Cinco Ranch Church of Christ

Join us for the latest in our series on "I Am"

It's always a special time when someone special makes an entrance so it is incredible that God makes his in the form of a burning bush to just one lowly, outcast man in Moses. God calls on Moses to be his spokesperson to the Egyptians and Moses searches for a lot of reasons not to do this for God in the form of questions. While God is answering Moses's questions, he's also setting the stage for Hi...

Whenever we pray, we tend to simply tell God what we want and then hit the send button on our prayer (amen). What might it look like for us to spend time in prayer and listen to God. This morning we will walk through an incredibly intimate expression of this examination practice (examen) led by King David himself in Psalm 139. In some ways, we do this practice on a fairly regular basis with other...

As parents, we struggle dealing with the people our children are going to have in their lives. Are they going to lead them where we want them or lead them astray? Are they going to help build our child’s relationship with God or tear it down? Are they going to help them to become the people God wants them to become? No matter who comes into our children’s lives, one thing we know for sure is that...

Many of us have been very intentional about reading our Bibles, but if you're anything like me, you've struggled in how you read the Bible. When we open up the text, what are we looking for? Are we trying to prove ourselves to be correct? Are we trying to do church or Christianity "right?" Perhaps God has invited us to read scripture through a different lens, one that brings forth a life that we m...

We live in a hurried world. Not only that, our society tells us to hurry and that we aren't valuable if we can't do things quickly. We also live in a world where we need to be around people and noise. However, some of the most incredible things that God does in scripture involve a healthy amount of silence and solitude. Perhaps this is why Jesus seeks out these two things so often. As Satan wages...

As the new year takes off, many of us are making resolutions that we believe will lead us to better, fuller lives. These changes can be difficult but also wonderful at the same time. What might a resolution in our spiritual life look like? What if I told you that doing more or less of something might not actually be the most important piece of spiritual growth? Perhaps God is not inviting us into...

Our very special Christmas message

Our lesson will dive into the Lineage of Christ according to Matthew. We will explore some of the more notable and questionable names in this list. All while trying to understand why they are mentioned, how they set the stage for Jesus's birth, and what this long list of names means for us today.

As Christmas season is fast approaching, we are experiencing an array of emotions. We look forward to seeing families and friends. We make decorations to prepare for the season. We buy presents for everyone we've ever met. At the same time though, there is stress over getting everything done and set up in time. All of the chaos causes us to forget why we do this in the first place. Long ago, there...

Last week, we explored church hurt. We heard a real story where church hurt took place that ended up being two-sided. Church hurt is real, so how do we become a place where healing and reconciliation can occur? While we can carry scars from other places, God is ever-present in those times of hurt and invites us to be transformed through them. This morning, we will discuss and explore becoming a pl...

Church hurt is real, so how do we become a place where healing and reconciliation can occur?

Join us for the next in our fall sermon series.

What does it look like to be led by the Spirit?

When the church asks you to give, it is usually a bit awkward. I mean what institution doesn't ask you to give. What is different about the church though is the fact that God doesn't need anyone's money in order to go about completing His mission for the world. Why then might God ask for money? Perhaps it isn't a need so much as a test. Our money and how we use our money is simply an extension of...

Join us this fall as we explore who God is calling us to be.

Join us this fall as we explore who God is calling us to be.

We are coming off of a week where we got to see several familiar faces and celebrate what God has done at our church over the last 30 years. Remembering is something that God longs for us to do and something that is even commanded in several areas of scripture. Remembering is essential to living the life God invites us into because it allows us to know and appreciate God in ways that go deep into...

Today is a super special Sunday as we celebrate what God has done in this church over the last thirty years! Those who have been here a while know that this church has enjoyed some incredible things take place during that time as well as some things that have been very difficult to endure. When we look at our heroes in scripture, something that they all tend to have in common is that they never st...

Fake news, and its next of kin, mis-information and dis-information, are not new. They’ve been around since the dawn of creation (e.g., consider the creation story with the serpent telling Eve she wouldn’t die) and they were around in the years following Jesus’ death. John writes into a world where people are teaching things like (i) matter is evil and only the spirit is good (and so some argued i...

Loving others is a simple command that can be so hard on some days. Sometimes it's even hard to love ourselves, let alone anyone else. John writes that if we are to be like God, then we should love because that's not just what God does, it's in the very fabric of God's being. Love is who God is. Love isn't simply something that we are invited to do, it's who we are invited to become.

Something that biblical scholars and theologians have discussed for centuries is the imago dei or the "image of God." Not only do we want to know what God looks like, but we also wonder about this because we want to adopt that same image. We want to look like God. John shares with us in his letter that we are already well on our way to doing just that not just because of what we do, but also becau...

This month we are kicking off a new series from the book of 1 John. While so many books of the Bible have a lot of do's and don'ts, John is a little more simplistic in His writing. If you're a big picture person, you might connect with him a lot because at the epicenter of his writing is one simple command: love. This morning we will begin this exploration of what it looks like to love one another...

Whenever we are sick, injured, or hurt, there is a healing process. Some processes are longer than others depending on the hurt or illness. Sometimes when those processes are longer, we begin to get used to life with that hurt or illness and it can sometimes begin to define us. Jesus comes across a man who had been lame for decades but before healing him asks the man "Do you want to get well?" It...

Sometimes Jesus teaches things that are simply difficult. A rich young man came to Jesus once asking what was required for eternal life and left very disappointed by the answer. While the naked eye looks at this story and sees Jesus telling someone to remove the obstacle of money, He's actually asking for much more. He's asking for total sacrifice.
