“Confess Your Sins to One Another,” James 5:13-16

How do we follow Jesus so closely that we look like him to the people who don’t yet believe in him? That’s the amazing thing that happened in Acts 4:13. It is not like looking in a room full of other believers and saying, “I see Jesus in you, in you and in you.” These...

“To Know God,” Colossians 1:9-18

This week we have a special treat to hear from one of our very own, Joanne DiLeo who is not just a great speaker, but she is also a tremendous friend who is willing to jump in with just a few days notice to share from the heart of God in this sermon, “To Know...

“Fellowship in Conflict,” Acts 2:42-47

Over the last 6 weeks we have talked together about “US”. Our conversation has not been about those of us just in the room or those of us in this church or in this community, but we’ve been talking about “US,” all of us, the body of Christ, his church, which is one body with...

“We Are Victorious,” Matthew 16:13-18

This series, “WE” is also our theme for this year. We’re trying to change our pronoun from they, them and me to we and us because WE are the body of Christ. As you go through the New Testament especially, and all the descriptions of the church, you will notice that they are always “we”...

“We Are Called to Go,” Matthew 28:18-20, John 16

This is week 5 in our 6 week series, “WE” as we try to better describe the church from a biblical perspective. So far we had the opportunity to talk about “We Are One Body,” “We Are Many Members.” “We Gather with Purpose,” and this beautiful reality that “We Eat to Remember.” This time we...

“We Eat in Remembrance,” John 16:25-33/ Exodus 11:7

We continue our series “We” with a focus on the why and not the how of the communion. We are not going to eat together tonight because it is important that we learn more, that we listen more, that we grab hold of more before we start trying to do. This is not a technical...

“We Are One Body,” 1 Corinthians 12

So you’re part of CORF. Whether you’ve been coming since the inception of the church or you’ve recently joined, or maybe thanks to COVID-19 you’re now a faithful follower of this church on different social media platforms available, I have a question for you, why CORF? Have you ever seriously consider this question? Why this...

“The Day After,” Luke 2:1-24

Have you ever wondered about the next day? The day after Christmas, like today, has a tendency to just sort of be the next day. Have you ever wondered about some of the famous next days? Like what happened the next day when Abraham left Ur heading toward Canaan, the land that God had promised...

“Jesus Is Here,” Luke 1:26-38

We cannot deny what this year has been and still continues to be. Pandemic, quarantine, in some countries actual lockdown, death that some try to argue is small in percentage points, but percentage points cannot comfort the grieving and they do not tell the story of how each loss affects us all. We have experienced...
