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 - April 8

Sometimes it’s important to stop and celebrate what the Lord is doing. We’ll see that when we get to the Song of Moses after the Israelites depart Egypt. The cycles of life bring constant challenges, trials, and decisions, so stopping to reflect and celebrate is hugely important to break the rhythm, and cultivate thankfulness to the Lord. With that in mind, we should be celebrating some good things happening around CBC. We just had a great Easter weekend, with visitors attending,… read more

What are the implications of the resurrection? Paul tells us if Christ has not been raised, we are still stuck in our sin, and our faith is in vain. The resurrection of Jesus proves that Jesus defeated sin, Satan, and death. If Jesus did not rise from the dead, and if those enemies are not defeated, then we are stuck. We have no hope to conquer sin. No hope after death – death has the final say. And no power against the spiritual powers that war against humanity. The resurrection gives… read more

I am getting excited for Easter Sunday, and am very excited about the Christianity Explored class that will take place the weeks after. That will class is geared toward new believers or unbelievers, and will go through the gospel of Mark. If you know someone who might be interested, invite them or even bring them along. As this is a class for non or new believers, we don’t want to crowd it with longtime Christians. However, if you have a friend or know someone who might be interested and… read more

Did the water really turn to blood? Was this a miraculous event, or a natural phenomenon? People argue for both sides, and do so for just about every miracle in the Exodus. So it will help us to consider, can these things be “natural” events, or are they truly miracles from God? On the one hand, God can work any miracle; even one like turning water to blood. Even if the water turning to actual blood would cause cataclysmic effects (as you imagine it would), God is able to reverse… read more

Resurrection Sunday is on its way! For a number of patently obvious reasons, I’m particularly excited for Easter this year. On that Sunday will make a temporary move to two services in order to open up greater space. So I anticipate Easter Sunday will serve as a great day for many to return to gathered worship of Jesus our King. There should be plenty of space in the worship service, our mask mandate will still be in effect, and we will try to do all we can to make everyone comfortable.… read more

This is an exciting time for CBC. The Lord has blessed us in many ways, which I hope to further highlight in the weeks ahead. One of the great challenges and opportunities that lies before us is how we continue to regather together in corporate worship and smaller groups as we navigate the next stage of the Covid-19 epidemic. At the Family Gathering on Sunday, we shared an overview of our plan for the months ahead. I want to reiterate that plan below, with a couple of pastoral perspectives.… read more

This Sunday, after the service, we have our “Family Gathering” (some churches call them business meetings), which we aim to start right about noon. It occurred to me today that a number of CBCers are relatively new, and haven’t been around for a Family Gathering in pre-Covid days. So you might not know what to expect! Here are the basic details, in case you are wondering. We have two Family Gatherings each year; one in February and one in July. At the July gathering, we… read more

In the garden, after Adam and Eve sinned, God confronted Adam about the eating of the forbidden fruit. Adam’s response is classic in its obvious sinfulness. We know it well. Adam responds by blaming Eve, and ultimately blaming God. “The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.” Eve’s response is hardly better. “The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” In modern parlance we call it… read more

Believe it or not, there are some thoughts or tidbits that I am not able to fit into the Sunday morning sermon. Last week, we talked about the personal name of God – YHWH. Whenever you see LORD fully capitalized in Scripture, know that it is a translation of YHWH. It is used because we lost the correct pronunciation of YHWH. Another name of God that came into usage was the term “Jehovah.” We are all familiar with that name, but many may not know where it came from. Jehovah is… read more

This Sunday is Super Bowl Sunday, once again with our Chiefs playing. I’ll admit that football is not my sports first love, but I still plan on watching and enjoying the game, and all the festivities that accompany. And anticipating Sunday reminds me of the inherent goodness in enjoying the little things in life. As Paul reminds us, asceticism (severe self-discipline and deprivation of enjoyable things) is of no spiritual value (see Colossians 2:16-23). Rather, God gives good gifts such… read more

One of my favorite Bible verses is Hebrews 10:24-25; “24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” One of the interesting assumptions here is that as we get closer to the day of the Lord’s return, we will need mutual encouragement all the more. Why would we need to encourage one another… read more

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
