by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on July 26, 2026) In the verses before us today, we learn about the ministry of the Apostle Paul. Paul’s ministry was wide-ranging through the ancient world, but he primarily ministered to the Gentiles. In the first half of this sermon, we began to see his calling and his...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on July 26, 2026) In this sermon, we look at the ministry of the Apostle Paul. Paul’s journeys throughout the ancient world carried him over ten thousand miles according to some estimates! Paul ministered among both Jews and Gentiles, but his primary focus was upon the Gentiles. In fact,...

Bishop Roy J Lisath, Pastor GMFC - Tuesday, August 11, 2026

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on July 5, 2026) As we continue in our exposition of the Book of Romans, we find Paul focusing on ministry in the remaining verses of Chapter 15. In verses 8 through 14, he tells us about Jesus’ ministry, the focus of which was ultimately not only to save...

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | August 9, 2026 Referenced Scripture: Romans 1:16-17, Romans 10:13-15, Romans 15:20, 1 Corinthians 3:16-17, John 17:20-21, John 1:14 Reflection Questions:1. Throughout the book of Romans, Paul explains the truth and power of the gospel message and gives the church the mission to take that message to the world…Read: Romans 1:16-17, Romans 10:13-15, Romans 15:20If you had to evaluate your passion for the mission of taking the gospel to the world, what would you say about yourself? (excited, burdened, indifferent, scared, …) Explain… Where do you see things that you need to grow? 2. If the unity of the people of God is a major theme of seeing the world changed, where do you see the state of the church in the U.S.? What would need to change in the church? How would you think the church should go about growing in unity? What could you do personally? 3. Do you feel comfortable in your faith or challenged in your faith? Why do most people try to gravitate toward being comfortable? What is the cost of being comfortable? 4. Reflect on the life and ministry of Jesus… How did he consistently bring people to a place of challenge in their faith? Why do you think it takes challenge to bring change to people in most cases? How have you experienced challenge in your life bringing growth and change to your faith? How can we consistently bring challenge to our own life and faith? 5. Jesus modeled by becoming a person that bringing the Kingdom to earth is to be done personally and organically and intentionally. 6. If God places us intentionally in places where we can personally be an influence for the Kingdom, where are the places God has placed you right now? How can you be an influence in that place with your life? How has God used you in the past? How do you hope that He will use you in the future? 7. Who are people in your life whom you can invest and invite? (Invest in their life and relationship and invite them to join at church or in some way along your spiritual journey.)

If you're a good person and life is going well, what exactly do you need saving from? In “I'm Fine!”, the first message in our series This Is Grace: Paul's Letter to the Romans, Pastor Mark Reynolds explores why our need for God goes deeper than obvious moral failures—and how grace invites us beyond self-deception into truth, healing, and freedom.

Logan Holloman | Next Gen Pastor | July 26, 2026 Referenced Scripture: Romans 14:13-23 Reflection Questions:1. Looking back at this week's message, what stood out to you most? Was there a verse, phrase, or idea that challenged or encouraged you? 2. Paul says, "Make every effort to do what leads to peace and mutual edification" (Romans 14:19). Who has been someone in your life that consistently built you up in your faith? What did they do that made such an impact? 3. Throughout the sermon we asked the question, "Will this build?" Think about a current relationship, disagreement, or area where you have strong convictions. How might asking that question change the way you respond this week? 4. Paul reminds us that Jesus is still shaping each of us. Is there an area where the Lord has changed or matured one of your convictions over time? How does remembering that help you show humility and patience toward believers who are still growing? What's your next step? * Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

Chris is away, so Jo and Alex soldier on alone for a deep dive into Romans chapter one. After a quick recap of last episode's discussion on authorship, occasion, and audience, they move into the text itself, working through it in three sections: verses one to seven, eight to fifteen, and sixteen through to the end of the chapter.  The first section covers Paul's dense opening sentence, in which he stacks up three self-designations: slave, apostle, and one set apart for the gospel - that foreshadow themes he unpacks across the rest of the letter. Jo and Alex trace the Hebrew and Greco-Roman background behind these titles, before turning to verses sixteen and seventeen, which they treat as the theme statement for the whole book. Much of the middle of the episode is given over to "the righteousness of God," running through the Augustinian, Reformed, and "New Perspective" readings, and landing on N.T. Wright's suggestion that the phrase carries covenantal, forensic, and eschatological layers all at once.  The back half of the chapter, Paul's account of humanity exchanging the Creator for creation, gets careful handling. Jo and Alex read verses eighteen to thirty-two alongside the Wisdom of Solomon and the early chapters of Genesis, arguing Paul is diagnosing a universal human condition rather than pointing to any one group or behaviour. It's a thoughtful reminder that Paul's argument is building toward the conclusion that everyone, Jew and Gentile alike, stands in need of the same solution.

Logan Holloman  |  Next Gen Pastor  |  July 19, 2026 9am   Referenced Scripture:  Romans 14:1–9, 2 Timothy 2:22–26   Reflection Questions: 1. Where do you see yourself most tempted to make secondary issues feel like primary issues?(Examples: politics, worship styles, parenting, schooling, spiritual gifts, cultural preferences, personal convictions.) Follow-up: Why do you think we are so quick to turn differences of conviction into judgments about someone's faith?   2. Romans 14:3 says, “God has accepted them.” How should remembering that God has welcomed someone change the way we approach believers who think differently than we do? Follow-up: What is the difference between "accepting" someone and simply "agreeing" with someone?   3. Paul says, “Who are you to judge someone else's servant?” (Romans 14:4). Where are you most tempted to take a role that belongs only to Jesus? Follow-up: What does it look like practically to trust Jesus as Lord over someone else's spiritual growth instead of trying to control it?   4. Romans 14:8 says, “Whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.” How does belonging to Jesus change the way we hold our convictions, opinions, and freedoms? Follow-up: What is one area where Jesus may be inviting you to move from being "right" toward being more like Him?   What's your next step?  Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on June 14, 2026) As we move into chapter 15 of Romans, Paul turns his “closing arguments” to the stronger brother.

Brian Priebe | Executive Pastor | July 5, 2026 Referenced Scripture: Romans12:1-21, Matthew 5:44, Matthew 7:12, Matthew 22:39 Reflection Questions:1. What's one thing that stood out to you from the sermon and why? 2. How would people close to you rate your seeking of relationship over seeking revenge on a scale of 1-10? 3. What motivates you to seek relationship over revenge? Can you share an experience of seeking relationship after being hurt that was meaningful to you? 4. What are Biblical examples of Jesus seeking relationship over revenge? 5. Do you find that revenge or relationship comes to you more naturally? Why or Why not? What things make it challenging for you? 6. One of Brian's focal points was that Jesus' death on the cross offers us a mercy that we ought to be able to pass along to others. Do you agree or disagree? Why? Can you give an example of how that practically plays out in your day to day life? 7. What would the church look like if everyone took the posture of pursuing relationship over revenge in relation to the daily hurts we incur from people around us. 8. Brian referenced the idea that we tend to seek control as a motivating factor in ultimately choosing revenge over relationship. Do you find maintianing control a challenge in your life and if so, why? What's your next step? * Connect: We'd love to connect with you!
