<description>What does it mean to be made in the image of God?

In this opening message of our Summer Reading series, guest preacher Pat Batten teaches from Genesis 1:26–28 and explores one of the most foundational truths in Scripture: every human being is created as the image of God.

Through Scripture, personal story, and reflection, Pat reminds us that our worth is not based on our work, achievements, relationships, abilities, or circumstances. Our value comes from who we are: God’s image-bearers, created by Him, known by Him, and deeply valuable to Him.

Whether life has gone according to plan or taken an unexpected turn, knowing who we are helps us wherever we are.</description>

<description>What do you do when you find yourself standing at the edge of uncertainty, unsure how to move forward?

In this Annual Celebration 2026 message, Pastor Tim Ghali teaches from 2 Kings 2:1–15, where Elijah and Elisha stand at the Jordan River and witness the power of God at work. Through this powerful story of transition, calling, and spiritual empowerment, we are reminded that the same God who parted waters for Moses, Joshua, Elijah, and Elisha is still on the move today.

Pastor Tim reflects on a significant year in the life of Grace Chapel — a year marked by transition, challenge, faith, generosity, and God’s provision. Through it all, we are invited to trust that God sees us at the riverbank, empowers us for what is ahead, and calls us to join His ongoing work in the world.

This message also includes the story of Colin, a reminder that God is still changing lives in unexpected ways through ordinary people who are centered on Jesus.</description>

<description>What does Pentecost teach us about being the church today?

In this message, Pastor Dom Bronico explores the connection between the Tower of Babel and Pentecost, showing how the arrival of the Holy Spirit sends the church beyond the walls of a building and out into the world.

Through Acts 2 and Genesis 11, we see that God’s vision for the church is not sameness, comfort, or simply gathering in one place. Instead, the Spirit empowers God’s people to go into neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, hospitals, coffee shops, and communities as living witnesses of Jesus.

Pastor Dom reminds us that the church is not just a place we attend on Sundays. The church is a people sent by God, filled with the Holy Spirit, and called to embody the diverse, growing, multi-faceted Kingdom of Heaven.

Key Scripture: Acts 2, Genesis 11
Speaker: Pastor Dom Bronico
Topic: Pentecost, Holy Spirit, Church Mission, Evangelism, Babel, Great Commission

In this message:

What Pentecost means for the church today
How Pentecost reverses the story of Babel
Why the Holy Spirit sends us out into the world
How Christians can live as “miniature temples” wherever they go
What it means to serve, share Jesus, and be present in our communities

The arrival of the Holy Spirit means the church is called to go—not just into a building on Sundays, but out into the world with the love and presence of Jesus.
