Hello CMF,
Listen as I share more on the real Jesus of history and faith via a visual addendum to Will the Real Jesus Please Stand Up? (2 of 6) in our Knowing Jesus series. Also, I share a brief reminder about response times and why we do them at our church. Thanks for taking the time to watch!
Are you taking the time to read and encounter the Jesus of the Gospels?
Grace & Peace,
Pastor David
Hello CMF,
I'm excited to tell you about our new worship series beginning this Sunday!
In the fourth century AD the grassroots Jesus movement became an official religion. “Christianity” quickly became a dominant force in the Roman Empire, for good and for evil, taking to our faith a great deal that didn’t reflect Jesus’ life and teachings or the practice of the early apostolic churches.
There have been voices all throughout church history that have called us to repent of the things we’ve made it so that “knowing Jesus and making him known” might be at the center of our lives and the fuel of our faith. In its purest form, this is what it means to be an “evangelical” Christian.
In this six-part worship series, we will look at some of the challenges we face today in making Christ central and supreme in our lives and in our church. Saints and sinners alike will be invited to encounter the real Jesus of history and of faith in order to discover the abundant life he promised.
Knowing Jesus invites us to consider what it actually means to have a “personal relationship” with Christ—moving beyond our knowledge about him to personally experiencing Jesus by abiding in him. What does it mean to follow Jesus this way? How is it that all of the Christian life flows out of this?
Join us October 11th – November 15th for a series that goes to the heart of our faith.
See you on Sunday for the first message, Nothing Greater Than Jesus.
Grace & Peace,
Pastor David
Hello CMF,
In the following video blog, I talk about a few things that have recently come into perspective for me regarding Anabaptism and the missional church. Thanks for watching!
If you missed my blog post Challenges for Anabaptists in a Post-Christian Culture earlier this year, you can watch a video of pastor Greg Boyd deliver his challenging message there.
You can also listen or download the mp3 below.
See you this Sunday as we conclude the Missio Dei series!
Blessings,
Pastor David
Hello CMF,
Who are "persons of peace" in the world and within the church? Listen as I explain.
Who are the persons of peace in your life? Are you being a person of peace? Do you receive others as Christ did? Ask the Lord to help you honestly answer those questions.
See you Sunday!
Pastor David
Hello CMF,
In the following video I extend an invitation and give a heads up for this Sunday.
Interested in being a part of a LTG? Are you regularly involved in a small group? Please consider how God may be speaking to you about deepening discipleship with Jesus.
Blessings,
Pastor David
