“Found by grace.” The service identifies Genesis 6:8 as the first occurrence of grace in Scripture and says the King James “grace” and New Living “favor” point to God’s unmerited favor.
Grace found Noah
The sermon says the proper view is “grace found Noah,” emphasizing that grace is always God-initiated and is not something a person earns or controls by effort.
Grace makes you the exception to the rule
The first stated indicator of being found by grace is that “grace makes you the exception to the rule.” The sermon connects Noah’s close fellowship with God and obedience to grace finding him.
Grace requires participation beyond perception
The second stated point is that “grace requires you to participate at a level you can’t perceive.” The sermon says grace may stretch a person to do things they have never done before.

The weight of a second chance
Bishop Terry L. Hill, Jr. · Aug 30, 2026
From Exodus 34, the speaker teaches that after we mishandle what God has given us, God may still speak to us and offer another chance—but that second chance carries responsibility, effort, and preparation. Like Moses, we must “chisel out” what we broke and show up differently so we can leave differently.
An Obligated Community
Bishop Terry L. Hill, Jr. · Aug 30, 2026
Teaching from Mark 2:1–12: four friends refuse to let their paralyzed friend miss the opportunity to get to Jesus. An obligated community takes responsibility to carry others, pushes through obstacles, and is willing to take radical steps to put a need in front of Jesus. Jesus first heals what can’t be seen (forgiveness, guilt, shame), then also heals what can be seen to prove his authority, moving people from onlookers to joint praisers.
The Power of God's Community
Elder Steven Harris · Aug 23, 2026
The speaker teaches that living near people (or attending church) is not the same as belonging to God’s community. God’s community requires established relationships marked by trust, respect, unity, love, and sanctification—separation from unbelief and ungodly practices. Using Israel’s encounter with Moab and Balaam, the sermon highlights that God gives His people a reputation, preserves His community, and warns that the enemy tries to weaken community through compromise from within.
