SUNDAY SNAPSHOT (WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY? - 1)

main image

There’s something inside of everyone that wants to find HAPPINESS! It seems like everybody is on a HAPPINESS Quest of some sort! (And for many…) HAPPINESS is measured in MOMENTS and/or EXPERIENCES… which then in turn can often be ELUSIVE and almost UNTAINABLE! What about YOU? What makes YOU HAPPY? Over the next 6 Weeks here at COC… we’re gonna discover together WHAT (REALLY) MAKES YOU HAPPY? We’ll explore the THREE THINGS all HAPPY PEOPLE have in common… then we’ll discuss the THREE THINGS that can become a REALITY for YOU in finding HAPPINESS! Don’t Miss It!

 

 

Sunday Snapshot… (Wk1) NOTHING (Ben Gores)

 

It's really hard to market HAPPINESS... (However...) It's really easy to market a QUICK FIX!

 

HAPPINESS is more about a WHO than a WHAT!

 

YOU were designed with RELATIONSHIPS in mind!

 

SIN always makes promises it CANNOT KEEP!

 

PEACE WITH GOD “PAVES” the way to PEACE with OURSELVES and “PREPARES” us to make PEACE with OTHERS!

 

 

See You Sunday Celebrators… (JANUARY 01st – UNIFIED SERVICE – 9A)

SUNDAY SNAPSHOT (BE CHRISTMAS - 2)

main image

When it comes to CHRISTMAS… it all STARTS with JESUS and ENDS with JESUS! It’s really a season where we are called to LAY DOWN our BURDENS and LIFT UP a SONG to our GOD! It’s a season where LOVE WINS… PEACE REIGNS… and a KING IS CELEBRATED! So as we enter the Story of Christmas together this year… our prayer at COC is that each and every one of you will ENCOUNTER JESUS in a special way! And when you do just that… we’re pretty sure that your life will overflow with LOVE… and maybe you’ll SPEND A LITTLE LESS and GIVE A LITTLE MORE! Because MORE… blesses everyone in the end! Don’t miss the Second/Last Week of our special little series leading into Christmas Eve we’ve called “BE CHRISTMAS” this coming Sunday… hopefully we’ll be able to show you a little how you can DO/BE everything we’ve just mentioned!

 

 

Sunday Snapshot… (Wk2) SPEND LESS / GIVE MORE

 

If you're a JESUS FOLLOWER... you come from a LONG LINE of REBELS! (Jesus was the Ultimate Rebel… YOU should be one too!)

 

When we LIVE in the WORLDS of... A LITTLE IS GOOD (Or…) MORE IS BETTER (Or…) A LOT IS THE BEST... (Then…) CONTENTMENT will ALWAYS be JUST OUT OF OUR GRASP!

 

When GOD RESCUED US... He didn't do it by GIVING US MORE! HE LOVED the WORLD so much that HE GAVE His One and Only Son! (He gave us what was MOST IMPORTANT to HIM! – Is HE… MOST IMPORTANT to YOU?)

 

This Christmas… The Greatest Christmas PRESENT you could ever give to Jesus is the GIFT OF YOUR PRESENCE! (He’s WORTHY of your WORSHIP!)

 

Don't BOW DOWN to the ALTAR of “MORE” this Christmas... BOW DOWN at the MANGER and say... "JESUS IS MY LORD!" (Stay focused on HIM this Christmas!)

 

 

See You Sunday Celebrators… (9:00A / 10:45A)
