Luke 24:49 (KJV): 49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high . Acts 1:8 (KJV): 8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Acts 2:37-39 (KJV): 37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. Ephesians 5:18 (KJV): 18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit. As revealed in the above scriptures, every Christian needs the baptism in power, not to bring attention upon ourselves, but primarily to be victorious over the flesh. We need power over this flesh! As the Apostle Paul revealed in Romans 7:22-25 (KJV): 22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison Scripture for Sunday, 7-27-25 Romans 7:18 (KJV) 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

In the 7 th . chapter of Romans the Apostle Paul reveals the struggle that is the reality of every human being. There is a fight between the flesh and the spirit of the man who wants to please God, and that battle is a real battle that if we are not strong then we give place to the enemy of our souls, Satan. The Apostle also reveals how we are victorious over this flesh and Satan. Romans 7:14-25 (KJV): 14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. 17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. 22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. The victory for the Christian is in his faith and in the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit, 1 Jn. 5:4; Gal. 5:16.  In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison Scripture for Sunday, 7-20-25 Acts 2:17 (KJV) 17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. Announcements for Sunday, 7-20-25 1. CCC will not have Bible Monday, 7-21-25, but will upload the video to the website. CCC will have Bible study Monday, 7-28-25, at 7:30 p.m. 2.

The Word off God is our lifeline during this earth journey. As a matter of fact, one acronym for B.I.B.L.E. is Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. 2 Timothy 3:14-17 (KJV): 14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. The Word reveals to the people of God an unseen enemy. Invisible to the natural eye, yet this enemy can very well be seen through the eyes of faith. Faith in what the Bible reveals about Satan is our only means of knowing who this enemy is and the spiritual arsenal at our disposal to keep that enemy where he belongs, under our feet. The Church has been given the power and authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions (the kingdom of Satan), and over all off the power of the enemy. One powerful revelation in the Word of God is that this enemy works through the weakness of the flesh. If the people of God would walk by faith and not by sight, be filled with the Spirit, and walk in the Spirit, it would be game over for the devil. Galatians 5:16-17 (KJV): 16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison Scripture for Sunday, 7-13-25 Acts 1:8 (KJV) 8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Many Christians do not take what the Bible reveals about Satan as seriously as they ought. Satan was not always a fallen angel. At one time he was known as Lucifer. The name Lucifer means “light bringer,” “shining one.” He was called the anointed cherub. He was considered a good angel until iniquity was found in him. Pride entered in and Lucifer “light bringer,” and “shining one” became Satan, which means “adversary.” He was created and is not omniscient, omnipotent, or omnipresent. He must be resisted though, 1 Peter 5:8-9 (KJV): 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. Neither are Christians to give place to the devil, Ephesians 4:26-27 (KJV): 26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: 27 Neither give place to the devil. Some don’t believe he’s real. Others take him lightly. Satan has been around and obviously God takes him very seriously because Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil, 1 John 3:8 (KJV): 8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Satan is a spirit, therefore we will need spiritual weapons to be victorious over him, but be encouraged, Jesus have already destroyed the works of the devil. The Word of God is our hammer. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 (KJV): 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison Scripture for Sunday, 7-6-25 Luke 10:18 (KJV) 18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Announcements for Sunday, 7-6-25 1.

When you are faced with an enemy who cannot be seen with the natural eye then you had better learn all you can about that enemy from reliable sources, especially if that source created that enemy. 1 Peter 5:8-9 (KJV) 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. Satan is an adversary not to be taken lightly. He tempted our Lord with significant earthly power and possessions that many would not hesitate to accept the devil’s offer and in fact, do. Matthew 4:8-9 (KJV): 8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. It would not be a temptation if Satan could not deliver, and Jesus never said that Satan couldn’t do what he said. The Bible declares that Satan is the god of this world and the prince of the power of the air. 2 Corinthians 4:3-4 (KJV): 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. Ephesians 2:2 (KJV): 2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience. In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison Scripture for Sunday, 6-29-25 Matthew 4:10 (KJV) 10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

The signs of the times are the indicators on the road of prophecy keeping the saints abreast of the nearness of His coming, the second coming of Christ. Wars and rumors of wars are signs that we are in the last days. Earthquakes in divers places, the love of many will wax cold. As it was in the days of Lot and Noah, marrying and giving in marriage, then sudden destruction came upon them. Daniel prophesied that a king of a fierce countenance would rise up out of the old Roman Empire and he will exalt himself even above God. Nation will rise up against nation and 3 froglike spirits persuade them to take part in Megiddo what is called the battle of Armageddon , Revelation 16:13-16 (KJV) 13 And I saw three unclean :spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. 15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. 16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. Ezekiel 38, & 39; Daniel 2, 7, 8, & 11; Rev. 13 all shed light on the events that are setting the stage for the soon coming King of kings and Lord of lords who will set up an everlasting kingdom on earth, Daniel 2:44 (KJV): 44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A.

