Grace Community Church, Arlington, Va

What if radical generosity could change our city? That’s the heartbeat of Do Good: our annual movement to GIVE, SERVE, and LOVE. For three weeks, we’ll come together as a church to unleash generosity in practical ways: giving every dollar to local nonprofits, volunteering to meet real needs, and learning how radical love transforms our neighbors and us. This is more than a campaign; it’s a chance to be part of something bigger than ourselves. Join us as we #DoGood, together. —— Instagram: @trygracecc https://www.instagram.com/trygracecc Facebook: @trygracecc https://www.facebook.com/trygracecc Message: Do Good - Give | Derek Adye | Grace Community Church | Arlington, VA #GraceCommunityChurch #TryGraceCC #2025Sermons #SundaySermon #Sermon #ChurchService #SundayService #SundayChurch #OnlineChurch #ChurchOnline #Arlington #TryGrace #aChurchForPeopleWhoDontGoToChurch #LiveService #Worship

When cycles of fear and injustice finally break, what follows isn’t silence—it’s a song. Judges 5 bursts with celebration as Deborah sings of freedom and new beginnings. In baptism we do the same: we declare that our old identity is gone, and our new one—rooted in God’s compassion, grace, and patience—has begun. This Sunday, celebrate the sound of freedom as stories are sung, waters are stirred, and lives are made new.

When the story you're living in feels stuck, broken, or chaotic—what if you're telling the wrong story? In Judges 4, God interrupts Israel’s cycle of oppression with a powerful narrative shift led by unexpected heroes. We’ll explore how Deborah, Barak, and Jael reframe their reality—and how your story can be reframed too. Join us as we rediscover the God who goes ahead of us, breaks destructive cycles, and opens the way out.

You can’t suppress your desires — you have to replace them. In this message, we discover how Deborah’s stillness under the tree shows us the path to lasting strength: aligning with God’s heart. Because the more aligned you are with God, the more alive you become.

We all have cycles—patterns we repeat, even when we know they’re destructive. In Judges 3, Israel breaks free from oppression, but without real change, the cycle just starts again. This week, we’ll explore how settling for a break from negative circumstances can keep us trapped in the same old struggles. Discover how God wants to interrupt the cycle and bring lasting transformation.

When God revealed Himself to Moses, He gave a name the world had never heard before: the Lord—Yahweh—the God of compassion. Yet when we read Judges and Joshua, God can appear angry, violent, or unjust. How do we reconcile this tension? This week we’ll explore how the Bible, read in its ancient context, reveals a God whose compassion—not cruelty—defines His identity and ours.

When you forget who you are, you repeat what you hate — just ask Jonah, or even Simba in The Lion King. This week, we’ll see how God’s compassion, grace, and patience give us a new identity that breaks the cycle. Communion isn’t just a ritual — it’s your re-anchor in the real you.

In a city full of rules, regulations, and deadlines, it’s easy to think God just wants more of the same. But Judges 2 invites us into something radically different—inner transformation through intentional reflection. This isn’t about obedience; it’s about learning to hear God in a way that actually transforms you.

What keeps us from stepping into the life God has already set before us? In Numbers 13, Israel stood on the edge of promise, but their reluctance and distorted vision held them back. We face the same choice today—cling to the familiarity of the past or trust God with a new future. Join us this Sunday as we explore how to break patterns of hesitation and step into the freedom and fullness Jesus offers.

We’re all busy. But in a world that glorifies hustle, Jesus reminds us that only one thing truly matters. Discover what it means to pause, be present, and build a real relationship with Him.

We’re told that chasing more will finally make us feel full. But what if it’s actually what’s draining us? This Sunday, we’ll explore a story Jesus told about a man who had everything—yet died empty. And we’ll contrast it with the life of one of history’s wealthiest figures, who discovered something far better by taking a very different path. Don’t miss this timely message about success, satisfaction, and what truly fills us.

Life is full of interruptions that annoy us, but some of them can quite literally save our lives. This Sunday, we’re looking at a powerful moment in the journey of Jesus, when a woman caught in her worst mistake was dragged into the spotlight, only to find unexpected mercy. Join us as we unpack how Jesus interrupts us with His grace and what happens when divine love steps into the mess of our lives.

We have more tech than Tony Stark, more answers than Google, and more followers than Jesus had in His lifetime…So why are we still so lost, lonely, and anxious? This Sunday, we’re talking about what Siri can’t fix—and what only a person can do.

Nobody saw it coming—but when Jesus showed up, everything changed. This summer, discover the power of divine interruptions—and see what happens when God shows up in your story, too.

From swinging through New York to walking on water, both Miles Morales and the Apostle Peter faced the same challenge: will I step out in faith or stay where it’s safe? Join us this Sunday as we explore one of the most important lessons Jesus teaches us about faith.

Robert Pattinson brings a new edge to Batman—darker, more complex, and more human. This Sunday, we follow his version of the Dark Knight into a deeper question: What do you do when life hits back?
