Grace Church In Noblesville & Fishers, In

Our entire culture is built around the avoidance of hardship. We value convenience, comfort, and safety above all else. Right? And this devotion to comfort and ease has crept into our faith as well. We go to church only if we're not too busy. We want following Jesus to be as low-risk as possible. We're fine being Christians as long as it doesn't cost us anything. Our faith is adrift. Why? Because we don't have grit. We haven't learned how to endure. Hebrews 12:1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. How do we endure? We must deal with our sin. We must defend our faith with boldness. We must let God shape us.

To end your drift you must increase your faith. But, to increase your faith, you will have to take some bold steps. Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see. Hebrews 11:1 By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God's command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen. Hebrews 11:3 And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him. Hebrews 11:6 What is faith? 1. Faith is the confidence that God exists. 2. Faith is the confidence that God is the originator of all things. 3. Faith is the confidence that God is actively engaged in our lives. 4. Faith is the confidence that God wants the best for us. 5. Faith is the assurance that there's more going on than our senses allow.

Ever asked the question "How did I get here? What happened to my relationship with God?" Come to Grace the next four weeks as we discuss what happens when we DRIFT apart from God - and how to re-discover, re-learn and re-engage with Jesus. "You need an encourager...someone who will remind you of the trustworthiness of God...You need a person who will not put up with your nonsense and get you back to your calling." -Dave Rodriguez Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. 24 Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. 25 And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near. Hebrews 10:23-25 Find the right people who will help bring you back.

Message from the weekend of January 28-29, 2017 at Grace Church in Noblesville, Indiana. This is week 3 of our series Drift. "So even in your darkest hours keep communicating with the only true giver of hope. He is listening. And if you can't pray - you have no more words - then please make sure someone is praying for you." -Amy Christie Here is the main point: We have a High Priest who sat down in the place of honor beside the throne of the majestic God in heaven.  There he ministers in the heavenly Tabernacle, the true place of worship that was built by the Lord and not by human hands.  And since every high priest is required to offer gifts and sacrifices, our High Priest must make an offering, too.  If he were here on earth, he would not even be a priest, since there already are priests who offer the gifts required by the law.  They serve in a system of worship that is only a copy, a shadow of the real one in heaven. For when Moses was gett

Message from the weekend of January 14-15, 2017 at Grace Church in Noblesville, Indiana. This is week 1 of our Series Drift: When Your Faith Isn't What it Used to Be. "We want to help restore your faith to what it used to be...and more!" -Dave Rodriguez 10 Signs of a drifting faith: 1. Your communion with God is waning or non-existent. 2. Your prayers have become, at best, a "laundry list"of wants. 3. When you read the Bible it is dull and meaningless. 4. Your church engagement is sporadic and lifeless. 5. You’ve faded away from your small group. 6. You’ve lost accountability. 7. Relationships, in general, have become shallow and uninspiring. 8. Your anxiety level is on the rise. 9. Your morality is slipping or tanked. 10. You are hurtling through life without meaning. Not to belabor the point but here’s another way to assess the relative vitality of your faith: The Holy Spirit produces this k

Message from Christmas Eve Services on December 23-24, 2016 at Grace Church in Noblesville, Indiana. This is week 4 of our series Because God Came Near. "You are not alone and he wants to dry your tears. You are not alone and he wants to stop the bleeding. You are not alone and he wants to mend your broken heart. You are not alone and he wants to end your isolation." -Dave Rodriguez How is it possible to be surrounded by people and still feel so isolated? How can it be that you can have all the visual trappings of the American good life and still feel so broken inside? How come it's the most wonderful time of the year...the hap-happiest season of all… and you still have to fake it and act like you have it together? You are not alone. The Lord himself will give you the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel (which means "God is with us"). Isaiah 7:14 Immanuel = God

Message from the weekend of December 17-18, 2016 at Grace Church in Noblesville, Indiana. This is week 3 of our series Because God Came Near. What would it look like for you to have the same attitude as Christ Jesus? To empty yourself of status, privilege, entitlements, and power, and to willingly become a servant of others? -Barry Rodriguez Philippians 2:6-8 Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. [Christ] took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross. When we put our trust in Jesus, we aren’t just subscribing to some list of warm and fuzzy lifestyle tips. We aren’t gaining subscription to some feel-good morality club. We are becoming a part of a brand n

Message from the weekend of December 10-11, 2016 at Grace Church in Noblesville, Indiana. This is week 2 of our series Because God Came Near. Jesus'plan was never to come near and stick around...his plan was to recruit an army of ambassadors, kingdom warriors who would expand the healing power of the kingdom throughout the world. -Dave Rodriguez For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. His government and its peace will never end. He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David for all eternity. The passionate commitment of the LORD of Heaven’s Armies will make this happen! Isaiah 9:6-7 Because it involves you. Jesus plan was never to come near and stick around...his plan was to recruit an army of ambassadors, kingdom warriors who would expand the healing power of the kingdom throughout the world.&

Dave Rodriguez wraps up the Days of Wind & Fire series wondering, are we on the verge of revival. The power of the Holy Spirit has moved us in ways that we've realized the power of the Holy Spirit is exactly what this world and nation needs now more than ever. Dave shares many stories of supernatural becoming natural that have happened over the course of this series.

For 25 years we have sought to become a church that is a part of changing the world in Jesus name. We've reinvented, renewed, adjusted, and modified just about everything we understood about church to be better poised and aligned to unlock and advance the Kingdom of God and make more and better disciples of Jesus. So, are we there? Have we made it? Have we arrived, finally, at a place of full ecclesial competency? Are we all of who God wants us to be as a community on mission with Him? No. We still need the supernatural to become natural. We need the wind and fire of Acts 2 to become normative. We need to find a way to tap into whatever the first church had discovered. We need to find the portal to God's world. We need power and prophecy and dreams and visions, and healing. We need revival and that is what this series is all about.
