Centralia Community Church

Sin and temptation are realities of our broken world. God gives us the gift of forgiveness and the opportunity to be made right with Him through Jesus. When Jesus is faced with temptations of appetite, approval, and ambition He responds with scripture, empowered by the Spirit, and trusting God's provision. A Jesus-shaped church follows Jesus' example in the wilderness and holds tightly to our Deliverer.Message by Devin Burton, "Trusting our Deliverer" as part of our "Fully Surrendered" series. Message from February 22, 2026. Centralia Community Church, Centralia, WA. cccog.comLent is not just a season of tradition, but an encounter with Jesus that shapes the life of the Church. Through prayer, fasting, and repentance, we strip away excess, face temptation, and learn to trust God more deeply as Jesus leads us toward Easter hope. A Jesus-shaped church follows Him in humility and obedience, trusting God in both trial and triumph, and bearing witness to the power of resurrection, Fully Surrendered.

God once again reveals Jesus' identity as his son and annoints him for mission like he did at his baptism. This one phrase, repeated, confirms Jesus as the fulfillment of the prophecies in the Old Testament and points the disciples to the truth of the new covenant: God once again dwells with us. The transfiguration isn't for the mountaintop alone- it informs our identity and calling as followers of Jesus and sends us back into the world with the foundation of a Jesus-shaped church: God with us.

Have we defined righteous as religious? The righteousness of Jesus stands in contrast to the religion of the day. Where we have conflated what it is to be righteous with being “right” in the empire He offers us something different- an upside-down kingdom. What is revealed in Jesus invites us to reshape how we see blessing and calls us to act justly, walk humbly and love mercy- a calling we can respond to because of God with us.cccog.com/beyond-sunday

The word “love” is one of the sloppiest words in our language, as it primarily refers to a feeling that happens to a person. But in the New Testament, “love,” or “agape,” refers to a way of treating people that was defined by Jesus himself. It means to seek the well-being of others regardless of their response. The Messiah's coming is ultimately an act of love—God with us, God for us- regardless of how we receive Him.The hymn envisions unity, redemption, and divine mercy. Love is not abstract here; it's incarnate in the coming of Christ. We live now in the reality of His love and long for the day when that love will fully reign—when all creation is reconciled in Christ.We can rejoice, not because all is fulfilled yet, but because fulfillment is coming. This dynamic tension of the now and not yet is the essence of Advent… and the reality of being a Jesus-shaped church. Will we embrace the love being offered this Christmas season?

Message from December 21, 2025. Centralia Community Church, Centralia, WA. cccog.com“O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” is more than a beautiful, ancient hymn - it is a prayer echoing the heartbeat of Advent, the season of holy anticipation. Rooted in Scripture and sung with deep longing, the hymn speaks to the “now and not yet” reality of God's promises: that Christ has come, and Christ will come again. Each verse names a title of the promised Messiah, and each refrain calls us to rejoice - not because all is fulfilled yet, but because fulfillment is coming. It's the song of those who live in between; between the manger and the second coming, between promise made and promise fulfilled. This dynamic tension is the essence of Advent.

God's people are called to a unique type of joy. It's more than a happy mood. It's a choice to trust that God will fulfill his promises, and it's a joy that is long-lasting and life-giving.Every verse of the hymn ends with a command to rejoice—even in exile, even in waiting. This is the paradox of Advent joy: we rejoice not because everything is right, but because the One who will make it right is both on His way and here now. This joy is deeper than happiness—it's the defiant joy of faith that knows the story isn't over.We can rejoice, not because all is fulfilled yet, but because fulfillment is coming.

Peace is a very common word in English, and it means different things to different people. It's also a very important word in the Bible that refers not only to the absence of conflict but also to the presence of something else. The hymn longs for peace—shalom—the restoration of all things. In a world full of darkness, conflict, and sorrow, the prayer is that Christ, the Prince of Peace, would come and break through the gloom. Though we still wait for the full realization of peace, we experience glimpses of it now through Christ's presence, the peace that “passes all understanding.”We can rejoice, not because all is fulfilled yet, but because fulfillment is coming.

The Church is not God's mission- God's mission has a church. As followers of Jesus, we begin by dwelling with Him so He can fill us. In receiving His presence, we are like living stones, holy and unified, being built up into a spiritual house. Together, we are to be saturated with God's Spirit, bringing His presence and love into the places we go, filling the world with His glory. As God reconciles the world He has called His church to be a small working model of this new creation- a Jesus-shaped church.cccog.com/beyond-sunday

Life is a journey, we're choosing to follow Jesus. We're stripping away the excess- allowing God to speak identity and fullness of life into us. We're preparing our hearts, minds, bodies and spirits- trusting God to fill, restore and renew us. We're walking with Jesus- creating habits, rhythms, and structures to help form us to be more like Him. Join us on the journey.

Biblical hope is not optimism. In fact, the most hopeful people in the Bible often had very few reasons to believe that things would get better for them any time soon. But biblical hope is based not in circumstances but in the unchanging character of God.It's this kind of hope that anchors the entire hymn. Israel waits in exile, just as we often wait in our own wildernesses. The “not yet” is real—things are still broken—but the promise is just as real: “Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.” The refrain calls us to rejoice not in what we see, but in what is promised. Our hope is not wishful thinking—it's rooted in the faithfulness of God who came once in Bethlehem and will come again in glory.We can rejoice, not because all is fulfilled yet, but because fulfillment is coming.
