This edition has been revised for readability. Greed rarely announces itself. It settles quietly into the habits of church life—into what we excuse, what we overlook, and what we learn to call "normal." It can hide behind respectability, careful budgeting, and even religious busyness, while love grows cold and generosity becomes optional. In Greed: The Church's Quiet Sin, John Harris exposes the subtle ways covetousness reshapes a congregation—how it dulls prayer, weakens compassion, distorts priorities, and slowly turns God's people inward. With sober clarity and pastoral urgency, he brings Scripture to bear on a sin that many believers fear to name, yet feel daily. This is not a book for pointing fingers at the world. It is a call to the household of faith: to repentance without despair, to stewardship without legalism, and to a renewed joy in laying up treasure in heaven. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/228262245587464 Religion & Spirituality Sat, 28 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. John Harris 5:12:33 no Dr. John Harris - Audiobooks https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/22826225736205 A sermon from Deuteronomy 34 on the death of Moses—focusing not only on Moses' final moments, but on how he lived in light of a pending, certain death. The message traces the context of Moses' exclusion from the Promised Land (Numbers 20), the seriousness of sin as a denial of God's holiness, and the reality that forgiven sin can still carry temporal consequences. It then highlights Moses' steady faith after God's firm "no" (Deut. 3), showing how true reward is ultimately found not in earthly blessings but in "seeing Him who is invisible" (Heb. 11). The sermon closes by emphasizing God's sovereignty over life and death, the right place of grief, and the believer's hope of final resurrection and seeing Christ face to face. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/22826225736205 Religion & Spirituality Sat, 28 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Jeff L. Peterson 0:38:26 no Jeff L. Peterson https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/228262252183959 A sermon on Mark 13:24–31 showing how Jesus speaks of near and far horizons (AD 70 and the final return), why cosmic "collapse" language signals divine judgment, and why believers must anchor their lives in Christ's words—because they alone will remain when heaven and earth pass away. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/228262252183959 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 22 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Craig Mussulman 0:47:34 no Craig Mussulman https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/22826231502901 Jesus confronts a Pharisee-like mindset by showing that He did not break God's law—He broke man-made tradition. In Matthew 9:9–13, He calls sinners, eats with them, and declares, "I desire mercy, not sacrifice," exposing self-righteousness and calling His people to extend the same mercy they have freely received. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/22826231502901 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 15 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Jeff L. Peterson 0:43:01 no Jeff L. Peterson https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/22826236373501 Jesus' warning in Mark 13 is both difficult and deeply practical: judgment is real, deception increases in desperate times, and God calls His people to be watchful, prayerful, and ready to flee to His appointed refuge. This sermon walks through the "abomination of desolation," connects Daniel's prophecy to Jerusalem's destruction, and presses home the urgent gospel call to flee from wrath and run to Christ. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/22826236373501 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 15 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Craig Mussulman 0:52:31 no Craig Mussulman - Mark https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/228262312251671 Mark 13:9–13 is some of Jesus' most pastoral end-times teaching: not a timeline to obsess over, but a call to spiritual readiness. This sermon lays out four themes—vigilant watchfulness, the cost of faithful witness, the Spirit's help when you're put on the spot, and endurance as the evidence of true discipleship. It also warns against drifting into deception or fear as culture grows more hostile, and calls believers to cling to Christ, who keeps His people to the end. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/228262312251671 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 08 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Craig Mussulman 0:57:11 no Craig Mussulman - Mark https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/228262316135189 A call to identify and avoid those who fracture the church, while guarding the unity the gospel creates. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/228262316135189 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 08 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Ryan McAnn 0:39:23 no Ryan McAnn https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/228262320571447 In 2 Corinthians 10:1–6, Paul shows that gospel ministry—and everyday Christian discipleship—is real warfare, not against people but against lies that rise up against the knowledge of God. This sermon explains what "strongholds" are (protected, defended conclusions that control us), why they feel reasonable, and how Scripture—God's weapon with divine power—demolishes them. Using vivid battle and "malware" illustrations, it calls believers to identify lies in their own minds, take thoughts captive to obey Christ, and lovingly help others do the same through patient, repeated application of truth until the stronghold is truly down. