Are you chasing happiness… only to feel empty? Solomon had it all — wealth, pleasure, success — and called it meaningless. The truth is, living to please yourself always ends in disappointment. In this message, we explore why living to please God is actually where we find lasting joy, contentment, and purpose.

Jonah 4:1-5 Why are you angry? Essentially, that is the question that God asks the prophet Jonah when Jonah was angry that God did not punish his enemies. Anger can be a warning light that something is wrong in our heart. This sermon explores the cause of our anger and finds healing in the grace and forgiveness of Christ.

When we slide down into a dark place, God is waiting to hear our prayer. We often expect God to deliver us quickly, comfortably, and on our terms. But in Jonah 2, God meets a runaway prophet at rock bottom: in the depths, in the dark, in what feels like the grave. And there in the dark, Jonah discovers the steadfast love of God. If you’ve ever felt stuck, distant, or at the end of yourself—this pr...

Have you ever been so consumed by the wrong thing that you tried to hide from the right thing? That’s Jonah. He hated the Ninevites so much that he chose to try to run and hide from God’s presence and direction. It was a selfish move. It was a foolish move. Going in the opposite direction from God, Jonah is caught in the middle of a storm. It became clear that someone had to be sacrificed to save...

What happens if you run from the will of God? Jonah ran from God, so God chased after Jonah with a storm that threatened to sink his ship. The storm was God's grace that forced Jonah to change his mind and heart toward both God and people. The God who loves us will chase us with the storm of His grace! #Jonah #Storms #JesusSaves #RunningfromGod #Grace

Jesus was always teaching his disciples how to live by faith through instruction and application. In Matthew 14:22-33, we read about another event that took place with Jesus and his disciples “on the water”. Here we see Jesus walking on water, then inviting Peter to walk with him! It’s another amazing experience Jesus gives the disciples to teach them practical and impactful lessons on how to live...

In Mark 4, the disciples find themselves in the middle of a life-threatening storm while Jesus is asleep in the boat. In their fear, they ask a question many of us have asked in hard moments: “Do you not care that we are perishing?” In this passage, Jesus responds with questions of his own: “Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?” This study explores what our storms reveal about our faith...

Discover how one real encounter with Jesus’ holiness instantly exposes our sin and then turns shame into acceptance and purpose. Peter's experience with Jesus changed his life so completely that he left everything behind to follow Jesus and become a "fisher of men". Join us at cefc.church. #Luke5 #FishersOfMen #ObeyGod #EncounterJesus #ChristianSermon #BibleStudy #FaithOverFear #MiracleOfJesus #Le...

When it feels like everything is going wrong and evil is winning, Exodus 2:1–10 reminds us that God’s plan is better. Pharaoh gives an evil command for baby boys to be thrown into the Nile river. But the very water meant to kill becomes the means of deliverance. Moses is drawn out of the water and raised in Pharaoh’s own palace. What was planned for evil, God turns for good. When we feel overwhelm...

In a world filled with anxiety, chaos, and frightening powers, Daniel 7 lifts our eyes from the beasts of earth to the throne of heaven. Daniel sees a vision of kingdoms rising in violence and arrogance, leaving him shaken and alarmed. But just when fear seems overwhelming, Daniel sees a vision of a God clothed in white and seated on a throne with wheels of fire! This vision of God reminds us that...
