There is deliberate irony in today's message as we consider the message of peace in the midst of spiritual warfare, especially during this Christmas season. The gospel of peace enables us to wage war against the forces of evil not just effectively, but confidently.

E274: Abs of Steel with Drew Worsham

My hope is that we would wake up to the truth that we have an enemy who is after the very source of our lives, and that this awareness would push us to take serious the fight for righteousness and push us to suit up for war.

E282: Empty Handed with Dr. Ed Newton

E290: Keeping It 300 with Drew Worsham

God desires to use our weakness, our faltering faith, our reluctant obedience and our availability more than He desires to use our strength, our talents, our confidence and our abilities.

38 min

E291: To Fleece or not to Fleece? with Dr. Ed Newton

The aim of a heart that follows God is to come to the place where God's plan or His will becomes our primary pursuit. However, the tension usually lies in understanding what exactly God is asking us to do. Today's message seeks to give clarity in how to TRUST GOD VS. TEST GOD.

26 min

E292: The Checklist with Dr. Ed Newton

THE CHECKLIST has become the gauge of whether or not we hit the target, thus causing us to place THE CHECKLIST into every sector of our lives, but there is one CHECKLIST missing from most of our lives and that is in our relationship with God. Today's message will help us do exactly that!!!

31 min

E293: Why not you? with Dr. Ed Newton

E296: Sleepless and Single with Dr. Ed Newton

Finding rest in the promises of God, and having faith to wait on them to come to pass is the tension of every follower of Jesus. We wait in the wonder of what if, feeling like time is running out, but instead we discover that God has been running ahead of us the entire time. Today's message is a reminder that as we wait, God is working!

37 min

E297: Failure to Launch with Dr. Ed Newton

What if you were to step outside of the spaces that you currently reside and occupy only to discover that you have failed to do what you were called to do, and be what would you were called to be? Would you have the courage to reengage, the courage to redirect, and the courage to reclaim what God wanted to be said about the impact of your life?

E298: Not a Chance with Dr. Ed Newton

To reduce our circumstances both positive and negative to a lucky break, bad luck, bad timing, fortune or fate, fails to take into consideration that the God that we serve is all powerful, all seeing and all knowing. Today's message helps us see that He isn't a distance God, but a detailed God who is working for your good and for His glory.

44 min

E299: Come Home with Dr. Ed Newton

There is prodigal in all of us. The desire to know for ourselves what many have warned us against is the propensity within us all. Many have gone before us, warning us, steering us away from the distant country of regrets and remorse, but the draw is magnetic. Unfortunately, the only aspects that seem to adhere are the unfortunate mishaps and mistakes that label you and shame you. The story of Ruth is one of Return, Reconciliation, and Restoration.

35 min

E300: Dry Ground with Dr. Ed Newton

The redundancy of a phrase like "dry ground" is a statement of the obvious. It is making a comparison of what once was, but now has changed. The beauty of a journey through the Jordan River was to eventually be standing on "dry ground". A "dry ground" moment for us today is the commemoration of Memorial Day. In a day where it seems the coordinates of our country are lost; what's not lost is the breathtaking beauty of freedom afforded by the many who have gone before us and paid the highest price for our democracy. We will never forget!

22 min

E301: Destination Sticker with Dr. Ed Newton

The mission is clear! To be Winsome is to win some to Jesus through "Irresistible Influence". The motivation to live this mission may be lacking at times, but allow the manifestation of a "shared blessing" cause you to live in the wonder of not what is always gained, but what is given. Living "Winsome" is more than a decision, it is a direction, but most of it is a distinction.

E303: Radical Hospitality: Battle for Community with Pastor Scott Kindig

It makes sense that God has called us to love Him. It is intuitively RIGHT that God has called us to care for our families. It is even sensible that God has called us to be the kind of people who gather many friends! In OUR world, it is incredibly challenging that God calls us to LOVE strangers. This brings us to our fourth core value: "Hospitality."

