The windshield is the window on the future - eternity. Nothing of value remains in the past save a few lessons we should not forget, but we must not dwell there - Paul New Year is like driving - the rear view mirror is the past and should be left behind. The windshield is the window on the future - eternity. Nothing of value remains in the past save a few lessons we should not forget, but we must not dwell there - Paul tells us in Philippians 3:12-15 that we should be "Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, pressing on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us". That is what is in the windshield. http://www.gsbc.net/page/Media/67 2011-12-24 noWith Christmas day fast approaching, we are reminded that the story of Christmas starts long before the birth of Christ with 4000 years of Messianic prophecy throughout the old testament, expressing the hope of ancient Israel. This hope had many threads, With Christmas day fast approaching, we are reminded that the story of Christmas starts long before the birth of Christ with 4000 years of Messianic prophecy throughout the old testament, expressing the hope of ancient Israel. This hope had many threads, depending on the times and the prophet. Our Christmas story begins with the Birth of Jesus as prophecied in Bethlehem. The gift that Jesus brought with him is to establish God's presence among us instead of a religion and is summarized in John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." http://www.gsbc.net/page/Media/67 2011-12-17 noWith Christmas fast approaching, we all remember the "Christmas Story" as the beginning for Christianity, but Actually the story starts long before that with Messianic prophecy throughout the old testament, which brings us to our "Christmas Story" -Luke 2With Christmas fast approaching, we all remember the "Christmas Story" as the beginning for Christianity, but Actually the story starts long before that with Messianic prophecy throughout the old testament, which brings us to our "Christmas Story" -Luke 2:8-11; 8 That night there were shepherds staying in the fields nearby, guarding their flocks of sheep. 9 Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord�s glory surrounded them. They were terrified, 10 but the angel reassured them. �Don�t be afraid!� he said. �I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. 11 The Savior�yes, the Messiah, the Lord�has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David!" http://www.gsbc.net/page/Media/67 2011-12-10 noBack in the days of he old west, the sheriff of a town would round up a group of men to go after someone who is disrupting the peace.

This group of men was called the sheriff's posse. In a spritual sense, Jesus had a posse of 12 disciples throughout His ministry and gave them the tools necessary to act in his absence. His teachings, commandments, and most importantly His display of His love for everyone were examples and tools that His disciples could use to continue Jesus' message. "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, He may give it to you."

Then, six months later, the virgin Mary, betrothed to Joseph, was notified by The Angel of the Lord that she would conceive and give birth to a son, and he will be named Jesus. this leads to our "Christmas Story" -That night there were shepherds staying in the fields nearby, guarding their flocks of sheep. Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord�s glory surrounded them. They were terrified, but the angel reassured them. �Don�t be afraid!� he said. �I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. The Savior�yes, the Messiah, the Lord�has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David!" Luke 2:8-11 NLT The Bible entreats us to: "Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn't love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that."

Joseph is one of the most colorful and interesting characters in the Old Testament, and is an inspiring model of someone who trusted God through years of trials and difficulties, and who was richly blessed only after a long period of misfortune. Joseph, a dreamer not a worrier, was thrown down a well and sold into slavery by his brothers and ended up in Egypt. Certainly grounds for worry. After many years Joseph became a trusted confidante to the Pharaoh of Egypt who trusted him for his wisdom. Joseph's faith in God allowed him to be in a position to advise Pharaoh in the affairs of state. http://www.gsbc.net/page/Media/65 2011-10-30 noHave you ever reached a point in your life where you felt broken?

Feeling overwhelmed, or even incomplete in one or more areas of you life? Looking forward it is hard to envision getting our lives back on track and even our best attempts to get back on track result in frustration, disillusionment or failure? In these cases ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. If He brings you to it, He will bring you through it, maybe not the way you might expect but in his own perfect way. http://www.gsbc.net/page/Media/65 2011-10-22 noI Can't Change. Change can be hard.

It usually is a conflict between doing the right thing and hanging onto some stronghold that keeps you in your comfort zone. When Jesus came across a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector�s booth, Matthew saw it as an imperitive to change himself. 'Follow me,' he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him. (Mat 9:9) At that point Matthew took his first steps as a believer. Once a person becomes a believer, They become a new creation and are ready to start growing spiritually. "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths." "Be alert and of sober mind.

