CBC Weekly Word

The holidays are upon us and we’ve probably started going through our “To-Do” list to prepare - purchase food, get clothes ready, clean the house (if you’re hosting), etc. But what about preparing ourselves spiritually? This weekend we will look at how to be ready to share about the “Guest of Honor” at both Thanksgiving and Christmas (i.e. God) and that it can be as easy as 1,2,3,4,5!

It’s easy to have faith when everything is going well. But what about when things aren’t going well or - at any given moment - have the potential to become tragic. Join us this weekend as we focus on the modern day persecuted church and seek to discover how to have the kind of steadfast faith they model, even in the midst of ongoing adversity and trials.

It’s Halloween weekend and though, as Christians, we have nothing to fear from the Evil One, that is not to say we should ignore him. Join us this week as we look to scripture for guidance so that we neither empower Satan, nor neglect his presence and influence to the detriment of a vulnerable world.

One of the hardest experiences we face is being confronted by a difficult situation or decision and feeling like we have to deal with it all by ourselves. Fortunately, as Christians, this is never true. This week we will be reminded that we are never alone and that life can always be a partnership if we’ll invite and allow God to join us.

We live in a world that is heavily reliant on power. However, the power we need most isn't fueled by power plants or refineries. Join us this weekend as we look at the greatest power - God's power - and how it can transform our lives and through us, the lives of others.

It's said that "where your mind goes your body follows." This is true physically AND spiritually. Join us this week as we discover the importance of making both good and godly choices in life.

For many in this "COVID Era" we have come to a place where our goal has become to just make it to the next day, to survive. But God has SO much more in store for us. Join us this weekend as we begin to discover how we can - as overcomers - move from "survive" to "thrive" and more fully experience and embrace the life desires for His followers.

Of all the resources God has given us, the most useful and indispensable is His word, the Bible! Join us this week as we discover some of what makes the Bible so extraordinary.

Is the glass half empty, or half full? Discover how our outlook can help us more fully experience and enjoy the life God desires for us.

This week, listen as Pastor Bret speaks about one of the "fruits of the spirit" that often gets very little press - self control.  The harsh reality is, a lack of self-control almost always leads to sin, but God has given us scripture and the Holy Spirit to help us!
