In a world filled with anxiety, chaos, and frightening powers, Daniel 7 lifts our eyes from the beasts of earth to the throne of heaven. Daniel sees a vision of kingdoms rising in violence and arrogance, leaving him shaken and alarmed. But just when fear seems overwhelming, Daniel sees a vision of a God clothed in white and seated on a throne with wheels of fire! This vision of God reminds us that while evil may appear powerful for a time, it is never ultimate. God’s judgment is pure, uncorrupted, and already in motion. In the New Testament, this same imagery is seen in Jesus Christ, who wears the white holiness of God and promises to clothe His people in his righteous robe. Join us at cefc.church

In this passage, we have a surprising encounter between Jesus, a woman caught in sin, and the Pharisees. In Jesus's interaction with the people, we see His compassion for us and also how seriously He takes sin. The story ends with Jesus saying: "Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more." Join us at cefc.church as we strive to live more like Christ.

Proverbs 25:13 shows us that a faithful messenger is like a cold drink on a hot day—refreshing and life-giving to the one who sent them. God sends us, and when we faithfully live and share the gospel without changing it, it brings life to others and genuinely pleases His heart. Join us at cefc.church.

Jesus went to the synagogue in his hometown and opened the scroll to the prophet Isaiah and made the bold claim that he fulfilled the wonderful prophecies of Isaiah 61. Jesus proclaims good news to the poor,  liberty to the captives, sight to the blind, and he set the oppressed free. Jesus proclaims the year of the Lord’s favor. Discover what these great promises mean for your life today! Join us at cefc.church.

Would you describe yourself as a religious person? Do “actions”, such as going to church regularly, define you as religious? Maybe you also pray, read your Bible, and give regularly. Some may fast occasionally or serve often. Does that make you a religious person? Many people in this world are extremely religious as defined by their faithful practice of “religious” actions as their prescribed path to God and to salvation. They are working hard at religion because they believe it is how someone pleases God and hopefully earns his blessing. But does it? What does God think of religious actions? Isaiah 58 answers these questions. Join us at cefc.church as we hear what God wants from us.

Are you empty, unsatisfied or looking for more? Isaiah 55 is God’s gracious invitation to everyone who is hungry for something satisfying. In this message, we explore the beautiful promise of “free food for the soul”.

Why do we spend so much of our lives chasing things that cannot satisfy? Learn how to come to Christ who gives living water, true bread, and joy that lasts. We’ll look closely at the call to COME, EAT, and SEEK.

If your heart is thirsty, if your soul feels empty, or if you’ve been running after what is unfulfilling, this message will remind you that God stands ready to give you what you cannot earn: life, joy, and peace in Him. We hope you'll join us at cefc.church.

Isaiah 53 gives us one of the clearest pictures of Jesus as the suffering Savior. Jesus carried our griefs, bore our sorrows, and took the punishment that brought us peace. 

Jesus is the only one who suffered perfectly, silently, and willingly. He is the innocent one who died so the guilty could go free. Because of His sacrifice, we can draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, knowing He understands our pain and has overcome it. Our response is active gratitude: loving Him, obeying Him, and telling others about the One who gave everything to save us.

How will you respond to the One who rescued you? Join us at cefc.church.
