God treasures us. God loves people! Forgiven by God, we get to love him back. One way we do this is through loving other people in Jesus' name. After all, Jesus said, "Love your neighbor as yourself." We are leading our people to become the best neighbors ever where they live, work and play. Our church leaders’ job is to encourage, equip and empower our people to do this each week starting at home and working outward from there. Our aim with this podcast is to encourage, equip and empower our people to become the best neighbors ever where they live, work and play for this reason. We believe God is on the move in Charleston. It is one of the fastest growing metro areas in the country and we are blessed to be in the middle of it!

    Is My Life an Offering to God? | 2 Timothy 4:6-8

    Is My Life an Offering to God? 2 Timothy 4:6-8 6  For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time for my departure is near.  7  I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.  8  Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing. Paul writes this as he is languishing in a cold, damp, subterranean Roman prison – awaiting his execution Paul’s perspective and focus as awaits death, show us how to live and how to die He takes a few minutes to look at his life as a Christ follower in the present, in the past and what that means for his future. We all have a future after death…”the best is yet to come” for those who believe in Jesus What he is NOT talking about is his persecution of Christians prior to his conversion…there’s no “BUT” in his description of his life. THE PRESENT - As Mikey talked about last week - Paul is issuing his charge to Timothy in light of his (Paul’s) impending martyrdom - After urging Timothy to fulfill his ministry, Paul reflects on his own… 6  For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time for my departure is near.  - Paul is speaking about dying – being poured out like a drink offering - Paul is reflecting on his life of sacrifice to God - (AND) departing – maybe the image of a boat (talk about that in a minute) - Paul used the same drink offering reference about 5 years earlier – referring to the possibility of his own death… Philippians 2:17 17  But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. - In THIS case, he is aware that his death is no longer a possibility, but impending - Paul is referring to the Old Testament sacrificial system – make sacrifices for the atonement of their sin… - Leviticus 23:13 - 13  together with its grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah [a]  of the finest flour mixed with olive oil—a food offering presented to the Lord, a pleasing aroma—and its drink offering of a quarter of a hin [b]  of wine. - During the ritual of sacrificing a lamb, wine was poured out at the base of the altar – a time of pouring out, or emptying the life of the sacrifice - In this case, the pouring out of life would represent an offering to Jesus - Though there would still be a little time before his death, but he was aware that the process had begun A question for us: are we aware that the process has begun? - Had a friend who said he might believe on his death bed. - we don’t get to pick the time of our death…even if we think we should get to, we shouldn’t - this became an operative metaphor for how Paul regarded his life – a drink offering being poured out - The details of Paul’s death are not described in scripture, but this picture of being poured out for Christ’s sake is awe-inspiring. Paul was facing death, but triumphant. From the time of his conversion on the Damascus road, everything he had was given to God: his wealth, his mind, his body, his passions, his position, his reputation, his relationships, his dreams – all of it was poured out, sacrificed to God. All that remained was his life’s breath, and he triumphantly gave that. You might say…well…this was Paul. I mean, THE PAUL. I could never do that. Could we say the same? Have we given Jesus EVERYTHING? This is a question you have to ask yourself - Hopefully the answer is yes When your life is over, will they say “he/she poured out his life for Christ’s sake”? If not, what are you going to do about it? - You could say…”well, life is short and I want to live it my way”… - “my way” never works How do you want to be remembered? - Finishing well does not happen by accident. - Solomon – started out strong – asked for wisdom,

    Preach the Words | 2 Timothy 4:1-5

    Good morning church family. If you have your Bible I would ask you to go ahead and make your way to the book of 2 Timothy. Today we will be looking at 2 Timothy 4: 1-5. My name is Mikey, I am a member here at GCF and have been for a few years now. My wife Brooke, and our 5 children love this church, and I always count it as an honor when I have the opportunity to preach. Pastor Ken did a great job last week as we worked our way through the closing of chapter 3. And one passage that we looked at in particular was chapter 3 vs. 16- 17. There was a family that joined about 3 weeks ago, and as they stood up on the stage and were sharing their faith and what they believe, brother said, we believe in the sufficiency of scripture. I was in the back, I said amen! And that is really what this passage gets to. All Scripture, not some scripture is from God. [2Ti 3:16-17 ESV] 16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. We rightly believe that when we armed with the word of God we have EVERYTHING we need for God to accomplish everything he wills to do in our lives. We really don’t need anything else. The word of God is the center piece of Church. And is delivered by the man of God, the preacher. There is no greater calling, there is no more important assignment, there is no greater need. 2 One of my heros of the faith is Dr. Martin Lloyd Jones said it this way in his book “Preachers and Preaching”, “The primary task of the church and of the Christian minister is the preaching of the word of God”. As Paul is writing this, We know he is nearing the end of his time here on earth. In fact this is likely the last writing that we have. And as I studied this passage this week, I gave some thought to how I might handle my final hours on earth. And I pictured myself maybe in a room, surrounded by those that I love. Perhaps a spouse, parents, or children, or even close friend perhaps would have gathered around. Have you ever wondered how you might feel in those moments. When you don’t have much time left, and there is so much that you wanted to say to your children, but time will just not allow. And you realize in those moments the difficult times that perhaps your loved ones will have to go on to face. And you realize you will not be there to help. You will not be able share guidance or bear burdens because your time has come to an end. What would you say in those last moments? I think if you get this picture in your mind, then you are close to feeling exactly like Paul feels as he pens the last words to Timothy. And so what will he say, what is his closing plea to make sure that he leaves young Timothy headed in the right direction. Paul knows all too well the dangers that are facing the church. He himself has been imprisoned and stoned. He has seen the false teachers and he knows what they aim to do. He has seen false converts defect from the church. And with all of this on his mind, his eyes fix on Timothy, what possible advice can he give? [2Ti 4:1-5 ESV] 1 I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: 2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. 3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4 and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. 5 As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. 3 First, I want to talk about the structure of the passage, because that helps me digest and organize the thoughts in my mind. In verse 1, Paul lays out an overarching charge that sets the tone of the passage. Then in vers
