Psalm 139:23-24

What if the struggles we face, the habits we can’t break, and the emotions that keep surfacing aren’t the real issue—but symptoms of something deeper? In this honest and revealing series, The Thing Beneath the Thing, we’ll peel back the layers of our reactions, wounds, and defenses to uncover the deeper truth of what’s driving us. This series is rooted in the 7 primal questions—the deep, soul-level questions every human heart is asking: Am I safe? Am I secure? Am I loved? Am I wanted? Am I successful? Am I good enough? Do I have purpose? These questions shape how we see ourselves, relate to others, and even how we relate to God. Each week, we’ll explore one of these core questions and invite Jesus to speak to the thing beneath the thing—to bring healing where we’ve been hurt, truth where we’ve believed lies, and freedom where we’ve been stuck. It’s time to stop managing symptoms and let God transform the source.


Next Steps:
Ask yourself this week why you do what you do. Don’t sweep it under the rug; ask God to give you courage to face it.
Find out your primal question.
Pray Psalm 139:23-24 this week:
"Search me, O God, and know my heart;
    test me and know my anxious thoughts.
Point out anything in me that offends you,
    and lead me along the path of everlasting life."

Next Steps:
Meditate on Romans 8:38-39 this week.
"And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Read and discuss 1 John 4 with someone this week.

This series is rooted in the 7 primal questions—the deep, soul-level questions every human heart is asking: Am I safe? Am I secure? Am I loved? Am I wanted? Am I successful? Am I good enough? Do I have purpose? These questions shape how we see ourselves, relate to others, and even how we relate to God. Each week, we’ll explore one of these core questions and invite Jesus to speak to the thing beneath the thing—to bring healing where we’ve been hurt, truth where we’ve believed lies, and freedom where we’ve been stuck. It’s time to stop managing symptoms and let God transform the source.


Next Steps:
Pray Psalm 139:23-24 this week:
"Search me, O God, and know my heart;
    test me and know my anxious thoughts.
Point out anything in me that offends you,
    and lead me along the path of everlasting life."
Identify the root of your fear and turn it over to God this week.
Memorize 2 Timothy 1:7 “For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-control.”

Acts 9:1-19

This year, our church is prioritizing learning from the example of the early church. We aim to adopt the rhythms and practices they embodied, such as prayer, community, and generosity. Join us as we explore the dynamic faith, courageous witness, and profound unity of the early church—and discover how their example can inspire our own journey of faith. This week, we will be focusing on Acts 9:1-19.

Next Steps:
Share with someone the change that Jesus brought in your life.
Think about someone who is new in their faith who you can encourage. Who is God asking you to be an Ananias to?

      <description><![CDATA[Easter Sunday – "Now and Ahead"
April 20, 2025
Acts 2:23–41, 1 Peter 1:3

On that first Easter morning, everything changed—not just for the world, but for individuals like Peter, who had experienced some of the darkest days of his life. In this message, we explore how the resurrection of Jesus redefined Peter’s story and offers the same transformative power to us today.

Through the lens of Acts 2 and 1 Peter 1:3, we’ll see how hope isn’t just a distant dream—it’s a living reality. When everything feels broken, the resurrection reminds us that our best days are not behind us. They’re now and ahead.

Next Steps:
Remember your best days are now and ahead.
Give hope to someone feeling hopeless.
Meditate on 1 Peter 1:3—"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.”

This week, we will be focusing on Acts 2:42-3:26.

Next Steps:
Pick one kingdom habit you would like to develop in your life: engaging the Bible, eating with other Christians, praying together, sharing your resources, or finding a place to serve. Ask someone to join you in this practice.
Look for opportunities to talk about how Jesus has changed your life.

Mark 14:27-56

Countdowns are exciting. Whether it is the days leading up to a birthday or the seconds before the ball drops on New Years Eve, there is a certain sense of anticipation with these moments culminating in something worth celebrating. As Christians, we feel the same excitement when it comes to the resurrection of our Savior. In this series, entitled “Countdown to Calvary,” we will be looking at Christ’s final week on Earth as recorded by Mark.

Next Steps:
• Consider what kind of Messiah you are seeking.
• Reflecting on current or recent life circumstances, consider how God is calling you to let go of human concerns and replace them with God’s concerns.
• Begin praying for someone you plan to invite to join us for Easter.