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/228262320571447 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 01 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 James Jennings 0:50:41 no James Jennings https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/228262325113564 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/228262325113564 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 01 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Jeff L. Peterson 0:45:44 no Jeff L. Peterson https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/228262330275110 Finishing Mark 12, this sermon contrasts outward, attention-seeking religion with heart-level devotion: Jesus warns against the scribes' public hypocrisy and exploitation of widows, underscores the certainty and severity of divine judgment, then spotlights the poor widow's faith-filled offering—showing that God measures giving by proportion and trust, not noise or size—and calls believers to examine whether their lives reflect "all-in" love for God that mirrors the Lord's own self-giving in the gospel. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/228262330275110 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 18 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Craig Mussulman 0:52:09 no Craig Mussulman - Mark https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/15262157225260 This message examines the subtle but serious danger of pragmatism—the belief that results justify disobedience. Walking through Scripture, it shows how good intentions, visible success, and apparent fruit can still stand in direct contradiction to God's revealed will. From Uzzah touching the ark, to Abraham "helping" God, to Peter fearing men, and even well-intended evangelism, the sermon exposes how pragmatism assumes God needs our help and shifts trust from God's Word to human wisdom. In contrast, it highlights faithful obedience in Daniel, Paul, and Christ Himself, calling believers to trust God with the results and pursue faithfulness rather than effectiveness. The aim is clear: not "what works," but what honors God. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/15262157225260 Religion & Spirituality Mon, 05 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Jonathan Sanguineti 0:48:53 no Jonathan Sanguineti https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/1526220455212 In Mark 12:28–34, Jesus answers what every faithful Jew believed was the ultimate question: Which commandment matters most? By affirming the Shema and inseparably joining it with love for one's neighbor, Jesus exposes the heart of true obedience—and the emptiness of mere religious form. This message traces how love for God and love for others cannot be separated, how external religion can exist without saving grace, and why a man can think rightly, speak biblically, and still be "not far from the kingdom" yet outside of it. The sermon presses both believers and unbelievers to examine whether love for God truly animates their lives, calling hearers not to ritual, but to repentance, faith, and restored love through Christ. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/1526220455212 Religion & Spirituality Mon, 05 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Craig Mussulman 0:48:16 no Craig Mussulman https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/15262157557715 Isaiah 42:1–4 is the Father's command to behold His Servant—Jesus Christ. This sermon traces how Matthew 12 explicitly applies Isaiah 42 to Jesus, highlighting both His quiet humility and His unstoppable mission: bringing "justice" (God's righteous rule, the obedience of faith, and the hope of the gospel) to the nations. It also explores Christ's tenderness toward the weak—"a bruised reed He will not break"—and why believers can take heart while joining His work through obedience, church life, and prayer for the coastlands still waiting for His law. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/15262157557715 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 28 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Ves Chancellor 0:54:40 no Ves Chancellor https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/1224251858213238 "How can I read the Bible in a way that I enjoy it?" Edward Leigh Pell takes up that question as plainly as a man takes up a lantern in a dark place—not to display the lamp, but to help you see the road. Many know how to read the Scriptures in some outward sense: from duty, to find support for a belief, to learn a fact, or to quiet the conscience. Yet real profit seldom comes where there is no pleasure in the search; no one draws treasure from a mine with a yawn. With homely illustrations and steady counsel, Pell clears away the common misunderstandings that make the Bible seem lifeless or impractical, and shows how the Book "gives back according to how it is approached." He urges a sane, wakeful, prayerful manner of reading—one that brings the mind and heart into harmony with the Word, until Scripture opens like a flower in its proper air. If you have handled the Bible as a treasure yet have seldom tasted its sweetness, this book will help you turn the stem—and watch the gears begin to move. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/1224251858213238 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 24 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Edward Pell 3:18:28 no Edward Pell - Audiobooks https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/1224251848111552 In this message, Jeff Peterson helps believers think biblically about persecution—especially in America, where it often looks like slander, family rejection, social pressure, or workplace consequences rather than prison. He clarifies what persecution is not (such as illness or suffering that comes from our own sin), warns against seeking persecution for attention, and reminds us that opposition to Christians is ultimately opposition to Christ. The sermon calls believers to be ready, to endure faithfully, and to obey Jesus' command: rejoice and be glad when you suffer for righteousness' sake. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/1224251848111552 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 21 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Jeff L. Peterson 0:41:29 no Jeff L. Peterson https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/1227251626277695 A sermon on Philippians 2:12–13 that clarifies what it means to "work out your salvation with fear and trembling"—not anxious self-examination or casual Christianity, but a humble, sincere, God-dependent obedience shaped by the mind of Christ, relying on the Lord who works in us both to will and to work for His good pleasure. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/1227251626277695 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 21 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 James Jennings 0:53:13 no James Jennings https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/1227251619302189 This introductory sermon begins a series on biblical manhood, rejecting cultural definitions in favor of Scripture. Drawing primarily from Genesis 1–3, it examines Adam before the fall to show God's original design for men: bearing God's image, working diligently, guarding what God entrusts, leading with love, and protecting others—especially spiritually. The message calls men to model their lives after Christ, taking responsibility in the home, church, and doctrine, while urging women to allow men to fulfill their God-given role. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/1227251619302189 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 14 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Jeff L. Peterson 0:49:18 no Jeff L. Peterson https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/128251946226 What does it really mean to be a peacemaker in a world that thrives on conflict? This sermon traces Jesus' words in Matthew 5:9 back to true shalom—the wholeness of creation before the fall—and shows how believers, reconciled by the blood of the cross, are called to restore relationships in their homes, churches, and communities. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/128251946226 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 07 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Jeff L. Peterson 0:43:48 no Jeff L. Peterson https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/128251958272187 A sermon on Mary of Bethany, who twice discerned the most worshipful response to Christ when others—even mature believers—misjudged her, showing us how deep devotion and listening at Jesus' feet lead to rare spiritual insight. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/128251958272187 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 07 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 James Jennings 0:55:01 no James Jennings https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/12525201217908 "I have learned, in whatever state I am, to be content." With that single line from Philippians 4:11, Paul introduces a rare grace that every Christian longs for but few enjoy. In this classic work Puritan pastor Thomas Watson shows that true contentment is not natural temperament or denial of hardship, but a learned, Spirit-taught way of seeing God's hand in every condition—poverty and plenty, sickness and health, calm and trouble. With piercing diagnosis and warm, practical counsel, he exposes the roots of our restlessness and guides believers into the quiet, Christ-centered confidence that can say in any circumstance, "I have learned to be content." https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/12525201217908 Religion & Spirituality Fri, 05 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Thomas Watson 3:58:05 no Thomas Watson https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/124251939548137 This sermon unpacks Jesus' beatitude, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God," and shows that this is not an impossible command for Christians but a real description of those who have received a new heart in Christ. Drawing from passages like Jeremiah 17, Ezekiel 36, Psalm 24, Hebrews 11, and Exodus 33, it contrasts the deceitful heart of the unregenerate with the Spirit-transformed heart that can pursue purity, blamelessness, and obedience. The preacher presses believers to live consciously in God's presence, to train their hearts by thinking on what is true and lovely, to beware of sliding into sin, and to see God's glory both now—in creation, common grace, and human gifting—and fully in the age to come. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/124251939548137 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 30 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Jeff L. Peterson 0:46:16 no Jeff L. Peterson https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/12525204357927 Jesus' famous line about paying taxes isn't just about money—it's about whose image is on your life and where your ultimate allegiance lies. This message exposes our political idols and calls us to give God what truly belongs to Him: everything. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/12525204357927 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 30 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Craig Mussulman 0:43:45 no Craig Mussulman - Mark https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/125251639516912 A church can be full of spiritual gifts and still miss the very thing that gives them value. This message walks through 1 Corinthians 12–14 to show why the true mark of spirituality is love, not gifts, and how that changes the way we view ministry, church life, and our own usefulness. