GCCWS Weekend Messages

In John 10:7, Jesus declares, 'I am the door of the sheep,' symbolizing profound spiritual truths. He is the door to salvation, offering safety and security. He provides freedom, allowing us to live confidently under His watchful eye. Jesus also promises an abundant life filled with peace, joy, and goodness. His claim is exclusive, emphasizing that He is the only way to eternal life. Reflect on yo...

Have you ever wondered if people can tell that you are a follower of Jesus just by observing your life? In John 15:1-8, Jesus declares, 'I am the true vine,' a statement that underscores His role as the only way to God. As branches, we are called to abide in Him, allowing His life to flow through us and produce fruit. This fruit, which includes good works and godly character, makes it evident to o...

Today, we continue in our series on the seven "I Am" statements made by Jesus, as recorded in the Gospel of John. As we turn the pages to John 6, we discover that "many" left Jesus. You might ask, "What did Jesus say caused so many to go?" After all those miracles and multiple sermons, thousands are reduced to dozens because Jesus said one thing.

This week, we continue our series in the I AM statements of Jesus as we explore what a life surrendered to Jesus requires of us.

On a scale of 1 to 10, HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW JESUS? Whatever we know about Jesus, we need to take it to the next level. We need to know Him better and deeper than we do at present. We need to embrace the truth about Him and allow that truth to change our lives. And that’s where we are going over the next eight weeks of worship at GCC. We’re going to take what we presently know about Jesus, and take...

The story of Joseph, as told in Genesis 37-50, can be summarized by three key words: pit, prison, and palace. Over recent weeks, we've explored Joseph's journey, from being thrown into a pit by his brothers and sold into slavery, to being imprisoned due to Potiphar's wife, and finally being restored from the prison to the palace as second-in-command. Joseph's story is a testament to God's providen...

Are you feeling stuck in life's "pit moments," wondering if there's any hope for change? Join us this Sunday as we continue our “Meant for Good:The Life of Joseph" series with a message that will give you new perspective on life's ups and downs. Discover how Joseph's journey from prison to Pharaoh's right hand reveals God's unwavering presence in both our darkest valleys and highest peaks. Togethe...

Waiting is often a difficult and frustrating experience, but the story of Joseph in Genesis 40 provides profound insights into how we can 'win the wait' by trusting in God's timing and faithfulness. Joseph, sold into slavery by his brothers and later imprisoned due to false accusations, spent thirteen years in Egypt, much of it in prison. Despite these hardships, Joseph remained faithful to God, i...

We are two weeks in to our study of the life of Joseph as recorded in Genesis 37-50, and it certainly does have all the makings of a soap opera! This weekend, we turn the pages to Genesis 39. When we concluded last week, we left Jacob in a state of overwhelming grief, mourning and weeping over the loss of the son whom he loved more than any of his other sons. And we left Joseph in the hands of som...

Last weekend, we launched this sermon series on the life of Joseph whose story is told in Genesis 37-50. He is best known for his coat of many colors, but there is so much more to his life than his coat. However, the hero of his story is not Joseph, but God and God alone. Joseph’s story is a story of God’s providence, and God’s providence is best defined as GOD FOR US. God cares for us, provides f...

This Fall, GCC will journey through Genesis 37-50 with the family of Jacob, a father, and his sons, as God's providential hand is vividly on display in the life of one of Jacob's younger sons, Joseph. We meet him as a 17-year-old young man quarreling with his brothers, but quickly, he is tossed into a pit and then thrown into prison. He ultimately enters the palace of Pharaoh. His position in the...

This weekend, we are finishing the letter of Jude. Last week, Pastor Mike led us through the deep waters of Jude 1-16, where Jude filleted false teachers because false teachers often paint a beautiful picture. Still, the aftermath is one of division and devastation. The first half of Jude calls us to contend for the faith, and the second part gives us four steps to contend. Join us this weekend as...

Let’s talk about fighting! There are laws against fighting, and there are punishments for fighting. Then, we open the Bible to the little New Testament letter of Jude, and Jude urges us to fight. He urges faithful, law-abiding, peace-loving followers of Jesus to fight for the faith. Join your GCC family this Labor Day weekend as we dive into Jude 1-16 and learn how to protect and preserve God’s tr...

Explore the power of unity at Grace Community Church. Discover how, despite our differences, we are united as one body in Jesus Christ. Join us this weekend as we delve into Psalm 133 and grow together in the unity of faith.

Did you know that the Bible encourages us to imitate to become more like Jesus? Join us as reflect on 3 John.

As one scholar has said, “The truth makes true love possible.” Since the beginning of April, GCC has been in a series on the letters of John. We just wrapped up 1 John, and this weekend, we shift our attention to 2 John. 2 John is just 13 verses, less than 300 words, and yet do not let the brevity of 2 John deceive you. Sometimes less is more. 2 John powerfully helps avert a theological crisis – m...

How do we stay true to our faith in a world where distractions abound? Join us as we reflect on the end of 1 John and consider what 1 John 5:16 -21 tells us about prayer, community, and avoiding modern-day idols. Discover how to live an "eternal life" that stands out in today's culture and keep Jesus at the center of your life.

Learning how to pray with confidence will be the focus of our study this weekend as we begin to dig into the final verses of 1 John. 1 John 5:14-1514 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.

Do you know with absolute certainty that when your life on earth is over, you will live forever with Jesus Christ in Heaven? Last weekend, we learned how to be triumphant in life – how to overcome the troubles we face in this life. This weekend, we will learn how to be triumphant in death – how to overcome the fears and doubts we may have as we think about dying. The key to both is the same – fait...

We discuss overcoming challenges in this broken world by living a triumphant life in Jesus! 1 John 5:1-5 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well. 2 This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. 3 In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands...

Learn about how Jesus is the savior of the WHOLE WORLD and not just our little part of the world.

This powerful reflection on 1 John 4:7-21 shows us how we can love in a way that reflects Christ.

With so many different churches saying seemingly different things, how can we know what is true? Find out with us as we study 1 John 4:1-6. The church of John’s day was facing a threat and it was the threat of false teaching. It is not unlike some of the threats facing the larger church today.

Have you ever had doubts about your relationship with God? You believe in and trust Jesus Christ, and you are striving to live out your faith in Christ, but doubts still ‘rear their ugly head.’ How do you deal with those doubts? There is only one answer to those questions, and that answer: TRUST IN GOD. The path to assurance in times of self-doubt is trust in God. How that truth works itself out i...