Mark 2:15-17

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:
• Invite your non-Christian friends to your house for a meal; build a relationship with them.
• Reflect on the idea that Jesus—not us—hosts the table. Pray that this perspective will help you to be more accepting and loving of people.

Mark 11:1-12

Countdowns are exciting. Whether it is the days leading up to a birthday or the seconds before the ball drops on New Years Eve, there is a certain sense of anticipation with these moments culminating in something worth celebrating. As Christians, we feel the same excitement when it comes to the resurrection of our Savior. In this series, entitled “Countdown to Calvary,” we will be looking at Christ’s final week on Earth as recorded by Mark.

Next Steps:
• Identify some ways we make Jesus into what we desire instead of letting him transform us into his image.
• Reflect on your response to Jesus in your life: are you a fan or a follower? Find one way you can follow Jesus more closely.

Luke 22:19-20

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:
• Reflect on how you can view communion as a story of resurrection this week. Think about how this can change your attitude and actions.
• Meditate on Luke 22:19-20 this week and reflect on how the new covenant changes your life.

Mark 14:53-72 / Mark 15:1-20

Countdowns are exciting. Whether it is the days leading up to a birthday or the seconds before the ball drops on New Years Eve, there is a certain sense of anticipation with these moments culminating in something worth celebrating. As Christians, we feel the same excitement when it comes to the resurrection of our Savior. In this series, entitled “Countdown to Calvary,” we will be looking at Christ’s final week on Earth as recorded by Mark.

Next Steps:
• Identify some areas in your life where you need to remain silent instead of speaking out.
• Meditate this week on Proverbs 10:19: “Too much talk leads to sin. Be sensible and keep your mouth shut.”
• Pray for someone you plan to invite to join us for Easter.

Mark 14:1-11

Countdowns are exciting. Whether it is the days leading up to a birthday or the seconds before the ball drops on New Years Eve, there is a certain sense of anticipation with these moments culminating in something worth celebrating. As Christians, we feel the same excitement when it comes to the resurrection of our Savior. In this series, entitled “Countdown to Calvary,” we will be looking at Christ’s final week on Earth as recorded by Mark.

Next Steps:
• Identify a way you can worship God extravagantly this week.
• Ask God to show you ways you have been judgmental of others in the way they worship.

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.

Colossians 3:15

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:
• Take steps to resolve conflict with anyone you have conflict with this week.
- I will seek peace with God this week.
- I will ask ___________for forgiveness this week.
- I will forgive ________ this week with no strings attached.

At Castle Hills Christian Church, our theme for 2023 is "Connect." We want to intentionally connect with God and with others this year.

Next Steps:
• Look for ways to connect this week; consider joining a life group or Sunday class, finding a place to serve, or starting a YouVersion Bible study with someone.
• Intentionally look for someone who is struggling, lonely, or isolated and connect with them this week.

Luke 10:25-37

As followers of Jesus, we have accepted the role of servants. The ministry of serving others is what Jesus calls us to do all throughout the whole Bible. In John 21, Jesus challenges Peter to serve others as a result of truly loving him. In this sermon, comedian and ChildFund partner Tony Wolf challenges us to do the same and shares what this looks like in our world today.

Next Steps:
• Ask yourself what am I doing for the “least of these?”
• Consider sponsoring a child through ChildFund.

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.”

Mark 5:21-34

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:
• Slow Down and ask God to help you notice the needs around you.
• Pray that God will equip and encourage you to step out and be generous with your words, time, attention, and belongings.

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:
• Examine your heart and identify if you tend to be a reluctant, obligatory or cheerful giver.
• Make a list of things you want to thank God for and spend time praying through the list this week.

John 1:14 / Acts 2:42-47 / Philippians 2:4

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:
• Find a Life Group to connect with this year.
• Pick a Kingdom Habit to practice this week in a way to be more loving. 
• Spend time praying for our church as we seek to use our campus for the community and start new churches.

1 John 1:6-8/4:7-12

Why is it so hard to love at times? Why has our culture gotten to a point where we lash out instead of love when we disagree about anything? What if we lived a counter-cultural life? What if we lived a life where love was illuminated? In this series, we will be going through the book of First John and learning what it really means to live as the light of God’s love. We will talk about the tension between light and darkness, belief and denial, obedience and rebellion, and ultimately, love and fear. As we go through this four-part series, we will be reminded that while it is important to recognize the lines between truth and error, this must always be done in a spirit of love.

