The second in our series on thankfulness, this week we learn the importance of Jesus death.  Join us as we learn how we gain so much for so little through Jesus' tremendous gift. 

In a time of the year where we are thankful for everything around us, may we remember to be thankful for Jesus.  Guest speaker Justin Bilyeu shares the first of three messages on thankfulness for Jesus.  This week we learn reasons to be thankful for the life of Jesus and his example to us.

Life is always throwing interruptions in our way, and they can sometimes interfere with our walk with Christ.  In the fourth lesson from our special "T-Shirt" podcast of our Wednesday Round 2 meetings, Joe Rollins discusses some of the ways to put God first and ignore the distractions.

How do you react to situations in life?  Do you go with your impulse, or do you take time to do things God's way?  Join us as youth minister Jeremy Kane shares this message about how to react the way God would have us react. 

Junior Waterbury shares with  us this week how our walk with Christ is like a dance.  Excerpts from the film "Shall We Dance" were used as examples, and their audio is included in the podcast.  The opening video is from the makers of the book this series is titled after, and it can be viewed by clicking here.

This is a second attempt at podcasting the first week of our special Wednesday night program called "I Became a Christian and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt."  Listen as Junior Waterbury explains how we often struggle with our identity which can lead to complications as we begin our walk with Christ.

We continue our special podcast of our Wednesday night Round 2 with this week's lesson from Joe Rollins. 

Out of Psalm 27:4 we hear David's plea to the Lord:
"One thing I ask of the LORD,
       this is what I seek:
       that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
       all the days of my life,
       to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD
       and to seek him in his temple."

Beyond our love for God, we are called to have love for other people.  Jesus grouped these two as the greatest commandment.  This week Chad speaks about the love we should have for each other.  We also learn of an exciting ministry opportunity at GCC called "Love is Green."  To view the video that was shown during this service and learn more info, visit www.greenvillechurch.com.

This week guest speaker David Jones shares with us a hard-hitting message regarding pornography.  This is an "elephant in the room" issue that plagues our culture and even our churches in America.  Join us as we finally talk about this elephant in the room. 

Note: We made it clear on Sunday morning that this is a mature topic.  Though it is tactfully addressed, you may wish to screen this podcast before allowing younger children to hear it. 

Pastor Chad ministered to us on the Fire of the Lord, referencing several scriptures.  He also shared with us some of his personal testimony.

Not only are we called to repent personally, but the bible shows us that there are times for corporate repentance as well.  We can and need to repent for the sins of our church, nation, or families to fully be in the will of God.

We learned last week that repentance is a foundational spiritual principal. This week we focus on the act of personal repentance. Many of us think we've repented once, and now it's taken care of. But we find that it goes much deeper than that, and that we are to be in a constant state of repentance. Join pastor Chad Doerr as he discusses turning away, or doing a "180," from those things of which God has convicted your heart.

The bible tells us that repentance is a foundational spiritual issue that must be learned before we can advance to spiritual maturity.  We need a solid foundation, which means we need to repent, do a "180," from the things in our life that God convicts us of. 

Bobby Marcum shows us this week the many parallels between the gym and our walk with Christ.  Learn how we in the church can turn up the heat and go to the 212th degree.

Jesus' desire has always been that His church experience perfect unity and yet from the beginning the church has struggled with becoming one. Though the issues have changed throughout history, division still remains. This week pastor Chad Doerr talks about the genearational tension that seems to plague the modern church. Join us as he inspires us from God's word to bridge the genearations.

If anyone had reason to hold onto bitterness and anger it was Joseph, and by the grace of God, he found a way to forgive his brothers for all they had done. Join us as pastor Chad Doerr concludes his series on the life of Joseph as he talks about the importance of forgiveness. It's not an option for believers.

This week we briefly step away from our "Legend of Joe Jacobson" series for a special message pastor Chad Doerr felt lead of God to share.  This message challenges all Christians to go deeper, and to let God have more control in their life.  From an interesting passage in Ezekiel, we see a prophetic picture of how our relationship with the Almighty can be.

