Here's your Sunday Sermon!

Psalm 149 calls for praise of God’s victory and deliverance, transitioning from joyous celebration to a call for vengeance against nations and peoples. This shift highlights the tension between praising God and the world’s opposition to such praise. To praise God is to reject the world’s values and face its resistance, but this is a necessary and worthwhile endeavor.

Pastor Whit's sermon uses the metaphor of a victory parade to illustrate the dual nature of God’s presence from Corinthians. For believers, God’s victory brings joy and celebration, but for those who reject Him, it brings judgment and sorrow. His sermon emphasizes the importance of genuine faith and bearing good fruit, urging believers to embrace their role in God’s victory and to celebrate His sacrifice. Listen in...

❤️ "I felt my heart strangely warmed."

John Wesley spent years striving to earn God's favor. He prayed, fasted, served others, and pursued holiness with remarkable discipline. Yet he still lacked the assurance that comes through faith in Christ.

Everything changed on Aldersgate Street.

This week's lesson of Methodist Roots explores the conversions of John and Charles Wesley and reminds us that salvation is received through grace—not earned through our own efforts.

Have you experienced the peace that comes from trusting Christ alone? 🕊️

Here's your Sunday Sermon!

We finished our Amos series, covering chapters 8 and 9. Amos warns the people of Israel about their empty worship and misplaced trust, leading them to reject God. Despite repeated warnings and visions, they refuse to change, prompting God’s ultimate judgment, a famine of His word, causing them to wander and suffer. This serves as a cautionary word about the consequences of prioritizing creation over the Creator. God desires a genuine relationship with His people. Despite Israel’s wickedness, God remains faithful to His covenant and promises to restore a remnant of His people. The good news is that God will bless and restore those who turn to Him, fulfilling His promises and bringing abundant blessings. Listen in...

🙏 Join us in praying for Nepal in the aftermath of flash flooding that led to devastating mudslides. We received word from our churches in the area–several churches have been damaged, and members or pastors are missing or tragically died. For Timure Church in Rasuwa, only the pastor survived.

The GMC disaster response team is actively working with churches in this area. Pray for the churches, families, missing people and the affected communities.

To our brothers and sisters in Nepal–we care about you and are praying for you.

Here's your Sunday Sermon!

Pastor Whit continued our series in Amos, focuses on chapters 6 and 7. He highlighted the dangers of complacency and false security. The people of Israel, trusting in their wealth and military might, ignore the prophet Amos’ warnings of impending judgment. Amos, sent by God, uses visions of locusts, fire, and a plumb line to illustrate the coming destruction and the need for the people to align their lives with God’s standard. Listen in...
