The Midwives who Feared God

by with No Comment Sermons
Exodus 1:1-22 The king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, whose names were Shiphrah and Puah, “When you are helping the Hebrew women during childbirth on the delivery stool, if you see that the baby is a boy, kill him; but if it is a girl, let her live.” The midwives, however, feared God and did not do what the king of Egypt had told them to do; they let the boys live.

The Power of Forgiveness

by with No Comment Sermons
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.”

Grace-Filled Sunday with Guest Speaker and Visiting Family Members

by with No Comment News
Gratia Church experienced a grace-filled Sunday worship service on June 29, joined by guest speaker Pastor Larry Wesley and visiting family members.

Pastor Larry Wesley delivered a powerful sermon from Genesis 22, calling the congregation to live with authenticity and true repentance. Reflecting on Abraham’s willingness to offer Isaac in obedience to God, Pastor Wesley emphasized that genuine faith is not merely about outward acts of devotion, but about inward surrender-marked by trust, integrity, and obedience to God’s voice, even when it requires deep sacrifice.

He challenged the congregation to lay down personal idols, confront hidden compromises, and return wholeheartedly to the Lord. True worship, he reminded, comes from a heart that yields fully to God in humility and truth. After the service, everyone shared grace from the Word and had fellowship, enjoying a joyful Sunday meal together. It was a beautiful and strengthening moment to see families and friends gathered in unity to worship. May the work of the Holy Spirit continue to dwell in the hearts of all who attended.

As the retreat came to an end, hearts were renewed, faith was deepened, and many left with a clearer vision of the living Christ in their lives.
