Psalm 51In Psalm 51 we see how and why David is called “a man after God’s own heart”. David has been confronted by his friend and prophet, Nathanial, about his sin of adultery with Bathsheba and organizing the murder of her husband. This is clearly a dark time in his life, and we see that being a man after God’s own heart is not about how good you are, but how you respond in life. David appeals to...  Read More

Dear CCW Kids families, In Acts 2, we find the fulfillment of Jesus’ promise from Acts 1:8. Jesus' followers devoted themselves to one another and to His mission, and we can observe their unity in the first verse of this passage. They experienced the power of the Holy Spirit together as a church body unified by more than mere proximity. What was the significance of the Holy Spirit’s arrival on the...  Read More

Psalm 46When Pastor Rick gave me a list of words to write about, I struggled with which one I shouldchoose. As I went back and forth between the words "praise," "unity," and "help," I stopped for asecond and prayed, "Which one, Lord?" He said, "Neither." Instead, He led me to the word "stillness" -the one I struggle with the most, letting my mind and body be still and listen.I have a hard time shu...  Read More

Psalm 42If we look back at our experiences with God throughout our lives, it's easy to identify places where He felt so close, and where we could sense we were right where we were supposed to be. The Israelites would establish altars at these times – landmarks that would stand through the ages, pointing to the Lord's works among His people.But not every place the Israelites traveled is marked by a...  Read More

Psalm 32Forgiveness is great unless we are the ones that have to offer it. We feel like we are letting someone off the hook that has hurt or wronged us. After all, the world tells us that to get ahead we need to get revenge, not forgive. We resent the other person and, at times, seem to enjoy it. Saint Augustine is quoted as saying, “Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other per...  Read More

Psalm 30:2 says, “O Lord my God, I cried out to You and You healed me.” I lived this verse in 2012. On February 28, 2012, I went to the emergency room with unbearable stomach pain. A few days later, I had major colon surgery to remove a tumor. I was 33 with two kids under the age of four. I remember crying out to the Lord during that time, asking for His will to be done and praying that He would h...  Read More

Psalm 23Close your eyes for a moment and imagine sitting in a pasture beside those still waters. Can you feel that? Peacefulness.This peace isn’t merely the nonexistence of hard times, but a deeply rooted, abiding restfulness that comes from knowing Jesus and knowing He is our shepherd.The scripture states that there will be times when we might feel afraid or unsettled. That same scripture also sa...  Read More

In every age, the ministry and miracles of the prominent prophet Elijah have benefited the Church. Elijah shows up out of obscurity and God uses him in dramatic fashion to intervene in a generation, and then sweeps him away in a chariot of fire.  In 2024, at CCW we are making a declaration to STAND on the MOUNTAIN in that place we want to meet with the glory, voice, and touch of Almighty God! In I...  Read More

Psalm 19Jesus is the Word! The Bible is God's written account of the Living Word (John 1:1, John 5:39-40).Jesus is the greatest pray-er in the Bible; He is our pattern (Mark 1:35). His Spirit is our Power (Ephesians 6:18, Romans 8:26-27).Jesus teaches us these things about prayer:1. Precedence - Prayer precedes everything in our walk with Jesus. It is the oxygen that invigorates us to action (Matt...  Read More

Psalm 12Psalm 12 reflects David’s plea for God's intervention in a world filled with deceit and unfaithfulness. The opening verses in this chapter paints a stark picture of a society where truth seems scarce and the faithful appear to be diminishing. Sound familiar? Kind of feels like our society today. Yet, amid the chaos, David turns to the Lord as the unchanging source of refuge.In times of mor...  Read More
