SAVED! That’s the new sermon series that launches this weekend at GCC. We’re going to dig into God’s Word and learn about the miraculous gift of salvation that we received when we confess Jesus as Lord of our lives. Think of these sermons as a “deep down in the heart” look at how Jesus forgives our sin and changes our lives. We begin this weekend as we answer the question “How do you become a Christian” with a study of Romans 10:8-17. It’s a bit of a backward journey to the powerful truth that “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Can God Forgive My Sins?
The story of the paralyzed man lowered through a roof reveals a profound truth about God’s desire to forgive. When Jesus first said ‘Your sins are forgiven’ instead of immediately healing the man’s paralysis, He demonstrated that spiritual healing is our deepest need. The religious leaders questioned Jesus’ authority to forgive sins, but He proved […]

How Does God View You?
When you become a Christian, you receive a new family identity that transcends your earthly genealogy. Through salvation, God legally adopts you into His family, giving you a perfect Father and an eternal inheritance. This adoption means you have complete access to God and are no longer defined by your earthly family’s dysfunction or achievements. […]

What Does The Bible Say About Heaven?

Paul describes our earthly experience as camping in temporary tents while longing for our heavenly dwelling. This perspective helps us understand why we feel unsettled in this world and why suffering often shapes us more than comfort. […]
