Dear GPC Faith Family, I am SO EXCITED that people came to Christ last Sunday at our Easter service! It was great seeing the place full too, hu? I want to thank all of you who prayed and invited friends. These are the two keys to our church growing – praying and inviting – let’s [...]
Last Sunday I shared a message about the depth of friendship Jesus showed you when He went to the cross. If you haven’t heard that message, “What a Friend”, I encourage you, on this Good Friday, to listen HERE before this Sunday for two reasons: To deepen your love for Jesus. God’s love is an [...]
I love Easter season - the cheerful, bright colors, the great brunch my wife makes (oh, man, you have no idea), our dynamic church services, and, of course, the excitement of those who come to Christ for the first time! But these are not the things that move me the most. The primary reason I [...]
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!” [...]
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 [...]
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. This comes from the pressure of feeling responsible to manufacture more faith. But that is not how faith comes. It is [...]
What is too big for God? What is going on in your life right now that is stressing you out and that you don’t think will ever change? Or what desire do you have that you don’t think will ever happen? Is it the salvation of a loved one, or a successful career change, or [...]
Fear is a tormentor. It distorts our personalities, causes us to behave irrationally, robs us of opportunities and things we hold dear in this life, and even affects our physical bodies. Nobody wants fear in their life...but we all have some. What are some of your greatest fears right now? How are these fears affecting [...]
Today we are going to look at the third, and final, roadblock to Asking Big! (You can catch Pt. 1 HERE and Pt. 2 HERE). Roadblock #3 – It’s SelfishCertainly, if your sole motivation for asking God for big things is to consume it all on yourself, then that is selfish, and that is not God. James brings this [...]
In our last post we looked at overcoming the first roadblock to asking God for big things – disappointment. You can read that post HERE Today we are going to take on roadblock #2: It’s UNGRATEFUL If you are ungrateful for what God has already done for you and are asking for greater blessings, then that [...]
