Psalm 119:65-72 - Speaker: Josh MacAvoy - Psalm 119 is the longest song in the entire Bible; it has more verses than the entire book of Philippians, Ephesians or Galatians! This Psalm is a well-known acrostic poem, broken into 22 distinct segments (one for each letter of the Hebrew alphabet) with each segment being eight verses long and each verse in Hebrew starting with that associated letter. This Psalm is skillfully crafted and arranged to make it memorable as a teaching aide in communicating it's two dominant themes – (1) the call to delight in God's good word (2) in the middle of real-life struggles. In our time together tomorrow, we will look at one of these eight-verse segments, from verses 65-72, taking special note of the good from God and the good describing God in these verses.

Before you know it, you’re knee-deep in wrapping paper and wondering how your credit card bill got so high. Americans, on average, drop $1,200 on holiday gifts each year, according to the National Retail Federation. But Georgia Gwinnett College business professor Dr. Cathy McCrary says a little planning now can save you a lot of stress—and money—later. Her advice? Start simple: Make a list of who you’re buying for. Jot down gift ideas and ballpark prices. Set a savings goal and stick to it. McCrary also suggests breaking your savings into manageable chunks—like setting aside a bit from each paycheck—and even opening a separate account to keep things organized. STORY 5: Tourism sets new record in Georgia Georgia was buzzing last year—tourists, business travelers, you name it. A record 174.2 million visitors poured into the state in 2024, spending a jaw-dropping $45.2 billion. That’s 4% more than the year before, according to Gov. Brian Kemp. Kemp, speaking at a tourism conference in Savannah, credited Georgia’s charm: its mountains, beaches, and everything in between. Business travel was booming too, with 17 million domestic visitors dropping $4.6 billion on conventions and meetings. Tourism, the state’s second-largest economic driver, even saved households $1,285 in taxes, thanks to $5.1 billion in government revenue. We’ll be right back.

2 Corinthians 1:12-2:4 - Speaker: Lukus Counterman - Paul has had a difficult relationship with the church of Corinth. There have been numerous ups and downs. And the conflicts have sapped his emotional energy. He's made multiple trips to visit the congregation. He's written numerous letters to deal with problems. But it seems like it's one thing after another. So what should a believer do when they're struggling through a relationship dilemma? Well, Paul teaches us that we need to make theologically-informed decisions in the fog of conflict, and let Jesus lead the way. May the Lord guide us through his word as we seek to follow him.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for September 27th Publish Date: September 27th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, September 27th and Happy Birthday to Meatloaf I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. It's Back — Magical Nights of Lights returns to Lanier Islands Magazine still rates Georgia No. 1 for business Three of Georgia’s top higher education institutions retain high rankings All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: It's Back — Magical Nights of Lights returns to Lanier Islands After a five-year break, one of Georgia’s most cherished holiday traditions is finally back. Lanier Islands Resort announced Thursday that Magical Nights of Lights will return for the 2025 holiday season, promising a reimagined experience that’s bigger, brighter, and, well, just plain magical. From Nov. 15 to Jan. 4, 2026, the lakeside resort will transform into a glowing wonderland. Picture this: miles of twinkling lights, animated displays, and Christmas carols playing through your car radio. Classic favorites like Candy Cane Lane and the 12 Days of Christmas are back, but there’s new fun too—Pickleball Elves, anyone? The tour ends with two festive stops: Holiday Headquarters (think mulled wine, s’mores, and axe throwing) and License to Chill Snow Island, complete with snow tubing and ice skating. Tickets start at $25 per car, and overnight guests get a free light tour. STORY 2: Magazine still rates Georgia No. 1 for business For the 12th year running, Georgia has snagged the top spot on Area Development Magazine’s list of best states for doing business. A dozen years—pretty impressive, right? The magazine pointed to affordable housing, reliable child care, and solid transportation as key reasons for the streak. Southern states dominated the rankings, with Georgia leading the pack, followed by South Carolina, Texas, and North Carolina. Gov. Brian Kemp credited the win to teamwork between state leaders and local communities, while the Georgia Chamber of Commerce called the state the “economic envy of the nation.” But the game is changing. Tax breaks and cheap land aren’t enough anymore. Companies are eyeing climate risks, water access, and long-term resilience. Georgia, the magazine noted, is already ahead in those areas. It’s not just about business—it’s about building a place where people want to live, work, and stay. STORY 3: Three of Georgia’s top higher education institutions retain high rankings Georgia’s top universities are holding their own in the 2026 U.S. News rankings, with all three—Georgia Tech, UGA, and Emory—landing in the top 100. Tech climbed to 32nd, tied with NYU and two California public schools. UGA stayed steady at 46th, sharing the spot with four others. Emory? Sitting pretty at 24th, right alongside Georgetown. The rankings factor in everything from graduation rates to faculty pay to post-grad earnings. And in specific fields? Georgia schools shine. Emory’s nursing program is second only to Duke. Tech’s environmental and industrial programs are No. 1, and UGA’s insurance program? Best in the nation. For in-state students, Tech and UGA are a steal at just over $10,000 a year. Out-of-state? Triple that. Emory, though, comes with a hefty $70,000 price tag. Worth it? Depends who you ask. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: CITY OF SUGAR HILL STORY 4: Police: Woman stabbed to death at home near Stone Mountain Gwinnett County police are investigating after a woman was fatally stabbed Thursday in what appears to be a domestic violence case. Officers responded to a call around 4:30 p.m. about a person down at a home on Deshong Drive, near the Gwinnett-DeKalb County line. Inside, they found a woman who had died from stab wounds. A female relative was detained elsewhere in Gwinnett, and detectives are questioning her. The victim’s name hasn’t been released yet, pending notification of her family. Anyone with information can contact detectives or Crime Stoppers for a possible cash reward. STORY 5: Housing Matters: Conversion of extended-stay hotel to affordable housing to begin soon A vacant Extended Stay America off Jimmy Carter Boulevard is getting a second life. Starting in December, it’ll be transformed into affordable housing for seniors, homeless youth, and young adults aging out of foster care. Gwinnett County and the Gwinnett Housing Corporation bought the property in February for $14.5 million, using funds from the Affordable Housing Development Fund and the American Rescue Plan. Units will be for single or double occupancy, with rents about $500 below market. Leasing starts in 2026. Break 3: STORY 6: Duluth Fall Festival returns this weekend The 42nd Duluth Fall Festival is back this weekend, and it’s pulling out all the stops—over 180 arts and crafts vendors, 40+ food booths, and nearly two dozen performers spread across two stages. It’s a lot. Festivities kick off Saturday at 10 a.m. with the parade, which some say is the biggest in Gwinnett. After that? The opening ceremony at the Festival Center Amphitheater, followed by nonstop entertainment on the Festival Center and Parsons Alley stages. Sunday starts early with the Donut Dash 5K at 8 a.m. and a church service at 10 a.m. Parking? It’s tight. Use the free shuttles from local schools. And leave the pets at home—it’s hot, crowded, and not ideal for furry friends. Proceeds go straight back into the community, funding everything from downtown beautification to nonprofits like Rainbow Village and Spectrum Autism Center. Details at duluthfallfestival.org. STORY 7: FAFSA application now open for current and future GGC students For Georgia Gwinnett College students, the road to scholarships, grants, and financial aid starts now—FAFSA for the 2026–2027 school year is officially open. FAFSA isn’t just a form; it’s the key to federal grants, work-study gigs, and loans. Plus, state and school aid programs use it to figure out who qualifies for what. The earlier you file, the better your chances of snagging the most aid. Need help? The Grizzly Welcome Center (Building D) is open weekdays to guide students through the process. Pro tip: File ASAP.

