Join your GCC family as we continue to celebrate the truth that JESUS IS LORD! We will begin a new sermon series this weekend that will take us into the riches of 1, 2, and 3 John. These New Testament letters were written to a group of churches grappling with the fall-out from false teaching and ungodly behavior. These letters were written to bring assurance and certainty to Christians – the assurance that the Christian faith is absolutely true and Jesus is truly the one and only Savior of the world. And the assurance that we can have a new and eternal life in Jesus Christ!

1,2, & 3 John – Love/Hate Relationship
Last weekend, Pastor Paul taught from 1 John 2:3-6 that obedience, not results, makes the difference in the Christian life.

1, 2, & 3 John – Breaking Sinful Habits
Say what you want; in fact, say anything you want. If your behavior in life doesn’t back up what you say, you’ve got a problem. Jesus puts it this way, “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only HE WHO DOES THE WILL OF MY FATHER WHO […]
