Today we continue our series, “Goodbye Old, Hello New”. Specifically, we’ll look at what it means to have a new mind. In order to really say hello to the new this year, we just might have to trade in our old mind for a new one. Thinking patterns that haven’t served us well should motivate us toward new thinking. Two questions we’ll work through in this message are: "What does it mean to be transformed by the renewing of the mind?" "How can I have the mind of Christ?" Can you imagine? New mind, new thoughts, NEW LIFE!

Today we continue our series, “Goodbye Old, Hello New”. Our focus will be on what it means to establish new healthy habits. You may have heard it said, “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks”. What if, no matter what stage of life you’re in, you could develop new habits? Saying goodbye to old/bad habits and hello to new/Christ-like habits is an important part of moving forward toward the new thing God wants to do in your life. Let’s talk more about it.

Today we continue our series, “Goodbye Old, Hello New”. Our focus will be on what it means to be a new creation. What does the Bible mean when it says, “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature”? We’ll talk about how this works and what we can do to, once and for all, experience a new life. What is impossible for us is possible with God.

Today is the first day of the year 2012. It could also be the first day of the rest of your life. What do I mean? Well, the new year always presents us with opportunities to choose new ways of doing things. However, one of the hardest things to do is to put the past behind us. If we’re really going to get it all right this year, we’re going to have to say “Goodbye Old, Hello New!” The bible has something to say about it all and we’ll talk about it in this podcast. This year can be different for you if, once and for all, you put God first.

Welcome to Community Bible Church Corpus Christi. How special it is to come to church on Christmas Day! Here at CBC Corpus we’ve been “Rediscovering Christmas” by re-affirming “The Greatest Gift of All: Jesus Christ”. Perhaps, for you, this season is filled with sadness, despair and sorrow. It is no accident you’re here today. Fear has gripped many this past year because of economic, relational and various challenges. In Luke 2 we read how the shepherds were afraid and the Angel of God came to calm their fears by bringing them good news. That may be what you need; good news. For us, the birth of Jesus means real hope for tomorrow; peace in the midst of chaos; strength for the tough stuff of life. Christmas is Christ; your hope for healing and wholeness. It is my prayer that you and yours would experience God’s best this Christmas. In His Love, Pastor Ed

It may be hard to believe, or not, that some find this season difficult and depressing. Life has come down hard and hope is hard to find. What do you do when all hope is lost? Can or will you ever be the same again? Good news! Against all odds, there is still hope. Honestly, we find the hope we need only in Christ. Our hope for Christmas is the Hope of Christmas; Jesus Christ!

The setting for the institution of the Lord’s Supper was the feast of Passover. This had reminded Israel of God’s mighty redemption of His people from Egypt, but it had also been a redemptive type of the coming Savior. What then does the Lord’s Supper mean to us?

Romans Chapter 6 will help us better understand what baptism is all about. Being buried and resurrected with Christ is dying to the old life and rising to new life; dead to sin, alive to Christ!

Fasting is one of the most powerful yet least practiced and undersood disciplines of the Christian life. There are times in life when we must abstain from something to gain something. Some things only come through prayer and fasting.

What exactly is prayer and how do you do it effectively? What about fasting? Is it relevant today or not? Communication is the life blood of any relationship; it's no different with God. When we're synced up in prayer, God can consistently update and renew us. Without prayer there's no power.
