God doesn't shy away from our lowest moments. Actually, He meets us right there. If you feel stuck or desperate right now, this message is for you. Bruce Deel walks us through the journey God takes us on—meeting us in our Desperation, guiding us to a Decision, leading us to Discovery, revealing our God-given Duty, and finally, bringing us into Deliverance. We believe that God never intended for us to go through life alone. One of the most powerful ways we can respond to God's faithfulness is by making a difference in the lives of others. If you are looking for a practical next step to impact your community and the world, we invite you to participate in our Legacy Offering.

What if we could see the world the way God sees it? It’s easy to get focused on our own schedules, our own stress, and our own circles. But God sees the brokenness, the hunger, and the people waiting for hope right in our backyard and across the ocean. In this Gathering, Pastor JC Worley talks about shifting our perspective. From not just having good intentions, but also doing good works. This Sunday kicks off GO Church's annual Legacy Offering, happening all month long in December. Pastor JC looks back at what GO Church's generosity has already accomplished—from providing furniture to families in Israel displaced by war to helping men find freedom from addiction in Atlanta—we look forward to the opportunities in front of GO Church for 2026. We are inviting you to participate in the Legacy Offering! This isn't just about finances; it's a step of faith. It’s about obedience leading to abundance.

Jesus talked about money. A lot. It's one of the topics he covered most, not because he wanted something from us, but because he knew what money can do to us. Our generosity is often the greatest indicator of our spiritual health. We’re kicking off a brand new series, "Be Generous," and Pastor JC starts with one of the most confusing parables Jesus ever told: the story of the dishonest manager from Luke 16. It’s not a lesson praising dishonesty; it's a powerful call for "Holy Shrewdness." We are called to be faithful managers—not owners—of what God has given us, using temporary, worldly wealth to create a permanent, eternal impact. ➡️ New to GO Church? We’d love to connect with you.

What happens when you're called to step out of the boat and into the storm? Growth begins where comfort ends. In this powerful message, "Beyond the Boat: Stepping Into the Impossible," South Metro Atlanta Campus Pastor Sammy Pena shares a perspective-shifting word on life's storms. Drawing from Matthew 14, Pastor Sammy shares that: - Storms don't come to destroy you; they come to develop you. - Growth doesn't require a guarantee, just one step of obedience. - God will often disguise Himself as your fear before He reveals Himself as your deliverance. - Growth isn't perfection; it's progression. If you've been feeling stuck in your comfort zone or afraid to take the next step God is calling you to, this sermon is for you. It's time to walk on water. We’re so glad you’re with us today. Our heart is to love people to life, and we believe that starts right where you are. ➡️ New to GO Church? We’d love to connect with you. Visit: https://mygochurch.com/new ➡️

Ever wonder if your life is meant for more? What if your greatest purpose is found not just in what you receive, but in what you're sent to do? In this powerful message, our guest, Pastor Mo Huggins, unpacks one of the most important assignments Jesus gave his followers from Matthew 28. This message is a challenge for all of us. To stop waiting and start going. To see our neighborhoods, workplaces, and schools as our mission field. You don’t have to go halfway around the world to make a difference; you just have to be willing to go next door. If you’ve been looking for your purpose, this is it. ----- We’re so glad you’re with us today.

We spend 40% of our lives at work. Think about that for a second—that's a lot of time! If God knows we're spending 150,000 hours on the job, you can be sure He has a purpose for every single one of those moments. In this message, Pastor JC brings our "Made For Mondays" series to a close by challenging us to see our work not just as a paycheck, but as a mission field. Our jobs aren't meant to be a tension against our faith, but a place where our faith can shine brightly. Are you ready to see how God can use your job to change lives? You were created for a purpose, and what you do is a gift from God. The mission field is right where you are—in your cubicle, in the classroom, or on the field. Jesus wants to work through you, and He’s given you the greatest tools to do it: being aware, committing to prayer, showing care, and being ready to share your story. GO Church exists to love anyone from anywhere into a personal and growing relationship with Jesus Christ. We believe in lovin

Are you tired of the Monday grind? Do you feel like your job is just a burden, or that you have to compromise who you are just to fit in? What if God has a different plan for your work? This week at GO Church, Pastor JC continues our series Made for Mondays, and he's bringing a prophetic message directly from God's Word. You'll hear the powerful story of Daniel and his friends, who, while living in a pagan and hostile society (modern-day Babylon), chose not to run and not to compromise, but instead to prosper. This message is for anyone who feels stuck in a job or a world that's against their values. You'll learn how to live a life of uncompromising faith, build a foundation of faithfulness, responsibility, and trustworthiness, and ultimately, discover how God wants to use your work to bring His kingdom to life right where you are. You don't have to live a life of fear. You can live a life full of joy, purpose, and impact, and it all starts with living for the audience of one: Jesus! What is GO Church? GO

When Mondays Hit Hard: A Message of Hope What do you do when the world is in chaos? The news is filled with stories of evil and division. The devil is running wild, and it can be easy to lose hope. But what if there's another story happening? What if God is up to something? In this powerful message, Pastor JC challenges us to shift our perspective from the chaos around us to the hope we have in Jesus. He dives deep into the theology of work, reminding us that work was a part of God’s perfect plan from the very beginning. While sin may have made work difficult, it's not without purpose. In fact, our jobs can be a place where we find true meaning, passion, and fulfillment. This week, we learn that what you do matters, and God cares about your work because He cares about you. You may not be able to change your job, but you can change the way you see it. Pas

In this powerful message, Pastor Alan Mathura uses the story of Jonah to reveal that no matter how far you've run, you're never too far for a second chance. This isn't just a story about a man and a fish; it's a profound reminder that God's grace can find you in your darkest moments and set you on the path to your purpose. This isn't about ignoring the mess we've made. It's about realizing our biggest mistakes can be the setup for our greatest comeback.

