Gcc Adams Center Podcast

Why is it that Christians are often waiting for revival to come?  Jesus observed people as he interacted with them and made the statement that the harvest is ready and the fields are ripe.  He then sent His disciples out into those fields to minister to people.  In this message we see that Jesus statements all those years ago fit for us today.  Today is the day of harvest.  There are people all around us who are ready.  Are we?  

Original Sin, The fall of man:  both are common phrases in Christianity.  But, where do they come from.  In this message we look at both of these phrases and find where they come from in the Bible, who were the main players and what do they mean to us today.  Listen in and be encouraged with hope that you don't have to labor under the curse that came as a result of original sin and the fall of man.

Its New-Years resolution time again.  What is a resolution and why do we make them.  What do we base these firm decision on?  What should we be basing them on.  In this message we are strongly encouraged and challenged to CONSIDER as we make decisions - including our new years resolutions.We will see that we need to be future minded when we make such decision and what better place to look for insights than the Bible.  Listen and and be challenged and encouraged.

Is the Bible believable?  If it is then we should take notice and seriously look into what it has to say.  If it isn't believable, then Christianity is a false religion.  How do we know if we can believe it?  That is what this message is about.  Listen in to find out if you can indeed trust in and believe what the Bible has to say.

We long for things that are reliable, that have been tested and found to be stable.  The Bible is just that, reliable.  In this message we look at David's claim that the God's word has been tested and found to be trustworthy, flawless, and pure.  Oh, how we long for such as this.  Oh, how we need such as this.  Listen in and be encouraged.

David - the famous king of Israel - the one all other kings were compared to.  David was a man after God's heart according to God Himself.  God said that David would do all that He commanded him to.  David experienced so much and had so much.  We see in Psalm 119 David's passionate expression of how he felt about God's word.  But, do you realize that you and I have experienced things that David never did?  We have the whole Bible.  We know about Jesus and his death and resurrection whereas David at best only saw this from afar.  In this message we use David as an example to prepare ourselves to share communion.  Listen to be encouraged and challenged.

What does it mean to be blessed?  What does the Bible mean when it says you are blessed?  Unfortunately, our western culture has skewed our understanding of what true blessings are.  In this message we look at what it means to be blessed from a Biblical perspective as well as how to receive God's blessings.  

The human heart;  that place where our emotions reside, where our thoughts originate and where are attitudes and passions are found.  What if you were told that the human heart, left to itself, is in a bad state?  What if you were told that the human heart, left to itself, cannot be trusted.  That is what we are told in the Bible.  In this message we will look at the state of the heart and find that God has given us His Word to remedy the fallen state of our hearts.  We must realize that we cannot trust our hearts until they have been changed by God's truth.  Listen in to be challenged and encouraged.

Humans seem to constantly looking for purpose in life.  We are often wonder why we are here and what we should be doing with our lives.  There is good news.  God clearly declares the purpose for which we were made.  In this message we look at the fact that God not only created us for good works but that He plans on equipping us to do these good works.  So, listen in and be encouraged in your God-given purpose as well as the role the Word of God plays in equipping you to competently and successful do these good works.

In a time where we are bombarded with "Limited Lifetime warranties" and extended warranties, wouldn't it be nice to have a good old-fashioned GUARANTEE?  It is easy for us to claim that such guarantees no longer exist.  But what if I told you that there still is such a guarantee out there.  The Word of God comes with a genuine guarantee.  In this message we look at this guarantee and look at what it is about the Word of God that makes such a guarantee possible.  Listen in to be challenged and encouraged.

Why do so many people place so much emphasis on what the Bible says?  Why has this book had such influence on people and cultures throughout history?  The answer lies in its source.  We are told that the Bible is God-Breathed.  What does that mean?  Listen in to this message which discusses God-Breathed writings.

Faith vs reason.  It is a hot debate these days.  What if in reality we should be looking at it as Faith and Reason.  The reality is that Faith and Reason work quite well together when seeking answers to life's biggest questions. Listen in to be challenged in your faith and your reason as well as being challenged to give the Bible a chance when it comes to your search for the answers to life's biggest questions.

As we look forward to our plan to read through the bible in two years beginning in January, we want to do some prep work. No one would just travel across the world for a trek without making adequate preparations so why would we think that a trek through the Bible in two years wouldn't require some preparation as well. In this message we begin the preparations for our journey through the Bible which will begin in January of 2019.

What do you do with a letter? Do we even receive letters anymore? In days gone by if you received a letter from a friend you would read it and reread it. You would go to great lengths to understand what they were saying and even try to figure out what they may have been thinking. You would have responded back to them as well. What do we do with the letters from Jesus in Revelation? What do we do with God's communication to us as found in the Bible? Listen in to this message to find that the only proper response is obedience.

Our past. Our reputation. Our name. All of these things identify us. Sometimes this is a positive thing but too often we are desperately trying to rid ourselves of our past or the reputation we have built for ourselves. We really want to be know for who we truly are. The person on the inside that no one else sees. There is good news. If we walk a life of obedience to Jesus, we will get this wish when we cross into heaven. In this message we look at Jesus promise of a new name to those who overcome. Listen in and be encouraged.

Have you ever wondered what we will do in heaven? In this message we will take a look at God's plan for mankind from the beginning and how he is going to restore that original plan throughout eternity. We will also see that we are in training while on this earth for what God has planned for us in eternity. Listen in and be encouraged.

We are all looking for paradise. We are all looking for ways to extend life. We are looking ways to make life better for ourselves and long for life free of evil and difficulties. What if there was a way to have all of this and more. In this message we see that Jesus promised such things to those who would follow after Him. Listen in and find out that you can live eternally in paradise and be sustained in this life by what God has to offer you.

As Christians we love the promises of God. But, do we realize that many promises have conditions on them? In this message we continue to look at the promises that are found in Jesus' letters to the seven churches which are found in Revelation. Are we acknowledging Jesus before men or are we disowning Him? This is a very important question as the answer determines Jesus response in regards to us. Are we wearing the proper clothes - clothes fit for heaven? How does one get these clothes? Listen in to this message and hear these topics discussed.

God is speaking but are we listening. Really. God is trying to get our attention in so many ways, yet we too often fail to hear what He is saying. In this message we are challenged to really listen to what God is telling and to walk in such a way that we will reap the blessings that come along with hearing and obeying.
