CCW Weekly UpdateIn John 17:20-23, Jesus prayed for unity: “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them,...  Read More

CCW Weekly UpdateWhat does it mean to be a disciple? Is the term antiquated - only reasonable for Jesus's own personal entourage that were the original witnesses of the work at the cross of Christ?  Is it a catchy idea that refers to a church program or study?  The Great Commisson is every Christian's mission. In Matthew 28:19, Jesus commands: "Go, therefore and make disciples of all nations."  In...  Read More

CCW Weekly UpdateDo you like to lift weights? I love to lift weights! I have had an on and off relationship with lifting weights since I was 11 years old. There is a feeling of accomplishment when something is very heavy and you have defeated it by lifting it; you show that weight just who's the boss. Well...In Exodus 17, Moses is called to hold a rod in his hand, and as long as he could hold out ...  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."

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

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.
