If you want to grow as a follower of Jesus Christ, you need to make certain practices a priority in your life. You need to put FIRST THINGS FIRST, and the very first of those practices is the study of God’s Word.
The first value of Grace Community Church is Biblical, life changing truth in preaching, teaching and worship. We are a Bible believing, Bible teaching, Bible preaching church. We don’t worship the Bible; we worship the one true and living God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit. But we do believe the Bible is God’s Word from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21. God’s Word is essential to our daily lives; it gives us abundant life. That’s what Jesus teaches us in Matthew 4:4 when, tempted by the devil to satisfy his hunger by turning stones into bread, Jesus answered the devil by quoting Deuteronomy 8:3 – “It is written: Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.” Just as we need a daily diet of good foods to be physically healthy, we need a daily diet of God’s good Word to be spiritually, emotionally, and relationally healthy. Simply put, THIS BOOK has the power to change you!
We wrap up a six-part series called First Things First this weekend. Over the past five weekends, we have said GCC holds to preaching God's authoritative, inerrant, and infallible Word. That prayer is an essential part of the life and ministry of GCC. We hold to celebratory worship, reaching the next generation, and grace in our relationships. GCC is not called “Judgment Community Church!” It is called ‘Grace Community Church,” and for good reason.
Join us this weekend as we conclude our series by giving a biblical perspective on compassion. According to Matthew 20:29-34 and many other passages, compassion is not passive but is our love in action, which is why GCC is committed to demonstrating compassion for hurting people in a broken world.
