Sunday Recap – (Why is waiting a good thing?)

Sunday Recap – (Why is waiting a good thing?)

This week’s sermon tackled one of the most difficult topics in our lives:  waiting.  Simply, God commands waiting and promises blessings when we obey.  Yet, we want what we want when we want it, and that wanting makes waiting nearly impossible.  Towards that end, we asked this Big Picture Question: Big Picture Question:  Why is waiting a good thing?  And we attempted to answer that question in this way.  Waiting is a good thing because when we wait… We understand…

Sunday Recap – (How do we bear the weight that burdens us?)

Sunday Recap – (How do we bear the weight that burdens us?)

Wow, Labor Day Sunday, the pastor with no voice, and the sermon that nearly ate all of us. If you weren’t with us, you were greatly missed.  Thankfully, we had lots of EG family returning from vacation and several first time visitors.  By God’s grace, I hoarse-croaked through the songs and sermon (still no idea why I lost my voice). Why did the sermon nearly eat all of us?  Well, I first began the sermon two weeks ago, and I…

Sunday Recap – (How does Jesus help you?)

Sunday Recap – (How does Jesus help you?)

As for the sermon, we looked at the end of John 15 and the beginning of chapter 16 where Jesus was prepping the disciples for his departure. We began with looking at Psalm 121 asking the question, “Psalm 121:1 I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?”  This was the cry of a man who lost his home, his job, his church, and he could no longer care for his family.  Yet, in the…

Sunday Recap – 8/7 (What is the gift of encouragement?)

Sunday Recap – 8/7 (What is the gift of encouragement?)

Here we are with only one sermon to go in our spiritual gifts series.  I’ve enjoyed it, and I’ve enjoyed the follow up conversations even more.  Again, feel free to reach out to me if you want to interact. This week’s spiritual gift is the gift of encouragement.  While the gift is mentioned in several places, we read Romans 12: Romans 12:6 “We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him…

Evident Grace Moves to YMCA on May 1st

Evident Grace Fellowship is moving to the YMCA on Smith Station Road on May 1st, and our services will be at 10am. How is that for a first sentence?  So, why are we moving? Well, it is not because Courthouse Road Elementary has not been a fantastic host to us.  They are and have been awesome.  Everyone from the administrators, teachers, PTA leaders, the students, and staff have been gracious to us.  The space is nearly perfect, and we love…

EG Christmas series, “Christmas For You”

EG Christmas series, “Christmas For You”

Thanksgiving has come and gone, and the Christmas season is in full swing.  And while we decorate our homes and purchase presents, we always hear the exhortations from “The Charlie Brown Christmas” reminding us of the true meaning of the day.  So many of us love Linus’ speech telling us that it isn’t the tree that matters.  With so many things to distract us, we always need to take a moment to remind ourselves the importance of the season. That…

Evident Grace Partners for South Carolina Flood Relief

Evident Grace Partners for South Carolina Flood Relief

Mere weeks ago, South Carolina suffered from what many called a “thousand year” event.  Heavy rains flooded the rivers and banks, and devastation overran much of the area leaving many with damaged homes and even more homeless.  Business and government buildings were not spared either.  Sadly, in our minute by minute culture the events a month ago have been long forgotten while the need ever increases.  Just this past week, rains once again flooded much of the SC. Evident Grace, like…

Help Evident Grace assist South Carolina flood victims

Help Evident Grace assist South Carolina flood victims

The flooding devastation in SC has been described as a “Once in a 1,000 year” event, and some newscasters have been so bold as to declare it as, “Biblical in scope”.  The bottom line is that the cost is in the 100’s of millions, and the loss of life and effects on people’s lives will be felt for generations. Evident Grace wants to help, and we want to invite the church and the community to partner with us.  Our denomination’s disaster…
