Grace Life Church of Naples

Recorded: May 3rd, 2026Dr. Paul BazalgetteIn this sermon, we are looking at why the believer’s soul and salvation are perfectly safe because he or she is in God’s hands. God’s Word says so much about how His hands guarantee our eternal security, but we have narrowed it down to 42 Scriptures.

Recorded: April 26th, 2026Dr. Paul BazalgetteThe first commandment tells us that the most important thing to God is that we serve Him out of a passionate love for Him. This may seem like an impossible goal to reach, but in Romans 12:11, Paul tells us how to get there. This is what we are examining today.

Recorded: April 19th, 2026Dr. Paul BazalgetteIn this sermon, we are going to look at the principles contained in the account of a man named Caleb, who had to fight for something God had given him 45 years earlier. Sometimes we do not receive what God wants for us because, as James says, “We do not have it because we never asked for it.” Other times, the reason we never receive what God has for us is because, like Caleb, a mountainous task lies before us—one that is filled with opposition and difficulty—and we do not want to make the effort. This second reason is what we will be looking at today.

Recorded: April 12th, 2026Dr. Paul BazalgetteIn this sermon, through the story of the Canaanite woman, we are shown the anatomy of a faith that will not be discouraged until it obtains from God what it came to Him for.

Recorded: April 5th, 2026Dr. Paul BazalgetteIn this sermon, we look at John chapter 14, where Jesus is speaking to His heartbroken disciples on the night before His crucifixion. His divine counsel of comfort consists of telling them to ‘remember the resurrection.’ Jesus shows them how grasping the truth of the resurrection by faith brings a comfort that is sufficient for any sorrow.

Recorded: March 29th, 2026Dr. Paul BazalgetteIn this sermon, we examine the profound claims Jesus was making when He entered Jerusalem on a donkey, and we compare what He did that day to how He enters the heart of an individual.

Recorded: March 22nd, 2026Dr. Paul BazalgetteIn this sermon, we examine the many Scriptures that describe actions and attitudes that can hinder your prayers from being answered. Eliminate these, and your prayers will be far more effective.

Recorded: March 15th, 2026Dr. Paul BazalgetteIn this sermon, we take note of the fact that the Bible teaches that God always has a purpose in our pain. We examine His divine plan for addressing our pain and how to progress from pain to praise.

Recorded: March 8th, 2026Dr. Paul BazalgetteIn this sermon, we are examining why so many Christians lack the strength to resist certain temptations, share their faith, and have peace in the midst of their trials. This strength comes from one place alone, and God clearly tells us how to obtain it.

Recorded: March 1st, 2026Dr. Paul BazalgetteMost believers understand witnessing to include sharing the gospel or their testimony, but the Bible mentions numerous other ways that are vital to how Jesus Christ is perceived in the world.

Recorded: February 22nd, 2026Dr. Paul BazalgetteMany Christians would like to have more zeal, faith, and holiness, but these often seem unattainable. Today, we are looking at the life of Samson to examine the actions and attitudes that drained his strength—and will drain ours as well.

Recorded: February 15th, 2026Dr. Paul BazalgetteIn this sermon, we examine Jesus’ final command to believers before He heads to the cross. It is God’s grand call to faithfulness.

Recorded: February 8th, 2026Dr. Paul BazalgetteIn this sermon, we are looking at the statement that Jesus makes in Mark chapter 12 when He turns to a scribe and says, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” What does that mean? We are examining the evidence that a person is being drawn near to Christ by the Holy Spirit.

Recorded: February 1st, 2026Dr. Paul BazalgetteGenesis tells us that the Old Testament character Lot hesitated to respond to God. Had it not been for God’s grace—grace that dragged him and his family out of the city of Sodom—he and his entire family would have perished under God’s judgment. In this message, we examine Lot’s spiritual condition, which helps explain why so many believers today are sinfully slow to respond to God.

Recorded: January 25th, 2026Dr. Paul BazalgetteMany people are asking the question, “If there’s a God, where is He? Why doesn’t He reveal Himself?” Many believers also wonder why God feels so distant at times. Today, we are looking at the Bible’s clear response to this frequent inquiry.

Recorded: January 18th, 2026Dr. Paul BazalgetteBelievers often shrink from the topic of witnessing, largely due to a misunderstanding of what is being asked of them. Today, we examine this issue in order to alleviate fear and to introduce believers to this joyful activity—one that has the potential to bear fruit for eternity.

Recorded: January 11th, 2026Dr. Paul BazalgetteToday, we examine the vast majority of Jesus’ admonitions, which are aimed at religious people who believe they are on their way to heaven but who are, in fact, horribly deceived. We also look at the only remedy for these churchgoers whose appearance of godliness is a total sham.

Recorded: January 4th, 2026Dr. Paul BazalgetteJames 3:2 says that if anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man. Today, we examine what God says about the proper use of our tongues, so that in the future we may better aim for spiritual maturity.

