XIII Anniversary - Jesus Called Me Broke
Jesus Called Me Broke With our anchor scripture being Rev. 3:20, a powerful reminder that not every kind of growth is beneficial (after all, cancer is a form of growth too). A church with Jesus is complete, no matter the number. 🙏The economy of heaven is different; those the world calls rich may actually be poor. 💭And that the modern church must balance both justice and justification, because the gospel is more than social impact, its truth, compassion, and purpose intertwined.God defends the vulnerable: the orphans, widows, immigrants, and poor and calls us to do the same. 🤝In all, true Christianity is not just about giving out of abundance, but living out of conviction.As believers, generosity and compassion are not optional; they are proof of a transformed life. When we give, serve, and love others selflessly, we reflect the righteousness we’ve received.Phillipians 2:4–5;7

Leaving a Legacy
God isn’t just interested in our survival, He desires our joy and progress in the faith (Philippians 1:25).This series is a call to build a legacy that reflects Christ, not one measured by possessions or status, but by purpose, impact, and obedience to God.He introduced us to The CCI Promise — the culture and conviction that every member of CCI must embody to live a life that outlives them:📌 P — Purpose:Every member of CCI must wake up daily with a sense of divine purpose. You are not an accident; you were created to know Christ and make Him known.📌 R — Rooted:You can’t claim to love God and not love His Word. A rooted believer is grounded in sound doctrine, not easily swayed by emotions or trends.📌 O — Oneness:Church is more than a gathering; it’s a family. Jesus prayed in John 17:21 that we may be one. So, church hasn’t truly ended until you’ve built genuine relationships in community.📌 M — Mission:We’re called to be bold and unashamed about the Gospel — to reach the lost and represent Jesus in every sphere. We’re not just saved from something; we’re saved FOR something.📌 I — Impact:Our faith must translate into social impact. The light we carry should make the world brighter, fairer, and kinder.📌 S — Surpassing Joy:Joy is our lifestyle! Jesus is our treasure, more precious than anything the world can offer.📌 E — Excellence:We give our best to whatever we do, because our God deserves nothing less. Excellence is how we express worship.The CCI Promise is our culture and not just a checklist.It’s who we are, a people on a mission to know Christ deeply, stay rooted in truth, walk in love, and represent Him with joy and excellence.Apostle went on to remind us that righteousness is not just a gift we receive but a life we live out.Romans 4:3 tells us that Abraham believed God and it was counted to him as righteousness. Yet that same Abraham proved his faith through his actions (James 2:21).💡 “You were not saved by works, but you were saved to work.”When God makes you right with Himself, He expects you to start acting like Him — showing justice, mercy, and compassion.📖 Proverbs 21:3 says, “To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.”So, righteousness and social justice go hand in hand.Job 29:12-17 paints a picture of this — defending the helpless, speaking up for the voiceless, and extending mercy to those who have none.📍 True legacy is beyond how much you accumulate. It’s how much of Christ’s heart is reflected in how you treat people.📍It’s seen in how you steward influence, handle resources, and walk in mercy.Because, as Apostle said, “Mercy makes the difference in the life of a believer.” (Romans 9:16, Matthew 5:7)Live intentionally.Live with purpose.Live as one who carries the life of God, and let your legacy speak of Jesus. 🌍✨

The Saved & Mammon – Faithfulness in Earthly Wealth
The Saved & Mammon – Faithfulness in Earthly Wealth.We were reminded that faith doesn’t excuse irresponsibility. God calls us to be both spiritual and sensible — prayerful yet productive.If you keep holding on to God’s Word without seeing results, you may be violating His principles. Grace doesn’t cancel diligence; it empowers it.Here are some key points from the sermon:📌 Heaven is assured, but everything else requires stewardship.(Proverbs 24:3–6)Success, progress, and prosperity don’t happen automatically — they respond to wisdom and discipline.📌 God created us as His representatives on earth.(Genesis 2:15)Depending on God for everything without taking responsibility may look spiritual, but it’s actually irresponsible. Faith is not passivity; it’s partnership with God.📌 Miracles were never designed to replace principles.They are divine interventions, not shortcuts to avoid hard work or consistency. True faith applies wisdom daily.📌 It’s not God or science — God works through science.He is the Creator of systems, knowledge, and discovery. Faith and intelligence were never meant to be opposites.📌 90% of life’s problems are solved by principles, not miracles.Pray fervently, but also study, plan, and work diligently. Prophetic advantage gives you foresight — wisdom to discern times and seasons. (1 Chronicles 12:32)📌 Master money, don’t serve it.(Proverbs 21:20)Plan for the future, save diligently, and resist the urge to show off. Having money doesn’t mean you can afford everything. Choose to be rich, not look rich.📌 Have a healthy caution towards wealth.(Proverbs 23:5)Even when planning, remember that not everything will go as planned — wisdom prepares for setbacks and learns from them.✨ Faithfulness is stewardship.God blesses those who combine prayer with prudence, faith with foresight, and passion with principles.Walk in balance: pray hard, plan wisely, and work excellently.

Leave & Cleave - Remaining One Flesh With Your Spouse
Leave & Cleave - Remaining One Flesh With Your Spouse🌟We explored faith and prudence in the aspect of marriage. It was emphasised that both our spirit and mind must be actively engaged for us to make major life decisions. Here are some key points from the sermon; 📌 We have some heroes in the Bible who are known for their good works but had many flaws. Samson, for example, was a hero of faith but failed in certain areas of his life when he broke the instructions of consecration. Hebrews 11:32📌It is possible to be legitimately saved yet miserable in other aspects of life. However, we can deliberately decide to strike a balance in every area of our lives. 📌We should not be overly religious in dealing with life issues. We must observe certain patterns when making marital choices.🌟BIBLICAL EXAMPLES OF MARITAL ERRORS👉 Isaac and Rebecca. There was open favouritism in their home, which affected their family. We must learn to love children equally. Genesis 25:28👉 Job and His Wife Sometimes, the devil targets homes without unity. Job’s wife advised him to give up and die during their trial.👉 Abraham and Sarah Abraham followed God’s instruction to sacrifice Isaac without involving his wife. This led to a broken home and contributed to Sarah’s death. Genesis 22:18–19; 23:1–4🌟COMMON MISTAKES PEOPLE MAKE IN MARRIAGE. 1. Religious Mistakes📌Being overly religious can lead to challenges in marriage. We must understand how God leads us into marriage. Galatians 1:15📌 It’s possible to receive confirmation from God and still end up in a failed marriage if responsibilities are not taken seriously. 📌We must make decisions with both a spiritual and practical mind; there should be logical reasons behind every decision.2. Financial Mistakes📌Men should not just see marriage as a right to have a wife. They must serve a vision in their homes and take full responsibility.📌Read books on marriage to make informed decisions. Even good marriages have uncertain seasons, but reading gives you context and wisdom.3. Conflict Resolution Mistakes📌 Know when and how to resolve conflicts. It is emotional immaturity to avoid difficult conversations. Learn to reconcile with your partner regularly.
