April 30, 2023 1 Corinthians 11:17-34 For nearly two thousand years followers of Jesus have gathered in churches to eat a meal called Communion or the Lord's Supper in his memory. Each week at CHCC we take communion and often if we are not careful, we take communion for granted, it can become so routine, we just take it without ever thinking about it. For others, they may take communion but they are not sure why. In this series entitled “Table Talk,” we will take an in-depth look at communion. We will be looking at the meal, the guest list, the ambiance, and the conversation around communion. Next Steps: • Examine if you have been living in a way that contradicts the love of Jesus and the hope we should have. Commit to changing. • Meditate on 1 Corinthians 15:54-57 this week.

December 25, 2022 Luke 2:8-14 While plots of popular Christmas movies run the gamut from inhuman greedy creatures learning about generosity from fellow townspeople, to one of Santa's elves traveling New York City to find his real father, and everything in between, there's just something about Christmas movies—even ones that don't explicitly touch the birth of Christ—that makes us feel good. These movies bring us back to the joy and hope we all long for. In this series, entitled Christmas At The Movies, we will dig into the Word of God using classic Christmas movies as visual representations of biblical principles. The stories, relationships, and tensions that unfold in each movie reflect what we all experience in our own lives and remind us of the hope of this season. Next Steps: • Identify a fear you need to lay down, and trust Jesus with it. • Meditate on Luke 2:10 this week: “The angel reassured them. “Don't be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people.” Castle Hills Christian Church 6209 West Ave San Antonio, Texas 78213 info@chccsa.com chccsa.com chccsa.info

November 27, 2022 Acts 2:42-47 Something incredible happens when giving becomes our desire and not just a duty or obligation. As you make giving a lifestyle, you'll realize you're not only loving life more, but you're also creating a more generous world, a better world for all of us. In this series called The Generous Life, based on Brad Formsma's book called "I Like Giving: The Transforming Power of a Generous Life," we're going to talk about being aware of opportunities to be generous, and then taking action when these opportunities occur, realizing that our generosity can make an eternal impact. As Christians we are stewards of what God has given to us, and we must look for opportunities to bless others. Next Steps: • Spend time with God reflecting on His generosity towards you. • Make a list of some generous things you can do and try them out.
