Philosophy of Ministry, Part 9
Core Value #5, Winsome Community Involvement ...
If the Gospel of GRACE has changed us and the Fruit of the Spirit resides deep within us, Jesus should naturally overflow from us…to ALL people, both inside the Body of Christ, and those whom we do life with, out in our Communities!
Life Together as Jesus Intended ...
1 John 1:1-10
Pastor Scott Bull
Philosophy of Ministry, Part 8
Core Value #4, Loving and Contagious Fellowship….
Paul’s Passion (… and Mine)
I Corinthians 2:1-5
Rev. Jim Bland
The Apostle Paul’s passion for living for the Lord Jesus Christ, and his commitment for serving Him was,
1) to exalt Jesus and His Cross,
2) to be an example to others by how he lived, and
3) to keep the faith and to finish well.
What does your passion for living as a Christian look like?
The four questions near the end:
- What impassions you about your faith?
- What motivates you to keep on "Keeping On," when your faith is weak?
- What role does God's Grace play in your walk of faith?
- What legacy of faith do you want to leave to your loved ones?

GCCB Mission Statement. Philosophy of Ministry Part 4. 6/27/2021
Scott Bull
Acts 1:6-11

Philosophy of Ministry, Part 3, continuing to dig into our Vision Statement.
Scott Bull
Vision Component #3: “A People who are Convinced to Live on Mission, for the sake of the Gospel…”
Matthew 28:16-20
“What do You Live For?”
We are all persuaded and committed to living for Something or Someone greater than ourselves. It is almost natural for us to embrace “Good” things, but the question we must face is whether or not that which we give our lives to is ultimately pleasing to the LORD ... and will produce eternal fruit, fruit that will last long after we are gone. Come journey with us as we continue to dive into what our Church dreams of becoming!
GCCB Vision Component #2
Jim Bland
Hebrews 4:1-11
We take a look at the 2nd component of our Vision Statement, focusing on our NEED to "REST in Grace." The Work has been finished on our behalf and there is nothing we can do to separate ourselves from God's Love. Our days of attempting to earn favor with God should be OVER! We also look at three more Plus ONE questions.
Scott Bull
John 1:14-18
This Sunday we will begin a NEW Sermon Series as we take a deeper look at Grace Community Church's Philosophy of Ministry. Specifically, this Sunday we will dig into our desire to be "Captivated with the Glory of God..." In addition to often stealing God's Glory (intentionally and unintentionally), we so quickly turn to alternative means to elevate and glorify ... as we search for temporary meaning in this life.
Digging into the Foundations and Direction of our Church Plant, plus a TIE-IN our "Plus 1 Campaign" with each component of our Vision, Mission, and Core Values!!!
Scott Bull
Jonah 4:5-11
The conclusion of our 12-week study in the book of Jonah looks at God’s continued “Un-Relenting Grace” for both Jonah and the Worst of the Worst. Jonah, the Prophet, continues his posture of digging in and pitiful self-Loathing.
Rev. Neil Gilmour Jonah 3: 1-10
Nineveh was one of the 4 largest cities in the world of its day. It belonged to an empire that was the world ruler of its generation. Greatness - power - affluence - religiosity. Yet like the rest of us they epitomized Genesis 6: 5.
1 Samuel 16:1, 6-13
Rev. Jim Bland talked about the grace of God in the life of King David. He was known as a man with a heart for God. It is remarkable how closely our lives tend to parallel that of David. We see this in the choosing of David by God, his empowerment for service, as well as David’s brokenness, repentance and restoration. Remembering God’s gracious dealing with David should motivate us to be obedient men and women, after God’s own heart.
Jonah 2:8-10
After living in the belly of the large fish for three days, in a hopeless situation, God intervenes a second time and Jonah experiences firsthand the cry of his heart. This salvation was given to Jonah and is available to us as well.
Jim Bland preaches from Jonah 2:1-9
Four thoughts on what it will take for Jonah … and for each of us!
-
Jonah’s Plight
-
Jonah’s Relationship with God Confirmed
-
Jonah’s Rescue
-
Jonah’s Response
Jonah 1:17
Jonah’s running from God has come to an end and resulted in an unlikely place of Refuge, a three-day Shelter, marinating inside the stomach gastric juices of a large fish. And the comforting truth of this story is that God had Jonah exactly right where He wanted him. It was God’s Grace that brought this fish to swallow Jonah as he sank down deep into the waters; It was God’s Grace and merciful fatherly love that brought this respite of discipline. Come journey with us as we take a look at God’s use of Correction for Jonah and for us…simply because He is passionately in love with us!
Jonah 1:11-16
In God’s Sovereignty, His plans will come to fruition, so sometimes the amount of discomfort and pain you go through is up to you! You can increase your pain by seeing yourself as the atoning sacrifice or you can REST in the Perfect Lamb, who has already been sacrificed on your behalf. Come journey with us as we continue to look at the story of Jonah and God’s Un-Relenting Grace!
We consider Paul's words on the Resurrection from 1 Corinthians 15:1-11; 19-22.
BELIEVE – Everyone believes in SomeTHING, and if you are fortunate, you may also believe in SomeONE! What we believe in directs our every thought and every move we make … for that which we believe in MOST provides the direction for ALL of Life. Come Journey with us as we look into the Event that Changed ALL of Human History and really does have the power to change … even us!
Jonah is faced with an amazing catch-22 of his own duplicity. Will he own up to his true identity, in repentance, and turn back to the true Living God, or will he continue to run from his Calling. Come and walk this journey with us as we continue to explore God’s Un-Relenting Grace in the life of an unfaithful prophet.
