Grace Chapel Church Podcast | Franklin, TN

In the final part of the series, Pastor Steve speaks on the final three action items needed in order to successfully rebuild your life: 1) Celebrate Victories and be joyful for God's goodness; 2) Stay Humble; 3) Beware of Compromise that so easily and quickly sneaks in.

In part 9 of Rebuild, Don't Relax, Pastor Steve speaks on five things that will cause a miraculous rebuilding in your life that even your enemies must admit it was the work of God: 1) Value your rebuilding more than you heed enemies’ distractions; 2) Recognize the lies; 3) Know who you are in Christ; 4) Reject fear; 5) Receive God’s strength through prayer.

Pastor Dave Buehring teaches on guarding your heart above all else (Proverbs 4:23) by realigning to God's plumb line, responding in obedience, and resisting offense.

Preaching from Nehemiah 5, Pastor Jimmy speaks on the fear of the Lord - to fear the Lord is to know God and to know God is to fear the Lord, which comes from a correct knowledge of the character of God.

From Nehemiah 4, Pastor Steve discusses the issue of cleaning up our rubbish as we rebuild our lives. So what do we do with our burnt, broken, and fallen places in our life? We position trusted people by it, position encouraging people by it, position armed people by it, rebuild with your sword (Word of God) at your side, and be committed to have a mind to work.

In Part 6, Pastor Jimmy Harris encourages the church to BOLDLY approach God's Throne with our requests. Oftentimes, we don't rebuild our life because we "aim too low." The problem is not always failure -- it's small successes, good intentions, and compromises. So ask boldly with confidence! Unless you go really big, you won't need God to show up.

In Part 5, Pastor Steve tackles the topic of making tough decisions in order to deal with our sin as we rebuild our lives. Sometimes, the things holding us back from God's best for our lives are not blatantly "sin", but rather "weight" that that we need to lay aside to rebuild (Hebrews 12:1).

Last week, Pastor Steve talked about how obedient rebuilding is an invitation to opposition. But the story doesn't stop there! In Part 4, Pastor Steve speaks on how obedience is also an opportunity for God's Provision. Through Jesus, we have been given everything to rebuild our lives in Christ. He has held nothing back!

In Part 3, Pastor Steve talks about how obedient rebuilding is an invitation to opposition from the enemy. Just because you are doing the right thing does not mean that things are going to be easy; in fact, many times it's just the opposite. But, placing our confidence in the power of God's Spirit will help ensure we get to the other side of our opposition.

In Part 2, Pastor Steve unpacks the foundations of rebuilding, which requires a commitment to being part of a unified community, being people of prayer, being people of the Word (hearers and doers), and being people of passionate worship -- Community. Prayer. Word. Worship.

Pastor Steve's new series, Rebuild Don't Relax, takes us through the books of Ezra and Nehemiah. Through historical, Biblical, and political lenses, Pastor Steve charges the church with the fact that it's not time to relax - it's time to rebuild, it’s time to be on the offensive and take ground that has been made possible to take. Things the body of Christ has been praying for, fasting for, and weeping for for decades are within reach and there is a real hope of them happening. 

In the 2017 State of the Church address, Pastor Steve revisits all God has done in 2016 in and through us. Pastor Steve also casts the vision for 2017, saying we aren’t stopping, slowing down or resting on past accomplishments. We are going to continue to storm the gates of hell, set captives free, save souls, make disciples, strengthen families and give all the glory to God!

After praying over the people last week, Pastor Steve returns to the pulpit to teach us about fasting, which is a beautiful Christian discipline that unlocks more of God's supernatural power in your life!

We gather as one large body of Jesus followers to start the new year in worship and prayer. Every single individual and family is prayed over, specifically that in the coming new year we would have an INCREASED: 1) Hunger for God 2) Seeking of God 3) Love of God 4) Power of God 5) Favor of God 6) Ways of God 7) Mission with God.

Preaching from the book of Ruth, Pastor Steve presents the opportunity to bring your devastated, backslidden, disobedient self back home and eat the Bread of Life to find satisfaction on earth and eternal life in heaven! No matter who you are or what you've done, you can be forgiven and satisfied by the Bread of Life Himself, Jesus.