It's interesting to think that it even happens at the Church. Sometimes we get caught up in what "feels" important and lose focus on the "main thing" which actually "is" important. When we can keep Jesus as the "main thing" in our lives, following following His will and reaching others for Him, then we keep our perspective in check and "small stuff" fades into the background. Keeping our focus on the "Main Thing" deprives the enemy of his opportunity to divide us. http://www.gsbc.net/page/Media/65 2011-10-07 noWhenever we have an opportunity to "Step Up" and witness to others about our God, we should ways do it.

Choices that lead to SIN and painful consequences and Choices that have lead to LIFE and Godly living. Sometimes we find ourselves in GRAY AREAS when we make decisions because of a PAINFUL PAST or a HURT that needs medicating. Today, we are going to talk about what to do with those hurts and at the end of today we want to commit ourselves �Do not use painful experiences of your past to hinder your future in Christ".

I love the opening of this song where it says, "You're not alone, Together we stand, I'll be by your side, you know I'll take your hand, When it gets cold, And it feels like the end, There's no place to go, You know I won't give in, No I won't give in."

Well we start with ONE BRICK AT A TIME and we will start with a BRICK I think most of us have in our walls our RELATIONAL ISSUES. Today going to discuss THE RELATIONSHIP CHOICE which is about EVALUATING all my relationships, OFFERING forgiveness to those who've hurt me and MAKING RIGHT for harm I've done to others. WHY would we want to do this, you might ask, FIRST because it is Biblical� When I remember how much GOD HAS FORGIVEN ME it makes it a whole lot easier to FORGIVE OTHER'S.

We are on week three of this journey to DEAL WITH THE STUFF in our lives in order to LIVE IN the FREEDOM and for the PURPOSES of God in our lives. Unfortunately there is an OVERWHELMING FRUSTRATION in our lives because we want to do what's right but we end doing what we hate. We get STUCK in STUFF that we don't want to be to be STUCK IN. We get stuck in RELATIONSHIPS, HABITS, ANGER, WORK, ADDICTIONS, HURTS, HANG-UPS; you can fill in the blank! We get frustrated because we can't break what YOU WILL TALK ABOUT MORE IN SMALL GROUPS the CYCLE OF DESPAIR. http://www.gsbc.net/page/Media/51 2010-01-17 noSo let�s JUMP INTO WEEK TWO OF �CHOICES� and let me ask you something, ARE YOU READY, I asked "ARE YOU READY"?

If we are going to HAVE THE HOPE to GROW BEYOND our HURTS, HABITS and HANG-UPS then not only do we need to understand WE�RE NOT GOD but we need to try and wrap our SMALL MINDS around WHO GOD IS and HOW BIG HE IS! Because the THE HOPE CHOICE is all about realizing that GOD HAS THE POWER AND ABILITY, TO HANDLE THE THINGS THAT WE CAN'T HANDLE ON YOUR OWN. I think one of the things that ROBS US from MAKING CHOICE TO LIVE IN HOPE is THE PEEP VIEW OF GOD WE HAVE! Let me explain� The reason we hesitate to TRUST GOD is because we have a LIMITED VIEW OF GOD, and if we don�t spend time DIGGING IN THE WORD our ENEMY DESEVES US into thinking GOD REALLY ISN�T THAT GREAT, He�s not all that POWERFUL, that He�s ACTUALLY VERY SMALL. http://www.gsbc.net/page/Media/51 2010-01-10 noThis morning we are kicking off a BRAND NEW SERIES called 'CHOICES'.

