March 9th, 2025 - 2 Timothy 3:10-17 03/10/2025

March 9th, 2025 - 2 Timothy 3:10-17 How much confidence do you have in your sources? Do you feel like you can base your life fully on your favorite political commentator or lifestyle influencer? We all want the life that God has planned for us, but how can we know what to trust and how to get there? Join us this weekend as we learn about a better way of life and what we can base our life on to get there. /episode/index/show/communityfellowship/id/35606365

March 2nd, 2025 - 2 Timothy 3:1-9 03/03/2025

March 2nd, 2025 - 2 Timothy 3:1-9 Have you ever worried about the genuineness or the potential counterfeits of the things you love? How would it feel to discover that the item that you spent so much on was but a hollow imitation? Join us this weekend on either site, as we receive see Paul encourage young Timothy and us to avoid an empty type of religion. /episode/index/show/communityfellowship/id/35512055

February 23th, 2025 - 2 Timothy 2:20-26 02/27/2025

February 23th, 2025 - 2 Timothy 2:20-26 Would you like to know that God is using you for good purposes? I think we all would like to escape the mundane and be part of God’s world…to bring meaning to our workplace, pray with someone, give helpful advice, help resolve a conflict, or be part of a healing process for someone. This weekend we are going to look at what helps make us vessels of honor, “useful to the master of the house”, rather than vessels of dishonor. /episode/index/show/communityfellowship/id/35462040

February 17th, 2025 - 2 Timothy 2:14-19 02/17/2025

February 17th, 2025 - 2 Timothy 2:14-19 Christians are ‘one’ in Christ. So then why are there so many church factions and fights? Paul tells Timothy, “don’t quarrel over words” (2:14). Does that mean just be quiet and never dispute doctrines and practices? How do we fight right! What is bad quarrel? How do we fight for truth? How can we let disputes become transformative and helpful to us? Join us this weekend to explore this. /episode/index/show/communityfellowship/id/35313405

February 10th, 2025 - 2 Timothy 2:3-7 02/10/2025

February 10th, 2025 - 2 Timothy 2:3-7 Have you ever been tempted to quit on Jesus? Maybe you've found yourself discouraged in sharing the gospel or being servant-minded in a relationship, when things just aren't working. Join us this weekend, as 2 Timothy 2:3-11 gives us encouragement to endure to the end. /episode/index/show/communityfellowship/id/35222470

February 2nd, 2025 - 2 Timothy 1:13-2:2 02/03/2025

February 2nd, 2025 - 2 Timothy 1:13-2:2 The vibe in our passage is a bit like ‘passing the baton’. Paul (facing execution) is challenging Timothy to “follow the pattern of sound words”. What was the pattern? How did we get the ‘sound’ or trustworthy words of the Bible? If someone said to you, “How do we know you can trust the Bible?” What would you say? Following the pattern includes life on life disciple- making. What does that look like? Join us this weekend to find out more. /episode/index/show/communityfellowship/id/35128200

January 26th, 2025 - 2 Timothy 1:8-12 01/27/2025

January 26th, 2025 - 2 Timothy 1:8-12 I recently had an opportunity to share my faith with the hostess of our vacation condo, but I chose to play it safe and be a ‘good’ guest and leave a nice tip. Is that ok? Should we as believers mostly do the good works, or should we use words to share the gospel, or even with urgency be “…snatching them from the flame…” (Jude 1:23)? In our passage, Paul, who is facing execution for sharing the gospel, is challenging timid Timothy to be full of boldness when it comes to talking about Jesus. Join us this weekend as we explore this topic. /episode/index/show/communityfellowship/id/35028890

January 20th, 2025 - 2 Timothy 1:1-7 01/20/2025

January 20th, 2025 - 2 Timothy 1:1-7 What are you living for? What drives you? In our new series, ‘Multiply’, we find Paul driven by the ‘promise of life’! He is facing execution, and yet without slipping into self-pity, he is fully focused on making disciples. No fear. No distraction. Endearing relationships. A clear conscience. Wow. Join us this weekend to be inspired by Paul’s example. /episode/index/show/communityfellowship/id/34923580

January 12th, 2025 - Ephesians 4:11-16 01/13/2025

January 12th, 2025 - Ephesians 4:11-16 What is a church? What does it mean to be a part of one? Is it simply to come and watch service and get something out of it, or is it more than that? Join us this weekend as we discuss Ephesians chapter 4 and learn together how a gathering of Christians is meant to operate. /episode/index/show/communityfellowship/id/34835870

January 5th, 2025 - Mark 10 01/06/2025

January 5th, 2025 - Mark 10 Before cementing in our new year’s resolutions, it’s good to remember who we belong to. US Christianity by nature tends to be self-serving. That’s normal for any people-group who live in freedom and prosperity. Mark 10 takes us to an interesting scene where Jesus is heading uphill to Jerusalem to be crucified and lay down His life, and James and John ask, “We want you to do whatever we ask.” This leads to an amazing teaching that helps us create the framework for all of our resolutions. /episode/index/show/communityfellowship/id/34739110

