Prayer, it has been said, is simply “talking to God.” which is very true but it is also so much more. Something can be simple, yet not be simplistic - just ask any kid to teach you a TikTok dance! It looks so simple 'till all your limbs have to start moving in different directions to the beat while also looking cool and effortless! Jesus' disciples recognized a power and depth to his prayers that they wanted for their own. "Teach us to pray" they asked. The Lord's Prayer was Jesus' response, short and simple. But don't let that fool you, there is way more going on in this model prayer than first meets the eye! Today we're kicking off the first of 4 weeks looking at the Lord's Prayer and the treasure trove of insight that leads to the power and depth in prayer that the disciples were looking for.

Happy New year! We're so glad to have you join us in celebrating together for our first worship service of 2021!

2020 has been...a year! A year filled with highs & lows. A year filled with so many "pivots", we might be spinning in circles! And yet, as we look back, can we also see that it's been a year of blessing? A year of growth? A year that refined us and reminded us of what is truly important? 2020 was definitely different, but what if it was "the most important year of all?" Join us as we take this fun and inspiring look back at what God has done at GT in 2020.

Christmas eve looks different this year. But as we gather together in this moment, each in our own homes, may we be reminded of a timeless truth: The source of joy, the source of hope, the source of peace is Jesus - and he never changes.

Angelic visitations? Virgin birth? A hyper gang of shepherds showing up at their son’s birth claiming to have been sent by angels? You'd think that there would be little that could amaze Mary & Joseph, these new, sleep deprived parents…and yet they were astonished...there was more to this gift, this bundle of joy than they understood. Watch as Pastor Jeremy wraps up our Christmas series "The More The Merrier" by unpacking the prophecy spoken over Jesus by Simeon. (And just for fun, find out the worst gift Jeremy's ever received!)

We're so glad to have you join us as awe continue our journey through our Christmas Series, "The More The Merrier" as Pastor Steve takes a look at what made Zachariah and Elizabeth's lives a perfect place for the Lord to show up and involve them as a part of the world's greatest moment.

We are in the midst of a global pandemic, and no, it's not the coronavirus. Before covid-19 was dominating concerns and conversations there was a pre-existing pandemic: not a physical ailment but an emotional one - loneliness. Before quarantining and social distancing were put in place to flatten the curve, many were already feeling disconnected and the events of the past year has only made it worse. As we continue our Christmas series, "The More The Merrier", Pastor Rick shows us how Jesus truly is "Immanuel", God among us...and because of that, we don't need to be alone.

We've known it's been true for a while. We've sensed its effects subtly creeping in. If anything, quarantining and social distancing has made its reality felt by everyone - we've never lived in a more connected world, yet been more disconnected! In this message, Pastor Cheryl kicks off our Christmas series "The More The Merrier" by looking at the intentionality with which God made his connection with us and wants us to make with others - and just a hint, there's no app for that!
