You had questions, and Paul had answers! Q&A Sunday gave our church family the opportunity to ask honest questions and hear thoughtful, biblical responses. Listen here to catch the full conversation!

Worship is easy when life is good. But how do we worship when life hurts? In Job 2, we see a man who experiences unimaginable suffering yet continues to hold on to his integrity and faith in God. Through Job’s story and personal experiences with grief and loss, we’re reminded that we may never understand why certain things happen, but we can still trust in who God is. God’s promise isn’t a life fr...

Does being a good person get us into heaven? Many people believe that living a good life is enough, but what does the Bible say? In this message, we look at Romans 3 and the difference between our righteousness and God's righteousness. No matter how hard we try, our good works cannot meet God's perfect standard. But through faith in Jesus Christ, we can receive the righteousness God freely offers...

Worship is more than a Sunday service or a set of songs. It is a posture of the heart that recognizes Jesus as King and calls us to live our lives in surrender to Him. In this message, we explore what it means to be a New Testament church; a community of people who love Jesus, love one another, and love those who are far from God. The New Testament repeatedly calls us to “love one another,” but th...

What does it look like for our worship together on Sunday to become a life we live together every day? In this message from our Worship Together series, we explore what it means to follow Jesus together; not just by attending church, but by becoming part of the community God designed His church to be. Looking at Romans 12:3–8, we see how each person has a unique role and gift, and how we need one...

What does it look like to truly be the church? In this message from our Worship Together series, we explore Acts 2 and the early church’s commitment to living life together. A healthy church is more than a Sunday gathering. It’s a community where people are known personally, loved practically, and supported spiritually. Discover why meaningful relationships and smaller circles of connection are es...

What comes to mind when you hear the word “church”? For many people, it’s a building, a worship service, or even a denomination. But Jesus had something very different in mind. In this message, we look at what it means for the church to be a community of people with a shared purpose. Rather than spectators and consumers, Jesus calls us to be a family marked by relationships, connection, togetherne...

What motivates your worship? In Matthew 6, Jesus warns us not to practice our faith simply to be seen or approved by others. Our worship is meant for an audience of one: God. In this message, we look at the difference between seeking the reward of human approval and experiencing the blessing that comes from living for God’s approval. We’re also reminded that our relationship with God isn’t based o...

Worship is not ultimately about what we do or how we do it. It's about who we're worshiping and why. In Matthew 6:1–18, Jesus warns His followers to be careful not to practice their righteousness for the purpose of being seen by others. Whether we're giving, serving, praying, singing, or reading Scripture, even good and faithful practices can become something different when our desire shifts towar...

Jesus warns us about the danger of hypocrisy; of becoming more concerned with how others see us than how God sees us. In this message, we look at what it means to stop pretending and come before God with our most honest selves. God isn't looking for actors or pretenders. He wants us as we are: imperfect and sincerely seeking to follow Him. When we worship, we're invited to drop the mask and give G...

What does Jesus really care about when it comes to worship? In Matthew 6:1–18, Jesus warns His followers to be careful about practicing their righteousness for the approval and applause of others. Whether we’re giving, praying, fasting, serving, singing, or living out our faith, the question isn’t simply what we’re doing or how we’re doing it. The deeper question is: Who are we worshiping, and why...

The cross is brutal. It’s difficult to look at, difficult to understand, and difficult to sit with. And yet, Jesus gave us communion to bring us back to it, to remember the seriousness of sin and the incredible cost of our salvation. In this message, we look at the crucifixion of Jesus through the lens of the Passover lamb and the significance of the fact that none of His bones were broken. What h...

What does your money reveal about your heart? In this message from our Worship Is a Way of Life series, we explore what Scripture teaches about worship and finances through Matthew 6, 2 Corinthians 9, and 1 Timothy 6. Jesus reminds us that where our treasure is, our heart will be also. Together, we'll wrestle with three questions every follower of Christ should ask: Is my money fully surrendered t...

