Grace Central Presbyterian Church

Podcast is being revived!

Rae — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 02:25:19 +0000

Hey folks. Good news. After many failed attempts and almost giving up, we think we’ve finally figured out a recording solution. The podcast will be resuming within a matter of weeks (maybe days).

BUT . . . not at this address.

Grace Central’s new website has launched at http://www.gracecentral.org/, and the podcast will be hosted there from now on. Be sure to update your links.

If you’re subscribed via iTunes or other podcatchers, you should still receive new episodes as they become available, as the podcast’s feed address is still http://feeds.feedburner.com/GraceCentral.

If anyone’s still out there, thanks for sticking with us.

Update on the Podcast

Grace Central — Thu, 04 May 2006 22:27:26 +0000

Hey folks, Rae Whitlock (podcast guy) here. You’ve probably noticed that there haven’t been any new sermons posted in the past few weeks. On most of the recent recordings, the audio has been unusually quiet, so I’ve elected not to post them until I can figure out some way to boost the volume. When that issue is corrected, the whole backlog of sermons will be posted, so you won’t have missed anything.

Sorry about the inconvenience.

Predestination Q&A – Romans 8:28-30
Greg Blosser

Wrapping up the last couple of messages on the issues of predestination and foreknowledge, we unpack Romans 8 and 9 a little further and answer related questions from the congregation raised in the last few weeks.

What’s Important to God? What’s Important to Grace Central? – Acts 14

What’s Important to God? What’s Important to Grace Central? – Acts 14
Greg Blosser

Here we make a brief departure from our series in Romans to get back to a couple of basic questions: as a church, who are we and why are we here? Why does this city need yet another church? We look at Acts 14 and see that the local church is the hope of the world (and by necessity, of the city).

But What About “Free Will”? – Romans 9:1-5

But What About “Free Will”? – Romans 9:1-5
Greg Blosser

The question of predestination inevitably brings up the question “but what about ‘free will’”. The answer is this: “yes, God does have free will.”

We examine Romans 9 this week and see that God does not abuse his free will, but that he is sovereign, merciful, and free in exercising his will upon all of creation.

There Is No “Plan B” – Romans 8:28-30

There Is No “Plan B” – Romans 8:28-30
Greg Blosser – March 5, 2006

“Predestination.”

The word by itself is enough to evoke strongly negative and positive reactions from an equal number of people. But what is predestination? What does the Bible have to say about it, and what does it mean for the Christian and the Church? Can the idea of predestination actually be of comfort?

This week, we take a look at Romans 8:28-30, where Paul delivers the comforting news to the Roman church that they are among God’s chosen and secure people in Christ.

Adopted Children Can Face Life Fearlessly – Romans 8:14-18

Grace Central — Thu, 23 Feb 2006 04:47:46 +0000

Adopted Children Can Face Life Fearlessly – Romans 8:14-18
Greg Blosser – February 19, 2006

In Romans 8:14-18, Paul encourages the Roman church with the news that they have been adopted as true children of God. As God’s people today, we can take this same encouragement, knowing that our loving Father protects us through suffering, provides for us through our failings, and accepts us though others may reject us. We can face life without fear.

Tech Difficulties (again)

Grace Central — Mon, 13 Feb 2006 14:53:48 +0000

The last couple of weeks unfortunately were not recorded correctly. Something’s gone weird with the recording equipment. We’re having one of our resident experts look at it this week and hopefully the podcast will resume next Sunday. Sorry for the inconvenience, folks.

Romans 8:1-4, Part 2 – January 29, 2006

Grace Central — Wed, 01 Feb 2006 04:43:46 +0000

Romans 8:1-4, Part 2 – January 29, 2006
Greg Blosser

Christian, take comfort! Freedom is alive in you! Last week, we looked at Romans 8:1-4 and examined the objective realities — things that are true outside of us — of the freedom Christ gives us. This week, we deal with the same passage, this time taking a look at how these realities affect us — subjectively.

Listen now. (51m 46s – 11.8mb MP3 — You may have to crank the volume on this one.)

Romans 8:1-4 – January 22, 2006

Grace Central — Mon, 23 Jan 2006 03:03:08 +0000

Romans 8:1-4
Greg Blosser

Romans 8 is one of the most comfort-filled portions of the New Testament. This week, we examine the first four verses, along with related passages from the Old Testament, to see the objective realities of justification. Here, the Apostle Paul ensures us that those who are in Christ face no condemnation from the Law, and shows us that God is the initiator of relationship between Himself and humankind.
