GT Church

Pastor Maritza's message calls believers to live in a way that truly reflects Jesus—marked by humility, gentleness, patience, and unified love—so that Christ’s sacrifice is honored and the watching world can see that He is real.

Pastor Eric's message encourages believers to move from merely learning to actively living out their faith by representing Jesus well—through humility, gentleness, patience, love, gratitude, and unity—so that their everyday lives reflect the cost of His sacrifice and represent Jesus to the world.

Pastor Scott’s message based on the beginning of Ephesians 4 shares how our lives in Christ should be a reflection of Him, including traits of humility, gentleness, patience, and unity of the Spirit.

Pastor Scott Nagle joins Andrew for this week's episode, recapping GT Student Ministries' Road Trip—where over 300 teens gathered to seek God, many chose to be baptized, and those baptisms and 60+ grads were celebrated on Student Takeover Sunday. They then take another look at the message from Ephesians 3:20–21, which highlighted that God can do more than we imagine, that His power is already at work in believers, and that the church is strongest when every generation works together and older leaders intentionally raise up younger ones.

Pastor Scott Nagle shares a message on Student Takeover Day based on Ephesians 3:20-21 about God's power and what He can do in our lives.

In this midweek episode Pastors Scott and Eric join Andrew to discuss Pentecost, sharing the ongoing importance of the Holy Spirit as the believer’s “advantage” for conviction, guidance, power, and boldness, including the Pentecostal belief in a subsequent baptism in the Spirit evidenced by speaking in tongues. It also addresses Christian identity—warning against worldly labels, urging parents to actively disciple their children, and stressing that true identity and security come from Scripture and being rooted in God’s love.

Pastor Maritza shares how Pentecost is the day God sent the Holy Spirit to live in and empower believers, beginning the church, and also that the Spirit’s gifts and power are still for today. Using Ephesians 3, she encourages us to root our identity in God’s love, be continually filled with the Spirit’s power, and move from an “empty” or half-full spiritual life to the full, surrendered life Christ offers.

Pastor Eric explains in his message that Pentecost means believers now have a unique “advantage” through the Holy Spirit—God’s personal presence, love, and power living in them to strengthen, guide, and send them to make disciples. He encourages us to root our identity in being God’s children (not in past labels), stay grounded in Scripture and God’s love, and respond by coming to Christ or seeking a fresh filling of the Holy Spirit.

Pastor Scott explains Pentecost as the historic Jewish feast celebrating the giving of the law and, for Christians, the day God poured out the Holy Spirit to personally indwell and empower believers, marking the birth of the church. Preaching from Ephesians 3, he teaches that our identity is received from the Father, our lives must be rooted in God’s unconditional love, and our strength comes from the Spirit within.

Dr. Denny Nissley tells how Jesus dramatically saved him from addiction, violence, and a crippling leg injury, transforming him into a new creation rather than just modifying his behavior. He then challenges believers to live out their faith outside the church by engaging in crises and needs, including through specialized faith-based first responder training to help people in trauma and point them to Christ.
