These letters are a reminder of how God has blessed you and me and how we are alive in Christ. It’s how Christ transforms our lives and how we become part of a new humanity, which means we live totally and completely differently. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1651509714319-8337CN0EC7RKRFL308JM/image-asset.png Missional Mosaic - Fasting and Feasting (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Fasting and Feasting This series uncovers what we most long for and asks God to satisfy our hunger to fill our emptiness. Throughout Scripture, God uses food (or lack thereof) to uncover our deepest longings and hunger. Sometimes, God uses food to satiate our bellies and create a place where God can meet us and fill our spirit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1644959800095-WGMPES1911GEOTWGA750/image-asset.jpeg Missional Mosaic - Psalms (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Psalms Prayer is THE THING that allows us to re-charge the very core of who we were created to be in the presence of the God who created us. So it is not only important that we take the time to engage with the practice, but also learn how to pray. That is what the Psalms teach us to do. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/b6547f67-4362-4c44-8af8-953f4824a57b/image-asset.png Missional Mosaic - A Present Christmas (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) A Present Christmas We are captivated by stories of the ‘suddenly’ of the scriptures. We often think of God’s intervention as immediate and instant. But we forget the longer work of preparation. What took place before the suddenly. How can our faithfulness to what God asks us to do, that seems ordinary, be a place of Divine connection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1632851171249-GEFUNZ4N5EMDL98FNNXW/image-asset.jpeg Missional Mosaic - Exodus (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Exodus The book of Exodus is all about freedom. It is the second book of the Bible and begins with the context that the family of Abraham (God’s chosen people, now led by Jacob) have moved down to Egypt. Now the rest of the book is a journey of the people of God into freedom. Throughout the book, God reveals himself as the God who rescues, the God who redeems, who sets free. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1631721579645-PGGWL5UO8P48S5H3AB1L/Town+Hall+Slide+copy.jpg Missional Mosaic - Town Hall Service (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Town Hall Service As a church, we are different than we were two years ago.

But the New Testament book of James (written by the half-brother of Jesus), reminds us that suffering is a paradoxical gift that can show us any fractures in our faith. In other words, the fracturing of our world reveals the integrity or inauthenticity of our faith. God can use these trials to fulfill his mission to help us become complete, whole, integrated, and perfect. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1626877976592-L4OHW6IBBTI4FZD2IH48/image-asset.jpeg Missional Mosaic - The Believers (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) The Believers Instead of following the Holy Spirit to cross all barriers, the Church has often been responsible for creating barriers, boundaries, and obstacles to participating in the Kingdom.

It is a biblical call. It is God’s call. It is proclaimed in the Old Testament, found at the heart of Jesus’ ministry, fulfilled on the cross, realized at Christ’s return, and should be passionately lived out by all who follow Jesus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1594063556602-632RNFPHQ4H1WQY3EM6T/image-asset.jpeg Missional Mosaic - Driftwood Hope (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Driftwood Hope In the Biblical story, there is a long history of those whose expectations of life have also been dashed on the rocks. By listening to the voices who have weathered past storms we too might learn to find hope by clinging to the driftwood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1618515630610-6M04TDV14FWH6O33JQ9O/Red+Letters+Title+HD.jpg Missional Mosaic - Red Letters (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Red Letters In some Bibles, the words of Jesus are denoted by being printed in red. The Red Letters grab our attention and remind us that the Teacher himself is speaking. As we join Jesus on his journey to Jerusalem over these next several weeks, we will focus on the Red Letters found in the gospel of Luke and open our hearts afresh to what God wants to say to us this Lenten season. