I Am
The Gospels in Full Color
In this message, we begin exploring the “I Am” statements of Jesus, starting with His powerful declaration in John 8:58. We’ll see how God’s name, “I Am,” speaks directly to our deepest questions and insecurities, and how knowing who He is changes everything about who we are.

The Prodigal, a story of love & redemption (part 2)
The Gospels in Full Color
In this powerful message, Pastor Tim returns to Luke 15 to reveal that the parable commonly known as “The Prodigal Son” is really a story about the extravagant love of the Father. Whether running away in rebellion or striving in religion, both sons in the story were missing the heart of their father. But Jesus shows us a Father who runs toward the broken, pleads with the proud, and restores us fully by His grace. This message highlights the difference between the old and new covenants, emphasizes our unchanging identity in Christ, and reminds us that we live not to gain God's approval, but from it. Grace abounds—all the more!

The Prodigal, a story of love & redemption (part 1)
The Gospels in Full Color
In this message, we continue exploring The Gospels in Full Color by looking at the sheer impossibility of the law and the beautiful sufficiency of Jesus. From the rich young ruler to the prodigal son, we see that God’s standard was never meant to inspire harder effort, but to expose our need for a Savior. Religion says “try harder,” but grace says “trust Jesus.” This message invites us to quit striving for what only Christ could accomplish and rest in the truth that He is our guarantee.

No More Mystery, Knowing the Messiah
The Gospels in Full Color
This message unpacks the simple yet powerful truth that God is not hiding from us but revealing Himself through Jesus to all who are willing to receive. Rather than earning revelation through effort, we are invited into the mystery made known—Christ in us, the hope of glory.

He is Enough, Even When This World is Too Much
The Gospels in Full Color
When the promises of this life fall short, Jesus proves Himself to be more than enough. He doesn't just improve our circumstances — He is our life, our source, and our sufficiency, offering us a quality of life the world could never provide.

Anchored in Christ
The Gospels in Full Color
This message powerfully declared that Jesus is not just the source of truth but the Truth Himself—unchanging, absolute, and relational. In a world of moral confusion and shifting perspectives, we are called to anchor our lives in Him, the fixed point of truth that sets us free and secures us eternally.

Knowing You're Secure
The Gospels in Full Color
This message contrasts the futility of religious self-effort with the security found in Christ alone, clarifying that salvation is not earned by performance but received by grace through faith. With Matthew 7 as its anchor, it reassures believers of their eternal security and exposes the lie that “doing enough” gains God's approval.

Jesus: The Warrior
Sundays at GLF
This message passionately contrasts the bondage of religion with the freedom of life in Christ, showing how Jesus' teachings—especially in the red-letter sections—must be understood through the lens of the New Covenant rather than Old Covenant law. Highlighting the wedding at Cana, the Sermon on the Mount, and numerous Gospel accounts, Frank declares Jesus' mission not as behavior modification, but as a victorious declaration of war on religion, replacing lifeless rule-keeping with the indwelling, resurrection life of Christ in every believer.

From Accusation to Approval
The Gospels in Full Color
This message contrasts the accusing nature of the law with the freeing grace of Jesus, who is not our accuser but our advocate, mediator, and intercessor. It invites us to stop striving for approval through performance and start trusting in the finished work of Christ, where our identity, righteousness, and rest are forever secured.

Believing, Receiving, and Giving
The Gospels in Full Color
This message highlights the simplicity and power of believing Jesus over striving for Him. Drawing from John 6:29 and Acts 20:35, it reminds us that the Christian life is not about religious effort but about receiving and releasing the life of Christ within us. We are called not to perform for God, but to depend on Him—and in doing so, we discover that it's better to give than to receive.

Hope That Satisfies
The Gospels in Full Color
This message invites us to hear Jesus’ question, “Do you want to get well?” as more than a call for physical healing—it’s an awakening to the deeper hope and desire only He can satisfy. Through His grace, not law or self-effort, Christ meets us in our disappointment, restores our hearts, and anchors us in a hope that does not disappoint.

This message highlights the unstoppable grace of God revealed in Jesus, who meets our thirst for mercy with compassion instead of condemnation, and fulfills both justice and love through the cross. Through the lens of John 8 and the woman caught in adultery, we are reminded that in Christ, we are not defined by our sin but justified, empowered to live from His acceptance, not for it.

Come to Me: The Impossible Made Possible Through Christ
The Gospels in Full Color
This sermon unpacks the impossible commands of Jesus—not as goals to strive toward but as exposures of human insufficiency meant to drive us to His sufficiency. At the heart of the gospel is not what we do for God, but what He has done for us, inviting us to rest, not strive, and to receive, not achieve.

This message calls believers to live in the freedom Christ has already provided by setting their minds on the truth—not their feelings, circumstances, or culture. True freedom is not found in creating our own truth, but in trusting the One who is the Truth—Jesus, who has made us righteous, forgiven, accepted, and deeply loved.

The Battle Belongs to the Lord

This message unpacks the battle believers face in their minds—where thoughts, emotions, and beliefs collide. Rather than being condemned by intrusive or negative thoughts, we are invited to set our minds on truth, not being led by feelings, and trusting God’s finished work. The ultimate encouragement is that the battle belongs to the Lord, and our freedom comes not from managing thoughts, but from renewing our thinking with the truth of who we are in Christ.

Connected for Good
The Gospels in Full Color
In this message, we discover that in Christ, we’re not trying to become something—we already are. Jesus declares that we are good, clean, close to God, and forever connected to Him. The old covenant brought condemnation, but the new covenant reveals our true identity: made new, joined to Jesus, and partakers of His divine nature. This is not about striving, but believing the truth that sets us free.
