Study Questions will be posted on Sunday afternoon.

The Greatest "Greats"
The Great Confession (Romans 10:9)
The Great Commandment (Matthew 22:36-40)
The Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20)
The Great Confidence (Titus 2:13)

Titus 2:12b-13
We should live in this evil world with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God, 13 while we look forward with hope to that wonderful day when the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will be revealed.

With lives transformed by great faith and hope, our daily "doing" for others is sourced in love.

Titus 2:14
He gave his life to free us from every kind of sin, to cleanse us, and to make us his very own people, totally committed to doing good deeds.

Ephesians 2:10
For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

Matthew 25:31-36
31 “But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit upon his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered in his presence, and he will separate the people as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will place the sheep at his right hand and the goats at his left. 34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. 36 I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’”

We are saved by grace through faith alone -- but the faith that saves is never alone.

Acts 2:42-47
42 All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper), and to prayer. 43 A deep sense of awe came over them all, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders. 44 And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. 45 They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. 46 They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity— 47 all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.

The coming of the Holy Spirit empowered a selfless community to experience and serve the presence of Christ in one another.

Matthew 25:37-40
37 “Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? 39 When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40 “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’"

Matthew 10:42
"And if you give even a cup of cold water to one of the least of my followers, you will surely be rewarded.”

Galatians 6:8-10
8 Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit. 9 So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up. 10 Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone—especially to those in the family of faith.

Where am I doing for one in response to all that the One has done for me?

Dear Church Family,
 This past Sunday, Pastor Dale shared the vision for Go With One — our goal to see 500 members step into dedicated support teams for our missionaries.
 
The heart of this is simple: every one of our global staff members and partners should be sustained by a community of at least 30 supporters. Whether you have been at CFC for decades or are brand new, this is an invitation into a true gospel partnership driven by our church family!
 
How it Works
Becoming a support team member involves 3 simple efforts:
 
Pick One: Choose a missionary to champion and sign up so they know you’re with them.
Pray One: Pray for your selected missionary at least weekly. (You can use the Power Connection for specific updates.) It has been said that prayer may be the most neglected evangelistic activity in any church, and there is some truth to that. That is one reason why we connect to the power of God through prayer (Matthew 9:38). 
Give One: Consider a recurring financial gift (even $5–$10/month) above and beyond your regular CFC giving. 100% of your gift goes directly to the missionary. You can give through CFC or directly to their sending agency.
 
Ready to Start?
TEXT "GO" TO 812-867-6464 or visit onlinecfc.com/gowithone to select your "One." Once you sign up, your team captain will reach out to welcome you and keep you updated throughout the year.
 
Already a Supporter? We know that many of you are already supporting missionaries and may have been for many years. We praise God for that! 
Although this is primarily an opportunity for those who have not yet been able to partner with God’s heart for the nations in this capacity, if you already support a CFC missionary (even if giving directly to their agency), please still use the link above to let us know. There is an option to specify this. This ensures you are officially included in the support team updates and events!
 
Why This Matters
In 3 John, we are reminded that when we care for those sent out for the gospel, we become "partners as they teach the truth." By joining a team, you are providing the stability our partners need to navigate what Cheryl Beckett used to call the "expected unexpecteds" of the mission field.
 
Let’s carry on the legacy of those who have gone before us and sustain those who are sent out today!
 
We look forward to worshiping with you this Sunday!

Stay up to date with what's happening at CFC by reading the eBulletin each week.

Power for Doing by Pastor Dale Beaver
Read Acts 2:1-4, 38-41 and 3 John 1:5-8.

1. Pastor Dale shares a historical story about Andrew Fuller, who used the metaphor of a "gold mine" to describe the spiritual darkness and the vast need for the gospel in India in the 1790s. He asked, "Who will venture to explore it?" If we view the "gold mine" as the thousands of people who have never heard about Jesus, how does that change your perspective on the value of global missions?
2. Historically, Pentecost was a Jewish celebration of the giving of the law at Mount Sinai and the harvest of the earth's first fruits. Pastor Dale explains that God sent the Holy Spirit on this specific day to show that Jesus is the fulfillment of both the law and the final spiritual harvest. Why is it significant for our faith to see God working through an intentional, historical timetable?
3. At Mount Sinai, when the law was given, the people stood at a distance in terror; at Pentecost, the Spirit came close and settled directly on each person. Pastor Dale notes that while the law points out our sin and can lead to judgment, the Holy Spirit provides the courage and power to live righteously. How have you experienced the difference between trying to "follow rules" out of fear versus being empowered by God’s Spirit?
4. The notes highlight that the Holy Spirit "settled on each of them," making every believer—not just special prophets or leaders—a living temple. Pastor Dale teaches that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead now resides in you for the purpose of reaching others. How does this truth impact your sense of personal significance and your ability to serve God?
5. Read Acts 2:38-39. The promise of the Holy Spirit is for you, your children, and "those far away". Pastor Dale defines "far away" as distances that are spatial (geographical), ethnic (cultural), and generational (time). Which of these "distances" do you find most difficult to bridge in your own life or community?
6. The sermon explains that the Holy Spirit bridges distances through subcultures—groups of people united by common interests. Pastor Dale shares how his own background in mechanics and racing allowed him to reach people who "had no idea what Easter was". What unique interests, hobbies, or skills do you have that could serve as a bridge to share God's love with people who don't know Him?
7. Read 3 John 1:5-8. John describes those who support traveling teachers as "partners" or "fellow workers" (sun-ergoy). Pastor Dale emphasizes that your support is not a "financial transaction" but a theological connection where you are spiritually "with" the missionary in their work. How does this redefine your understanding of what it means to support a mission financially or through prayer?
8. When missionary William Carey agreed to go to India, he told Andrew Fuller, "I will go down if you will hold the rope". Fuller "held the rope" for 21 years by raising funds, writing letters, and keeping the network alive while staying in England. In the "diving operation" of missions, do you feel more called to be the one "in the water" or the one "holding the line" on the surface? Why?
9. Pastor Dale reflects on the founding vision of CFC, noting that, the "heartbeat" of the church remains focused on global outreach. How does being part of a community with a long-term commitment to reaching the world encourage your own walk with Christ?
10. The church is launching an initiative to "do for one what you can't do for everyone" by encouraging every person to specifically stand with one of our global missionaries or partners. Who is one person or global region (like India, Bolivia, or Central Asia) that the Spirit might be prompting you to support?
11. Close in Prayer: Thank God for the gift of the Holy Spirit who makes us "living temples". Ask the Father for the courage to be a partner in His work, whether by going or by faithfully "holding the rope" for those who do.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Analogy for Understanding: Supporting a missionary is like being a support crew for a deep-sea diver. The diver can only explore the "gold mine" of the ocean floor if they are connected to a team on the surface that provides oxygen, communication, and safety. Whether you are the one in the water or the one on the deck, you are equally essential to the success of the mission, as you are both powered by the same life-sustaining connection.

