Cape Cod Church Podcast

"Faith is blind." You've probably heard this phrase before. Maybe you've even said it yourself! It can be a criticism, a point of pride, an embarrassed admission, or a word of encouragement.  Both skeptics and Christians have embraced this idea. But is it true? This week, we continue our exploration of Hebrews 11, focusing on the origins of the universe. We'll discuss questions about science, reas...

I have a friend who loves to ask, "On a scale of 1–10, how are you doing?" How was your vacation (1–10)? How do you like school (1–10)? How's the new job (1–10)? It's an interesting way to dig a bit deeper, and I like it. So, let's try this: How is your faith on a scale of 1–10? Do you find believing a challenge? Do you experience worry or uncertainty where you wish there was steadfast faith? And...

I'm a pretty good planner. I like to get a goal and create a plan to achieve it, collect the needed materials, and execute. Then I sit back and enjoy the rewards of having arrived. But goal setting, planning, and effort have limits—more than we admit. Where does the supernatural fit into your story? This weekend, we conclude "Rock and Sand" by exploring how to make room for the Divine in our plans...

Do you ever pray and wonder if it works? Are you doing it right? Is God truly listening? Doubts can easily lead us astray from our prayer life. This weekend, I share a personal approach to prayer that I've developed over the past 30 years. Let's call it "Seven for the Soul." We all need to find a way to pray that goes beyond simply asking for favorable outcomes. Here's a guide to help you create y...

Rock or sand – we all face the choice of how we build our lives. But where do we begin? How can we ensure real change, significant growth, and measurable victories become part of our story? One habit, more than any other, has been the cornerstone of my life, fueling change, growth, and victory. This weekend, we share that practice with you.    First time listening to our podcast? We'd like to get...

We're in that calendar moment between Christmas and New Year—which has me looking forward to what could be while I appreciate what has been. This weekend we're doing both. We're celebrating where God has taken us with thankfulness and we're looking at some words from Jesus to guide us into a New Year. This Sunday, One Service Only—All Together at 10AM. First time listening to our podcast? We'd lik...

Do you ever wish you could go back and experience Christmas through the eyes of a child? The wonder, the sleepless excitement, the cherished traditions... and not having to wrap a single gift! As we grow older, it's easy for the magic of Christmas to fade. The story can feel overly familiar. Even if you didn't grow up attending church, you've probably heard it all before. But this season, the Chri...

A Christmas celebration is for everyone... but when you add children to the story, it gets even better (and harder). And this Sunday we've added the children into the celebration. We've told you the story of Christmas, we've uncovered some surprising gifts for families, and yes, we did party after! First time listening to our podcast? We'd like to get to know you!  Head over to: http://bit.ly/conn...

A part of the joy of Christmas is the element of surprise. Under the tree, a collection of bags and boxes sits neatly (or sometimes not so neatly) wrapped. Surprise is an essential part of the story. It has been that way since the very beginning. Christmas itself is a surprise. We often expect one thing when searching for life's answers, yet Jesus surprises us. Two of the four biographies of Jesus...

Be Full Wrapped Up with...A Celebration! These past weeks have been encouraging reminders of how God is at work and how we can be a part—and, how full that makes life. This Sunday, we wrapped it all up with a trip both across the street and around the world. Two very different places with one thing in common...they are both full of people God loves. First time listening to our podcast? We'd like t...

This Sunday is our annual Turkey Drive for our community. But it's more than turkeys—it's a celebration of generosity and impact! You've met our community partners from across Cape Cod. You've heard stories of how your generosity is bringing life to vulnerable kids and families. You've cheered to hear the progress in our annual "Be Full" mission campaign. Together, we remember why we do all we do....

We've talked about the promise of the future, the promise of "over/under-responding," and the promise of a God who will fill our lives. We're concluding with a promise for unpacking our baggage, moving on from hurt, and discovering a key to fresh beginnings. We all carry wounds that can sometimes sabotage our relationships. Join us to learn how to "unpack" your baggage. First time listening to our...

Modern dating can be… challenging. But if you're dating, you want to get it right. So what can help? Ancient Scripture actually offers a lot of wisdom for modern issues. It turns out we're all operating under a few myths that make dating even harder than it has to be. Listen to this sermon and learn how to navigate modern dating with fewer regrets. First time listening to our podcast? We'd like to...

"Let's figure it out." There's a better way to navigate conflict—and this weekend we're talking about a single promise you can make to yourself and to each other. This promise will help you cool down your most heated conflicts and untangle your most complicated relationship traps. Jesus didn't say this promise would be easy... but it does work. And it's a promise that every one of us can keep. Fir...

Promises, promises! We're kicking off a new series this weekend, focusing on 4 keys to building fulfilling relationships. Marriage can be challenging, but it's worth it, and these 4 promises will help you create the relationship you're hoping for. Let's begin by exploring the power of a promise—how can a promise make a difference? And what exactly are we promising? P.S. This fall, we're investing...

I always feel bad for Superman… so much strength and yet, a simple rock of kryptonite nearly would ruin him! Kryptonite, a fictitious rock has become the cultural metaphor we all know, and probably need. What's your kryptonite? Gideon is about to find out, and it's a familiar story that doesn't end well. The Bible has its own word for kryptonite (Hint: it's easier to spell) and with it a solution...

Every hero has a superpower, which is what makes them, well, "Super." Perhaps you played a game as a child, "If you could have one superpower, what would it be?" Maybe you imagined flying, controlling the weather, or possessing that "man of steel" strength. You get the idea. In real life, there's an often overlooked superpower, and I bet you know people who possess it. Even better, you can have it...

Oxford University Press declared it the word of the year… and it's not even a word, not really. Rizz … yep, that's it—Rizz! If you're unsure what I am talking about, find your closest Gen Z friend and catch up.  Rizz is the colloquial next-gen term for Charisma (but don't try this out in public). If you're over 30, or any age, ...it's hard to pull off outside of middle school. Charisma is the slig...

Who was your favorite superhero as a child? And what were their superpowers? Every hero has unique abilities that make them extraordinary. While Superman might not be walking through your door, you are. What the world needs now isn't a superhero, but it might be for someone reading this. There's an ancient book of heroes, often overlooked (I'll explain why), that offers surprisingly modern lessons...

Last Sunday, many of us gathered at the beach after church to celebrate the baptism of 58 people as they publicly proclaimed their faith in Jesus! It was a beautiful day filled with cheering, tears of joy, and laughter. With over 100 people there to celebrate with us, it was truly a community event. "Community" is a word we use a lot at church—mostly because it's something we all need and desire....

The Road Trip concludes this weekend. Paul's journey reaches its finale, and it won't surprise you that he finished well. Paul leaves us with an inspiring final act and two powerful lessons on living and finishing well. We've finished up at the ocean, celebrating with a crowd of people declaring their faith in Christ through baptism. Thank you to those who joined us at Menauhant Beach last Sunday....

Yep, it's that time of year—back to school! So, we're throwing a party to celebrate, and we've got something for everyone: a special gift to support the teachers in our community, a digital guide for parents, a gift and a bounce house for the kids, and smoothies on the patio for everyone!   This is the perfect weekend to invite a friend! We've discussed courage and where it comes from, and you'll...

From a dusty road to Damascus and a providential encounter—Paul has been on a journey, a road trip. Make no mistake, this is a planned trip, but Paul was not the master planner—God was! Three epic journeys would serve as the map, but behind it all, God was at work to change the world. And we see it happening as Paul's journey moves toward its final stages. What does world-changing look like? Find...
