You are welcome! 9:30am Sunday mornings 200 Washington St. Inside First Christian.
Grace and Mercy started as a Bible study in a home. The group grew and more room was needed so the decision
was made to get a commercial location. This would enable us to have more contact with people and allow
us to have activities that we could not in the house setting.
Grace and Mercy is led by Larry and Ginger Foster with help from their friends. We all were once helpless
with no way to reach God. Because of God's grace and mercy, He provided Jesus to pay the penalty
we could not pay so that we might have a relationship with God and be able to have eternal life in heaven
after we die. It is because of God's grace - not our good deeds - that we can be forgiven of the things
we have done wrong.

In Heaven, Hallowed be Your Name
Part 3 in a series on prayer. We continue to take an in depth look
at the Model prayer - focusing this time on the phrase, "In Heaven, Hallowed be Your Name"
Our Father
We continue our study of prayer this week as we begin a detailed look at
the Model Prayer - better known as the Lord's prayer. In this message we
focus on the opening words, "Our Father".
How Not to Pray
We start a series on prayer with Jesus's teaching from Mathew 6 on how not to pray.
You didn't know there was a right or wrong, did you?
The Magi (wise men)
The magi (wise men) from the east have always fascinated me in the Christmas Story.
Where are these guys from? How did they find out about the birth of Jesus?
Those who saw it and those who missed it. (4th Sunday of Advent)
He is here! The Savior is born. We have angels and shepherds and prophets.
But most of the people around missed the announcement. Why and what we
can learn from this.
A Lesson in Obedience: Mary and Joseph (3rd Sunday of Advent)
It is almost time for the birth of the Savior. But before He comes, He needs
a family. Parents to care for Him, protect Him and raise Him. It will not be an
easy job.
Prepare the Way: John the Baptist (2nd Sunday of Advent)
After 400 years of prophetic silence, John the Baptist breaks on the scene with his bold message and unique
diet and attire. What dos this voice of "one crying in the wilderness" have to say to us today?
What the Old Testament says about Jesus (1st Sunday of Advent)
Depending on who you ask, there are anywhere from 300-600 prophecies of the Savior in the Old Testament. In this message
we talke about some of those prophecies and look at the odds of one person fulfilling them.
Giving Thanks
In my Thanksgiving themed message I talk about why we should be thankful in all things. Really? Yes!
Jonah, Part 2
In our second message in the book of Jonah, we learn that God loves all people everywhere.
Jonah, Part 1
Jonah is one of the best known prophets in the Old Testament - for the wrong reasons.
God called him to do a job, and chose to go the opposite direction. What can
we learn from Jonah?
Dealing with disappointment
Disappointment is a fact of life. You expect something and it doesn't happen that way.
You buy a new breakfast cereal and it just isn't very good.
But what do you do when you are disappointed with God?