The Holy Spirit gives us power not just to go, but to stand with those who go. He calls some to cross the world. How will you go with them?

Acts 2:1-4
On the day of Pentecost all the believers were meeting together in one place. 2 Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting. 3 Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them. 4 And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability.

The Old Covenant bursts into the New at Pentecost!

On the very day Israel celebrated the harvest of the earth and the giving of the law, God gathered the nations to Jerusalem to experience a new harvest, a new covenant, and a new provision of the Holy Spirit.

Acts 2:38-41
38 Peter replied, “Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 This promise is to you, to your children, and to those far away—all who have been called by the Lord our God.” 40 Then Peter continued preaching for a long time, strongly urging all his listeners, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation!” 41 Those who believed what Peter said were baptized and added to the church that day—about 3,000 in all.

"Those far away" (2:39) -- some have left everything to reach them.

"Those far away" extends spatially, ethnically, and generationally — as far as the gospel goes, the Spirit goes.
-John Stott

Acts 2:41
Those who believed what Peter said were baptized and added to the church that day—about 3,000 in all.

Going with one, we bring the gospel promise to all peoples.

3 John 1: 5, 8
5 Dear friend, you are being faithful to God when you care for the traveling teachers who pass through, even though they are strangers to you... 8 So we ourselves should support them so that we can be their partners as they teach the truth.

If I am going to hang off the end of a rope at the other end of the world — will you hold the rope for me?
-William Carey

Good morning, CFC family!
 
I'm sure you have seen lots of graduation pictures, and commencements and graduation parties are happening around town. We want to take a moment to celebrate and honor the graduates in the CFC family. Whether graduating from high school or college or finishing a graduate-level degree program, this milestone represents years of hard work, growth, and God’s faithfulness throughout every season.
 
Scripture reminds us in Proverbs 3:5-6 to “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” As our graduates step into new opportunities and responsibilities, our prayer is that they would continue to seek the Lord first and walk in wisdom, humility, and bold faith wherever He leads them.
 
To our high school graduates: we are incredibly proud of you and excited for what God has ahead! As you begin this next chapter, we would love for you to stay connected through our college-aged ministry — a place where you can continue to grow spiritually, build meaningful friendships, and remain rooted in Christ during these formative years. Whether you are continuing your education in college, entering the military, or going into the workforce, we want you to join us to grow in your walk with Christ.
 
To our college graduates: congratulations on this tremendous accomplishment! As you transition into careers, graduate-level degrees, or marriage, we want to encourage you to get plugged in with our Young Adult Ministry. We believe biblical community remains essential in every stage of life, and we would love to walk alongside you in this next season.

Acts 1:8-11
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” 9 After saying this, he was taken up into a cloud while they were watching, and they could no longer see him. 10 As they strained to see him rising into heaven, two white-robed men suddenly stood among them. 11 "Men of Galilee," they said, "why are you standing here staring into heaven? Jesus has been taken from you into heaven, but someday he will return from heaven in the same way you saw him go!"

The ascension is not the end of Jesus' earthly ministry — it continues through His church.

John 16:7
"But in fact, it is best for you that I go away, because if I don't, the Advocate won't come. If I do go away, then I will send him to you."

Acts 2:33
"Now he is exalted to the place of highest honor in heaven, at God's right hand. And the Father, as he had promised, gave him the Holy Spirit to pour out upon us, just as you see and hear today."

The ascended Jesus sends the Holy Spirit to the church.

Ephesians 4:11-13
11 Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. 12 Their responsibility is to equip God's people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ. 13 This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God's Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ.

The ascended Christ endows the church with spiritual gifts to accomplish His commission to make disciples.

Up and Out by Pastor Dale Beaver
Read Acts 1:8-11; Luke 24:44-53; John 16:7; and Ephesians 4:11-13.

