Twin Cities Grace Fellowship Sermons

What does God say about who we are apart from Christ? In this sermon from Titus 1:15–16, we begin examining our identity in Adam, starting with the sobering reality of “abomination in Adam.” Scripture’s verdict is not that mankind is merely flawed or in need of minor improvement, but that apart from Christ we are dead to God, alive to sin, and enemies of God—defiled in mind and conscience, servants of sin, and unable to produce anything truly clean before Him.Yet this grim diagnosis magnifies the glory of the gospel. Our condition in Adam is so total that only the whole salvation found in Jesus Christ can remedy it: justification, sanctification, and glorification. Like the leper whom Christ touched and cleansed, sinners cannot make themselves clean, but Christ comes to save, forgive, and give righteousness to all who believe in Him.

What actually happens when this life is over?We're stepping into "Heaven: Seven Vantage Points on the Life to Come" — a look at what Scripture actually promises us, not vague hope, but a certainty already guaranteed to us right now. We'll trace the story from the assurance we carry today, through the removal of the curse, the resurrection of the body, and the renewal of all creation, all the way to its final end: unhindered, face-to-face presence with God Himself.Join us live as we ask what all of this is actually for — not just what we've been saved from, but what we've been saved to.

Who are you—really? Not according to your feelings, your failures, or what the culture around you offers as "identity," but according to what God says. In this opening lesson of a new 10-week series on Union in Christ, Pastor Josh Strelecki lays the foundation for one of the most vital yet neglected truths in Scripture: every person is either in Adam or in Christ. There is no spectrum, no in-between—only a fixed, definite position established by God Himself. This lesson distinguishes that settled identity from the ongoing, progressive work of spiritual growth, showing why so many believers live with a wavering, borrowed sense of who they are before God.Walking through Galatians 3, Romans 5–8, Ephesians 1–2, and more, this teaching unpacks what it means to be a child of God, sealed, justified, and secure in Christ—not because of performance, but because of what God has already done. You'll see how this doctrine strengthens eternal security, anchors believers in suffering, guards against both legalism and license, and provides the true foundation for good works. Whether you're wrestling with guilt over repeated sin or searching for a stable sense of self, this lesson points to the unchanging truth: your identity in Christ is fixed, finished, and cannot be taken away.

Upcoming Message: "The Word and Its Sufficiency"Pastor Joshua Strelecki | 2 Timothy 3:14–17; Psalm 119:9–11There's never been a shortage of voices telling you the Bible isn't enough — that it needs philosophy, psychology, the latest therapy, or some new revelation added to it just to keep up. Scripture calls that out plainly, and in this session Pastor Josh takes us straight to Paul's final words to Timothy to answer it head-on.Join us as we trace one claim through four movements:What sufficiency actually means — starting from 2 Corinthians 9:8The Word that saves — wisdom unto salvation through faith in Christ, set against a landscape of error and driftThe Word that sanctifies — how Scripture cleanses, conceals, and shapes us through doctrine, reproof, correction, and instructionThe Word that supplies — equipped and sent out into every relationship God has placed us in: marriage, family, work, church, and neighborThe thesis is simple but weighty: because God's Word is wholly sufficient, nothing more is needed — and nothing less will do.Don't miss it — tune in live!

What does it truly mean to partake of the Lord’s Table? In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 11, we examine the Lord’s Supper, Communion, and the Lord’s Table beyond mere ceremony or tradition, considering how Scripture presents these realities in connection with Christ’s broken body, shed blood, and the fellowship of His people.Rather than reducing the bread and cup to a ritual, this message emphasizes the heart of the matter: remembering the Lord by reflecting His sacrificial love toward one another. As Christ served, humbled Himself, forgave, and gave His life, so the church is called to gather not for selfishness or division, but in fellowship, charity, forgiveness, and worthy remembrance of Him.
