Grandview Church Sunday Sermons

Grandview Church in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Message by Jeremy McQuoid, September 13, 2026. Vision Sunday, Part Two (Exodus 3:1-15). On this, our second Vision Sunday, we are going to ask the question, 'Why do we do all that we do?' Why do we make disciples and extend the kingdom? Why do we serve and witness and go through the awkwardness of accountability? The simple reason is 'because we have met with God'! We can have the sharpest vision statement in the world, but if we forget WHO we are doing it all for, we lose our whole reason for being as a church. Revelation comes before mission. This week, we will look at Exodus 3, where God reveals Himself to Moses BEFORE sending him on mission. Who is this God we are serving? What is it about Him that motivates us to 'go and make disciples'? Sermon Notes: https://files.constantcontact.com/c9963bc7001/668cf4b0-d787-4fbc-bab7-982713e7daa3.pdf?rdr=true

Grandview Church in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Message by Jeremy McQuoid, September 6, 2026. Vision Sunday (Matthew 28:16-20). Over the next two Sundays (September 6 and 13), we will look at our vision as a church as we launch a new ministry year. This Sunday, September 6, we will present our church mission statement, and the sermon will focus on Jesus' call to 'make disciples' from Matthew 28. We call it the Great Commission – a mission for all believers in every generation. You may have been at Grandview half your life, or you may have just joined us recently. Either way, come and reflect with us on Grandview's mission, and ask God what part He wants you to play.

Grandview Church in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Message by Tim Mudde, August 30, 2026. The Barrier-Free Gospel (Acts 10:1-23). The gospel continues to spread because of a sheet! We see how God orchestrates two visions in two cities miles apart, opening the door for the gospel to keep spreading. In this passage, we also see how the gospel tears down every social and religious barrier because it has come for everyone. While this is something to celebrate, it also brings important considerations for us as disciples as we join in God’s mission.

Grandview Church in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Message by Jeremy McQuoid, August 23, 2026. The Blessing of the Gospel (Acts 9:32-43). Often churches have hindered people from seeing the beauty of the gospel. When we retreat into legalism, empty ritual and political pressure groups, it's no wonder people fail to see the beauty of Christ. But at its heart, the gospel is the most beautiful message in the world, and in Acts 9, Luke helps us see some of its beauty, as Peter brings resurrection hope to ordinary saints whose good deeds put the gospel on full display.

Grandview Church in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Message by Jeremy McQuoid, August 16, 2026. New Life in Christ (Acts 9:19-31). When Christ comes into your life, everything changes. That's certainly what Paul experienced after his dramatic Road to Damascus conversion. In Acts 9, we look at his first few months as a believer and apostle - the power of his message, running for his life, and his first contact with saints in Jerusalem he had previously wanted to murder. When Christ comes in, He changes everything. That was true for Paul, and it's true for you and me, too.

Grandview Church in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Message by Jeremy McQuoid, August 9, 2026. How Can I Be Saved? (Acts 9:1-19). The famous Road to Damascus conversion story is repeated three times in the book of Acts because it's so pivotal, not only to the story of the early church, but as a tremendous testimony to the power of the gospel. Paul's conversion story mirrors the process behind all our conversions and reveals the mysterious power at the heart of the gospel. Reflect on God's grace and your own conversion, and let it fuel your prayers and give you confidence as you share the gospel with others.

Grandview Church in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Message by Jacob Elliott, August 2, 2026. The Simplicity of Sharing the Gospel (Acts 8:26-40). Do you believe in chance? Is your life comprised of a series of coincidences? Or is there purpose in the specific events of your life? It’s easy to go about our days without giving them much thought. But God has given much thought to our days. He cares deeply about each decision we make, each conversation we have, and every place we go. The reason He cares so much is because He has a purpose for your life! An ongoing theme that we’ve seen in the book of Acts is that God has purposed the church to be the means by which the gospel flame is spread. This Sunday, we’ll discover that spreading the flame – sharing the gospel – is simpler than we might have thought, because God is sovereign over the spreading flame.

Grandview Church in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Message by Andrew DeGraaf, July 26, 2026. Was Simon Truly Saved? (Acts 8:5-25). Every good investigation begins with a question. Sometimes, the answer seems obvious at first, but as more evidence comes to light, what we first assumed isn't always the whole story. In Acts 8, we meet a man named Simon. At first glance, he appears to respond to the gospel just like everyone else around him. But as the story unfolds, Luke invites us to look more carefully beneath the surface. As we work through this passage together, we'll carefully examine what happened and ask an important question, not just about Simon, but ultimately about ourselves.

Grandview Church in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Message by Tim Mudde, July 19, 2026. The Spirit-Empowered Life (Acts 6:8-8:3). Stephen's life forces us to answer a challenging question: Are we following religious traditions, or are we living a life that is empowered by the Spirit? As Stephen stands before the religious leaders, we see two completely different ways of living. One resists God's truth and the work of the Holy Spirit. The other is empowered by God's grace, rooted in His truth, and fully surrendered to Christ. Acts 6:8 - 8:3 outlines these ways of living and shows us the results of each, which will challenge our perspective on what it means to submit to God fully.

