Christ Fellowship

Imagine knowing that you only have a matter of hours left with your closest loved ones before everything in life is about to change. What would you want to make sure they know? What emotions would be pulsing through your heart? In John 13-16, we see some of the most intimate moments Jesus ever experienced with his disciples. On the same night as Judas’ betrayal, they enjoy their final meal together in the upper room of a Jerusalem home. With a heavy heart, he imparts final words of wisdom and encouragement. The scene is tender, reassuring, and challenging. Even as his disciples fail to fully grasp the spiritual weight of the next 72 hours, Jesus goes out of his way to express his love for them, his confidence in them, and the promise of victory on the other side of the cross. This special scene offers a crystal-clear view into the burdens and love Jesus carries for his followers. It demonstrates strength under control, genuine humility, and sacrificial love beyond imagination. Join us as we come to Jesus’ table with fresh eyes where we will find strength, encouragement, and hope in his intimate, heartfelt words.

Read your Bible. Go to church. Pray before your meals. Be nice to others. In churches, we’re bombarded with spiritual rules and slogans, but how do we truly engage with God on a regular basis? How can we actually read the Bible, understand it, and apply it to our lives? What does it mean to be in relationship with him? And how does Christian community practically play out on a daily basis? As we bid farewell to 2017 and look towards the new year, this is your chance to restart – to experience God deeply, engage in authentic community, and impact others. Join us for Restart: Four Spiritual Practices, a practical look at the four key practices that will transform your relationship with Jesus and others.

Christmas is supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year, but it's often not. Rates of depression, suicide, and substance abuse climb in December, all while we're being bombarded by cheery Christmas music in stores and commercials. The chaos, impossible expectations, and stress of the Christmas season are overwhelming. But chaotic as it may be, the reality of Christmas is remarkably simple - the invasion of Heaven into darkness in the form of a baby. It's the culmination of centuries of waiting as Jesus enters our broken world to rescue us from our sin. Simply Christmas, a special look into the simple message of Jesus' birth through the eyes of those who experienced it firsthand. ys.

Are we hurting or helping when we give aid to those "less fortunate"? Dive in to the topic of social justice with us and see how we are thinking differently about it these days.

This Sunday, we celebrate one of our favorite traditions at Christ Fellowship - the Thanksgiving Share Service. It's a service unlike any other we hold during the year, an opportunity we take to reflect, recognize, and thank God for all he’s doing among us. Throughout the service, members of the Christ Fellowship body share stories of God's work in their lives. Some have come through unthinkable tragedy. Others have seen him provide beyond imagination. We will hear from each other, celebrate, worship, and give thanks to our Father as one body.

In the close to Malachi, God makes it vividly clear that the final day of the Lord will be a time of peace and victory for some, but terror and destruction for others. Ultimately, we all have to ask ourselves the same question - “which will it be for me?” The answer rests on one decision that determines our eternal destiny.

Money. It's a tool with as much potential for evil as good. It's also one of the most difficult topics in the Bible. God makes it clear in Malachi that his desire is to massively bless his people. But could our attitudes and behaviors towards money keep us from experiencing it?

Have you ever watched evil people get ahead in life and wonder, "where is God in this?" The dishonest coworker gets the promotion. The jerk keeps winning. The corrupt politician escapes jail time. If God is just, why would he allow these things to happen? The Israelites in Malachi's day were asking these same questions while exiled in captivity. They're supposed to be God's people, so how could he tolerate so much evil done against them? In Malachi 3, God promises a time when they'll be made new again, when those who do blatant evil against others finally face judgement. His words serve both as an encouragement and a challenge to those who underestimate their own offenses against God.

Through day-to-day life, marriage is constantly highlighting and rubbing against our rough edges as we enter into deeper covenant with our spouses. Through its ups and downs, it becomes a living picture of the gospel - two people living in an unbreakable covenant with one another. In Malachi, God addresses the breakdown of marriage among the Israelites of that day, namely in their infidelity. He reminds the men, “do not be unfaithful to the wife of your youth.” In speaking of divorce, he even writes that the man who leaves his wife “does violence to the one he should protect.”