The need for the local Church is more evident today than ever. Congregational worship involves so much more than just the outward expressions of worship such as the lifting of hands, praising God with musical instruments, and the singing of songs. It’s also being there for each other. It means being accountable to one another, Ephesians 5:21 (KJV): 21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Family is a great support system and so is your Christian family. It is so necessary in these times we live in presently. When government does away with the programs that help the least of these, then the Church must step up to the plate and take up the slack. The Church is the one place where hurting people should find consolation, the hungry should get their needs met, the homeless find shelter, the weak can find strength, and restoration for the downtrodden and the broken hearted. We are God’s hands and feet. We, the Church, the ekklesia, the called out ones, are all of the body of Christ in the earth today. We are the champions for the poor, the voiceless, the abused, and all those whom are oppressed of the devil. Wasn’t that the Lord’s mission in the earth? Acts 10:38 (KJV): 38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. Luke 4:18-19 (KJV): 18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. We too, the contemporary Church, understand that our assignment has not changed. In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison Scripture for Sunday, 6-15-25 Mark 16:15 (KJV) 15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Announcements for Sunday, 6-15-25 1.

The Church will have contractors begin preliminary work on pouring concrete for the parking area just in front of the Church, as well as the Church van parking area, beginning on Monday 6-16-25, therefore we’re asking CCC Partners to avoid those areas when parking for Monday night Bible study and utilize the parking available to the side of the Church and across from the Church. Prayerfully the concrete work will be completed this week. In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison

There are so many religions in the world today. At one time I spent a lot of energy studying the different religions, but as I have gotten wiser in the things of God I’ve not spent as much of my energy on other beliefs, though I do see it as wisdom to know what is out there so that we may have an answer for what we believe. Scripture heeds Christians to know and understand His revelation, the Word of God. 2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV): 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. That word “study” is from the Greek word spoudazo and it means do diligence, be diligent, endeavor, and to labor. We are to have an understanding of this great salvation that we are so blessed to partake of. I am personally convinced that the greatest blessing is understanding the revelation of God and the eternal benefits of that personal relationship with Him. An eternity, forever and ever, with God in all of His glory is not even to be compared to what all we suffer on this side of glory. These things we have been taught from a child . 2 Timothy 3:15-17 (KJV): 15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. John 14:6 (KJV): 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. What another man believes is between him and the good Master. In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison Scripture for Sunday, 6-8-25 John 14:9 (KJV) 9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

Praise is a powerful weapon in the kingdom. Jehoshaphat sent praisers into the forefront of the battle and confused the enemy, 2 Chron. 20:21, 22. The Syrophenician woman worshipped the Lord and her daughter who was vexed by demons was healed, Matt. 15:21-28. The Bible declares in Ps. 22:3 that God inhabits the praises of Israel. He inhabits the praise, period! I know in my own personal life the power of praise. In every dark situation as I looked to the Arthur and Finisher of my faith and worshipped, I received strength, peace, and joy. He will never fail you nor me. Praise boosts our faith, Philip. 4:6. Praise honors the Lord in reverential respect. It recalibrates our thinking to His, aligning with His Word and therefore the blessing. If I’m praising God, then I’m not giving place to the enemy of my soul to plant evil thoughts into my mind. Worship does so much to and for the worshipper. It invites God and Heaven into our situation, Ps. 22:3. For petition prayers it keeps us focused in faith for what we’re believing God for. It’s an act of faith in itself. Who worships what they don’t believe in? It’s like prayer. Who prays to someone they don’t believe in? We often say, “Prayer changes things.” Well, praise changes things too. For one thing, instead of using our mouths to speak doubt and unbelief, we’re using our tongue to give praise unto God. Praise also releases our faith into the atmosphere by praising God with the Word of faith. I’m learning more and more the importance of paying attention to details. The Bible says that faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God, Rom. 10:17. In His Service, Pastor Jeffery A. Muchison Scripture for Sunday, 6-1-25 Colossians 3:16 (KJV) 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