2 Corinthians 1:3-11 - Speaker: Lukas Counterman - The opening 2 Corinthians is different from most of Paul's other letters. In 2 Corinthians, instead of devoting attention to the church's situation and steadfastness, Paul focuses on his own adversity and God's faithfulness. The change in norm is likely because of the strained relationship between Paul and the Corinthians. They weren't looking kindly upon their founding apostle. They were critical of him and his ministry life. As a matter of fact, they looked disparagingly at his sufferings. They thought a true servant of the Lord should be blessed and favored, not trampled and abused. So, in our text this weekend, Paul is going to argue that God uses suffering for our good and his glory. The gospel paradox revealed in suffering is that God provides comfort in affliction. So, may the Lord help us see his good purposes in the tough seasons of life.

2 Corinthians 1:1-2 - Speaker: Lukus Counterman - Welcome to our new expository series through the book of 2 Corinthians! For the next two semesters we are going to look at Paul's most personal epistle. It's a letter that highlights different expressions of gospel paradox. Paul will talk about life through death, wealth in poverty, comfort in affliction, and strength in weakness. In Jesus' upside-down kingdom things don't always play out the way we'd expect. May the Lord lead us and grow us through our study of 2 Corinthians.

Psalm 1 - Speaker: Josh Lankford - You thought we were done with the Psalms, didn't you? Nope! Here we are again, finding ourselves under the counsel of the Psalms as we walk with God as a church. Someone once said that Psalm 1 is "the main entrance to the mansion of the Psalter," and that's a pretty good description. It's a Psalm about living God's way and becoming the type of people God wants us to be–people who love God's instruction and leave their sinful ways behind. We emphasize God's Word so much at Gospel Grace, and this passage is one of many that have shaped our love for God's truth. Come this Sunday (and bring a friend again) to hear about the beauty of following God's way and the reward of loving his Word!

In this week's episode of the Grizzly Den, Madison Crews caught up with GGC's Gabriela Rosas and Errin Leak. Gabriela Rosas breaks down GGC's 3-1 win over SCAD and talks about the Grizzlies' upcoming home match against Southeastern University on Friday!On the men's side, Errin Leak talks about the takeaways from that 3-1 loss against Lindsey Wilson, GGC cracking the NAIA Top 25 poll and the Grizzlies' road trip to South Carolina to face Columbia International on Saturday!

Hebrews 2:5-9 - Speaker: Lukus Counterman - The book of Hebrews builds a case for why Jesus is better. In the opening chapters the author explains how Jesus is better than angels. And one of the reasons why is because Jesus (not some heavenly messenger) tasted death for everyone by suffering on the cross. Now, he didn't offer himself as a substitute for people because of their merit or worth. He didn't die just for those who were good or moral (as if anyone could claim to be that). Instead, the text says that “by the grace of God” he died in the place of sinners. It was God's unmerited favor, his grace, that motivated such an amazing sacrifice. Jesus is truly better. So may we hold fast to him.

A new episode of the Grizzly Den is here! Madison Crews sits down with GGC's Natalie Maguire to talk about the Grizzlies 1-0 loss to Truett McConnell last night and their upcoming match against #1 SCAD on Saturday. GGC's Luka Colic joins Maddie to talk about what drew him to Georgia Gwinnett and their upcoming match against Lawrence Tech (Michigan) for their first home match of the 2025 season in the Labor Day Grizzly Classic!

