Life has a way of pulling us in different directions and when that happens its not just us that feels it, our friends and family feel it too! Nobody gets to skip out on this part of life, but Christians have something rare and powerful when these times come. What is it? Well, you'll just have to join us as we continue our study of the Book of Philippians.Sermon Notes: https://bible.com/events/49303626Give Online: https://cpceco.org/givingQuickLinks: https://cpceco.info/links
We've all seen it, that inspirational picture on the office wall of the lone mountain climber, reaching unimaginable heights on her own power alone. -- We often imagine that this is what faith will make us into; godly individuals who no longer need anything but God. But this week in our study of Philippians we see the exact opposite. Faithful people called to such great heights by God that they could only succeed with other faithful people around them. Sound more like what we actually need? Join us Sunday and we'll explore the topic together!Sermon Notes: https://bible.com/events/49296788Give Online: https://cpceco.org/givingQuickLinks: https://cpceco.info/links

If you could chose a life lived for great and mighty purpose or a life of simple humility, which would you chose? Our scripture this week suggests something significant -- that in order to have one you must have the other and that Christians are called to passionately pursue both these things!

Have you been to prison yet? Some prisons come with iron bars and guards, but others are less obvious -- battles that must be fought, situations we didn't ask for, setbacks undeserved. This week in our study of the book of Philippians we'll see first hand why Jesus can even change the way we feel about our greatest setbacks in life and how we respond when others in our life find themselves "imprisoned."Sermon Notes: https://bible.com/events/49287030Give Online: https://cpceco.org/givingQuickLinks: https://cpceco.info/links
Would you say you are a joyful person? This week we start a new journey through the book of Philippians.

Not everyone would say they believe in prayer, but sooner or later almost everyone prays. Isn't that interesting? And of course Jesus repeatedly taught His followers to be praying people. So, what is so powerful about prayer and what should we expect from God when we pray?Sermon Notes: https://bible.com/events/49277228Give Online: https://cpceco.org/givingQuickLinks: https://cpceco.info/links
What do you do when people hurt you? Do you forgive? Do you set boundaries? Does it slip your mind after a few days, or do you remember it? Jesus uses His sermon on the mount to push us further and further into His view of life, and this week he asks us to do the hardest thing of all. To love the people who hurt us. What is He thinking? Is this even possible? Join us Sunday and we'll talk about it.Sermon Notes: https://bible.com/events/49267484Give Online: https://cpceco.org/givingQuickLinks: https://cpceco.info/links

Have you ever been unexpectedly and unreservedly generous? Have you ever been the recipient of unexpected generosity? No matter what side of the equation you are on generosity can be life changing. Jesus of course calls us to a life of generosity. Perhaps more importantly he tells us how to actually become a naturally generous person. Join us Sunday as we take a look at Jesus' teaching on the generous life.Sermon Notes: https://bible.com/events/49239358Give Online: https://cpceco.org/givingQuickLinks: https://cpceco.info/links
Jesus was well known for his love of children. He even told the adults closest to Him that they should be more like children in their faith.

Have you ever wanted to just hit the reset button on life? You might say something like, "If only I could just go back a few years in time, take a different path, make a different choice..." It's an alluring idea, but this week's scripture says something important. It says that we don't need a second try at things. What we need is to be transformed from the inside out, right now in the middle of our situation. What does this mean? Is this even possible? Join us Sunday and we'll talk about it.Sermon Notes: https://bible.com/events/49221684Give Online: https://cpceco.org/givingQuickLinks: https://cpceco.info/links
Most of us have friends who are religious and a few that aren't. Of course, from a distance it can seem like they are all the same... a few prayers, a good deed or two. Our scripture this week says something very different. It says that Christianity is actually not a religion at all. In fact, it says that Christianity is almost like "un-religion." Intrigued?

Do you feel pressure? Most of us do in one form or another. Of course sometimes the pressure we feel is unfair, but other times it's totally reasonable. Perhaps you feel like the author of this week's Bible passage when he says, "I don't understand myself. I do things I don't want to do and do things I don't want to do!" What's a person to do? Join us this week and we'll consider what the Bible has to say about it.Sermon Notes: https://bible.com/events/49210002Give Online: https://cpceco.org/givingQuickLinks: https://cpceco.info/links
David, son of Jesse, King of the Twelve Tribes of Israel will forever be remembered. He tended sheep. He fought giants. He betrayed his family. He forgave his enemies. He battled his son.

When was the last time you got in a fight? Most of the time we don't plan on it. The words just start coming, the tension rises and the damage is done.

Just. Have. Faith. People say it all the time, but does faith really change any thing? Isn't it a bit of a cop out? Just believe in God and then everything will just be ok?