In fact maintaining the status quo can be toxic and can cause us to fall short of what God has planned for us. We learned during the month of December that Jesus' GIFT to us was NEW LIFE and our GIFT to Him is what we do WITH THAT NEW LIFE. Our goal is a church is to see people become fully devoted followers of Christ. In fact, say it with me, our mission at Granite United is to see people become fully devoted followers of Christ. As I have thought and prepared for this, there are a couple of areas that the BIBLE teaches are essential to becoming a fully devoted follower of Christ. These are: 1. CONNECTING with GOD & Others; 2. GROWING in Generosity; 3. SERVING OTHERS 4. SHARING the MESSAGE with Others. So in attempt to stay RESOLUTION FREE in 2010, I found that God wants us to each become more like JESUS. The only way we can become more like Christ, is if we grow in the areas He tells us to grow. It�s going to look different for each of us, but at the same time we are to be working on these areas. http://www.gsbc.net/page/Media/50 2009-12-27 noWe're CLOSING OUT our series SIMPLY CHRISTMAS and we are going to LOOK AT ONE MORE IMPORTANT ELEMENT of the CHRISTMAS STORY.

We have been UNPACKING FROM THE BIBLE all the REAL REASONS we have to CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS, by looking at the ways and titles that DESCRIBE JESUS IN THE SCRIPTURES. We have learned that SIMPLY PUT CHRISTMAS IS A CELEBRATION� Of the LOVE OF GOD, That God not only came to BE WITH US, but that HE IS FOR US, That the world has been given a SAVIOR, Who has come to BRING BACK LIGHT and LIFE to all who believe And the final element we want to CELEBRATE is SIMPLY PUT CHRISTMAS IS A CELEBRATION OF PEACE! The PROPHET ISAIAH described the PROMISED MESSIAH this way� "For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders.

You can try to understand it, wrap your mind around it, and you can spend a lifetime trying to figure it out and you WON�T GET IT, but my suggestion is that we CELEBRATE, and EMBRACE HIS LOVE. We ALSO DISCOVERED that CHRISTMAS was also a CELEBRATION OF GOD COMING to BE WITH US, and more IMPORTANTLY FOR US. CHRISTMAS is the REMINDER that God�s not out to GET US; think about what it took for Jesus TO GET TO US. ! http://www.gsbc.net/page/Media/50 2009-12-13 noWe're in week two of SIMPLY CHRISTMAS and last week we learned SIMPLY PUT CHRISTMAS IS A CELEBRATION OF THE LOVE OF GOD!

Today I want to give you another reason to CELEBRATE, and it�s this SIMPLY PUT CHRISTMAS IS A CELEBRATION OF GOD�S PRESENCE! Let me explain there are MANY NAMES in the Bible that describe God, for instance the name JESUS MEANS �JEHOVAH SAVES�, it�s the name ABOVE every name, it�s the name that literally DIVIDES history, and it is the name which all THE WORLD will one day BOW AND HONOR! There is another name in the Bible that describes Jesus, it�s the name IMMANUEL, which means �God is with us.� http://www.gsbc.net/page/Media/50 2009-12-06 noHow excited is everyone here this morning for Christmas!

I�m sure there are ALL KINDS OF EMOTIONS bouncing around our heads and hearts but there is just something cool about CHRISTMAS! It has less to do with all the PRESSURE OR PRESENT PURCHASING and more to do with the CHRISTMAS CHILD JESUS CHRIST, as to why we can be excited this morning, and this CHRISTMAS season. I love CHRISTMAS because CHRISTMAS is both a SPIRITUAL CELEBRATION and PHYSICAL CELEBRATION and I love CELEBRATIONS! I enjoy the fun traditions of CHRISTMAS like DECORATING the house, putting up THE TREE, sappy CHRISTMAS MUSIC, EGGNOG light, the FOOD, and the CLASSIC CHRISTMAS MOVIES. Unfortunately with all the HUSTLE and BUSTLE of the HOLIDAY somewhere the CHRIST of CHRISTMAS GETS LOST. http://www.gsbc.net/page/Media/49 2009-11-29 noWe are closing this series THE TABLE and I hope we UNDERSTAND better than ever our RESPONSIBILITY to BUILD UP BELIEVERS to SERVE SEEKERS, as we come together each week to serve THE BREAD OF LIFE, JESUS CHRIST!

May we never forget THE FACT that each week we have the chance to ENTERTAIN GUESTS in OUR HOUSE at HIS TABLE. And as we know INVITING GUESTS INTO OUR HOMES brings with it a lot of RESPONSIBILITIES: Cleaning the House, Setting the Table, Hiding the Kids (LOL), Having that little pep talk with the kids, Cooking the Food, etc� But there is ONE MORE THING we all know that is a part of BRINGING GUESTS into our homes to ENTERTAIN and that�s THE EXPENSE. http://www.gsbc.net/page/Media/49 2009-11-22 noThanksgiving is an exciting holiday in our country.

