Judges 16:23-31 // Manny CheryIn this sermon, we look at the final moments of Samson’s life within the temple of Dagon. We discuss the irony of the Philistines celebrating a victory they credited to a false god, while the true source of Samson’s power prepared for one final display of justice. We analyze the layout of the temple, the significance of the two central pillars, and Samson’s prayer for strength. Through this study, we see how God can use even a flawed and fallen leader to bring about his will, showing that his power is made perfect in weakness and that he remains faithful to his word even when his servants have stumbled.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/49594464 PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2553/responses/new26.04.19

Josh 2 // Gabe Coyle In this sermon, we walk through the narrative of Joshua 2, where two spies are sent to scout out the city of Jericho. Rather than finding a typical military stronghold, they find an ally in Rahab, a woman whose recognition of the power of the God of Israel leads her to risk everything. We break down the significance of the crimson cord, the oath of protection, and the report the spies brought back to Joshua. This study highlights how God works through ordinary people and complex situations to fulfill his promises, proving that his plan is moving forward even when the obstacles seem insurmountable.

Deuteronomy 6:1-9 // Gabe Coyle This sermon focuses on the core of the ancient faith known as the Shema. Found in Deuteronomy 6:1-9, these verses serve as a vital command for the people of Israel to love God with every fiber of their being. We look at the call to pass this faith down to the next generation and how to weave his truth into the everyday rhythms of life, from the moment we wake up until we lie down.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2553/responses/new 26.03.22

Numbers 13-14 // Jacob NannieIn this teaching on Numbers 13-14, we analyze the mission of the twelve spies and the two very different reports they brought back. While ten spies focused on the strength of the walled cities and the size of the inhabitants, Joshua and Caleb looked at the power of the one who promised them victory. The sermon examines the consequences of the people's rebellion—their desire to return to Egypt and the subsequent judgment that led to forty years of wandering. We discuss how fear can blind us to his provision and how trust in his word is the only way to move forward into the "land flowing with milk and honey."

Leviticus 16 // Jacob Nannie In this teaching on Leviticus 16, we examine the detailed instructions given to Aaron regarding the Day of Atonement. The sermon explains the gravity of entering behind the veil and the necessity of the sin offering and the burnt offering. A central focus is placed on the two goats: one sacrificed to satisfy justice and the "scapegoat" sent into the wilderness to carry away the guilt of the camp. We discuss how these rituals illustrate his mercy and the lengths he goes to so that his presence can remain among his people. This sermon helps us understand the weight of sin and the beauty of being made clean in his sight.

Exodus 20 // Rachel Nesse In this teaching on Exodus 20, we look at the heart of the biblical law and the significance of the Ten Commandments. The sermon breaks down the two sections of the tablets: the first focusing on our devotion to God—prohibiting idols and honoring his name—and the second focusing on our conduct toward our neighbors. We discuss the awe-inspiring atmosphere of the mountain, the thunder and lightning that accompanied his voice, and the role of Moses as a mediator. This sermon invites us to see these commandments as a reflection of his holy character and a roadmap for a life of justice and peace.

Genesis 37-50  // Jacob Nannie This sermon explores the life of Joseph, spanning from his colorful coat in Canaan to his seat of power in Egypt. We follow the narrative of Genesis 37-50, examining how Joseph was betrayed by his brothers, sold into slavery, and falsely imprisoned. Despite these hardships, the story reveals how God’s hidden hand was at work, positioning Joseph to save entire nations from famine. We focus on the climax of the story—the emotional reunion and reconciliation of the family—and the profound truth that what man intends for evil, God intends for good.

Genesis 21-28 // Manny Chery This sermon covers the critical transition in the patriarchal narrative from Genesis 21 through 28. We witness the birth of Isaac, the fulfillment of God’s long-standing promise, and the difficult testing of Abraham’s faith on Mount Moriah. As the story shifts to the next generation, we see the search for Rebekah, the birth of the twins Jacob and Esau, and the dramatic conflict over the birthright and the blessing. This study emphasizes that God’s plan continues through imperfect families and that His sovereign choice remains the driving force behind the history of redemption.

Genesis 17 // Jacob Nannie This sermon explores the profound developments in Genesis 17, where God appears to a ninety-nine-year-old Abram to reaffirm his promises. We examine the introduction of God as El Shaddai (God Almighty), the significant name changes for both Abraham and Sarah, and the institution of circumcision as a permanent physical sign of the covenant. The message focuses on the necessity of walking blamelessly before God and the assurance that nothing is too difficult for the Lord, even when human circumstances seem impossible.

Genesis 11 // Nathan MillerThis sermon covers the building of the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11, a pivotal moment where human pride collided with divine authority. We examine the transition from a world with one language to the sudden diversity of tongues, exploring why God viewed this unified human project as a threat. By looking at the heart of the builders, we learn about the dangers of seeking to make a name for ourselves rather than honoring the name of God, and how this event explains the origin of different nations and cultures.

Genesis 6-9 // Jacob Nannie This sermon covers the momentous narrative of the Great Flood found in Genesis 6-9. We examine the grieving heart of God in the face of widespread human wickedness, the faithfulness of Noah in a corrupt generation, and the massive scale of divine judgment. Beyond the storm, we focus on the emergence of the remnant from the ark and the establishment of the Noahic Covenant, marked by the rainbow as a sign of God’s mercy and his commitment to never again destroy the earth by water.

Genesis 3 // Jacob Nannie This sermon focuses on the pivotal events of Genesis 3, commonly known as "The Fall."

By studying the dialogue between the serpent and Eve, we gain insight into how faith is challenged and how God responds to human failure with both justice and a profound promise of future hope.
