GCCWS Weekend Messages Grace Community Church of Willow Street

Sometimes, the end seems to justify the means in a world motivated by results. Sometimes, believers can ignore sin as long the results appear positive. Not so, John writes, in 1 John 2:3-6. Join us this weekend as we continue our sermon series in the book of 1 John and discover that obedience, not results, makes a difference.

This weekend, we will dig into 1 John 2:1-2. As you read these verses to prepare for worship, consider this: God traded places with us when He sent His only Son to die on a cross for our sins. God turned his wrath in punishment toward himself so he could turn his mercy in forgiveness toward us! This is amazing love!

We are sinners. Every one of us.
That’s the truth, but we still stumble over that truth. It’s still hard to grasp and hard to accept. John shines the light on our human struggle with sin in 1 John 1:5-10. He calls out the wrong choices people make regarding the sin in their lives, and he follows each wrong choice with a right choice. He explains God’s will and provision for us as we grapple with the problem of sin. As we study these verses this weekend, judge for yourself where you are regarding how you handle sin. Let the Holy Spirit examine your heart; be alert to what He is saying to you.

Join your GCC family as we continue to celebrate the truth that JESUS IS LORD! We will begin a new sermon series this weekend that will take us into the riches of 1, 2, and 3 John. These New Testament letters were written to a group of churches grappling with the fall-out from false teaching and ungodly behavior. These letters were written to bring assurance and certainty to Christians – the assurance that the Christian faith is absolutely true and Jesus is truly the one and only Savior of the world. And the assurance that we can have a new and eternal life in Jesus Christ!
This weekend, we begin our study in 1 John 1:1-4. We look forward to seeing you at GCC!

HE IS RISEN! Jesus Christ is alive! He is the Savior of the World! He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords! Join your GCC family this weekend as we gather in five services to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. John 20:1-18 will come alive in our minds and hearts as we see the resurrection through the eyes of Mary Magdalene, and discover the power of His resurrection over sin, death and the powers of darkness in our world. Then, we’ll be inspired to go and tell others the Good News!

According to John 19:28-30, at the end of Jesus’ life, he says, “It is finished”—a single word in Greek, but not a single word in meaning. Jesus didn’t say, “I am finished,” “You are finished,” or “We are finished.” Rather, he roared like a lion, “It is finished.”
Join us this weekend as we can discover what the finished work of Jesus was on the cross and what it means for us today.