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1582582003684-XI31DUA6YIIHD87F3D1W/Surprise+The+World+Featured+Image+2.jpg Missional Mosaic - Surprise The World (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Surprise The World Clarksburg desires to love our neighbors the same way that Jesus loved his: by demonstrating and announcing that Heaven has come to Earth. It sounds complicated and often leaves us feeling like we don’t know where to start, we aren’t enough to make it happen, or we are being inauthentic to who we actually are. But at Clarksburg, we believe that there is a way we can see the church as a group of ordinary people who are all sent to announce and demonstrate the reign of God through Christ in the places that we live, work, and play, without expecting ourselves to be something that we are not or something less than we should be. We have identified some rhythms and habits, a Rule of Life, that Clarksburg can incorporate into their everyday life to live out this mission: Bless, Eat, Listen, Learn, Sent. While the words have changed to be more clear and simple from the former Rule of Life, the values and implementation are the same. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1580329313613-7T389N0Z2Z7W4U8L5P3E/image-asset.jpeg Missional Mosaic - The Extravagance: December 2019 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) The Extravagance: December 2019 Scripture is clear. Jesus came to earth not to take but to give. His incarnation, his ministry, and ultimately, his death on a cross were all acts of extravagant generosity. God gave his one and only Son for you and me. It was the supreme act of generosity. In Jesus, we see the perfect reflection of The Extravagance of God. Those who follow Jesus are called to exhibit the same kind of extravagant generosity in their own lives. Extravagant generosity is not a momentary act. It is a way of living. It is a way of seeing the world and seeing others. Extravagant generosity gives oxygen to God’s mission to redeem and restore. It’s generous people that God uses to change the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575567956302-QF4OSE4KQ91YMAV859RF/Undone02%28SeriesTitle%29+%282%29.png Missional Mosaic - Undone: November-December 2019 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Undone: November-December 2019 Why did Jesus come to earth? What was his ministry all about? It’s easy to miss the real purpose of Jesus’ ministry if we fail to see it within the context of the Old Testament. The entire Old Testament narrative from Genesis to Malachi is a stark reminder of the damaging impact of sin. Relationships are severed. The vulnerable are ignored. Self is deified. Power is king. The cycle of disobedience, repentance, empty promises that then lead to even greater disobedience is repeated over and over again. Luke reminds us that it is into this world of brokenness that Jesus arrives. From the very beginning of his ministry, Jesus clearly proclaims that he is the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies. He has come to heal the sick, binds up the broken, frees the enslaved and proclaims God’s saving grace. He has come to undo the ravaging effect of sin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568075835-AUXMNV6IB6I4ABPDGFLV/Full+BG+WagingWar05%28Layered%29+%281%29.png Missional Mosaic - Waging War: The Book of Judges (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Waging War: The Book of Judges Don't lose sight of how Judges fits into the overarching story of Scripture. Creation=perfect. Sin=everything is messed up, but God wants to restore and redeem the whole world so it is set right again. Makes a promise with Abraham and family to use them to be family through which he redeems and restores the whole world, and they are promised blessing, a name, and land. And in return, they will live in a way that will represent who God is to the rest of the world... to all the people and nations around them. He is calling to live this counter-cultural life that reflects God's image and character instead of their own. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568078938-EYIFOYNMDTNMEG4H3C1A/promised_OG.jpg Missional Mosaic - Promised (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Promised This four-week study in the book of Genesis that focuses on Abraham and his descendants (Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph). These four characters in the biblical narrative are a reflection of all of us. They are a complex mixture of faithfulness and faithlessness. They want to trust God, but often they do just the opposite. Their stories are fascinating, compelling and messy. As we study them, we are reminded that God will accomplish what he has promised – no matter what. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568115791-L7YWLAXOBKHUG8XB3K6P/RFM_OG.jpg Missional Mosaic - Seven: A Study of Revelation (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Seven: A Study of Revelation The book of Revelation is a vision given by God to John while he was exiled on the Island of Patmos because of his outspoken witness to Jesus Christ. We’ve entitled the series Seven because the number seven is a symbol of completeness and is woven into every single part of the book. Revelation relies on visions, symbols and Old Testament references to reveal the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promises that were given to Abraham in Genesis. However, the book of Revelation is not a secret code that allows believers to decipher the timeline of Jesus’ return. It’s a letter written by a man under persecution to seven churches located in Asia (an area that is now a part of modern-day Turkey) who are also under persecution. It’s written as both an encouragement and a challenge. As the concluding book of the Bible, Revelation is a powerful reminder that Jesus has overcome evil by his death and resurrection and will return one day as the true King of the world to remove evil permanently and make all things new. And it is this promise that has motivated every generation of God’s people to remain faithful in the midst of the inevitable challenges of life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568654713-MPV2G8AH37FSRPDMWCMY/RFM+Main.png Missional Mosaic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568731532-05S8UTVRW0HQVQF08388/ATM+Title+Slide.png Missional Mosaic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568763830-23AYXR3MHKOKWYCHAGWV/Letters%28Layered%29+%281%29.jpg Missional Mosaic - Letters (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Letters Philippians, Philemon Colossians and Ephesians are collectively referred to as the "Prison Letters." The Apostle Paul wrote them while he was imprisoned in Rome. The prison was probably a house where Paul was kept under close guard at all times (probably chained to a soldier). But he was given a number of freedoms not offered to most prisoners. Among them was the freedom to write letters and receive visitors. Living out God’s calling on our lives doesn’t always lead us to the places or the situations we had envisioned. It certainly didn’t for Paul. It led him to a prison in Rome. Prison was not the place Paul wanted to be, but he had confidence that God could use even this situation to accomplish the mission to which he had been called. It’s because of his trust and belief in God that he could communicate to the church at Philippi how he could be filled with joy despite his imprisonment and upcoming trial. Sometimes, like Paul, we find ourselves in situations where our initial response is “I don’t want to be here.” But God can use even our hardships for his glory and give us overwhelming joy as we live out God’s mission for our life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568778159-OJ49CM6INRWKB5FGO2EH/Dead-Man-Walking_i2_Main.jpg Missional Mosaic - Dead Man Walking (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Dead Man Walking “Dead man walking” is a poignant way to describe the incarnate life and ministry of Jesus. His death was so imminent, so certain, so real that it loomed over every step he took toward Jerusalem and the cross. As the time drew closer, Jesus spoke about it with his disciples. Several instances are recorded by Matthew in his gospel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568792899-ZBCWE7NOJ39EV7BNSV6O/InGodWeTrust.jpg Missional Mosaic - In God We Trust (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) In God We Trust "In God We Trust." It is printed on every piece of money. But does the way that we use money actually reflect the slogan that is printed on it? We seek to spend more and to buy more without contentment or limit, we fail to save, we go into debt, and rarely find enough to share. If we started with the idea of Trusting God, is this how we would use our money? When we began with the foundational principle of trusting God, it would radically change the way that we used our money. We would give God our firsts, spend less to buy less, save more, break our debts, and give more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568808812-U1K6RKO10IZ3L8B32HR4/Resolve_January+Sermon+Series+Brand.jpg Missional Mosaic - Resolve (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Resolve did you know that only 6% of resolutions are kept? That doesn’t mean that making them is futile. Setting goals is really important. But what we sometimes overlook is all the broken patterns and obstacles and old habits and pull of the enemy that are working against us in succeeding in those goals. These things act like forces slowly eroding our resolve to go after the things that we deeply desire and long for. Re-enforce resolve=habits. RESOLVE. We have to find ways to re-enforce our resolve to keep pressing in and pursuing. The biggest way to keep going is by creating new habits and systems that are embedded into our every day lives that continuously renew our resolve, speak truth to lies, and encourage us to continue towards the life that God is calling us towards. So in this new series call Resolve, we are looking at three underlying habits and systems that if put into practice, will help us keep going so that we might experience a year that is filled with all that God desires for us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/708ff7fe-f363-4a5d-8a4d-0988be4417d0/1.jpg

