Colonial Point Christian Church

In these next chapters of Revelation, we read about God’s judgment and wrath over a rebellious earth. It’s awful, and scary, and frightening to envision what’s to come for those who refuse to follow Jesus. But what we can take away from these scriptures is that our God is in control. There is nothing hap hazard or chaotic about the series of events unfolding. God is over it all and He still loves us.

In today’s scriptures we receive amazing imagery of God’s throne room and all the elders, angles, creatures, and saints who give him praise and worship. He is worthy or it! The question to ask ourselves is, do we give God that much worth and value? Or are we giving something or someone else more value? Join us today as we talk about honoring, glorifying, praising and worshiping our sovereign God.

Guest speaker Brian Zitt and his son Jordan joins us once again sharing their testimony since their last visit of the wonders God is doing and God’s continued grace for those suffering from addictions.

Today we read through the seven letters to the seven churches that were shown to John. We see common themes in each letter including Christ announcing himself as sovereign, Christ encouraging the church to continue on in good deeds, Christ rebuking each church for the sin they have allowed in, and Christ proclaiming the blessing to those who overcome the sin of the world.

CPCC starts a new series on the book of Revelation. For many, Revelation is a scary story filled with beasts, war, and death. But the truth that was told to John and shared with us is hope and triumph! Our Savior is coming back for us! As we start at the beginning of Revelation we learn that the revelation given to John is the Word of God given by Jesus Christ and all those who read it aloud and hear it’s message will be blessed. What glorious news from our Creator!

In Paul’s letters to the early churches, he instructs them to “put to death” sinful behaviors. We all allow sin to settle into our lives, we get comfortable with it, or complacent because we can’t overcome it. Be Paul is telling us we need to go after it and put it to death!

We’re called to do good deeds, but how are we equipped to do those good works? Paul writes to his apprentice Timothy that we have scripture from God to be used in all occasions. Scripture is God’s revelation to us of Himself. How amazing is that! And we can draw from it everything we need to honor God and live a life of purpose.

Our God has bestowed great favor on us simply by showing us mercy. In other words, He didn’t give us what we deserve, and that’s death. Paul writes about how we can transform our minds and become more like Christ, which should be our response to God. How do you transform your mind to be more like Christ? Listen…

Our God encourages us to ask Him for anything because He wants to be in relationship with us. He wants us to approach Him. Of course we know that we don’t get everything we ask for because if we did, then that would turn God into a puppet and we’d be God. Since we weren’t meant to be God, maybe we should be examining our motives instead? In the Gospel of Matthew Jesus teaches us what to do after we ask.

2000 years ago, people worried about different things like food, shelter, clothing, and safety. We have come so far as a people, but we still worry about plenty of things, don’t we? We have to remember that our enemy wants us to worry, and then doubt that God is able or trustworthy. But our bible reminds us that the Creator will provide for us everything we need, if we just seek His Kingdom first. Join us as we dive deeper into that truth.

Our enemy is constantly trying to destroy our image of God. And our culture does the same thing by telling us we’re too short, to tall, to thin, to this or that! It insinuates that God made a mistake when He made you doesn’t it? But that’s not the truth! We are freafully and wonderfully made; created by His hand; set apart! And we need to live like we are different, purposeful, and special. Listen to hear more about how beautifully made you are…

If it’s been your desire to evangelize but have struggled to find a simple way to share key verses in the bible that spell out why we need Jesus and what God has offered us, then today you can learn how the book “Romans” can help you convey the simple truths of God’s plan for us.

As Colonial Point celebrates the resurrection of Jesus we return to a simple scripture and teaching. God loves you. And because He loves you He sent Jesus to reconcile you to God, because you can’t do it on your own. And if you accept Jesus as God’s son and sacrifice for your sin, you will have everlasting life.

In the last part of these series we look at Paul’s final instructions in his first letter to the Thessalonians. Paul urges them and us to live in peace, encourage others, help the weak, rejoice and pray always.

The Thessalonians were struggling with death. They thought the others who had gone before them achieved something they didn’t or couldn’t. And, they were listening to a lot of false teaching. So Paul’s helps them understand the eternal life Jesus gave us.

If you are comfortable in your faith, then ask yourself if you are living to please God or yourself. It’s not always easy to carry out God’s will, but obedience reaps a harvest of blessings.

We all suffer. And Satan would like us to thing that God is a punisher and not good. Today Sean Harvey shares how we can carry each other’s burdens through the hard times.

The Gospel changes and transforms lives. Paul recognized this on his missionary journey and writes about what he witnessed at the church in Thessalonica. He saw that they were filled with hope, love and faith and encouraged them to spread the Gospel by treating others well, living a worthy life, living with right motives, and being bold for the Lord Jesus.

What does a model believer do? We gain inspiration from Paul in his letter to the church at Thessalonica. In it, he writes what a joy to him they are and thanks them for their faith, hope, and love. That’s a church worth imitating! That’s a church we can model ourselves after. Model Godly behavior by following Godly examples!

Did you ever pray for something and not get an answer? What did you do when that happened? In today’s bible verse we learn the story of a women who is not an Israelite who comes to Jesus begging to have her sins forgiven so that her daughter can be healed by Him. At first, Jesus ignores her plea! Then he tells her that He did not come for her nation! Then He tells her that it’s not right that she receive favor! What!!! I don’t know about you, but I think I might have taken the hint, got discouraged and given up. But you need to see what happens next…join us to find out!