35 min

E304: Whatever with Dr. Ed Newton

There is has a higher calling leading you not to just do what is asked, but to go above and beyond so that God may be glorified, and others would benefit. This is the essence of our third core value: "Hustle"!

34 min

E305: The Greatest with Dr. Ed Newton

C.S. Lewis said it best when he stated: humility is not thinking less of yourself, it is thinking of yourself less. Therefore, in the effort to live a life of irresistible influence as winsome, how does one choose to develop a virtue that is designed to give, not gain?

37 min

E306: MVP (Makes Value Possible) with Dr. Ed Newton

We live in a culture void of honor. Value is often associated with power, prestige, performance, possessions and anything else that is considered popular. Therefore, the Kingdom of Jesus challenges a cultural mindset of what is considered honorable by deeming value to all people, not just a select few.

35 min

E307: Counter Cultural with Dr. Ed Newton

As followers of Jesus there are missional dynamics that we are all to embrace regardless of our vocation. For in every profession, platform, or place of participation, there is a way of thinking and living that is to be embraced by all, and that is to see your place in that space as the mission field. Now, before you panic under the weight of expectation, know this is not something you do, but what God does through YOU.

E308: "IT AIN'T OVER!" Easter Celebration with Dr. Ed Newton

When Jesus says, "IT IS FINISHED", He's saying to you that no matter what your facing or feeling YOU ARE NOT FINISHED. These three words give Hope and Healing, Confidence and Courage not only for today, but also tomorrow! These are words for us all to rally around, rely on, and rest within and in this message I will explain why.

E309: Thirst-Quencher Pt 2—Good Friday with Dr. Ed Newton

There is a thirst within us all that we all long to be forever quenched, causing us at times to search for significance. Settle for something less, stumble in shame, all the while continuing to cause more pain. So, today your "thirst quencher" has a name, but in order to quench your thirst, He had to experience your thirst. With joy today He speaks over your life…"I thirst" so you can boldly say "I'm no longer cursed".

E311: Midnight at Mid-day with Dr. Ed Newton

The moments in your life when you feel as if you haven't done anything wrong, but yet you feel despair, disjointed, and dejection by God is considered a "dark night of the soul". Your life is filled with questions that center around God's lack of presence in a situation or stretch of road that seems like you're on the way to nowhere from somewhere. You may not feel like this now, but most likely there will be a moment, or you know someone going through it; allow these words today to be comfort for you or someone near you.

E312: Heaven, Yes Part 2 with Dr. Ed Newton

This one word "paradise" not only cancels out your past, but also gives courage towards your future. The fear of what happens after death has caused people to live daily in doubt and dismay, but there is a hope found in the promise of Jesus from the cross that not only applied to the thief on the cross, but to you as well.

E315: Unresolved with Dr. Ed Newton

For the next 7 weeks we will listen, learn and lean into the final words of Jesus upon the cross, seeking to understand why He chose these 7 statements, what did they mean in context, and how do they lead us to respond today. The first statement of Jesus centers on the word "forgiveness" teaching us to bring a resolution to what may be unresolved that needs to be reconciled.

E317: The Difference Maker with Dr. Ed Newton

Today, we bring our season of 21 days of prayer and fasting to a culminating moment of completion. We have asked God for blessings and breakthroughs in our life that would not only affect our lives, but the people around us. For our new friends to CBC today, you have been invited to this church not because we want to change you, but because we want you to know the person that changed us. Thank you for saying "Yes" to being here today!

E318: Water Cooler Conversation Part III with Dr. Ed Newton

You are a part of the "bringing in the harvest"! We have been asking God for the harvest and the harvest is here! However, reaping the harvest takes a willingness to enter into it and engage with it. The harvest simply described is people entering into a relationship with Jesus through your testimony. Invest and Invite someone to come with you next weekend February 3rd or 4th

40 min

E319: Water Cooler Conversation-Part II with Dr. Ed Newton

We will at one point in our life find ourselves at empty wells to quench a thirst that only God can satisfy. We can choose behavior modifications to treat our condition, but today, we seek the true way through heart transformation.

