Welcome to Ministry of Grace
Hi, Welcome to Ministry of Grace. Our passion is to study and teach God’s Holy Word, the Bible. On these pages you will find resources to help you study the Bible on your own. We are adding content weekly from our Sunday morning sermons.
Will is currently preaching a series on the book of 1 Peter. As each sermon is completed, it will be posted on the “1 Peter” page. These sermons are also available via YouTube videos.

We are now a Tax Exempt organization!
Over the past year and a half we have been communicating with the IRS to gain tax-exempt status. Here is part of the letter we just received from them:
“We’re pleased to tell you we determined you’re exempt from federal income tax under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 501(c)(3). Donors can deduct contributions they make to you under IRC Section 170.”
Are You Rapture Ready?
The rapture of the church is when Jesus will come to the atmosphere of the earth and “snatch away” or “rapture” all believers from the earth. It will include all those believers who have died in the faith, as well as all those believers who are alive at the time. We will all have our earthly bodies changed into heavenly (incorruptible) bodies. Immediately after the rapture (or as part of the process) we will appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ (also called the Bema Seat Judgment), where we will receive rewards for the works that we have done for God’s glory while on this earth. For a more detailed discussion of the rapture event, see the study on this site under “Bible Studies/Revelation.” There you will find ancillary studies that help understand the Revelation, including a study on the Rapture. This complete study is available as a downloadable PDF file.
The Rapture is the next event on the eschatological (end times) calendar that precedes the seven-year Tribulation (also called Daniel’s seventieth week). However, after the Rapture, and before the Tribulation, there will be a battle against Israel known as “the Ezekiel War” or “The War of Gog and Magog.” On these pages you will find a study of this battle (it’s not really a war, just a battle that will be over almost before it begins).

1 Thessalonians
After chapter 17 in the book of Acts, we decided to switch over to the book of 1 Thessalonians. Although this letter was written from Corinth some time after Paul left Thessalonica, we thought it would be best to try to maintain a general chronological order in our study through the New Testament.
We took a break from the book of Acts to go through the book of Galatians. This is s logical direction to go after the fifteenth chapter of Acts. Paul has just dealt with the false teaching of legalism and has appeared before the Jerusalem Council to get a judgment decision from the apostles and elders at Jerusalem. The book of Galatians is a direct treatise on the legalism that had also crept into the churches there.
As with our other series, we’ve provided links to the YouTube videos of these sermons.

Many of our past posts have been collected into books which are available on Amazon. These books include: James, Ephesians, 1 Peter, 2 Peter, and Romans (3 books). Other books are on the way. Click on the image to the left to see these books.
These books are designed to be read daily as both a devotional and a way to study completely through books of the New Testament withoug making the study too difficult.
