Matthew 28:1-20 // Gabriel Coyle Jesus’ resurrection is the most history altering action in the world, and yet it is not merely history. It is not only something that impacted the past. Jesus’ resurrection validates and reveals Jesus’ current authority of the present. So if you’re looking for the leading authority on life, look no further than Jesus, the Son of God. But what does that mean for my life? For our life? Join us this Easter to explore together what fullness means with the living King Jesus.

Romans 7:7-13 // Gabriel Coyle One of the ironic dynamics of God’s law is that the more we know, the more we feel and recognize brokenness in our lives. With the grace of the gospel in Jesus, what value does God's law bring? Are we supposed to feel guilt and shame when we hear the law? What is God’s law for anyway if it's not very effective at restraining unrighteousness and injustice? Join us as we continue through the book of Romans where we’ll see the role of God’s law for us today.

Romans 7:1-6 // Caleb Jenkins What we belong to gives us an identity, sense of community, and even drastically affects our self-worth. Whether we find our belonging in sports, career, family, romantic relationships, or even religious observance, there are many good things that we are tempted to worship as ultimate things, but each leaves us restless and empty inside. Join us as we continue to see in the book of Romans why our ultimate belonging is to Jesus and how that is such good news for us.

Romans 6:15-23 // Nydiaris Hernández-Santos Life is full of paradoxes that make our life either run or crash, depending on how you look at it. Humans are full of contradictions and God knows it! He has chosen many paradoxes to reveal who he is and to show us what it looks like to follow him. Would you join us as we study one of the biblical paradoxes? Dive deep with us into the paradox of grace SERMON NOTES (YOUVERSION): https://bible.com/events/49214771 PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2553/responses/new 24.10.03
Romans 6:12-14 // Gabriel Coyle One of the greatest battles of history is not “out there,” but rather, is “in here.” Herein lies a crucial insight as to why following Jesus can be so hard. There is a battle being waged not just with our bodies but in our bodies. Join us as we continue to see in the book of Romans what Jesus has rescued you and me for, and how we can actually live this out.

Romans 6:1-11 // Gabriel Coyle When we think of rescue, it’s natural to ask: “Rescue from what?” But with Jesus, rescue is more! When God sought to rescue creation from brokenness, injustice, sin and death, he always planned to save us “for” a more beautiful, good, and true way of being. Jesus didn’t just save us from sin but for life—with him—now and forever. But how is life with God different from life without God? And why would anyone actually want that kind of life? Join us as we continue walking through the Letter of Romans to explore what God has in store for your life and mine today.

Psalm 13:1-6; Mark 15:33-39 // Caleb Jenkins “I used to go to church and pray, and then my best friend got sick and died… How can I believe in God when that happened?” My friend told me this in 7th grade, and it would be the first but not last time I would hear what I would later learn that theologians and philosophers call “the problem of evil”. Why does an all good and all powerful God permit evil and suffering? While God does not give us an answer to our “why” question, he does show us “how” to find meaning through suffering and experience that we are not alone. Join us as we learn how to lament our suffering with God through Psalm 13.

If you are not a Christian and the Christian sex ethic has seemed despairing or if you’re a Christian who is wrestling with how to understand the Christian sex ethic, you’re not alone. What if this disorientation comes from something deeper? Join us as we walk through another frequent question raised in our world where the church can offer hope. Matthew 5:27-30; Hebrews 10:22-23 // Gabriel Coyle 24.01.28 SERMON NOTES (YOUVERSION)https://www.bible.com/events/ PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2553/responses/new
Whether through painful experiences within the church or hearing of the mistreatment of women by certain Christians, the question can arise: Is Christianity Good for Women? Join us as we explore hard questions and see what God has to say about women's experiences in his church.

Luke 24:13-35; 2 Tim. 3:16-17 // Nydiaris Hernández-Santos The Bible is an ancient collection of writings that tells a unified, coherent story about God’s salvation plan. But if it was written and compiled thousands of years ago, why should we trust it today? Why should it guide our lives? Join us as we explore why the Bible is trustworthy and why it should inform how we live our lives in today’s world.

Matthew 16:17-19; Ephesians 3:20-21 // Gabriel Coyle Disagreement, hurt, frustration, and abuse. There are a lot of reasons to dismiss the church, but there may very well be more reasons to give her a second look. What if there is a more enchanting story of the church and Jesus? Join us as we begin a new series exploring some of the sincere questions and frustrations we have with the Christian faith, the “But what about…” questions of faith. Together we may find a both/and rather than either/or story of our deepest wrestlings.

Matthew 2:1-12 // Caleb Jenkins It’s all too easy to skim through the Christmas narrative and miss out on key aspects of that story. The three Wise Men are some of the most misremembered and misunderstood characters of Christmas, and yet their story teaches us a crucial lesson about Christmas and its relevance for life today. Join us as we look at Christmas through the eyes of the Wise Men, and see who is the True King we should worship.

