The message this week is Secrets to being an Eagle Christian. The duel between David and Goliath was very important for David’s future, for it brought David’s great prowess to the attention of Israel. This was needed for Israel to eventually seek him to be their King. God always provides the events and circumstances to bring about His appointments for us. Hence, our concern needs to be on our prep...

Sunday's message is "Eagle Christians"! Isaiah 40:31 says “They that wait upon the lord shall renew their strength they shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.” The believer who truly places his hope in the Lord will renew his strength, exchange his weakness for the Lord’s strength (2 Corinthians 12:9). The Lord will bui...

We've been examining the Fruit of the Spirit for the past few months, and finally we're heading into the last sermon. As we look at the Fruit that Remains, this week we take a long look at Temperance, which means self-control. Proverbs 25:28 says, ”A man without self-control is as defenseless as a city with broken down walls". We all know that at the time this was written, cities we...

There is no better example of that gentleness than in the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. “Say to the daughter of Zion, see, your King comes to you, gentle and riding on a colt, the foal of a donkey,” Matthew 21:5. Jesus wasn’t trying to impress anybody when He came into Jerusalem. He came with a gentle spirit, one that attracted young children. There was a spirit about Jes...

This Sunday we will be looking at two more characteristics of the Fruit of the Spirit which are Kindness and Integrity. Can’t wait to see our family worshiping and praising our God together again. David said, "I was glad when they said to me, let us go unto the house of the Lord" (Psalm 122:1).

I'm sure you already know this about me, but in I’m kind of a Federal Express person. It absolutely must get there overnight! Do you relate to this? Sometimes I wonder what I ever did without an iPhone. Have you ever thought what they did back in the days of Pony Express when the expected arrival of mail was one month? Now, here’s what I want you to know. When God develops you and me, he’s no...

Many times when we think of peace, we think of the word that the Jewish people use, “Shalom,” which we think means peace. It also means, “order and well-being.” So when they say Shalom, they are blessing you with peace, order and well being in your life! May you have a sense of security. May you have a sense of a foundation underneath your feet. This Sunday we are going to be continuing our series...

We continue our study titled, Fruit that Remains. This Sunday we will be looking at Joy. In God’s Word, one of the first things apparent to me is that God wants his people to be joyful. One observation that always confounds me is that the Christian community is lacking in real joy. I just don’t understand why Christians are not be the most joyful people around.! We have hope, don't we? Romans...

This Sunday we will be starting our new series, Fruit That Remains. The first message will be dealing with love. When I was growing up, there was a song titled, "What The World Needs Now is Love, Sweet Love". In my experience, I have seen that love can produce broken hearts and goose bumps, loss of appetite and starry eyes. It’s inspired some to die and others to kill. Love may make the...

Join us Sunday and invite all your friends and family to watch with you! We will be streaming live at CCW through Facebook. This Sunday, we will be looking at how we live out our Christianity in the Work Place. Man was created for work, beginning in the Garden, before sin and thorns entered the world. Work, in and of itself, is a divine occupation for developing and gladdening human life. God has...

We'll continue preaching about living out our everyday Christianity. There is a sense in which none of us ever leaves school, life is a series of lessons. The whole of life is a school in which we are trained and fitted for eternity. No one can read the Bible without observing this fact. At the same time, the Scriptures make it abundantly clear that life, and after life, are largely determine...

Spend time with your family in the Word and in prayer. Family devotions are difficult to maintain in our constant busyness. This may be the time to establish or restore a habit that will change the trajectory of your family forever. Read a chapter of John together, read a chapter of Proverbs a day, ask the children to act out a Bible story and talk about how they can apply the teachings of Jesus t...

This Sunday, our practical series continues with Everyday Christianity: How to Live out Your Faith in Your Home. We, as parents, help determine how high our children will rise. That is why we must, first of all, create the right climate in our home. The words you speak, the order you establish, the music and television programs you allow, and the time spent on social media we allow are molding our...

We continue our practical series on Everyday Christianity: How to Live out Your Faith. The focus this week is Your Church! Colossians 4:7-18 describes an organization composed of many members, varying in gifts and backgrounds, and yet one unit in that God uses us for one purpose, serving as a team and not separately. Church history tells us that the Church has grown because everybody found their g...

I hope you're enjoying this practical series on Everyday Christianity: How to Live out Your Faith. The focus for this week is Your Faith! I have been blessed by the Lord to have been in the company of some great men of God. Men, who by the lives they have lived, the message they have preached and the motives from which they served the Lord have made a great impact on my life. I am so thankful...

Last Sunday, we began our new series on Everyday Christianity: How to Live out Your Faith. The area of focus for this week is YOU! What does it mean to live out your faith every day? What does it mean to have a testimony for the Lord? James reminds us that life is “like a vapor, that appears for a little time” (James 4:14). We can learn two things from this statement. One, life is short, and two,...

This Sunday, we begin our new series on Everyday Christianity: How to Live out Your Faith. Pastor Rick will kick us off with a message focused on Everyday Christianity in the the Schools. Students, parents, teachers, and everyone who cares about the next generation will want to come with a heart prepared to hear from God's word and Rick's years of experience in student ministry.

This Sunday, we will be looking at our last Core Value - Fulfilling Service. Last week we learned that we are Living Stones being built together into a spiritual house - 1 Peter 2:4. We all are part of a construction project working together as co-laborers - 1Corinthians 3:9. We all have a ministry that we must fulfill in building God’s house. Ministry is an act of service given in Jesus’ name. Th...

As we continue our study of our core values, following clear biblical truth, intimate fellowship, we now move to vibrant worship. "Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul! I will praise the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being" (Psalm 146:1-2). "Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all thin...

Loving one another through Intimate Fellowship is a core value at CCW. We know the story of John 13 well. It’s the last evening that our Lord spends with the disciples before the Garden of Gethsemane, before the cross. And as Jesus is spending time with those disciples, we see Jesus talking about this incredible love that we are to have for one another. He said that we must love one other just as...

God’s Word is the ultimate authority in this world. What God says is far more important than our opinions. CCW is committed to presenting Clear Biblical Truth, because it is so essential to our lives as Christians. This is why it is one of our core values. This Sunday we will see how the words of Jesus changed the disciples lives in Luke 5:1-11. When God's word comes to you, it will have an i...

This Sunday, we will be starting our Core Values sermon series. We'll begin by looking at the foundation for these core values which is our vision and mission. The vision statement for CCW is to be a gospel-centered, community church for all generations. You've often heard us say that our purpose is to "Share the good news with every generation". Our mission is to have a great...

Happy New Year! As we kick off 2020, we will begin by focusing on the cross and sharing communion together. We'll also take a look at lessons from the miracle of Lazarus' resurection that we can apply to the new year. Jesus told the people at the grave site of Lazarus to “loose him. And let him go" (John 11:43-44). In the same way, we need to let some things loose to work in our liv...
