CCF Sunday Messages

Jesus tackles a difficult (and meant to be tricky) question regarding marriage and divorce in front of the religious leaders. The questions around divorce and marriage are still difficult today, and Pastor Steve showed both God's standard from Genesis (as Jesus did) as well as God's grace for our failings in this opening section from Mark 10.

Dr. Jason Lisle from the Institute for Creation Research shared a message titled "Your Origins Matter," describing the critical role of Genesis as the foundation of our Christian faith. Without this foundation much of what we hold to crumbles when the church gives up Genesis as the historic, biblical account of creation and beginnings.

Continuing in Mark chapter 9, we come to the story of the man whose son is possessed by a demon with severe seizures and destructive behavior as a result. The disciples are unable to cast out the demon, but Jesus in His compassion and power does heal the boy, as the father gives that great confession: "I believe. Help my unbelief!" Pastor Steve applied the readiness of Jesus through a life of prayer and fasting to our own need for a regular commitment to prayer and fasting to be filled with God's spirit and power for whatever challenges we will face.

Pastor Steve begins Mark chapter 9, which opens with the story of the transfiguration. What an interesting an awesome set of events for the trio of James, Peter, and John to experience in the presence of a glorified Jesus! Listen in to hear what this means for us and how we might apply the details of this event recorded by Mark to our own lives.

Pastor Warren finished chapter 8 of Mark, looking at the serious call to take up our cross and follow Jesus no matter the cost. Warren used stories from around the globe on the persecution of the church to encourage us and challenge us to our own level of commitment to follow Christ no matter the cost.