28 min

E320: Water Cooler Conversation: Part I with Dr. Ed Newton

As we set our sights to begin our 21-day journey of prayer and fasting, we do so with the intentionality of giving up something good for something better; disrupting our routines, to devote our requests for the miraculous in our lives, this church, our nation, and the world.

E321: To Be Continued... with Dr. Ed Newton

E323: The Mirror of Magnificat with Dr. Ed Newton

The 1st Christmas Carol ever sung was in the home of two cousins, both pregnant because of a miraculous intervention by God. There were no shepherds, no magi with gifts, no angels on high signing in perfect harmony, just a teenage girl asked to do the unthinkable, the unexplainable, risking her own life to bring forth the giver of Life. The Magnificat of Mary, a song of praise, becomes the mirror causing us to ask the question to ourselves, am I moved by the gift of Jesus?

46 min

E324: The Big Reveal with Dr. Ed Newton

The suspense of "Unwrapping Christmas" is found in the possibility of three aspects meeting at the intersection of hope and healing: "It Can't be", becoming "it could be", proving "it will be"!

E325: Non-Negotiable with Dr. Ed Newton

There are certain practices and expressions concerning the Christian faith that are open unto debate and discussion, but the Virgin birth is not one of them.

E327: Tripping on Tryptophan with Dr. Ed Newton

Thankfulness is most accurately described as "think"fulness! To be thankful is to be (think)ful. Therefore, in order to live in a persistent attitude of gratitude, despite our circumstances we must develop an awareness of the power of persistent prayer.

43 min

E328: Never a Boring Testimony with Dr. Ed Newton

Your testimony is the story of your past colliding with your future leading you to make a decision for the present. This decision is to understand that everything you thought brought you gain was loss, and what you thought was a loss in Jesus was the ultimate gain. (Jesus + 0 = Everything)

39 min

E329: Rules of Engagement with Dr. Ed Newton

We as the people of God have been given an opportunity like never before, to engage a world searching for answers. Not that we are the answer, but we know the ONE who is the answer. Therefore, to effectively share our hope with those who need it, it is important to be reminded of the directives of His plan and purpose.

37 min

E330: Humble Pie with Dr. Ed Newton

In the English dictionary the word "honor" comes before the word "humility". However, in the economy of God's kingdom what seems logical is not always lasting. Therefore, if you seek honor, then choose humility, but know that when you choose humility, it will lead you to not seek honor, but bestow it.

37 min

E331: Life-Verse with Dr. Ed Newton

There is battle cry within all of us that goes unheard, unsaid, and unannounced at times. However, this battle cry serves as the motivation, the cadence in our soul that keeps us focused, fixed, and faced in the right direction seeking to live a life of significance! The question is what is it that motivation? "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain" (ESV) "Alive, I'm Christ's messenger; dead, I'm his bounty. Life versus even more life! I can't lose" (The Message) "For to me, living means living for Christ, and dying is even better" (NLT) "To me the only important thing about living is Christ, and dying would be profit for me" (New Century Version)

40 min

E332: In it to WIN it with Dr. Ed Newton

God is extending to you an invitation to be a part of something bigger than you, beyond you, all while seeking to bless you. This invitation is simply "WE can do more together than apart." Being "in it" is choosing to define what we are willing to fight for, and today's message challenges us to "FIGHT FOR UNITY".

45 min

E333: Soul Stretch with Dr. Ed Newton

The Christian life is best summarized as a road trip, where the destination is known, but the details of getting to that destination are unknown. There lies the tension, a destiny known-Heaven, but the details to that destiny unknown-Earth. The purpose of this message is to understand that this is not a problem to solve, but a tension to manage. How do we do that?

E334: Enriched in Exile with Dr. Ed Newton

E335: Jumping to Joy with Dr. Ed Newton

If you want to be able to still rejoice when you have lost everything, then you have to possess something greater than what you lost. Therefore, happiness is based upon circumstances, while joy is based upon a concrete reality of something that never changes. What is that reality? JESUS

E336: Critically Crucial with Dr. Ed Newton

The only way in your life that you will never face criticism according to the parody of Aristotle is to: To do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing. This is not an option considering you were called unto a life of purpose. So, how do we deal with the criticism in our head without having a catastrophe in our heart?

