    The Mission: The Father's Love (Chris Zauner)

    Welcome to Week One of our new sermon series, “The Mission,” where we explore God’s heart and His redemptive purpose for the world. In this opening message titled “The Father’s Love,” Pastor Chris Zauner challenges us to consider the foundational truth behind all of God’s activity: His love for a broken world. Preaching from John 3:16–21, Pastor Chris unpacks one of the most well-known verses in Scripture—not as a religious cliché, but as the very heartbeat of the gospel and the starting point of God's mission on earth. This is more than a verse on a sign at a sporting event. It’s a divine declaration: God so loved the world that He gave. In a world fractured by anxiety, division, and despair, many are left wondering if anyone truly cares. This message reminds us that God does—deeply. His mission doesn't begin with judgment, distance, or indifference. It begins with love. A love so vast it reaches rebellious, weary, and resistant people. A love so powerful it gave His only Son. A love so inclusive that it invites whoever believes to experience eternal life. This sermon dives deep into: The scope of the Father’s love—it reaches the entire world, not just the religious or righteous.The action of that love—He gave His Son, not advice, rules, or condemnation.The invitation of that love—it is open to all, regardless of background, behavior, or brokenness.The urgency of that love—it rescues from perishing and leads to true life.The promise of that love—eternal life begins now, not just someday in heaven. Pastor Chris reminds us that mission is not about pressure; it's about participation. It’s not something the church invented—it’s what flows from the very nature of God. Before God ever sent the church into the world, He came Himself. Before He commands us to go, He invites us to come. This message is a clear call to return to the foundation: We go on mission because God first loved. Whether you're feeling far from God or simply needing to be reminded of the purpose behind your faith, The Father’s Love will re-center your heart on the motivation behind all mission: the unwavering, initiating, sacrificial love of the Father. 👉 If this message spoke to you, let us know in the comments or reach out for prayer. 🔔 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and turn on notifications so you don’t miss the rest of this powerful series. #TheFathersLove #TheMissionSeries #PastorChrisZauner #EveryNation #Sermon2026 #GodsLove #John316 #ChristianSermon #GospelMessage #ChurchOnline #MissionalChurch #Faith #JesusSaves #EternalLife

    What We Do: Make Disciples (Chris Zauner)

    In week two of our "What We Do" series, Pastor Chris Zauner brings a passionate and timely message titled "Make Disciples," reminding us that the Church’s primary calling is not to build crowds or host great services, but to fulfill the Great Commission. From the words of Jesus in Matthew 28:18–20, Pastor Chris draws us back to the original mission: to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them and teaching them to obey everything Jesus commanded. This sermon is a clear call to reorient our lives around the heart of God’s plan for the Church — multiplication through discipleship. Discipleship is not a modern church innovation or a trendy ministry tool; it was God’s design from the beginning, seen as far back as Genesis 1. Jesus didn’t come to build platforms or produce spiritual consumers. He came to raise disciples who would live like Him, love like Him, and lead others to do the same. Pastor Chris challenges every believer to ask a vital question: Who are you helping follow Jesus? He emphasizes that discipleship is not about spiritual perfection or expertise. If you've been following Jesus for even a few days, you have something to offer. Making disciples is not a program or a curriculum — it’s a lifestyle of proximity, authenticity, and spiritual formation. It requires people willing to open their lives, not just share their knowledge. Throughout the message, we are reminded that fruitful discipleship is not the result of striving, but abiding. Just as branches don’t strain to bear fruit but stay connected to the vine, we are called to remain in Jesus and allow the Holy Spirit to multiply what we surrender. This kind of multiplication, rooted in God's presence and empowered by His Spirit, builds strong churches and sends transformed people into their cities with purpose. As Grace City Church Eugene steps into a new season of growth and opportunity, this message grounds us in what matters most. Our mission — both locally and globally through our Every Nation family — is simple and unshakable: honor God and make disciples. That clarity shapes every service, every group, every act of service, and every conversation. This is not a slogan. It’s obedience to Jesus’ final charge. Whether you're new to faith, still exploring, or looking for your next step in following Jesus, this sermon will challenge you to move from attending to engaging, from consuming to contributing, from watching to multiplying. Let this message stir you toward spiritual depth and Kingdom impact. Stay connected with us for more messages and resources from Grace City Church Eugene as we continue to pursue Jesus and make His name known. Scripture references include: Matthew 28:18–20, Genesis 1, John 15, 2 Timothy 2:2, Mark 3, Luke 6:40, and Ephesians 4. #MakeDisciples #GraceCityEugene #PastorChrisZauner #WhatWeDo #EveryNation #Discipleship #GreatCommission #ChristianSermon #KingdomLiving #ChurchMessage #Sermon2026