1. Pastor Dale refers to the ascension as the "forgotten act of God", noting that we celebrate Christmas and Easter but often skip the day Jesus returned to heaven. Why do you think the ascension is often treated as just a "transition slide" rather than a major event in its own right?
2. Read Luke 24:44-45. Jesus "opened their minds" to understand that the entire Old Testament—the Law, Prophets, and Psalms—was fulfilled in Him. Can you share a time when the Holy Spirit "pulled back the curtain" on a specific scripture and made it suddenly clear or relevant to your life?
3. The Theological Hinge. The sermon describes the ascension as the "dispensational lynchpin" that moves ministry from Christ’s physical presence to the work of the church. How does it change your sense of purpose to realize that Jesus’ earthly ministry didn’t end; it simply continues through you?
4. Read Acts 1:10-11. The angels told the disciples that Jesus would return "in the same way" they saw Him go—bodily and visibly. Why is it significant to our hope that Jesus did not "shed His humanity" on the way up, but remains fully God and fully man in heaven?
5. Read John 16:7. Jesus told His disciples it was "best" for Him to go away so that the Advocate (the Holy Spirit) would come. Discuss the practical advantage of having the Holy Spirit living inside every believer globally, rather than having Jesus limited to one physical location on earth.
6. The Courtroom of Heaven. Pastor Dale describes heaven as the "control room" where Jesus serves as our Great High Priest and defense attorney against the "accuser". How does this reality provide security when you feel weighed down by guilt or spiritual accusations?
7. Read Ephesians 4:11-12. In the New Testament, the "gifts" Christ gives to the church are actually people (apostles, pastors, teachers). Pastor Dale illustrates this with "Miss Bonnie," a long-time children's ministry worker. Who is a "gifted person" in your life who has helped "mend" or equip you for your own walk with God?
8. The word "equip" in Ephesians 4:12 comes from a Greek word used for mending fishing nets. In what area of your life is the Holy Spirit currently "mending" you—restoring you to a place of functionality so you can serve the purpose for which you were created?
9. Surrender vs. Amount. Pastor Dale clarifies that you don't need more of the Holy Spirit; you already have the fullness of Him. The difference between a "mature" believer and a struggling one is often just the level of surrender. What is one area of your life you find difficult to surrender to the Spirit’s leading?
10. The Redirected Gaze. The angels asked, "Why are you standing here staring into heaven?" as a redirection toward the mission. How can we balance "looking up" in hope of Jesus' return with "looking out" to see the neighbors God has called us to serve?
11. Do for One. Even if your sphere of influence seems small compared to a world of "noise" and "need," you are empowered by the Spirit to touch the person directly in front of you. Who is the "one" person you can encourage or thank this week for their influence in your life?
12. Close in Prayer: Thank Jesus for His ongoing work as our High Priest in heaven. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you live a surrendered life this week, moving you from "staring" to "serving" in the power He has already provided.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Analogy for Understanding: The ascension is like the transition from a specialized medical specialist treating a single patient to that specialist training and empowering a global network of doctors. While Jesus was on earth, His physical presence was limited to one town at a time. Through the ascension and the sending of the Holy Spirit, He has "distributed" His power through the church, allowing His healing and message to reach every "Judea, Samaria, and end of the earth" simultaneously.

May is Foster Care Awareness Month. As a church family, during this month of May, we want to take time to recognize the incredible need that exists for loving homes and caring support for children in our community.

While it may be hard for us to comprehend, there are many children and families who are walking through incredibly difficult seasons right now. They need hope, encouragement, and people willing to step in and make a difference. Whether through fostering, adoption, respite care, or simply supporting foster families, everyone can find their fit and play a part in caring for kids and families in need.

This Sunday, we will have tables in the foyer where you can learn more about foster care opportunities, local organizations who support foster kids and families, and practical ways to get involved.

We encourage you to stop by, ask questions, and prayerfully consider how God may be calling you or your family to respond.

"Moral worth; virtue" (Proverbs 31:10) חַיִל

Proverbs 31:25-28
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity,
   and she laughs without fear of the future.
26 When she speaks, her words are wise,
   and she gives instructions with kindness.
27 She carefully watches everything in her household
   and suffers nothing from laziness.
28 Her children stand and bless her.
   Her husband praises her.

For most of us, she was the first to "do for one." Often enough, she still does.

She Does
She knows who she is and Whose she is. (31:25a)

Psalm 93:1
The LORD is king! He is robed in majesty.
   Indeed, the LORD is robed in majesty and armed with strength.
The world stands firm
   and cannot be shaken.

She Does

• She knows who she is and Whose she is. (31:25a)
• She knows the One who holds the future. (31:25b)
• Her words have weight because her life has roots. (31:26)

2 Timothy 1:1-5
1 This letter is from Paul, chosen by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus. I have been sent out to tell others about the life he has promised through faith in Christ Jesus. 2 I am writing to Timothy, my dear son. May God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord give you grace, mercy, and peace. 3 Timothy, I thank God for you—the God I serve with a clear conscience, just as my ancestors did. Night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers. 4 I long to see you again, for I remember your tears as we parted. And I will be filled with joy when we are together again. 5 I remember your genuine faith, for you share the faith that first filled your grandmother Lois and your mother, Eunice. And I know that same faith continues strong in you.

She Does

• She knows who she is and Whose she is. (31:25a)
• She knows the One who holds the future. (31:25b)
• Her words have weight because her life has roots. (31:26)
• She prioritizes her insights on family needs. (31:27)
• She knows a life of loving service isn't a thankless job. (31:28)

She Does by Pastor Dale Beaver
Read Proverbs 31:10, 25-28; Psalm 93:1; and 2 Timothy 1:1-5.