Luke 1:26-45 // Gabriel Coyle Christmas is a massive celebration the world over, but why? If we merely look with human eyes, this should have never lasted. But when we look at Christmas through the eyes of Mary, we see the impossible made possible. If you need to remember that the impossible can show up in the ordinary, then join us as we look at what God has for us today in the story of Mary in Luke 1.

Ruth 1:1-22 // Caleb Jenkins As we journey through this Advent season as a church, we are looking at characters who looked at the brokenness, uncertainty, and suffering in their life and saw something different. They looked through the lens of trusting God, through the eyes of faith, and saw Christmas. They saw God breaking in to intervene in the world and make things right, even when externally, there was plenty in their lives to argue differently. Join us as we are looking at Ruth, someone who lived a thousand years before the first Christmas, but is deeply connected to that story, because she is Jesus’ great (times 28!) grandmother. There is something so powerful about her example of faith and trust, that teaches us something so important about Christmas.

Romans 5:15-21 // Nydiaris Hernández-Santos Do you ever feel like evil has finally won? That is a pressing question for followers of Jesus who are socially and culturally aware. Listening to the news and reading the newspapers can easily send one into despair. But the gospel has a different answer! The grace of God offers a different outlook. Join us as we continue studying Romans and discover how followers of Jesus look at the world through the lens of grace.

Romans 5:12-14 // Gabriel Coyle We’ve all had that moment when who you want to be and who you are is met with frustration. Where does that frustration come from? You can’t help but be hopeful that there’s more but we often experience our helplessness in our inability to change. Is this a me problem or something more? Join us as we continue our journey through the Book of Romans and see what’s really going on in the world and in us in this world.

Romans 5:5-11 // Gabe Coyle We’ve all been “had” before, and some of us would describe most of our relationships as places where people want something from us. But what about God? What if God really is different? What if he has proven he is different? That might open us up to a new way of being in his world, with him, and with others. Join us as we continue our journey through the Book of Romans and see what it really means to be a friend of God.

Esther 4:11-17 // Johannes Gebhardt Have you ever wondered where God is in spaces, cities, or situations where there are no obvious signs of His presence? Listen to pastor Johannes as he invites us to see God at work in subtle ways in places where He is seemingly absent.

Romans 4:1-25 // Gabriel Coyle If there’s a current in the stream of our world, it’s doubt, and it's pulling on the hearts of minds of believers and unbelievers alike. How do we make our way through a disorienting world of doubt? Join us as we explore the ancient and proven guidance of God’s word as we continue to walk through Romans.

Romans 3:1-20 // Jarrett Meek Have you ever heard yourself bragging about being a Christian? Have you caught yourself boasting about all the things you “do for God”? In this sermon, we explore why such bragging is inappropriate for a Christian. On the contrary, our salvation as a gracious gift from God should produce in us humility. Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/ https://www.bible.com/events/49146486 Prayer Requests: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2553/responses/new 23.10.15
Romans 3:1-20 // Caleb Jenkins If there’s nothing we can do to save ourselves, why does it matter if I still try to obey God? Why does God tell me what to do when he knows I can’t do it? Isn’t he just setting me up for failure? Too often we answer this question with one of two insufficient answers. We either say there’s no point in trying to obey God because we can’t and he’ll just forgive us anyways, or we assume we must be able to do what is right from our own power without God. Join us as we continue our series in Romans and hear how the Apostle Paul answers this important question.

Romans 3:21-26 // Gabriel Coyle There are few questions that are quite as loaded and comforting as “Are you okay?” The range of responses could be “Sure” to “Not even close.” What God has to offer us in this space is the answer we long for, but without him we don’t have the eyes to see. Join us as we continue our rescuing journey in the book of Romans and learn how we can be okay today…and forever.

Romans 2:17-29 // Gabe Coyle The #1 barrier for anyone from following Jesus is NOT the claims of the gospel or the person of Jesus. Rather, it is the hypocrisy of Christians. Why is this such a persistent issue, and is there an alternative? Join us as we continue to unpack God’s heart for rescue in Romans. Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49139433 Prayer Requests: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2553/responses/new 23.09.24
Romans 2:1-16 // Gabe Coyle The verdict is that judging someone makes you the worst. Wait? I guess I’m not allowed to say that. But at least it's not as bad as some people. Oh boy, I did it again. Everyone hates a judgy posture, even Jesus and Paul, but why? Christians answer this question differently than the rest of the world, and the reason may surprise even the most faithful of followers. Join us as we continue to unpack God’s heart for rescue in Romans. Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49135913 Prayer Requests: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2553/responses/new
Romans 1:24-32 // Gabe Coyle What would a world without God look like? What would we be like? How would we show up in such a world? What is its end or trajectory? Join us as we continue to see how deep God’s rescue runs for all who call on the name of Jesus.
