Make God Bigger: Practical Faith and Stewardship with Pastor Grace DeCuir
Pastor Grace DeCuir opens this episode of Moments with Grace with a simple call: praise, pray, and choose joy. She reminds us that every moment connects — worship, the Word, and stretching our faith. The mercies of God are new every morning, she says, and choosing to rejoice is a daily decision that shifts our perspective even when headlines and grocery receipts scream otherwise. Pastor Grace invites listeners to "make God big". Bigger than diagnoses, the economy, or fear and to intentionally exalt His name together.
Facing today's challenges with faith
Grace speaks honestly about living in unprecedented times and how communities once leaned on each other through scarcity and creative stewardship. She references Philippians 4:19, "my God shall supply", and challenges believers not to shrink God down with fearful speech. Instead, we are to bring God into remembrance, ask for godly wisdom, and practice gratitude. She uses Scripture, testimony, and historic examples (Nehemiah, Moses) to urge us to guard our minds, renew them with the Word, and move forward into the potential God placed in each life.
Practical stewardship: faith in action
The sermon pivots to concrete, actionable guidance: trim waste, seek godly financial wisdom, and protect your tithes and seed. Pastor Grace shares a personal memory of being taught to save $25 per paycheck, a discipline that paid off, and emphasizes putting savings out of reach, practicing fasting to strengthen discipline, and discerning when to cut discretionary spending (drive-thrus, extra subscriptions) while maintaining generosity. Stewardship extends beyond money to time, health, and mental focus; being better managers of these resources helps us live the "more abundant life" Jesus promised.
Closing prayer and invitation
Pastor Grace closes with a teachable prayer: asking God to cancel the enemy’s assignments, heal, and help listeners become faithful stewards so they can fulfill their kingdom assignments. She encourages declaring blessings, “I am blessed”, and leans on community and platforms like the Power of Praise Network to extend encouragement.
