Pie and Praise Night
Today | November 23 | 5:00pm-7:00pm | GCC
Bring your favorite pie to share and join us for our Pie and Praise night. We will have a time of corporate singing, give thanks to God through personal testimonies and prayer, and fellowship together. You will be invited to share your answers to these questions: How are you grateful for the Lord’s work in your life over the last year? And, how has the Lord displayed His faithfulness to you?
GCC 2026 Budget Proposal
Our last budget Q & A is today, November 23, following the morning worship service. We will have a brief member meeting on Sunday, December 14 after the morning worship service to vote on the final budget.

Thank you church family for sending 15 boxes! Because of your generosity, 15 children around the world will receive a gift this Christmas and hear about the gospel of Jesus through the ministry of Samaritan’s Purse. I’m grateful for your participation this year. – Pastor David

Sermon Discussion Questions
1. How did Naaman react to the messenger Elisha sent him? In what ways are we tempted to stubbornly refuse the commands and “great words” of the Lord, which are intended for our good (vs. 11-12)? How should we respond?
2. How is the confession of Naaman and the behavior of Gehazi an indictment of Israel both then and in the days of Jesus (see Luke 4:25-27)? How should Naaman’s healing and conversion encourage us as Christians?
3. Which characters encourage Naaman towards the one true God in the story? How do these “heroes of the faith” encourage us to take the gospel to others?
4. Look at how the various characters respond to the offer of gifts/wealth in this chapter. How do their responses reveal the content of their faith? What about Elisha’s response in particular is worth imitating?
5. How would you describe the book of 2 Kings in a short sentence or two? Why do God’s people need this book of the Bible? How has it brought encouragement to you so that you might have hope?
