From Pastor Randy's Desk:

Happy Father's Day to all the dads (and grandads) of GBC! I am truly blessed to be the pastor of a church that has wonderful, dedicated fathers. Your families are blessed to have you leading them. Your provision, protection, and watchcare over them is a testament to your walk and faith in the Lord. Let me encourage you to keep doing what you are doing. Rely on God's Word and strength as you lead and guide your family. Continue to display a Christ-like attitude. And, as the Bible says, "Raise your children up in the admonition of the Lord!»
May God truly bless you today in your role as "father." In return, may you continue to praise, honor, and worship your Heavenly Father ... especially in front of your children.

From Pastor Randy's Desk:

We have had a very trying past two weeks here at GBC. As you know, Kevin Holden was called into God's eternal presence on June 1, Please continue to pray for his wife, Kathy and their family.
And please continue to pray for our church as we navigate through this difficult time.
Spiritual warfare is real. I believe it will only get worse. As the Rapture of the Church and Jesus' Second Coming grow closer and closer, Satan is doing all that he can to cause havoc in the lives of God's people. Satan knows his days are coming to an end. And he is determined to "go down fighting." But we have the power of the Cross, and the precious blood of Jesus to combat the lies and temptations of Satan. We have victory over temptation! We have victory over sin! We have victory over Satan! Our victory is found in our Messiah, our Redeemer, our Savior, Jesus Christ!

From Pastor Randy's Desk:

This weekend... the Memorial Day Holiday ... We once again remember all the men and women soldiers in our Armed Services who lost their lives fighting for our country and for the freedoms we enjoy.

Two of those are our very own: SSgt Ronald Richerson and Seaman Jeff Brown.

We should also remember that since Jesus died, resurrected, and ascended, it is estimated that 70 million Christians have lost their lives for the sake of the Gospel. Yearly, Christians are still being martyred for their faith in Jesus.

Whether you are a "soldier" or a "Christian," you have big shoes to fill. As a Christian, we are part of the greatest family on earth. We follow Christ... the One who has a name above every name. Our lives will either enhance or devalue the reputation of the One we represent. A soldier does not want to just be called a soldier ... he/she wants to Be a soldier. Likewise, a Christian should not just want to be called a Christian, we should want to Be and Act like one!

Many have died for Jesus, will you now live for Him?

From Pastor Randy's Desk:

A couple of months ago, God began dealing with my heart in the area of "global missions." During my life, I have had the blessing of being on almost 25 mission trips (7 countries, 8 states). I have always been a strong proponent of Jesus' "Great Commission" as given in Matthew 28:18-20. However, in recent years that area of my life has been dormant. As a result, GBC has not been actively involved in this area of ministry. I believe God is telling me it's time to get involved again.
Today, we welcome Brother Steve Kendall, a colleague in ministry, and a dear friend. GBC is Steve's home church. He served us well for years. I have been on a few mission trips with Steve and I can testify that he has the gift of evangelism and uses it well.
As Brother Steve speaks to us this morning, please be in much prayer as to whether we (GBC & individuals) could partner and work together in "global missions."
