Sermons by Pastor Daniel Wiersema (Page 11)
Taking a Look Under the Hood
1 Timothy 4: 1-5 Recognizing the spiritual battle going on around you and guarding your heart and mind.
Sacrifice of Praise Service
Congregation shared God’s Grace through Testimony and Praise.
“Jacob the Shepherd”
During Advent this year, we are doing several dramatic monologues which focus on a different person from the biblical account concerning the birth of the Savior, Jesus taking human form. It is something different. We trust that you will be encouraged in your walk & relationship with God.
“Church Leadership & Qualities – Not Just a Sermon for the Church Board” (Part 2)
Now that we have the qualities of elders outlined, what is the elder to do and how is the church to respond in a godly manner to leadership. We’ll explore those two aspects this week and discuss deacons on November 19th.
“Church Leadership & Qualities – A Sermon Not Just for the Church Board” (Part 1)
Paul spells out the qualifications for elders & deacons in 1 Timothy 3. What he lists are valuable qualities that we should use as we select men for leadership. What Timothy lists though aren’t just qualifications for church leadership though, but what is expected really (in regard to most of the qualities) of all of us as believers. Don’t be quite to think 1 Timothy 3 is for someone else if you aren’t in leadership. It’s for you too.
“Culture vs Truth – God’s Blueprint in the Church”
Our culture and the Bible have two very different viewpoints on the blueprint of the Church and the order of leadership. In 1 Timothy 2, we find the answer to the question–what’s the role of women in the church? Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll touch the other side of that regarding the role and responsibility of men in the church.
“A Beautiful Picture”
The Apostle Paul speaks of the grace and mercy shown him by God and speaks of the blessedness of salvation.
“From Paul, to Timothy” – 1 Timothy 1:1-2
This is the beginning of a new series on 1 Timothy. Join us each week as we work through the book written to young Timothy by the Apostle Paul and discover what we can apply to our own lives personally as well as live out in the local church.
Installation Service for Pastor Daniel (Part 2)
Pastor Daniel gives a response and speaks about what the future holds for GBC.
“Surrender – Submission, Humility, Sacrifice”
This is the conclusion of a short series on the subject of surrender. It draws our three aspects that are key components of surrender and issues that we need to take seriously in each of our lives. Each area demands personal reflection and asking God where we might do better or how might we live these things out better in our lives. We know you will be encouraged by the truth of God’s Word and challenged from it to take…
“Surrender: A Place of Peace”
We are bombarded every day with many concerns. Finances seem to often be an issue in a world that is telling us to buy, buy, buy with money we don’t have. The health of our loved ones, neighbors, and friends fails. Then we have the daily pressures of our jobs and family and so on and so on and so on. Worry, anxiety, fear all plague us at least at one point or another in our lives. The Apostle Paul…
“Surrendering Divided Affections”
God calls us to love Him. If you are honest with yourself though, that love for Him can be distracted and divided by our love for the world and the things that it contains. The Apostle John addresses this all too common issue in his first epistle. Take some time to listen to this second part of the SURRENDER series as we continue to as the question – “Would I give this up because God has something better for me?”
“Surrender: God Has Something Better for You”
This is the start of our new summer series on SURRENDER. Throughout we will keep coming back to the key question – “Would I give this up because God has something better for me?”. That is a tough question that we need to be honest in answering. Our prayer is that as we go through this that God would open our hearts and minds and reveal to us the things in our lives that really we need to surrender to Him.…
“A Formula for Running”
I am not a runner, but I have observed running enough to know that every person has a specific formula to help them achieve greater and greater success. The Christian life is compared in the Scriptures to a race that we are to run. Hebrews 12:1-3 lays out the formula for us as Christian runners to achieve success in our race of faith.
“New Creation in Christ”
The work of Christ has made salvation available to all who will come in faith. Those that do respond have an amazing work done in them. The Apostle Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:17 that we are “new creations” in Christ. This short verse is an encouragement and call to action in many respects if we look at it in depth.
“Four Focuses on Jesus”
Join us as we look through each gospel and how the various writers present a different aspect about Jesus. As they do, you’ll find their message gives us hope, encourages our hearts, and calls us to action as believers.
“The Mark of a Disciple of Christ – LOVE”
This continues what we talked about a few weeks ago concerning the love that the Apostle Paul speaks of in 1 Corinthians 13.
