The Gospel is Preached!

Our church is eager to provide links to our weekly sermons (when technical issues allow us to). You can browse the selection below to keep up with the preaching ministry. As always, you are more then welcomed to come and listen to our sermons live at 10:30 every Sunday morning. The fellowship of worshiping together is no substitute for recorded sermons on an impersonal website. We would love to see you live and in person.

There are a number of passages in the Bible that speak to the deity of Jesus. None are so clear as the “I Am” statements in the book of John. They help us see Jesus as the one who came to save us from our sins. You should download and listen Share them on Facebook. We also have many the sermons of our previous series like The Light of Bethlehem Shines On, What Do We Have for God?, Psalms We Love, Heroes from the Old Testament, our adventure through the book of Mark, and others uploaded for your listening enjoyment.

I Am the Light of the World

By: Tim Claassen
Series: GMC - Sunday Service
Light is needed for us to see. This is just how God has created our eyes. When light does not come into our eyes or our eyes cannot translate that light for our brain to understand, we are blind. The same is true spiritually. Our spiritual eyes needs to see the light of Jesus and be interpreted by him for our minds to be open to the things of God. This message is about a blind man who can see, and seeing men who are blind.

Light of Joy

By: Tim Claassen
Series: GMC - Sunday Service
Joy to the World. The message of the angels was not just for the shepherds on the hillside outside of Bethlehem 2000 years ago. The Light of Joy still Shines on. And it is not just for a select few. This is a message for "all the people". Jesus was born as a Savior to bring us the joy of knowing him in a new and unique way. So I hope that as I mentioned in my sermon that all of us will pray, "Jesus, I want to get to know you better this year".

Our Confession

By: Tim Claassen
