What does it mean to be salt and light in a dark and dying world? As we reflect on the tragic loss of Charlie Kirk last week, we hear Christ's call that we be peacemakers, confronting sin and darkness with the light of the Gospel. "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places" (Ephesians 6:10-12, NASB) Interested in learning about CBC?

Begins around 11 A.M.

"Pride is the posture of the devil." As we continue our series on Luke 14, we work through Jesus's parable about the consequences of pride and the recognition of humility. Pride is a perilous condition and a barrier to grace, as Scripture repeatedly tells us: "God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble."

What happened when the Pharisees invited Jesus to lunch? How does He turn this meal into a lesson about compassion & self-righteousness? Luke 14 confronts us with the peril of clinging to extra-biblical commandments, as we're asked whether we see our own bondage to trusting in everything we have (or haven't) done.

"All of these stories drive us to the fact that in the Kingdom, I recognize, as a very core principle of my citizenship, that I am forgiven of a magnitude of sin that I cannot comprehend." In Luke 15, we witness God welcoming sinners and showing generosity to the undeserving. In the same chapter, we find the Old Testament story of Jacob & Esau -- a story Jesus uses to teach us about compassion, forgiveness, and acceptance.