Next Steps:
• Pay attention to whether your words and actions reflect light or darkness.
• Identify someone in your life you need to demonstrate love to this week.

John 6:35

If you were to take a poll and ask a simple question, “Who is Jesus?” you would probably get a multitude of answers. In fact, if you asked a thousand people their opinions about Jesus, you would probably get a thousand responses. In the end, what really matters is not what other people say about Jesus, but what Jesus says about Himself. This is why we are so excited to start our series called “I Am: Jesus in His Own Words.” In this series, we’ll look at seven statements in the Gospel of John where Jesus says, “I am.” We will listen in on several different conversations in which Jesus makes very specific, far-reaching, and even outrageous “I am” statements about himself.

Next Steps:
• What has God provided?
• Be thankful and content.
• What can you put at Jesus’s feet this week and then wait for Him to provide?

1 John 2:15-17

Why is it so hard to love at times? Why has our culture gotten to a point where we lash out instead of love when we disagree about anything? What if we lived a counter-cultural life? What if we lived a life where love was illuminated? In this series, we will be going through the book of First John and learning what it really means to live as the light of God’s love. We will talk about the tension between light and darkness, belief and denial, obedience and rebellion, and ultimately, love and fear. As we go through this four-part series, we will be reminded that while it is important to recognize the lines between truth and error, this must always be done in a spirit of love.

Next Steps:
• Evaluate how you view your possessions: Have they become an idol in your life? Are you consuming too much? Do you need to simplify? Are your possessions keeping you from loving God and people?
• Look for ways to be generous this week.

John 11

When you’re driving, you pay attention to signs. Some signs inform you to go in one direction, others order you to “turn here,” and still others tell you how fast you can go. Signs tell us important things. In the book of John we see seven signs; the other gospels call them miracles. In this sermon series called "I Wonder," John shows us signs that point us to truths about Jesus.

Next Steps:
• Slow down; don't rush or make rash decisions.
• Connect with God in new ways this week. Begin or renew your relationship with Him, knowing that He is the Resurrection and the life we seek.

John 11:25

If you were to take a poll and ask a simple question, “Who is Jesus?” you would probably get a multitude of answers. In fact, if you asked a thousand people their opinions about Jesus, you would probably get a thousand responses. In the end, what really matters is not what other people say about Jesus, but what Jesus says about Himself. This is why we are so excited to start our series called “I Am: Jesus in His Own Words.” In this series, we’ll look at seven statements in the Gospel of John where Jesus says, “I am.” We will listen in on several different conversations in which Jesus makes very specific, far-reaching, and even outrageous “I am” statements about himself.

Next Steps:
• Reflect on the idea that Jesus is the resurrection and life; how does this change or shape your view about death?
• Pray every day this week for someone who is grieving; check in with them and encourage them.

1 John 5:1-5

Why is it so hard to love at times? Why has our culture gotten to a point where we lash out instead of love when we disagree about anything? What if we lived a counter-cultural life? What if we lived a life where love was illuminated? In this series, we will be going through the book of First John and learning what it really means to live as the light of God’s love. We will talk about the tension between light and darkness, belief and denial, obedience and rebellion, and ultimately, love and fear. As we go through this four-part series, we will be reminded that while it is important to recognize the lines between truth and error, this must always be done in a spirit of love.

Next Steps:
• Consider areas of your life where you are typically obedient, and take some time to reflect on what is motivating you to be obedient: love or obligation?
• Identify an area of your life where you are struggling to be obedient; pray that God will stir your heart in such a way that you are moved to obey as a response to your love for Him.

1 John 1:1-5

Why is it so hard to love at times? Why has our culture gotten to a point where we lash out instead of love when we disagree about anything? What if we lived a counter-cultural life? What if we lived a life where love was illuminated? In this series, we will be going through the book of First John and learning what it really means to live as the light of God’s love. We will talk about the tension between light and darkness, belief and denial, obedience and rebellion, and ultimately, love and fear. As we go through this four-part series, we will be reminded that while it is important to recognize the lines between truth and error, this must always be done in a spirit of love.

