Grace Atlanta Bible ChurchWe cordially invite you to attend our Easter church services this Sunday, April 4, as we celebrate the reality of the resurrection of Jesus Christ! Join us at 10:30 for our half-hour coffee break, where our guests and members have time to mingle, enjoy light snacks, and socialize. Our Easter service will begin at 11 am. Join us for the encouragement that the Bible provides for the true meaning of Easter- the Resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
Join us as we start a new sermon series on the book of Amos, beginning Sunday Feb 28th at 11 am.
Amos is a prophet from the southern kingdom (Judah) who prophesies to the Northern Kingdom of Israel during the height of their economic prosperity, but when they were spiritually smug and morally corrupt. Idolatry, extravagance and oppression of the poor were common sights. Amos has a message of judgment against the nations, and especially against Israel for the consequences of their covenant rebellion. Learn about justice and righteousness (Amos 5:24) from the perspective of the sovereign Lord, who holds the destiny of all people in his hands. As Amos states about God: “The Lion has roared, who will not fear? The Sovereign Lord has spoken- who can but prophesy?” Amos 3:8.
Our current sermon series is on the single chapter book of Jude. Come learn from the half-brother of Jesus who warns his readers of dangers that lurk within the church. Discernment is necessary for all believers living in any age. Join us to hear how Jude urges Christians to “contend for the faith” (v 3) with effort and urgency. He reminds of us to keep the faith, to recognize the enemy within and to use discernment to recognize error. Are we contending for the faith in our generation? Are we committing our time, resources and attitude to work for the Lord and His glory?
During the Bible hour we are studying doctrines and practices of the church. Pastor Matt is leading a study over viewing GABC’s Doctrinal statement, which highlight the essential elements of Biblical Christianity. Join us as we discuss six fundamental doctrines including: The Trinity, Verbal Plenary Inspiration of Scripture, The Virgin Birth and Deity of Christ, The Vicarious (Substitutionary) Penal Atonement of Christ, The Literal Resurrection and The Literal Second Return of Christ. We will also discuss five non-negotiable practices of the church including: The Preaching of God’s Word, the Discipleship of Believers, the Evangelism of Unbelievers, the Refutation of Heresy and the Social Implications of the Gospel. First hour is interactive with time for questions and answers.
Is morality relative? What allegiance do modern believers have to the Ten Commandments and why?
Come join us as we learn together how the Ten Commandments are optimized for people of faith. We will see that God gave law to a people He had already initiated a relationship with and redeemed from Egypt; this reminds the Israelites that obedience did not earn them a relationship with God; rather obedience was to be their response in faith to God’s rescue. Since the morality of the Ten Commandments is rooted in the character of God himself, following them is a reflection of our exclusive loyalty to our Heavenly Father. Join us as we discover how God’s laws are gracious guardrails to guide us in our love toward God and fellow man. How deserving God is of our exclusive attention and worship!
What does it mean to trust God with the challenges of life? How should I respond to difficult situations? When concentric circles of problems surround us like a target, do we become more bitter or more faithful?
Join us as we study the book of Ruth during the 11:00 service as we see how a series of “downs and downs in life” impact Naomi’s faith in the Lord. We will see how faith and action are not contradictory concepts, but complementary ones. We will learn that the most faithful people in Scripture are the ones who are most familiar with the loving kindness of God. In a culture that is self-obsessed, we see Ruth and Boaz’s faithful initiative as refreshing obedience.
How can we be more faithful to the Lord? The book of Ruth may just show us the way.
