is right and addressing what is wrong. Because God is just, He cannot overlook sin. He poured out His wrath on His Son as a propitiation for our sins. He is just and the justifier of the …

The holiness of God is a comprehensive term to denote all that God is in His transcendent majesty and infinite moral purity (Jerry Bridges).

Fear, Worry, and Anxiety can cripple us. We worry about our finances, relationships, career, health, and much more.

While technology can be used for good, it can also be a tool in the hands of Satan that is used to steal, kill, and destroy.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by…

Comparison is a tool of Satan used to rob us of our joy in Christ. He convinces us to find our value and worth by comparing ourselves to others and then leaves us feeling either insecure and inferior or prideful and superior to them. Either way, it leaves us stuck at a roadblock that can be difficult to move beyond in our lives. CONNECT WITH US Are…

On Jesus' road to the resurrection, Mary expresses one of the most humble and uninhibited acts of worship towards Jesus as He is prepared for His future burial.

We all have enemies, but Jesus tells us to love them, do good to them, bless them, and pray for them. The problem is that you and I can't do that.

What does the parable of the wineskin mean in Luke 5? Jesus is saying that the new wine of the gospel must be placed in the new wineskin of grace, not into the old wineskins of law!

Jesus invested in messy people. He ate and drank with sinners and tax collectors. If Jesus expresses His life through us today, then we should expect Him to lead us to also invest in and be in relationship with the sinners and tax collectors of our day.

People often use the phrase, "Share the gospel, and if necessary, use words," but when you look at the way Jesus lived during His earthly ministry, He did use words!