Recorded: December 28th, 2025Dr. Paul BazalgetteIn today’s podcast, we examine the second commandment: to love people. We observe how this commandment naturally flows out of obedience to the first commandment—to love God. Consequently, loving others is the evidence that one is truly obeying the first commandment. We also explore what God means when He calls us to demonstrate His love to others.

Recorded: December 24th, 2025Dr. Paul BazalgetteToday we are looking at Matthew 12:18–21, which gives us a wonderful description of Jesus. As numerous texts tell us to be imitators of Christ, we will briefly examine these characteristics and demonstrate how these attributes can—and should—be adopted into each believer’s life.

Recorded: December 21st, 2025Dr. Paul BazalgetteIn the decade before followers of Christ were called “Christians,” they were known as “the Way.” Today, we look at what the Bible says to show that Christianity is not a club to join, but rather a “way”—a new way of life.

Recorded: December 14th, 2025Dr. Paul BazalgetteToday we are responding to individuals who are creeping into the visible church claiming to follow Jesus while rejecting the teachings of the Apostle Paul. By examining the internal evidence of Scripture, we will appeal to forty-one different passages to demonstrate that the Apostle Paul’s preaching and teaching are, indeed, the inspired Word of God.

Recorded: December 7th, 2025Dr. Paul BazalgetteToday we are examining two things related to temptation. First, we will consider whether the temptation of Jesus was a real temptation—could He have sinned? Second, we will examine the two major instructions Jesus gives on how to keep the door shut to temptation.

Recorded: November 30th, 2025Dr. Paul BazalgetteToday we are looking at a text that lays bare the anatomy of temptation, explaining exactly how Jesus Christ, in His humanity, was able to overcome temptation—and how we can as well.

Recorded: November 23rd, 2025Dr. Paul BazalgetteToday we are looking at the biblically prescribed characteristics that naturally produce thankfulness in a believer—thankfulness that both blesses the believer’s life and glorifies God.

Recorded: November 16th, 2025Dr. Paul BazalgetteIn this sermon, we examine the critical areas of weakness displayed by Peter that foreshadowed his eventual denial of Jesus. We also look at the amazing grace of Christ that not only restored him but is also available to us.

Recorded: November 9th, 2025Dr. Paul BazalgetteIn this sermon, we explore the necessity for believers to exercise divine patience in order to do the will of God. We also consider how we are to cooperate with the Holy Spirit in developing this level of patience, and how God is at work both in us and through us as we practice it.

Recorded: November 2nd, 2025Dr. Paul BazalgetteSome time ago, we looked at the arguments for a pre-tribulation Rapture. You can find that sermon on our website (gracelifechurchofnaples.org) or on our YouTube channel under the title “The Pre-Tribulation Rapture of the Church.” Today, we are looking at the other side of the argument. While presenting the post-tribulation view, we will also examine the pre-tribulation counterargument. May God bless you as you study His Word.

Recorded: October 26th, 2025Dr. Paul BazalgetteLast week, our message was titled ‘Where Christ Rules, Peace Reigns.’ Today, we are continuing with the topic of how to experience God’s peace, regardless of the crisis you are in.

Recorded: October 19th, 2025Dr. Paul BazalgetteIn this sermon, we are examining the simple, personal adjustments we must make in order to enjoy the marvelous gift of God’s supernatural peace—a peace that flourishes regardless of the circumstances we find ourselves in.

Recorded: October 12th, 2025Dr. Paul BazalgetteToday, we are looking at why God’s love for us is very different from our love for other people, and why believers should demonstrate God’s love toward others so that He may be glorified.

Recorded: October 5th, 2025Dr. Paul BazalgetteIn Psalm 16, David reveals that he is in the midst of a crisis, yet he openly proclaims that he is not only content with what God is doing in his life, but even rejoicing in the security he finds in the midst of it all. He then describes the characteristics of a life that honors God by remaining visibly sustained in circumstances where others might find themselves sinking.

Recorded: September 28th, 2025Dr. Paul BazalgetteToday, as our title suggests, we are looking at how to become a person who glorifies God by exhibiting the divine attribute of returning good for evil and showing grace in the face of hostility.

Recorded: September 21st, 2025Dr. Paul BazalgetteToday we are looking at the apostle Paul’s struggle with sin. We show that this very struggle, shared by all believers, is the best evidence of a genuine conversion. We also consider how Paul teaches us to look beyond our many failures to the amazing grace and forgiveness of God, and to daily experience His grace and peace.

Recorded: September 14th, 2025Dr. Paul BazalgetteIn the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s murder, believers should be emboldened to rise up and take a stand for Christ, just as he did. This week, we will examine why false Christians fail to take a stand for Christ, while genuine converts do. True believers stand because they are both created and commanded to do so.

