Pastors’ Desk

by Senior Pastor Roger Storms Many of you will remember the weekend last November we featured adoption and foster care. Several CCC families shared testimonies about their involvement with adoption and the impact it’s had on their lives. Larry Davis (one of CCC’s “Timothy’s,) and I shared God’s passion for children and Larry shared the [...]

by Senior Pastor Roger Storms WOW, God is doing marvelous things with our HIS Story study. His hand is moving in wonderful ways. Let me share some stories with you: First, as I mentioned in some of the services this weekend, I gave my wristband away! That’s right. I was in a store this week [...]

by Senior Pastor Roger Storms Well, last weekend we started out HIS Story with a BANG!  You outdid yourselves in enthusiasm –we had one of our largest numbers for attendance ever at 2,994! I’m so excited that you are going to “know Jesus like you’ve never known Him before” by the time our study ends!  [...]

by Senior Pastor Roger Storms This weekend we kick off what I believe could be the most significant spiritual event of your lives…HIS Story! There are a lot of important things to know in life…your social security number, your key “passwords,” your spouse’s birthday, and, oh yes, your anniversary!  But there is only ONE thing [...]

by Senior Pastor Roger Storms Every year most of us receive one or more Christmas presents. Unless you are bad, in which case you might receive coal in your stocking (who was the sadist who created that myth!)

Next, the tree went up and was decorated and presents began to gather under [...]

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays! Okay, yes, it features food…but it is much more than that. Over and over again in the Bible we are called to be a thankful people. Do a search, you’ll find verse after verse. We are to be thankful to God, thankful for everything…even our trials! Just look [...]

by Senior Pastor Roger Storms Do-Overs! Mulligans! New Beginnings! Depending on if you’re a kid playing tag, a golfer after a bad shot, or a person living in this world, these words can mean a lot.  They can make a difference between despair and hope!  They can be the difference between giving in or getting up [...]

Doom and gloom seem to be all over the news regarding the economy and market. It’s frustrating and pointing fingers doesn’t really make it different. So…how about a change of pace? GRAND OPENING and WEEKEND WORSHIP @ THE BRIDGE! This weekend, we will have SIX celebration and dedication services for the Bridge! That’s right, SIX! Each service will be held in [...]

This week we will resume our study of The Story. We will look at Chapter 23 where Jesus begins His ministry. I hope you will keep up with your reading and study in your Life Groups and family devotions. God will richly bless your efforts and lives as a result. Summer time is tough in Arizona. [...]
