What are you thinking about? What is actually occupying your mind this week? Philippians 4:8-9 gives us one of the most practical passages in all of Scripture. He tells us what to do with our minds, and then what to do with our lives. Two words frame the whole passage: ponder and practice. And wrapped around both is a promise: the God of peace will be with you.
In this sermon from Grace Hill Church, we work through each of the six categories Paul gives us — whatever is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, and commendable — and discover that every single one of them finds its ultimate fulfillment in one Person: Jesus Christ. The mind filled with Christ becomes a life that follows Christ.
What fills your mind forms your life.

In 1 John 4:1–3, we’re reminded that not every message we hear comes from God. We are called to test the spirits—measuring every teaching against the truth of Jesus Christ. The true Spirit leads us to confess Jesus as fully God and fully man, while false voices distort or deny Him. This passage challenges us to stay rooted in truth, discerning what is from God and what is not in a world full of competing voices.
This sermon we will explore how we are called to stay joyful, stay gentle, and stay unanxious no matter the trial or circumstance.
How can a sinner be made right with God?
That's the question every person eventually has to face. Romans 4:24–25, gives us the whole answer in a single sentence.
In this Easter Sunday sermon, we walk through three headings.
The Payment — Jesus wasn't a victim. He was a substitute. Delivered up according to God's definite plan, for our trespasses.
The Proof — The resurrection is God's public declaration that the payment of the cross was accepted. The empty tomb is the receipt that says: Paid in Full.
The Promise — The righteousness of Jesus Christ is credited to those who believe.
If you've ever wondered whether you could ever truly be right with God — this message is for you.
What makes Good Friday good? Everything depends on what happened on that cross — and who it happened for.
In this Good Friday message, we answer three questions. Three answers that will change the way you see the cross.
WHO died? Not just a good man. The eternal Son of God — fully God, fully man — who lived the perfect life we could never live and walked straight toward the cross on purpose.
WHAT did he do? He absorbed the wrath of God. He stood in the place of sinners, took the penalty that was ours, and paid it in full. Penal substitutionary atonement is not just a theological term — it is the best news you will ever hear.
FOR WHOM? For the ungodly. Not the righteous. Not the people who had it together. The weak. The broken. The hell-bound. If you are a sinner, you qualify to be saved.
No one is too far gone to be reached by the saving arms of God.
