Text: Luke 1:68-79; John 12:12-16 SALVATION IS REALIZED IN THE PERSON OF JESUS CHRIST…And Salvation arrived in ways no would expect.

Join us for week four of our, Abide With Us, sermon series with special guest preacher, Rev. Geoff Kunselman.

Text: Matthew 6:1-18 Lent is a season that reminds us to become intentional about the hard things in our spiritual journey. We confront our brokenness, our humanity, even our own mortality. On this first Sunday of Lent we are reminded that the clearest way we can reflect Christ is through forgiveness...both experiencing forgiveness and offering forgiveness.

As we wrap our series we are reminded that the most important thing we need to Win The Day is prayer. Prayer helps us see with prophetic imagination how The Lord is leading in the world around us. May we see "Seed The Clouds" with bold prayers and Win The Day.

Text: Matthew 14:22-33 Winning The Day means coming to a point where we have to "cut the rope" or take a step of faith towards where God is leading. Cutting the rope can feel like we are out of control but that is when the hand of the Lord comes near to remind us we are right where we need to be.

Scripture Text: Zechariah 4:6-10 Trusting God with the big things in life begins with trusting him with the small decisions and details of our everyday life. This also means trusting him with the small beginnings of whatever "God sized" dreams he has given us. In week four of our series we discover what it means to "Fly The Kite."

If we want to Win The Day we have to learn to "Kiss The Wave." Charles Spurgeon said, "I've learned to kiss the wave that pushes me up against the Rock of Ages." We may have past failures and fears, but God is calling us out of those fears and into freedom.

This week we welcome guest speaker, Rev. Dr. David Bowser, District Superintendent of the Mid-Atlantic District Church of the Nazarene, as he shares a message from Luke 5:18-26 entitled, "Through The Roof."

Winning The Day begins with Flipping The Script. Genesis 50:20 helps us see that Joseph didn't allow the script of his past keep him trusting God's direction for his life. Yesterday is in the review mirror and tomorrow is still beyond the horizon...our goal is to Win The Day.

God's Steadfast love and faithfulness meet! On this 2nd Sunday of Advent we remember our God has revealed his steadfast love to us through the giving of his son, Jesus Christ.

Happiness is discovering joy that comes from knowing Jesus. In knowing Jesus we are invited to look more like him everyday. Sanctification isn’t a stagnate decision but a dynamic relationship of total dependance on the Spirit of God in our lives. 

Chaplain (Colonel) Jeffrey Hawkins (US Army Retired) is the chaplain endorser for the Church of the Nazarene. He and his wife, Lori, are members here at GFN Church. Jeff shares about the ministry of chaplaincy in the US military and the over 100 Nazarene chaplains who are serving and ministering to those who serve in the US military.

What if happiness begins with surrender? For the Apostle Paul it was full surrender to the gospel that brought him joy. When our focus is the gospel, and how God wants to use all circumstances to advance the gospel, we may find it easier to look beyond ourselves and see what The Lord is doing around us.

Week 1 of our series "Be Happy." As long as we’re making it all about us - our desires, our wants, we will feel like we are always chasing “happy.” Jesus is offering more than happiness, Jesus is offering joy that comes when we choose surrender. Surrender to the way of Jesus Christ. 

(Due to technical difficulties this episode picks up about 4 minutes into the message) Are we ready for what The Lord may say to us or where he may be leading? In Acts 9 both Ananias and Barnabas had Kingdom vision and faith to see what The Lord was going to do through the conversion and life of Saul of Tarsus. The once persecutor of the church was one of the methods The Lord was going to use to a...
