Church guide

Evil, pain, death, and darkness are everywhere--in the world, and even in the human heart. There's a lot of brokenness. But what if the brokenness could be restored? What if the darkness could be pierced by light? There is a solution to it all. His name is Jesus, and we'd love to tell you more. His love and light conquered everything that plagues us. What are some areas where you need to experience this light? -- Video produced by Elevation Church and made availalbe by Life.Church Open Network

Religious conversations have the power to change lives. But Christians today are losing their voice. A recent Barna survey indicates that it’s getting harder than ever to talk about God. Why is this, and what can we do about it? To answer these questions, Pastor Dave turns to the Romans text for Pentecost Sunday.

It’s easy to ask God, “Why me?" "Why did you place this burden on me?" "Why did you give me this scar?" "Why do I have to look this certain way?" "Why do I have to be different from everyone else?” Lindsey was born with a unique birthmark that required specialized medical attention. The resulting surgery left her with facial scars that altered her appearance for life. Though she grew up looking different than others, Lindsey's scars no longer define her. This is her story.

Democracy disrupted monarchy, the automobile disrupted horse breeders, email disrupted the Postal Service and personal computers put typewriter companies out of business. When Paul and Silas arrived in Philippi, they had information that turned the town upside down — and so do you!

This Sunday at CVBC we will take time to honor our military and civil service first responders that maintain our freedom. These veterans will be given an opportunity to share their testimony, if they choose. Family members of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice may speak on their behalf.

So much of our life is subjected to the worry of another task, another job, or another need. We’ve forgotten that there’s a peace available that goes beyond all understanding. -- Video created by Elevation Church and provided by Life.Church Open Network

Some first responders are not professionals but bystanders — even kids. A new program called “Stop the Bleed” is teaching children, some of whom have experienced trauma, how to stop bleeding. As a part of their training, they are given “bleed kits.” This Sunday, Pastor Dave uses the story of Paul's Macedonian call as an illustration that we are often the first responders to someone's spiritual bleeding. Got your kit ready?

Here's my view...

Love. Have we seen it's fullest form? I have heard a story Ancient words, retold. Of a man, the face of Love Who chose death instead of thrones. -- This poetic Easter video was produced by the CV Australia 🇦🇺 and CV UK 🇬🇧 teams!

With such attention to what separates and what divides us in our culture today, it's good to be reminded "What Brings Us Together." Communion will also be observed this Sunday.

Have you ever wondered, "What is prayer?" Watch this video to find out what prayer is at its essence.

Of the hundreds of prisoners who’ve been exonerated on the basis of DNA evidence since the Innocence Project began its work, almost 75 percent were originally convicted on the basis of eyewitness testimony. No surprise that Thomas, the intellectual among the disciples, refused to accept eyewitness testimony — unless it was his own. This Sunday Pastor Dave shows us that Jesus’ resurrection is not so much an event to look at as one to look through.

Mary Magdalene was one of the eyewitnesses of the resurrection. She was the last one at the cross and the first one at the tomb. She had to answer three Easter questions that day. Pastor Dave asks us the same three questions today and we must answer them.

Has life gotten in the way of what's most important? Maybe it's time to start afresh, return to love, and come back home. This story is inspired by a story Jesus told in Luke 15:11-32

Amidst everything going on in the world, how does anyone have hope? The intersting thing is that this is something God has seen since the beginning, and He has a solution that offeres real hope. Video made possible by CV Outreach.