Next Steps:
• Look for ways to experience God this week.
• Make it a priority to find time for solitude this week.

Revelation 21

We know the book of Revelation can cause feelings of fear and intimidation because it is typically associated with things like the "rapture" or the "end of the world." However, in reality, the book uses bold, highly symbolic language to point people to the spiritual truths behind the social and political situations of their time. The book of Revelation was designed to help the original audience understand the day-to-day realities they were facing, but it still has something to say to us today!

Next Steps:
• Identify ways you are creating or allowing division, pain, distance from God and evil to thrive. Commit to removing them.
• Pray the Lord’s Prayer from Matthew 6:9-13 every day this week.

John 9:1-11

When you’re driving, you pay attention to signs. Some signs inform you to go in one direction, others order you to “turn here,” and still others tell you how fast you can go. Signs tell us important things. In the book of John we see seven signs; the other gospels call them miracles. In this sermon series called "I Wonder," John shows us signs that point us to truths about Jesus.

Next Steps:
• What are some spiritual windows of opportunity you have missed out on? If possible, go and act on those that you still can.
• How is God using your present circumstances or circumstance to draw you closer to Him? Once you identify them or it, specifically thank God for that circumstance.
• Do not be afraid to trust God with blind faith or blind obedience.

Matthew 6:2,5,18 / Luke 18

In this series entitled "The Thing Beneath the Thing," we will be asking you to do some self-examination, to ask yourself some hard questions like: Why do I do what I do? Why do I lash out in certain situations? Have I dealt with past and current wounds? As we take this journey together, it may be painful at times, but it is well worth it as we let God help us understand ourselves better and heal.

Next Steps:
• Find a safe place where you can take off your mask, where you can be real and vulnerable.
• Ask yourself whether you have any hypocritical tendencies; if you do, confess and repent.

John 2:1-11

When you’re driving, you pay attention to signs. Some signs inform you to go in one direction, others order you to “turn here,” and still others tell you how fast you can go. Signs tell us important things. In the book of John we see seven signs; the other gospels call them miracles. In this sermon series called "I Wonder," John shows us signs that point us to truths about Jesus.

Next Step:
• Identify an area of your life where you have been living in scarcity and ask God to bring abundance to that area.

John 4

Our days are full of conversation. On any given day, we have dozens of interactions and conversations. In fact, one study out of Britain revealed that the average person has 27 conversations every day, lasting an average of 10 minutes each. Some of these conversations are with strangers and close friends, in coffee shops or at work, over a meal or on the phone.  Some conversations are quick and light, others are long and deep. Conversations matter, and they hold the potential to change a whole day, or, in some cases, a life. In this series, called Conversations with Jesus, we will be exploring several conversations that Jesus had with people in the book of John.  Each of these conversations was intentional, crucial, and life-changing. These conversations that Jesus had centuries ago can still impact us today. 

Next Steps:
• Intentionally have a conversation with someone you might view as an outcast or someone who is not usually ‘in your circle’; listen to and love them.
• Recall your faith story. What was a transitional moment for you? When given the opportunity, share your faith story this week.

Acts 2:42-46

In this series entitled "The Thing Beneath the Thing," we will be asking you to do some self-examination, to ask yourself some hard questions like: Why do I do what I do? Why do I lash out in certain situations? Have I dealt with past and current wounds? As we take this journey together, it may be painful at times, but it is well worth it as we let God help us understand ourselves better and heal.

Next Steps:
• Commit to living out your faith in community and find a small group of Christians to  connect with, if you don’t already have one.
• Pick one of the five kingdom habits that is most lacking in your life and start practicing it with other Jesus followers this week.

John 20:19-29

Our days are full of conversation. On any given day, we have dozens of interactions and conversations. In fact, one study out of Britain revealed that the average person has 27 conversations every day, lasting an average of 10 minutes each. Some of these conversations are with strangers and close friends, in coffee shops or at work, over a meal or on the phone.  Some conversations are quick and light, others are long and deep. Conversations matter, and they hold the potential to change a whole day, or, in some cases, a life. In this series, called Conversations with Jesus, we will be exploring several conversations that Jesus had with people in the book of John.  Each of these conversations was intentional, crucial, and life-changing. These conversations that Jesus had centuries ago can still impact us today. 

