What We Believe / At GBC, we embrace traditional dispensationalism. We interpret Scripture consistently in a normal, literal, historical, and grammatical manner which results in the following beliefs: a distinction exists between national Israel and the New Testament church; the New Testament believer is not under the Law for salvation or sanctification; Jesus Christ will sit on David’s throne in Jerusalem and ruling the earth for a future 1000-year period; and, God’s ultimate purpose is to glorify Himself.

Sermons from March 2018
Jude: Neutralizing the Rebellion (pt 6) / Jude details the speech, nature, character, and heritage of the false teachers who crept into the church.
Jude: Neutralizing the Rebellion (pt 5) / Jude warns believers about false teachers who have stealthily crept into the church just as God’s Word predicted.
/ We affirm the cessation of the “sign-gifts” that existed in the days of the apostles. We believe the Bible teaches that certain sign-gifts such as tongues, knowledge, prophecy, etc., were revelatory in nature and purpose. They are not part of the New Testament Church in the present time.
What We Believe / The moment a sinner believes Christ died for his/her sins, and rose again, to the saving of one’s soul, that person is placed into the body of Christ, the Church, of which Christ is the Head. Spirit Baptism is NOT a second work, subsequent to salvation, but simultaneous to salvation.
Jude: Neatralizing the Rebellion (pt 4) / Jude warns believers about false teachers who have stealthily crept into the church just as God’s Word predicted.
Jude: Neutralizing the Rebellion / Jude discusses his reason for writing this letter—to exhort believers to earnestly contend for the faith once delivered.
What We Believe / What is meant by “the last trump?” It is the trump to call God’s people to Himself at the end of the church age.