- Speaker: Will Galkin - What is the Gospel? People have all sorts of answers to that question. Some say it's how God keeps people out of hell. Others think it has something to do with Jesus dying. Still others define it in social terms, something about helping the oppressed or fixing what's broken in the world. And then some treat it like a moral example: “Because of Jesus, I should try to be a better person.” But when the Bible talks about the gospel, it calls it good news. That's what the word means. Romans 1:16 tells us it's not just news, it's the power of God for salvation. The clearest summary of the gospel is found in 1 Corinthians 15:3-4: Christ died for our sins, He was buried, and He rose again on the third day. To really understand why that's good news, you need the whole story. In Romans 1 through 4, the Apostle Paul lays it out. The gospel is the good news that a holy God has made a way for sinful people to be forgiven and restored to Him through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Welcome to the Grizzly Den on the SDH Network! In this episode, Madison Crews caught up with Head Coach Steve DeCou and Mike Giuliano to preview the upcoming season for the Grizzlies. Georgia Gwinnett Men's Soccer program opened the 2025 season with a 2-0 victory against Campbellsville University (Kentucky) in the Dalton State Classic in Dalton, Georgia yesterday. Maddie talked to Steve DeCou about that match and preparing for their last match in the Dalton State Classic against Brescia University (Kentucky) on Saturday at 11 a.m. GGC's Women's Soccer team start the 2025 season tomorrow as they get ready to face Montreat College in Black Mountain, North Carolina, starting at 5:30 p.m. Maddie also talked to Head Coach Mike Giuliano to talk about preseason and getting his team ready for the 2025 season! 

Top Stories for August 19th Publish Date: August 19th PRE-ROLL: MONSTER JAM From The BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, August 19th and Happy Heavenly Birthday to Matthew Perry I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia Approaching 90, Lawrenceville's Bob Cunningham still in the swing of things as a golf teacher Rascal Flatts bringing Life Is A Highway tour to Gas South Arena Gwinnett wants to increase poll worker pay for 2026 elections All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! Break 1: Kia MOG STORY 1: Approaching 90, Lawrenceville's Bob Cunningham still in the swing of things as a golf teacher Come September, Bob Cunningham—“Georgia’s Golf Guru” to those who know him—will hit a milestone most golfers only dream of: turning 90 and still shooting his age. But for Bob, golf isn’t just about playing—it’s about teaching. Five days a week, you’ll find him at Pine Hills Golf Club or The Sports Academy, sharing his “Alignment, Balance, Connection” philosophy with students. Bob’s been teaching for over 20 years, charging the same $50 an hour since day one. And retirement? Not a chance. Bob’s secret to staying young? Golf, fresh air, and purpose. For lessons, call 770-378-4310. STORY 2: Rascal Flatts bringing Life Is A Highway tour to Gas South Arena Fresh off their sold-out comeback tour, Rascal Flatts is gearing up for another run in 2026 with their Life Is A Highway tour—and yep, they’re stopping in Gwinnett. Mark your calendar: Feb. 12 at Gas South Arena. Joining them? Country favorite Chris Lane, adding even more energy to the 21-city tour that’s set to bring all the hits (and probably a few tears) to fans across the country. Tickets? They’re already on sale, so don’t wait—grab yours at Ticketmaster before they’re gone. Because let’s be honest, they will be. STORY 3: Gwinnett wants to increase poll worker pay for 2026 elections Gwinnett County wants to bump up pay for poll workers in 2026—and honestly, it’s about time. With a packed election year ahead (think: governor, U.S. Senate, and all the chaos in between), they’re asking for $120,913 to raise stipends and $87,972 for in-person training. The pay hikes? Modest but meaningful: poll managers could see $350 a day (up $10), assistant managers $280 (up $40), issuing clerks $235 (up $20), and non-issuing clerks $170 (up $10). Why? To stay competitive with neighboring counties and attract qualified workers. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: MONSTER JAM STORY 4: NBA Champion Adam Flagler Hosts Basketball Camp at Alma Mater Duluth Less than two months after winning an NBA championship with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Adam Flagler was back where it all started—Duluth High School—hosting his first-ever youth camp on Saturday. Over 200 kids showed up, from elementary schoolers to high school athletes, to learn from the former Wildcat who once dominated these same courts. Planning started months ago, with Duluth assistant coach Byron Wilson leading the charge. Flagler’s journey to the NBA wasn’t smooth. After graduating from Duluth in 2018 as the school’s all-time leading scorer, he took his only Division I offer at Presbyterian College. After a standout freshman year, he transferred to Baylor, where he helped the Bears win a national championship in 2021. Undrafted in 2023, Flagler signed with the Thunder, grinding in the G-League before earning a spot on the roster. This past season, he played 37 games and became an NBA champion. Now signed with the Spurs, Flagler’s future is bright, but Saturday was all about the kids. STORY 5: Study: Georgia Gwinnett College has made a $7 billion economic impact since its inception Georgia Gwinnett College isn’t just shaping minds—it’s driving dollars, too. Since 2007, GGC has pumped over $7 billion into the economy, according to a University System of Georgia study. Just last year? More than $558 million flowed into Gwinnett County and metro Atlanta, supporting nearly 3,800 jobs—on and off campus. With 14,000+ alumni living and working locally, GGC’s influence stretches far beyond its classrooms, building communities and preparing tomorrow’s leaders. We’ll be right back. Break: MONSTER JAM STORY 6: Let The Search Begin The Gwinnett County Board of Education is back at it—searching for yet another superintendent after firing two in just four years. It’s a mess, honestly. Who’s even going to want this job? And how do you find someone who can handle the chaos, the politics, and the sheer size of this district? This time, they’re slowing down. The board hired Alma Advisory Group for $99,840 to lead the search, promising community input through town halls, surveys, and focus groups. But critics are already talking. Some say the process feels predetermined, others worry about bias, and a few question if Alma’s track record is strong enough. Meanwhile, Interim Superintendent Al Taylor, a GCPS veteran, has quietly won over many with his steady leadership. Whoever takes the job will face big challenges: chronic absenteeism, behavior issues, budget scrutiny, and the ever-present pressure to improve academics. The board says they’ll have someone in place by the 2026 school year. But with so many eyes watching—and so much at stake—this hire feels like more than just filling a position. It’s about restoring trust, stability, and hope in a district that desperately needs all three. STORY 7: ART BEAT: Gwinnett Symphony announces 2025-26 concert schedule “Expect the Unexpected.” That’s the theme for the Gwinnett Symphony’s 2025-2026 season, and honestly? They’re not kidding. This year’s lineup is packed with everything from Copland to carols, Beethoven to the King of Pop. Classical purists, modern music lovers, and everyone in between—there’s something here for you. Kicking off Sept. 21, the “80th Anniversary World War 2 Victory Concert” at Atlanta’s Symphony Hall promises a powerhouse collaboration with the Atlanta International Symphony Orchestra. Think Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man and Bernstein’s Candide Overture. Other highlights? Handel’s Messiah in November, a Christmas concert with Sleigh Ride (kid conductors included!), and a May finale featuring Elvis, Aretha, and MJ. Details at gwinnettsymphony.org. Don’t wait—tickets will go fast. We’ll have closing comments after this. Break 4: Ingles Markets 8 Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

