Great Oaks Community Church

Finding our place in God's story together. From the pulpit to Children's Ministry to Student Ministry, and everything in between, the entire Great Oaks family is discovering God's story in a brand new way this year. Throughout the fall of 2012 and into the new year of 2013, our goal as a church is for each one of us to find our place in His story by discovering the Bible in a new way. Our tool guiding us through the Bible is the book The Story. The Story is organized into 31 chapters and takes readers on a chronological journey of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. As we dive into God's story in 2012, feel free to use this page as a resource to view previous sermons, find groups, read devotions, and more.

We serve not to earn God's favor but as a result of God's favor.

We all have a birthday. That date when we were born into this world. We celebrate each year that moment, but have you ever taken the time to have a spiritual birthday? That time when you met Jesus for the first time? Listen as Pastor Bill teaches about how we all can have a spiritual birthday, and what that entails.

Have you ever been lost? Maybe as a child or even as an adult. There is a desire to be found, to contact someone at least to let them know where you are. Well, Christ found us long ago and all He asks of us is to find others and lead them to Him.

No matter what we can never outgive God, but is it really about giving anyways? Honestly, its more about trust and where our trust lies. With God or with the Benjamins? Listen as Pastor Bill explains from God's Word what God has to say about giving.

Time alone may be fine for a moment, even necessary, but when we begin to remove ourselves from healthy relationships that is when we can wander into trouble very easily. Listen to Pastor Bill as he speaks from God's Word about the importance of doing life together.

Change. Some people like it, others don't, but according to the bible it is something we must pursue. Growing people do change.

Don't worry, be happy! No really, in times of doubt God asks us to trust Him. To not let others influence our faith and to count on God.

In His Presence we experience opportunities and defining moments that change our lives forever. Together we took a look at Jacob and how an encounter with God changed his life forever!

Have you ever noticed that Acts doesn't end like your typical book or novel? It leaves us hanging with Paul being moved from cell to cell. Maybe the intentions of the author was to illustrate the Ongoing Mission for us. To continue teaching the truth of Jesus until His return.

Join Pastor Bill as he continues to look into the book Acts.

Pastor Chris and some of the team members from the Route 25 mission team talk about their experience serving others.

What does the way you live your life say about you? Do your actions speak differently than your words? In this chapter of Acts, Paul discusses how the way we live our lives speaks louder about us than the words that come out of our mouths.

When Paul sets out from Antioch to revisit the young churches on his third mission trip, his goal is to strengthen the disciples by filling in the gaps in their understanding, eliminating sources of evil strongholds, encouraging them and selecting apprentice missionaries to accompany him for on-the-job training.

Pauls used what he learned about the Greeks to connect with them.

Sometimes, God closes doors because He loves us.