In this powerful conclusion to our "Hope After Church Hurt" series, Joe Dobbins reveals how God is present in our trials, using challenges not to break us, but to build our faith. This message is a reminder that you can find unshakeable joy, not in your circumstances, but in Him. This isn't about ignoring the pain. It's about shifting your perspective to see God's purpose through it.

We’ve all heard the phrase: “Hurt people hurt people.” But what if church hurt doesn’t have to define you—or destroy your faith? In this powerful message, Pastor JC Worley unpacks how unresolved pain often spills over into relationships, breeding more hurt. Looking at biblical truth and real-life experiences, he reminds us that while people may wound us, God offers a path to healing, forgiveness, and restoration. This isn’t about minimizing pain. It’s about breaking the cycle of hurt and allowing Jesus to transform our response.

One of the most common reasons people give for leaving or avoiding the church is simple: “It’s full of hypocrites.” In this honest and challenging message, Pastor JC Worley confronts the reality of hypocrisy in the church and its devastating impact. Drawing from the story of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5, he shows how hypocrisy destroys trust, damages the witness of the church, and even separates us from God. But the good news is that what hypocrisy breaks, God’s truth and grace can heal.

Church hurt is real—but it doesn’t have to define you. In this compassionate and challenging message, Pastor JC Worley tackles the reality of pain caused by people within the church. Using the story of Hannah in 1 Samuel 1, he shows that even when leaders miss it, or fellow believers wound us, God offers healing and hope. This isn’t about pretending the hurt never happened—it’s about facing it, refusing to let it shape your view of God, and choosing to stay and heal instead of walking away.

Bishop Tom Madden kicks off Deeper Revival with a challenge to move beyond a comfortable, surface-level faith and go deeper in our relationship with God. Using the story of the man at the Pool of Bethesda and the metaphor of the "river of the Holy Spirit," Tom Madden encourages us to seek a divine dissatisfaction with our current position and dive all the way in to be refreshed and renewed by God. He emphasizes the importance of humility as the starting point for this river to flow in our lives and the transformative power it has not only for us but for those around us.

In the final episode of Binge the Bible, Executive Pastor Jeff Merriman explores the life of David, emphasizing that God is in the restoration business and uses our highs and lows to establish a sacred legacy in our lives. He highlights that God seeks a selfless, obedient, and repentant heart, just like David's. Pastor Jeff reminds us that God's covenant, through Christ, is based on grace, not works, and encourages surrendering our plans to God, as His "no" can lead to something better. The sermon concludes with the powerful truth that Jesus Christ, the true Son of David, is the eternal King.

You can't defeat what you won’t define. In this bold and truth-filled message, GO Church Westside Campus Pastor Liza Barney challenges us to stop softening sin and start calling it what it is. Using David’s fall with Bathsheba as a sobering illustration, this message isn't just about failure—it's about how God brings conviction to lead us toward freedom. Our culture may normalize compromise, but God calls us to live holy, honest, and set-apart lives.

Binge the Bible: Season 4 – The Life of David Episode 4: Grounded in the Highs & Lows (2 Samuel 5–6) Pastor Sammy Peña – South Metro Atlanta Campus Pastor – brings a message from the story of David. From caves to the crown, David's journey was filled with highs and lows, but one thing stayed constant: his heart for God. In this inspiring message, Pastor Sammy unpacks David’s rise to kingship in 2 Samuel 5–6, showing us what it looks like to stay grounded in seasons of success and growth. God didn’t just raise up a king—He strengthened a nation. And He wants to do the same in your life.

"David was anointed long before he was appointed." Before the crown came the cave. Before the throne, the trials. In this powerful message, Pastor Eric Stephens (GO Church Montgomery County, Maryland Campus Pastor) walks through one of the most tension-filled chapters of David’s life—when David had every reason and every opportunity to take revenge on King Saul, but chose patience, character, and trust in God's timing instead.

Today we looked at one of the most iconic battles in Scripture - David vs. Goliath. We were reminded that giants still show up in our lives. They may not carry swords, but they can still paralyze us with fear, doubt, or insecurity. “You come to me with sword, spear, and javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord.” (1 Samuel 17:45) David didn’t win because he was the strongest - he won because he was prepared and he knew who was fighting for him. Sometimes, the only one who believes you can win… is you. But if God is in you, that’s all you need. ✅ Name your Goliath. ✅ Be ready when the battle shows up. ✅ Silence the critics and stand firm in your calling. ✅ And trust that God will use what was meant to destroy you to develop you. Preparation in the quiet places is what brings victory in the public ones. You don’t wait until the battle to build your faith, you train now. Because the same power that raised Jesus from the dead live