    What We Do: Honor God (Casey Olsen)

    “All things were created through Him and for Him.” – Colossians 1:16 In this timely and powerful New Year message, Pastor Casey launches our new series, “What We Do,” with a foundational teaching on what it means to truly honor God with our lives. In a culture shaped by expressive individualism—where we’re taught to center everything around ourselves—this sermon calls us back to a Christ-centered life. Using Colossians 1:15-20, Pastor Casey unpacks the truth that we were not created to be the heroes of our own stories. We were made by Jesus and for Jesus. Honoring God isn’t simply one part of our spiritual life—it is the very purpose of our existence. This message challenges us to evaluate whether Jesus is just another priority on our list, or the center of everything. You’ll be invited to move from self-centered faith to a life marked by worship, obedience, and active participation in God’s redemptive work in the world. Whether you’re resetting your focus for a new year, or exploring what it means to follow Jesus more fully, this sermon will both convict and encourage you to lay down the pressure of self-definition and embrace the freedom of living for God’s glory. Key themes in this message include: Why honoring God is more than a behavior—it’s a lifestyle of alignmentHow self-focused faith leads to fragility and dissatisfactionThe difference between placing Jesus first and making Him the centerThree ways we honor God: through worship, obedience, and joining Him in missionHow to discern where God is already at work and how to respondThis is a message for anyone feeling spiritually scattered, overwhelmed by expectations, or hungry for deeper purpose and direction. It’s an invitation to reframe life, not around your plans, but around God’s greater story. We pray this message encourages you to begin 2026 not with resolutions, but with a reorientation toward Jesus as Lord, King, and Center. Watch, reflect, and respond.

    Between the Advents: The Not Yet Kingdom (Chris Zauner)

    What does it mean to live between the two Advents of Christ? In week two of our Advent series Between the Advents, Pastor Chris Zauner delivers a powerful and deeply honest message titled "The Not Yet Kingdom." This sermon explores the tension of life between Christ’s first coming in humility and His promised return in glory. Pastor Chris leads us through Romans 8:18–25, revealing how even in the midst of suffering, grief, and unanswered prayers, we are not without hope. We live in the "already but not yet" reality of God's kingdom—where Jesus has inaugurated something new, but the full restoration is still to come. This message doesn't shy away from the difficult questions many of us carry during the Advent season: If Christ has already come, why does the world still feel so broken? Pastor Chris reminds us that this ache, this groaning we feel, is not a failure of faith, but evidence that we were made for more—a longing for the completed kingdom to come. We are invited to wait honestly, expectantly, and faithfully—grieving honestly, hoping stubbornly, and living differently in light of the promise that Jesus will return. Advent is not merely a season of memory but one of formation. We are shaped by hope, rooted in the past, and propelled toward a glorious future. If you're navigating a season of pain, loss, or longing, this message is for you. It's a call to bring your full, unfiltered heart to God and to anchor your hope in the promise of restoration, renewal, and resurrection through Jesus. Join us as we continue to live between the manger and the return of the King—carrying a light into darkness that will not be extinguished.

