Allan and Lorraine Knowles will be in our services on Sunday, September 8, 2019. Come hear about the spread of the gospel in South Africa from our missionaries, Allan and Loraine Knowles.  They live in an area with a very high crime rate and political corruption.  Many churches are pastored by untrained men, steeped in false doctrine and unbiblical interpretation techniques.  For many years, Allan has been training men for the work of the ministry, by hosting Bible schools in various communities, equipping men to know and exegete Scripture soundly.  We are always blessed when they come.
​
Dinner on the grounds!  Following the morning worship service, we will enjoy good food and fellowship.  Please bring your favorite dishes to share. ​

This season, GGF is splitting up the Wednesday service into two home groups.  Our two pastors will host the groups.  Jerry Elwell will present a series on The Olivet Discourse using Gary DeMar's video series as a springboard for interpreting these prophetical passages.

Dan Tomlinson will host the alternate group and will be teaching a series on the Minor Prophets.

As usual, there will be a time of reviewing and taking new prayer requests as well as prayer.

This services will begin at 7:00 PM.

Pastor Dan Tomlinson is teaching a tremendous series, during the Sunday School hour, on the 1689 London Baptist Confession. He is equipping the saints to know what they believe and why.

Pastor Jerry Elwell is preaching a wonderful series of messages, during the worship hour, on the life of Joseph.  Join us on Sunday to see how Joseph reveals himself to his brothers.

We are wrapping up the great series on the attributes of God.  Our new Associate Pastor Dan Tomlinson did an outstanding job of digging in to the details and teaching the body on the subject matter we reviewed.

We can now look forward to getting deeply involved in the study of Mark's Gospel. 

Start reading now and we'll see you at 9:30.

By the decree of God, for the manifestation of his glory, some men and angels are predestined, or foreordained to eternal life through Jesus Christ, to the praise of his glorious grace; others being left to act in their sin to their just condemnation, to the praise of his glorious justice. ( 1 Timothy 5:21; Matthew 25:34; Ephesians 1:5, 6; Romans 9:22, 23; Jude 4 )  Chapter 3, para. 3.

We have started a new series looking at the attributes of God. It is happening during the bible study hour -- 9:30 to 10:30. 

Dan Thomlinson is leading this as we watch a short video and then he will comment and field questions.

Chapter 20.  Of the Gospel, and of the Extent of the Grace Thereof...

The revelation of the gospel unto sinners, made in divers times and by sundry parts, with the addition of promises and precepts for the obedience required therein, as to the nations and persons to whom it is granted, is merely of the sovereign will and good pleasure of God; not being annexed by virtue of any promise to the due improvement of men's natural abilities, by virtue of common light received without it, which none ever did make, or can do so; and therefore in all ages, the preaching of the gospel has been granted unto persons and nations, as to the extent or straitening of it, in great variety, according to the counsel of the will of God.
( Psalms 147:20; Acts 16:7; Romans 1:18-32 )

Chapter 20.  Of the Gospel, and of the Extent of the Grace Thereof...

This promise of Christ, and salvation by him, is revealed only by the Word of God; neither do the works of creation or providence, with the light of nature, make discovery of Christ, or of grace by him, so much as in a general or obscure way; much less that men destitute of the revelation of Him by the promise or gospel, should be enabled thereby to attain saving faith or repentance.
( Romans 1:17; Romans 10:14,15,17; Proverbs 29:18; Isaiah 25:7; Isaiah 60:2, 3 )

For the next few months we have plenty of great edifying books highlighting various missionaries and preachers from the past. Many are from the Reformation Trust.