Imagine a huge, cosmic press conference. At the center podium stands the Creator of the Universe. What would God say about the state of humanity? What questions would people shout out from the crowd? This is exactly the kind of dialogue that Malachi allows us to witness as God speaks directly to the nation of Israel. While the conversation took place over 2,400 years ago, the issues God addresses are as relevant today as they were then. In this final book of the Old Testament, God’s people are doubting his love, questioning his goodness, and making excuses for their failures. But God always gets the last word and while he does challenge and indict them, it’s ultimately a message of loving reassurance.

Biblical community is more than just a few people hanging out, reading some Bible verses, and praying for a few minutes. It's diverse, challenging, and Christ-centered. As you'd expect, it's not always comfortable either. But it's exactly what God calls us to embrace.

Essential keys for following Christ The book of Ephesians answers questions that are vital to everyone who has committed their life to Jesus Christ: what does God expect from me, and how can I live this new life in Christ? While giving our allegiance to Jesus is essential, the greater part of our lives is spent learning to follow Jesus ever more closely. Ephesians 6 reveals how who we are in Christ must reshape our most vital relationships to match our relationship to Christ instead of conforming to a lost culture. To live by design requires a new design principle — new goals to aim for! Our model and example is Jesus Christ, who teaches us not only how our relationships must change but also about our need for God’s mighty strength and for prayer. The need to use that strength to block spiritual attacks by the evil one adds urgency to these changes Live by Design completes the design for following Jesus that God wants us to live by.

As believers we must live by design. And sometimes we need to take an honest look at our lives and realize that we need a total-life or partial-life redesign.

What does God expect from me? How do I live my life with Christ? While giving our allegiance to Jesus is essential, the greater part of our lives is spent learning to follow Jesus ever more closely. We need to discover our identity as a Christ follower. Divine Design covers the first three chapters of Ephesians. There Paul draws back the curtain to show how our salvation finds its source in God’s love and mercy expressed through Jesus Christ. The scope of God’s work is both cosmic and personal, and that work shows the vastness of the grace and truth found in Christ. God seeks through Christ to reshape our relationships to him and to each other so that we honor him with every step. In doing so, we live out his Divine Design.

in honor of Moms and all the amazing women who are part of the body of Christ, we are going to look at the lives of 3 women in the book of Acts who contributed to the spread of the gospel and the building of the early church. They are an encouragement to us all.

Think about it: When Jesus rose from the dead, he brought new life to a dying world. Next he dispatched his followers to take this life-giving message to the ends of the earth. Then Jesus ascended into heaven, and sent them the Holy Spirit to empower them! The Spirit filled Jesus’ followers with supernatural boldness and wisdom. He gave birth to the church, igniting Jesus’ revolution, creating a spiritual revival in Jerusalem that spread like wildfire to other towns and peoples, and other generations. And it continues today. Even now, in 2017, Jesus’ followers have the Spirit in us, empowering us and giving us boldness to continue Jesus’ revolution. As we pray together and share the message, spiritual revival erupts and spreads, changing hearts and lives. Do you want to be part of something big?

There’s something satisfying about helping someone find their way, whether they’re out-of-towners, new to the area or just directionally challenged. But as Christians, our wayfinding efforts can take on a deeper, richer and more gratifying meaning. There is no greater joy on this earth than to see people, who were once lost and separated from God, find Christ and receive the gift of eternal life.

Ruth is a foreigner and an outcast. Boaz is a Jewish nobleman. Their love story in the Book of Ruth takes the reader from tragedy to triumph, and from ruin to restoration. But Ruth is not just about a man and a woman of long ago. Ruth is our story! It’s about redemption, in which the loyal love of God brings beauty from ashes to all of those who respond to Christ, the true redeemer and lover of our souls.
