How do I know when God is speaking to me? This week, we’ll look at what Jesus says about how the Spirit guides, reminds, and helps us hear God in everyday life.

Ever finish praying and walk out of the room more irritated than when you went in? For a lot of people, faith slowly turns into a to-do list, something we keep up out of duty while feeling emptier inside. This week we'll explore what it looks like to move from religious duty to real connection, and why it might be the key to the rest and joy you've been missing.

What if the deepest part of friendship with Jesus is not asking Him to come into our world, but realizing He is inviting us into His? This week, we’ll look at one of Jesus’ most surprising statements: “I have called you friends,” and what that might mean for how we receive love, know His heart, and live differently.

We all have things we turn to without even thinking about it. Our phones, our worries, our routines. But what if the ordinary moments of your day could help you experience a deeper, more meaningful relationship with God? Join us this Sunday as we explore Jesus’ invitation in John 15 to remain in Him and discover how something as simple as an everyday moment can help us return to His presence, His words, and His joy. —— Instagram: @trygracecc https://www.instagram.com/trygracecc Facebook: @trygracecc https://www.facebook.com/trygracecc Message: Where Do You Turn? | John Slye, Jr. | Grace Community Church | Arlington, VA #GraceCommunityChurch #TryGraceCC #2026Sermons #SundaySermon #Sermon #ChurchService #SundayService #SundayChurch #OnlineChurch #ChurchOnline #Arlington #TryGrace #aChurchForPeopleWhoDontGoToChurch #LiveService #Worship

How can we have a deep, meaningful relationship with Jesus when we can't see Him? This Sunday, we'll continue through John 14 and discover Jesus' surprising answer: "We will come to them and make our home with them." What if following Jesus isn't about becoming someone you're not, but discovering who you were created to become? Join us Sunday as we learn what it means to live everyday life with Jesus.

Faith isn't just for Sundays. Join us for an eight-week journey through John 14–16 as we discover what it means to live with Jesus in the everyday moments of life. Together we'll learn how a growing relationship with Him can bring greater peace, purpose, wisdom, and hope to where life actually happens.

Ever plant something — an idea, a relationship, an effort — and have no idea if it's actually working? This week, we close out "Stories Jesus Told" with the Parable of the Growing Seed, exploring what it means to trust a God who's at work even when we can't see it. Join us Sunday as we ask what it really means to let go of the outcome when building the Kingdom.

Ever feel like your prayers hit a wall? This week, we dive into Jesus' parable of the Persistent Widow, exploring why prayer is hard and why God's timing rarely feels perfect. Join us on Sunday as we look at what it really means not to give up.

We live in a world that tells us to work harder, prove ourselves, and secure our place. This week, we look at one of Jesus' shortest, strangest parables to find a kingdom that doesn't grow through striving, but through resting. It's not a better technique for working smarter — it's an invitation to stop striving altogether and abide in something God is already growing.

With everything going on right now, do you ever struggle to stay grateful? This Sunday, we're diving into a story Jesus told about a landowner, a group of workers, and a controversial payday that had everybody up in arms. Come hear why gratitude is so hard to hold onto and what Jesus has to say about it.

Some things you hear. Fewer things you actually take to heart. This week we're looking at why certain messages, even good ones, seem to slide right past us, and what it takes for something to finally get past the surface and take root. Discover how Jesus uses parables to spark curiosity and move us from reacting to responding.

Most of us believe we're good people. But if we're honest, we also know there's a gap between who we are and who we long to be. Join us this Sunday as we explore one of Jesus' most powerful parables and discover why becoming the person we were created to be takes more than simply trying harder.

Why knowing the right answers isn't the same as finding real life. A religious expert knew all the right answers, but he still could not find the life he was searching for. Instead of giving him another answer, Jesus told him a story. Join us as we discover why that story still has the power to change our lives today.

Why didn't Jesus simply tell people the truth? Instead of lectures, He told stories. Instead of arguments, He painted pictures. Instead of forcing answers, He invited discovery. We'll explore why Jesus taught this way, what modern science is discovering about how people actually change, and why the greatest transformation in life begins not by winning an argument, but by capturing the heart.

Following God was never meant to be a solo journey. Discover why community isn't just a nice add-on to the life of a Jesus follower — and what it might be costing you to go it alone.
