GSC Loveland

We are stepping into a new year under a bigger banner: the Everlasting Kingdom. Last year broke a lot of illusions, but it also awakened hunger, prayer, and resolve. Our response is simple and weighty: seek first the Kingdom, build deep personal holiness, invest in real prayer, and commit to the local church for the good of Northern Colorado.

In this Advent message, we explore how God’s love is not an abstract idea but a person, Jesus, who arrived to dwell with us. Scripture reveals that this divine love, agape, defines Christianity, transforms lives, unifies divided people, and makes the invisible God visible through His church. As we reflect on the arrival of love itself, we’re invited not just to receive God’s love, but to live as c...

Joy is not tied to our circumstances. It flows from knowing Jesus. When the angel announced good news of great joy, it was not about a temporary feeling, but an eternal reality. The Savior has come! This kind of joy is rooted in our salvation and shows up in how we live—through obedience, generosity, perseverance in trials, life together as the church, and praise. It’s a joy we get to walk in and...

Advent peace is not found in Santa, schedules, or one more perfect family moment. It is found in Jesus, our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. When we surrender to His rule, let His word counsel us, and cast our cares on Him, the peace of God guards our hearts and the God of peace walks with us. Surrender to Jesus and receive soul-deep peace.

Daniel 12 brings the whole story home with hope. Yes, trouble will come, but God is faithful to deliver His people and raise the righteous. Daniel is told to go his way and finish well—and that call is ours too. As we step into Advent, this chapter reminds us that Scripture strengthens our endurance and lights the fuse of real, lasting hope. Let’s be a people who endure with confidence, trusting t...

Daniel 11-12 pulls back the curtain: God really does call history in advance, evil only runs on a leash, and Jesus ends the story with resurrection hope. If you have been confused, you are in good company with Daniel and the disciples, so trust God, live ready, and keep a faithful witness in the middle of the mystery. Heaven rules. Evil expires. Saints rise forever.

Daniel 10 rips back the veil. While Daniel fasts and prays, heaven moves, an angel is delayed by the prince of Persia, and Michael joins the fight. The message is clear: you are not finished, there is a real spiritual battle, you are greatly loved, so be strong and step into intercession with courage.

Daniel 9 shows what it looks like to set your face to God. Daniel fasts, confesses, and pleads on the basis of who God is, and while he is still praying God sends Gabriel with insight. The seventy sevens invite humility about timelines and confidence in Jesus, so we pray hard, repent quickly, and live ready. Set your face. Pray. Repent. Live ready.

What if prophecy isn’t about predicting the future, but seeing how big God really is? In Daniel 8, we watch kingdoms rise and fall and realize that even when evil oversteps, God’s still in control. This message invites you to look up, stand in awe, and remember—history’s not random, it’s in His hands.

This week we shift from stories to visions and Daniel 7 pulls back the curtain. Beasts rage, the Ancient of Days takes His seat, and the Son of Man receives an everlasting kingdom. Do not get lost in horn charts; these visions call us to endurance, worship, and confidence that God rules. Heaven rules: endure, saints win with Jesus.

Daniel 6 isn’t a cute flannelgraph—it’s a masterclass in a life anchored by prayer. Daniel didn’t scramble at 80; he lived pre-decided: three times a day, face toward home, heart toward God. Prayer was his defiance and his lifeline—so when the law changed, his routine didn’t.

Chapter 5 is a wake-up call: Belshazzar knew Nebuchadnezzar’s story and still mocked God—using holy things for his own pleasure—so the hand wrote, “Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin.” Your days are numbered; you’ve been weighed and found wanting; your kingdom is divided. God is sovereign over empires and evenings—so humble yourself now, honor Him with reverence, and run to Jesus, the only One who makes us...

Between chapters 4 and 5, the headlines go quiet—but Daniel doesn’t. He lives Jeremiah 29 on the ground: pray, work with integrity, walk wisely, and seek the city’s good for the long haul. Revival isn’t a weekend—it’s decades of no-compromise faithfulness that has the ear of the king when it counts. Hidden years forge influence—seek your city’s good.

A prideful king is humbled, driven from power until he lifts his eyes to heaven. God’s mercy pursues even the arrogant, leading Nebuchadnezzar from rebellion to repentance and reminding us that His kingdom alone endures forever.

Nebuchadnezzar loves God’s power but misses God, building a 90-foot ego in the plain of Shinar. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego don’t posture—they worship: “Our God is able… but even if He doesn’t, we will not bow.” God doesn’t keep them from the fire; He meets them in it—so ask it straight: how’s the soil of your heart? Don’t bow. Worship God alone. He is with you.

We don’t wait for the heat to decide—like Daniel, we resolve not to defile ourselves and consecrate our lives to God first. In Daniel 2 a sleepless king melts down, but Daniel answers with prudence and prayer, points the credit to God, and delivers the dream: kingdoms rise and fall, but the stone not cut by hands—Jesus—topples the statue and fills the earth. Don’t miss God by settling for what he...

Daniel opens with a gut-check: we’re living as exiles, but God’s still running the show (Dan. 1:2). Babylon will tug at our worship, worldview, and identity, so we’re choosing Daniel-style resolve—engaged in our city, zero compromise, eyes on Jesus. Exile resolve: influence without compromise.

This message reminds us that God designed us for deep, Christ-centered relationships that shape who we are and how we live. By embracing the sacred pace of friendship—slowing down, being present, and walking with others—we discover the kind of community where love, forgiveness, and transformation can truly take root.

We don’t just form friendships - our friendships form us. All over the Bible, we see that who we walk with, stand with, and sit with shapes our future. God calls us to cultivate friendships that help us grow into our full redeemed potential - and it starts with a friendship with Him.

We often think deep friendships just happen, but the truth is they’re built—through initiative, vulnerability, and shared purpose. This message reminds us that meaningful friendships are worth the effort because we were made for people, and we become more like Jesus when we pursue others in love. Friendship is built—not found—through intentional love.

Friendship isn’t just a good idea—it’s God’s design! We were made for people.

God didn’t just save us to sit—He saved us to shine. Following Jesus means gathering, growing, and going so others can see, taste, and know the glory of God through our lives. Saved people go with purpose and power.

In this sermon from our For the King series, Pastor Taylor challenges us to take personal ownership of our spiritual growth. Rooted in Deuteronomy 6, Ephesians 4, and the life of Jesus, we’re reminded that faith isn’t inherited by proximity—it’s formed by practice. If we want the next generation to know Jesus deeply, we have to go there first.

This week, we explore how Jesus modeled gathering in various ways—large, small, and personal—and how the early church followed His example. From crowded temples to intimate dinners and quiet moments alone, we’re invited to gather for the King and His glory.

Psalm 127 reminds us that unless the Lord is in it, all our efforts are empty. We’re called to build, dream, and pursue boldly—but only if it’s for His glory and others’ good, not our own name.
