CCF Sunday Messages

Sometimes we don't get the full effect of the scenes in the Bible--so Pastor Steve took time to explain the role and reputation of a tax collector during the time that Jesus walked the streets of Galillee. Having done that we understand the power of the story of Matthew (Levi) being called by Jesus to "Follow me." in Mark 2! We are also called to have this connection to sinners, to be inviting them and spending time with them to share the good news of God's salvation with them.

Pastor Troy Warner from CC Lynchburg gave us a challenging and encouraging message from Revelation 3, the letter to the church of Philadelphia.

Finishing the fast-paced first chapter of Mark, we find the story of a leper whom Jesus heals completely, possibly requiring for the first time ever the ritual of Leviticus 14 to be performed by the priests! Pastor Steve applies the truths of this story as well as looking at the pictures of Christ found in the law and rituals regarding skin diseases from Leviticus.

Who is the world following? What does it mean to "follow Jesus"? In this message, Pastor Steve takes us through Mark's brief overview of the selection of Simon (Peter), Andrew, James and John as his first disciples, adding to the story from the account in Luke 5.