Can watching the big game, taking a vacation, playing golf, fishing, or simply relaxing actually be worship? In this message from the Worship Is a Way of Life series, Pastor Paul challenges the idea that following Jesus means giving up everything enjoyable. Instead, Scripture reveals that God created us to experience rest, joy, and pleasure as gifts from Him. Through the wisdom of Ecclesiastes, yo...

What if worship is more powerful than you realize? Guest speaker, Pastor David Martin, explores Acts 16 and the story of Paul and Silas to show how worship isn't just something we do on Sundays—it's a lifestyle that transforms our hearts and reminds us of who God is. Through personal testimony and biblical teaching, this message encourages believers to worship in every season, trusting that God me...

Technology shapes nearly every part of our lives, but how is it shaping our hearts? In this message, The Theology of Technology, we explore what it means to follow Jesus in a digital world. Rather than asking whether technology is good or bad, this message challenges us to consider who we are becoming through the devices we use every day. Scripture reminds us that we were created as embodied peopl...

What does it look like to worship God with your body? In this message from “Worship Is a Way of Life,” we explore the biblical truth that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit and are meant to be used for God’s purposes. Worship is more than singing songs on Sunday—it’s surrendering every area of life to Jesus, including what we do with our bodies. This sermon looks at: What it means that the...

Marriage was designed by God with purpose. But what does it look like to worship God through the way we love and serve our spouse? In this message from “Worship Is a Way of Life,” we explore God’s design for marriage and the four words that shape a Christ-centered relationship: oneness, commitment, love, and respect. Through Scripture, we discover how marriage can reflect the love of Christ and be...

Worship begins with seeing God for who He truly is. In this message from Cibolo Creek Community Church’s Worship Is a Way of Life series, we look at how our view of God determines the way we worship God. When our understanding of Him becomes blurry or incomplete, our worship can become distorted—but when we see Him clearly, our lives naturally respond in surrender and devotion. Looking at Exodus 3...

In this message Paul challenges parents to think beyond academic achievement, athletic success, and earthly accomplishments to consider what matters most: preparing their children for eternity. Drawing from Psalm 127, Proverbs 22, and Ephesians 6, we explore God's design for parenting and reminds us that children are a gift entrusted to our care. As followers of Jesus, raising children is more tha...

What if you truly believed you were forgiven? In this special communion service, we reflect on the incredible gift of God's forgiveness and the freedom that comes through Jesus Christ. Looking at Ephesians 1 and other powerful passages of Scripture, we discover that forgiveness is not God ignoring sin—it is God placing our punishment on Christ and offering us grace in its place. Together, we explo...

What does it really mean to worship God? In this message, we begin a new series exploring how worship was never meant to be limited to Sunday mornings. Through Scripture and practical examples from everyday life, we look at how our marriages, parenting, careers, finances, health, and relationships can all become acts of worship when lived under the influence of God. This week, we unpack two import...

What does worship look like when life feels heavy, uncertain, or overwhelming? This week at Cibolo Creek Community Church, we walked through the story of King Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20 and explored what it means to worship in the middle of struggle. Through scripture, personal stories, and moments of worship together, we were reminded that worship is not about our emotions — it’s about God’s...

Continuing our conversation about worship, this week Jordan Sleed, our worship pastor, turned to Exodus 34 and the story of Moses coming down from Mount Sinai radiant after meeting with the Lord. The message explores a simple but searching question: who are we becoming? We are always being formed by what we trust, what we give our attention to, and where we go when we are most vulnerable. Through...

What does it really mean to surrender? On Senior Sunday at Cibolo Creek Community Church, we celebrate a meaningful milestone as graduating seniors step into a new season of life. As students prepare for college, careers, and what comes next, this service turns our attention to a question that matters for every stage of life: what does it look like to trust God with what comes next? Looking at Jes...