1. Pastor Dale connects the theme of Mother’s Day to the ongoing series "Do for One," noting that for many of us, a mother was the first to "do for one" and often still does. How have you seen the "nurturing aspect" of God’s love reflected through a mother figure, whether biological, adoptive, or a spiritual mentor?
2. Read Proverbs 31:10. The word for "virtuous" or "capable" is the Hebrew word chayil (חַיִל), which speaks to moral worth and character. Pastor Dale describes this as an "interior compass" fashioned by the will of God. Why is a person's character more precious than "rubies" or external achievements?
3. Read Proverbs 31:25a and Psalm 93:1. This woman is "clothed with strength (oz) and dignity". Pastor Dale clarifies that her strength is not equal to God’s, but is sourced in God’s strength, much like a king’s daughter is robed in the resources of her father. How does knowing you are "clothed" in God’s strength change the way you face your daily responsibilities?
4. Read Proverbs 31:25b. To "laugh without fear of the future" does not mean being in denial or "faking fine". Rather, it is a rational, objective faith in the One who holds the future. What is a specific fear about the future that you need to surrender to the "One who holds you"?
5. The Power of a Song. Pastor Dale reflects on hearing his mother and grandmother sing songs of hope that "reverberated from a heart that was grounded" through life’s disappointments. How can the authenticity of a lived-out faith provide more comfort to others than just "talking to hear ourselves talk"?
6. Read Proverbs 31:26. This woman’s words have "weight" because her life has "roots". She speaks with authority and tenderness. In your own speech, do you find it harder to speak with authority (truth) or with tenderness (kindness)?
7. Read 2 Timothy 1:1-5. Paul credits Timothy’s "genuine faith" to the influence of his grandmother Lois and mother Eunice. Pastor Dale notes that this isn't a footnote, but a "major thread" in Timothy’s life. Who are the people who lived an authentic faith in front of you, even if they weren't perfect?
8. Success vs. Identity. Pastor Dale challenges young women to recognize that while the world offers many opportunities defined by "performance-based" success, nothing matters as much as knowing Jesus and becoming a voice of wisdom. How can you prioritize your character as a "daughter of the King" over the accolades of the world?
9. Read Proverbs 31:27. A mother often has a "God-given radar" for trouble, carefully watching her household like an air traffic controller. How can you better prioritize the needs of those closest to you this week by "carefully watching" for ways to serve them?
10. Read Proverbs 31:28. While a life of loving service can feel exhausting or overwhelmed, it is not a thankless job. Why is it "inexcusable" for us to be careless with our gratitude toward those who serve us so effortlessly?
11. Close in Prayer: Thank God for the women of influence He has placed in your life. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you "neighbor" those in your circle with the same strength, dignity, and wise kindness modeled in this text.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Analogy for Understanding: Relying on the world's definition of success is like wearing a temporary costume that eventually fades and wears out; it only lasts as long as your last performance. However, a life rooted in Christ is like being clothed in a royal robe provided by the King; it offers a dignity and strength (oz) that isn't dependent on your own abilities, but on the resource of belonging to God’s family.

Culture claims to know about Jesus, but many people are in the dark about who He really is. Some might see Jesus as just a person from history or a good man or a good teacher, but He is much more than any of that! This summer, VBS will shine a light on the truth of who Jesus really is. Like the disciples, our kids will be challenged to answer Jesus’s question, “Who do you say that I am?” They will discover it’s not a matter of opinion; Jesus is who Scripture says He is — the perfect, proven, and powerful Son of God.

Two-thirds of church-attending children disengage with church after high school, many because they don't feel connected. VBS is a great connection point, both for the kids and for those serving. We'd love for you to come connect with the kids, connect with God, and help the kids connect with God and each other, as we all deepen our understanding of who Jesus is.

You can sign your kids up, sign up to serve (VBS takes a village) or see the list of items to donate  for snacks and crafts. HERE.

As always, we can't wait to worship with you Sunday!

Wow! We are thanking the Lord for the testimonies of those who were baptized last Sunday. It was such an encouragement to see so many make a public declaration of their faith in Jesus. For those of us who witnessed these baptisms, it was a reminder not only of God's grace, but also of the forgiveness and new life available through Jesus — and ONLY through JESUS. 
 
Our prayer for you is that these baptisms and testimonies reignited the passion and commitment you have for Jesus and reinvigorated your walk with Him. If you haven’t yet been baptized since professing your faith in Jesus as your Savior, the next baptisms will be later this summer at Burdette Park. You can take the online classes to prepare now HERE.
 
CFC, if you didn’t see the baptism testimonies at the 9:15 and 10:45 services on April 26, you can watch them below. Prepare to be blessed! Just remember that each video you watch represents the ongoing work of God in the world – proof that lives are still being changed and that the mission of the Church is alive!
 
We can't wait to worship our great God – who is changing lives here and around the world – with you this Sunday!
 
Watch 9:15 baptisms HERE

John 16:5-9
5 “But now I am going away to the one who sent me, and not one of you is asking where I am going. 6 Instead, you grieve because of what I’ve told you. 7 But in fact, it is best for you that I go away, because if I don’t, the Advocate won’t come. If I do go away, then I will send him to you. 8 And when he comes, he will convict the world of its sin, and of God’s righteousness, and of the coming judgment. 9 The world’s sin is that it refuses to believe in me.

Luke 10:25-29
25 One day an expert in religious law stood up to test Jesus by asking him this question: “Teacher, what should I do to inherit eternal life?”
26 Jesus replied, “What does the law of Moses say? How do you read it?”
27 The man answered, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.’ And, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”
28 “Right!” Jesus told him. “Do this and you will live!”
29 The man wanted to justify his actions, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

To love God is to pursue his glory passionately; to love your neighbor is to compassionately and righteously respond for their good.

Who qualifies as your neighbor?

