The Battle Belongs to the Lord
Mind Your Business
This message unpacks the battle believers face in their minds—where thoughts, emotions, and beliefs collide. Rather than being condemned by intrusive or negative thoughts, we are invited to set our minds on truth, not being led by feelings, and trusting God’s finished work. The ultimate encouragement is that the battle belongs to the Lord, and our freedom comes not from managing thoughts, but from renewing our thinking with the truth of who we are in Christ.

Setting Your Mind for Freedom
Mind Your Business
We often think of the Christian life as us chasing after God, but the truth of the gospel is that He is pursuing us—His goodness and mercy are following us every day. This message explores the battlefield of the mind, where intrusive thoughts, deception, and distraction seek to steal our peace. Yet God's Word invites us to actively set our minds on truth, allowing His Spirit to renew our thinking and lead us into lasting freedom through the finished work of Christ.

Living with Both Feet in Both Worlds
Sundays at GLF
The Christian life is not an escape from reality but an invitation to live fully in both the physical and spiritual worlds—experiencing pain, fear, and sorrow as human beings while simultaneously drawing from the divine life of Christ within. Through the indwelling Spirit, we are empowered to engage the brokenness of this world with honesty and hope, living as clay vessels filled with the treasure of God’s presence and reflecting His strength in our weakness.

What's in a Name
Sundays at GLF
God reveals Himself through His names—Elohim, Yahweh, and Adonai—not just to display His power, but to show us His personal, intimate, and covenant-keeping nature. From Genesis to the cross and into our own lives, He is both mighty and merciful, fully able and deeply committed to keeping every promise He’s made to us in love.

The Unshakable Hope
Jesus. A Study of Colossians
In this powerful conclusion to our Colossians series, we’re reminded that the Christian life is not about adding to Jesus but trusting fully in His finished work—Christ in us, the hope of glory. We grow not by striving, but by resting in who we are: holy, blameless, and beyond reproach. Watch now and be encouraged by the truth that Jesus really is our everything.

Love as You Are Loved
Jesus. A Study of Colossians
In this message, we see how God’s unconditional love and forgiveness empower us to love and forgive others. Because He has canceled our sins and fully values us through Christ’s finished work, we no longer live in shame, guilt, or attempts to earn His favor. Instead, trusting in His love frees us to share that same love with those around us, demonstrating the very heart of the gospel. As God’s beloved children, we put on this new clothing—His compassion, kindness, humility, and patience—knowing our relationships flourish only when they flow from His life and love within us.

Jesus. A Study of Colossians
In this section, Paul warns the Colossians against being taken captive by religious or mystical practices that distract from the finished work of Christ.
