Pastors Mike Dahl and Todd Miles sit down weekly to talk about how we go through life together as a body of believers. Topics will include foundational truths of the church, Christian living and how the church functions together, voices from members of GBC, and news of what is going on in the life of Gresham Bible Church.
Pastors Mike and Todd continue our podcast series on the distinctives of GBC. These are further conversations on the sermon series we did this past summer (https://www.greshambible.org/sermons/series/gbc-distinctives). This is our fifth distinctive which reads: We deeply believe that the church is a family and not an event we attend. Our Christian faith is personal, but it is never private. Our abiding in Jesus or lack thereof always has a ripple effect on the community at large. God has saved us into His family and our call is now to live out the "one another" commands in the New Testament for the glory of God. This distinctive is why we are committed to practicing meaningful church membership. This is also why we are relationally-driven in our practices. (Colossians 3:12-15, Hebrews 10:24-25)
Pastor Mike has a conversation with Lynsey Bock about her journey of learning to love God's Word and how she approaches daily bible study.

Pastors Mike and Todd continue our podcast series on the distinctives of GBC. These are further conversations on the sermon series we did this past summer (https://www.greshambible.org/sermons/series/gbc-distinctives). This is our fourth distinctive which reads: Jesus consistently taught that His kingdom was utterly different than this world. He showed us how the least in the kingdom is the greatest; how the humble and broken are the ones who can enter; that those who humble themselves will be exalted and those who exalt themselves will be humbled. We recognize that this teaching can sound nice, but is completely against our original nature and the value systems of this world. But, we are committed to being a community that grows in humility as we witness the example of Christ's humility and experience the transforming benefits of His humility in the gospel (Philippians 2:1-11).
Pastors Mike and Todd, and producer Jordan get us ready for GBC's annual week of prayer and fasting which will be from February 19-25. We hope that you join us in taking the week to focus even more on our dependence on God. You can find this week's prayer guide and other approaches for how to pray and fast on our website here: https://www.greshambible.org/prayer-fasting
