What We Believe / During this present age, from the Day of Pentecost to the Rapture of the church, God is at work in the lives of His people using His Grace, not the Law, as the way of life to teach and impel us to live for Him.

Jude: Neutralizing the Rebellion (pt. 7) / Jude details the speech, nature, character, and heritage of the false teachers who crept into the church.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ assures Christians—and all mankind—of eight realities.
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.
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.

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.

As Christians, our lives must be continually marked by an “upward look” when life seems dark or difficult.
First Samuel: Lessons in Opportunity (pt. 30) / A final look at First Samuel with an emphasis on the distinction between Saul and David and personal application to the believer.
What We Believe / While many seek to deny his existence, the fact remains the devil does exist and he is alive and active in this world today, in particular seeking to carry out his program of attack against God and His people.
What We Believe / A survey of texts dealing with “hell” demonstrating that 1) it is a place of punishment that is deserved, not a torture chamber and, 2) it is eternal in duration.
First Samuel: Lessons In Opportunity (pt. 29) / King Saul died as he lived—dedicated to preserving his own image and self-will rather than honoring the one, true God.
/ The importance of the pure Gospel message—that Jesus died for our sins and rose again according to the Scriptures—and our reception of this by faith alone, is of utmost importance.
/ God’s Word is inspired, inerrant, and preserved for the purpose of leading us to eternal life and Christian maturity.
Like the apostle Paul, we must forget the past and press forward into the future in service for God for His glory.
As Christians, we must rejoice in our salvation past, present, and future.