Psalm 23 - Speaker: Lukus Counterman - We aren't sure what the exact nature of David's difficulty was when he wrote Psalm 23, but it was characterized by enemies, threats, and dark valleys. Now, labels such as “anxiety” and “depression” weren't applied to people back then, but David seems to have faced emotional and spiritual stress. It stands to reason with all that he went through in his life from the loss of a child to the betrayal of those closest to him. So, what should the people of God do in times like that? Where should they turn in seasons of stress and suffering? Our psalm this weekend is a treasured text because it points us to the Good Shepherd and gracious host who meets us in our trouble and rescues us forevermore. May the Lord use his word of comfort to strengthen our hearts.

2 Samuel 2:1-12 - Speaker: Lukus Counterman - World news and current events expose humanity's rebellion against God. But often we don't understand how such contrarian forces are able to continue. Where is God and why isn't he doing something? Well, Psalm 2 reminds us that he is doing something. He's laughing at the futile attempts of the wicked to thwart his plans. The King of kings will rule and reign over all,enemies will be defeated, and the people of God will enjoy untold blessings. But we live in between the already and not yetof the Kingdom. The King has come but he's coming again. And while we wait, we must encourage all who will listen to “Kiss the Son, lest he be angry and [they] perish in the way.” May the Lord be our refuge in this time when nations rage, and may our hope be in him as we look forward to his soon return.

Psalm 34:1-22 - Speaker: Lukus Counterman - Have you ever felt spiritually discouraged? Maybe you've been navigating some difficult trials in your life or facing some painful circumstances. It's not easy to worship and praise God in tough times. Psalm 34 however, gives us insight into the mingling of pain and praise. It helps us lift our voices to the Lord even when our heads hang low. Join us tomorrow morning as we boast in the Lord. Perhaps you'll be encouraged once again to taste and see that the Lord is good.