45 min

E337: Divinely Engineered with Dr. Ed Newton

You were created to live for all eternity. Your significance is found beyond scientific explanation, material accumulation or human validation. You are His workmanship, created for God's glory and man's good! God's plan for you is not to just embrace WHO you are but WHOSE you are.

44 min

E338: Fully Known with Dr. Ed Newton

There is nothing that the Lord doesn't know about you. There is nothing hidden, everything is in full view, everything accounted for, nothing missing. These words were not intended to haunt you, but help you know that you are "fully known" to God and "fully loved". How can we be guaranteed of this truth?

39 min

E339: Four...Three Letter Words with Dr. Ed Newton

The essence of love is found in the character of God put on full display not only in His demonstration of sacrifice, but in the devotion in which His Love always confronts! The mission of God is to confront us ALL in the space where we think we can live without Him. That space where we feel like we can live without Him is invaded by three simple words… "AND THE LORD"

E340: The Look that Kills with Dr. Ed Newton

E342: Beyond Blue with Dr. Ed Newton

There is a cave of depression that is inevitable for all, where darkness abounds and the walls are so tall. You sit in the shadows of sorrow with no hope for tomorrow. There is a light in the distance drawing near with persistence, bringing comfort in pain. He's familiar with the darkness of the cave, for there once His body was laid, but on the 3rd day He was raised to give you a promise that this giant you face has already been slain.

E344: The Sling and the Stone with Dr. Ed Newton

Everyone loves an underdog story, but what if I were to tell you that the narrative of David versus Goliath is not an underdog story, would you believe it? Today, it is our hope that whatever has set itself as a GIANT in your life will fall and be defeated not because of you trying to be David, but instead being confident in the God of David.

38 min

E345: King of Hearts with Dr. Ed Newton

Value and worth are not quantified nor qualified by an external perspective, but instead the eternal perspective, which is one's HEART. Today, we are once more reminded to never judge a book by its cover, but instead trust in the God that writes His story upon the pages of your heart, making your life a life worth knowing!

E346: Luke 23: 39-43 — Brent Crowe, Ph.D.

We study Jesus' conversation on the cross with the criminal next to Him, which gives us a beautiful example of His grace. "Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, 'If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.' But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, 'Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong.' Then he said to Jesus, 'Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.' And Jesus said to him, 'Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.'" Luke 23: 39-43.

40 min

E347: 3rd Watch with Dr. Ed Newton

The priority of investment begins with a simple framework of understanding the product of Investment, the profit of Interest, the possibility of the Indefinite, and the point of Involvement. Therefore, Jesus through the teaching of a parable concerning property, possessions and percentages, allows us to understand the expectation of His greatest asset of worth, and that is YOU. It's understandable that you may not feel like you are worth investing in, but Jesus thinks otherwise.

46 min

E348: Treasure Principle with Dr. Ed Newton

: Radical Generosity is not a destination, but a direction of living life with a divine intentionality of investment. Therefore, a journey of joyous giving begins with a systematic approach to establishing consistent reproducible habits worth imitating. Proverbs 13:22: "A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children." Leave a legacy not just by leaving behind an inheritance, but a heritage.

41 min

E349: Gaining While Losing with Dr. Ed Newton

The brevity of life in contrast to eternal life challenges the very value system of success and significance that our society has constructed. To pursue the pleasure of riches at the expense of everyone else to only be enjoyed by yourself contradicts the very purpose of your existence. To gain and not give, guarantees that someone will get what you have guarded when you are gone, thus not allowing you to enjoy the gift of giving.

46 min

E350: Pay It Forward with Dr. Ed Newton

The concept of "Paying it Forward" begins with a willingness to make a sacrificial investment without concern for immediate gratification. However, what if I were to tell you that the return on your investment may not yield a return for YOU to actually count, carry or celebrate, but for SOMEONE else; would you still "Pay it Forward"?

