On Being Christian in the World - Mini Series at Glory of Christ Fellowship

ON BEING CHRISTIAN IN THE WORLD
A GCF Mini-Series
By Pastor Charlie
Last week we completed a thirteen-month series in 1-2 Samuel that I pray helped you grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ. And, Lord willing, on January 15 we will begin a several-year series through the Apostle John’s writings, namely, the Gospel of John, 1-3 John, and Revelation. My prayer for this series is that we would be more profoundly rooted in the gospel of grace, and that as a result we would learn to love one another and be on mission in the world.
Tucked in between these two series, the elders have decided to bring seven messages on hot topics that are facing Christians today that together we’re calling, On Being Christian in the World. Our plan is to bring the following messages in the coming weeks:
q  “Our Citizenship is in Heaven” – Philippians 3:12-4:1
q  “The Witness of Singleness and Marriage: How the Church is Greater than Both” – Revelation 21:9-11
q  “The Witness of Little Children: Building the Church of Generation Z and Generation Alpha” – Psalm 78:1-8
q  “The Witness of Truth” – Matthew 28:18-20
q  “The Witness of Love” – John 13:31-35
q  “The Witness of Justice” – Micah 6:6-8
q  “The Witness of Global Missions” – Revelation 7:9-17
This is our plan, and our passion is that as a people we would grow in knowledge and perspective, grow in love for one another, and grow in the desire to bring the gospel to the world.
Throughout this mini-series, your bulletins will contain a blank half-sheet for sermon notes with several important questions on the back. Please make use of this simple tool, for the more deliberate we are about reflection and application, the more helpful we’ll be to one another in the coming weeks.
May the Lord use his Word, by his Spirit, to equip us for his work in the world!

Deacons - How They Serve and Strengthen the Church (Part 1)

By
  One of the next important priorities for GCF is to establish deacons in the life of the church. On March 14, 2021 we were able to establish an elder team. Currently, we have a team of four elders overseeing the congregation of GCF.  However, there is more work to be done. I have come to see that establishing an elder team was the bare minimum that needed to happen for GCF to survive. I believe GCF now needs to turn our attention to raising up a team of qualified and willing deacons to serve the congregation so that it will not only survive but thrive.   I would like to begin a series of blogs on deacons to help us understand who they are and what they do in the life of the church.  In this blog let me provide three reasons why I think deacons should be near our top priority.  Number 1: It is Biblical. Paul instructs Timothy to install elders who will help him pastor the church. For whatever reason, it seems the churches in our circles treat the installmen...

We post these worship songs leading up to the worship service so that parents may listen to them in the house or in the car within the days leading up to the worship service. Our hope is that children will hear the songs prior to and it will prepare them to participate in worship on Sunday mornings. My Redeemers Love Hope Has Come I Will Glory In My Redeemer Blessed Be Your Name Here In Your Presence Your Glory Be Still My Soul (In You I Rest) -- Sermon Text: John 11:1-16 That the next generation will set their hope in God and not forget the works of God (Psalm 78:7).

God Displays His Beauty While Lifting Heavy Burdens by Pastor Kevin

By
I know I am a little bit overweight. My doctor tells me so. The mirror that I look into affirms it and the scale (that I mostly avoid) reminds me every time I step on it. All of that makes what I am about to say so much more impressive. I had the privilege of sitting on the beaches of Florida's Atlantic coast for 8 days on our most recent family trip. For me there is something magical about the beach, especially on the Atlantic side with the waves washing up against the shoreline. We have been lucky enough to find a sleepy beach town to vacation at. A nook, if you will, that typically features retired folks or families with kids. Out of the way of those who want to party, the beach is truly a relaxing place for me.  Let me tell you something that I gleaned this time around that never quite landed on me. This last week it landed on me, almost literally. My son Ben and I are the more adventurous specimens in the Feder five. We actually get into the salty water where there are jelly f...
