    Grieving God | Jason Daughdrill

    Unto Him be the glory. Thank you for joining us! Want to learn more about us? Check out our website here: gtwychurch.com We would love to get to know you! Connect with us here: https://gtwychurch.churchcenter.com/p... Interesting in giving? Follow this link: https://www.gtwychurch.com/giving What if the way you live is grieving the very Spirit you’re asking God to move through? We often talk about the power of the Holy Spirit, His gifts, His presence, and His anointing. But Ephesians 4 reminds us of something deeply personal: the Holy Spirit doesn’t just work through us. He lives within us and He can be grieved. In this message, we explore what it means to honor the Holy Spirit in our everyday lives, not just in moments of worship, but in the way we speak, respond, forgive, and treat the people around us. We discover: • Why the Holy Spirit is a Person to know, not simply a power to experience   • How our relationship with the Holy Spirit is connected to the way we treat others   • Why dishonesty, lingering anger, bitterness, and destructive words grieve Him   • How the words we speak can either tear people down or impart grace   • Why conviction is not condemnation, and how the Spirit’s correction reveals His commitment to transform us   • What it means to live aware of His presence throughout the day   • How the Holy Spirit is turning hardened hearts into tenderhearted, forgiving people   • And why we must never become so focused on experiencing His power that we neglect to honor His presence The same Spirit who corrects you is the Spirit who has sealed you. He isn’t trying to leave you where you are—He is committed to making you more like Jesus. Holiness isn’t about convincing God to love you. It’s learning to live in a way that honors the God who already does. So the question isn’t just, “Am I experiencing the Holy Spirit?” It’s also, “Am I honoring the Holy Spirit who lives within me?” Don’t just seek His power. Honor His presence.

    The Standard | Jason Daughdrill

    Unto Him be the glory. Thank you for joining us! Want to learn more about us? Check out our website here: gtwychurch.com We would love to get to know you! Connect with us here: https://gtwychurch.churchcenter.com/p... Interesting in giving? Follow this link: https://www.gtwychurch.com/giving What if you’re doing better than everyone around you—but still falling short of the standard? Comparison doesn’t always make us feel insecure. Sometimes, it makes us comfortable. When everyone around us is compromising, lukewarmness starts to feel normal. When nobody is pursuing God wholeheartedly, surrender begins to look extreme. But what if we’ve been measuring our lives with the wrong ruler? In this message, we look at what Scripture teaches about comparison, spiritual maturity, and the standard God has called us to pursue. Through 2 Corinthians 10:12 and other passages, we discover: Why comparing ourselves to others can lead to both insecurity and complacencyHow spiritual compromise becomes normal when we measure ourselves by the people around usWhy Jesus—not culture, popularity, or other Christians—is the standard for our livesHow a lowered standard can produce a lukewarm faithWhy comparison distracts us from our own calling to follow JesusThe danger of reshaping Christianity into something comfortable instead of embracing the cost of discipleshipHow fixing our eyes on Jesus transforms us into His imageAnd why the goal isn’t simply to try harder, but to keep becoming more like HimYou can be above average and still below the standard. The goal of Christianity isn’t to become better than the person beside you. It’s to become more like Jesus. He is the measure we grow toward and the banner we rally around when life gets difficult. So stop looking sideways to see how you measure up. Don’t look around. Look up. Normal isn’t the standard. Popular isn’t the standard. Culture isn’t the standard. Jesus is the standard. And until we look like Him, there is still more of Him to become.

    Stepping Into New Seasons | Mitch Corder

    Unto Him be all the glory. Thank you for joining us! Want to learn more about us? Check out our website here: gtwychurch.com We would love to get to know you! Connect with us here: https://gtwychurch.churchcenter.com/p... Interesting in giving? Follow this link: https://www.gtwychurch.com/giving What if the thing you’re waiting for isn’t waiting on God—but waiting on your next step? Joshua stood at the edge of a new season. Behind him was everything Israel had known: slavery, wilderness, loss, and years of preparation. Ahead of him was the promise. And God’s message was simple: It’s time to move. In this message, Bishop Mitch Corder walks through Joshua 1 and shows us what it looks like to step into the next season God has prepared for us. We learn how to: • Follow God’s direction instead of living in the past • Let go of relationships and regrets that aren’t meant for our future • Understand that the promise is what God does *for* us, while the process is what God does *in* us • Speak, meditate on, and live out the Word of God • Put our confidence in God’s presence when fear and discouragement show up • See our “Jordan River” as an opportunity for God to demonstrate His power • Ask God for strategy instead of simply asking Him to remove the obstacle • Take the step of faith that positions us to see God work Just because your plan isn’t working doesn’t mean His plan isn’t working. Your history is not your identity. Your process is preparing you for your promise. And what God has placed ahead of you is greater than what He brought you through. Sometimes the water doesn’t move until you step in. So don’t stay at the edge of your next season. Step forward. Trust His presence. Follow His Word. “I am stepping into my next season.”

