Pastor John Lovell
We are Grace City Church in Rome, Georgia.
We preach the Word of God unapologetically and seek to apply the truths of the gospel to our everyday lives. We build authentic relationships by doing real life together in community. And we call the men to step up and lead their families with intentionality, so that they, their wives, and their children can stand firm and thrive in the midst of cultural chaos and confusion.

Pastor John Lovell
Matthew & the Call of the Unworthy | Mark 2:13-17

When Jesus Christ stepped into His earthly ministry, creating the most powerful religion on the planet, He didn't qualify His disciples through a resume filled with worldly accolades. The clever, hard-working, skilled leaders with excellent management and fund-raising skills were not the priority for Him, as He chose the unwanted, the poor, and the broken. God does not choose His teams like people do - He chooses the unworthy whose hearts are in need of rescue. Listen this week as Pastor John details the nature of Jesus's invitation, calling the most hated sinners to leave it all and follow Him. There was no mission statement, no begging or bargaining, no explanation of what this journey would entail - just pure faith in the Messiah that had come as promised! Jesus called out the proud and the arrogant who can never be satisfied outside of Jesus Christ Himself, and encourages all believers to just follow Him.
Thanks for listening!
