Do you know the most popular ice cream flavor in the world? Vanilla! Now, that might not be your favorite flavor - but the ease and simplicity is what raises it to the top. As a church and disciples, the same goes for our foundation message for all - The Gospel. Join us for week 3 of Truth North in discovering the power of the (simple) Gospel.

There’s a difference between knowledge and wisdom. One is about information, and the other is about actually putting it into practice - which also applies to our spiritual lives. In week two of True North, we see how we get stuck turning our right thinking into right living.

Everyone’s got one and they shape a lot of who we are! And no, we’re not talking about opinions - rather, our worldview. The combination of our context, beliefs, and actions come together to be the true north of our lives. As we kick-off our study through 1 Corinthians, we see the importance of a Christ-centered worldview.

What is the number one idol of people, the most likely cause of stress in a marriage, and the thing that Jesus talked about most in the Bible? Finances.

As one thing dies, another comes to take its place. Whether it’s kingdoms, families or even things like churches, the void won’t last long. Yet, what does last is the legacy that some leave. Join us as we wrap up our study in the life of David seeing how the Son of David still reigns today!

God Doesn’t Orchestrate Brokenness – But He Can Use It For His Glory | David - Week 5 by First Christian Church Champaign

We’ve all made mistakes throughout our lives. Sometimes we learn, and other times, unfortunately, we repeat the same mistake. So if we all find ourselves in the same boat - what’s the difference between someone doing it our way versus God’s? Join us for week 4 of David to find out!

What's the first thing you do when you set out to play a board game? You read the rules! The instructions act as a 'rules of engagement' of how the game is played fairly for everyone. But what do you do when your opponent doesn't abide by the rules or play fair? In Sunday's message, we will see how David handles his opponent, who doesn't want to play fair!

It’s arguably the most famous book in all of the Bible. We’ve all heard it used to describe a sporting event, business, or individual that overcomes insurmountable odds. Sure, that’s a great sentiment - but what if that’s not what this story is all about? Join us as we continue our study in the life of David.

Where there’s a kingdom, there’s a king - simple as that! While monarchies are not very common today, for a period of time, they were the way the world worked. While earthly kingdoms rise and fall, the Kingdom of God stands forever. Join us as we start our series through the life of David and see what made for a king in God’s Kingdom.

We all desire to be a part of something bigger and beyond. So, what's the difference between a dreamer and an achiever? Not the desire, but rather the discipline! Let's explore committing to The One bigger and beyond ourselves.

Whether it’s sports, art, theater, the workplace, or even everyday life - we are drawn to others! Like it or not, we cannot navigate life without the help and support of others. So we ask you: what might your life and faith look like a year from now if you committed to connect to others in the community of the church?

Getting stuck is a part of life - it’s unavoidable! For most of us, we know the answer; we might just not know how to take action. But what if we gave ourselves no choice but to move forward and win the day - how might that transform us all?

It’s the best-selling book of all time and the book most argued over throughout history. Some people swear by it, and others swear against it! And for most, before we follow it, we want to know if we can trust it. Join us as we wrap up this series, No Offense - But Can I Really Trust the Bible to Be True?

The world around us pushes back against belief in God for various reasons. Studies reveal that people don’t follow God with their life because they believe, “God is too controlling over how I want to live my life.” Yet, is this actually the case? Join us for week two, No Offense - But Why Can’t I Live My Life, My Way?

The majority of Americans believe heaven is a real place - and most believe they are headed there, too! So why are there so many different views on who gets to go there? Join us as we tackle week one, No Offense - Don’t All Good People Go to Heaven, Anyways?

Pastor Eric shares five reflections from 2022 for the new year.