In Jewish understanding at the time of Jesus, “neighbor” was:

• A fellow Israelite
• Someone within the covenant community
• Sometimes extended to “a friend” or “associate”

Luke 10:30-32
30 Jesus replied with a story: “A Jewish man was traveling from Jerusalem down to Jericho, and he was attacked by bandits. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him up, and left him half dead beside the road.
31 “By chance a priest came along. But when he saw the man lying there, he crossed to the other side of the road and passed him by.32 A Temple assistant walked over and looked at him lying there, but he also passed by on the other side.

Luke 10:33-35
33 “Then a despised Samaritan came along, and when he saw the man, he felt compassion for him. 34 Going over to him, the Samaritan soothed his wounds with olive oil and wine and bandaged them. Then he put the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn, where he took care of him. 35 The next day he handed the innkeeper two silver coins, telling him, ‘Take care of this man. If his bill runs higher than this, I’ll pay you the next time I’m here.’

Luke 10:36-37
36 “Now which of these three would you say was a neighbor to the man who was attacked by bandits?” Jesus asked.
37 The man replied, “The one who showed him mercy.”
Then Jesus said, “Yes, now go and do the same.”

What does it mean to “neighbor?”

How does this parable confront our modern justifications?

Go and Do for One by Pastor Dale Beaver
Read Luke 10:25-37; John 16:5-9; and Matthew 25:40.

1. Pastor Dale opens with a story about a retired farmer who drove slowly to survey the fields, noting that “because you’re a farmer, you see farms.”. How does your current "identity" (your career, hobbies, or passions) shape what you notice—or what you ignore—as you move through your daily routine?
2. Read John 16:5-9. Jesus told His disciples it was best for Him to go away so the Advocate (the Holy Spirit) would come to convict the world and empower the church. How does it change your view of your weekly activities to realize you are a citizen of His kingdom, currently “passing through with purpose” under the leadership of the Spirit?.
3. Read Luke 10:25-28. A religious expert asked Jesus what he must "do" to inherit eternal life, yet Pastor Dale notes that an inheritance is usually about who you belong to rather than what you earn. Why are we so often tempted to try to be “worthy” of God’s grace through our own performance?
4. Jesus affirms that the Law is summarized by loving God with all your heart, soul, strength, and mind, and loving your neighbor as yourself. Why is it impossible to truly have one of these loves without the other?
5. Defining Love. The sermon defines loving your neighbor as a “compassionate, righteous, and responsible” response for their good. How does adding the words "righteous" and "responsible" challenge the modern idea that love should always just "make me feel good"?
6. Read Luke 10:29. The expert in the law asked, “And who is my neighbor?” because he was looking for a “loophole of exemption” to determine who was undeserving of his love. In what ways do we still try to narrow the definition of "neighbor" to only include people who are like us or convenient for us?
7. The Parable Breakdown. Read Luke 10:30-32. Both the priest and the temple assistant (Levite) saw the wounded man but crossed to the other side. What are some of the "modern justifications" (being in a hurry, fear of "defilement," or assuming someone got what they deserved) that cause us to pass by those in need?
8. The Despised Hero. Read Luke 10:33-35. A Samaritan—someone the Jewish audience would have despised—became the one who felt compassion and sacrificed his own clothes, donkey, time, and money to provide care. Can you share a time when you had to receive help from someone you previously looked down upon or considered an "enemy"?
9. Verb vs. Noun. Jesus shifted the focus from "Who qualifies as my neighbor?" to "What does it mean for YOU to be a neighbor?". Pastor Dale notes that "neighbor" is a verb more than a noun; how does this shift the responsibility from the person in the road onto your own character?
10. The Best Samaritan. The "sucker punch" of the sermon is the realization that we are all the "bloody man lying in the road" and Jesus is the Samaritan who came to us in our deepest need. How does seeing yourself as the one who needed rescue—rather than the one who is doing the rescuing—transform your motivation for serving others?
11. Close in Prayer: Thank Jesus for being the one who didn't "pass by" when you were wrecked by the consequences of sin. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you “neighbor” someone this week—to do for one in the name of the One.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Analogy for Understanding: Being a neighbor is like the "farmer seeing the farm.". A tourist driving down a country road only sees a mode of transportation from point A to point B, but a farmer sees the cattle that need inspecting and the gardens that need care. In the same way, we only truly "see" a neighbor when we have the heart of a neighbor; until then, we are just travelers looking for loopholes.

Acts 1:4-6
4 Once when he was eating with them, he commanded them, “Do not leave Jerusalem until the Father sends you the gift he promised, as I told you before. 5 John baptized with water, but in just a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
6 So when the apostles were with Jesus, they kept asking him, “Lord, has the time come for you to free Israel and restore our kingdom?”

Jesus is THE One we “do for.”

Acts 1:7-8
 7 He replied, “The Father alone has the authority to set those dates and times, and they are not for you to know. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
 
We do for one in the name of the One.
 
Acts 2:1-4
1 On the day of Pentecost all the believers were meeting together in one place. 2 Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting. 3 Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them. 4 And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability.

John 14:17
 He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you.
 
John 20:19-22 (Genesis 2:7)
 19 That Sunday evening the disciples were meeting behind locked doors because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. Suddenly, Jesus was standing there among them! “Peace be with you,” he said. 20 As he spoke, he showed them the wounds in his hands and his side. They were filled with joy when they saw the Lord! 21 Again he said, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you.” 22 Then he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.

ἐμφυσάω (I breath upon; Heb. ruach)
 
Acts 2:5-13
 5 At that time there were devout Jews from every nation living in Jerusalem. 6 When they heard the loud noise, everyone came running, and they were bewildered to hear their own languages being spoken by the believers. 7 They were completely amazed. “How can this be?” they exclaimed. “These people are all from Galilee, 8 and yet we hear them speaking in our own native languages! 9 Here we are—Parthians, Medes, Elamites, people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, the province of Asia, 10 Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, and the areas of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome 11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism), Cretans, and Arabs. And we all hear these people speaking in our own languages about the wonderful things God has done!” 12 They stood there amazed and perplexed. “What can this mean?” they asked each other.
 13 But others in the crowd ridiculed them, saying, “They’re just drunk, that’s all!”
 
