Impact of Grace #8 - Gospel Ambition (Part 2)
Dr. Kurt Bjorklund closes out a year in Romans with Romans 16, showing what a church shaped by the gospel actually looks like: radically inclusive, radically truth-oriented, and radically outward. Discover why resting in what Jesus has done—not self-justification—frees you to welcome others, speak truth in love, and live for something bigger than personal comfort.
Impact of Grace #7 - Gospel Ambition (Part 1)
In this week’s message, Kurt Bjorklund explores Romans 15:8–33 to show how the settled hope believers have in Christ is meant to turn outward toward others. He offers four practical ways—having, embodying, speaking, and partnering for hope—that anyone can put into practice this week, no matter how uncertain life feels right now.
Impact of Grace #6 - Unified Voice
In this message of Orchard Hill's Impact of Grace series, Bryce Vaught opens Romans 15:1–7 to show that real unity is a fruit of grace, not gritted-teeth tolerance. Discover four practical ways to stop people-pleasing and start living — and loving — with one voice.
Impact of Grace #5 - Christian Unity
Dr. Kurt Bjorklund explores Romans 14:1-23, showing how grace-filled believers accept those with different convictions and regulate their freedom for others' good. True acceptance isn't found in self-improvement, but in what Christ has already done.
Impact of Grace #4 - Societal Benefit
Dr. Kurt Bjorklund examines Romans 13:1-14, showing how grace shapes a Christian's public life through submission to authority, genuine love of neighbor, and urgent living. Discover practical ways faith moves from private belief to positive impact on the world around you.
Impact of Grace #3 - Relational Benefit
Dr. Kurt Bjorklund walks through Romans 12:9–21 to show that real love isn't another thing to "max out," but the natural overflow of a life shaped by grace. He unpacks twelve simple, unglamorous qualities—like honesty, patience, and hospitality—that quietly transform our closest relationships when we stop trading love for love and start giving it away.
Impact of Grace #2 - Ministry Engagement
In this message on Romans 12:3–8, Dr. Kurt Bjorklund explores how God's grace calls every believer to serve the church with humility rather than pride or passivity. Discover what gift you've been given — and why waiting for the "perfect" moment to use it may be the very thing holding you back.
Impact of Grace #1 - Complete Devotion
Dr. Kurt Bjorklund unpacks Romans 12:1-2 to show why God's mercy makes complete devotion to Jesus the only reasonable response, not a trade for blessing but true worship. He challenges listeners to stop letting culture shape them and start letting God renew their minds, one everyday choice at a time.
