Even long-time believers struggle with sin and can be tempted to hide or deny it. In this sermon from Psalm 32, guest pastor T.J. Smith looks at the blessing of forgiveness, the danger of concealing sin, and the definition of Christian confession. When we confess our sins to our loving Creator, we can experience the joy and peace that comes from knowing we are forgiven. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

Fully Known and Loved by God

Fear the Lord

August 18, 2024 • Guest • Ecclesiastes 5:1–7

How do we approach a holy God? In this sermon from Ecclesiastes 5:1-7, guest pastor Stephen Coppenrath encourages us to approach the Lord with reverence and humility, to listen to and obey his Word, and to speak to him with sincerity, honesty, and great respect. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

Taste and See

August 11, 2024 • Guest • Psalm 34

As believers, do we more often live out of faith or find ourselves living out of fear? In this sermon from Psalm 34, guest pastor Noah Winningham looks at David’s example of moving from fear to faith, as he began to regularly praise the Lord, boast about what God had done, and invite others to magnify the Lord with him. As we move into faith, we can taste and see that the Lord is good. He delivers us from fear, removes our shame, saves us, and protects us. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.
