During Jesus' time on earth, he walked alongside everyday people, feeling what they felt. Nowhere is this more evident than in the death of his friend Lazarus. Jesus felt and witnessed the pain of loss, but knew that it would ultimately lead to something bigger- God's glory being revealed in our lives.

If you limit God to being in a box, you will ultimately miss God.

That's the lesson we learn from Jesus' interaction with the Pharisees in John 9.

Jesus challenged their beliefs on when and how God works, and revealed that God is more than the box we try to put Him in.

John 6 tells the story of another miracle - the feeding of the 5,000.

Jesus provided food for thousands of followers, but many of them missed the point of his actions.

They wanted to get something out of their connection with Jesus, rather than recognize him for who He is - the Son of God.

Does your version of religion or politics get in the way of loving people that God loves?

In John 5, we see a group of people who were blinded to the love of God by their own rules.

But if we are to be like Jesus today, we need to learn what it means to love people the way he did.

In John 4, we read about a government official who came to Jesus seeking help for his sick son.

But when he asks for Jesus to go with him, Jesus says his son will be okay, and the man leaves, believing Jesus' words.

God calls us to live by that same sort of faith- that no matter what we face, we can believe in his Word!

John begins his telling of Jesus' life with a miracle - Jesus turning water into wine.

However, looking at Jesus' life, this miracle seems small and insignificant.

So why was it important that John starts his gospel with this story? And how does it help us to grow in our belief?

When we talk about spending our lives following God, one HUGE question people have is always: is it worth it?

Is it worth living our lives for God? Is it worth letting God's Word define our beliefs? Is it worth the things we give up?

This week, we talk all about why the calling to follow God is worth giving Him every moment of our lives.

Who is God? That's the first burning questions we take a look at in this series.

Is God just an old man in the sky, refereeing our lives, and telling us when we do wrong?

Or is he something much greater than that?

This week's message is a conversation between Adam and guest speaker Mike Napier about indispensABLE Church -

a church plant project that GCC will be partnering with later this year to reach the disabled community.

If you'd like to know more about the future of this great ministry, listen here!

The Bible describes the church as a body, with each part playing an important and intentional role.

Sometimes we need to be reminded of how to take care of that body, and our roles in the church.

If everyone matters to the church, and everyone has a place, how do we care for each other?