Top Stories for August 2nd Publish Date: August 2nd From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, August 2nd and Happy Birthday to Carroll O’Connor I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. State obtains indictment against Cobb County clerk Study says Dacula is one of America's five safest suburbs, Buford also in top 10 Georgia Power seeking certification of new energy projects Plus, the Stripers report with JR Ritchie, starter in the MLB All-Star Futures Game and the Braves’ No. 2 prospect All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! ---------------------- Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG ---------------------- STORY 1: State obtains indictment against Cobb County clerk  Cobb County Court Clerk Connie Taylor was indicted Thursday, accused of ordering the destruction of government emails and financial records in 2022. The charges? Two counts each of destroying public records and violating her oath of office. The allegations stem from an open records request in October 2022. Taylor allegedly told an employee to delete the documents. Calls to Taylor’s office Thursday? Dodged. One staffer even forwarded a call to a local newspaper. The GBI and Carr’s White Collar and Cyber Crime Unit presented evidence to a grand jury, leading to the indictment. For now, Taylor is presumed innocent, but the case has echoes of a 2019 conviction Carr secured against a former Atlanta press secretary for delaying open records. Transparency, it seems, remains a battle. STORY 2: Study says Dacula is one of America's five safest suburbs, Buford also in top 10 If you live in Dacula or Buford, you’ve got bragging rights—both suburbs just ranked among the safest in America, according to a new study by SmartAsset. Dacula snagged the No. 5 spot, with Buford right behind at No. 6. Not bad, right? The study looked at everything from violent and property crime rates to traffic deaths, drug overdoses, and even excessive drinking. Dacula’s numbers? Just 0.0017 violent crimes per capita and 0.0062 property crimes. Buford wasn’t far off, but Dacula edged it out. Both cities tied in other categories, like traffic deaths (9.34 per 100,000) and overdose rates. Oh, and housing? Dacula’s median monthly cost is $1,547, while Buford’s is a bit lower at $1,300. Georgia had a few other cities in the rankings—Canton at No. 20, Acworth at 63—but Dacula and Buford are clearly leading the pack. STORY 3: Georgia Power seeking certification of new energy projects Georgia Power is making big moves, asking state regulators to greenlight nearly 10,000 megawatts of new energy projects. That’s a lot of power—enough to keep millions of homes and businesses running, no matter the weather. Most of it—about 8,000 megawatts—comes from projects already approved in 2022, including natural gas plants, solar paired with batteries, and standalone battery storage systems. Another 1,886 megawatts comes from this year’s plans, with similar projects in the mix. But not everyone’s thrilled. Environmental groups argue the new gas turbines double down on fossil fuels instead of pushing harder for renewables. Still, Georgia Power is leaning into battery storage, with projects underway in Bibb, Lowndes, Floyd, and Cherokee counties—and more on the way. The PSC will hold hearings this fall, with a final vote in December. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back ---------------------- Break 2: Ingles Markets ---------------------- STRIPERS INTERVIEW STORY 6: GCPS Community-Based Mentoring Program seeking volunteers The Gwinnett County Public Schools Community-Based Mentoring Program is on the hunt for 200 volunteers to step up and mentor students during the 2025-26 school year. Now in its 16th year, the program has already made a huge impact—last year alone, it supported over 2,550 students in grades 4-12. “It was one of our best years yet,” says James Rayford, the program’s director. They reached every high school, middle school, and all 20 clusters, with a 100% graduation rate for two years running. This year? They’re aiming even higher, adding job-shadowing and internships to the mix. The idea is simple but powerful: one caring adult can change a child’s life. Volunteers can mentor one-on-one or in small groups, helping students build confidence, communication skills, and a sense of belonging. STORY 7: Beyond the classroom: GGC interns gain invaluable real-world experience Summer internships aren’t just résumé fluff—they’re where classroom theory meets the messy, unpredictable real world. For Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC) students, it’s a chance to figure out what they love (or don’t) and grow in ways they didn’t expect. Take Kimberly Ramirez, a senior marketing major. “I thought marketing was just ads and social media,” she admits. Turns out, it’s strategy, planning, and making decisions that actually matter. Her internship at InTouch Financial Group? A game-changer. She even runs bilingual webinars—Marketing Monday—teaching agents how to market themselves. Then there’s Joceyln Rubio-Camacho, a finance major. Forget the cubicle stereotype. At Majors Management, she’s learned accounting is as much about people as it is spreadsheets. For cinema major Tony Arreaga, interning at Crazy Legs Production in Atlanta has been a whirlwind. One day he’s hauling props in a box truck; the next, he’s designing sets for a Netflix documentary. “It’s a lot like the Marines,” says the 10-year veteran. “Managing people, equipment, locations—it’s all about discipline.” And Emily Zboran? She’s diving into project management at Majors Management, juggling tasks solo while her bosses travel. “I’ve learned to prioritize, organize, and trust myself,” she says. The takeaway? Internships are tough to land, but worth it.

Psalm 96 - Speaker: John Moon - Sing to the LORD! This is the call of Psalm 96 - a call to daily worship God for his nature, His character, and reputation. It's a call to daily proclaim the good news that He saves. It's a call to daily declare His glory to the world. It's a call to worship – not only to God's people, but to the entire world. It pictures the heavens, the earth, the sea, the sea creatures, the fields, the land creatures, the trees, the forest ultimately all filled with joy and rejoicing. In the Old Testament this psalm anticipated the worldwide mission of the Christian Church (Matt 28:16-20). Early Christians saw the significance of the psalm, and the old Latin version in verse 10 has: ‘Say among the nations, the Lord reigns from the cross.' May god help us as the people of God to sing the glory of God to the nations, so that they could join the ever growing choir of our great God.

- Speaker: John Bowman - In the latter stages of life, the Lord has blessed you with wisdom and life experience that is invaluable to the church; wield and disburse it generously. And explore ways to financially bless the younger generations and church to model a multi-generational faithful legacy.

Psalm 16 - Speaker: Isaac Gagarinas - Many of the Psalms we've studied this summer were written in a season of deep trials. Psalm 16, however, is not one of these. Psalm 16 asks the question, “What does it look like to trust God not just in trials, but also in normal seasons of life?” Even in normalcy, David pushes his readers to consider where they find security and where they find true joy. Today, not tomorrow, is the day for Christ followers to identify their truest refuge and find their greatest delight. Prepare to both trust and delight in God as we go to Psalm 16 together.

1 John 3:17-18 - Speaker: Isaiah Maynard - Week four of our Gospel Growth: A Theology of Mercy and Compassion. Welcome to the last week of our four-week series through our Gospel Growth: A Theology of Mercy and Compassion. For the last of our time today I'd like to start by briefly reviewing the past three weeks. Then, I'd like to spend the rest of our remaining time talking about what it looks like for us to live out a theology of mercy and compassion here in Salt Lake City, and at Gospel Grace. With any teaching, we do not want to merely fill our minds with knowledge of the theoretical—instead we want to be transformed by truth, and have our actions and lives changed. James said it better: "But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves." (James 1:22).

Psalm 13 - Speaker: Josh Lankford - This summer, we have heard all sorts of Psalms expounded and applied. We've learned from Psalms of thanksgiving, wisdom, testimony, pilgrimage, and lament. Although Psalm 13 is another in the "lament" category, it has a different flavor than the others. This one is not just about trials, but God's seeming absence in them. David is asking, "Where is God in my trials?" And, "How can we trust God if it seems like he isn't even there?" When we can't find God in our pain, and it seems like he's left us behind, there is something yet to trust. There is something to grab on to and keep us going, even if we feel like God is not there. Plan to come this Sunday with your honest hurts. But also plan to hear God give you new hope in his steadfast love.

