The mystery of the New CovenantThe New Covenant is far more than just the forgiveness of sins; it provides the power through Christ and the Holy Spirit to transform our hearts and achieve actual victory over sin.
True happiness comes from victory over sinTrue happiness and freedom from stress are found by hating iniquity, fighting for victory over sin, and taking up Christ's easy yoke.
Building the body of ChristGod brings diverse believers together into one body to transform our personal lives, our marriages, and our local churches from the inside out.
The true meaning of prophecyRather than predicting the future, the spiritual gift of prophecy is designed to edify, exhort, and encourage others in daily life.1 Corinthians 14:1–4
The balance of truth and graceThe gospel preached at CFC combines a strict standard of holiness and hatred for sin with a deep, loving revelation of God's grace.John 1:14
What is eternal life?Eternal life is not merely an afterlife in heaven, but the present reality of knowing the only true God and Jesus Christ intimately.
Counting everything as loss to know ChristTo truly know God means considering all earthly pursuits, money, and ambitions as rubbish compared to the surpassing value of gaining Christ.
God is our inheritanceJust as the Levites had no land inheritance in Israel because God was their portion, New Covenant believers are called to find their complete satisfaction in God alone.
Transformed into His likenessAs we behold the glory of the Lord, the Holy Spirit transforms us so that Christ becomes all and in all within our lives.2 Corinthians 3:18Colossians 3:10
The immeasurable love of GodOur biggest sin is often that we do not truly know how much God loves us, reducing His infinite love to human terms and giving in to unbelief.
The secret of Jesus's obedient lifeJesus never did His own will because He was completely confident in the Father's love, doing only what He saw the Father doing.John 5:19–20
Finding rest in the depths of God's loveJust as the ocean is calm and quiet beneath the stormy surface, plunging deep into the vast love of God brings profound rest to our souls amidst life's trials.
A freeing and easy life in ChristTrying to carry God's requirements while holding onto earthly ambitions makes the Christian life a heavy burden, but fully immersing ourselves in God's love makes His yoke light and easy.
