    Blessed To Be A Blessing Series

    Contributed by Delray Lentz on Nov 29, 2023
     | 652 views

    Last time we were together, we examined that Gods word teaches us at least three things about blessings: o We are blessed by God o We are to be a blessing to others o We are to bless God

    Last time together our key passage was: Genesis 12:1-3 “Now the Lord said to Abram: Get out of your country, from your family and from your father’s house, to a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation, I will bless you and make your name great, and you shall be a blessing. I will ...read more

     | 458 views

    • A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned that when greeting people some people reply “I am blessed”. • Today's message is titled "Blessings"

    • A few months ago, in a message titled “The Danger in the Miracle”, I shared that I would rather live from blessing to blessing, instead of miracle to miracle. • I explained it like this: • A blessing is still God’s power, but it flows through natural channels. Blessings are better that ...read more

    Community

    In this past week, did you? Did you share the Gospel with someone? What did you do that brought God glory? Church, when I ask you these questions each week, it is actually a self-evaluation for me. Some weeks I score touchdowns. Some weeks I fumble miserably!

    Since we are hosting 5th Sunday tonight, I’ve been thinking about Community in the last 10 days or so. So, this week I’d like to examine: • The Purpose of community • The Importance of community • The Responsibility of community • And wrap it up tonight with: o The Inspiration of ...read more

    Then God Said

    Did you read something new in Gods Word this past week? Something familiar with new eyes? Did the Holy Spirit convict you to open your bible and allow God’s Word to speak to you?

    Today our key passage is found in Romans 4:17. The purpose of the message today is to remind us that God is not shackled by circumstances or natural barriers. Quick back story as you get to Romans 4:17 • Apparently, Paul had finished his work in the east, and planned to visit Rome on his way to ...read more

    Have a good Thanksgiving? • Turkey or ham debate? • Turkey, ham, goat debate? • Venison or bacon debate? Both please!

    You don’t need to answer these questions out loud. I’m going to ask you to be honest with yourself: • Do you ever grow tired of hearing sermons about Christmas? • Do you kind of glaze when you know you are about to hear the same story you’ve heard so many times? • On the flipside, what was the most ...read more

     | 240 views

    • It is my prayer every week that you hear something that inspires you to crack open your bible and dig into Gods word.

    • I’m hiding in a closet that is in the hallway between the living room and bedrooms in the house of my childhood. I’m about 12 years old, holding a toy gun. • My two younger brothers are trying to find me. They also are armed with toy guns. • I played similar games with my uncles except we made ...read more

    • Have you ever heard a sermon that was nothing but questions? • Well, you’re not going to hear one today either. • But there are a lot of questions in todays’ message!

    Todays’ message is titled “Cousins”. • Do you have a cousin you are very close to in age? o I do: Vince and Greg • Jesus had a cousin He was close to in age. We know him as John the Baptist. Depending on which translation you read you will see “cousins” or “relative” or “family” or of same ...read more

    • Happy Mothers’ Day Several men have brought food for the ladies today • Been around long enough, you know that God doesn’t put traditional messages on my heart. Today is no exception!

    Clap your hands, move your feet, GET UNDIGNIFIED I wanted to take a minute to talk about getting undignified. We can get undignified and still be in reverence to and in awe of, our God! Here’s the best definition I have found for undignified: • Having your composure disturbed (repeat) • Excuse ...read more

    Did you read something new? Familiar passage with new eyes? I hope you did?

    On the Sunday following Resurrection Sunday, I expressed my concern of how we’ve had this climactic week, then we go back to “business as usual”. I didn’t realize until this week, that we see this very thing in Acts. Our key passage today will be in Acts 2:1-4, but I want us to begin in Acts ...read more

    Equipping Of The Saints

    Contributed by Delray Lentz on Nov 15, 2023
     | 347 views

    Usually, each Sunday, I ask two questions, but today there are a few more questions: Why are you here today? Not here @ CPC, but here on earth? Why were you given this day?

    Here’s what I believe: Because as Christians, God’s not done with you yet. Now, if you haven’t accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior, we’ll visit about that a bit later. Maybe you’ve asked yourself that question in a different form- Do I have a calling? Am I fulfilling my calling? What are my ...read more

    Spiritual Growth

    Contributed by Delray Lentz on Nov 15, 2023
     | 936 views

    o Do you have an intentional plan for your own spiritual growth? o Do you know what spiritual growth is? o Have you asked God how you can serve in His church and in His Kingdom.

    Last week after our church meeting, Crystal prayed us out, and as she was praying the word “nesting” came to her. What a perfect way to describe the situation for CPC and perhaps THE church as well. Also, during our meeting, discipleship was discussed. CPC is a young church in terms of our launch ...read more

    Did you read something new in God’s Word this past week? Did you read a familiar passage with new eyes? Did you share it with someone? Did you share the Gospel with someone? Did you glorify God in your words or actions?

    Most of you have heard Pastor Jeff Reynolds preach. On many occasions he will say something like “for my 1st closing”… Today, I’m going to start with “for my first opening”… We’ll see how hungry I am by the first closing, to determine if there are more than one closings! 1st Opening In today’s ...read more

    Did you read something new in God’s Word? Familiar with new eyes? Something you didn’t understand and reach out to someone help you understand? It’s been several weeks since we have played Scriptural Gymnastics, so I figured we are due!

    Today’s key verse found in Matthew 11:28-30, and we’ll get there eventually! The title of today’s message is RESTING IN JESUS. We first see the English word rest in Genesis 2:2: • And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which ...read more
