At the end of one year and the beginning of another some people stop and examine their life. Today we are going to do just that as we take a life rest stop.

This morning we will look at some of the areas of our life we may need to tend to before we launch out onto the road of life.

Oneanotherness? Is that even a word? Not exactly, but it is an idea. An idea that the early church used to make a dynamic difference in the world.

What are your family’s secrets? No, not the bad ones. The good ones. What are the secrets that make your family a success? There is a lot to be learned from successful families; including the family of God.

Today we will start exploring the original, first family of God and examine the secrets to their success.

Have you ever asked, "What is God waiting for?" Well, maybe a better question is, "who is God waiting for?" Today we will cover two spiritual laws that may shed some light on why God isn’t moving and doing like you think He should be.

"Keep moving forward." Good advice. Every great journey starts with a single step. This year God is challenging us all to take new steps of faith toward the great destiny he has for us.

The path is already there… the question is; will you get out of the boat?

Work, hobbies, sports, academics, fitness... people are committed to all kinds of things these days. But how committed are these things to them? Are they really reaping the benefits equal to the time and effort they put in?

What are you committed to? What are the things that take up you time and energy? Is it really worth it? What’s worth being committing to?

."But God…" Those two little words represent incredibly transforming power that is available to all of us.

We all want the best life possible. But are we living the good life? Was 2007 the best year yet or is there better to come? What’s the secret to making the rest of our life the best of our life?

There is a place in life where God is blessing, God is moving, and where God moments are happening. Yet in this life it often seems like we are running from place to place with never enough time to get everything done. Sound familiar?

So how do we get from here to the sweet spot? Today we will take a look at the bridge that leads us to the Sweet Spot.

Have you ever been called a "loser?" The world’s view of a loser and God’s view of a loser differ greatly.

Today we will explore what it means to be a loser and how being a loser actually causes us to be a winner.

Every single Christian has a "God Story"; the testimony of the transformation that God has brought in your life.

We all enjoy the new life that God has given us but did you know that it is a god-given obligation to share our stories with others? If God has really done a great work in us, shouldn’t we want to share that with others?

If no one has told you thank you lately; thank you! Thank you for being a part of CFC and making a difference!

Do we always feel thankful? Honestly, the answer is probably, "no." Do we sometimes make excuses why we don’t need to be thankful? Maybe things aren’t going your way, maybe you’ve overlooked your many blessings, maybe you need to rethink how blessed you really are.

This morning we are going to look at the excuses we often use for why we aren’t thankful and learn how we can say from our heart, "thanks for giving, everything!"

We all have a very real adversary that is playing a very real game to destroy our lives and win our souls. This is a game you can’t afford to lose!

Two is better than one and three is better than two; you get the idea. We are able to do more as a team than as individuals.

Today we are going to take a look at the story of Nehemiah and learn the key ingredients to building a great team.
