This Sunday in worship we will continue our series on the Lord’s Prayer by digging into the phrase, “Thy will be done.” I invite you to join us in person or online as we seek God’s will in our lives.
This Sunday in 3/2 Worship
This Sunday is “Transfiguration Sunday” on the Christian calendar. Every time we tell the story of the Transfiguration of Jesus, I think about Calvin and his transmogrifier machine. Jesus didn’t step into a cardboard box, instead he took two of his disciples to the top of Mount Tabor.

On Sunday, Pastor Mitch and I will switch places as we continue our sermon series on Gandhi’s Seven Deadly Social Sins. This week our subject is “Worship Without Sacrifice.” Mitch will preach the traditional worship, and I will lead at Common Grace. We are looking forward to exploring some important questions. Why do we come to worship? What does God expect from us? and What difference should worship play in how we live our lives during the week?
This Sunday in Feb 9 Worship
We have designated this Sunday as Red Sunday at Grace and you are encouraged to wear red to worship. I don’t believe that God roots for any specific team, even the Kansas City Chiefs, but God does not mind when we show support for our favorite teams. I love how teams can bring a community together and am grateful to be part of the Kansas City community with you. It is a great time to be a Chief’s fan.
