Greed
Until you are willing to release what's in your hand, God won't release what's in His hand. As Gilbert wraps up "The 7 Deadly Sins" series he shares how that applies to us individually and corporately as we wrap-up our 14-year history of Exponential Church in just a few more weeks.

2024 Summer Baptisms at Exponential Church
That sounds more like a lesson from god. Less about numbers and was a calling about depth with what you have. Watching and waiting to hear that they are going to Costa Rica.
Prayers for your next steps brother! ❤
I’m concerned about the me centered message. What about Christ Centered? Don’t forget Christ is the head of the church. Closing vs developing new leadership so the church continues. Brother, I’ll will pray for you.
Lol, this should become Trump's Church.
God bless you brother! I have planted two churches and have been through some very hard stages along the way. It is a challenging calling but I have a ton of respect for you as you have followed God's leading and walked through open doors. May God bless you and your family as you discern next steps in your life and ministry.
So sad to hear, but at the same time so excited for your new chapter, Pastor Gilbert! I loved coming to Exponential when I was in PA, and prayers and blessings to you on your next adventure. God bless!! Robyn from NJ
Hi Gilbert. you and I had coffee together several years ago and you shared with me the steps that led you to start the church. Things don't always make sense according to our human reasoning, but your testimony resonated with me then and I believe you are doing the right thing now as well. I've moved to North Carolina and back to my home state of Indiana since we talked. I recently lost a high paying job (closed door) but God enabled me to buy a house and a newer vehicle before I lost that income. I'm on social security now and it is enough to pay my mortgage and my car payment, but I am praying for direction and open doors as well. God is faithful and He will provide for us all.
Praying for next steps, also, it cannot be understated the amount of courage and humility to decide to close. We have so many new churches in our area looking for a home, and so many churches that are in more dire shape than Exponential that will not close and be a blessing to others. Love the Kingdom-minded focus.
Don't know you or your church, the only word of wisdom I have is that an open door doesn't mean you should take that door, king David had multiple doors open by God to kill king Saul, the bible says in one instance that God put the people of the camp to sleep, but he didn't take advantage of those opportunities because he stayed true to the word of God and what God had told him despite the situation around him. I am not saying this applies in this situation or this doesn't apply here, just wanted to encourage every Christian to stay with what God's word says and not change because of eternal situations. Praying for the best.
God??
I really just dont get it, but .....
??
Apparently you didn't follow God's direction.
Why? God can do anything, including shutting down churches.
Blessings brother praying for you...don't know you guys but I love your hearts

Why does every church insist on painting the wall behind the stage black these days? And the sanctuaries are always kept dark. Did Christians become fearful of light or something? Sanctuaries are starting to look more like concert venues, while common areas look like cafes. Call me old fashioned, but I prefer traditional church design.
I'm from the Netherlands and I've gotta agree, they look more like concert venues than a church
It doesn't look anything like a church, look more like a bar with entertainment stage -- why would a church have a stage anyway?
@@johnmarquardt1991 The stage usually leads to a baptistry.
Amen!
Thank you so much for this video! Does anyone have anymore footage of this service?
Great work! Here is our church renovation ua-cam.com/video/UIboHu2pVAU/v-deo.html
Wonderful!... from your cousin
Thank you Gilbert Thurston from Exponential Church for visiting HATS and sharing this beautiful video. Karen shared the following ... "It was a pleasure to have you and the others at HATS spending time with the children. You are very welcome at HATS if you wish to return sometime. Thank you for the kind and encouraging words!" ~Karen.
Amen
Wooooooo
I appreciate your creativity, but here is a man that is clearly lost. He needs our prayers not this. I mean no disrespect, but I can find no humor in Charlie's downward spiral.
cool =] this exactly wat most churches need to b like. it doesnt matter who u are or wat u've done. just b urself 4 the first time in ur life, chill out, learn, n be forgiven =] my church is also like this 1.
