GT Church

Pastor Scott's message teaches that everyone who is “in Christ” receives rich spiritual benefits: being chosen to be holy and blameless, fully forgiven and redeemed from the bondage of sin, and able to know God’s will because of Jesus’ supremacy and sacrifice. He shares how Christ died for all people—not just a select few—and invites us to put our faith in Jesus and be adopted into God’s family.

In this midweek episode, Andrew is joined by Pastor Eric, Pastor Rodney, and Life Groups Director Tonie to discuss the importance of biblical community and small groups, emphasizing that real discipleship, care, and spiritual growth happen best in smaller circles rather than just Sunday services. The team explains Group Link, the variety of groups available (including support, men’s, women’s, couples, and service-oriented groups), and encourages listeners to take a courageous first step into community for both their own growth and to care for others.

Pastor Eric's message encourages us to make intentional choices that help us grow closer to God instead of settling for spiritual isolation. He emphasizes that life is too heavy to carry alone, urging Us to join small groups for connection and support so our faith can mature.

Pastor Rodney's message challenges us to move from only sitting in Sunday “rows” to also joining relational “circles” in small groups, where real discipleship, mutual support, and spiritual growth happen. He emphasizes that life is too heavy to carry alone, God designed us for community, and every believer has a vital role and gift to contribute in a group.

On the opening day of GT Reading, Pastor Scott's message shares how the church exists to reach lost people with the gospel, to serve the community in the power of the Holy Spirit, and to live on mission for Jesus wherever God has placed us. It also calls us to keep growing as disciples who make disciples and to reflect Christ’s love toward the world.

This midweek episode has Pastor Scott Kramer and Pastor Maritza Huertas joining Andrew to recap Pastor Scott’s Sunday message on Ephesians 1:1–3, emphasizing how believers can discern God’s will by living in holiness, abiding in Christ, and yielding to the Holy Spirit, rather than trying to earn God’s love. They highlight that we are chosen, made holy, and freed from condemnation purely by God’s grace in Christ, and encourage listeners to slow down in Scripture, develop deeper study habits, and enjoy their identity in Christ.

Pastor Scott launches a verse-by-verse study of Ephesians, urging believers to slow down in Scripture to discern God’s will and embrace their identity as God’s holy, faithful people in Christ. He emphasizes that through Jesus we have every spiritual blessing, including unmerited grace, deep inner peace, and free adoption as sons and daughters in God’s family, and invites listeners to respond to that adoption.

This midweek episode unpacks this weekend's “One More Serving” vision message, stressing that every believer is gifted by God not just to consume but to contribute, and that serving is a key way God grows us and blesses others.

Pastor Eric urges every Christian to move “off the bench and into the game” by using their God‑given gifts to serve others in the church and beyond, rather than just consuming spiritual benefits. Drawing on Scripture and personal stories, he shows that serving is God’s will, grows our faith, blesses others, and makes us conduits of God’s love.

Pastor Scott's message emphasizes that every Christian has at least one God-given spiritual gift intended to be actively used to serve others, bless the church, and act as a conduit of God’s grace. Serving is presented not as a way to earn salvation, but as a grateful response to the salvation already given through Jesus Christ, with a strong call to move from merely consuming to also contributing within the body of Christ.
