“Devoted to God’s Word,” Acts 2:42-47
In this week’s sermon, Joanne DiLeo makes an attempt in a practical way to put together a couple of pieces of things we’ve actually been talking about for years. She reminds us of what the Scriptures are all about and what it means to be “Devoted to God’s Word.” “They devoted themselves to the apostles’...

You’ve heard it numerous times, and I can assure you that to the extent God allows you to be part of City of Refuge Fellowship (CORF), you will continue to hear the following statement, that as the church of Christ we have a calling to devote ourselves to these three things outlined in Acts 2:42:...

“We Rest,” Hebrews 4:1-16
One of the major issues we have in the church today is not apathy, it is work. There is a lack of rest in the body of Christ. There is a desire to always be working for God. In this week’s sermon, “We Rest,” our worship pastor Melissa Kulynych shares with us what the Lord...

“Sound Doctrine,” Titus 1:1-3

We have specifically talked about the calling of the church from Acts 2:42, to be devoted to the apostles’ teaching, to the fellowship and to prayer. Or as we have started to describe it, being devoted to God’s word, God’s people and God’s presence. This year...

“Self-control,” Titus 2:11-14
During the past three months we talked about the spiritual aspects of being the church. Jesus has connected us to himself and to each other, but tonight we start a little bit of a different path. What does that connection look like? How do we live it out practically? How do we unite rather than...

“The Kingdom of God,” Mark 1: 14-15
In this week’s sermon, Pastor Abie Kulynych talks about a topic that’s really important as we continue with our theme of “WE,” and try to move away from “me,” “you,” “they” and “them,” so we can move in “we” and “our” to really understand what it means to be joined to each other knowing that...