It�s the day of the year that we are supposed to give thanks for the good things we have in our life. The Bible actually commands that we have an attitude of gratitude, look at Philippians 4:6, we are to pray and make requests with great thanksgiving. The CHURCH is the TABLE that serves the BREAD OF LIFE and LIVING WATER. Today we are talking about thanksgiving at the TABLE. Specifically, the goal is that EVERY SINGLE PERSON here will leave with a deep sense of GRATITUDE and THANKFULNESS. We build up people who come to the TABLE, so that they can leave the TABLE nourished and energized, ready to share with OTHERS. We serve EVERY PERSON who comes to the TABLE and serve them the BREAD OF LIFE. Jesus made room at the TABLE, where there was no room before. THERE IS AN OPEN SEAT AT THE TABLE FOR ANYONE AND EVERYONE at JESUS� table. http://www.gsbc.net/page/Media/49 2009-11-15 noJesus answered, "I tell you the truth, you are looking for me, not because you saw miraculous signs but because you ate the loaves of bread and had your fill. Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of MaJesus answered, "I tell you the truth, you are looking for me, not because you saw miraculous signs but because you ate the loaves of bread and had your fill. Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him God the Father has placed his seal of approval. - (John 6:26-27) Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty." - (John 6:35) Jesus� promise is something you can�t find anywhere else. This is why for some people, choosing Jesus as the Bread of Life is a difficult decision. People might think their "bread" is their work, their marriage, what others think of them, etc. In the end, all of those things spoil. Only Jesus gives that bread that satisfies the deepest needs that we have. http://www.gsbc.net/page/Media/49 2009-11-08 noLast week we kicked off this series THE TABLE and we learned that Jesus Christ is THE BREAD OF LIFE.

That Jesus came to GIVE ETERNAL LIFE! We also learned that THE CHURCH IS THE TABLE, the place where PEOPLE COME TO BE SERVED the BREAD OF LIFE and that at every TABLE there are THREE CHAIRS, the chair of the MATURE BELIEVER, the NEW BELIEVER, and those who are FAR FROM GOD. It�s important to remember that every week we have GUESTS and that as MATURE BELIEVERS our desire is to be GOOD HOSTS AND HOSTESSES, in order to bring those FAR FROM GOD into a RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. Like the EIGHT PEOPLE who gave their hearts to Jesus last week! Where does this all begin?

By the end of this series were going to LEARN HOW IMPORTANT THE CHURCH IS TO THE PURPOSES OF GOD in this world. Our study starts in John's Gospel Chapter 6. It�s a long chapter with 70 verses so let me break it down for you. ====== Jesus begins drawing a crowd but not for the reasons you would think. According to verse 2 of the chapter people are following Jesus for what they can get from Him, not for what they can give to Him as God. ====== Then Jesus performs the miracle of the FEEDING of the 5,000 followed by WALKING ON WATER. ====== The next day His teaches the crowd about the difference between the PHYSICAL BREAD they are in consumed with and the SPIRITUAL BREAD they need. Jesus calls us to share His spiritual bread with the multitudes. And because we understand OUR RESPONSIBILITY to bring people to THE TABLE we believe that the BREAD OF LIFE DEMANDS THE ULTIMATE PRESENTATION. And when it comes to THE BREAD OF LIFE we have two objectives BUILD BELIEVERS AND SERVE SEEKERS. http://www.gsbc.net/page/Media/48 2009-10-25 no Today we are closing out our series TEMPTED.

NLT When it comes to being TEMPTED lots of people believe THEY CAN HANDLE the things that they would advise other people to run from. When it comes to being TEMPTED the Bible says DON'T PLAY WITH FIRE!

