Romans 7:7-13 // Paul BrandesOne 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.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/49214772PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2542/responses/new24.03.24

Romans 7:1-6 // John DaigleWhat 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. SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/49214771PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2553/responses/new24.03.17

Romans 6:12-14 // Charles Casco 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 graceSERMON NOTES (YouVersion):https://bible.com/events/49221841PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2542/responses/new24.10.03

Romans 6:1-11 // Jonathan NeefWe all love a good rescue story. But what happens after the rescue? Is that the end? Is there any more? Today we are in the book of Romans where the first five chapters have highlighted our need for a rescue. Today, beginning in chapter six, we will see that we were not only rescued from something but that we are rescued for something. Specifically, we have not only been rescued from sin and death but we are rescued for Life. And not just any life but life with Christ. What does that look like? Join us as we take a deeper look.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion):  https://bible.com/events/49214774PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2574/responses/new24.02.25

Psalm 13:1-6//Taylor Fair“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. SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://www.bible.com/events/49209495PRAYER REQUESTS:https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2546/responses/new24.02.18

Matthew 22:15-22 // Brooks NesseHow should Christians relate to politics and the government? No doubt you have some negative examples of what Christians should NOT do, but what is the Christian calling in our political environment?Thankfully God’s word and Christians throughout history have wrestled through this very question. Join us as we continue to explore difficult questions aimed at the Christian faith and specifically seek clarity of faithful and fruitful presence in a politically heightened time. SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://www.bible.com/events/49205724PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2542/responses/new24.02.04

Matthew 5:27-30; Hebrews 10:22-23 // Bill GormanIf you are not a Christian and the Christian sex ethic has seemed brewsdespairing 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. SERMON NOTES (YouVersion):: https://www.bible.com/events/49198314PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2574/responses/new24.01.28 - Republished from Brookside

Regardless of your theological position or where you land on gender responsibilities within the home and in the church. Regardless, all of us should seek to avoid the mistreatment of women. All of us should seek to empower, develop, and learn from women and protect them from abuse. And if there are distortions of Christianity that have led to harm, we want to expose them for what they are. Distortions. Here’s what we need to remember: Mistreatment of women is always a distortion of God’s heart. Mistreatment of women is always a mistreatment of Scripture.Prayer Requests: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2574/responses/new