    Teach Us To Pray - Week Three | Jason Daughdrill

    Unto Him be all the glory. Thank you for joining us! Want to learn more about us? Check out our website here: gtwychurch.com We would love to get to know you! Connect with us here: https://gtwychurch.churchcenter.com/people/forms/598658 Interesting in giving? Follow this link: https://www.gtwychurch.com/giving What do you do when you don’t know what to pray? There are moments when the situation is too complicated, the burden is too heavy, and our own words simply aren’t enough. But God didn’t leave us standing at the throne speechless. He gave us His Spirit. In this message, we explore what Scripture teaches about praying in the Spirit—why it matters, how it works, and what happens when we allow the Holy Spirit to lead us beyond what our own understanding can express. We look at: • How Jesus opened the way to the throne through His blood • Why prayer was always meant to be Spirit-empowered • The different kinds of tongues described in Scripture • What Romans 8 teaches about the Spirit interceding for us • How praying in the Spirit builds and strengthens us • Why the Spirit helps us pray according to the will of God • What it means to receive the gift by faith • The hindrances that keep us from yielding to the Spirit • And how praying in the Spirit can become part of our everyday life When your language runs out, the Spirit doesn’t. The Son is interceding above you. The Spirit is interceding within you. And you have been invited to come boldly. Prayer isn’t limited to what you understand. There is a language for the throne.

    Teach Us To Pray - Week One | Jason Daughdrill

    What if the Lord’s Prayer was never meant to be just something we say? What if Jesus was teaching us how to live? In this message, we unpack the Lord’s Prayer and discover that Jesus didn't simply give His disciples words to repeat—He gave them a pattern for living in continual relationship with God. From “Our Father” to “deliver us from evil,” every line teaches us something about who God is, who we are, and how we're meant to live. Using passages from Luke 11, Matthew 6, Romans 8, Hebrews 4, Ephesians 6, and more, we explore: • Why prayer begins with relationship, not technique • What it means to hallow God's name—and to carry His name well • How prayer reorders our desires around God's kingdom • Why surrendering to God's will is at the heart of prayer • What “daily bread” teaches us about dependence on God • Why confession and forgiveness keep our hearts clean • How prayer prepares us for temptation and spiritual battle • Why prayerlessness is more serious than simply missing a devotional • How Jesus Himself modeled a life of continual communion with the Father This message isn't just about learning how to say a prayer. It's about learning how to live. Prayer moves us: from self-sufficiency to dependence, from self-centeredness to God's kingdom, from anxiety to trust, from hiddenness to confession, from bitterness to forgiveness, and from vulnerability to the strength of God. Jesus didn't just teach prayer. Jesus lived prayer. And if the Son of God would not live disconnected from the Father, neither can we. So the prayer of the disciples becomes our prayer too: “Lord, teach us to pray.” The Lord's Prayer gives us the pattern. The life of Jesus gives us the priority.

    Second Fire | Jason Daughdrill

    Some of your deepest failures have a place attached to them. A room. A conversation. A smell. A person. A moment you wish you could go back and change. For Peter, it was a fire. In this message, we follow Peter through one of the darkest moments of his life. The disciple who promised he would never deny Jesus finds himself warming his hands beside a fire—only to deny his Savior three times. But Peter's story doesn't end there. After the resurrection, Jesus meets him beside another fire. Using John 18, Luke 22, Mark 16, and John 21, we explore: • Why loud devotion isn't always deep devotion • How proximity to Jesus doesn't always mean faithfulness to Jesus • The danger of finding comfort in the wrong places • Why Jesus isn't caught off guard by our failures • How God sees restoration even when we can only see regret • Why Jesus called Peter by name when Peter had counted himself out • The powerful connection between Peter's first fire and his second • How Jesus restored Peter after three denials with three questions • Why restoration doesn't just remove shame—it reclaims purpose This message isn't just about Peter's failure. It's about what Jesus does with ours. The first fire was a place of compromise. A place of denial. A place of failure. But the second fire was different. Jesus met Peter in the place his memories would have taken him back to—and gave him a new ending. Your failure didn't catch Jesus off guard. He knew Peter would fall. And He already knew Peter would return. God doesn't just see the failure. He sees the restoration. The repentance. And the purpose still ahead. “Jesus knew he would fail—but He also knew he would return.”