Come on everybody's got one; some live under the old adage, "DON'T DO TODAY, WHAT YOU CAN PUT OFF UNTIL TOMORROW" anyone admit to this one! Here's something DID YOU KNOW that an article in USA today said that most Americans FIB AT LEAST 50 TIMES A DAY (how do we fit it all in?). According to the article, people lie about their AGE, their INCOME, and their ACCOMPLISHMENTS. The article stated that people lie to ESCAPE EMBARRASSMENT. I think that so many people tell "LITTLE WHITE LIES" because their convinced since they are not BIG GIANT MALICIOUS LIES AIMED TO MAIM AND HURT SOMEONE. This is just one example of a "GRAY AREA" and what I want to do today is to help us NAVIGATE OUR WAY through "GRAY AREAS" because we all need to realize that the DESTINATION OF BEING RUINED by TEMPTATION always starts with ONE FIRST STEP. http://www.gsbc.net/page/Media/48 2009-10-04 noLast month we learned that Jesus is all about MESSY PEOPLE, and that He meets us where we are but He doesn�t want us to stay there.

We learned that He doesn�t expect PERFECTION but HE DOES EXPECT us to MATURE in our faith. The problem is, we still have ISSUES and we have an enemy who desires to TRIP US UP and to KEEP US from maturing into the CHRISTIANS God calls us to be. The Bible tells us we actually have three things that we need to be on constant guard against, THE WORLD, OUR FLESH, and the devil. The Devil�s main objective, as far as you and I are concerned, is to cause us to fall so that God is dishonored and we become useless to the Kingdom work of God. http://www.gsbc.net/page/Media/47 2009-09-27 noI remember MY FIRST SUNDAY here at GRANITE; It was February 2, 1997.

This guy was on FIRE FOR GOD and just looked liked one sharp guy. Then he shared HIS STORY, HIS JOURNEY TO CHRIST. And as he was sharing I kept repeating in my mind over and over again, I WOULD HAVE HAD NO IDEA! This guy was a serious DRUG USER, DRINKER, was in and out of JAIL, STOLE from those he loved to get his fix, and it was all TRUE, CONFIRMED BY OTHERS. This guy WHO STILL SERVES OUR CHURCH has one of those YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MESSED UP I WAS STORIES, but THEN I CRASHED INTO JESUS! You see, a TRUE CHURCH is not made up of PERFECT PEOPLE. It's made up of IMPERFECT, JACKED UP, MESSED UP, PEOPLE who have YOU HAVE NO IDEA STORIES, people who have nothing to brag about other than the AMAZING LOVE OF JESUS that MET THEM WHERE THEY WERE, BUT DIDN�T LEAVE THEM THERE. http://www.gsbc.net/page/Media/47 2009-09-20 noYou are all such a bunch of incredible IMPERFECT people!

As we saw last week He invites all the MESSY PEOPLE sinned stained people of the world to COME AS THEY ARE and He will do the rest. http://www.gsbc.net/page/Media/47 2009-09-13 noA bunch of SCREWED UP people, who are taking life one day at a time, learning what how to deal with all the JUNK in our lives!

So if you have ISSUES WELCOME to the family! As a matter of fact when you study the ministry of Jesus you learn real fast that Jesus' ministry was MESSY! And that�s exactly why the RELIGIOUS PEOPLE Of Christ's day couldn�t stand Him. See the reason Jesus came was to take all the BROKEN MESSED UP PEOPLE of the world, and love them back to the FATHER. You don�t believe me, then check out what the Bible says. http://www.gsbc.net/page/Media/46 2009-09-06 noIt's the last weekend of this series "What in the World is Going On?"

We talked about the NEXT BIG THING on the "Prophetic Calendar" and that is the RAPTURE. That is Latin for "seized up". Last week we just touched on some of the things that will happen after the rapture. The last book of the Bible, Revelations, is incredibly intense and has a lot to it. One of the things that we have stressed the last two weeks was that "knowing the future impacts the way we live today." This is the point of today. We know a little bit of the future events and now what are we supposed to do. It's like you are given a little bit of knowledge and now that knowledge requires action. http://www.gsbc.net/page/Media/46 2009-08-30 noIn WEEK ONE I GAVE YOU a little acronym for BIBLE, you probably don't remember it so let me repeat it.

