CBC Weekly Word

Most people are already aware of the everyday perks of a day filled with light, but did you know there are also spiritual advantages as well? Join us in our continuing series in 1 John as we discover the eternal joys and benefits of being people who live in the light!

Join us this weekend as we begin a study of the book of 1 John and hear the Apostle John reflect back  on his life and share some final thoughts on what it means to be a faithful follower of Jesus.

As we begin a new year, we know that it's important to have goals and to have SMART goals. However, it won't matter how Smart the goals if we don't START the goals! This week we will be looking at taking the steps that help ensure we actually begin working on the goals we believe God has laid upon our hearts for 2022.

It's a new year, but beyond the date, is there anything new in your life? This weekend we discuss how we can be deliberate about experiencing a new dimension to our walk with Jesus - how we can be productive and effective, how we can thrive in the midst of any circumstances in life. Join us as we discover practical steps to making 2022 something extraordinary!

Christ is born - Emmanuel - God is with us! Join us this week as Pastor Tod speaks about what it truly means to have God WITH us.

We know that Mary and Joseph traveled to Bethlehem where Jesus was born. However, is there something God desires to teach us through the actual journey itself from Nazareth to Bethlehem? This week we will look at the journey and discover how Mary and Joseph used the "unseen" to help them find peace in the midst of the "seen: which - from a human perspective - was pretty discouraging.

Joseph was in crisis. He'd heard news that he wanted to believe but which was contrary to everything he knew about life. What was he to do? Join us this weekend as we learn from Joseph's conversation with Mary and with an angel, and how these encounters can guide us when we face our own crisis of faith.

How Christmas looks is often time determined by one's perspective - as parent, child, store owner, retail worker, etc. But imagine what Christmas looked like through the eyes of one who was there! This weekend we will be viewing Christmas through the eyes of Mary, the mother of Jesus, in the hope that this will give us a better understanding of Mary, ourselves, and God.

When we think about Christmas we typically remember Mary, Joseph, Jesus, the angels, the shepherds, and the wise men, but what about John the Baptist? As we begin the advent season, we will be looking at an often forgotten character in the Christmas narrative and discover that what John would later say about Jesus the adult Messiah, also applies as we gaze upon Jesus the new born Savior.

At Thanksgiving we often reflect on what we’re thankful for, but do we remember to reflect on the other, maybe even more important question - Who are we grateful to? Join us this weekend as we discover together the answer to both these questions as a part of our weekend worship.