49 min

E351: The Enriched Life Part 1 with Dr. Ed Newton

The expression of generosity is more about faith than it is about finances. It is in the spirit of benevolence that the early church made such a profound impact upon a culture saturated in greed. Therefore, to live a life with a loose grip on every earthly possession, because of a heavenly perspective, is to believe that we are not owners of nothing, but instead stewards of everything.

29 min

E352: Heart of Heritage with Dr. Ed Newton

The perception of an individual's significance is usually without the filter of a backstory of the investment of those in the background. Therefore, your legacy as a person of significant influence is not only defined by the tangible qualities you possess, but also the intangible qualities you deposit.

The abundant life of a believer is found in the vineyard between the upper room of the Lord's last supper and the garden of Gethsemane. Learning the "Secret of the Vine" will allow you to live in the power of the Empty Tomb.

42 min

E355: One-Way with Dr. Ed Newton

It is important to note that the exclusivity of Jesus is not based upon a lack of being inclusive, but instead a factual reality of the "law of non-contradiction", which states when two statements are opposed to each other, one must be false. Therefore, Jesus is fully inclusive to all people, through the exclusive reality that with {JESUS plus nothing is everything}.

33 min

E356: Undefeated with Dr. Ed Newton

What has been deemed or decreed as impossible in and around your life can become possible because of one singular supernatural event in history, the resurrection of Jesus! Therefore, today it is our desire that you would discover your comeback story in a tomb that is empty, a Savior who is living and a salvation that has been afforded by grace through Jesus.

E357: Counting Sheep with Dr. Ed Newton

The language of sheep and the shepherd is used by the Apostle John over 30 times in his writings to the early church. The word "sheep" is referenced over 300 times in Scripture, all the while depicting a guiding relationship between God and his people, leading us to know our worth and value.

38 min

E358: Open Door Policy with Dr. Ed Newton

We continue our "I AM" series on the 7 statements of Jesus that declare His deity; we arrive at a two-part message that reveals Jesus as the "Good Shepherd", serving as a fulfillment of Ezekiel 34:11-17. Shepherding imagery in Scripture is always a reflection of role and responsibility in the context of relationship, which is the very invitation that Jesus extends to all through Him being the "OPEN DOOR POLICY".

36 min

E359: Lite Bright with Dr. Ed Newton

No one has ever said "turn on the dark", but instead by turning on the light, darkness has no choice but to submit and vanquish. Today's message is the continuation of our "I AM" series revealing the teachings of Jesus as God through everyday life illustrations revealing His divine attributes for personal application. Be challenged, encouraged and convinced that through Jesus as the Light of the World, you are the light of the world.

31 min

E360: Baker's Dozen with Dr. Ed Newton

The first of the 7 "I AM" statements of Jesus are in alignment with the fourth miracle recorded in John, which is the feeding of the multitude, estimating nearly 5000 people. The only two miracles recorded in all 4-gospel accounts are the resurrection of Jesus and the feeding of the 5000. This occurrence reveals the intentionality of the writer to point out that this memorable miracle is more fulfilling than simply a meal replacement.

48 min

E361: Who I Am! with Dr. Ed Newton

You are the workmanship of God, created for Him to give glory to Him by living through Him. The greatest challenge to a life of higher calling is a failure to understand who the One is doing the calling. Therefore, to live life with meaning, magnitude, and great measure, I must allow my limitations of what "I am not" to be transformed by the "I AM".

E363: A Persistent Prayer with Dr. Ed Newton

The "Lord's prayer" or "model prayer" was given as a guide to move every disciple of Jesus through 6 anchor statements that keep one in a constant attitude of prayer. It is in the rhythm of the Lord's Prayer that hope is held, a cry of help is heard, and a hand of heaven holds.

E364: Don't Forget with Dr. Ed Newton

This verse is considered the doxology of the Lord's Prayer, meaning "doxa" equals honor and "logy" or "logos" means word. Therefore, put the two definitions together and you have "words of honor".