Returning to our look into the life of Joseph, this week we hear about dealing with disappointment.  Sometimes things don't go the way we hope in life, but using Joseph's example we can see what God is doing in our lives.  We must learn to never give up on God.

Joe Rollins shares a message this week about restoring our relationship with God. We hear about the relationship God intended for us to have, as well as how we can make efforts to attain that relationship with Him. Our commitments show what is most important to us. Are we committed to our relationship with the God of the universe?

Continuing our study into the person of Joseph, this week we learn about how to have victory over temptation.  God's Word shows us how to deal with temptation of any kind that the Enemy might throw at us. 

Perhaps you've heard the story of Joe Jacobson?  If not, you'll see that there are many lessons we can learn from his life and story.  Chances are you've heard this story, but you may not realize it.  This week we learn how God brings function out of dysfunction. 

Dude to technical difficulties, we do not have a recording of this week's sermon. We apologize for this and we hope to have the problem resolved by next week. Please join us again.

The book of Malachi tells us how God feels about certain things we have grown to accept in our culture.  Listen to this challenging message that deals specifically with a biblical view of divorce and giving.  If we will return to God, he will return to us.

Departing from our Holy Spirit series, this week we discuss an important topic.  There are many things that can creep into our lives and our church that hinder us from doing what God calls us to do.  Sometimes these things can seem innocent and go unnoticed.  Join us as Chad shares some things that God laid on his heart that need to change, need to shift, so that God's vision for the church can ignite. 

The Holy Spirit guides us and calls us to do or not do many things.  Do we listen?  There is a constant battle going on that is between our desires and the desires of the Holy Spirit.  The fruits of each of these desires are dramatically different.  May we lay down our desires and heed the callings of the Holy Spirit.

Picking up where we left off before guest speaker Tommy Oaks visited us, we again explore the Holy Spirit.  This week we dive deeper into the Holy Spirit as our guide through life.  If we allow Him, the Holy Spirit can guide us in many ways as He did with the apostles. 

As we continue to explore what the Bible says about the Holy Spirit, we learn of the supernatural joy that comes from Him.  A joy that is not anchored to the circumstances of our life, this joy can be present no matter what you may be going through. 

This week we continue to explore the person of the Holy Spirit.  We see by studying the Acts of the Apostles that when they were filled with the Holy Spirit, the received an inhuman boldness.  May we also possess such supernatural boldness through the infilling of the Holy Spirit.

Many times we wish Jesus were with us in the flesh like he was with the disciples and apostles.  The Bible says, however, that it is to our advantage that it is not that way.  The Holy Spirit is a powerful gift that is more than an "it," but a person.  Join us as we explore the tremendous power and promises given to us through the Holy Spirit as we seek Him more and more. 

This week we were blessed to have Tony Kemper be our guest speaker.  Tony brought with him his experience as an educator to offer some insight on children today.  He explores the situation that we and our children are in in today's culture, and he offers biblical solutions to many of our modern worries. 

What describes the modern church today?  How is this different from the early church?  The question that we need to ask is, "What is missing?"  Join us as we search for something more.

We were blessed this week by receiving a message from Bob Russell, the former pastor of Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, Kentucky.  Bob shared with us the importance of having gratitude for all that God has given us, and he also shared some helpful ways to foster an attitude of gratefulness.  This message is podcast by permission.  Please visit www.bobrussellministries.com to find ways to get books, sermons, DVDs and more from Bob Russell. 

We serve a God of the supernatural.  The tremendous act of defeating death and sin and then raising to life is unnatural.  It's supernatural.  Join us as we explore the Easter story from a different angle and see how our Mighty God can breathe life back into any area of our lives we had once thought dead.

