    CVBC Matthew 6:10 "Your Kingdom Come"

    This sermon explored how profoundly God-centered Jesus' instruction on prayer truly is, calling us to shift our focus from ourselves to Him and His purposes. We discovered that the kingdom of God—God's people in God's place under God's rule and blessing—is both a present reality and a future hope. Through parables like the sower, the wheat and weeds, and the mustard seed, Jesus teaches us that His kingdom grows through unexpected means: through the proclamation of the gospel, through sacrifice and meekness, and through a crucified and risen King. When we pray "your will be done," we're submitting our human desires to God's greater, wiser, perfect will—the same submission Jesus modeled in Gethsemane. We're praying for the purity and perfection of heaven to break into our earthly reality, both now in part and one day in full.

    CVBC Matthew 6:9 "Hallowed Be Your Name"

    This sermon explored the first petition of the Lord's Prayer, examining what it means to hallow—or set apart as holy—the name of God. We discovered that this isn't about making God's name more holy than it already is, but rather about our hearts being transformed to recognize and honor the holiness that has always been there. When we pray for God's name to be hallowed, we're asking that His glory would be displayed both in our lives and throughout the world. This petition reminds us that prayer isn't about bending God's will to ours, but about allowing God to bend our will to His. The beautiful truth is that when God's name is most glorified, we are most satisfied—His glory and our good are never in competition but always work together.

    CVBC Matthew 6:9 "Our Father"

    In this sermon, we began unpacking the profound opening words of the Lord's Prayer: "Our Father in heaven." What may seem like a simple introduction is actually the foundation for everything that follows. These four words reveal not only who God is, but also who we are in relation to Him through Christ. The sermon explored how our approach to prayer reflects our understanding of God's character and our identity as His adopted children. When we grasp that we come to God not on our own merits but united with Christ, and that we're speaking to a Father who is both intimately personal and infinitely powerful, it transforms our entire prayer life.

    CVBC Matthew 6:5-8 "When We Pray"

    This sermon begins a series on the Lord's Prayer by examining what Jesus teaches about the heart posture behind prayer. Before we learn the words of the Lord's Prayer, we need to understand the heart attitudes that should accompany all our prayers.

    CVBC 2 Cor 5:17

    This sermon explored the profound reality of being united with Christ and how this identity transforms everything about how we live, see the world, and battle sin. We looked at how being "in Christ" means we are no longer "in Adam" - no longer defined by sin and spiritual death, but now made into new creations through Jesus, our second Adam. This union with Christ is not merely a theological concept or occasional religious activity; it's a complete identity shift that satisfies the deepest longings of our souls and equips us for every challenge we face in this world.

    CVBC Acts 28:17-31

    In this sermon, we concluded our year-and-a-half exposition through the book of Acts with a look at Paul's final days in Rome. The sermon explored how Paul, even while chained and under house arrest, continued proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about Jesus Christ "with all boldness and without hindrance." We were reminded that while Paul's circumstances were limiting, the gospel itself was never hindered—and that same unhindered message continues to advance through us today. This conclusion isn't just the end of a Bible study; it's a call for us to pick up the baton and continue the mission God has entrusted to His church.

    CVBC Acts 28:1-16

    This sermon explored Acts 28:1-16, following Paul's shipwreck survival, his encounter with a venomous snake, the healings on Malta, and his long-awaited arrival in Rome. Through Paul's experience, we saw that the Christian life is full of surprises—ups and downs, good days and bad days, moments of promise and moments of doubt. Yet through it all, God was sovereignly using every circumstance for His purposes and Paul's good. The narrative reminds us that even when we don't understand our circumstances, we can trust the One who does, knowing that His peace will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

    CVBC Acts 27:1-44

    This sermon on Acts 27 explored Paul's treacherous sea voyage as a prisoner bound for Rome, where he and 275 others faced a violent storm that lasted fourteen days. Through this historical narrative, we discovered that God remains sovereign and faithful even when circumstances seem completely out of control. Luke's detailed account reminds us that when we've exhausted our own strength and "all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned," God is still present, still powerful, and still working out His purposes. This passage challenges us to examine what our lives are built upon—the shifting sand of our own control, or the unmovable Rock of Ages. Most importantly, we were reminded of the foundational truth that we belong to God, purchased by the blood of His Son, and that He will see us through every storm according to His perfect will.
