Even before his atoning death, Jesus was already proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom of God finally inaugurated through him. Jesus sends his disciples into the world with authority to heal, serve, and proclaim the good news. As disciples of Christ, we have received that same power and commissioning through Christ’s Holy Spirit. The same Spirit who raised him from the dead lives in and works through us! What is God doing on behalf of the poor, needy, and oppressed in your neighborhood or city? What gifts, passions, and resources has God given you to proclaim and demonstrate the good news of his kingdom where you live?

As we prepare for the Denominational Celebration 2026, we look forward to worshipping together, growing together, and celebrating what God is doing across GCI. Greg Williams invites us to join in prayer as we prepare for this special time together.

Dear Church family,

We have been treated with great hospitality and blessed by Pineda Presbyterians’ pastors and Session for almost 30 years now, and next month we have an opportunity to share a time of celebration and worship with fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. We have been invited to celebrate the refurbishment of the Fellowship Hall and to join them for a combined service of hymn singing, scripture, food, fellowship, and short messages by both pastors on July 12th. To accommodate both congregations a service time has been tentatively set for t 1:00 pm that afternoon. (We usually meet at 1:30 on the 2nd Sunday of the month.) More details coming in the next two weeks!



Today in worship we will explore part II of being a good listener even to the difficult task of listening to our enemies.

It is very humbling to remember that Jesus came to call sinners to himself — not people who think they are good enough on their own merit. If Jesus has called us to follow him, that means we are sick and need to be healed. In what ways has Jesus healed you and is continuing to heal you? Which seasons of your life have shown God’s mercy to be evident? Write down your redemption story. Ask God for the courage to share your story. Pray that it will guide others to the Great Physician and Healer of our souls.

Our salvation is graciously given by the Three-in-One God revealed to us throughout the entire story of Scripture. As followers of Jesus Christ, we have entrusted our lives to him. In doing so we received his very Spirit, who testifies with our spirit that we are indeed God’s children in Christ. How do our lives show others the family resemblance between us and our heavenly Father? At the start of Ordinary Time, take some time to reflect. Simply sit, reflect, and receive the amazing love of the Father, grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and presence of the Holy Spirit. Ask our triune God to lead you to people who also need to witness God’s amazing love for them.

Dear Church Family,

Just a reminder to all that we will not be holding services tomorrow due to Fellowship Hall improvements taking place. We will gather again next Sunday, June 7th in a room off their Sanctuary at 2:30 pm time for a Bible Study together.

Your Pastor and brother,

Steve Schantz

To be a Christian is to bear Christ’s name — to have the Spirit of the living God rest on us and live within us. To have the Holy Spirit is to be set apart for a sacred purpose, set apart from the ways of the world. Take heart. Our Christian walk on the narrow road to eternal life may be painful at times. But the One who lives in you is greater and more powerful than anything that may happen to you. Set aside time to be still and then prayer walk in your neighborhood or even near where you work. Ask Holy Spirit for wisdom and strength to embody Christ in these places.

New Audio Sermon by Pastor Steve Schantz posted below

Dear Church Family,

When we read what the Apostle Paul teaches the church at Philippi about complaining, we are confronted with the powerful default common to our times in the American culture. (As well as our human nature.) While we read of prophets and Kings crying out to God with their needs and the needs of His people in lament, there is a vast difference between the prayers they offered up and living a lifestyle which fosters complaint as a right and privilege.

Jesus promised his followers that they would not be left alone like orphans. No, he and the Father would give the Holy Spirit to guide them into all truth. Trust that as an apprentice of Jesus, the Spirit of truth lives in you also. Trust that he will make known to you the beautiful truth that comes from the Father. Ask Holy Spirit to help you carve out even a small portion of time for silence and solitude this week. Use this time to listen for the Father’s voice. Draw strength from his presence. Ask him to correct any lies or misconceptions you might have about God or his character.