- Speaker: Taylor Ainslie: I am going to be reviewing some of the main points that Frank has introduced regarding studying the attributes of God. Then I will define biblical omnipotence. Finally, I will go through about 7 verses (Isaiah 66:1-2, Deuteronomy 3:23-24, Philippians 3:20-21, John 10:27-30, 2 Timothy 1:7-8, & Ephesians 3:20) and ask the following 3 questions: 1. "what attributes is evident? 2. How is it expressed in the passage? 3. how can I apply this to my own life? After going through those main points, I will close with what I have learned and end with prayer

- Speaker: Chan Choi - In this class, we will journey into the fourth century to uncover the life and legacy of Basil the Great - bishop/pastor and theologian. We will examine how Basil extended mercy ministry to serve the vulnerable with dignity and purpose, all while boldly proclaiming the gospel and defending the orthodoxy against the heresies of his day. His example offers a historic blueprint for integrating truth and compassion in ministry today.

- As the burdens, demands and temptations of mid-life proliferate, financial decisions take on more complexity and weight. This devotion aims to ground this phase in scripture while exploring some practical considerations for allocating capital faithfully and considering debt.

Psalm 84 - Speaker: Jon Kopp - If the famous words of Psalm 42, "Why are you downcast, oh my soul?" reflect the straining and strugglings of our relationship with God yet unfulfilled, Psalm 84 reflects the straining and strengthenings of our relationship with God fulfilled. "How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts.” But, don't rush ahead too quickly. Psalm 84 is not as neat and tidy as we'd like it to be. There's still longing. Still difficulty. Still the tension of living in a world that is not yet made whole. We often assume the blessed life is about getting what we think we want, but the more we listen to the words of Psalm 84, the more we the more we realize that the blessed life isn't about getting everything we think we want—it's about getting God. The good life is found in Him. Those who desire Him, pursue Him and trust Him are blessed.

- Speaker: Paul Howell - Join us for a practical and engaging four-week class on biblical stewardship, designed to help you honor God with your resources in every season of life. Each week we'll focus on a different stage—children, young adults, middle age, and retirement—offering tools and teaching for faithful financial living. Whether you're raising kids, paying off loans, planning for retirement, or thinking about your legacy, this class will give you clear, biblical guidance and practical steps. Come learn how to manage money God's way—and make an eternal impact.”

Luke 10:25-37 - Speaker: Chan Choi - In this session, we'll explore why God's mercy is not just a comforting truth but a transformative force in the life of every believer. We'll briefly trace the theme of mercy across both the Old and New Testaments, highlighting how it reveals God's heart and shapes our calling. Anchored in the parable of the Good Samaritan, we'll consider how God's mercy trains us to extend mercy to others.

- Speaker: Frank Strickland - That was the essence of Martin Luther's charge against a fellow theologian. That same statement can be made today of our concept of God. This class will investigate the statement that ‘Every problem in the Christian's life can be traced back to a basic misunderstanding of some Attribute of God'. As we grow in faith, we learn to lean on his attributes to guide us in times of difficulty. In fear, we can lean on His power; in loneliness, we remember His Love; in doubt, we trust His faithfulness. When we ignore His presence in hardship, we miss the opportunity to witness His faithfulness, love, and sovereignty and prepare for the next round. We will practice understanding, and applying, the Attributes of God using Holiness, Faithfulness, Omnipotence and Love. Come see how my fear of the future/my past/current events; anger/bitterness, lack of purpose, pride etc. can be cured by taking a deep dive into who God is and living it out. Hold on, because this might just change the course of your life!

Psalm 51 - Speaker: Will Galkin - This Sunday, we'll be in Psalm 51, where David responds to the exposure of his sin with a prayer that gives words to what many of us feel when we have messed up. Instead of hiding, excusing, or trying to fix things, David owns his sin and casts himself on the mercy of God. Psalm 51 is not just a record of his repentance; it is a gift to anyone who has come to the end of themselves and still wants to be made right with God. David does not bring a plan or a promise. He brings a broken heart, and that is what God receives. If you are weighed down by sin, guilt, or shame, this Psalm shows what it sounds like to turn back to the Lord. The grace we find in this Psalm does not ignore sin. It meets it, cleanses it, and restores the sinner. That is the good news. God is still in the business of meeting His people with mercy.

Psalm 142 - Speaker: Jotham Manoranjan - Psalm 142 invites us into one of the lowest points in David's life. Fleeing from Saul, David finds himself alone in a cave—with no friend and no refuge. This psalm belongs to the collection of laments—psalms that pour out sorrow and desperation to God in prayer. In this cave, at his lowest, David models what we are to do in our own moments of darkness: he cries out to God. Psalm 142 gives us more than a record of David's pain—it offers a way forward for us in our own loneliness, pain, and dejection. It shows us how to pray when there are no words, how to hope when all seems lost, and how to turn to God when no one else is left.

In April 2023, he fled from ICE agents in his truck. In July 2023, he set fire to his Norcross apartment to evade arrest, displacing 20-30 residents and injuring himself. Federal prosecutors highlighted his dangerous actions, which endangered law enforcement and the public. The case involved multiple agencies, emphasizing the commitment to holding individuals accountable for reckless and violent behavior. STORY 2: Gwinnettians denounce Trump policies during 'No Kings' protest This weekend, over 1,500 people gathered in Suwanee for a 'No Kings' protest against President Trump's policies. Organized by local volunteer Kevin Vazquez, the event aimed to highlight concerns over women's rights, immigration, and the administration's direction. Suwanee resident Maria King-Smart joined to advocate for democracy, declaring, 'History repeats itself, and I don’t want it to.' Protestors held signs like 'Defend Democracy' and 'No Kings Since 1776.' The peaceful demonstration contrasted with clashes at protests elsewhere. The event emphasized community unity, with Gwinnett County’s diverse voices calling for change. State Rep. Jasmine Clark labeled Trump a 'parasite' needing history lessons.

