CCW Weekly UpdateIn Acts 2 we see the inception and progression of the Church.  Have you ever wondered what took place to form the early Church?  In Acts 2, we get a history of the rudimentary structure of church. A synopsis of Acts 2:42-47: People were saved and baptized then they devoted themselves to the Word of God, fellowship, breaking bread, praying, giving, and praising daily in the temple ...  Read More

CCW Weekly UpdateIt may sound trite, but it’s never a faulty plan to ask, “WWJD?”  Jesus was involved in evangelism, discipleship, serving, and CHURCH. So what would Jesus do in terms of church? He’d go to church!  Many scriptures tell us that Jesus regularly went to the synagogue, the local area for worship and learning. He didn’t just go to church, He was involved at the synagogue - fervently re...  Read More

CCW Weekly UpdateGod could have said or done a myriad of things upon the completion of creation, but what He did say was found in Genesis 2:24, "Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." Marriage and the family are the very first foundational institutions of God for society, for community, for church, and for His Glory.  It is so...  Read More

CCW Weekly UpdateHey CCW family,  God created us to live in community!  Essential to our everyday existence, is the innate desire for connection, acceptance, and affirmation. Jesus gave us a powerful example, as someone who had the power to go about His journey alone, but instead chose to travel, serve, teach, and work with a Tribe called the disciples.Hebrews 10:24-25 says, “And let us consider o...  Read More

CCW Weekly UpdateMatthew 17:20 is what I like to call a classic coffee mug verse. You find these kinds of verses on pens, coffee mugs, tshirts, etc. because they make you feel good. The verse says, "if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.” On one hand, verses like this are aw...  Read More

CCW Weekly UpdateI'm amazed at some of the things that have been said and written in recent years about the gospel.  The gospel means "good news" - the good news that Christ died for our sins and rose from the dead. So many are adding so much to the gospel but some simple gospel math is: Jesus + Anything = Nothing.  Getting the gospel right is a matter of spiritual life and death. If you dismiss t...  Read More

I am so thankful for each and every one who dedicated time to loving God, loving people!How many times in your life have you reflected, "I wish I would’ve listened?" In the hyper media culture we live in, there are myriads of podcasts, webinars, training, and resources on “how to's” for just about everything under th...  Read More

CCW Weekly UpdateDo you remember the hymn "Count Your Blessings?" There's a line that says,  "Count your blessings, name them one by one, count your blessings see what God has done."  In Matthew 25, Jesus is telling us something vital: we have an entrustment. Everything we have is given to us by God. Do we look at ourselves as stewards or owners? A steward works for the day he will bring a return ...  Read More

CCW Weekly UpdateDo you ever feel confused by your own actions? Have you ever done something that you didn't even think you'd ever do?  Paul once said "the things that I want to do I don't, and the things I don't want to do, that I do."In the gospels, Jesus shares a parable on the phases of the heart, entitled the Parable of the Sower. Jesus is the master farmer always spreading seed (His Word) on...  Read More

CCW Weekly UpdateI hope that summer affords you the opportunity to relax, relate, and recharge. In busy seasons we need time for slowing our pace and a chance to just be. I hope that as you enter the Church at Chelsea-Westover you are able to find that moment in worship and reflection of God and His Word. God loves us so much and is unrelenting in His pursuit. The Pharisees in Luke 15 could not un...  Read More

CCW Weekly UpdateI hope this finds you enjoying the month of June! As a church, we have already seen a great work of God in our kid and teen camps, and our summer day camps are also running smoothly.  We are jumping into a study this week on how to be a "can't help it Christian."In Acts 4, threatened and told to stop sharing Jesus, the disciples had a very simple answer: "We can't stop!" They had ...  Read More