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/125251639516912 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 23 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Ryan McAnn 0:42:04 no Ryan McAnn https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/1252520362167 Mercy is not how we become Christians, but the inevitable fruit of those who have received God's rich mercy in Christ. This sermon opens up "Blessed are the merciful" by contrasting shallow religious sacrifice with the heart God desires—steadfast love, practical pity toward those in misery, and costly forgiveness toward those who have sinned against us. Drawing from Hosea, Matthew 5 and 9, Jude, and real-life examples, it presses believers to imitate Jesus by extending mercy in ordinary, often hidden ways—toward enemies, neighbors, family, and even deep, long-standing wounds—while reminding us that God's new mercies every morning both enable and reward such a life. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/1252520362167 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 23 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Jeff L. Peterson 0:45:45 no Jeff L. Peterson https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/101625155124337 In this sermon from Mark 11:20–25 (Part 1), the preacher unpacks Jesus' words about faith that moves mountains, exploring the tension between bold belief and humble submission to God's will. Through vivid illustrations and honest wrestling with the text, we see how true faith leads to prayer that depends wholly on God, not self-sufficiency. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/101625155124337 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 09 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Craig Mussulman 0:47:39 no Craig Mussulman https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/125252019271059 Jesus says the truly blessed are those starving and thirsty for righteousness—not the merely busy, active, or "in ministry." This message probes what it actually means to crave Christlikeness in everyday life and shows how that hunger is the mark of a real Christian. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/125252019271059 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 09 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Jeff L. Peterson 0:44:14 no Jeff L. Peterson https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/117251627263161 A comforting sermon reminding believers that in times of sorrow, confusion, or trial, God remains our eternal refuge. Drawing from Deuteronomy 33:27—"The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms"—this message explores God's unchanging nature, His protective presence, and the sustaining strength of His everlasting arms. Through biblical examples such as David in the caves, Noah's ark, and the cities of refuge, the sermon calls Christians to find rest, strength, and confidence in the eternal, triune God who never wearies of carrying His people. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/117251627263161 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 05 Oct 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Matt Wilkinson 0:34:13 no Matt Wilkinson https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/11725162905313 A sermon on Matthew 8:23–27 that marvels at Jesus' authority over wind and waves, shows how he teaches before he delivers, and calls believers to trust him amid personal and corporate storms—echoing Habakkuk's "the righteous shall live by faith" and the resolve to rejoice when blessings delay. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/11725162905313 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 05 Oct 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Jeff L.

Hebrews 6 teaches that the power of the age to come is not displayed in dramatic experiences or spiritual fireworks, but in a steady love for Christ's name shown through serving His people. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/101625155501625 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 28 Sep 2025 12:00:00 +0000 James Jennings 0:43:33 no James Jennings https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/10162515619125 A heartfelt sermon reminding believers of the reality of suffering, lament, and the effects of sin, while pointing to the unshakable hope and promises of God in Christ. Drawing from Revelation 21 and other Scriptures, it emphasizes that Christians mourn with hope, clinging to God's promises of a new heaven and new earth where tears, pain, and death will be no more. The message encourages holding fast to God's promises through trials, trusting in Christ as the solid rock and the ultimate fulfillment of every hope. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/10162515619125 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 28 Sep 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Jeff L. Peterson 0:33:44 no Jeff L. Peterson https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/919251843271019 Paul lifts our eyes to the "Father of mercies and God of all comfort," showing that trials are not wasted. First, God comforts us in every affliction to make us able ministers who pass that same comfort to others—His consolation is meant to flow through us, not stop with us (vv.3–7). Second, God uses crushing seasons to kill self-reliance and teach reliance on "the God who raises the dead" (vv.8–11). Past deliverances fuel future hope; God often comforts by means (e.g., Titus' arrival and report), and He multiplies help through the prayers of many. View suffering as both ministry training and dependence training. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/919251843271019 Religion & Spirituality Fri, 19 Sep 2025 12:00:00 +0000 James Jennings 0:55:21 no James Jennings https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/919251845353148 Prayer is called "the key of paradise" and "the soul's blood," yet for many, it remains a source of frustration and mystery. We ask but do not receive. We speak but feel unheard.