December 29th, 2024 - Exodus 13:3-10 12/30/2024

December 29th, 2024 - Exodus 13:3-10 Do you ever read through the Bible and get surprised when God's people in the Old Testament betray him? How could they forget all the miracles that God did? When we look at our own lives we find that we operate in the same way. Join us as we discover a tool and encouragement that God has given us to ensure that our hearts stay close to him and we have a faith that lasts. /episode/index/show/communityfellowship/id/34657105

December 24th, 2024 - Christmas Eve Service 12/30/2024

December 24th, 2024 - Christmas Eve Service Join us at CFC as we celebrate the birth of our savior. /episode/index/show/communityfellowship/id/34656940

December 22nd, 2024 - Advent Love 12/23/2024

December 22nd, 2024 - Advent Love The Christmas season is a great time to give and receive love. In reality, if we are honest, it can be a bit tense at times. This season can highlight the lack of love around us. The fact that we lack the deep love others are looking for, and others don’t seem to fill our tank as we wish they would. (Did you get all the gifts yet?). The solution is for us to look more closely at the love of our Father, to “see” it, and to let it transform us from the inside out. Join us this weekend to explore. Consider inviting a friend. /episode/index/show/communityfellowship/id/34580890

December 15th, 2024 - Advent Joy 12/16/2024

December 15th, 2024 - Advent Joy You've likely experienced or are currently experiencing some deep sorrow or suffering in this life. If God is all good and all-powerful, why do we have to experience sorrow and suffering? Join us as we discuss God's response to the sorrow we experience and His plan for our Joy. /episode/index/show/communityfellowship/id/34469415

December 8th, 2024 - Advent Peace 12/09/2024

December 8th, 2024 - Advent Peace According to the American Psychological Association, “Anxiety is an emotion characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts, and physical changes like increased blood pressure.” Notice that it begins with thoughts and feelings and can ultimately lead to physical problems. In our study, Judah was at an all-time high in terms of anxiety. The brutal empire of Assyria was at the gates, threatening to torture and destroy them. Isaiah 9:4-5 speaks of God breaking the “rod of the oppressor.” The implications of this statement are far-reaching, especially in light of what comes next in Isaiah 9:6: “…and His name shall be called…Prince of Peace…” Join us as we unpack the implications of Jesus being our Prince of Peace. What should we expect? How does He address the anxiety we feel? And what can be done? /episode/index/show/communityfellowship/id/34347010

December 1st, 2024 - Advent Hope 12/02/2024

December 1st, 2024 - Advent Hope We are not in control. It’s a raw feeling, and it leads to fear and despair. The alternative for us, is to trust that this child that is ‘given’ is our “mighty God.” He sees us, and He cares about us! That takes everything that is ‘raw’, and gives us hope. Join us for the start of Advent, from despair to hope! /episode/index/show/communityfellowship/id/34234855

November 24th, 2024 - 1 Corinthians 16:1-24 11/24/2024

November 24th, 2024 - 1 Corinthians 16:1-24 Do you have a plan for your life? As Christians, we often seek to be led by the Spirit, but how does that affect the plans we make? Is it wise to make plans, or should we simply wait for guidance? This weekend, we’ll dive into 1 Corinthians 16 and explore how Paul approached his plans in light of God’s will. Join us as we discuss how to live with intention while being open to the leading of the Spirit. /episode/index/show/communityfellowship/id/34125206

November 17th, 2024 - 1 Corinthians 15:35-58 11/18/2024

November 17th, 2024 - 1 Corinthians 15:35-58 Tom Brady was interviewed on CBS in 2016. He said, “Why do I have three Super Bowl rings and still think there is something greater out there for me? Maybe a lot of people out there would say, ‘Hey man, this is what it is!’. I’ve reached my goal, I’ve reached my dream. Me, I think, ‘God, there’s gotta be more than this.’” It’s ironic that he uses the word “God”, in his cry for purpose. This weekend join us to discover the excitement and the implications of receiving our new resurrection bodies. What will our actual future life be like? How does that inspire us today? /episode/index/show/communityfellowship/id/33975107

November 10th, 2024 - 1 Corinthians 15:1-34 11/11/2024

November 10th, 2024 - 1 Corinthians 15:1-34 Jesus is alive!! He is not just a ghost. He literally, physically rose from the dead. There is undeniable evidence of the fact, and it has major implications. It means that He is with you today, and able to break into our physical world and impact us now. It means that you will not perish, but be transformed into a new physical body of which Jesus is the ‘firstfruits’, and it means that Jesus is above all powers and religions and people groups. Join us this weekend to explore the evidence and implications of the resurrection of Christ. /episode/index/show/communityfellowship/id/33880752

