Christian Fellowship Church

Unity, working together, and upholding the Good News happens as we have our eyes fixed on heaven - where Jesus is! Today we look at Philippians 1:27 and understand that the perfect unity and oneness that we'll have in heaven begins here during our lives on earth. It's worth our effort to seek to be one in all that we do as Christians.

Jesus commands us to love but what kind of love does He command us to love with? How do we do this - especially when it comes to how we relate to each other? In today's message we look at seven wise and practical thoughts from Proverbs to help us learn how to love each other the way Jesus commanded.

Yes the church is meant to be unified as one building each other up but how does that happen? How do each us of function to see our purpose realized? Today we understand the function of the church by looking at Romans 12:1-13. We highlight transformation, humility, gifts, and character and how each of these things helps us to function in the church as God wants us to.

Individualism is the enemy of all that Jesus wants to accomplish in His church. Today we understand how we, as many believers, are meant to connection with each other so that we are one body in Christ. We also talked about a mindset shift in our thinking about the work week vs. Sunday Morning. And, Pastor Jeff shares a prophetic picture that he received earlier this year.

What is fasting? Why do we fast? And what are we as Christian Fellowship Church supposed to be fasting from this January? In today's message we talk about the importance of unity and building up the body of Christ. We address the enemy of these ideas; individualism. And, we discuss how small groups are a key part of achieving unity and building up the body of Christ.

This is our Christmas Eve message. To cap off this series, we look at four names that Jesus is often called around the Christmas season. We'll understand what these names mean and how they have an impact on our understanding and response to Jesus.

Is the story of Jesus' birth all about warm fuzzy feelings of a King born in a miraculous way? Or is it also a story of survival, tragedy, and foreshadowing the battle of the Kingdom of God? We can't acknowledge Jesus' birth without looking at some of the gruesome and tougher details surrounding it. So, please join us to understand Jesus' birth in its fullest meaning.

Today we look at the visitors that came to see Jesus. What do we know for sure? What is speculation? We learn that the thing that the shepherds and the magi had in common is that they received an invitation from God to come to see Jesus. And best of all, you and I have that same invitation, too.

The birth of Jesus is an early reflection of the ministry of Jesus. One of the big things Jesus accomplishes in his ministry is unifying people and elevating those who are downcast in the current culture. How does Matthew's telling of the Christmas story reflect this purpose of Jesus' ministry? By including the care and dignity of women! Today we look at two ways that Matthew elevates women throug...

Merry Christmas! In today's message we look at the birth of Jesus with our best cultural understanding at the front of our minds. It's funny how a great story can be skewed because we don't know the culture of the part of the world where the story comes from. We're going to debunk some errors in the story of Jesus' birth today and "tell it like it really is."

I think thankfulness may be an underrated tool in the hands of God's people. It serves us so well when we live a life of thankfulness. Today we explore how thankfulness preserves faith in a family tree, a church, and even a nation.

The early church used to meet in people's homes. What did they do? Was this important? And, what about today? Is there a reason we should we with other Christians in their homes? If so, what do we do? Today we discuss the power of the home as a place of ministry and Christian life.

What are persons of peace? How did Jesus strategically and loving seek these people out for the good of an entire community? How did Jesus' disciples replicate this practice? And, how do we do this today as well!

How does God work today to meet the spiritual needs of people all over the world. He uses priests! Not priests like the ones in the Old Covenant but, He uses you and me. We are priests according to 1 Peter 2:9. Today's message introduces this idea and prepares us to think about how we interact with people needing Jesus in this world.

Connor Gerbrandt from Anchor Point Church shares from the word today.

Are we meant to dream? Have imagination and ideas? Wonder about life from the context of our relationship with God? Yes! Absolutely, yes! In fact God has created us to dream, Jesus invites us to dream, and the Holy Spirit empowers us to dream. Today we talk about dreaming with God and our prayer is to become dreamers ready to put actions to the dreams we have with God.

Today we finished up our series on maturity by looking at obedience. Could obedience to God be the ultimate expression of our intimate love for God? I think so! Come and learn with us about the link between love and obedience and also three things the obedience requires from us.

We know that intimate relationship with God allows us to grow in maturity. Prayer is one of the most fundamental ways to practice having an intimate relationship with God. Prayer is all about communication and inviting the Holy Spirit into every corner of our lives. Find out today how prayer allows for the relationship with God that we need so we can grow in maturity.

Spiritual maturity can't happen in our lives unless we make room for an intimate friendship with the Holy Spirit. But how do we do that? One of the most simple ways is by opening the bible, reading it, and obeying it. Today we dive deeper into understanding our necessary connection with the Holy Spirit and we practice reading the bible together. Simple, fun, and powerful!

It was Homecoming Sunday this weekend. As part of our church service we spent time playing get-to-know-you bingo. The sanctuary was a buzz as people were mixing together, asking each other questions, and learning what it means to fellowship. And fellowship is a huge part of maturity. That's what today's message is about. The message starts with Pastor Jeff asking about some of the questions that p...

Jesus graciously tells us about the future we can expect as Christians. All of us will face judgment and all of us will be inline for eternal rewards. Knowing these two experiences - they should act as incredible motivating factors for us to grow in spiritual maturity today.

In today's message we discuss six common obstacles that block us from becoming spiritually mature. We see how God works to bring us past those obstacles.

Spiritual maturity is the destination that all Christians should be journeying towards. In fact, it's the reason that Christ saved us from our sins. In this new series we're beginning today, we'll look at the link between intimacy with Jesus and spiritual maturity. We'll define maturity and ask, "Why can't I just be saved?" Then we'll seek to understand that we are saved FOR something rather than...
