America turned 250 this weekend, and Week 28 held everything from a quiet holiday at home to one of the most meaningful Sundays GT Church has had in a long time. We honored the first responders who serve Madison County, placed an engraved Bible in the hands of every sworn sheriff's deputy, and were reminded that the bad news never gets the final word. The Good News is louder.

A Fourth of July reflection on gratitude, freedom, and the church’s call to be salt and light. Pastor David challenges believers to stop sitting on the sidelines, engage the culture with truth and love, and remember that we are not called to maintain. We are called to advance.

A youth send-off, real stovetop oatmeal, a toddler bed that nearly cost me my salvation, and a Sunday where the altars filled before we ever got to the message. Week 25 turned out to be about houses — not the kind you fill with bleachers, but the kind you live in, and whether the presence of God is welcome there. Read the full wrap-up and the one prayer that carried the whole weekend: make our houses a place where heaven hears and hell fears.

Have you ever stood between what was and what’s next?

In this article, Pastor David shares how the altar is more than a place of remembrance. It is a place of surrender, decision, and fresh faith. Don’t build a monument to what God used to do. Build an altar where He can meet you today.

Week 24 was full of family moments, ministry meetings, unexpected adventures, full altars, and three baptisms. Through it all, one truth stood out: God does some of His greatest work in the in-between.

Week 23 was a full one — Some weekends you plan, and some weekends plan you. Week 23 had a fresh haircut, a car that wouldn't jump off, missionary friends from Peru, baptisms, and a Sunday worship encounter. The thread through all of it: when the presence of God shows up, your only job is to steward the moment.
