Equipping Of The Saints

Contributed by Delray Lentz on Nov 15, 2023

Usually, each Sunday, I ask two questions, but today there are a few more questions: Why are you here today? Not here @ CPC, but here on earth? Why were you given this day?

Here’s what I believe: Because as Christians, God’s not done with you yet. Now, if you haven’t accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior, we’ll visit about that a bit later. Maybe you’ve asked yourself that question in a different form- Do I have a calling? Am I fulfilling my calling? What are my ...read more

The Word, Love & Work Of God

Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Jan 19, 2014

Jesus is the Foundation of the Christian life. Upon that foundation there are three key pillars that enable to live the abundant life that Christ wants for us: God's Word, God's love and Grace, and our active engagement in doing the work of God.

Today we want to take an opportunity to think about strengthening and making firm the foundation of our lives. The parable that was just read talks about the importance of building on a sure foundation. If life was always calm, if there were no storms, if troubles never came our way, then perhaps ...read more

When You Talk To Your Father Series

Contributed by Nathan Johnson on Nov 29, 2007

We spend so much time on how to pray that we skip over the most important aspect of prayer, Why? What motivates us to pray? Is it to be seen by others and praised for our holy output? Or is it the resolute determination to just talk with our Father wit

Who Do You Say Jesus Is? Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Aug 14, 2014

The rejection of Jesus comes (painfully) from those who represent God (teachers, elders, etc.). This presents us with a challenge: Do we lead people to like us or to worship God? If it's all about Him, then we must be willing to give everything to Him!

Knowing God: The Source Of Wisdom Series

Contributed by Darryl Klassen on May 5, 2009

The writer of Job explains to us the difference between human wisdom and the wisdom that comes from God. How do we find wisdom?

KNOWING GOD: THE SOURCE OF WISDOM Why do we need wisdom? Someone said that knowledge is the ability to take something apart; wisdom is needed to put it back together again. I am not sure where that saying came from but I think it makes partial sense. A young man in our congregation told me ...read more
