Have you ever wondered why God chose shepherds to be the first recipients of the glorious news concerning Jesus' birth? He didn't send Gabriel and the angel chorus to the priests, or the wise men, or the rulers. He chose the shepherds, even though they were despised by the orthodox Jews of the day. The nature of their tasks as shepherds kept them from keeping the details of the ceremonial law. The shepherds were considered the lowest of the common people. This Sunday we will see why God choose these Shepherds, and perhaps come to appreciate that God shows grace to those in humble circumstances.
Shepherds seized the moment

Standing at Practice
January 14, 2024 • Pastor Rick Wright • 1 Kings 17:1–7
In I Kings 17 we are introduced to Elijah, an unknown man headed to an unknown place sent by God to learn how to trust God in practice. Are you practicing trusting God on the drive, at the table, and in the quiet? Standing on the mountain and experiencing the glory of God begins by standing with God in the everyday. New here?

Stand on the Mountain
January 7, 2024 • Pastor Rick Wright • Luke 9:28–36, Matthew 17:1–13, Mark 9:1–9
2024 is here and this Sunday is VISION SUNDAY!! In a moment of great, purposeful clarity in 3 of the 4 gospels Jesus journeys with Peter, James, and John, to go and STAND on the MOUNTAIN. In this fascinating passage the disciples behold the brilliance of the glory of God as Jesus reveals His deity, and then out of nowhere, Elijah and Moses appear and speak to Jesus. In Moses's and Elijah's lifetime God revealed His glory and spoke on the mountain. Moses, Elijah, Peter, James, and John met with God on the mountain! In '24, CCW Let’s STAND on the MOUNTAIN!
Focus
December 31, 2023 • Pastor Dave Roper
This week we celebrate the last Sunday of 2023! New Year’s Eve! Next week starts a brand new year is Vision Sunday. Pastor Rick is going to communicate the vision he has for CCW for 2024. Before we do that, we are going to take a few minutes on New Year’s Eve to talk about focus. If you’re out of focus, the vision won’t mean that much to you.
