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.
Pastor Mike and Jordan continue our podcast series on the distinctives of GBC. These are further conversations on the sermon series we did in summer 2023 (https://www.greshambible.org/sermons/series/gbc-distinctives). This is our eighth distinctive which reads: Our vision isn't to grow big but wide. We aim to be a mid-sized church with one worship service not because we think small is better, but because of the nature of the mission Jesus has commissioned us with. Our leaders are committed to reproducing themselves and our missional aim is to raise up leaders of all kinds, plant churches everywhere, and send out foreign missionaries to bring the gospel to the unengaged and unreached peoples across our globe. (Matthew 28:18-20)
Pastor Mike and Jordan continue our podcast series on the distinctives of GBC. These are further conversations on the sermon series we did in summer 2023 (https://www.greshambible.org/sermons/series/gbc-distinctives). This is our seventh distinctive which reads: This distinctive has implications on how we view our money and time. We are committed to wisely stewarding the resources that God has entrusted to our care. We are not opposed to a building but we are opposed to saddling the church with cumbersome debt. Furthermore, we desire to do what is essential to our mission and are only interested in initiating new ministries that further the mission of the church. (Matthew 6:21, 2 Corinthians 1:12)
Worship Director Marc Peter drops by to discuss why GBC sings the songs we sing on a Sunday morning. They cover how songs are picked, who are we singing to, what's the most important instrument on a Sunday, and other facets of our worship times together. https://www.greshambible.org/music-ministry
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 sixth distinctive which reads: We seek to display God’s heart for justice by pursuing gospel reconciliation across racial, economic, generational, and political divides. And by being a blessing to the “least of these” in our community: the immigrant, trafficked, poor, abused, overlooked, addicted, widowed; and especially to the unborn and the orphan. (Micah 6:8, Ephesians 2:11-20, Matthew 25:34-40)
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)
