    Loving, Not Limiting | Pastor Rick Wright | The Church at CW

    On March 4, 1865, Abraham Lincoln delivered his second inaugural address to a nation that was nearing the end of the great Civil War. As he spoke, he passionately and deliberately called a divided nation toward reconciliation. He spoke “Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray…”, saying “the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous, altogether.” Even amid conflict, he sought restoration and relief from a Holy God, rather than revenge and destruction. In Genesis 18, Abraham shows us that friendship with God creates a burden for others. He welcomed God’s presence, honestly conversed with Him, and persistently pleaded for mercy on behalf of Sodom. Abraham understood the seriousness of judgment and the value of intercession. Yet in Genesis 19, Lot’s family hesitated, reminding us that delaying obedience can have devastating consequences. The gospel compassionately reveals an even greater love: Jesus Christ stepped into our judgment, bearing the punishment for our sin so that we might be rescued. As friends of God, we must love enough to intercede, warn others of judgment, and point them to the mercy found in Jesus before it is too late. Join us this week as we continue our series on Friends of God. #thechurchatcw #liveworship #sermon #preaching #onlinechurch  Chapters: 00:00 Jehova ( ⁨@elevationworship⁩ ) 06:11 Jesus Be the Name ( ⁨@elevationworship⁩ ) 16:55 Covered By the Blood ( ⁨@gatewayworship⁩ ) 28:25 Welcome 35:36 Message - Loving, Not Limiting 39:30 1.

    Less of Me, More of Thee

    There’s a famous painting depicting General George Washington kneeling in prayer at Valley Forge during the American Revolution. In the winter of 1777, Washington’s army endured hunger, disease, and uncertainty while there. Yet Washington persevered through the darkness, refusing to abandoned the post, leading from a place of faith, trusting in God’s providential hand for wisdom and salvation. What does waiting on God mean? In seasons of doubt, it means trusting His promises rather than pursuing our own preferences. In Genesis 13, Abraham and Lot faced a decision that would shape their futures. Lot chose the fertile plains near Sodom, while Abraham surrendered his right to choose first and trusted God to provide, where God would give him Canaan. Lot followed what was best for the flesh, but Abraham rested in God’s promises. Separated by nearly 3,800 years, Abraham and Washington remind us that faith means staying true to God’s purpose rather than chasing what looks easiest. Don’t wander, chasing what looks best; wait faithfully for what God has promised.

    Going, Not Knowing | Pastor Rick Wright | The Church at CW

    Imagine packing your bags for a road trip without knowing the destination. You would likely feel uncertain, you would likely feel better about the trip if you knew and trusted the person that was driving. In Genesis 12, Abraham faced a similar moment when God called him to leave his homeland and follow Him into the unknown. Abraham obeyed, but the journey included detours, poor decisions, and difficult lessons. Still, in all of this, God remained faithful and welcomed Abraham back to the altar. Sometimes, God calls us to take the next step before revealing the entire path. We may stumble along the way, but His grace invites us to return to Him. Faith isn’t having every answer or knowing the destination; it’s trusting God enough to follow wherever He leads, having confidence He'll guide you through. Come and worship with us this week as we begin our new series Friends of God. #thechurchatcw #liveworship #sermon #preaching #onlinechurch  00:00 Graves Into Gardens ( ⁨@elevationworship⁩ ) 05:56 Worthy of It All ( ⁨@CeCeWinansOfficial⁩ ) 11:17 Exhortation & How Great Thou Art 14:50 I'm Desperate For You ( ⁨@RedRocksWorship⁩ ) 21:08 Celebration & Welcome 24:15 Message - Going, Not Knowing 30:14 1.

    Discipleship | Pastor Dave Roper | The Church at CW

    Discipleship - Most every church pastor will say they want it. And just about as many will say their congregation struggles with it. What is discipleship? Do we even know what it is that we want to have, but struggle to obtain? On the night of his arrest, just after instituting the Lord’s Supper, Jesus gave the 11 apostles a “new commandment.” He went on to tell them exactly what to do to make sure everyone knew they were his disciples. Is the secret to discipleship right there before our eyes?   Join us this week at CCW as we explore the “new commandment” and how it relates to the concept of discipleship. #thechurchatcw #liveworship #sermon #preaching #onlinechurch  Message Notes - https://thechurchatcw.com/WatchWithNotes?mediaId=6acd22aded425009a1071e3a New here?  Click here:  https://thechurchatcw.com/connect If you need prayer or want to share a good report click here: https://thechurchatcw.churchcenter.com/people/forms/182972 If you have made a decision to follow Jesus or want to get involved at CCW: text “ccwconnect” to 94000 If you would like to give to help support CCW, click here:  https://thechurchatcw.com/give Connect with The Church at CW:  Website | thechurchatcw.com YouTube | @thechurchatcw Facebook | @thechurchatcw Instagram | @thechurchatcw TikTok | @thechurchatcw

