THIS COMING SUNDAY - November 5th​​​​​
8:30 a.m. & 10:30 a.m.
Message - SONSHIP: Your Place in God's Family!
​​​​​​​
One of the great revelations in the New Testament for believers is that through Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, we are brought into God’s family and called sons. Sonship has to do with our position and place in God’s family. Family, after all, was God’s idea originally. This is the what He has chosen for us. This is what He now calls us. This is how He now relates to us. Yes, it seems too good to be true. 

This is the reason the enemy is able to so easily deceive us into living below our privileges as children in God’s family. By privilege, I am not saying we demand things from God. I am saying that our privilege invites us to access what God has already made available to us; and because of this, we can with authority and command order the enemy to back off. 

I look forward to sharing some really life-changing truths with you on this fascinating subject this Sunday morning, Nov. 5th. at Grace House. Services begin at 8:45 a.m. & 10:30 a.m. Come experience the joy and learn who you really are in Christ.

Bring Your Veteran Photos this Sunday!!

On Sunday morning, November 12th, we will honor all veterans present in our service. In addition, we will be having a Hall of Honor where we will place a military photo of those who have served who are connected to Grace House. If you, or your parent or child, have served in country in any branch of the military, then please bring a 5x7 or similar size framed photo of the person in uniform if possible. Please do not bring anything larger than an 8x10. The smaller frames are preferred just due to the number of photos and space needed. Beginning next Sunday, October 29th, we will be receiving these framed photos. We will have labels for you to fill out to place on back with the name of the person, what branch of the military, when and where they served. This Veterans Day weekend will be very special at Grace House.

Pastor Eddie will be ministering in South Korea for nine days preaching and teaching on the Ministering in Kingdom Power and Authority. He will be ministering to Leaders and students who are very hungry to know more about the Holy Spirit, His gifts, and power. Please pray that Pastor Eddie will hear clearly as he has the opportunity to minister prophetically to each person in attendance at the Spiritual Coaching Schools in which he will be ministering.There will be an opportunity to sow into this trip this coming Sunday at GH.

Also we are excited about Blake Kasmeir going to Vietnam and James Nesbit ministering in Israel in the month of March. We will be praying for them in our services and GH will also sow into these trips as well through your regular giving. In addition, we will also be sowing in the Ricketts ministry in Thailand as they reach the children who are suffering due to human trafficking. We are grateful to be able to sow into other ministries on a regular basis as well. God blesses the people who bless missions!