What am I doing with the flame I am called to keep?
 

Keeper of the Flame by Pastor Dale Beaver
Read Acts 1:4-8; Acts 2:1-13; John 14:17; and John 20:19-22.

1. Pastor Dale describes this new sermon series as starting with "passion up front" rather than a mechanical strategy, following the leading of the Spirit. Have you ever felt the Holy Spirit prompting you to do something that didn't fit your "step-by-step" plan? How did you respond?.
2. "Do for one in the name of the One." Pastor Dale emphasizes that Jesus is the "One" we ultimately serve. How does the humble act of offering a "cup of cold water" to one person in Jesus' name redefine your definition of "success" compared to the world’s view of fame or social media influence?.
3. Read Acts 1:4-6. Even after the resurrection, the disciples were still focused on their own expectations of a restored political kingdom. In what ways do we sometimes get distracted by our own "agendas" for God instead of waiting for the power and timing of the Father?.
4. Read Acts 1:7-8. Pastor Dale uses the image of a pebble hitting a still lake to describe the "ripples" of the gospel moving from Jerusalem to the "ends of the earth". Who is in your immediate "neighborhood" or "Samaria"—the people or places you might normally avoid—that God is calling you to reach?.
5. The Mystery of the Spirit. Pastor Dale admits that at 61 years old, he has sometimes been "afraid" of the Holy Spirit because He is hard to quantify or control. What makes the Holy Spirit feel "mysterious" to you, and how does knowing He is here to illuminate Jesus rather than draw attention to Himself ease that fear?.
6. The Role of the Godhead. The sermon explains that the Father wills, the Son accomplishes, and the Holy Spirit applies. How does it help your faith to see the Holy Spirit as the one who actively "applies" the victory of Christ to your specific daily life?.
7. Read Acts 2:1-4. The text moves from the "all" (the group) to the "everyone" (the individual), as tongues of fire settled on each person present. How does the reality that the Holy Spirit indwells you personally change your sense of responsibility as a "keeper of the flame"?.
8. Read John 20:19-22. Pastor Dale connects Jesus "breathing" on the disciples to Genesis 2:7, where God breathed life into Adam. Just as God breathed physical life into humanity, how is Jesus breathing "mission and purpose" into your life today?.
9. The Reversal of Babel. Pastor Dale notes that while the Spirit confounded languages at the Tower of Babel because of human pride, at Pentecost, the Spirit helped everyone understand the "wonderful things God has done" in their own language. How can we use our words to foster understanding and unity rather than confusion and pride?.
10. Lighthouse in the Daytime. The sermon concludes by warning against being like a "pretty lighthouse in the daytime"—great for postcards but failing its true purpose. In a "dark world," what does it look like for you to keep your light lit this week through your service to others?.
11. Close in Prayer: Thank God for the gift of the Holy Spirit who "lives in you". Ask the Father to help you stop trying to quantify your own success and instead focus on doing for the one in the name of the One, trusting that your service will not be forgotten.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Analogy for Understanding: A believer without the Holy Spirit is like a lighthouse with a beautiful exterior but a cold, dark lamp inside; it looks impressive in the sun, but it provides no guidance to those lost in the storm. Keeping the flame means ensuring the "fire" of the Spirit's power is always burning, so that our lives serve the purpose for which they were built: pointing others to the safety of Jesus.

In the fall of 2004, CFC launched our very own low-power radio station. For 22 years, it has had about a 12-mile radius and has highlighted the worship songs of CFC while also broadcasting our Sunday services live. We have loved having this station as part of our ministry, and it has borne much fruit—touching lives, spreading encouragement, and bringing the message of Christ to our community in ways we could never have imagined.
 
In recent months, some of the station’s equipment has failed, and we are no longer broadcasting over the airwaves. While we have continued streaming on our website and app, you can no longer listen on your radio dial. Maintaining the station has become extremely costly. The expense of repairing and replacing equipment combined with ongoing licensing fees is substantial. It is so much that when we consider these costs alongside the culture’s shift toward streaming music, it is clear that these resources can now have an even greater impact if redirected to other areas of our church’s mission. How we listen to music has shifted drastically from 2004 to 2026, and we have decided that we will not spend these large amounts of money to get the station back up. For now, you can still listen to the radio station by streaming HERE. This option will also end when our license expires on August 1, 2026. 
 
For those who enjoy the music we have shared on our station, we have good news! We have compiled a playlist of music from our weekend services on Spotify, and we encourage you to check it out at the same link above or search “CFC Worship.”
 
We are deeply grateful for everyone who has supported the station over the years. While this chapter is closing, we rejoice in the fruit that has come from it, and we look forward to continuing to share music, worship, and God’s Word in new and meaningful ways. Responsibly stewarding the money God provides us at CFC is among our highest priorities. 
 
If you have any questions, please let us know. We can’t wait to worship with you this Sunday!

Two of CFC’s Core Values are Missions and Children & Students. We’re excited to update you on how we were recently able to glorify God in both of those areas.
 
Over the EVSC Spring Break, our High School Ministry took 20 people to the Dominican Republic for their annual mission trip. This team spent months together in preparation for what God would do through them. As a first for our HSM teams, this group went on a weekend retreat in January where they spent extended time getting to know one another better and growing spiritually. 
 
