Our mission is to transform from individual believers into an authentic community of Christ followers through Biblical discipleship.
Pastors Max and Trish of Core Community Covenant Church
From the small beginnings God can change the world.
1 There is an enemy, the devil2 There are imitators 3 There will be judgment
Jesus gives us a glimpse of what a Kingdom of God is like in Matthew 13. Before we can get into understanding the parables, we need to prepare ourselves for the word from God, the good seed.
Healthy fear of the Lord helps protect us through obedience and leads us toward holiness. We can approach the Lord with confidence only because of His grace.
In part one of this teaching, we look closer on how fear of the Lord is needed in our spiritual life. As the Holy Spirit guides us toward the fear of the Lord, it leads us to the worship God deserves from us.
Pastor Christina teaches us on 3 to important points of the power of resurrection. His resurrection fulfilled prophesy about the Messiah Our justification depends on itDeath is defeated and we will forever live in Him
Join our church family as we share the Passover meal. Learn how it tells the story of God's plan for our redemption through His Son, Jesus Christ.
Holy Spirit power helps us proclaim the kingdom of God, to be born again and be transformed into a life showing fruit of the Spirit.
The Holy Spirit comforts, guides, warns, and convicts as our divine Counselor.
As we continue to explore the various attributes of the Holy Spirit, we compare our human knowledge with the revelation that comes from God alone.
I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.Ephesians 1:17
Building off of Isaiah 11:2 and symbols throughout Scripture, this new series highlights the person and ministry of the Holy Spirit. In this first teaching, the Word attests to His divinity and sevenfold nature (as seen in Revelation). Then we start with His first attribute, specifically as “the Spirit of the Father.”
Pastor Christina shares a timely word on trusting God when we are going through spiritual “winter” season.
The vine nourishes, supports and holds the branches together. We just need to remain through the Word, Love and Obedience.
Jesus is the perfect fulfillment of the Law, revealing the Way to, the Truth about, and Life with the Father. Rather than rules and rituals, He invites us to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit as the only true path home.
Without resurrection we have no faith
The only way we can be good leaders if we follow Jesus who is the only Good Shepherd.
We let the Bible tell us the story of the birth of Christ through the prophets of the Old Testament. We also take time to reflect on the Word with beautiful Christmas songs. Enjoy. We do not own the rights to the music or songs.
How do we identify toxic church leadership? In John 10, Jesus states that He is the Gate and the Good Shepherd. In this teaching, we discuss bad shepherds: the thieves and robbers who skip over the gate and harm the sheep.
This sermon wrestles with a hard teaching of Jesus as the living bread: sent by God from heaven and providing eternal life by offering up his own flesh and blood.
Join us as sister Cynthia teaches on the discipline of prayer.
The final attribute in the series points to God's justice. If He didn't judge rightly, all of His other attributes would be undermined.
Before we can know the great attribute of Gods forgiveness. We must understand what we are seeking to be forgiven for.
Pastor Trish had an amazing opportunity to bring a word at Renew Church Women's Conference: Dream Again.She reminded the women of how powerful they are and all the women in the Bible that changed the world for God. So they must speak up.She also taught on the time when we need to shut up and be powerful for God. At that point we let God put us in:1 Posture of Prayer2 Position of Power3 Prepare for the Prophetic
This sermon covers the fifth attribute of God found in Exodus 34:6-7: faithfulness. In Hebrew, emet means truth, trustworthy and faithful. God is faithful even when we are not! We should always respond by trusting Him and His word.
Nothing will ever separate us from the Love of God. Romans 8:38-39
In this next teaching on the attributes of God from Exodus 34:6-7, we discuss some aspects on how God experiences and expresses anger.
In this episode, as Pastor Max teaches on Psalm 23, he summarizes how God helps us become holistically healthy. We looked at four important aspects: relational, physical, mental and spiritual health. When we surrender to the Good Shepherd's leading, we will be blessed with overflowing life.
God gives us favor and grace before we even realize how much we need it. Not because we deserve it, but because He desires the best for us.
From Exodus 34:6-7, we look at the first of 7 attributes of God, compassion. God shows compassion as sees us, hears us, and acts on our behalf. In response, we should be transformed into people who do the same for others.
One of our members, Oksanna, shares some reflections on miracles and a vulnerable testimony of her lifelong miracle. Warning: some content might be unsettling to certain audiences.
The last letter to the churches in Revelation brings some strong warnings, but there is still hope! Beware of apathy, pride, and spiritual ignorance, instead seek the Lord for growth, humility, and insight.
The letter to the church at Philadelphia reminds us to patiently persevere, stay true to God's word and not lose faith even when we feel weak.
From the letter to Sardis we are warned against preoccupation with image but to focus on transformation from the inside out. The regenerative power of the Holy Spirit brings the fruit of a true believer.
The letter to the church of Thyatira reminds us to hold fast to the Word of God, to test so called “prophets,” and to resist any influences that blend Christian practice with other spiritual “truths”.
Pastor Max had the opportunity to speak at a memorial service for a great pastor friend who passed away last year. Pastor Dave as passionate for God and His people. His life verse was Jeremiah 29:11. This is a short message that Pastor Max shared with Pastor Dave's congregation. We pray it will be a blessing to you all.
The letter to Church of Pergamum in Revelation 2 warns us of the dangers of compromise and conforming to the world.
We learn from the early Church of Smyrna how to face our afflictions and the need to stand firm in the face of trials like poverty, slander, suffering, and demonic attacks.
We can learn from the early church what we should and should not do. The letter to Ephesus in Revelation 2 reminds us to resist false teaching and idolatry but not to fall into legalism or salvation by works. Remember your first love!
Praise God to find favor in order that He can save others so they too can praise Him. This is how the Church will spread to become all we were meant to be.
Becoming the Church requires us to persevere together (not in isolation) through times of suffering as well as success. Like the early church, we should do so with sincerity and joy.
Becoming the Church as God intended means we work toward unity in mind and heart, sharing resources and caring for one another out of our overflow.
In order to truly become the Church, we need to reclaim a posture of holy fear, respect and reverence for the awesome power of our God.
In the example of the early Church, we should devote ourselves to the apostles' teaching, fellowship, breaking bread and prayer. Not as passive observers or in isolation, but as an intentional community.
Our final sermon in this series, we look at Jesus command to wait on the Holy Spirit for power, direction, and His return. In a world where waiting is a lost skill, we are called to be still and eagerly expect His return.
In the same way Jesus was sent to the world by the Father, He sends us out as ministers of reconciliation. By the power of the Holy Spirit, we are called to forgive.
To preach is to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. To witness or to testify is to share how the Gospel of Jesus Christ has impacted your life. There is power in our testimony. In this episode we discuss what testimony is, does, costs and the power in it.
