Sermons in this series

47 Messages

During the month of July, our regular Sunday morning Fellowship Groups go on hiatus. Designed to be a time of refreshment and fellowship with our Grace Church family as a whole, these five weeks give our congregation the opportunity to enjoy a wide variety of teaching from our pastors and elders, professors at The Master’s University, and guest lecturers for the Doctor of Ministry Program at The Master’s Seminary.

About

Ministry

Sundays in July

"The church is marked by its unity, shared life, commonality, and community—in a word: fellowship. Fellowship is critical to the life of the church. Christianity is not a spectator event that happens on Sunday but a common, shared life with other believers."
— John MacArthur
 

Our 2026 Sundays in July seminars have concluded. We are grateful for everyone who joined us for these special times of fellowship and equipping.

We pray the seminars encouraged you and strengthened your relationships within the church.

Audio recordings from most of the seminars are available below. We look forward to gathering again next summer.