One of the most memorable moments from this trip came on the last morning in La Cola when an opportunity was created for the team to join high school students from the community. Over the course of their time together, both CFC students and Dominican students were given the opportunity to share about their high school experiences, hopes for the future, and much more. Through conversation, a couple of high school girls from La Cola opened up about their unfortunate experiences with unloving fathers. They explained different ways they felt as if they were unable to be loved. A group of CFC students explained the gospel and demonstrated the loving heart of our Heavenly Father. They demonstrated how God not only communicates His love verbally but through actions, and none of these actions are more important than the sacrificial death and resurrection of Jesus. These girls saw God as He has truly revealed Himself and came to trust Christ in that very moment! 
 
Throughout the trip, the team was focused on being Spirit-led and obeying all He was calling them to do. As a result of this, students saw God work in incredible ways and were deeply impacted. Since the team has returned, students from this trip have remained close and are focused on how they can go about living missionally right here in Evansville. This trip was truly an incredible experience for our high school students, and the name of Jesus was magnified. 
 
Thank you for being a part of CFC’s vision of “Glorifying God by Making Disciples of All People!” We can’t wait to worship with you on Sunday!

Confessions by Reid Schultheis
Read Romans 10:9; James 5:16; Psalm 32:1-5; and 1 John 1:7-9.

1. Reid shares about the "terrifying" experience of making his first confession in a dimly lit room as a child. Why is it so uncomfortable for us to lay out our "inside reality" to God or to another person?
2. Read Romans 10:9. Reid notes there is a big difference between saying "I believe there is a God" and "I believe Jesus is the Lord". What does it mean to you personally to declare that Jesus has the right to demand you live a certain way?
3. Read James 5:16. Reid points out that while we often focus on the "sexy" second half of this verse about powerful prayer, the first half is an "abundantly clear" command. Why is it important to see confession as a requirement of discipleship rather than an optional suggestion?
4. Biblical Anthropology. The sermon explains that we are "embodied souls"—material and immaterial entities joined together. How does the truth that sin is stored up in our bodies (affecting us physically) change your understanding of why we need to deal with it?
5. Read Psalm 32:3-5. David describes his body "wasting away" and his strength "evaporating" when he refused to confess. Have you ever felt a physical or emotional weight lift after finally being honest about a struggle or sin? Discuss.
6. Forgiveness vs. Healing. Reid argues that we go to God for forgiveness, but we often go to one another for healing. How does having a brother or sister in Christ stay with you after a confession help you experience the love of God, rather than just knowing it as a fact?
7. Read 1 John 1:7-9. The text links "living in the light" with having "fellowship with each other." Reid states that our relationship with Jesus is deeply personal but not private. How do your "hidden" sins impact the rest of the church body, even if no one else knows about them?
8. Sins of Omission. Beyond direct hurts, the sermon mentions that sin robs the church of the time, energy, and resources you could have used to serve your neighbor. How does this perspective convict you to prioritize reconciliation within your community?
9. The Heart of Confession. Reid emphasizes that confession is not a "secret sauce"—it is an act of trust in the finished work of Jesus. Why must we be convinced that Jesus’ sacrifice was "sufficient" before we will ever be brave enough to confess?
10. The Seven A’s. Review Ken Sande’s "7 A’s of a Good Confession" (Address everyone, Avoid 'if/but', Admit specifically, Acknowledge hurt, Accept consequences, Alter behavior, Ask for forgiveness). Which of these is usually the hardest for you to include in an apology?
11. Close in Prayer: Ask the Holy Spirit to bring to mind any specific person you need to confess to this week. Pray for the humility and courage to value God's glory and the unity of the church above your own comfort.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Analogy for Understanding: When we sin, it is like thunderclouds rolling in to block out the sun. We know the sun (God’s love) is still there, but we can no longer feel its warmth on our skin. Confessing our sins to one another is like the wind that parts the clouds, allowing us to once again experience the reality of the grace that was there all along.

Roman 10:9 (NLT)
9 If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

God commands us to confess our sins to Him and to one another.

James 5:16 (NLT)
16 Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.

Psalm 32:1-5 (NLT)
1 Oh, what joy for those
    whose disobedience is forgiven,
    whose sin is put out of sight!
2 Yes, what joy for those
    whose record the LORD has cleared of guilt,
    whose lives are lived in complete honesty!
3 When I refused to confess my sin,
    my body wasted away,
    and I groaned all day long.
4 Day and night your hand of discipline was heavy on me.
    My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat. Interlude
5 Finally, I confessed all my sins to you
    and stopped trying to hide my guilt.
I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the LORD.”
    And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone.

1 John 1:7-9 (NLT)
7 But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin. 8 If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. 9 But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.

God commands confession for His glory, our good, and others’ good.

Ken Sande’s Peacemaker 7 A’s of a Good Confession

• Address everyone involved
• Avoid “if, but, and maybe”
• Admit specifically as sin
• Acknowledge the hurt
• Accept the consequences
• Alter your behavior
• Ask for forgiveness

Romans 12:1-2
1 And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. 2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

Your life is worship through service, not just a worship service.

“In contrasting chapters 1—11 with chapters 12—16 of Romans, perhaps the most important distinction is that the first part deals primarily with God’s actions for humanity, and the last part deals with people’s actions in response to God’s.”
-Constable, Notes on Romans

Ephesians 4:1
Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God.

Learning to love authentically takes practice. So practice!

Romans 12:9-13
9 Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. 10 Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. 11 Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically. 12 Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying. 13 When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality.

