What do you do when your situation feels finished? In this Easter message, “Not Done Yet,” we walk through Luke 24:1–12 and discover the powerful truth at the center of the resurrection: what looks like the end is often where God is just getting started.  The women came to the tomb expecting defeat, but encountered life. The disciples struggled to believe, but began to move toward hope. And in the...

What does God actually give you in the wilderness? We all go through wilderness seasons: moments in life that feel scarce, isolating, and overwhelming. But what if the wilderness isn’t the end of your story? In this message, we close out our 6-week series “Finding Our Way Through the Wilderness” with one of the most powerful truths in Scripture: Jesus may not change the wilderness around you — but...

Have you ever had a moment where your expectations didn't match reality? Maybe in your health, your finances, your family or even your faith? You followed Jesus, you had the breakthrough moment, and then life said, "Actually… wilderness." In this message from Matthew 4:1–11, Pastor Chad will show us something that may change the way you see hard seasons: Jesus was led by the Spirit...

God wants the best for us. Because He loves us, He wants to form us into people marked by faith, hope, and love. Sometimes, He will test our dependence on Him for that purpose: not because we have to earn or prove anything, but just because tests reveal who we actually trust. Even when we fail a test, like Israel did in the wilderness, it is an opportunity to grow deeper in our trust and dependanc...

This week, we’re going to look at how God uses wilderness experiences to shape us and prepare us by looking at the life of King David. What does it mean that God shapes us and prepares us in the wilderness? The wilderness is a spiritual battle and God is bringing us back to an ever-greater reliance on Him. As we survive the wilderness the hope is that we will come out of it with greater wisdom, gr...

Have you ever found yourself in a place you didn’t choose…a season you didn’t pray for…a situation where life just felt unfair…where you felt isolated, rejected, lost or confused…where you wondered, ‘God, do You see me?’. The Bible calls that place the wilderness. It's a place where we go when life really pushes us out… We’ll see that: The wilderness is where expectations die… but revelation...

In the Bible, the wilderness is a harsh and hostile reality. And yet throughout Scripture, God uses this location to meet and transform His people. Today, we all journey through “wilderness” types of experiences in our lives, and no matter how or why we find ourselves in those situations, God will meet us and transform us during as well---as long as we choose to trust Him in the process. Discussio...

In a world that keeps speeding up and pressing in, God invites us into a different way of living. In this message from Romans 12:1–2, we explore how real change happens, not through willpower or behavior modification, but through the Spirit renewing our minds so we can respond like Jesus under pressure. Using the story of Moses and the battle of repeating narratives, you will learn a simple, pract...

In a season where everything feels louder, heavier, and more urgent, it’s easy to find ourselves emotionally reactive, overwhelmed, or spiritually exhausted. In this message, we explore how pressure doesn’t just test us—it reveals what’s already inside us. Drawing from 1 Peter 5:6–11, we’re reminded that humility isn’t weakness, surrender isn’t passivity, and resistance doesn’t look like outrage,...

In the final message of the Made for More series, we encourage the church to move from sitting to serving, from consuming to contributing, and from comfort to calling—stepping into a life of Spirit-empowered obedience and everyday mission. God has designed every believer on purpose and for a purpose, and He has already prepared assignments for us to walk in—right where we live, work, study, and se...

Following last week's introduction to Spiritual Gifts, we explore how our individual spiritual gifts are given within a community and for the benefit of a community. Every individual Christian has a unique design that includes their spiritual gifts, and God also designs entire Christian communities with the spiritual gifts given to individual Christians. Every church, especially C4 Church, ne...

In Built Different: Finding Your Place in the Body, we explore how God has uniquely designed each believer with purpose. Drawing from Ephesians 2 and Romans 12, this message reminds us that we are God’s workmanship and that every believer has been given spiritual gifts meant to build up the body of Christ. Rather than being spectators, we’re called to participate—using our gifts not for self-impor...

In the opening message of our Made for More series, we begin with a foundational truth: Every member is a minister. As the new year settles into everyday life, many of us wrestle with questions of purpose and belonging. Drawing from Ephesians 2:8–10, we’re reminded that while we are saved by grace, we are saved for good works. We are God’s workmanship—His poiema—intentionally designed and placed i...

Vision Sunday 2026 at C4 is a call to step into the new year not with more pressure, but with more presence. In this message, Pastor Chad unpacks why so many of our resolutions fail and why willpower alone can never carry what only inner transformation can sustain. Rather than sprinting into January exhausted and overwhelmed, we’re invited to see this moment as fertile ground for a move of God. Dr...

On the final Sunday of 2025, this message calls the church to pause, reflect, and wake up to what God is doing. It reminds us that we often don’t recognize “last moments” until they’ve passed, and invites us to ask where we may have been spiritually asleep. Centered on Jesus’ life of prayer and the Lord’s Prayer, the message encourages simple, honest, and daily dependence on God as we step into a...

At Christmas, we celebrate more than a moment in history—we celebrate a miracle that changes everyday life. In “The Miracle of God With Us,” we explore how our deepest longings for hope, peace, joy, love, and belonging were never meant to be rare or unreachable, but part of God’s design for life with Him. Through Matthew 1 and Isaiah 9, we see Jesus not only as Savior, but as Immanuel—God with us—...

In the final week of our Advent series, “Expecting God,” we’ll unpack one of the most overlooked, but most inspiring figures in the Christmas story: Anna. Just like runners who hit “The Wall” at Mile 20 during a marathon, many of us know what it feels like to grow weary while waiting on God. Through Anna’s decades of heartbreak, loss, devotion, and unwavering worship, we discover what expectancy t...

Unmet expectations can potentially dull our faith. But even in our disbelief, God remains faithful! Zechariah and Elizabeth, a righteous couple who served God their entire lives, longed for a child, but years of disappointment dulled their hope. Nevertheless, God heard their prayers. When God sent word of an imminent miracle, Zechariah couldn't believe it --- and his silence became a space fo...

This weekend we talk about the tension between expectations and expectancy . We all walk into the Christmas season carrying hopes, plans, and pressures — and when God doesn’t meet our expectations, discouragement can creep in. But Mary shows us a better way. When her plans were disrupted, she moved from control to surrender…from “God, do it my way” to “Lord, let it be according to Your word.” Expe...

In Luke 5, Levi left his booth and made room for Jesus. God looks for people who make room in presence. This message challenges us to create space — not by simply slowing down, but by showing up with intention, focus, and faith. To love others whole heartedly, purely and genuinely we must encounter the Lord. How might our very lives live the gospel of Jesus Christ and be the invitation for others...

This week at C4, Stephanie Anderson continues our series Setting the Table with a powerful reminder that presence matters more than perfection. Through the story of the road to Emmaus in Luke 24, we see how Jesus reveals Himself in simple moments—especially around the table. When we choose gratitude, pursue His presence, and open our lives with genuine hospitality, God multiplies our impact far be...

When life feels like “not enough,” Jesus shows us another way. In Luke 9:10–17, the disciples stare at their lack; Jesus looks up and gives thanks—then thousands are fed. In this message, we’ll unpack how gratitude changes what we notice, how grateful people become available people, and why abundance is for stewarding, not hoarding. Discussion Questions: Read Luke 9:10–17. What differences do you...