    Partnership | Pastor Rick Wright | The Church at CW

    There’s something powerful about having a friend who will refuse to let you stay where you are. In Mark 2, four friends saw a man who couldn’t get to Jesus on his own, so they picked him up, carried him, and tore a hole in the roof just to get him to Christ. That’s partnership. Real friends won't just celebrate with you when life is good; they'll carry you when life gets heavy. Someone once said, “A true friend will carry you when you can’t carry yourself.” That’s exactly what these men did. Galatians 6:2 says, “Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” We need friends who will pray with us, fight for us, and help us get closer to Jesus. Join us we continue, this week, looking at true Friendship. #thechurchatcw #liveworship #sermon #preaching #onlinechurch  00:00 The King Is In the Room ( ⁨@philwickham⁩ ) 05:57 Covered By the Blood ( ⁨@gatewayworship⁩ ) 15:40 Pastor Appreciation 18:36 Welcome 19:25 How Good Is He ( ⁨@VerticalWorship⁩ ) 26:30 Communion 33:17 Message - Partnership 37:32 1.

    Worship | Pastor Rick Wright | The Church at CW

    What does friendship with Jesus look like when following Him gets difficult? In Daniel 3, we see a powerful picture through three friends, feeling very real pressure. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were commanded to bow before an image, but they refused to compromise their worship. Their response was simple: “Our God whom we serve is able to deliver us,” but even if He didn’t, they would still remain faithful. That is what worship looks like. It's not just singing on Sunday morning. It is choosing God when the pressure is on. It is trusting Him when we don’t understand what He is doing. It is remaining faithful when obedience comes with a cost. Notice this: God didn’t keep them out of the fire. He met them in it. When we walk faithfully with Christ, we may still face the furnace, but we will never face it alone. Come be apart of worship this Sunday as we continue our series on Friendship. #thechurchatcw #liveworship #sermon #preaching #onlinechurch Chapters: 00:00 Glorious Day ( ⁨@passionmusic⁩ ) 04:45 I Speak Jesus ( ⁨@charitygaylemusic⁩ ) 12:15 Baptism 14:59 Goodness of God ( ⁨@BethelMusic⁩ ) 21:30 Encouragement & Welcome 25:57 Message - Worship 26:31 1.

    Falseship | Pastor Rick Wright | The Church at CW

    Not every person who calls themselves a friend has your best interests at heart. In the story of Judas, we look at how false friendship can hide sin behind a smile. Judas walked with Jesus, talked with Jesus, and looked like all of the other disciples, but underneath it all, greed and hypocrisy were growing. False friends can be like a smoke alarm with dead batteries. They may look like they are there to protect you, but when danger comes, they don’t warn you or even guide you. Judas appeared close to Jesus, yet when the moment came, he betrayed Him with a kiss for a few pieces of silver. This week, we'll see the reminder to be careful about who we allow to influence us. Although love and friendship should be the goal, wisdom and discernment should hold the reins. True friends help us move toward Christ, not away from Him.

    Hardship | Pastor Rick Wright | The Church at CW

    We all have people in our lives who are dealing with circumstances beyond our understanding. When someone we love is hurting, we often search for the right words or an explanation but sometimes the best thing we can do isn’t explain their pain - it’s to enter into their pain with them. Hardship is a part of life. Job discovered that pain can come unexpectedly, but difficult seasons also reveal what is really inside us. When life gets hard, our faith is tested and revealed. Job’s friends started well. They showed up, sat with him, and their presence brought comfort. But eventually, their assumptions about Job’s suffering turned comfort into condemnation. They tried to explain what they could not understand, and their words caused more pain. Graciously, Job’s story doesn’t end with hardship. God shows compassion and faithfulness as He rebukes Job’s friends and ultimately restored Job. We may not always have the answers, but we can always choose to be present. Be the friend who stays. Join us this week as we continue our series on Friendship by looking at Job and the topic of Hardship. #thechurchatcw #liveworship #sermon #preaching #onlinechurch  Chapters: 00:00 Welcome 00:28 This Is Our God ( ⁨@philwickham⁩ ) 04:37 Unto Him ( ⁨@ShaneAndShaneMusic⁩ ) 09:00 Encouragement and Scripture - Revelation 4 12:12 Throne Room Song ( ⁨@charitygaylemusic⁩ ) 21:02 Welcome Guest 24:04 Message - Hardship 26:50 1.
