Gibbon Baptist Church

Have you heard the Church is dying? Don't believe it. Pastor Matt delivers his final message at GBC giving four constants about the church.

The truth isn't always what we want to hear, but we need to hear it. From Paul's final charge to the young pastor Timothy, Pastor Matt teaches four realities about God's Word. Also, Pastor Matt gives an announcement at the end of the message.

Work can be tough. We sometimes have bad bosses. Sometimes we're not doing what we want to do. But work doesn't have to be a four-letter word. In fact, for Christians it should be a seven-letter word.

Mark Johnson examines how God relates to us and us to him in our suffering. He looks at the theology but also shares his personal experience with suffering.

Have you ever felt out of place? That you just don't belong? Sometimes it's because of who we are or where we are, but we often feel like foreigners. As Christians this is our calling. And it should shape how we live in the world. From 1 Peter 2:11-12 we will learn that what we do & what we don't do will make us stand out in the world. And it involves a simple math equation.

Do you wish you were more confident? Find out how you can stand confidently and move ahead boldly in your life. Because once we understand the theology of what Jesus is, then we can have more confidence with God and more confidence in every area of our life.

For generations the U.S. was known as a "Christian nation." Not so much anymore. With the rise of the "nones" and the increasing power of secular institutions in our culture, being a Christian is no longer viewed in such positive light. In fact, sometimes we are hated. Thankfully, Jesus addressed this 2000 years ago.

Super Bowl Sunday! The New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons square off on the world's biggest stage. Each team has a reputation. They are known for something. Unlike the indomitable Denver Broncos, who last year were known for their stifling defense, both teams this year are known for their offensive prowess (though New England is also known for some other things). In Part 3 of our Stand Out series we see what Christians are supposed to be known for. Hint: it's not our potlucks.

This week we're looking at Jesus' first call to the disciples, and what it means for us today. Because we are to stand out as Christians because we're moving ahead, following hard after Jesus.

How can you go from embarrassed and shy about your faith to bold and unashamed? Learn from this simple message, which answers three objections to Christianity.

GK Chesterton once said, "Joy is the gigantic secret of the Christian." Joy is one of my favorite subjects. In fact, three years ago, I did a whole series on it. For joy is TRUE HAPPINESS and happiness is what we all crave. In this final message about why Jesus came, learn how Jesus came for joy. More importantly let's grasp that joy for ourselves.

You probably have heard that Jesus came to save the world or that he died for all mankind. But do we ever stop to consider that Jesus died for me and for you. When Jesus came, God made things personal. This brief message from Christmas Eve 2016 packs some punch.

For many, the holidays are a time of happiness. But for others, it is the most difficult time of the year. Whether this season for you is "merry and bright" or more "bleak midwinter", Sunday's message from Isaiah 8:19-9:7 will show how Jesus' birth can bring you hope.

Do you ever feel as if people in our world you have hearts "two sizes too small?" That people are just plain nasty to each other? This week we will learn from Titus 3:3-5a how Jesus came for love--to change the very fabric of how we relate to one another.

700 years before the Birth of Christ, the prophet Micah gave a startlingly accurate prediction about a Messiah who would come. In this message see how Jesus is our peace, and how he brings peace to us.

A person's final words are always intriguing. King David's are certainly that. This is it. The final message in all of the Samuel epic comes this Sunday as we learn four lessons from David about his success.

History remembers the great men and women who won battles, made discoveries, ruled nations, and accomplished feats. Their names and images are part of our collective memory. Yet whenever you look a little closer, you see that there were other factors at work. From two passages about David we learn five truths about great men (and women).
