Community Fellowship Church

What would you say to someone who says that you are only a Christian because of your parents or your background? Can you be born into Christianity? Join us this weekend as we look at the idea that your faithfulness is a choice.

Do you get fired up about being part of something bigger than yourself? Does the idea of being used by God to do something great sound inspiring? Join us this weekend as we look at the ministry of Paul and see what the scripture has to say about how we can be a part of more kingdom work.

Is it ok to smoke marijuana, watch R-rated movies, drink alcohol, wear skin-tight clothing, have a tattoo, and have unfiltered access to the internet (all at once-Ha!)? What does the Bible say about these things? The truth is that some of these things are not as 'black and white' as we might think. We see right and wrong through various lenses. How should we decide what to do in the 'gray' areas of life? Join us this weekend to explore.

At Corinth they struggled with discontent, always looking to improve their status in some way. Paul encourages them to "remain" in the condition they are in. Join us this weekend to explore the dynamics of discontent and how to have an undivided heart towards Jesus. Also, to all 565 of our volunteers, we want to say thank you!

Are you satisfied with your relationship status? Do you feel that life would be more fulfilling if you just had a partner or if your partner were different? Join us this weekend as we turn to 1 Corinthians 7 to see what God has to say about how your relationship status can be fulfilling.

We are excited about seven people who will be baptized this weekend. Come to hear their story and consider inviting a friend. After that we are planning a message about prayer. As we prepare ourselves for this next season of going to a second site and being a light in an increasingly more turbulent world, we want to be sure that we are a praying church and a praying people. Join us this weekend as we encourage each other around the topic of prayer.

Like today, Greek culture said that the body does not affect the soul, that food and sex are just natural appetites, and if you are hungry, you eat, and if you feel sexual, have sex. The Bible, on the other hand, tells us that culture is deceiving us, driving us to follow our passions, and the results are devastating on our lives and our communities. We find a lot of brokenness around us because of people who just follow the lusts of their flesh. So, what is the answer? Do we deny that we have these lusts? Join us this weekend as we look at God's design on how to handle our desires.

What role do the people around you play in shaping who you become? What if it was true that you are being shaped and molded right now by your community? Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

We can get comfortable, like the Corinthians in their super-city (settle in, don't make waves, ride the cultural trends and bide our time). Paul, as a spiritual father gets a little sarcastic to reveal their hidden attitudes. He challenges them to dare to be different. He shows by example what it means to be a disciple-maker instead of deadweight. Join us this weekend to be challenged as a follower of Jesus.

What is the mark of a heart radically changed by Jesus?

"I help people", "I share all kinds of advice,…"? Is it found in virtuous behavior?

I don't think so. You can do all the right things filled with fear or pride or the desire to be noticed, or to feel good about yourself. So, what does it mean to have hearts that are changed at the root by the grace of God? How would you see that or recognize it?

I believe the answer is found in our text this week.