Grandview Church in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Message by Jeremy McQuoid, July 12, 2026. Growing Pains (Acts 6:1-7). Church growth is a wonderful thing, but it can also create challenges. With the sheer numbers and diversity of people who were entering the church, some believers' care needs were being overlooked. How could the apostles keep preaching and expanding the work of the gospel, while also meeting all the needs of the church? Acts 6 outlines the problem and the solution the apostles found, which enabled the gospel to grow back then and can help it grow today.

Grandview Church in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Message by Jeremy McQuoid, July 5, 2026. Is God Really at Work Among Us? (Acts 5:12-42). The book of Acts teaches us that the gospel is meant to grow. But how can we measure its growth? It's more than just numbers and statistics. Acts 5:12-42 shows us several key signs that tell us if the gospel is growing at Grandview. How do we measure up?

Grandview Church in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Message by Jeremy McQuoid, June 28, 2026. Stop Playing Around with God! (Acts 5:1-11). A shocking story interrupts all the wonderful accounts of the growth of the Gospel in Acts. While there was huge generosity in the Christian community, there were some who were pretending to be more godly than they really were. Still, nothing prepares us for the horrific account of Ananias and Sapphira dropping dead under God's judgement. How can we understand God's seeming harshness here, and what is Luke trying to teach us about the fear of the Lord?

Grandview Church in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Message by Jon Cleland, June 21, 2026. Christian Unity, Generosity, and Leadership (Acts 4:32-37). This Sunday, we are continuing our series, The Spreading Flame, as we study Acts 4:32–37. This passage gives us a picture of what life looked like for the early church. Based in their belief in Christ’s resurrection and their union with Christ, the Christians also had unity with one another and were generous in how they cared for each other. This passage also shows us how belief in Christ is lived out by Christian leaders and hints at how different Christian communities need to function differently. Overall, this passage challenges us to ask – does my belief in Christ shape the way I think about and live in community with other Christians?

Grandview Church in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Message by Jeremy McQuoid, June 7, 2026. The Secret of Gospel Growth (Acts 4:1-31). How does the gospel grow? We know in Acts that it is intended to. But how does it happen? Acts 4 tells us the secrets to gospel growth as persecution hits the church for the first time, Peter preaches boldly, and the Christians pray until the room shakes.

Grandview Church in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Message by Jeremy McQuoid, May 31, 2026. Healing for the Soul (Acts 3:1-26). Advertisers tell us to pay close attention to our bodies. But Jesus has come to heal our souls. Looking after our bodies in a fallen world is not our greatest need. It's our souls that will last forever. How does Jesus bring healing to our souls, and what will that healing look like in the world to come? Join us on Sunday to find out.

Grandview Church in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Message by Jeremy McQuoid, May 24, 2026. The Church at Its Best (Acts 2:42). Many Christians say that we need to return to the early church if we want our churches today to be healthy. Acts 2:42 is a summary verse that teaches us the kind of priorities the early church devoted themselves to, which made them such a powerful vehicle for the Holy Spirit. How does Grandview match up today? With all the things we could be doing as a church, what do we need to devote ourselves to in order to become a vehicle for the Spirit's power?

Grandview Church in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Message by Tim Mudde, May 17, 2026. The Heart of a Spirit-Filled Message (Acts 2:14-41). After Pentecost, the Apostle Peter stood up to preach the first Christian sermon to all those who were witnesses of the event. This is one of the best sermons that has ever been preached. While the content was great, there is more here than just a sermon; there is also a call for all of us, as Spirit-filled messengers, to be prepared as we seek to share the good news in the ways that God has uniquely called us.

Grandview Church in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Message by Jeremy McQuoid, May 10, 2026. Pentecost! (Acts 2:1-13). Who is the Holy Spirit? What has He come to do? Join us as we study the Day of Pentecost, when tongues of fire came to rest on the first Christians, and they rushed out into the streets to declare the wonders of God to an international audience who heard the Word of God in their own languages. What does the Spirit want to do in us today? Sermon Notes: https://files.constantcontact.com/c9963bc7001/336697ce-4bb3-4c1d-8e48-30deb059f8a3.pdf?rdr=true

Grandview Church in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Message by Jeremy McQuoid, May 3, 2026. Are We Ready for the Spirit? (Acts 1:12-26). How can we prepare ourselves for a fresh outpouring of Holy Spirit power? In Acts 1:12-26, we see how the first Christians prepared themselves for the arrival of the Spirit at Pentecost. What characterized these Christians that meant God was pleased to pour out His Spirit on them? What is He looking for in our lives today?

Grandview Church in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Message by Dr. Rick Reed, April 26, 2026, 9AM. Living as a Limited Edition (1 Kings 19). Facing our own limits can be a painful, but profitable, experience. Just ask Elijah. After a dramatic moment of spiritual victory, he finds himself running scared and running out of hope. This Sunday at Grandview, as we prepare for our Christ in Culture Conference, Dr. Rick Reed will highlight some important lessons from Elijah’s life as recorded in 1 Kings 19. These lessons will help us face and embrace our own limits in a spiritually profitable way.