    Between the Advents: The Already Kingdom (Chris Zauner)

    n The Kingdom Already, the opening message of our Advent series Between the Advents, Pastor Chris Zauner invites us to see Christmas not as a sentimental tradition or a distant memory, but as the moment when the light of God broke into human history. The Kingdom of God is not merely something we wait for—it has already begun. Drawing from Luke 4 and Colossians 1, this sermon explores how Jesus' proclamation in the synagogue—“Today this Scripture is fulfilled”—was not just a declaration of his mission, but an announcement that the Kingdom has arrived in him. From that moment, the world began turning toward healing and restoration. Though we still live in a world marked by brokenness, we do so with the sure hope that the decisive victory has already been won. Between the first Advent—Christ's humble birth in the manger—and the second Advent—his glorious return as reigning King—we are called to live as people of the Kingdom. Pastor Chris helps us consider three movements in the biblical narrative that shape how we live now: the Kingdom has come, the King has been revealed, and the Kingdom shapes our lives. What does it mean to live in the “already” of God’s Kingdom? It means allowing Jesus to reign in every part of our lives. It means letting his light reorder our reality—our identity, our mission, our perspective. This message is a call to alignment: not merely to remember the birth of Christ, but to be transformed by his ongoing reign. Christmas is not only the beginning—it is the turning point of the world. The light has come. The King has taken his throne. The victory is secured. Now we live in the tension of gratitude for what Christ has done and hope for what he will do. Join us in this powerful sermon and be encouraged to live faithfully, fully surrendered to the King, until he comes again.

    Present Yourselves: Worship Scattered (Casey Olsen)

    What does it mean to live as scattered worshipers in the everyday spaces of life? In Week 9 of our sermon series, Present Yourselves: Transformed by a Life of Worship, Pastor Casey Olsen challenges us to rethink worship beyond the Sunday gathering. “Worship Scattered” unpacks the truth that we are not only called to gather but to be sent — living missionally in our neighborhoods, workplaces, campuses, and communities. Drawing from John 20:19–23, Pastor Casey explores how Jesus was the first “sent one,” and now commissions us to live the same way — empowered by the Holy Spirit to carry the message of forgiveness and salvation to a watching world. This message is a heartfelt call to live with intentionality and boldness, not out of guilt, but in response to the grace we've received. Whether you're actively living missionally, just beginning to wrestle with your calling, or you're skeptical of the whole idea, this message is for you. Worship doesn’t end on Sundays — it continues in the scattered spaces of our lives. Key Topics Covered: What is scattered worship?The mission of every believerWhy the gathered church is not the finish lineEvangelism through everyday momentsOne place, one person, one practice: practical steps to live sentThe danger of inward-focused faithLiving out the Great Commission with intentionalityThe power of offering prayer in everyday spaces Scripture Reference: John 20:19–23 Romans 10:14 Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24, Acts 1 Takeaway Challenge: Identify 1 place where God has already placed you.Pray for 1 person you can be intentional with this week.Begin 1 practice that makes your faith visible. #WorshipScattered #PresentYourselves #GraceCityChurch #MissionalLiving #John20 #ChristianWorship #SentOnMission #Evangelism #WorshipBeyondSunday #CaseyOlsen #SermonSeries #ChurchOnline #EugeneChurch #GraceCityEugene

In this week’s message titled “Worship Gathered,” Pastor Casey Olsen unpacks the rich truth of Hebrews 10:24–25, urging the Church not to neglect meeting together but to embrace the transformative power of gathered worship. In a culture that normalizes isolation, overcommitment, and DIY spirituality, this sermon reminds us of the biblical rhythm of community that God designed for our flourishing. Pastor Casey speaks directly to the spiritual drift many believers experience when life pulls us away from the people of God, and outlines what we lose when gathering becomes optional—and more importantly, what we gain when we stay rooted in Christian community.
