GCCWS Weekend Messages

A large majority of Americans believe in the existence of angels! Christian or not, angels have captivated our imaginations. That said, what exactly do we believe about angels? What do you believe about angels? Join your GCC family this week as we continue THE JOURNEY to the birth of Jesus by taking a deeper look at what God says about angels. It has been a wonderful study in God’s Word and I’m ex...

We begin this weekend with a man named John the Baptist. John the Baptist was a messenger of God who prepared the way for Jesus Christ who was the Messiah of God. Luke 1:5-25 records the foretelling of his birth and the story is fascinating. Read it. Pay attention to the details as you read it. Then, come to GCC this weekend and be prepared to begin getting your heart ready for Christmas!

As Thanksgiving approaches, it's common for us to reflect on what we're thankful for. But this year, let's delve deeper. Join us this weekend as will explore profound questions about faith, gratitude, and our relationship with God. Is He Worthy? We'll dive into Psalm 96 and ask ourselves if we truly believe in God's goodness and worthiness of praise. Do our lives reflect this b...

It can be said that without the Holy Spirit, there would be no “missions”.  The great missionary movements of the early church were commanded and appointed by the Spirit of God.  The energy behind the missionary work of the church was and still is today, from the power of the Holy Spirit.  Jesus himself, promised this would happen when he said in Acts 1:8, “But you will receive power when the Holy...

Which way should I go?  In Acts 16, Paul is stopped from going southwest by the Holy Spirit and blocked from going north by the Spirit of Jesus until finally permitted to go northwest.  A. T. Pierson, in his The Acts of the Holy Spirit, says sometimes, we are “forbidden in one direction, invited in another…”.  Pierson gave later examples from the history of missionaries: Adoniram Judson (1788-1850...

This passage demonstrates an amazing way in which the Holy Spirit works in the lives of believers. Those who seek to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit often ask to be shown who in their life God is leading them to seek out. But here, we see the Holy Spirit bringing three men directly to Peter.  When considering how God may be moving in your life, be careful to consider who He has recently brought in...

Phillip’s exit from a thriving revival to encounter one Ethiopian seeker in Acts 8 must have seemed bizarre. Yet Phillip obeyed God’s prompting. In that divine appointment, the eunuch discovered Jesus. God sees people exactly where they are. What might come from radical obedience to that odd divine nudge you can’t shake? The Spirit may seem to lead you away from fruitful work. But God may want to...

This verse gives us two practices that help determine the Lord’s will.   First: worship. Worship is not for God’s benefit… He knows how good and powerful He is. Instead, it is for our benefit! We easily forget how good and powerful God is; thus, we often forget who God is. If we don’t know who our God is, how can we discern His will for our lives?  Second: fast. When we think of fasting, we often...

Over the past several weeks, we have been studying the Holy Spirit over the past several weeks. We have looked at how the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead. He is the believer’s advocate, helper, counselor, guide, light in the darkness, and prayer warrior, and this weekend, we will discover how the Holy Spirit empowers Christians for ministry.

The final week of our Holy Spirit Devotional Series.

Let’s be honest! As much as we love the idea of prayer, prayer can be hard work. That’s true when we don’t know what to pray, or when God’s will is a mystery to us. And it is especially true when we are weak, wrung out by whatever decision or distress or difficulty is dominating our lives. I would guess that most of us, if not all of us, have been in that place sometime in life. We are tempted to...

Inside of every one of us – our minds and our hearts – there is a battlefield – a place where battles have been fought in the past and continue to be fought. It is a battle between our sinful nature and the Holy Spirit; battles between who we are by our natural birth and who we are becoming by our new birth in Jesus Christ. We’ll unpack that truth as we study together Galatians 5:16-25 this weeken...

“Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!” That’s how the apostle Paul celebrates the grace God gives us when Jesus saves us, forgiving our sin and giving us new and eternal lives. But God’s gift giving doesn’t stop there. Once we are saved, and the Holy Spirit lives in us, God continues to give us gifts of grace – gifts that we don’t deserve but that he desires for us to have. In the Bible, G...

We give our conscience too much credit! Does our conscience really “bother us”? Is it our conscience that tells us what is right and what is wrong in life? Not at all. It is the Holy Spirit at work in us, convicting us with regard to the “rights and wrongs” of life. The Spirit is the One who bothers us when we need to be bothered. He is the One who keeps us up all night, or gives us peace and calm...
