We looked at Matthew 8, a true whirlwind of miracles and healings during Jesus’s ministry on earth. Jesus healed the sick, calmed a violent storm, and cast out demons from men possessed by darkness. As Yi Khen preached on the passage, we saw that Jesus’s miracles provoke a response from us. If he held […]

Kyle, one of our covenant partners, preached on Matthew 2:13-4:25 today, considering the passage from 3 perspectives that fit within the greater story of the Bible – the historical, biblical and theological perspective. Matthew intentionally ordered these stories to show us this theological truth – Jesus is fulfilling Israel’s story. Everything God has called Israel

Blessed Christmas! Christ is born! At our Christmas service today, elder Chris talked about how hope often gets associated with our dreams and our desires. How does the story of a baby born in a barn relate to hope? This Christmas hope is not a hope that is a simple wish/desire. It’s a biblical hope.
The King has come! We celebrated the birth narrative of Jesus today, aptly, one week before Christmas, with much adoration for the one true King who has come for all peoples and nations. As Yi Khen, one of our covenant partners at GCC preached through Mat 1:18-2:12, we saw how Matthew imbues the story of
Chris Abner, one of our Elders at GCC preached through Mat 1:1-17 in a message titled “What’s In A Name?” Matthew begins with a recap à la “Previously, in the Old Testament…”, by giving us readers a long list of names — a genealogy. But why? What do these names teach us about who Jesus

The passage of Scripture we heard from today is Malachi 2:17-3:12. We looked at how the fact that God doesn’t change provides God’s people with a hope that assures, and fuels our desire to obey. As much as it is a source of comfort, it is also a source of warning because His judgment is

Nick Gonyea, one of our covenant partners at GCC preached on Malachi 2:10-16. We learned that the problem with unfaithfulness is when we go against God’s design of a covenant community where relationships are built for trust, honesty, peace, loyalty, support, care, and love for one another, but instead deal with each other treacherously in

Kyle Essary, one of our covenant partners at GCC preached through Malachi 1:1-2:9. We learned about how God rebuked the Israelites for their false worship, and how they continued to question God’s love for them despite His steadfast commitment to them all along.

“Does the Big Mac come from Village Park”? This morning, elder Andy posed this obvious question to drive home the basic idea that good trees make good fruit and bad trees make bad fruit. We looked at the final part of the Sermon on the Mount from Matthew 7:13-29, where we see that the sign
