Who Is Jesus? (Gospel of Matthew)
He slipped quietly out of heaven and lived a normal life in a very normal place. But when He was about 30 years old, He showed that He was anything but normal. Ever since, people have been talking about Him all over the world. Matthew wrote his gospel to answer the questions people were asking in the first century: Who was Jesus? What did He teach? What did He do? The answers reveal a King who is so significant that all history revolves around Him. Click here for an outline of this message.
God Has Spoken! (New Testament Overview)
From beginning (Genesis 1:3: “Then God said…”) to end (Revelation 22:20: Jesus “testifies…I am coming quickly!”), the confident claim of the Bible is this: God has spoken! How has He spoken? What has He said? How should we respond? Click here for an outline of these message.
Philemon—Forgiveness Applied
What does forgiveness look like? Does your church model it? Friend of CBC, Paul Lavery, shares four components of a forgiving body of Christ—principles derived from the precious New Testament book of Philemon. Click here for an outline of this message.
The Family Series: Connect, Grow, Serve
What exactly was Jesus commanding when He gave the Great Commission? And how can we fulfill the Great Commission in our day and time? We must first understand the commands of Jesus and how the early church understood those commands. Our vision is to challenge every person to connect with Christ and His Church, to grow to maturity in Christ and to serve as part of the Body of Christ. This may be one of the most important messages of the year. Click here for an outline of the message.
The Family Series: A Family of Families
Strong families make strong churches make strong families make strong churches. The interconnectedness of family and church is largely foreign to American Christianity, but it is vital to Biblical Christianity. We need to rethink church—it should be a family of families. We need to rethink our commitment to God's household. Listen. Click here for an outline of this message.
The Family Series: Let Freedom Ring—Divorce and Remarriage
We can't talk about "family" in America without discussing divorce and remarriage. Have you never been married? Are you currently married? Are you divorced? Are you re-married? This message has a challenge for every one of us.
The Family Series: Undistracted Devotion
Most people don't choose singleness. It's a difficult path in many ways and Jesus indicates that it requires special gifting. But, Paul—a single man himself—encourages it because of the many benefits to those who desire to serve the Lord with "undistracted devotion" (1 Corinthians 7:35). And, history shows us that some of God's greatest servants have chosen to remain single. While marriage is the norm, the church should have a right attitude toward those who are single—even honoring those who choose singleness for the right reasons.
The Family Series: Of The Lord—Parents
There is a multitude of opinions about how children should be brought up. Books, magazines, radio programs and a sea of websites offer all the latest insights from all the latest experts on child-rearing. Who do we listen to? Who should we read? The answer, of course, is that the Bible provides us with the timeless answers we need. The instructions for parents are clear and proven and sufficient. In this message, Pastor LePage takes close look at Ephesians 6:4 and the circle of protection God has provided for children.
The Family Series: Circle of Protection—Children
Everyone wants to live a rich, full and long life. Parents especially want life to go well for their children and they want them to live a very long time. Well, life is certainly full of unexpected twists and turns, but the Bible does give general guidelines for how children—and their parents—can live life to the fullest. In this message, we examine these important principles through the instructions given to children in Ephesians 6:1-3.
The Family Series: The Husband—Just As Christ
For a great marriage, there are many important ingredients. The most important is love. But love is often misunderstood. It is thought to be an emotion—something that can change as quickly as the weather. But when the Apostle Paul told husbands to love their wives, he didn't just stop there. He explained love. He held up the ultimate example of love. Listen to this message to better understand the role of the husband.
