Mornings at YCBC

As we enter into the year 2021 we want to explore what we are called to as the church. As we delve into the caterpillar soup that was 2020 (and that continues into the beginning of 2021), we look at our calling to be transformed in this season.

Join us as Pastor Nick Barber shares with us the burgeoning vision that God has for His church in this coming season.

This January, as we take time to reasess, renew, and refresh, we are asking a very important question. How are you contending for your faith?

Join us this week as Pastor Nick Barber shares why maturity is not automatically attained with age, but a purposed choice to put away childish things (it definitely doesn't mean getting off the merry-go-round).

In what areas of your life in Christ are you going to seek greater maturity this year?

Join us this week as Pastor Nick Barber shares with us how easy it can be to be drawn into battles that we are not called to fight, with the wrong weapons, against those that are not actually your enemy.

“Time is your most precious gift, because you only have a set amount of it.”  

- Rick Warren

Our lives are busy. We have things to do, people to see, bills to pay. Extra time seems to be for most a luxury they cannot afford.

But who are we making time for? And are they breathing life into us, or stealing it from us? Listen to Steve Hill as he shares why making time for Jesus may just be the best thing you will ever do.

" No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is filled with such life."

In the immortal words of Fred Figglehorn, "I wanna be a celebrity". As we explore one of Jesus' most 'celebrity' moments this week, we are struck with a question. How much are we led by our desire to be admired?