BASIC INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE LEAVING EARTH, and that's what this series has been about. And the more we wrap our minds around what God says IS GOING TO HAPPEN the more intensity we should have as followers of Jesus to LIVE A CERTAIN WAY NOW� As we saw last week we are LIVING IN THE GENERATION, the season when the Lord IS GOING to return! What we want to do today is to take a PEEK at some of the things that will take place between the RAPTURE and the event the BIBLE calls the MILLENNIAL KINGDOM. http://www.gsbc.net/page/Media/46 2009-08-27 noWe discovered three things last week that the majority of us ALREADY BELIEVE in PROPHECY we just needed to connect the dots.

We also learned that KNOWING THE FUTURE can help us find PEACE and STRENGTH FOR TODAY. And that PROPHECY MOTIVATES and ENCOURAGES us STAY ON COURSE FOR CHRIST! What I want everyone here to know today is that we are living in a time where every day, biblical signs are unfolding before our very eyes that we are living on the doorstep of the NEXT BIG THING that will take place PROPHETICALLY. http://www.gsbc.net/page/Media/46 2009-08-16 noOur new series is called WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON!

I know it's a long title for a typical GRANITE study but the title is all about the one question we are going to be answering the next few weeks. The only way this series will not be relevant to anyone is if you have been living under a rock! If you have spent any time reading the papers, reading both national and world news on the WEB, or have spent any time watching FOX NEWS or CNN then chances are, if you have been paying attention, you have been hearing words like tsunami, earthquake, hurricanes, wars in the middle east, tensions rising between communist and democratic nations, and all kinds of other chaos around the world. The question is, put it in what some would say is a biblical question, ARE WE LIVING IN THE LAST DAYS? Are these the SIGNS OF THE TIMES before the return of Jesus Christ? Where do people come up with these types of questions and are they new? No they are not new, and actually the question is a biblical question. http://www.gsbc.net/page/Media/45 2009-08-09 noDid everyone get their official Granite United umbrella coming in?

Did everyone get their official Granite United umbrella coming in? Alright let�s make sure those umbrellas work. We�ve been talking about getting under the umbrella of GOD�S AUTHORITY all this past month and today we�ll study the AUTHORITY of God�s word. We have seen that God is a God of Authority. Unlike many people, God uses his AUTHORITY to PROTECT and BLESS those who choose to get under it. http://www.gsbc.net/page/Media/45 2009-08-02 noToday is a very SPECIAL DAY because today we are going to do something we have never done as a church family on a Sunday morning; today we are going to partake in the LORD'S TABLE!

For how many of you will this be the FIRST TIME at the TABLE here at GRANITE, which I think is awesome! As we enter into the table it is here where we GO BEYOND simply THE FACTS of why we should live under GOD'S AUTHORITY to the EMOTIONS connected to it. See you can't come to the TABLE and TRULY UNDERSTAND what it represents and not be MOVED.

I want to talk to talk about NOT SETTLING for anything other than GOD'S BEST when it comes to our RELATIONSHIPS! Last week I destroyed some beautiful paintings to illustrate the fact that our COMPROMISE SHATTERS the DREAMS GOD HAS FOR US. I want you to KNOW that our RELATIONSHIPS MATTER to God. Why do they MATTER TO GOD, you might be thinking? It's because whether we are married or single today we are supposed to be REFLECTIONS OF JESUS CHRIST to our world. This is why SETTLING for anything other than GOD'S BEST shatters dreams. http://www.gsbc.net/page/Media/45 2009-07-19 noHow do I know God has great plans for us?

Well He tells us He does� In Jeremiah 29:11, 'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.' In other word�s God says it�s His heart to bring us to Himself, to place us UNDER HIS AUTHORITY, so that He can BLESS US. But we are also told in the Bible that even though it is God�s heart to bless IT IS OUR CHOICE on whether or not we GET UNDER His blessing� We apologize for the technical difficulties with the audio from this weeks message. http://www.gsbc.net/page/Media/45 2009-07-12 noWOW!

