Jesus tells us the greatest commandment is to love God and love people. Then we go into all the world and make disciples showing them that love. For 20 of us at GCBC we had the chance to spend 10 days in the Dominican Republic showing God's love to brothers and sisters in Christ and helping make disciples. Today we get to here their stories!

There is a present reality of the kingdom of God and a future reality. The present reality of God’s kingdom is “in” the Christian. It is a spiritual reality. And God’s kingdom in you is of more value than everything you own. It is a treasure, a pearl. We are to seek it and daily ask God bring it to earth as it is in heaven.

In this sermon Tony returns to Luke and goes to ch.17 where the scene is Jesus healing 10 men with leprosy. A mass healing! But only one of them comes to Jesus to thank Him. It’s all about gratitude.

The Gospel is not only what saves us, it is what continues to transform us in our lives. Our longtime friend, pastor, and guest speaker, Branden Brown, shares this message with us. 

There is a mysterious, rare, secret state of the heart that we all long for - contentment. The apostle Paul learned the secret that no matter what circumstance he found himself in, he was content. In this sermon we discover what true contentment is, and what those are like who are a part of this secret society. 

Christians should be the happiest people on earth. In this sermon, Jonathan walks us through Philippians 3 to see just what happened to the apostle Paul and how we can join him in "rejoicing in the Lord."

Philippians 2 gives us a vision of Christ emptied, humbled, crucified and exalted and we are to walk in these same ways. In this sermon, we look to Christ’s example and motivation for a life of humiliation. 

The letter to the Philippians brings us into the vast joy that is found in Jesus Christ. In this first sermon in Philippians we look at Paul’s understanding and definition of life and death. 

In this sermon Tony shows the type of faith that the disciples were asking for after Jesus’ teaching on forgiving others.

In this sermon Tony focuses on Jesus’ teaching about us forgiving others when they sin against us. We begin to see that forgiving others is hard, unlimited, and boundless. It requires faith.