November 3th, 2024 - Matthew 6:24 11/04/2024

November 3th, 2024 - Matthew 6:24 What if I told you there was carbon monoxide filling your house? Poison in the very air you breathe? You can't detect it because it's become your norm. This is how it is with money and greed in our culture. It's the air we breathe, and many of us are unaware of the danger lurking within. Join us this weekend as we explore the warnings surrounding money and discover how to navigate these challenges together. /episode/index/show/communityfellowship/id/33775442

October 27th, 2024 - 2 Corinthians 8-9 10/28/2024

October 27th, 2024 - 2 Corinthians 8-9 This weekend we are excited to tackle what it means to be a “River Church”, and not a “Dead Sea” church. As in Corinth, God has called us towards radical generosity. “He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness.” 2 Cor. 9:10 God wants us to become increasingly more open-handed as He transforms us from being an end unto ourselves, to being a channel of God’s blessing. Join us this weekend to explore counter-cultural truths about giving. /episode/index/show/communityfellowship/id/33645487

October 20th, 2024 - 1 Corinthians 14:1-40 10/22/2024

October 20th, 2024 - 1 Corinthians 14:1-40 When we become believers, we have both natures within us—our natural self and God’s spirit. We easily switch back and forth between the two. The church at Corinth was allowing their natural self to infiltrate their church gatherings and it was causing hurt. Join us this weekend to understand how we can build each other up in church and thereby represent Christ well. /episode/index/show/communityfellowship/id/33568432

October 13th, 2024 - 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 10/14/2024

October 13th, 2024 - 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 Have you ever been hurt by the community around you? Have you felt offended or wounded by the people in church or in your household? How do we deal with the friction and pain that is caused by a good community? Join us this weekend as we discuss what 1 Corinthians 13 describes as a "more excellent way" to help keep us unified. /episode/index/show/communityfellowship/id/33448647

October 6th, 2024 - 1 Corinthians 12:1-31 10/07/2024

October 6th, 2024 - 1 Corinthians 12:1-31 What a great opportunity we have as a church to be unified and buy into being part of the “Body life” at CFC. It’s a huge blessing. It’s hard; it will transform you! Unlike our divided and splintered culture, we have Jesus as our common confession, we are empowered by God, and have manifestations of His Spirit working through us. When working together, amazing things happen. What are your spiritual gifts, and how might God be using you to build up the body? /episode/index/show/communityfellowship/id/33359092

September 29th, 2024 - 1 Corinthians 11:2-34 09/30/2024

September 29th, 2024 - 1 Corinthians 11:2-34 Gender roles in our culture can make people cringe, largely due to the many abuses of power and lack of understanding of the gospel. What does the Bible say about this, and how can we live in such a way that we are honoring of one another? /episode/index/show/communityfellowship/id/33261532

September 22nd, 2024 - 1 Corinthians 10:14-30 09/23/2024

September 22nd, 2024 - 1 Corinthians 10:14-30 Doesn't it feel like some practices that we read in the bible are way out of date and context? Idolatry? "I'm not making little statues, no big deal." This weekend we are going to explore how idolatry is far more than that and learn together what to do about it. /episode/index/show/communityfellowship/id/33169327

September 15th, 2024 - 1 Corinthians 9:24-10:13 09/16/2024

September 15th, 2024 - 1 Corinthians 9:24-10:13 What would you say to someone who says that you are only a Christian because of your parents or your background? Can you be born into Christianity? Join us this weekend as we look at the idea that your faithfulness is a choice. /episode/index/show/communityfellowship/id/33072262

September 8th, 2024 - 1 Corinthians 9:1-23 09/09/2024

September 8th, 2024 - 1 Corinthians 9:1-23 Do you get fired up about being part of something bigger than yourself? Does the idea of being used by God to do something great sound inspiring? Join us this weekend as we look at the ministry of Paul and see what the scripture has to say about how we can be a part of more kingdom work. /episode/index/show/communityfellowship/id/32976967

September 1st, 2024 - 1 Corinthians 8 09/03/2024

September 1st, 2024 - 1 Corinthians 8 Is it ok to smoke marijuana, watch R-rated movies, drink alcohol, wear skin-tight clothing, have a tattoo, and have unfiltered access to the internet (all at once-Ha!)? What does the Bible say about these things? The truth is that some of these things are not as ‘black and white’ as we might think. We see right and wrong through various lenses. How should we decide what to do in the ‘gray’ areas of life? Join us this weekend to explore. /episode/index/show/communityfellowship/id/32885962

August 25th, 2024 - 1 Corinthians 7:17-40 08/26/2024

August 25th, 2024 - 1 Corinthians 7:17-40 At Corinth they struggled with discontent, always looking to improve their status in some way. Paul encourages them to “remain” in the condition they are in. Join us this weekend to explore the dynamics of discontent and how to have an undivided heart towards Jesus. Also, to all 565 of our volunteers, we want to say thank you! /episode/index/show/communityfellowship/id/32749192