Frost https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/919251844244277 This sermon explores the significance of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem as described in Mark 11:1-11. The speaker emphasizes that this event, often called Palm Sunday, reveals Jesus as a humble, sovereign, and misunderstood king who came not for earthly conquest but for service and sacrifice. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/919251844244277 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 14 Sep 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Craig Mussulman 0:46:05 no Craig Mussulman - Mark https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/91025328217518 This sermon centers on Jesus as the helper of the helpless from Matthew 9:35–38. It highlights how Christ's compassion for the crowds—harassed and helpless like sheep without a shepherd—reveals both the reality of human spiritual helplessness and the sufficiency of God's grace. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/91025328217518 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 31 Aug 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Jeff L.

We'll walk through three foundational hermeneutical methods (compare Scripture with Scripture, examine context and genre, cross‑reference translations), see how translation differences affect our understanding, and survey New Testament passages that call us to genuine holiness without slipping into legalism or laxity. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/81251438156556 Religion & Spirituality Fri, 01 Aug 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Tim Conway 0:50:04 no Tim Conway https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/81251440597268 What true Christianity really is, is a the topic that Stuart Olyott opens in 2 Thessalonians 2 :13 – 3:5 and paints a portrait of "true Christianity." A real Christian, he says, is saved—a word "stronger than helped or rescued"—delivered from God's wrath through Christ's death and resurrection. That rescue rests on God's loving choice, the Spirit's sanctifying work, and believing the gospel truth: "God chose you as the first‑fruits to be saved through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth". https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/81251440597268 Religion & Spirituality Fri, 01 Aug 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Stuart Olyott 0:46:06 no Stuart Olyott https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/8125152815147 About "Humility: Adopting Paul's "Less Than the Least" Mindset" Isaac Watts saw pride as a root‑poison in the soul and wrote these pages to help Christians dig it out by its very source. Here you will find no mere rules or moralizing, but a steady unfolding of: Pride wears subtle disguises in every heart. Christ's humility is our pattern, and Paul's self-abasement is our example. There is quiet power in depending on God and knowing our nothingness. Peace and grace flow from esteeming others and denying self. Read slowly. Let each gentle conviction awaken you to your own need. Then, having learned to think "slightly less of yourself and slightly more of others," discover the unsearchable riches Christ gives to the humble of heart. A worm may lift itself up above other worms, but one step from a man crushes it into the dust. So it is with us. We may seem greater than our neighbors, but in God's presence, we are nothing. — Isaac Watts https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/8125152815147 Religion & Spirituality Fri, 01 Aug 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Isaac Watts 1:51:40 no Isaac Watts - Audiobooks https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/8125144245126 In this message we zero in on Paul's five rapid-fire imperatives in 1 Thessalonians 5:15–18 and the importance of that little word "always." He tells us never to repay evil with evil but to do good to everyone; then he commands us to rejoice, pray, and give thanks without pause. Living "always" can feel impossible—until we remember we're united to Christ and indwelt by the Holy Spirit, who both wills and works in us for His good pleasure.

It highlights the inherent impossibility of human achievement in securing salvation, emphasizing that true faith requires relinquishing self-reliance and childlike trust in God's power. Through the narrative, the preacher underscores the necessity of pruning away pride and self-sufficiency, illustrating that God's intervention is essential for redemption, and that even seemingly impossible circumstances are opportunities for divine work, ultimately calling for a surrender to God's grace and a reliance on His power to achieve what human effort cannot. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/8125144319717 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 20 Jul 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Craig Mussulman 0:55:21 no Craig Mussulman - Mark https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/81251455287364 Well, brethren, today we press into Mark 10:1–12 and tackle a subject nobody loves—divorce. When the Pharisees come testing Jesus, He cuts through their "well-baited" questions and exposes the root sin: hardness of heart. Marriage, He reminds us, is a lifelong covenant—what God has joined, let no one separate. Yet in our fallen world He grants a concession to protect the innocent. We'll wrestle with Deuteronomy's certificate, Malachi's "I hate divorce," and the gospel-powered call to fight for every covenant, extend grace, and lean on Christ's strength. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/81251455287364 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 20 Jul 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Craig Mussulman 1:00:11 no Craig Mussulman - Mark https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/75252050392361 Cast your burden on the Lord and He will sustain you—He will never permit the righteous to be moved—so rather than longing for wings like a dove, roll today's stick (Newton reference) onto Him and be kept. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/75252050392361 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 29 Jun 2025 12:00:00 +0000 James Jennings 0:59:43 no James Jennings https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/75252051371432 Better to cut off the hand, foot, or eye that causes sin—and to avoid dragging Christ's little ones into stumbling—than to be cast into the unquenchable fire; be pure salt within yourselves and live in peace. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/75252051371432 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 29 Jun 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Craig Mussulman 1:01:50 no Craig Mussulman - Mark https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/627251742186459 In this deeply personal interview, Pastor Mack Tomlinson recounts his year-long battle with spiritual darkness and chronic insomnia, how the Psalms became his lifeline, and the miraculous moment when God delivered him through a trusted friend's counsel.

