On this fourth week of Lent, Rev. Tom looks at the truth that Jesus experienced Joy. He experienced the full range of human emotions, and that includes Joy. If Jesus knows us because he was like us, how can we have more joy in our lives? We believe that God doesn't want more reserved, upset, or self-righteous Christians. He wants Jesus followers full of Joy.
Get Jesus, Get Joy
Get Jesus: He Gets You

Signs of Spring
April 16, 2023 • Alec Amosson • Luke 8:4–15, Ezekiel 37:1–14
On this Sunday after Easter, Grand View takes time to continue to look at the promise and hope that through Jesus we can experience change in our lives. Old can become new, dead can become alive. The question for us this week is, can people see signs of this type of life change in you? How are you showing others (without even saying a word) the change that you have experienced through Jesus?
Get Out, Get In
April 9, 2023 • Rev. Tom Shinkle • John 20:1–3, John 20:10–16, Exodus 3:7–10
This year at Grand View throughout Holy Week we have been seeing the parallels between Jesus' work and the work of God in the Exodus story. Rev. Tom asked all of us, What is it that you need to leave behind so that God can lead you into a new promised land?
What is Your Egypt?
April 7, 2023 • Rev. Tom Shinkle
In this two part sermon, Rev. Tom Shinkle looks at both the 'traditional' Good Friday story and the story of the Exodus. This Good Friday what do you need to leave behind, like those that left Egypt in the Exodus? Jesus' death is the opportunity you may be waiting for to get rid of the old, to die to the old, to leave the old behind so that God can do something new in your life.
