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…

Bible Basics (What Every Christian Ought to Know)
Bible Basics by Deaconess Pat Haynes This blog is about Bible Basics ~ what every Christian Believer ought to know. I am writing this blog to the women of our church family who may not be attending our ongoing Women Bible Study (WBS). I am aware that there may be several reasons not to attend a WBS. It may be time, or you may feel you don’t know your bible well enough or maybe you had a negative experience with…
The Power of Praise
“The Power of Praise” Elder Jim Shedd 9/15/18 Acts 16 covers a part of Paul’s second missionary journey (with Luke, Timothy, and Silas) when they are directed by the Holy Spirit to leave Asia and go into Macedonia. Acts 16:6-10 Paul and his companions traveled throughout the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been kept by the Holy Spirit from preaching the word in the province of Asia. When they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to…
God’s Ways
GOD’S WAYS GOD’S WAYS: The biblical God is one who insists He will be seen in nature, and also is one who gives leave to chance (randomness) – he allows free will and injustice. So is He in control? The greatest point of contention between science and religion arises when believers insist God directly controls nature (like a puppeteer) while scientists insist that nature can run “on its own”. Which is right? According to the Bible, that divine control…

The Time Between The Testaments
The Maccabees, Rome, and Herod By James Shedd – Community Bible Fellowship The time between the Testaments was one of ferment and change; a realignment of traditional power blocs and the passing of Near Eastern cultural traditions that had lasted for almost 3,000 years. The approximately 400 years between Malachi and the birth of Christ is known as the inter-testamental period (c430-4 BC). Sometimes called the “silent” years, they were anything but silent, as events, literature and social forces…
Coach of Men
We have all learned of Don James passing recently. He was one of the most honored men that have coached University of Washington football since the school’s inception. Many do not know how he continued to coach men in his later years. Kathryn and I visited four years ago a community next door to where we were vacationing in the Coachella Valley in California. It was an open house of a large community and after the “tour” we were invited…
Nearness is Likeness
I borrowed this title from A.W. Tozer, but the subject on my heart is somewhat different. I have been reflecting on why we should study our Bible. The title of this post was one of the first things that came to mind. I suppose there are many reasons people study the Word of God, but for me the core reason is to know God. In knowing God we draw near to his heart and consequently become more like Him.…