Struggling to stay dry amidst constant rain, they now wander the streets, battling trench foot and exhaustion. Denied stable shelter, the pair survives by collecting scrap metal, yet earn only enough for basics like food. Workman dreams of buying a vehicle to improve their situation, but obstacles remain. Local businesses, citing cleanliness and safety concerns, have pressured authorities to clear camps. Despite hardships, Workman warns, 'Anyone is one paycheck away from being here.' Their resilience remains unwavering. STORY 5: Piedmont Eastside Medical Center Opens Neurology Practice Piedmont Eastside Medical Center welcomed neurologists Dr. Ogonna Iwuora [Oh-GOH-nah Ee-WOR-ah] and Dr. Paula Lee to Piedmont Neurology at Eastside. Located on Tree Lane, the practice now offers advanced treatments for conditions like epilepsy, dementia, and headaches.

Break: STORY 6: Summer school is a time to get ahead at Georgia Gwinnett College This summer, a record 5,300 students enrolled at Georgia Gwinnett College, proving summer isn’t just for vacations. Many are earning credits to graduate early, boosting GPAs, or exploring new subjects. Nursing student Phoenix Winbush says summer classes help her stay focused, earning top grades. IT major Isaiah Jones uses the term to explore history and psychology. With compressed five-week courses, students like Winbush emphasize the need for discipline. Financial aid is available for eligible students, but Assistant Director Jacqueline Garcia Mendez advises balancing workloads to stay on track. For some, like visiting student Sara Swope, GGC’s atmosphere and professors are a major draw. STORY 7: NCG Cinemas opening new Snellville theater this weekend NCG Cinemas celebrated the grand opening of its new location in Snellville’s Presidential Markets shopping center last Friday.

Psalm 121 - Speaker: Will Galkin - This Sunday, we'll be walking with the ancient pilgrims who made their way up to Jerusalem by turning our attention to Psalm 121. This short but powerful psalm gives voice to the vulnerable soul who looks up at looming hills and asks, “Where does my help come from?” In a world filled with anxiety, fatigue, and uncertainty, this question still resonates deeply with us today. The answer the psalmist gives is clear and comforting: “My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.” As we journey through this psalm, we'll see that God is not distant or indifferent. He is our Keeper, our Protector, and our constant Companion. He watches over our lives with tireless care, and His protection extends to every step, every moment, and every season. Whether you're weary, anxious, or simply needing fresh assurance, Psalm 121 reminds us that we do not walk alone. Come ready to be reminded that because the Lord is your Keeper, you can face the journey ahead with confident faith.

The project not only showcased their skills but also opened doors for internships and potential careers with NASA. STORY 3: Corps of Engineers OKed to hire more rangers for Lake Lanier The Army Corps of Engineers has received hiring freeze exemptions, allowing them to hire six new park rangers for Lake Lanier, part of 10 full-time and six part-time ranger positions approved in Georgia. This will help address staffing shortages that led to temporary park and boat ramp closures. Public and political pushback reduced the initial 21 closures to nine. While the new hires will improve operations, Corps officials warn reopening parks will take time due to hiring and training processes. State Rep.

Psalm 90 - Speaker: Josh Roland - Psalm 90 reminds us that while God is our eternal home and refuge, sin has shattered that reality, bringing pain, wrath, and death. Moses, writing from a life of wilderness and exile, proclaims that God alone is our lasting dwelling—from everlasting to everlasting. Yet, because of sin, we face death, judgment, and separation. This Psalm confronts us with the sobering truth: all our days are under God's wrath because our sins are exposed before Him. However, the wise will respond not with defiance, but with humility—crying out for mercy and love. Moses prays for wisdom to number our days, for joy to match our suffering, and for God's favor to make our work matter. Ultimately, Psalm 90 points us to Jesus—the only one who fully knew God's wrath and bore it for us. In Christ, we are brought home. He became flesh, dwelt among us, and made a way for eternal belonging with God. Jesus isn't just the one who leads us home—He is our home. Through Him, we find mercy, joy, meaning, and eternal rest. Though life is fleeting, in Christ, our forever home is secure.

Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Gwinnett's new sculptures create attractions for downtown Lawrenceville Atlanta artist David Landis unveiled two new sculptures in Lawrenceville’s Bicentennial Plaza: “Make A Wish,” featuring towering stainless steel clovers with a hidden four-leaf clover, and “Vibrantly Connected,” showcasing ginkgo leaves forming Gwinnett County’s logo. Funded by the county for $323,500, the sculptures aim to enhance community spaces and attract visitors. Landis, inspired by botanical themes, designed the interactive pieces to foster family and community engagement. Officials, including Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson, emphasized the role of public art in creating a sense of place, with plans for more installations across Gwinnett County. STORY 2: Georgia Gwinnett College Has Record Summer Enrollment Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC) is seeing a significant enrollment surge this summer, with 5,300 students enrolled—over 600 more than last summer’s 4,698. Officials expect numbers to grow further with Summer B classes starting June 18. Kimberly Jordan, interim VP for Enrollment Management, credits the increase to GGC’s flexible, fast-paced summer courses, which are condensed into five-week sessions, helping students stay on track or graduate sooner. Summer classes began May 19 and run through July 22, continuing GGC’s trend of consistent growth for the eighth straight semester.

