Grace & Peace Pres

This feed collects morning sermons from Grace & Peace, a church in Greenville, South Carolina. The preaching is expository and patient. Passages get read closely and worked through, not sampled for a theme. Series run across many weeks — one follows the life of Jacob all the way to Genesis 35, and the preacher admits he'll miss him, scheming and lying and all. What sets the rhythm is how the sermons begin. One opens on the round of interviews former Senator Ben Sasse gave after his December pancreatic cancer diagnosis, including a conversation with Ross Douthat of the New York Times recorded on day 99 of a three-to-four-month prognosis. Another begins with the Baltimore Ravens releasing their 2025 schedule as a seven-minute video riffing on Apple TV's Severance, and asks why a reveal holds people who don't care about football at all. A third sizes up March Madness: Solomon Ball of the Yukon Huskies, six-four and two hundred pounds, looking exactly like a basketball player is supposed to look, set against Robbie Avila, whose name doesn't scream the sport. A fourth starts with a family newly moved to town, a last box finally unpacked by the kids, and books that had sat in an attic since Charleston. These aren't decorations. Each one becomes the door into the passage. Colossians 1 leads to Paul in prison, writing to believers in Colossae he had never met, connected only through Epaphras, a church planter converted under Paul's teaching in Ephesus. Matthew 8 leads to a man with leprosy who by law had to warn healthy people away by calling out his own condition — followed by a stretch on The Pit, the emergency-room drama set over a single shift in Pittsburgh, and the people who come through those doors looking for healing. John 21 lands on the three times John says Jesus revealed himself, repeated so no reader can miss it. The theology is direct and repeated on purpose: God comes seeking people who were not seeking him, grace pours down again and again, hope rests outside the self. Sentences stay plain. Illustrations stay concrete. The voice is conversational, self-deprecating about math and about how long a series has run, and comfortable naming what the congregation may have forgotten during the week. Sermons end in prayer spoken over the room, often gesturing toward the communion table or the waters of baptism, asking for endurance and patience with joy. With over four hundred episodes, the archive covers long stretches of Old Testament narrative and Gospel accounts alike. It suits anyone who wants preaching that respects both the text and the week the listener actually had.
