Helmet of Hope with Dr. Ed Newton
God desires to not only save you but to sustain you, shape you, and see you live supernaturally in your setting for the purpose of leading other people to encounter the God who saved you.

Faith becomes activated or devastated in this life’s journey. What will you do, how will you respond when life gets tough on purpose because the enemy is trying to destroy you? Will you fight or will you fold?
There is deliberate irony in today’s message as we consider the message of peace in the midst of spiritual warfare, especially during this Christmas season. The gospel of peace enables us to wage war against the forces of evil not just effectively, but confidently.
My hope is that we would wake up to the truth that we have an enemy who is after the very source of our lives, and that this awareness would push us to take serious the fight for righteousness and push us to suit up for war.
A life based in truth is a life that is tethered to truth, thus allowing every thought, belief, action to be filtered and applied in what is good, honorable and right.
God does not promise to deliver us FROM Spiritual Warfare, but THROUGH Spiritual Warfare!
We must recognize that the enemy has been using the same three lies for centuries leading unto destruction. Today, we will expose them and equip you to live not only in awareness of them, but in effectiveness in debunking them.

Today’s message on the “elder brother” gives insight that we may be externally compliant in obedience, but internally defiant in disobedience. Thus, causing us to realize that we don’t work FOR acceptance from the Father, but we work FROM acceptance with the father.
It’s never too late to come back home! The steps to a new beginning require bravery and boldness in accepting fault, but choosing to advance forward…1…Step…at…a…Time..!
The prodigal spirit within us challenges daily the idea of whether or not the heavenly Father is able to fully satisfy your greatest longings. Today’s message exposes the lie that happiness is found away from the Father and will give hope to the fact it is never too late to come home.
Jonah is considered by many as fable, but because we believe it’s factual (Luke 11:30; Matthew 12:39-40) we are able to discover God’s faithfulness.
The book of Esther is critiqued by scholars because it never mentions God by title, but today we will discover not only the thumbprint of God is evident in this story, but yours as well.
Noah’s Ark is not just a story of a boat that floats, but a hope that boasts.
A bonus podcast taken fro the 1pm service: In seeking to define who is actually one’s neighbor reveals the underlying issue that we all face, which is to define the limits and the lines of how we love others. In Jesus, he crossed the line to realign how we see and serve all people.

WE AT CBC ARE CALLED—AS A CHURCH AND A PEOPLE—TO HELP LIFT PEOPLE FROM ALL THAT BLOCKS JESUS IN ORDER TO SEE JESUS!
For centuries persecuted Christians have taken comfort in the courage of Daniel. Today, we approach a familiar story of bravery and boldness that was forged when no one was watching thus preparing to stand strong when everyone was watching.
God desires to use our weakness, our faltering faith, our reluctant obedience and our availability more than He desires to use our strength, our talents, our confidence and our abilities.
The aim of a heart that follows God is to come to the place where God’s plan or His will becomes our primary pursuit. However, the tension usually lies in understanding what exactly God is asking us to do. Today’s message seeks to give clarity in how to TRUST GOD VS. TEST GOD.
THE CHECKLIST has become the gauge of whether or not we hit the target, thus causing us to place THE CHECKLIST into every sector of our lives, but there is one CHECKLIST missing from most of our lives and that is in our relationship with God. Today’s message will help us do exactly that!!!
We all have the tendency to believe the very best for everyone else around us, while often times failing to believe what we are actually telling other people. Therefore, what you may think is your personal limitation actually can become your prolific liberation!
Galatians 5:1 - For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.
As we wait, He works! Jesus as our kinsman redeemer fulfills the role as your deliverer not only today, but forevermore by pleading your case, defending your cause, and calling you His own.
Finding rest in the promises of God, and having faith to wait on them to come to pass is the tension of every follower of Jesus. We wait in the wonder of what if, feeling like time is running out, but instead we discover that God has been running ahead of us the entire time. Today’s message is a reminder that as we wait, God is working!
What if you were to step outside of the spaces that you currently reside and occupy only to discover that you have failed to do what you were called to do, and be what would you were called to be? Would you have the courage to reengage, the courage to redirect, and the courage to reclaim what God wanted to be said about the impact of your life?
To reduce our circumstances both positive and negative to a lucky break, bad luck, bad timing, fortune or fate, fails to take into consideration that the God that we serve is all powerful, all seeing and all knowing. Today’s message helps us see that He isn’t a distance God, but a detailed God who is working for your good and for His glory.
There is prodigal in all of us. The desire to know for ourselves what many have warned us against is the propensity within us all. Many have gone before us, warning us, steering us away from the distant country of regrets and remorse, but the draw is magnetic. Unfortunately, the only aspects that seem to adhere are the unfortunate mishaps and mistakes that label you and shame you. The story of Ruth is one of Return, Reconciliation, and Restoration.
The redundancy of a phrase like “dry ground” is a statement of the obvious. It is making a comparison of what once was, but now has changed. The beauty of a journey through the Jordan River was to eventually be standing on “dry ground”. A “dry ground” moment for us today is the commemoration of Memorial Day. In a day where it seems the coordinates of our country are lost; what’s not lost is the breathtaking beauty of freedom afforded by the many who have gone before us and paid the highest price...
