Pastor Joshua Strader explores how Sabbath helps us place work in its proper place within our lives.

He'll show how weekly times of rest from work actually help us to protect our priorities, better understand why God calls us to work, and enriches our work in the other six days by creating unique space in our lives for other activities that ground us in Christ. 

Pastor Joshua Strader begins a new sermon series that explores six dimensions of what it truly means to rest and find renewal in God through the gift of Sabbath. 

Pastor Joshua Strader concludes our series, "The Seven Seals of Revelation" by taking a deep look at Revelation 9 to learn how the knowledge of God's judgement tomorrow, motivates our faith and and mission today.

Pastor Joshua Strader teaches on the final seal--The Seven Trumpets.  As all of heaven pauses, God begins his final preparations on the earth before the return of the Lamb.  

Tune in as we learn about the Seven Trumpets of Revelation, what they have to do with God's ultimate plan of redemption for the earth, and how we as God's followers can be watching and preparing for these events in our current times.

Pastor Joshua Strader speaks on Father's Day and discusses three principles found in Deuteronomy 6 that instruct fathers how to leave a powerful, God-oriented legacy with their children and grandchildren.

Pastor Joshua Strader continues his series on The Seven Seals of Revelation by looking at the great revival that happens in the middle of a storm (Revelation 7). As is often the case, God is always at work drawing people into His salvation even amidst the most unusual and unlikely situations.

Tune in as we learn more about how God's grace transcends our most intense challenges and hardship.

Pastor Joshua Strader continues his series on the book of Revelation by diving into Revelation 6:9-17. We'll learn about the Lamb opening the fifth and six seals and the appearance of martyrs and cosmic signs ushering forth the return of Jesus.  

As we prepare ourselves and the world for these coming events, we'll learn about the one thing that stops Satan dead in his tracks and the one thing that no trial or tribulation can take from those who are in Christ.

Pastor Joshua Strader continues his series, "The Seven Seals of Revelation." While popular culture and fiction writers have given their own interpretations of what the final "tribulation" on earth will look like, we'll take a honest look at how Christ himself has described these events.  As the Lamb begins to take back the title deed of the earth from Satan, the first seals are opened and four horseman appear--bringing with them earth-shaking tribulation and the fulfillment of God's promises of judgment and restoration.  

What will it be like for those living during the time of the four horseman?  Why did Jesus forewarn us about these excruciating events to come?  How do they fit into God's plan of final redemption and recreation?  And what can we do today to prepare for the most challenging period that will ever befall humankind? 

Pastor Joshua Strader provides a message on where CMC stands at the 18 month mark and who God is shaping us to be.

Pastor Joshua Strader continues his series, "The Seven Seals of Revelation," with a look at Revelation 5.  He explores what Jesus has to do with the unveiling of the "scroll" of God's final plans for humanity.
