The cross is the most enduring symbol of Christianity. Peter, one of Jesus’ most devoted followers, wrote that Jesus himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, “so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed” (1 Peter 2:24). The cross of Jesus Christ is that pivotal point in history, the center of time and eternity, when unconditional love met indescribable suffering, which opened the way for the salvation of all mankind. “By his wounds you have been healed.” What are those wounds? Join us this weekend as we begin to look closely at the events ..read more

This weekend, we’ll meet up with one of Jesus’ best known followers. His name is Peter and we will meet him in one of the most painfully real, yet powerfully life-changing experiences of his life. It’s an experience you may have had, or may yet have, as you follow Jesus. It’s an experience that someone you know and love is having even now. When you discover how Jesus ultimately responded to Peter in this painful experience, you can’t help but say, “What a Savior!” Without a doubt, Jesus’ unconditional love and grace is on display in Peter’s life. It is the same love and grace that Jesus has fo ..read more

His is a tragic story, and the lessons from his life are sobering. His betrayal of Jesus in the 24 hours leading up to the cross was not an isolated incident. It followed in a long line of sinful choices made by Judas that gave the devil full access to his life. It is indeed a dark tragedy, yet through the darkness, the light of Christ shines brightly. We see the light of Jesus’ unconditional love and grace. To fully appreciate this light, you need to fully experience the darkness of Judas’ betrayal. Join your GCC family this weekend as we unpack the story of Judas Iscariot beginning with John ..read more

This weekend we begin a series of messages that focus on the 24 hours leading up to Jesus’ death on the cross. We will follow Him to the cross and, as we do, we will learn the true meaning of UNCONDITIONAL. Unconditional care. Unconditional compassion. Unconditional service. Unconditional giving. Unconditional kindness. Unconditional forgiveness. Unconditional obedience. Unconditional surrender. UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. Join your GCC family this weekend as we look at what Jesus meant when, in John 13:1-17, he called on his followers to wash one another’s feet. You may be surprised by the powerful t ..read more

When we look at people, we see them as they are right now and possibly remembering who they were in the past. But do we see who they can become by choosing to follow Jesus? Do we have vision for lives changed by Christ? Join your GCC family this weekend as we dig into John 4 and notice that Jesus had a different vision than his followers, and he took action to correct their vision. Open your eyes to the people around you who need Jesus ..read more

Early 20th century devotional writer J. Oswald Sanders wisely noted, “There is always one fact more in every life of which we know nothing, therefore Jesus says, "Judge not." Yet that is precisely what we too often do. Too often, we judge men and women without having all the facts. We assume we know it all when, in truth, our judgments show how very little we know and how very little we care. It is one of the many reasons that God tells us to keep a tight rein on our tongues! Since the first weekend of 2024, we have been putting FIRST THINGS FIRST as we’ve studied Scripture together. This week ..read more

We can and should invest in the present and future of the church ..read more

If you want to grow as a follower of Jesus Christ, you need to make certain practices a priority in your life.

The Christmas story often captures our imagination because it is when the majestic and mundane collide. This weekend, we continue our sermon series, The Journey, as we journey with shepherds. Ordinary, average, and at best mundane, in Luke 2, we find shepherds not in a palace but “living out” in a pasture. Then, out of nowhere, the majestic and the mundane collide. First, an angel appears, then a host of angels, and then the shepherd encounters Jesus Himself. On three occasions, the shepherds collide with majesty. And, yet, they don’t keep what they have experienced to themselves. They tell ot ..read more
