There is one thing we all have in common in this life – hard times. Jesus was very clear about this: “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth, you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” John [...]
As many of you know, my wife, Hope, is battling cancer for her third time. Life is hard. And sometimes, very hard. But God is still greater than any trial any of us will ever face. And if you trust Him, and if you understand some things about trials, you will emerge victoriously. That’s why [...]
The following testimony was shared with Pastor John by Mark Nelson. Mike and I walked up to a man in the parking lot today. He was stretching and he was clearly uncomfortable in his body. We asked him how he was doing and got chatting and then asked if he had pain in his knee. [...]
This testimony that starts back in 2015. When my second child was born we were faced with going from 2 incomes to 1 income because the numbers did not make sense to have 2 kids in full-time daycare. When we came to GPC in 2016 and we accepted Jesus into our lives, tithing was a [...]
I love how radical Jesus is. He says that most outlandish things like, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.” Mark 9:23 How many things did He say were possible? ALL things! And in this case it was healing from epilepsy! Another radical, life-changing Scripture is, “According to your faith be it unto you!” [...]
Throughout the Faith series, my dad and I have been setting aside time to pray together for specific things we want to see God do in our lives and the lives of others. One of those things for me has been the Lord’s guidance as I decide on a college for next year and formulate [...]
With my husband getting stationed in North Chicago and me getting out of the military our financial situation had changed and we were still trying to figure out all the finances and money was becoming tight. My husband getting less wages being stationed in North Chicago and me only receiving a disability check which is [...]
There is no easy way to stay spiritually hot. I’m sorry to tell you that, but it’s true. Just like there is no easy way to stay physically fit. You’ve got to put in the time. But here are three things you can do that will absolutely produce the results you are looking for. I [...]
I have been keeping a list of things people have said to me during this faith series that are very common, but Biblically inaccurate, that keep us from experiencing all Jesus paid for us to have. Here are some of them that you may have embraced as well: “My need isn’t as big as some [...]
It's hard to be brief about all that God has done. In October I turned down an opportunity to take another job (within my company) in lieu of a possible promotion to an inside sales role and training of new employees. Shortly after that I was asked to do something completely different that didn't align [...]
One of the most life-changing Scriptures in the entire Bible is, “According to your faith, be in done unto you.” Matthew 9:29 Notice that it didn’t say, “According to your HOPE be it done unto you…” There is a reason for that. Faith and hope are two completely different things. Did you know that? I [...]
Dear GPC Faith Family, The results of our fast are increasing! I literally laid hands on MYSELF for a condition I’ve had for YEARS and commanded it to cease, and it was instantly healed! I have not seen these kinds of results in a very long time! Let’s keep it going! (And if you were [...]
We are in a faith series right now at GPC and we are seeing some amazing stuff happen. LISTEN TO THE OPENING MESSAGE HERE / WATCH HERE But for some, the topic of faith adds stress.
