LIFE SERIES by CGBBC

Thriving begins with a genuine relationship with God through authentic, private prayer. True spiritual growth is not built on public recognition but on faithfully seeking God in private, trusting His timing, and persevering through life's challenges.

How Do You Stand? - Pastor Videl Charles

Foundations Part 2 - Dr. Mike

This week we began our series on Foundation, examining Jesus' teaching about the wise and foolish builders. Jesus reminds us that a strong life is not built merely by hearing God's Word, but by putting it into practice. The foundation we choose determines how we withstand the storms of life.  In a world that often feels unstable, divided, and broken, the Sermon on the Mount offers a visi...

Planted in Purpose Part 2 - Pastor Elect Shon Nicole Turnbull

Planted in Purpose - Pastor Elect Shon Nicole Turnbull

There are many different types of mothers, but today the focus is on plant moms . These are the moms who lovingly care for their plants, sometimes even arranging their schedules around them. Some nurture flowers, while others grow vegetables and gardens that feed their families. Regardless of what is planted, we must remember this truth: God took time to form and mold each of us together with inte...

Have you ever make plans with someone—set the place, set the time, and when you get there… they’re either there or they’re not Jesus told His disciples where to meet Him. They showed up, they saw Him… and they worshiped. But here’s the real part, some of them still doubted. And that’s where we live. Because if we’re honest, doubt shows up. It’s part of being human. It doesn’t make you weak—it actu...

This message comes from a difficult season in David’s life. In Psalm 62, David is fleeing from his son Absalom—a time marked by both family conflict and political turmoil. Despite the chaos, David teaches us a powerful lesson: don’t focus on people—focus on God. Expectation means having confident anticipation for a positive outcome. When our expectation is rooted in God, it is always positive. Neg...

Following the crucifixion, Jesus gathered His disciples and gave a clear command: go into all the world and preach the gospel. This Great Commission reminds us that even in a sinful and broken world, there is still hope. Mission does not come when we are comfortable. It comes when we are called. Jesus has given each of us a mission. And sometimes we wrestle with questions like: Why me? Why do I ha...

In every mission, we must do what is necessary to accomplish it. Not everything that feels urgent is truly an assignment. With so many competing voices, we must remain focused on our priorities and protect the mission God has given us. Each of us plays a different role, yet we are all part of one greater mission. No role is more important than another—true victory comes when we all succeed togethe...

Life is not simply about accumulating wealth or chasing success. True living requires a greater meaning and a deeper purpose. Your life matters. Your life has meaning. As Jesse Jackson once reminded us, “You are somebody.” God created each of us intentionally. Your existence is not an accident—you were created with purpose.

The Great Commission calls us to go into all nations—baptizing, teaching, and demonstrating Christ’s love. As believers, we are entrusted with sharing the message of Jesus and reflecting His heart to the world. At times, this calling may feel overwhelming—even impossible. Yet we are commanded to move forward in faith and obedience. God’s purpose for our lives is far greater than we can imagine. Ev...

We are living at a crossroads—in our world, our communities, and our personal lives. Forces around us are shaping our voices, impacting our families, and challenging how we live together. This is not a season for silence, especially when it comes to justice. We are called to move forward together, grounded in faith, confident that we are not lost because Jesus is present—even in the upper room. Jo...

In this season, many have shared kind words or thoughtful notes expressing love. Yet love—though the most powerful force in the world—is often reduced to a feeling. We say we love based on how something makes us feel. We love our neighborhood, but sometimes struggle to love our neighbour. In a world filled with tension, division, and constant noise, authentic love feels increasingly rare. Our sche...
