Our Values

Community

We value strong, interdependent relationships in the church. As Christians, we were made to love and serve one another.

Bible

The Bible is the inspired word of God so it is important to us to know it and accurately preach it in context.

Church

Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. It is vital that believers regularly gather together to worship God, receive his word, and use our gifts to minister to one another.

Pastor's Note - January 21

This Saturday we will host a gathering/livestream of the “Ironmen Summit,” an annual conference put together by Flint Hills Bible Church. You can find info about that in our newsletter, and at this website: https://www.flinthillsbc.org/ironmen-summit-main. I am particularly enthused about the theme – endurance. What a timely encouragement. The various trials of life will test our endurance in the faith. I am increasingly aware of this as I see people fall away from the faith… read more

Christians have to be peacemakers. During our advent series, we took some time to focus on the truth that Christ is our peace, and we have peace in Him. Along with that theme, we recognize that Jesus says in Matthew 5:9; “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.” In other words, peacemaking is a proof of divine paternity. If you are a peacemaker, it is evidence that you belong to God, and are His child. Notice that this is more than just… read more

Jesus is Lord. As I have been wrestling with and praying about what to say this week, and considering the images and stories that have come through my newsfeed, and weigh all the arguments and opinions I am hearing, this is the phrase I keep coming back to: Jesus is Lord. When the early Christians made this profession, it was more than a statement on the sovereignty of Jesus (though certainly not less). It was also a statement of allegiance. “Jesus is Lord” is a profession that… read more

You may have noticed that many are rejoicing at the end of 2020. Many note that it was a difficult year, and now that this aberration of a year is behind us, we can finally move on to 2021, when all will be well. Of course, we know the reality of things. A turning on the page of the calendar does not magically make hardship disappear, or bring the arrival of shalom. 2021 may be more, less, or just as difficult as 2020 was. We have no guarantee our lives will improve over time on this earth. In… read more

One of my favorite Christmas traditions is the singing of Christmas hymns and carols. We even had some CBC Christmas-carolers stop by our home a couple evenings ago, which was delightful! Growing up, these songs were just catchy, familiar tunes that carried sentiment of Christmas-time. As I grew older, I started to realize the theological and biblical depth of so many (though not all!) of these songs. Consider “Hark, the Herald Angels Sing” which says; “Veiled in flesh the… read more

The other day I was talking to someone in the church who, by some miracle of the Lord, is actually finishing their whole-Bible-in-a-year devotional plan. I wasn't actually sure that was allowed... What a great testimony of God’s grace that they were actually able to see it through to the end of the year! That got me thinking about all the things I did not accomplish this year. And I am sure I am not alone. In any year, we may not have reached all of our goals, or accomplished all we… read more

Last Sunday we spent some talking about God’s love, and that God has true, emotional love for His people. He exults and rejoices over us. When we read Scripture, this is obvious throughout. However, there is some theological difficulty in wrapping our head around God’s “emotional” love. After all, if God is sovereign, and knows all things from beginning to end, how is it that He also experiences such responsive, emotive love? How can God become sad in a moment, over the… read more

Can we endure? Life is at times a marathon, at times a sprint. This past year has felt much more like a long, long marathon, requiring much endurance (and maybe at times a little bit of a sprint as well). But as we focused on hope last Sunday, I was reminded once again of the future hope we have, which is ours in the Lord. We have perfection waiting. In Christ, that is not a question at all. God will be more than good to all those who remain in Him. The only question is whether or not we will… read more

In line with our regularly scheduled week of thanks, I’ve was meditating on this prayer of thanks from Paul. I would encourage you to do the same! We may not be imprisoned as Paul was (though we may feel like it if we’re locked up at home), I know as a church we can share in Paul’s sentiments of thanks, and love for his fellow Christians, with whom he is partners in the gospel. May the Lord give us all thanks and love for one another, and his grace this season.… read more

Christmas is right around the corner, and we will soon be in advent season! One of my favorite times of the year. I’m particularly excited this year, as our sermon series will focus on the advent themes of joy, hope, love, and peace – all much-needed in our time. Christmas season is also a great time for traditions of family devotionals and worship, centered the arrival of Jesus Christ. So, I want to recommend some resources to you, that you and your family can use for your own… read more

We’ve got work to do. Specifically, the work of prayer! This is good work – work that unites us in heart and mind to our Father. It is work that restores and rejuvenates. But it is work all the same. And we need to be about this business, because there is much to be done here at CBC. As any church, we have clear mandates from our Lord to be about the business of equipping ministries and ministers, making disciples, and taking the gospel of salvation in Jesus to all those not… read more

As I write this, the election is officially (and predictably) undecided. It looks as though Biden will be our new president, though the Trump campaign is pushing back. Of course, regardless of what happens, Jesus will still be King. Thankfully, I’ve heard that same sentiment and trust from many of you! Regardless of what happens, God is still in control, and Jesus is still on the throne. As disciples of Jesus, we are more than anything citizens of His kingdom. That’s a wonderful… read more
