As promised, I’m going to answer the questions that we didn’t feel appropriate for the current sermon series starting today (and each Friday in August as well, so stay tuned). Should be fun…here goes:
Q: Can I smoke & sing in the choir?
A: Well, sure – but why would you want to?  For some reason, this [...]

Fellowship….now there’s a word that you don’t hear used a lot anymore, even in some church circles.  But it is a good Bible word, as in Acts 2:42.  Interestingly enough, the Greek word for fellowship there is koinonia, which implies much more than just “grabbing a bite to eat together”. The Greek meaning speaks of [...]

I suppose I could have done a post here myself, ‘borrowing’ his thoughts, and probably no one would have known the difference except me.  But I’d rather give credit to Pastor Mark Beeson from Granger Community Church.  His post yesterday really struck a nerve with me, and I think you’ll benefit, too.  Click here and [...]

A couple more reports from this past Sunday at CLC:

the impact from the video testimonies of those two brave ladies is ongoing….I’m still getting reports of people being impacted, PLUS we’ve had folks stepping up with a desire to help others, and I really believe we’ll be able to offer a recovery group this Fall [...]

Some have asked, and we aim to please, so here is the video that we used yesterday in all CLC services at all 3 campuses.  I’m still getting reports of people being helped & healed, so may it go viral!

Still getting reports on people who were helped by yesterday’s service…..so thankful for the LOVE of God that filled each of our campuses after the video presentation from two courageous ladies! 
Just thought I’d pass along what I had prepared for you yesterday but didn’t use:

 
You’ve enjoyed his music (maybe without knowing who wrote the songs) [...]

I used to get so depressed every summer, with the drop in attendance, lack of momentum, etc. – but NOT this year!  Today was another great day at CLC:

attendance near 1,500 again today….can’t wait until vacations are over and we move to another level!
Pastors Doug & Shanna reported a sad tragedy at our South Bend [...]

Can a message in church make a difference in someone’s life?
Can a sermon series get our attention and help us focus on important issues?
Can the hurts of the past be forgiven in a moment of time?
Can the road to healing and recovery begin with one song or one message or one service?
I believe the [...]

I apologize in advance for a marathon post, but since we plan to answer your “Got Questions?” submissions that are not used in the sermon series (which begins this Sunday at each CLC campus), I’ve got to clear the deck of some backlogged questions submitted prior to the announcement of the new series…here goes:
1.  Does [...]

I’m sure you’ve heard of him…or at least heard his songs, even if you didn’t know who wrote them.
His story really fits the opening message of our “Got Questions?” series which kicks-off this Sunday at all 3 CLC Campuses.
But I mainly wanted to tell you that it’s NOT TOO LATE to get your ticket for Thursday [...]