Psalm 131 - Speaker: Jon Kopp - The book of Psalms is a beautifully diverse book. Some Psalms give voice to our trouble like the one we heard last week. Others are packed with adoration and thanksgiving and invite us to join in. There are Psalms that exalt the rule of our king and proclaim what loyalty to Him looks like. Then, there are even Psalms that are so filled with emotion at injustice–even anger and frustration–that they overflow to the only One who can do anything about it. Psalm 131 is in a different vein from all those. Most of it is what one author called “holy eavesdropping.” Reading this Psalm is like listening to the experiences of a person who has discovered something incredibly profound about being with the Lord, and as he does, he just can't keep it to himself. In a world that rarely stops to catch its breath, Psalm 131 whispers an invitation to our restless hearts. Charles Spurgeon said of Psalm 131 that it is “one of the shortest psalms in the Psalter, but one of the longest to learn.” In this brief Psalm we a find profound message for the hurried, noisy age we live in. In the striving and distraction and restlessness of our world and our hearts, this psalm lifts up quiet humility and calm surrender in the care of the Lord. It confronts us and it comforts us. It calls us out, and it invites us in to find our rest and peace in the care of our faithful God.

Psalm 9 - Speaker: Josh MacAvoy - Have you ever experienced a moment of pain and confusion that left you asking, “Where do I go?” or “What do I do now?” God's Word doesn't shy away from these difficult moments. Instead, it addresses them directly and offers guidance for how to respond. Throughout the Bible, we see faithful believers lamenting the brokenness of life—crying out to God, choosing to trust Him, and ultimately returning to praise. Psalm 9 follows this same biblical pattern. At first glance, it appears to be mainly a psalm of praise. But just beneath the surface, we encounter deep expressions of pain and adversity. As we study this passage, we're reminded of a powerful truth: when life hurts, turn to the King. As you prepare for our time together on Sunday, take time to read through Psalm 9. Pay close attention to the many references to suffering and opposition. Also notice how often the psalm highlights God's works, His character, and His role as our righteous King and Judge.

Psalm 136 - Speaker: Christopher Hile - In Psalm 136, the psalmist does not complete a single sentence without rejoicing in praise that God's steadfast love endures forever. After calling his readers to give thanks to the LORD, he rehearses major events in the biblical narrative and grounds each of these wondrous deeds on a single cause: the enduring steadfast love of God. That is, every act of God on behalf of his people is linked to his unwavering commitment to his promises. But lest we think that God's steadfast love endured for them and not for us, the psalmist concludes by bringing himself and his audience into the story and rehearses God's deliverance of them, too. As we encounter God's works in his word, we see his steadfast love on display––not only for past generations of believers, but for us, too.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 - Speaker: Briley Hughes - It's really not enough to just understand that the Bible is historically trustworthy. When Christians say that we trust the Bible, we don't mean that we have a strong historical confidence in it (even though we do). We mean that we believe it is the Word of God, and that it is absolutely true in everything it says. That goes way beyond confidence in historical accuracy! Is the Bible God's word – is it truly inspired by God? That's what we want to discuss today.

- Speaker: Jake Larkin - Jesus is rightly considered the most well known and influential person in all of human history. Yet we live in a world that is filled with competing narratives about who he really was. Some speak as though they are unsure Jesus even existed. Others speak about Jesus as just a man who gained a large following and then died unremarkably. Similarly, some claim he was a good person whose life was at least worth emulating. Some even go as far to say that he was a remarkable person, a prophet to be listened to. Yet each of these fail to address the wealth of historical evidence for Christ. What's more they fail to capture the identity claims of Jesus himself in the New Testament. This class will equip you with a compelling case for Christ—His existence, His divine claims, His resurrection, and His unmatched influence on history. Maybe you are someone seeking to understand Jesus for yourself. Maybe you wonder if Jesus really did exist, and if so what was he like? Or perhaps you know the Jesus of the Bible personally, but you wonder how to respond to incorrect or incomplete claims about Christ that echo all around you. Wherever you are in your faith, we invite you to join us as we consider the most important question of all time: Who is Jesus?

Acts 28:17-31 - Speaker: Lukus Counterman - We are at the end of the book of Acts! It has been a wonderful journey. We have seen the continued Acts of our resurrected Lord. We've learned about how Jesus is building his church, and how his name is still spreading from neighbors to nations. In this final segment of chapter 28 we discover Paul's commitment to serve the Lord until he sees the Lord. It's a challenge to all of us. Wherever we are, tell whoever will listen, for as long as we have, that Jesus is King.

Wherever you are in your faith, we invite you to join us as we consider the most important question of all time: Who is Jesus?

Ephesians 4:4-16 - Speaker: Christopher Hile - This week, we're exploring an important question that every Christian should ask and answer: Is the church really necessary for me? Sure, we can see the way God has used his people, but why does it matter whether or not I am connected to a local church? We explore this question from a biblical perspective to see that the church is God's means of growing his people into Christlikeness--that is, the church is how God makes disciples of Jesus.

- Speaker: Isaac Gagarinas - Our class which has considered the transmission and canon of the Bible now turns to its history; is the Bible historically reliable? However, to answer this question, we will specifically consider the reliability of the resurrection. The resurrection is potentially the most important event in the Christian faith. Further, the authority of Scripture rests on the authority of Christ, and the authority of Christ rests on his resurrection. Therefore, this class asks the question, can we have confidence that Jesus actually rose from the dead? And if He did, does this increase our confidence in the Bible?
