How to Lead People to Christ | Grant Skeldon
Grant Skeldon preaches from John 9 about evangelism, reframing it as more than simply moving someone from 'lost' to 'saved.' He uses the Engel scale idea to show there are many stages on someone's journey to God and argues that any movement closer to Christ is evangelism - planting, watering, or witnessing are all part of God's work. Skeldon encourages practical hospitality, sharing testimony, praying for people, and letting new believers speak about what God has done for them.
The Scariest Prayer You Could Ever Pray | Grant Skeldon
Grant Skeldon addresses the tension between praying for good things and taking action - how to tell when you're moving in faith versus forcing outcomes. He introduces the “scariest prayer” to pray: surrender your request to God and ask him to bless it if it's from him or block it if it's not.
When God Gives You More Than You Can Handle - Grant Skeldon
Grant Skeldon challenges the common saying "God won't give you more than you can handle," calling it "almost true." He argues that the Bible depicts people repeatedly put into situations bigger than they could manage so God can build faith, character, and dependence on him - not to abandon them. Skeldon outlines six spiritual seasons (dry, waiting, grinding, testing, warring, rejoicing), describes signs and temptations for each, and explains the work God intends in them.
Discovering Your Five Fold Ministry Gift - Grant Skeldon
Grant Skeldon teaches on the five-fold ministry from Ephesians 4, arguing that God wires believers with primary and secondary giftings - apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds (pastors), and teachers - to build up the body and advance the mission. He reads Ephesians 4:1 and 4:11-12, explains each gifting's strengths, common occupations, and shadow sides, and insists these are functions/wirings (not titles or offices).
For God's Glory or Mine - Grant Skeldon
Grant Skeldon preaches from Matthew 6:1-8, arguing that much of Christian life is meant to be lived in the unseen and that God cares about the motives behind our public acts. Jesus warns against practicing righteousness for recognition - giving, fasting, and prayer should flow from intimacy with the Father, not a desire for a platform or applause.
How To Pray - Grant Skeldon
Grant Skeldon teaches a practical framework for prayer using the acronym P.R.A.Y.: Pause, Rejoice, Ask, Yield. He begins with a short "prayer audit" (percent requesting vs rejoicing; praying for self vs others) to help people assess their patterns.
Secure In Other’s Success - Grant Skeldon
Grant Skeldon preached about how comparison and insecurity undermine unity and steal joy, using recent sports examples (Caitlin Clark) and biblical stories (Saul and David, Andrew, Jonathan) to show the cost. He argues that when we idolize our gifts, platform or reputation we subtly shift from serving God to serving our own status - a 'leadership lie' that expects God to raise our name as he raises His.
Preparing For Mentorship - Grant Skeldon
Grant Skeldon teaches on how to intentionally find and receive mentorship/discipleship as a regular spiritual habit. He distinguishes mentorship (scheduled meetings) from discipleship (joining someone's life) and roots the practice in Jesus' Great Commission and Paul’s model of sharing both the gospel and life.
Audacious Faith - Grant Skeldon
Grant Skeldon preaches that Christians should adopt an audacious posture of assumption - assuming God's power and his good character even when circumstances (or past disappointments) suggest otherwise. He uses Gospel stories (the woman who touched Jesus, the centurion, the paralyzed man lowered through the roof) to show that bold expectation of God often invites miraculous action.
The War Within - From Talk To Walk (pt.8) - Grant Skeldon
Grant Skeldon preaches from James about the "war within," the internal conflict when our desires are split between the world and God. He opens with a personal story about being dragged to church and uses James 4:1 to show quarrels and fights flow from passions at war inside us.
INTENTIONALITY - From Talk To Walk (pt.4) - Grant Skeldon
Grant Skeldon preaches from James 2:1-13 about the danger of showing partiality in the church and offers intentionality as the remedy. He reads James and highlights how favoritism contradicts the 'royal law' to love your neighbor, and how mercy should inform our judgment.
5 Ways To Kill Comparison - Grant Skeldon
Grant Skeldon teaches that comparison is a spiritual attack disguised as a normal habit, rooted in the belief that you are not getting what you deserve. He explains how that feeling of deserve fueled Saul's jealousy of David and how taking our eyes off Jesus leads to sinking like Peter.