Our final podcast from the "Grace Effect" series is a special Round 2 message.  Chad dives further into the concept of spiritual gifts by examining the gifts present in the early Church.  May this challenging message help you be open to find that with which God has gifted you.

The last in this series entitled "The Grace Effect," this week's sermon discusses the side of God's grace that calls us to share it with others.  We learn how by His grace we are all given spiritual gifts, and it is important for us to use those for the good of others.  If you're seeking your spiritual gift, visit our website, www.greenvillechurch.com and find the link on the home page to go to a spiritual gift analysis resource. 

Everyone experiences rough times in their life, and sometimes we just don't know if we can take it any more.  This week we look at yet another dimension of God's Grace: the comforting grace.  Chad leads us through this message and discusses how God's marvelous grace is sufficient for us, even in our time of greatest need.

In our second week of The Grace Effect series, we see that the grace of God marks a person. Join us as we look at the transforming aspest of grace. Grace is not an excuse to continue in sin, rather an empowerment to experience victory.

This week begin a new series on the Grace of God. In this first week, we discuss the saving power of the Grace of God.

Due to technical difficulties, the sermon was not recorded.  We apologize and hope that the problem will be resolved by this coming week.  Please stay tuned for the next podcast!

We look this week at the well known story of Daniel and the lion's den.  More than just a "Sunday School" story, we see the importance of fearing God above fearing men.  Join us as we continue to study the fear of the Lord.

In our fifth week of study on this subject, we talk about how our relationship with God and our journey to become closer to him builds upon our fear and reverence for Him.  As we learn to fear Him, we draw closer and seek Him.  This causes us to fear and revere Him more, and the cycle continues.  This all leads to our ultimate friendship with God, which is reserved for those who fear Him. 

Using the story of Abraham and his son, we learn this week of the importance of coming to God with an undivided heart.  God wants all of us, and He should be above all else in our lives.  What is the main thing in your life that shares your devotion that should be all God's?  Listen to see how God might challenge you to give your heart to Him undivided.

We continue our study of the fear of the Lord by examining the writings of Paul to the early church.  His encouragement was to work out their salvation with fear and trembling.  What exactly does that mean?

Because we had a video message this week, we do not have our usual podcast.  We watched a message by Louis Giglio entitled "Indescribable" which is available for sale at www.268generation.com.

For this sermon series we are doing a special podcast of Round 2, our Wednesday night gathering.  Continuing our study into the fear of the Lord, Chad discusses the importance of our view of God and how it shapes our lives and our worship.

The bible calls us to fear the Lord, but what does that mean?  How can a God that calls us to love Him also require us to fear Him?  Chad wrestles with these questions and more in a series meant to challenge us to a greater walk with the Lord.

Bobby Marcum discusses the similarities between the comic-book superhero Superman and Jesus.  The story of Superman is very similar to the life of Jesus with a few important distinctions.  Do you need a superhero?

On our last Sunday before Christmas, we finish our series by examining Christmas through the eyes of Mary.  Pastor Chad Doerr walks with us through Mary's supernatural experience that ultimately leads her into a place of worship. 

We continue looking into the different viewpoints of some of the most important Christmas figures by studying Joseph.  What about the man to whom God entrusted his only Son can we learn?  How did Jesus continue to exemplify some of Joseph's greatest characteristics?  Join us as we explore.

We've all heard the Christmas story, but what must it have been like for those experiencing it?  What can we learn from the response of some of the main players in one of the most important moments in human history?  This week we look at Herod and how a "me-centered" world can cause us to completely miss Christmas.

Join us as we conclude our ReThink series with taking a look at the concept of worship. Pastor Chad Doerr will unpack the idea that we were all created to worship but so often our definition and understanding of worship is far too limited. More than something done by religous people, in a given location, at an appointed hour, worship was meant to be a lifestyle dedicated to God. More than a hour of worship, God deserves a life of worship. More than a song of worship, God expects a life of worship. We're all worshipers...the question is...who or what are you worshiping?
