Scripture Reference: Psalm 87
Ezekiel’s vision of the Temple has a river flowing out of it. What will flow out of Christ Pres in the years to come? We will “Build A Home.” God is not saving isolated individuals. He’s saving a corporate entity called the Church. But life together is not easy nor natural. It takes work.
Sermon Points:
Scripture Reference: Luke 24:13-32
The beginning of a three-week mini series on CPC’s core values, we look at what we mean when we say that we “Proclaim a Hope.” The Bible (and more specifically what the Bible talks about) is the heart of what we’re about here. The Bible’s authority, it’s subject, and it’s power is our topic this morning.
Sermon Points:
Scripture Reference: 2 Samuel 6:16-23
Something has happened to David. The hard lessons of inviting Yahweh’s presence to dwell among them have dug a deep well of transforming joy in his heart, so much so that he’s able to dance with the lowest rung of society and stave off his wife’s condescending mockery.

Sermon Points:
Scripture Reference: 2 Samuel 6:5-10
The celebration surrounding the return of the ark to the tabernacle comes to an abrupt and violent halt when two young priests are killed along the way. Turns out that the Presence of God is a dangerous thing that must be carefully considered before casually entering in.
