GCCWS Weekend Messages

Learning how to pray with confidence will be the focus of our study this weekend as we begin to dig into the final verses of 1 John. 1 John 5:14-1514 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.

Do you know with absolute certainty that when your life on earth is over, you will live forever with Jesus Christ in Heaven?

We discuss overcoming challenges in this broken world by living a triumphant life in Jesus!

Learn about how Jesus is the savior of the WHOLE WORLD and not just our little part of the world.

This powerful reflection on 1 John 4:7-21 shows us how we can love in a way that reflects Christ.

With so many different churches saying seemingly different things, how can we know what is true? Find out with us as we study 1 John 4:1-6. The church of John’s day was facing a threat and it was the threat of false teaching. It is not unlike some of the threats facing the larger church today.

Have you ever had doubts about your relationship with God?

You believe in and trust Jesus Christ, and you are striving to live out your faith in Christ, but doubts still ‘rear their ugly head.’ How do you deal with those doubts?

There is only one answer to those questions, and that answer: TRUST IN GOD.

The path to assurance in times of self-doubt is trust in God.

How that truth works itself out in our life, amidst your doubts, will be the focus of our attention this weekend as we study 1 John 3:19-24.

Actions speak louder than words! That’s the truth, and that’s the truth John drives home in 1 John 3:11-18. This catchy phrase can be, and has been, used to describe all kinds of behavior in life. It underscores the importance of living out what you believe rather than just talking about it. It encourages people to take action and, in our Scripture study this weekend, it encourages us to ACTIVELY LOVE others. How we do that will be the focus of study and God’s challenge to our hearts.

Struggling with life's challenges? Join us as we dive into 1 John and find practical ways to live as God's child, confident and unashamed. Learn how to shift your perspective, embrace your identity in Christ, and hold on to the hope of His return. We are praying that you will be encouraged in your daily walk and leave church with a better understanding of God’s perspective!

Who is the Antichrist? When will he come? What will he look like? Is he alive today? How do I know I will not follow him by mistake?

According to the Apostle John, we are led astray by overthinking answers to questions we are not privileged to know. What matters most is for the believer to remain in Jesus – stay with Jesus – keep their eyes fixed on Jesus. All too often in our world, people are more concerned about the Antichrist than Christ – they want to point out every false teacher coming rather than praise the One who already came.

This weekend, we continue our sermons series through the letters of the Apostle John by looking at 1 John 2:18-27. And, although there are false teachers – antichrists who oppose Jesus, John argues that if we remain in Jesus, we will not need to worry about being carried away from Jesus.
