Years ago when reading the Old Testament I would get a little discouraged with all the law requirements—how in the world could people remember all that stuff let alone obey it?! Some of you are thinking, “Are you serious, Pastor Rob? Who can’t remember 10 simple commandments?” Firstly, there weren’t just ’10 simple commandments’ there […]
READ MOREWe all (At GCC) have an exciting upcoming weekend for our church and community! Not only are we anticipating lost people coming to faith in Jesus as the gospel is presented, but also the chance to meet many of the new folks at our first ever Newcomers’ Lunch. Oh…and there’s also the rumor I heard […]
READ MOREStarted a brand new series today—one of my favorite books of the Bible—Nehemiah. The Bible is the greatest book ever written, period. Why? Because, though penned by human authors, it is actually God breathed. In other words, God wrote it. Within this one book are actually 66 smaller books—each with eternal truths that even a […]
READ MOREI’m still celebrating our new brothers and sisters in Christ who bent the knee to the Savior this past Easter at GCC! That, my friends, never gets old! And I wish I could say that heaven starts now for the new believer, but I would be doing a disservice at best. Though you have been […]
READ MOREI was listening to one of my favorite preachers the other day when he uncharacteristically went off on a rant about another pastor. This “other” pastor’s identity wasn’t very cryptically kept. In fact, you’d have to have been living the last decade under the proverbial rock to not have figured it out in less time […]
READ MORE“I’m done with church, and I’m never going back!” No, this isn’t a conclusion that I have come to—however, it is a conclusion that tens of thousand are coming to every weekend all across America. And more and more are asking themselves the once unimaginable… Do we really need the Church (Big C) anymore? I […]
READ MOREYesterday (New Years Day) my son and I decided to have a “guy’s night” and go see “Unbroken.” I had given him the book a couple years ago and it had a profound impact on him. Naturally, we couldn’t wait to see the movie. The movie was awesome—I highly recommend it! There are powerful lessons […]
READ MORE– Last week the Singleton’s got to rest and reflect—church at home—attendance = 4. I cherish these times—they are too few and far between! Our devotional time came from Psalm 22. An incredibly indicting Psalm if I do say so myself! Take a look at what David wrote in just the first few verses: “My […]
READ MOREChurches we have. By last count, (2010 to be exact) there are about 350,000 churches in America. About 314,000 of those are protestant. 24,000 are Catholic and the rest are non-Christian in nature. Wow! That’s a lot of churches! And I’ve planted several myself. Yet here I am venturing out one more time against all […]
READ MOREBeginning next week we will embark upon one of the most exciting series EVER! In fact, thousands of churches all across the world will be encouraging their people to invite the lost to a “viewing party” and then to church to hear more about what they’ve seen about, “The Bible,” a brand new series […]