Next Steps:
• Identify a doubt or unanswered question you have about God. Talk openly with God about your concerns. Open up to a trusted spiritual mentor about your doubt or question.
• Commit to being a good listener instead of a critic when someone expresses doubts or questions about God.

John 3

Our days are full of conversation. On any given day, we have dozens of interactions and conversations. In fact, one study out of Britain revealed that the average person has 27 conversations every day, lasting an average of 10 minutes each. Some of these conversations are with strangers and close friends, in coffee shops or at work, over a meal or on the phone.  Some conversations are quick and light, others are long and deep. Conversations matter, and they hold the potential to change a whole day, or, in some cases, a life. In this series, called Conversations with Jesus, we will be exploring several conversations that Jesus had with people in the book of John.  Each of these conversations was intentional, crucial, and life-changing. These conversations that Jesus had centuries ago can still impact us today. 

Next Steps:
• Have a conversation with Jesus this week; ask Him to show you areas where you need transformation.
• Reflect on a pivotal conversation you’ve had that helped you understand God better.
• Have an intentional conversation with someone this week, and look for ways to share your faith.

1 Timothy 1:12-17 / 2 Timothy 2:1

In this series entitled "The Thing Beneath the Thing," we will be asking you to do some self-examination, to ask yourself some hard questions like: Why do I do what I do? Why do I lash out in certain situations? Have I dealt with past and current wounds? As we take this journey together, it may be painful at times, but it is well worth it as we let God help us understand ourselves better and heal.

Next Steps:
• Identify something you need to let go of today so that you can step into more grace and peace.
• Reflect on your story of grace this week.

Search me, O God, and know my heart;
    test me and know my anxious thoughts.

Revelation 2:12-17

In the beginning of the book of Revelation, God speaks directly to seven churches throughout Asia, modern day Turkey, through seven letters addressing their strengths and weaknesses. In Dear Church, we will look at not only the strengths and weaknesses of the seven churches in Asia but also what these letters can teach the church of today.

Next Steps:
• Pray that God will open your eyes to the areas where you have allowed compromise to creep into your life.
• Repent of the behaviors you are tolerating that you know God would object to.

Revelation 2:1-7

In the beginning of the book of Revelation, God speaks directly to seven churches throughout Asia, modern day Turkey, through seven letters addressing their strengths and weaknesses. In Dear Church, we will look at not only the strengths and weaknesses of the seven churches in Asia but also what these letters can teach the church of today.

Next Steps:
• Reflect on the letter God is writing on your conscience. Is he asking you to return to your first love?
• Demonstrate love to someone who might be difficult to love this week.

“Who is Jesus?” The world has answered this question in many different ways: historians say He is a historical figure; skeptics say He is a myth; and some religions believe He was simply a good prophet. In "Jesus Is" we are going to discover how Jesus is described in John chapter 1.

Next Steps:
• Identify an area of your life where you are living selfishly. Submit to Jesus’s authority in this area of your life and choose to live humbly and sacrificially instead of selfishly.
• Find a consistent place to volunteer and serve in our church, in your neighborhood, or around our city.

Luke 10:38-42

Our lives are chaotic, and so many things are pulling us away from what is important in life. If we are going to pursue deeper connection with God, meaningful relationships with friends and family, and opportunities to help and serve others, we are going to have to focus. We will need to minimize distractions, quiet the noise and slow down. It is time for us to focus.

Next Steps:
• Identify some ways the enemy is distracting you and think about how you can limit these.
• Consider the good things in your schedule that are leaving no time for the best. What can you eliminate?
• Decide what your main focus in 2022 will be.

• Identify some ways the enemy is distracting you and think about how you can limit these.
• Consider the good things in your schedule that are leaving no time for the best. What can you eliminate?
• Decide what your main focus in 2022 will be.

Revelation 2:18-29

In the beginning of the book of Revelation, God speaks directly to seven churches throughout Asia, modern day Turkey, through seven letters addressing their strengths and weaknesses. In Dear Church, we will look at not only the strengths and weaknesses of the seven churches in Asia but also what these letters can teach the church of today.

Next Steps:
• Love someone enough to have hard conversations.
• Consider whether there are any areas you are too tolerant in.

