Romans 8:28Guest Pastor, H.B. Charles Jr.Sunday, June 7, 2026
Every great love story relies on a thrilling conclusion, but the story of Ruth and Boaz gives us something much greater than a Hollywood ending—it reveals a cosmic promise. In this final installment of our four-part series, Pastor Derek Holmes walks us through the triumphant conclusion of Ruth chapter 4. Against all odds, and through the quiet, sovereign providence of God, Boaz and Ruth overcome every legal and cultural obstacle standing in their way to finally be united in marriage. But the story doesn't end at the wedding altar. God blesses them with a son named Obed, setting off a divine chain reaction. Obed would become the grandfather of King David, placing this remarkable couple directly into the earthly lineage of Jesus Christ. Join us as we discover how Boaz’s fierce, protective love for Ruth isn't just ancient history—it is a vivid mirror showing us just how relentless, complete, and life-altering Christ’s redeeming love is for each of us today. No matter how broken your beginning looks, God is crafting a happily ever after for us all.

Ruth 1:1-18 // Nathan MillerIn this sermon, we walk through the first eighteen verses of Ruth, analyzing the move from Bethlehem to Moab and the subsequent return. We discuss the cultural weight of widowhood in the ancient world and the contrast between Orpah's logical departure and Ruth's sacrificial devotion. Ruth's confession of faith serves as the heart of this study, as she forsakes her past to follow Naomi and trust in the God of Israel. We see how even in the midst of bitterness and empty hands, God is quietly preparing a way for redemption that will eventually reach far beyond these two women to the rest of the world.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/49601033 PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2542/responses/new26.05.03

Host: Dan Panetti Tricia and I went and saw the movie A Great Awakening - and it was incredible. The movie highlighted the fascinating friendship of George Whitefield and Benjamin Franklin and there were many outstanding history and life lessons. One of the things that the movie examined was the powerful and important letter/speech that Ben Franklin gave at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 about how “God governs in the affairs of men.” I hope that you'll not only see the movie, but also pause to reflect on the lessons presented - especially the idea that God governs in the affairs of men - that God is Providential. My daughter is actually reading a truly wonderful book titled Providence written by John Piper - highly recommend you get a copy for yourself and read it! Finally, let's take the passion of George Whitefield to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with any and everybody as a reminder to do so in our lives as well!

What does it mean when Christians speak about the providence of God? In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins explains the biblical doctrine of the providence of God and why it brings comfort, stability, and confidence to the Christian life. Drawing from passages such as Hebrews 1:3, Psalm 115:3, Acts 17:28, Ephesians 1:11, and Romans 8:28, this message shows how God preserves, governs, and directs all things according to His wise and sovereign will. Christians are not living in a random or chaotic world. The God of Scripture rules over every detail of life. Understanding the providence of God helps believers trust the Lord in seasons of suffering, rest in His wisdom, and live faithfully knowing that nothing in their lives is outside of His care.

Genesis 37-50 // Jonathan NeefThis sermon explores the life of Joseph, spanning from his colorful coat in Canaan to his seat of power in Egypt. We follow the narrative of Genesis 37-50, examining how Joseph was betrayed by his brothers, sold into slavery, and falsely imprisoned. Despite these hardships, the story reveals how God's hidden hand was at work, positioning Joseph to save entire nations from famine. We focus on the climax of the story—the emotional reunion and reconciliation of the family—and the profound truth that what man intends for evil, God intends for good.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/49562826 PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2542/responses/new26.02.15

Providence refers to God's invisible hand and provision leading, guiding, and directing people and events to manage all things according to His will.Jacob had to escape where he grew up because he sinned against God, his father, mother, and brother in order to obtain a blessing by deceit. Jacob is thus forced to flee his home to escape the consequences of his sin. On his way to exile, God makes a promise to Jacob at Bethel (Genesis 28:13-15) that Jacob will return home. Decades later, in Genesis 31:3, God commands Jacob to return. In between promise and command, God was providentially directing Jacob the whole time.What happens "in between" is what Dr. Sadaphal will talk about in this episode.New episodes of WCSK the first Wednesday of the month.