Can you sing songs like that in church that communicate a point, heck ya! This BIG HAIR BAND TWISTED SISTER tapped into the primary attitude that gets most people in trouble physically, and the reason man�s relationship with God was BROKEN. It�s a serious AUTHORITY ISSUE and whether you like it or not we all have issues in this area. Whenever we PUSHBACK FROM AUTHORITY, jump out on our own, and walk away; we set ourselves up for a lot of trouble and problems. Not just some of the time, all of the time. We need to realize God is the Author of authority and He always works through authority. http://www.gsbc.net/page/Media/44 2009-07-05 noA man once challenged people by saying, 'ATTEMPT GREAT THINGS FOR GOD, EXPECT GREAT THINGS FROM GOD'!

Today I want to talk about a dad that in the Bible who set things in MOTION in his life in such a way that His entire family was IMPACTED FOR GOD! A dad so in tune with the voice of God that it didn�t matter what the other voices around him were saying his allegiance was to ONE, HIS GOD! A dad not willing to COMPROMISE, because he knew his FAMILY�S FUTURE depended on how HE LIVED HIS LIFE. A dad where sitting on the SIDE LINES WAS NOT AN OPTION because the stakes were way too high for his family. A dad who did not have a perfect family, but they did have a ROLE MODEL in the home they could look to. This amazing dad�s story is found in the OLD TESTAMENT and his name is NOAH! http://www.gsbc.net/page/Media/44 2009-06-14 noLast week we kicked off this series "MOTION", SETTING OUR MARK, OUR FOCUS.

This is huge because as we prepare to our CHANGE PLACES, we want to make sure we STICK to the MARK set by God for His church. More than ever we are convinced that the DREAM OF JESUS is for us to CHURCH NEW ENGLAND by GROWING our church, MULTIPLYING campuses, and PLANTING network churches. And on JULY 12TH we "GRANITE UNITED" get the party started! This move is going to MOVE our church into a position to SEE GOD DO THE AMAZING, if you believe that say AMEN! http://www.gsbc.net/page/Media/44 2009-06-07 noWhen I think about putting things into MOTION I think about a runner who walks up to a starting line, places his feet on to the blocks, gets down into the starting position, and waits for the referee's commands, ON YOUR MARK, GET SET, GO!

We learned that he is INCREDIBLY SMART and ORGANIZED, that he works with and through a VAST ARMY and that he has an agenda to RUIN OUR LIVES. If he can't keep us from being saved he works to WEAKEN and ELIMINATE our TESTIMONY and WITNESS for Christ.

I would secure a place where the church can grow 1000. In order to do this I would find a larger space. As the new pastor I would bring all our strongest leaders and campuses back together. I would not allow the Salem Campus to dictate and compromise the dream of Jesus any longer. Here is what I see happening. Barriers blown up. Worship teams less stressed. More volunteers engaged. Strongest Leaders creating a synergy. Higher level of enrichment. Granite being BIG, her realizing she is capable of so much more. Evangelism catching fire.

He wants to COMPROMISE YOU because what he really cares about is ROBBING GOD FROM HIS GLORY!

I believe the answer lies in our text but to give you a little hint, Christianity was not something they participated in, it was who they were, there Christianity was 24/7! It wasn't something they turned off and turned on, it was the real deal. But what was it that lit a fire in these people? Why were they so interested in spiritual stuff? These people went from being spiritually empty to a real relationship with God the Father through His Son Jesus Christ. Because of this these people experienced a LIFE OF TRANSFORMATION that caught the attention of those around them. http://www.gsbc.net/page/Media/35 2008-12-28 noThe question I want to answer today as we close out the year and look forward to a new year is, WHY WAS THE ACTS 2 CHURCH SO POWERFULLY USED OF GOD?

Come on I know all of us do! Now as I said last week we need to be careful of the commercialism of CHRISTMAS but, there is nothing wrong with taking time to love on each other, is there? I think the holidays can be a time of stress and hurt especially when relationships with family and friends are broken. But I also think it is during the holidays that something special can take place and relationships can be restored. A time when people realize that whatever the hurt was, there are ways to move beyond it and work towards bringing peace. See when relationships are broken it doesn�t make fir much JOY does it! The main reason Jesus Christ came to earth was because our relationship with the FATHER was broken. http://www.gsbc.net/page/Media/35 2008-12-14 noPRESENTS, PRESENTS, PRESENTS, let�s be honest today how many of us like PRESENTS?