John 1:29

“Who is Jesus?” The world has answered this question in many different ways: historians say He is a historical figure; skeptics say He is a myth; and some religions believe He was simply a good prophet. In "Jesus Is" we are going to discover how Jesus is described in John chapter 1.

Next Steps:
• Reflect on the depth of love Jesus displayed by dying on the cross for us. 
• List some practical ways you can keep your focus on God; then follow through!

      <description><![CDATA[What comes to your mind when you hear the word canceled? Maybe you think about it in relation to stopping or disconnecting a subscription or a service. This term is also used to describe people we no longer want to associate with. If someone does or says something we don’t like or agree with, we simply cancel them from our lives. We disassociate from them. We let go. In many ways, we say that the person no longer offers value to us and our lives. We live in cancel culture.

In this series called "Canceled," we will talk about what it means as Christians to live in a cancel culture and explore whether cancel culture is Biblical. We will wrestle with loving people who are difficult to love in our lives.
I Samuel 24:1-7, Matthew 5:38-45

Next Steps:
Identify someone in your life you have hostility or anger toward. Pray for them by name each day this week. Avoid the tendency to pray for them to have a change of heart. Instead, pray that God will bless them.
Look for opportunities to go above and beyond in how kind you are this week.

      <description><![CDATA[What comes to your mind when you hear the word cancelled? Maybe you think about it in relation to stopping or disconnecting a subscription or a service. This term is also used to describe people we no longer want to associate with. If someone does or says something we don’t like or agree with, we simply cancel them from our lives. We disassociate from them. We let go. In many ways, we say that the person no longer offers value to us and our lives. We live in cancel culture.

In this series called "Cancelled," we will talk about what it means as Christians to live in a cancel culture and explore whether cancel culture is Biblical. We will wrestle with loving people who are difficult to love in our lives.

February 7, 2021

Next Steps:
• Instead of unfriending someone you disagree with, let their posts in your feed remind you to pray for them. When you pray for them, don’t just pray that God will change their mind. Ask God how He sees them. Ask God to help you love them like He loves them. Ask God to cancel your anger so you don’t need to cancel a relationship.
• Who’s your woman at the well? Have a conversation with someone you might be tempted to cancel out, listen and understand more than you talk.
• Look for God in your simple tasks this week, washing the dishes, while doing laundry, while taking your garbage cans out.

Next Steps:
• Read Acts 27 and 28 this week.
• What is an opportunity God is giving you to minister to someone right now?
• What is one thing you have learned in the shipwreck?

      <description><![CDATA[Matthew 7:24-27
January 10, 2021

If someone or something is thriving, that means it is doing well. To thrive is to grow vigorously. Plants can thrive, businesses can thrive, people can thrive; and when they are thriving, great things are happening.

Now thrive may be the last word you are thinking about as we begin 2021. Many people are just thinking about surviving, trying to get by, living one day at time. But what if God called us to more? What if He wants you to thrive spiritually, thrive in the chaos, thrive at work and in school, thrive by giving up control? 

What if we made it a goal in 2021 to thrive? I believe great things will happen in our lives, in our city, and in our faith community when we thrive. 

This week we talk about how we can thrive in chaos.

Next Steps:
• Meditate on Matthew 7:25:  Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock.
• Find a spot in nature to sit with God; think about how you can thrive in the chaos.
• Take some to think about whether you have any sandy areas in your foundation.

      <description><![CDATA[As we prepare for the Christmas season, join us for our new series called When God, in which we will do a deep dive into the Christmas story and see that God actively participates not only in the birth of Christ but also in our lives today. In this sermon we look at the examples of Mary and Joseph, and consider what to do when God turns our world upside-down.

Next Steps:
• Identify what part of the story of Jesus’s birth you find most relatable.
• How might you view disruptions to your life differently? Look back over the past year and consider what God might be preparing you for.

• Find a creative way to thank someone who has modeled wisdom for you or been a mentor for you.
• Be intentional about having meaningful conversations with your friends and family this week.

      <description><![CDATA[We may never notice guardrails, but they are important barriers between us  and certain danger. No one needs a guardrail…until they do. No one has ever regretted establishing a guardrail—but there are plenty of us who have felt pain because we didn’t put guardrails up around our heart, marriage and family, finances, or church. Join us for a conversation as we talk about guardrails.

