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

CCW Weekly UpdateAmong the various relationships we have on this earth, there are several special ones discussed by Paul at the end of Colossians 3.  Wives, husbands, children, parents, servants and masters.  This week we will discuss the Biblical model of these relationships for those who have been raised with Christ, exploring topics like submission, love, obedience, and provocation.   We will a...  Read More

CCW Weekly UpdateOur Christian identity means we should look, talk, think, and act differently. It’s all about what we choose to wear — and that has nothing to do with designer brands or fabric blends. Paul instructs the Colossians — and by extension, us — to put on the clothes of: compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Take a moment to look and pray over that list. Does it desc...  Read More

CCW Weekly UpdateThis is going to be a great Sunday! Paul moves from the problem of false teaching to an if/then solution. He says IF you are a Christian THEN... If you are a Christian, then you can set your sights outside of this world.  If you are a Christian, then you can trust in Christ who sits at God's right hand. If you are a Christian, then you can set your mind on the reality of heaven. I...  Read More

CCW Weekly UpdateHave you ever wondered why you were born? Or wondered why God made you? Well if you have, you are not alone. Many of us if we are honest have had these questions and I am excited to let you in on the secret mystery of these questions! We were born for a reason, but to understand that reason we have to go back and learn about how we got here in the first place! The how, and why is ...  Read More
