During Born Wild Weekend at Cherry Hills Community Church, Todd Pierce from Riding High Ministries shared a moving message about our relationship with God. Using the live illustration of taming an unbroken horse on stage, he showed how God patiently pursues us, even in our resistance and fear. As the horse slowly began to trust and respond, it reflected the journey of surrender and connection God desires with each of us. Todd emphasized that God invites us into relationship through love and grace. The message powerfully demonstrated that even in our wildest, most broken moments, God is near—ready to redeem and restore.

In the final weekend of the We Believe series, Pastor Curt Taylor shared a powerful message titled "Love God, Love People", calling the church to live out its faith through action. He emphasized that love is not just a belief we hold, but a mission we carry—one that must reach beyond the church walls. Pastor Curt challenged Cherry Hills Community Church to be a tangible expression of Christ’s love in the local community. He reminded us that when the church steps into places of need, hope is restored, and lives are transformed.

In week 2 of the "We Believe..." series at Cherry Hills Community Church, Pastor Curt Taylor spoke about the transformative power of authentic community, a core church value known as "Love Experienced." Drawing from Acts 2:42-47, he emphasized how the early church was marked by deep devotion, shared lives, and radical generosity that revealed God's love in tangible ways. Pastor Curt contrasted this with the sobering account of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5:1-6, warning how hypocrisy can disrupt true community. He reminded the church that experiencing God's love happens most fully in honest, committed relationships with others. The message challenged us to move beyond surface-level connections and live as a Spirit-filled community where love is experienced and shared daily.

In Week 1 of the "We Believe..." series at Cherry Hills Community Church, Pastor Curt Taylor delivered a message titled "What Does Real Worship Look Like?" He emphasized that worship is far more than the songs we sing on Sunday—it’s the way we live every day. Pastor Curt challenged the congregation to see worship as a lifestyle marked by surrender, obedience, and love for God and others. He reminded us that real worship happens when our hearts, words, and actions align with God's will. Ultimately, the message called believers to live lives that reflect God’s worth, not just during church services, but in every moment.

At Cherry Hills Community Church on Mother’s Day Weekend, Debra Fileta shared a powerful and encouraging message based on her new book Soul Care. She talked about how taking care of your soul—emotionally, mentally, and spiritually—is just as important as taking care of your body. Debra encouraged everyone to be honest about what’s really going on inside and to let God into those deeper places. She reminded us that healing doesn’t happen by accident—it takes intention, courage, and faith. Her talk was full of hope, honesty, and practical advice for anyone ready to start their own soul care journey.

In his message at Cherry Hills Community Church, Pastor Gary Thomas emphasized that parenting is more often caught than taught. He explained that children learn far more from the behavior they observe than from the words they hear. Parents, he said, must become the example they want their children to follow—living out the values, integrity, and faith they hope to see reflected in their kids. Pastor Gary encouraged moms and dads to focus less on perfect lectures and more on consistent, authentic living. Ultimately, he reminded the congregation that the most powerful parenting tool is a life well-lived.

In his message at Cherry Hills Community Church, Pastor Gary Thomas emphasized that every marriage needs a God-given mission to truly thrive. Using Matthew 6:33, "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well," he challenged couples to prioritize God's purpose over personal happiness. Pastor Gary explained that when spouses unite around serving God's kingdom, their relationship grows stronger and more meaningful. He encouraged husbands and wives to ask, "How can our marriage advance God's work in the world?" Ultimately, he reminded everyone that a mission-driven marriage reflects Christ’s love and brings lasting fulfillment beyond what self-focused living can offer.

On Easter Sunday morning, Pastor Curt Taylor spoke at Cherry Hills Community Church about how the entire Bible centers around Jesus. He explained that from the very beginning in Genesis to the final words of Revelation, the story consistently points to Christ. Pastor Curt highlighted how even the Old Testament, often overlooked, lays the foundation for understanding who Jesus is and why He came. He encouraged the congregation to approach Scripture with the awareness that it ultimately reveals God's plan through His Son. The message was powerful and clear, offering a deeper way to read and connect with the Bible.

In his Palm Sunday message at Cherry Hills Community Church, Pastor Curt Taylor explored the deep sense of disappointment the disciples felt as the week unfolded—not the triumphant rise they expected, but a confusing descent into suffering. As Jesus entered Jerusalem to shouts of "Hosanna," the disciples anticipated a conquering king who would overthrow Rome and establish earthly power. Instead, they witnessed their Messiah riding a donkey, speaking of sacrifice, and ultimately heading toward a cross. Pastor Curt reminded us that God’s plans often clash with our expectations, and in the disciples' disillusionment, we see a reflection of our own struggles to trust when the path takes a painful turn. Yet even in the midst of their disappointment, Jesus was fulfilling a far greater purpose—one that would bring eternal hope through the paradox of the cross.