This week we talk about putting guardrails around your finances.

Matthew 6:24

Next Steps:
• What are you tempted to let own you instead of you owning it?
• What is one thing you will limit your consumption on this week?

      <description><![CDATA[If someone or something is thriving, that means it is doing well. To thrive is to grow vigorously. Plants can thrive, businesses can thrive, people can thrive; and when they are thriving, great things are happening.

Now thrive may be the last word you are thinking about as we begin 2021. Many people are just thinking about surviving, trying to get by, living one day at time. But what if God called us to more? What if He wants you to thrive spiritually, thrive in the chaos, thrive at work and in school, thrive by giving up control? 

What if we made it a goal in 2021 to thrive? I believe great things will happen in our lives, in our city, and in our faith community when we thrive. 

This week we talk about how we can thrive by letting go of control.

Next Steps:
• Meditate on 1 Peter 5:7: “Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.”
• What are you trying to control that God wants you to surrender? Write this down.
• Share this struggle with someone you trust and ask them to hold you accountable.

      <description><![CDATA[We may never notice guardrails, but they are important barriers between us  and certain danger. No one needs a guardrail…until they do. No one has ever regretted establishing a guardrail—but there are plenty of us who have felt pain because we didn’t put guardrails up around our heart, marriage and family, finances, or church. Join us for a conversation as we talk about guardrails.

This week we talk about putting guardrails around our church so we stay on mission.

• Pray that CHCC would stay on mission.

If someone or something is thriving, that means it is doing well. To thrive is to grow vigorously. Plants can thrive, businesses can thrive, people can thrive; and when they are thriving, great things are happening.

Now thrive may be the last word you are thinking about as we begin 2021. Many people are just thinking about surviving, trying to get by, living one day at time. But what if God called us to more?

What if we made it a goal in 2021 to thrive? I believe great things will happen in our lives, in our city, and in our faith community when we thrive. 

Next Steps:
• Meditate on John 1:4-5: Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
• What is an area you feel like God is pruning you right now?
• Turn-off all electronic devices for one hour this week.

Now thrive may be the last word you are thinking about as we begin 2021. Many people are just thinking about surviving, trying to get by, living one day at time. But what if God called us to more? What if He wants you to thrive spiritually, thrive in the chaos, thrive at work and in school, thrive by giving up control? 

What if we made it a goal in 2021 to thrive? I believe great things will happen in our lives, in our city, and in our faith community when we thrive. 

Next Steps:
• Meditate on John 1:4-5: Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
• What is an area you feel like God is pruning you right now?
• Turn-off all electronic devices for one hour this week.

      <description><![CDATA[Luke 2:25-38
Simeon, Anna

As we prepare for the Christmas season, join us for our new series called When God, in which we will do a deep dive into the Christmas story and see that God actively participates not only in the birth of Christ but also in our lives today. In this sermon we look at the examples of Simeon and Anna, and consider what to do when God makes us wait.

Next Steps:
• What do you think God might be teaching you in your season of waiting?
• What are some healthy habits you can develop while you are waiting?
• Identify circumstances that make you impatient.
• Practice patience by standing in the longest line at the store or waiting a few extra minutes before drinking the milkshake.

      <description><![CDATA[We may never notice guardrails, but they are important barriers between us  and certain danger. No one needs a guardrail…until they do. No one has ever regretted establishing a guardrail—but there are plenty of us who have felt pain because we didn’t put guardrails up around our heart, marriage and family, finances, or church. Join us for a conversation as we talk about guardrails.

This week we talk about putting guardrails around your relationships.

Next Steps
• Is there a secret or lie affecting your life that you need to confess?
• Identify temptations that threaten your relationship. 
• Discuss with your spouse or boy/girlfriend what guardrails you will put up in your relationship

      <description><![CDATA[You never thought it could happen to you, then one day you wake up and you have become that person you never thought you would be. That person who is cynical, disconnected, prideful, burned out, and even that person who makes compromises. This week we are starting a series called Didn’t See it Coming based on a book by Carey Nieuwhof. We will wrestle with the above challenges together and see how God’s word provides encouragement and tools to help us overcome them.

This week we explored compromises of our character and how they  can erode our integrity.

