Shaun LePage — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 19:44:34 +0000

When was the last time you asked, "What's the point?" Why do we join a church? Why do we meet together? Why do we pray, worship, study, give, etc.? Is it thepastor's job to make sure everyone is happy? Is it the congregation's job to passively attend whenever the doors are open? In this message, Pastor LePage answers some of these important questions about what it means to be a member of the Body of Christ.

Elder Scott Schultz helps us answer the question, "Can I develop leadership skills in order to become more effective for Christ in my circles of influence?" One of the primary goals of the CBC leadership is to develop a growing number of leaders and set them free to do the work of ministry.

East of the Garden, Part 2 (Genesis 3:16-24)

Shaun LePage — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 19:40:36 +0000

How did the world get somessed up? Does God see us here in the midst of our messed up world? Is the old children’s song really true...“red and yellow, black and white, they areprecious in His sight, Jesus loves the little children of the world”? The Bible has the answers to these questions. It explains how we got here—east of Eden. Outside the paradise God wanted us to have. Only if we understand our past can we know how to live in the present. And only if we understand God’s explanation for how this world got so messed up can we know real hope for the future. Pastor LePage continues a series of messages from Genesis 1-11 by examining Genesis 3:6-24—commonly known as "The Fall".

Knowing Good and Evil (Genesis 3:1-6)

Shaun LePage — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 18:30:52 +0000

Genesis means “beginning,” which is perfect—the book describes the beginning of the physical universe, light, sky,land, animals, people, etc. Genesis 3 tells us about the beginning of something we could have lived without: sin. A right understanding of it is fundamental to a Christian worldview. No one can deny that the world is filled with the effects of sin, but not everyone understands that it has not always been this way and how our world got this way. Genesis 3 explains!

Anxious Longing (Genesis to Revelation)

Shaun LePage — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 18:27:25 +0000

Ever feel like a sea lion in the desert? Do you feel as though something’s not right—not the way it should be? Your life feels like a small, muddy water hole (if not a desert) but your soul longs for an ocean. Romans 8 tells us we all have an “anxious longing". Even in Christ, we “anxiously long” for an ocean we’ve never seen—“...the glory that is to be revealed to us...the revealing of the sons of God...we eagerly wait...” This message is a sweep of the entire Bible intended to help us understand this anxious longing and how to thrive in the desert.

Resolve to Live! Grow Like Jesus Did!

Luke tells us all we need to know about Jesus' childhood: "And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men" (Luke 2:52). Elder David Barfield challenged us to apply this verse to our own lives by resolving to grow in four important ways.

God With Us—A Visit with Joseph (Matthew 1:18-25)

Shaun LePage — Sun, 25 Dec 2011 08:05:02 +0000

What would it be like to visit with those characters we see in the nativity sets? Would we find them to be normal people whom God used in amazing ways? We would. Pastor LePage portrayed Joseph for us on Christmas morning to help us see more clearly what Joseph must have learned from his experience as Jesus' guardian. The lessons are for all of us and they're timeless.

One Flesh, Part 2 (Genesis 2:18-25)

Shaun LePage — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 08:00:54 +0000

After creating all things and declaring them “very good”, God said something strange. He said something was “not good” in His perfect creation. He created man, put him in the garden, and said, “It is not good for the man to be alone.” God’s solution to this dilemma has been the greatest source of joy as well as pain for mankind ever since. In this message, Pastor LePage will continue the series of messages from Genesis 1-11 by looking at the creation of woman in Genesis chapter 2.
