This week pastor Andrew talks about something we all could use more of in life and that is patience. It is also what the bible says love is so it is important to understand this if we want to be a loving people.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7

4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

This week Pastor Andrew talks about a vow that Jacob made about giving a tenth to God. Listen and learn more about this concept.

Genesis 28:20-22

 20 Then Jacob made a vow, saying, “If God will be with me, and keep me in this way that I am going, and give me bread to eat and clothing to put on, 21 so that I come back to my father’s house in peace, then the Lord shall be my God. 22 And this stone which I have set as a pillar shall be God’s house, and of all that You give me I will surely give a tenth to You.”

Song of Solomon 2:10 My beloved spoke, and said to me:

This week Brother Chris Charette  spoke on Ephesians chapter 4 where Paul talks about  One Body, One Spirit, One hope, One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism, and One God and Father. God is the god of oneness and his goal for us is to be one with Him. Listen and learn more about this important topic.

Eph 4:1-6 (NIV)

As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

And He shall stand at last on the earth;

And my eyes shall behold, and not another.

How my heart yearns within me!

Brother Steve Nedde joined GLBC to speak while pastor Andrew was away. He spoke on what Jesus spoke to the church of Laodicia and how we want to buy our gold from Jesus and not get the fake gold of the world. Listen and learn what this means.

Rev 3:14-22

And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

This week Pastor Andrew talked about something we have all had to develop over the past year or two - Endurance! Fortunately God is in the business of walking beside us and even carrying us when we start to weaken. Listen and learn how to improve your endurance and rely more on our Father God.

Proverbs 24:10

If you faint in the day of adversity, Your strength is small.

Jesus said "In the world you will have tribulation, take courage, I've overcome the world" (John 16:33) We know that change always brings about concern and tribulation but as Pastor Andrew will teach this week, God provides stability even in change.

Psalm 46:1-2 

  God is our refuge and strength,

A very present help in trouble.

2 Therefore we will not fear,

Even though the earth be removed,

And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