2 Samuel 11:1-5 (NLT)
Late one afternoon, after his midday rest, David got out of bed and was walking on the roof of the palace. As he looked out over the city, he noticed a woman of unusual beauty taking a bath.

He sent someone to find out who she was, and he was told, “She is Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite.” Then David sent messengers to get her; and when she came to the palace, he slept with her. She had just completed the purification rites after having her menstrual period. Then she returned home. Later, when Bathsheba discovered that she was pregnant, she sent David a message, saying, “I’m pregnant.”

Signs You are Drifting


1.   There’s a growing gap between your public life and private life
2.   You are hiding things
3.   You are not being honest
4.   You justify your bad actions or decisions 
5.   Your life has become all about you

Next Steps:
-In what areas and at what times is it easiest for you to compromise?
-Do you have a secret that you need to confess?
-Who is your Nathan? Which person in your life will call you out when you are compromising?

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[You never thought it could happen to you, then one day you wake up and you have become that person you never thought you would be. That person who is cynical, disconnected, prideful, burned out, and even that person who makes compromises. This week we are starting a series called Didn’t See it Coming based on a book by Carey Nieuwhof. We will wrestle with the above challenges together and see how God’s word provides encouragement and tools to help us overcome them.

This week we explored compromises of our character and how they  can erode our integrity.

2 Samuel 11:1-5 (NLT)
Late one afternoon, after his midday rest, David got out of bed and was walking on the roof of the palace. As he looked out over the city, he noticed a woman of unusual beauty taking a bath.

He sent someone to find out who she was, and he was told, “She is Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite.” Then David sent messengers to get her; and when she came to the palace, he slept with her. She had just completed the purification rites after having her menstrual period. Then she returned home. Later, when Bathsheba discovered that she was pregnant, she sent David a message, saying, “I’m pregnant.”

Signs You are Drifting


1.   There’s a growing gap between your public life and private life
2.   You are hiding things
3.   You are not being honest
4.   You justify your bad actions or decisions 
5.   Your life has become all about you

Next Steps:
-In what areas and at what times is it easiest for you to compromise?
-Do you have a secret that you need to confess?
-Who is your Nathan? Which person in your life will call you out when you are compromising?

Proverbs 12:18-20 (NLT)

-Turn off social media. Take a 24, 48 or 72-hour break from social media. Delete the apps from your phone if it will help.
-Set tech and media rules for yourself. (i.e. no phone or TV after 10:00 p.m. or no phones at mealtimes)
-Be intentional about improving your listening and communication skills.
-Find an accountability partner.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[You never thought it could happen to you, then one day you wake up and you have become that person you never thought you would be. That person who is cynical, disconnected, prideful, burned out, and even that person who makes compromises. This week we are starting a series called Didn’t See it Coming based on a book by Carey Nieuwhof. We will wrestle with the above challenges together and see how God’s word provides encouragement and tools to help us overcome them.

This week we looked at the tendency to be disconnected that plagues our culture.

Proverbs 12:18-20 (NLT)
“Some people make cutting remarks, but the words of the wise bring healing. Truthful words stand the test of time, but lies are soon exposed. Deceit fills hearts that are plotting evil; joy fills hearts that are planning peace!”

Next Steps
-Turn off social media. Take a 24, 48 or 72-hour break from social media. Delete the apps from your phone if it will help.

      <description><![CDATA[We often think of the feeding of the 5,000 as a story about Jesus miraculously providing food, which it is. But we also need to understand Jesus provided because his followers did not. Jesus was not inconvenienced by needy people, he welcomed them. Jesus also asks his followers to care about people in need and provide for them.

Next Steps:
• Take an inventory of your resources and find a creative way to help someone in need this week.
• Donate or volunteer this week at the church’s food pantry, West Avenue Compassion or the San Antonio Food Bank.
• Prepare a meal for someone in need.

      <description><![CDATA[Almost every major event or celebration is occasioned by a big meal. This isn’t true of only our culture. People have been feasting for generations all over the world. A shared meal has great power to bind people together in shared memory and celebration.

This week we kicked off this series by looking at how Jesus treated a woman with a bad reputation who showed up uninvited at a dinner party. Jesus welcomed her, just as she was and pushed back against the religious people who judged her. Like Jesus, our tables should be open to everyone.<br/>]]></description>