Drawing on 1 Timothy 4:11, 1 Peter 5, and Ephesians 2:14–17, he explains why the "sort of life you live" must precede your words, why "little Jesus's" must speak from a heart-to-heart place, and how true preaching is "the exposition and application of the word of God." By focusing on character, conscience, and clear, Christ-centered illustration rather than mere lecture, Olyott equips pastors to leave their congregations "longing" rather than "loathing" at the close of a sermon. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/63251613247130 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 03 Jun 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Stuart Olyott 2:06:14 no Stuart Olyott https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/64251840241216 A look at Jesus' unexpected cursing of the barren fig tree (Mark 11 / Matt 21) as a vivid lesson on faith—how unwavering trust in God's promises enables us to "wither trees" and "move mountains" in prayer. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/64251840241216 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 01 Jun 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Tim Conway 1:00:44 no Tim Conway https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/531251223526185 Stuart Olyott uses vivid analogies from hospital wards and apartment elevators to show, from 1 Corinthians 15, why the gospel alone outranks every doctrine, practice, and spiritual gift.

Do you ever tremble beneath the weight of hidden doubts, unable to bring your soul to rest? Have you wandered long in darkness, searching for a single promise to cling to? What hinders you from drawing near to Christ's tender mercy? How shall you quiet the clamoring of a conscience burdened by sin? Where will you turn when every human stay proves frail? In these pages, Thomas Hooker—first minister of Hartford—speaks directly to the poor doubting heart. Here you will find no flowery ornament, but plain, piercing truth: the riches of God's Word laid open, the way of salvation set forth step by step. Hooker guides you to cast off all reliance on your own strength and to lay hold of Christ's promises—richly furnished for the faint and feeble. Ministers and mourners alike will discover clear counsel for every stage of spiritual distress, and find their hearts drawn out of confusion into light. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/521252259127935 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 21 May 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Thomas Hooker 3:22:30 no Thomas Hooker - Audiobooks https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/64251814253655 An exposition of 1 Timothy 6:3–16, this sermon calls every believer to engage in an active struggle against false teaching, pride, quarrels, and the love of money. By unpacking Paul's exhortation to "fight the good fight of the faith," it shows how sanctification involves both fleeing sinful attitudes and pursuing righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness and gentleness. Grounded in justification by grace through faith alone, the fight begins the moment we confess Christ and continues until His appearing. Emphasizing the urgency of battling for eternal life, the message concludes with a celebration of Christ's return and a call to praise the Father who alone is immortal. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/64251814253655 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 18 May 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Ryan McAnn 0:39:57 no Ryan McAnn https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/51425163519343 Stuart Olyott partage son témoignage, son appel au ministère, et donne des conseils précieux sur l'implantation d'églises, la prédication, et l'équilibre entre famille et service.

This message tracks the story from Lazarus' tomb to the Sanhedrin chamber and presses the unavoidable question: What do you do with Jesus? We'll see how God uses wicked men—like Caiaphas, like Cyrus—to accomplish righteous purposes, turning a plot meant for evil into salvation "on steroids." If He can steer a murderous council, He can guide the craziness of our age and even the "mundane" moments of our lives—changing diapers, answering phones, mowing lawns—for eternal glory. God's driving the bus, and there are no co-pilots.