Recorded: September 7th, 2025Dr. Paul BazalgetteThe church at Corinth was one of the most dysfunctional churches imaginable. In First and Second Corinthians, Paul addresses their many problems, and after 29 chapters of counseling them with God’s Word, he concludes in the final verse of the second letter. In this one closing statement, he tells them—and us—everything we will ever need.

Recorded: August 31st, 2025Dr. Paul BazalgetteToday we look into the life of Abraham and see that, in his pursuit of God’s call, he experienced both moments of great personal failure and moments of great faith and courage. From his life, we learn how he continued to pursue God’s will and how to respond when life seems hopeless.

Recorded: August 27th, 2025Dr. Paul BazalgetteToday we are looking at a man named Zacchaeus, who appeared to have it all, yet was a lonely, rejected, and deeply hated human being. We will discover how his life was completely changed, all because one evening he welcomed God as his guest.

Recorded: August 17th, 2025Dr. Paul BazalgetteMany believers who sincerely desire to be more like Christ find it as difficult an endeavor as trying to reach the stars while running on a treadwheel. Most Christians hope to see transformation by laboring harder to obey God’s rules; however, true transformation occurs not through trying harder but through living closer. As we keep our eyes and minds on Jesus, we walk more closely with Him and naturally begin to imitate Him. It is simply through walking with Christ that God transforms us, making us daily more like Him.

Recorded: August 10th, 2025Dr. Paul BazalgetteIn this sermon, we will look at why so many pulpits are abandoning the Gospel and turning to another message. We will also examine the reasons the apostle Paul said that both he and we should never be ashamed of the true Gospel, no matter how offensive it may be to those who reject it.

Recorded: August 3rd, 2025Dr. Paul BazalgetteIn this sermon we’re looking at 1 Timothy 1:18–19, which warns that failing to hold onto a good conscience can ‘shipwreck our faith.’ This doesn’t mean losing salvation, but ignoring our conscience can lead to a life marked by destruction and regret. So what exactly is a conscience? How does it work? And what does God’s Word have to say about it?

Recorded: July 27th, 2025Dr. Paul BazalgetteBased on alarming clinical studies revealing that worry is a growing epidemic in America, we will examine what Jesus tells us to do when anxiety takes hold of us. This is God’s answer to worry.

Recorded: July 20th, 2025Dr. Paul BazalgetteIn this sermon we’re exploring the importance of God’s people recognizing that they are a blessed people. We’ll discuss why God desires to remind believers daily of their blessedness, and the consequences that arise when we fail to see ourselves this way—and, as a result, neglect to express daily gratitude to God for it.

Recorded: July 13th, 2025Dr. Paul BazalgetteIn this message, we demonstrate how creation itself was deliberately designed to communicate eternal spiritual truths. Consequently, when Jesus said that He was ‘the Bright and Morning Star,’ He was directing our attention to a celestial object—namely, Venus—and revealing that the planet was created to symbolically represent Himself. Today, we explore what it is about the planet Venus that so perfectly portrays the attributes of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Recorded: July 6th, 2025Dr. Paul BazalgetteThis sermon is a call from God to rise to a higher level of trust in Him—one that enables us to live above the storms of life, above the temptations and tribulations of everyday living. Such a life is the only life that truly glorifies God.

Recorded: June 29th, 2025Dr. Paul BazalgetteMany people assert that Jesus never claimed to be God. This message proves that position to be entirely false, showing how both Jesus and God the Father declared His divinity. We examine how His followers were convinced of His divine nature, and how even His opponents recognized that He repeatedly claimed to be God. We also explore numerous verses from Scripture that clearly affirm the divinity of Jesus.

Recorded: June 22nd, 2025Dr. Paul BazalgetteThis message examines a time when God’s people desperately needed Him to intervene, or they would certainly perish. The prophet seeks God’s counsel, and what God tells them to do is a word for us today—if we also hope to see greater involvement of God in our lives.

Recorded: June 15th, 2025Dr. Paul BazalgetteWhen we hear the name Job, we usually think of his suffering and patience. But a closer look at his life reveals why he was able to endure and continue standing for God. This sermon is for any young man seeking to become the man God intends him to be—and it offers a profile of the kind of man every young, believing woman should be praying for.

Recorded: June 8th, 2025Dr. Paul BazalgetteThe church of Corinth was the worst possible group of born-again Christians. For example, they tolerated gross immorality, and when they weren’t getting divorced, they were suing each other and getting drunk at the Lord’s Supper! Their opinion of the great apostle Paul was that, in person, he was unimpressive and that his preaching amounted to nothing. Paul concludes his loving but truthful letter to the church by telling them what they need to aspire to in order to become the most blessed and best of all churches.

Recorded: June 1st, 2025Dr. Paul BazalgetteWith the rise in false teaching, the identity and purpose of the ‘church’ are being redefined everywhere. Today, we are looking to see what God’s Word says a church is.
