Mary the Messenger | Easter Message from John 20:11–18 On Easter morning, Jesus had a message to send—and he chose Mary Magdalene as his first messenger. Not a religious leader. Not a public figure. A woman with a past. A woman transformed by Jesus. In this message, we explore: 📩 The urgency of God's message—like a warning on a highway, or life-saving news 👀 How Mary was a firsthand witness to the person and power of Jesus 📢 How Jesus still calls unexpected people to carry his message today 💬 The simple, joyful call: “Go and say” what you’ve seen and heard You may feel unqualified, but if you’ve experienced Jesus, you are his messenger. Tell the story of what he’s done. From Mary to you, the message of adoption, hope, and resurrection must be shared. Don’t let the message fail to send. #MaryTheMessenger #EasterMessage #Resurrection #Gospel #John20 #JesusSaves #Eyewitness #GoAndTell #AdoptionThroughChrist #ChristianSermon #HeIsRisen #PowerOfJesus #ShareTheGoodNews #ChristianEncouragement…
On this Good Friday, we consider the death of Christ and what that death means for our life today. Join us cefc.church.
In John 20:1-10, we read of a dark moment when confusion turned to faith, and an empty grave declared the greatest victory in history. In a world searching for hope, the resurrection of Jesus proves that death is not the end and that Jesus is the light in the darkness. What does the empty tomb mean for us today? Discover how this moment reshaped history and our lives forever! Join us at cefc.church.…
Mary the Anointer approached the tomb, expecting to anoint the body of Jesus—but what she found changed everything. Mark 15:42–16:4 reveals a deep preoccupation with Christ’s lifeless body. Why? What does this tell us about the meaning of His death? This message explores the central event of Christ’s sacrifice through three powerful perspectives of atonement: 1️⃣ Jesus’ death as Ransom – Paying the price for our freedom. 2️⃣ Jesus’ death as Substitute – Taking our place in judgment. 3️⃣ Jesus’ death as Victor – Triumphing over sin, death, and Satan. Each view deepens our understanding of Christ’s work on the cross and ignites our devotion to Him. #JesusIsRisen #Atonement #JesusPaidItAll #VictoryInJesus #GospelTruth #ChristianSermon #Mark16 #ChristOurRansom #JesusOurSubstitute #ChristusVictor…
Mary the Witness Stand Out, Stand By, Stand On Mary Magdalene wasn’t just a follower of Jesus—she was a witness who stood out for her singular devotion to Him. In a world where identity is often tied to people, status, or achievements, Mary found her identity in Christ. She stood by Jesus at the cross when others fled, showing a faith that was bold, unwavering, and deeply committed. This sermon explores what it means to stand out for Christ—not out of arrogance or strangeness, but for unwavering faith. It challenges us to stand by Jesus in the hardest moments, just as Mary did at the crucifixion. And it calls us to stand on the firm foundation of Christ’s words and resurrection power. Let’s live with a faith that stands out, stands by, and stands on the truth of Christ! #MaryTheWitness #FaithThatStands #JesusFirst #StandOutForChrist #FollowJesus #BoldFaith #MaryMagdalene #ChristianLiving #BiblicalTeaching #Sermon…
Join us for this message about Mary Magdalene, a true servant of Jesus. As seen in Matthew 27:55-56, Mark 16:1-2, Mary is one of the women who gave to minister to Jesus’ needs. After Jesus’ death, Mary was one who rose early to anoint His body with costly spices and showed sacrificial love even when hope seemed lost. Mary gave her whole self – time, talent and resources – motivated by Jesus’ healing and grace. This message illustrates Mary’s selfless giving, revealing that true service flows from love, not obligation. Discover how Mary’s example challenges us today: Are you ready to serve Jesus with your time, talents, and treasure? Let’s explore practical ways to live for Christ in community, just as Mary did.

Do you need healing—emotional, physical, spiritual, or psychological? 💔 James 5:16-18 shows us the power of confession and prayer in bringing restoration. But what if you're afraid to confess? What if praying feels awkward or uncomfortable? True healing happens in community. When we confess our sins to one another and pray for one another, we step into the light, break sin’s power, and experience God's grace. Prayer is powerful—even Elijah, a man just like us, experienced a powerful answer to prayer. Find friends who confess and pray for one another so that you will be healed!

This message tackles two questions: Do I love others enough to give correction? Do I love Jesus enough to receive correction? A good friend tells the truth even when the truth hurts. Proverbs 27:5-6 describes this type of truth telling as a faithful wound. When a friend wounds us with the truth, that wound can lead us to grow more like Christ. On the other hand, empty praise can be the mark of an enemy. Learn what it looks like to be a friend who speaks the truth out of love (Ephesians 4:15). Then learn what it looks like to humble receive correction because we love Jesus and want to live more like him! #BiblicalFriendship #SpeakTheTruthInLove #FaithfulWounds #Proverbs2756 #ChristianGrowth #SpiritualMaturity #JesusCentered #Ephesians415 #OpenRebuke #ChristianTeaching #WisdomFromProverbs #Discipleship #TruthAndLove #GospelTruth #FollowJesus…

Friendship That Sacrifices (1 Samuel 18:1-4; Philippians 2:5-8) | CEFC 2-2-25 In a world of quick likes, endless scrolling, and shallow connections, true friendship is becoming increasingly rare. But real friendship—the kind that changes lives—is costly. It requires sacrifice, vulnerability, and deep commitment. 📖 In 1 Samuel 18, Jonathan gives up his royal robe and armor for David—a powerful act of selfless love. But this story points to something even greater… ✨ Jesus, the true Son of the King, gave up far more than a robe—He gave up heaven’s glory to make us His friends (Philippians 2:5-8). 💡 What does this mean for you? How can you be a Jonathan to someone in your life? What does it look like to love with a sacrificial friendship? And most importantly—how does Jesus’ ultimate friendship transform the way we love others? 🔗 Stick around to discover how true friendship is marked by sacrifice—first in Christ, then in how we love others.…
Are you the type of friend who encourages and strengthens others even when it puts you in a potentially difficult situation? In 1 Samuel 23:15-18, Jonathan, son of King Saul, secretly meets with David, Saul's successor, to encourage him spiritually and affirm his future kingship. Although David was being relentlessly threatened by King Saul, Jonathan put himself at risk as he sought to remind David of the promises of God. Having counted the cost, Jonathan remained a good friend to David and faithful to the Lord despite potential consequences from his own father, King Saul.…