It's not just a history lesson; it's a call to examine whether we're truly seeking what God freely gives, or if we've grown dull and satisfied with lesser things. There are warnings here, but also a lot of encouragement—especially if you feel your hunger for the Lord has faded.

Drawing from 1 Corinthians 16:13, he emphasizes the apostle Paul's exhortation to "be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong." This call to "act like men" challenges believers to exhibit maturity, courage, and steadfastness in their faith. Pastor Horner highlights how the Corinthian church's tendency to align themselves with specific leaders, saying "I am of Paul" or "I am of Apollos," led to strife and division. He admonishes that such comparisons are carnal and detract from the unity and purpose of the church. By focusing on Christ alone and rejecting the idolization of human leaders, believers can foster unity and embody true Christian manhood. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/313252048501580 Religion & Spirituality Fri, 14 Mar 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pat Horner 0:47:53 no Pat Horner - 2025 Men's Retreat https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/31325204821804 Let's talk about physical attraction as it relates to marriage. The Apostle John writes in 1 John 2:15: "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves this world, the love of the Father is not in them." That's a pretty serious charge in Scripture. And John continues: "For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—are not of the Father but are of this world." I start here because, let's face it—we live in a very sensuous and sexified culture. And you and I, as Christians, are people of this culture. A culture that very much exalts, promotes, and appeals to the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes—the very things God calls us, as Christians, to renounce, not love. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/31325204821804 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 13 Mar 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Craig Mussulman 0:13:42 no Craig Mussulman - I'll Be Honest Video Clips https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/313252049181452 This sermon challenges Christian men to take personal responsibility for their spiritual walk.

That means if you're living for yourself, holding onto sin, or resisting His authority, you're in a dangerous place. But there's hope—James calls us to submit to God, resist the devil, and draw near to Him. This isn't some halfhearted submission; it's a call to full surrender. Are you truly yielding to God, or just going through the motions? Let's open the Word and see what real Christian submission looks like. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/34251829225614 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 02 Mar 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Tim Conway 1:13:29 no Tim Conway https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/31251448105471 Paul tells us in Romans 6 that the believer cannot continue in sin—Hunter considers this passage in this sermon. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/31251448105471 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 23 Feb 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Clayton Hunter Jackson 0:28:03 no Clayton Hunter Jackson https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/31251449357309 What can we take away from Christ putting his fingers in a man's ears? https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/31251449357309 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 23 Feb 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Craig Mussulman 0:50:04 no Craig Mussulman - Mark https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/21925115378102 Counseling, whether formal or in daily conversations, requires wisdom, discernment, and a biblical foundation.

Two months ago, I experienced exactly what Tim Conway mentioned in his recording: the fear that I had committed the unpardonable sin. When I was first saved, I struggled with the idea that I might be blaspheming the Holy Spirit. Coming from nominal Catholicism, I lacked many basics of faith and didn't immediately see the importance of attending church.

This humbling truth forces us to abandon self-reliance and stand in awe of the God who has mercy on whom He wills. When we grasp this reality, it silences our objections and drives us to worship rather than debate. Instead of questioning God's justice, we are left marveling at His unsearchable wisdom and undeserved grace. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/24251731394260 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 02 Feb 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Tim Conway 1:18:57 no Tim Conway - James https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/23252229439 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/23252229439 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 26 Jan 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Jeff L. Peterson 0:52:06 no Jeff L. Peterson https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/121252141467691 Humility and pride stand in stark contrast. Pride elevates the self, distorting our perception of who we are in relation to God. It fosters a sense of self-sufficiency, making us believe that we can stand on our own without divine assistance. On the other hand, humility aligns our hearts with God's truth, recognizing our dependence on Him. It's about having a proper estimation of ourselves—not thinking too highly of ourselves, nor thinking too low. Humility acknowledges God's supremacy and our need for His grace. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gcc/sermons/121252141467691 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 19 Jan 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Tim Conway 0:59:57 no Tim Conway - James
