In Our Devotions Attitude Matters

In Our Devotions Attitude Matters Are there some things you may need to change about how you spend your devotion time with God? Psalm 46:10 “He says, “Be still, and know that I am God.” Quiet time, personal devotion, meditating on the word, no matter what you call it, I’ve noticed a greater need personally to be in God’s presence lately. Intimacy with God tends to be more organic when we go through new struggles and experiences. But sometimes I…

New Sermon Series: Being Honest with God: The Psalms

THIS WEEKEND:  5-24-20 How Long Lord? Psalm 13:1-6 During times of extreme hardship and suffering, is when our faith is put to the test. Do we really believe in Jesus as our Lord and Savior or are we just reciting platitudes of a slightly religious world view? The Corona-virus has crashed into our world, and it reveals a plethora of world views that can’t answer the problem of suffering and death. So, let’s deal with it. Join us as we…

Who is Jesus, Really?

Who is Jesus…..Really??   Notes from Elder Jim Shedd   Introduction   In his letter to the Colossians, Paul’s first 14 verses stress the “content”  of  the Christian faith as Jesus Christ – the only source of spiritual wisdom and understanding.  We are to keep our focus on Him as our center, and not be tempted to follow strange promises of  “hidden, secret, and special”  knowledge elsewhere.  The content of our faith is bound up in our relationship with God…

God Hasn’t Changed!

God Hasn’t Changed! 1 Peter 1:24-25          For, “All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, 25 but the word of the Lord endures forever.” It’s Wednesday of Holy Week, but in many ways if feels like any other evening before a regular Thursday. This year there were no palm branches being passed out by the children last Sunday. No shouts in the sanctuary of “Blessed…

God Blesses Us Even In Times Of Doubt        

God Blesses Us Even In Times Of Doubt                                                      1 Peter 1:3-9 Finding Peace In The Storm (Series)   What can we say to people who asks why God allows bad things to happen to good people? God knows what’s going on He has a plan. Our lives are not a series or random accidents. God uses the joyful times and the times of great pain and sorrow to produce the fullness of life that brings depth and purpose. Not…

“There isn’t anyone you couldn’t love once you’ve heard their story ” 

“There isn’t anyone you couldn’t love once you’ve heard their story ”   At CBF, we have a ministry that takes various items to people that may need a little help during the week.  When we first started talking about this ministry, we talked to leaders at Serenity Hall in Skyway about setting up outside their meeting place.  There were quite a few homeless people in the area, so it seemed like a good fit.  When Serenity Hall said they…

Struggling With A New Perspective

2 Peter 3:9 says, “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” My oldest son is a certified lifeguard. He told me, the right way to save someone who is drowning in the ocean is to wait for them to stop trying to save themselves. When they stop flailing, put your arm around them from the back and…

Martin Luther during after the Bubonic Plague (1527)

Thank you Elder Aaron for sharing this: Martin Luther, the archetypical Reformer, was a 16th century German author, theologian, and pastor. He is known for his stance against the Catholic church, but he had a pastoral heart and cared deeply for his people and longed for them to know the truth of the glorious gospel. After the Bubonic Plague of 1527, Martin Luther wrote a pamphlet entitled, Whether One May Flee From a Deadly Plague: If it be God’s will that…

Finding Peace In The Storm (Series)

New Series Intro A few days ago I finished a 14 day quarantine. I was able to think for the first time in a while and my chest and bones no longer ached, so I decided to go for a short walk. I hadn’t been able to listen to the news, so I was in the dark about how things with the Coronavirus had progressed. As I walked pass the house’s I saw lots of cars in the driveways and…

March 15 Sermon and songs posted

Dear Church Family, We regret to inform everyone CBF will be taking a one week break and not having Service this Sunday March 15th.    The sermon and songs have been posted.   Eldership feels we should “take a breather” as some membership and staff heal from other illnesses unrelated to the virus threat.  We also want to be good stewards to our community and follow regional health guidelines about limiting gatherings. We pray this will pass quickly and we…
