Prayer for the Day: Lord, here I am, send me. Use me. Witness through me. There’s a eld in my home. There’s a eld in my neighborhood. There’s a eld on my job. There’s a eld in this city. There’s a eld in my family. Oh God, forgive me for not praying; forgive me for not witnessing. Forgive me if I have not really believed that I can reap a harvest for You. I want to You to use my inuence, my afuence, and everything that I have to reach the lost for Your glory right where I am! Father, I ask You to use me as a light to a dark dying world. I give You glory and I give You praise for all that You will do through me.

Prayer for the Day: Lord, my esh is weak, but Your Promise is, They that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength (Isaiah 40:31). I am waiting on You today and asking You to ll me with new strength. Fill me with Your Spirit. As I seek Your face, I praise You that I will not get weary! I receive Your strength in my body and in spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Thank You, Holy Spirit, Comforter, and Counselor. I need you to take control of this situation. Fill me with Your power; I worship you. Hallelujah.

Prayer for the Day: Touch my heart, oh God. I don’t want to be cold and I don’t want to be hard hearted. I want to be tender. I want to be sensitive. I want to show the world your compassion and grace. I want Your anointing on me. Please touch my heart.

You are not alone Pastor Kevin had a great word for us this morning! God is always with us and will never leave us. This week, as we celebrate Christmas, we can remember that:... -It’s not about our presents, but His presence -God’s silence is not His absence -He is with you And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Matthew 28:20 If you missed this encouraging message, or if you need to hear it again, you can find it on our YouTube channel! #Godwithus #Immanuel #MerryChristmas

A miscalculation led to a slight detour for the wisemen as they continue their trek through the Gardena Valley campus. Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace at all times and in every way. 2 Thessalonians 3:16 #GVAWanderingWisemen #Detour #WanderingWisemen

Bring an ornament this Sunday that represents you or your family for our 2020 Family Christmas Tree. We are so excited to see how our tree will look by the end of the 10:30am service! There are so many wonderful people in our GVA Family . This is also a great weekend to invite guests to celebrate with us! (Please do not bring ornaments that have personal valuable or are breakable)

The world tries to make us believe that we are destined to live in fear, despair, and bondage. Some of our worst decisions are made when we embrace these lies and feel trapped in this mindset. However, we can fully rejoice knowing that Jesus has overcome the world. We are not forsaken, and we are not forgotten. He has us right where we should be and where we can advance His kingdom in mighty ways. Rejoice! Oh, how my soul praises the Lord. How my spirit rejoices in God my S...avior! Luke 1:46-47 Additional verses that include this word Rejoice: Matthew 5:12, 1 Peter 1:8, 1 Peter 4:13, Revelation 19:7 #WednesdayWord #Rejoice

The wisemen tag along with Pastor Brian as he gets ready for tomorrow’s Rise student ministry service. I have written to you, young men (and women!), because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one. 1 John 2:14. #GVAwanderingwisemen #youthnight #wednesday #victory

Just a reminder that Jesus can bring light to the darkest of situations. Praying you have a great week full of confidence in the One who brings hope to all areas of life. Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:6 #MondayMindset #Hope #Jesus
