CBC Weekly Word

Join us this week as Pastor Tom shares about why the history of Pentecost is so important to the Christian faith today.

As Christians, we all look forward to what awaits in heaven - a perfect life in a perfect place. However, until we arrive in heaven, we have to continue to live imperfect lives in a very imperfect world. Join us as we begin a new sermon series that focuses on how to utilize God's insights and guidance as we confront day-to-day challenges. This week we begin by looking at the never-far-off challenge of stress.

As Christians we are often encouraged to pray for others, but did you know that under specific circumstances we are called NOT to pray for other believers! Join us this weekend as we wrap up our series on the book of 1 John and discover some spiritual truths that just might be new to you!

As Christians we typically think of "testimony" as someone telling others how much better their life has been since they've come to know Jesus. But there are other ways, and other things, that testify about Christ as well. This week we will discover how baptism, the shed blood of Christ, and the Holy Spirit all - in their own unique way - declare the value and importance of a relationship with Jesus.

Often on Mother's Day the sermon focuses on comparing moms and dads. But what happens if we compare moms with moms? Join us as we look at the lives of two key mothers found in the Bible and discover how being a good mom is not something that just happens automatically, but takes deliberate effort.

Most of us have old things we have difficulty parting ways with - an old, well broken in article of clothing, a favorite fishing pole, a cherished cooking utensil, etc. However, most of the time there comes a moment when we can't repair or refurbish the item even one more time and we have to replace it. This week the Apostle John teaches us the importance of newness in our spiritual lives as we look at the concepts of new beliefs, new birth, and new behavior.

Tests! Few of us grow up enjoying tests, but they are important in our lives. They inspire us to study what we've been taught. They also measure what we've actually learned. Join us this week as the Apostle John encourages us to "test the spirits" given the large amounts of misleading and just plain wrong information in our world regarding who God is, what He does, and who He desires to be in our lives.

Easter is a HUGE event, but what difference did it really make? Join us this weekend as we discover how Easter potentially changed everything in our lives - our past, present, and future!

Most of us make the connection between Palm Sunday and Jesus pretty quickly. But what about Palm Sunday, Jesus and...clouds?  Join us this week as Pastor Tod talks about how these three things are linked. You may never look at clouds the same way again!
