The Life of David:

How to Love an Enemy



Sunday, Pastor Kevin Maurice continued our fall series on the Life of David with a sermon from 1 Samuel 24 and 26. In it, Dr. Maurice examined David's forgiveness of King Saul and discussed how we can apply the principles found in this story to our own lives. To love our enemies, we must see them the way God sees them, trust God for justice and forgive them with healthy boundaries. Let's lift our eyes from the enemies before us to Jesus, who died for us while we were still enemies so that we could become the children of God.

This week: Pastor Kevin Maurice will continue our fall series on the Life of David. Join us!

Adult Baptisms at Grace

Sunday, December 31

Baptisms will take place during the service on Sunday, Dec. 31, and again during Summer Kick-Off in early June 2024. Baptism applications must be submitted by Sunday, Dec. 10 and pastoral meetings held by Friday, Dec. 15 in order to participate in the Dec. 31 baptism.

We also love to celebrate baptisms with smaller communities of believers at Grace! If you’re interested in being baptized with a group with whom you’re connected, we can arrange an interview and then set up a time to be baptized in a public pool, lake, backyard, etc. Please complete the Baptism Application form and contact Dr. Kevin Maurice, Pastor of Adult Ministry, for more information.
