The Grove Church / Dallas, Texas

The Grove Churchwww.grove.org
The Grove Church is a neighborhood church located in Dallas, TX. We love the imagery of coming together as a community and being the group of 'fruit-bearing trees' that Jeremiah writes about in the Old Testament (see Jeremiah 17:7-8). Our vision for The Grove is to become a church that lives out its faith in tangible ways, intentionally creating environments that gather people together, grow them closer to God, and give back to our neighbors. This podcast is our audio versions of live sermons preached every Sunday online and in-person.

Where Is God in All This?

When suffering shakes our world and the answers feel far away, we need a hope to cling to. In this sermon, Pastor Stephen addresses the hardest questions and helps us discover a God who doesn’t stay distant, but steps in to redeem what’s been broken.

What is the Gospel?

What message are we actually meant to share as followers of Jesus? This week, Pastor Allie explore what the Gospel really is—and what it’s not. From televangelist altar calls to “just be a good person” Christianity, we’ve heard a lot of versions. Some emphasize heaven, others justice, blessing, or behavior. But Jesus had something deeper in mind: a whole new kind of life. Join us as we rediscover the good news Jesus actually preached—and what it means for those we influence today.

What's Influencing You?

What if the thing holding you back from influencing others for Jesus…isn’t your ability—but the voice you’ve been listening to? The false gospel of fear silences your voice, shrinks your calling, and keeps you from living as the salt and light Jesus calls you to be. It’s a counterfeit message—fed by so many other false gospels like performance, perfectionism, shame, and self-reliance—that twists the freedom of Christ into fear-based striving. In week 2 of our Influencer series, Pastor Michele sp...

Influence Without a Mic

We often think influence is for people with platforms, microphones, expertise, or a verified badge. But Jesus had something else in mind. In this sermon on Matthew 5:13-16, Pastor Allie talks about what it means to be salt and light in a world that feels overwhelming—and how your everyday presence might be the very thing God uses to make a difference.

But Why?

Like curious kids asking “But why?”, we all wonder what’s really behind God’s commands. Are they just rules to restrict us, or is there something more going on?

Digital Guardrails

We all know the danger of distracted driving. But what if distraction is quietly wrecking more than our commutes? In a world where our attention is constantly under siege and where screens demand more of us than we realize, it’s time to ask: What is all of this doing to our souls? In this sermon, Pastor Stephen explore the hidden cost of technology and what it might take to get our lives back.

Financial In Dependence

We chase financial independence thinking it will make us free, but it only leaves us more dependent on our money and the false promises it makes. In this sermon, Pastor Stephen shows how Jesus offers a better kind of freedom, one built on trust, not control.

Loving without Losing Yourself

Relationships are beautiful- and complicated. Without clear boundaries, we risk exhaustion, resentment or isolation. In this message, Pastor Allie explores what Scripture says about relational guardrails that help us love others well without losing ourselves.

What is the Church?

In a world where we subscribe and unsubscribe at will, we are being formed into people who struggle to commit to anything beyond ourselves.

Tuning In

We crave clarity from God—guidance, answers, direction. But what if the problem isn’t that God isn’t speaking… what if we just don’t know how to listen? In John 10, Jesus calls himself the Good Shepherd, and says his sheep know his voice. In this sermon, Pastor Allie explores how we become the kind of people who recognize that voice in the middle of a noisy world.

I Am The Bread of Life

We live in a world that keeps us chasing more—more success, more approval, more fulfillment—yet never truly satisfies. In this sermon we wrestle with Jesus’ bold claim: 'I am the Bread of Life,' and uncover what we’re really hungry for… and why only He can satisfy.

Facing Your Shadow

We all wear masks to protect ourselves, but what we suppress doesn’t disappear—it pops out into our relationships. Pastor Allie shows us how Jesus isn’t afraid of our shadow, and when we stop performing and let ourselves be fully seen, we create space for real love actually.

Quick to Listen and Slow to Speak

Ever walked away from a conversation wishing you had stayed quiet? Or felt unheard because someone was too busy preparing their next argument?