Romans 13:8-10
8 Owe nothing to anyone—except for your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God’s law. 9 For the commandments say, “You must not commit adultery. You must not murder. You must not steal. You must not covet.” These—and other such commandments—are summed up in this one commandment: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” 10 Love does no wrong to others, so love fulfills the requirements of God’s law.

Romans 13:12-14
12 The night is almost gone; the day of salvation will soon be here. So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes, and put on the shining armor of right living. 13 Because we belong to the day, we must live decent lives for all to see. Don’t participate in the darkness of wild parties and drunkenness, or in sexual promiscuity and immoral living, or in quarreling and jealousy. 14 Instead, clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. And don’t let yourself think about ways to indulge your evil desires.

Put up. Huddle up. Grow up.

Romans 14:1
Accept other believers who are weak in faith, and don’t argue with them about what they think is right or wrong.

Romans 14:17-19
17 For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink, but of living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. 18 If you serve Christ with this attitude, you will please God, and others will approve of you, too. 19 So then, let us aim for harmony in the church and try to build each other up.

Romans 15:5-6
5 May God, who gives this patience and encouragement, help you live in complete harmony with each other, as is fitting for followers of Christ Jesus. 6 Then all of you can join together with one voice, giving praise and glory to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Romans 16:25-27
25 Now all glory to God, who is able to make you strong, just as my Good News says. This message about Jesus Christ has revealed his plan for you Gentiles, a plan kept secret from the beginning of time. 26 But now as the prophets foretold and as the eternal God has commanded, this message is made known to all Gentiles everywhere, so that they too might believe and obey him. 27 All glory to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, forever. Amen.

Living the Gospel by Pastor Dale Beaver
Read Romans 12:1-2, 9-13; Romans 13:8-14; Romans 14:1, 17-19; and Ephesians 4:1.

1. Pastor Dale shares a story about his old college ID cards and the importance of "validation". He notes that some people treat Easter or Christmas church attendance like getting a "parking pass validated" or a "passport stamped" for heaven. How can we move from seeking "validation" through religious attendance to a genuine relationship with Jesus?
2. Read Romans 12:1-2. The first 11 chapters of Romans focus on God’s actions for humanity (Justification), while chapters 12–16 focus on our response to God (Sanctification). Why is it important to understand what God has already done for us before we try to do anything for Him?
3. "Your life is worship through service, not just a worship service". Pastor Dale says we need to "get up off the altar" because the sacrifice has already been made by Jesus. What does it look like in your specific daily routine—at work, home, or in the community—to live as a "living sacrifice"?
4. Vocation vs. Profession. The sermon distinguishes between a profession (what you aspire to) and a vocation (a calling you respond to) 11, 12. How does viewing your current job or stage of life as a "vocation" change the way you use that platform to serve God?
5. Read Romans 12:9-13. Pastor Dale emphasizes that "learning to love authentically takes practice". The Greek word for "don't pretend" refers to being "unmasked" or "unhypocritical". Why is it often easier to "act" like we love others rather than "really" loving them?
6. The "Do for One" Strategy. Pastor Dale admits to feeling overwhelmed by the "impossible" task of loving everyone. He suggests an upcoming series called "Do for One," focusing on the person directly in front of you. Who is the "one" person God has placed in your life this week that you can serve or love specifically?
7. Read Romans 13:8-10. Even if you are financially debt-free, Pastor Dale notes that every believer has a permanent "obligation to love one another". How does this "debt of love" affect the way you view people you might otherwise find difficult or inconvenient?
8. Read Romans 13:12-14. We are told to "remove dark deeds like dirty clothes" and "clothe ourselves with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ". What are some "dirty clothes" (attitudes or habits) you need to take off, and how do you practically "put on" the presence of Jesus each morning?
9. Put up, Huddle up, and Grow up. Pastor Dale uses these three expressions to summarize the call to harmony. Read Romans 14:1, 17-19. When someone makes a "basic discovery" in their faith, why is it vital that we don't "flex" on them with our own knowledge, but instead rejoice with them?
10. Aiming for Harmony. In the early church, people argued over food, drinks, and special days. Today, we might argue over different "opinions" or "preferences". According to Romans 14:17, what are the three true characteristics of the Kingdom of God that should define our groups and our church?
11. Close in Prayer: Read the blessing from Romans 16:25-27 aloud. Thank God for the "Good News" that makes us strong. Ask the Holy Spirit to transform your thinking this week so that your life becomes a "living sacrifice" that points others to the wise and only God.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Analogy for Understanding: Living the gospel is like a soldier who has been honorably discharged from a life of slavery and given a new identity and "uniform" representing a different Kingdom. We don't wear the uniform to earn our citizenship—that was already secured by the King—but we wear it and practice the "drills" of love and service so that we can represent our true Home in a world that is still full of shadows.

We have had a new membership process for just over a year now, and we are so thankful for the Lord’s leading and guidance through implementing it. We are seeing fruit from the connections that have been made, as well as from the accountability that has come with the new process. We truly feel more like a family today than we did a year ago, and we hope that has been your experience, too! It's been incredibly encouraging to already see God's hand at work in the lives of our newest members. Many have jumped right in; they are serving throughout CFC and actively engaging in our small groups and Bible studies. They are truly embodying what it means to be a healthy church member.
 
If you would like to pursue membership at CFC (and we hope you want to if you’re not a member already), you can learn about the 3-step process and pertinent dates at onlinecfc.com/membership. The first step is the Intro to CFC Class, which we will have next on April 19.
 
We want to take a special moment to formally acknowledge and extend a warm welcome to those who have recently completed the process and are now members of CFC! We can't wait to see how the Lord continues to grow them and use them!  
 
We also can't wait to worship with you this Sunday! He is STILL risen, indeed!