Prophets (Copy) Kings and Prophets What we love about scripture is that it is not just some historical documents that are supposed to tell us what we are and are not supposed to believe. Instead, it is living and active. It works in us and through us to transform us through the power of Holy Spirit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1665412084327-VO0WTW62YQ3510K2XGZ3/image-asset.jpeg Past Sermon Series - Behind the Scenes: The Book of Ruth (Copy) Behind the Scenes: The Book of Ruth The book of Ruth is a portion of scripture that demonstrates the degree to which God is always at work behind the scenes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1662986318755-I9B9VPYA3UFRT7B31SQB/image-asset.png Past Sermon Series - Beyond Entertaining (Copy) Beyond Entertaining Jesus came eating and drinking. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1658770430775-IMVRP6VEJI9OGYNG7OBL/ephesians.png Past Sermon Series - Ephesians (Copy) Ephesians Paul writes a letter to the church that we unpack during this ten-week sermon series. These letters are a reminder of how God has blessed you and me and how we are alive in Christ. It’s how Christ transforms our lives and how we become part of a new humanity, which means we live totally and completely differently. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1651509714319-8337CN0EC7RKRFL308JM/image-asset.png Past Sermon Series - Fasting and Feasting (Copy) Fasting and Feasting This series uncovers what we most long for and asks God to satisfy our hunger to fill our emptiness. Throughout Scripture, God uses food (or lack thereof) to uncover our deepest longings and hunger. Sometimes, God uses food to satiate our bellies and create a place where God can meet us and fill our spirit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1644959800095-WGMPES1911GEOTWGA750/image-asset.jpeg Past Sermon Series - Psalms (Copy) Psalms Prayer is THE THING that allows us to re-charge the very core of who we were created to be in the presence of the God who created us. So it is not only important that we take the time to engage with the practice, but also learn how to pray. That is what the Psalms teach us to do. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/b6547f67-4362-4c44-8af8-953f4824a57b/image-asset.png Past Sermon Series - A Present Christmas (Copy) A Present Christmas We are captivated by stories of the ‘suddenly’ of the scriptures. We often think of God’s intervention as immediate and instant. But we forget the longer work of preparation. What took place before the suddenly. How can our faithfulness to what God asks us to do, that seems ordinary, be a place of Divine connection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1632851171249-GEFUNZ4N5EMDL98FNNXW/image-asset.jpeg Past Sermon Series - Exodus (Copy) Exodus The book of Exodus is all about freedom. It is the second book of the Bible and begins with the context that the family of Abraham (God’s chosen people, now led by Jacob) have moved down to Egypt. Now the rest of the book is a journey of the people of God into freedom. Throughout the book, God reveals himself as the God who rescues, the God who redeems, who sets free. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1631721579645-PGGWL5UO8P48S5H3AB1L/Town+Hall+Slide+copy.jpg Past Sermon Series - Town Hall Service (Copy) Town Hall Service As a church, we are different than we were two years ago. So where are we going? How are we getting there? And what does this look like? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1632924080815-8HK8FDENGMM31I253F5E/image-asset.jpeg Past Sermon Series - Fractured (Copy) Fractured Life is hard. But the New Testament book of James (written by the half-brother of Jesus), reminds us that suffering is a paradoxical gift that can show us any fractures in our faith. In other words, the fracturing of our world reveals the integrity or inauthenticity of our faith. God can use these trials to fulfill his mission to help us become complete, whole, integrated, and perfect. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1626877976592-L4OHW6IBBTI4FZD2IH48/image-asset.jpeg Past Sermon Series - The Believers (Copy) The Believers Instead of following the Holy Spirit to cross all barriers, the Church has often been responsible for creating barriers, boundaries, and obstacles to participating in the Kingdom. Acts has something new (or old) to each of us all. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1618501951949-4UC1MXX8VQP1Q9SLCT2D/image-asset.jpeg Past Sermon Series - That You May Have Life (Copy) That You May Have Life These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. -John 20:31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1614790928073-AH7516TRD645HLOA7ZAA/image-asset.jpeg Past Sermon Series - The Art of Living (Copy) The Art of Living When we have wisdom, we are skilled in the art of living. Proverbs isn't a book that tells us what to do, or what will happen if we do it. It is a collection of insight from God's people handed down to us to help us become the artists of our own lives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1611859711803-XQCHNHJO8YFR235QP2PD/image-asset.jpeg Past Sermon Series - Surprise Your Few (Copy) Surprise Your Few We believe that there is a way we can see the church as a group of ordinary people who are all sent to announce and demonstrate the reign of God through Christ in the places that we live, work, and play, without expecting ourselves to be something that we are not or something less than we should be. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1609960568654-FEQQYVCID1OZ9CO6AIY7/image-asset.png Past Sermon Series - Enough (Copy) Enough It is easy to focus on the things that we have had enough of. But in every one of those situations, we also have an opportunity to witness that God is enough for us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1607372623142-Y1M1Y4H05BKP50M7CPF7/image-asset.jpeg Past Sermon Series - Messiah (Copy) Messiah In our current culture that is filled with “messiahs” who promise to bring healing to our broken world, Mark reminds us of the one Messiah who can actually deliver on that promise. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1601910341947-UZZS1P4CQT1F3GKNR03J/image-asset.jpeg Past Sermon Series - Beyond The Ruins (Copy) Beyond The Ruins Isaiah is called to deliver a message of hope to the people: salvation will come out of the ruins. As the people of God, we too are called to deliver that same message: There is hope beyond the ruin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1600099797188-2DRW30IPTUAG661H6LY8/image-asset.jpeg Past Sermon Series - All Together Now (Copy) All Together Now Did you know that singing dictates when our lungs breathe AND when our hearts beat? So when we sing together our breath and our heats sync together as one. In a time when we may feel disconnected and scattered, singing is a way that we can be united together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1597092040417-Q2HABRFMUD33QCHS8XF7/image-asset.jpeg Past Sermon Series - Act Justly (Copy) Act Justly The call to pursue justice is not merely the reaction to a cultural moment. It is a biblical call. It is God’s call. It is proclaimed in the Old Testament, found at the heart of Jesus’ ministry, fulfilled on the cross, realized at Christ’s return, and should be passionately lived out by all who follow Jesus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1594063556602-632RNFPHQ4H1WQY3EM6T/image-asset.jpeg Past Sermon Series - Driftwood Hope (Copy) Driftwood Hope In the Biblical story, there is a long history of those whose expectations of life have also been dashed on the rocks. By listening to the voices who have weathered past storms we too might learn to find hope by clinging to the driftwood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1618515630610-6M04TDV14FWH6O33JQ9O/Red+Letters+Title+HD.jpg Past Sermon Series - Red Letters (Copy) Red Letters In some Bibles, the words of Jesus are denoted by being printed in red. The Red Letters grab our attention and remind us that the Teacher himself is speaking. As we join Jesus on his journey to Jerusalem over these next several weeks, we will focus on the Red Letters found in the gospel of Luke and open our hearts afresh to what God wants to say to us this Lenten season. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1582582003684-XI31DUA6YIIHD87F3D1W/Surprise+The+World+Featured+Image+2.jpg Past Sermon Series - Surprise The World (Copy) Surprise The World Clarksburg desires to love our neighbors the same way that Jesus loved his: by demonstrating and announcing that Heaven has come to Earth. It sounds complicated and often leaves us feeling like we don’t know where to start, we aren’t enough to make it happen, or we are being inauthentic to who we actually are. But at Clarksburg, we believe that there is a way we can see the church as a group of ordinary people who are all sent to announce and demonstrate the reign of God through Christ in the places that we live, work, and play, without expecting ourselves to be something that we are not or something less than we should be. We have identified some rhythms and habits, a Rule of Life, that Clarksburg can incorporate into their everyday life to live out this mission: Bless, Eat, Listen, Learn, Sent. While the words have changed to be more clear and simple from the former Rule of Life, the values and implementation are the same. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1580329313613-7T389N0Z2Z7W4U8L5P3E/image-asset.jpeg Past Sermon Series - The Extravagance: December 2019 (Copy) The Extravagance: December 2019 Scripture is clear. Jesus came to earth not to take but to give. His incarnation, his ministry, and ultimately, his death on a cross were all acts of extravagant generosity. God gave his one and only Son for you and me. It was the supreme act of generosity. In Jesus, we see the perfect reflection of The Extravagance of God. Those who follow Jesus are called to exhibit the same kind of extravagant generosity in their own lives. Extravagant generosity is not a momentary act. It is a way of living. It is a way of seeing the world and seeing others. Extravagant generosity gives oxygen to God’s mission to redeem and restore. It’s generous people that God uses to change the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575567956302-QF4OSE4KQ91YMAV859RF/Undone02%28SeriesTitle%29+%282%29.png Past Sermon Series - Undone: November-December 2019 (Copy) Undone: November-December 2019 Why did Jesus come to earth? What was his ministry all about? It’s easy to miss the real purpose of Jesus’ ministry if we fail to see it within the context of the Old Testament. The entire Old Testament narrative from Genesis to Malachi is a stark reminder of the damaging impact of sin. Relationships are severed. The vulnerable are ignored. Self is deified. Power is king. The cycle of disobedience, repentance, empty promises that then lead to even greater disobedience is repeated over and over again. Luke reminds us that it is into this world of brokenness that Jesus arrives. From the very beginning of his ministry, Jesus clearly proclaims that he is the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies. He has come to heal the sick, binds up the broken, frees the enslaved and proclaims God’s saving grace. He has come to undo the ravaging effect of sin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568075835-AUXMNV6IB6I4ABPDGFLV/Full+BG+WagingWar05%28Layered%29+%281%29.png Past Sermon Series - Waging War: The Book of Judges (Copy) Waging War: The Book of Judges Don't lose sight of how Judges fits into the overarching story of Scripture. Creation=perfect. Sin=everything is messed up, but God wants to restore and redeem the whole world so it is set right again. Makes a promise with Abraham and family to use them to be family through which he redeems and restores the whole world, and they are promised blessing, a name, and land. And in return, they will live in a way that will represent who God is to the rest of the world... to all the people and nations around them. He is calling to live this counter-cultural life that reflects God's image and character instead of their own. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568078938-EYIFOYNMDTNMEG4H3C1A/promised_OG.jpg Past Sermon Series - Promised (Copy) Promised This four-week study in the book of Genesis that focuses on Abraham and his descendants (Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph). These four characters in the biblical narrative are a reflection of all of us. They are a complex mixture of faithfulness and faithlessness. They want to trust God, but often they do just the opposite. Their stories are fascinating, compelling and messy. As we study them, we are reminded that God will accomplish what he has promised – no matter what. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568115791-L7YWLAXOBKHUG8XB3K6P/RFM_OG.jpg Past Sermon Series - Seven: A Study of Revelation (Copy) Seven: A Study of Revelation The book of Revelation is a vision given by God to John while he was exiled on the Island of Patmos because of his outspoken witness to Jesus Christ. We’ve entitled the series Seven because the number seven is a symbol of completeness and is woven into every single part of the book. Revelation relies on visions, symbols and Old Testament references to reveal the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promises that were given to Abraham in Genesis. However, the book of Revelation is not a secret code that allows believers to decipher the timeline of Jesus’ return. It’s a letter written by a man under persecution to seven churches located in Asia (an area that is now a part of modern-day Turkey) who are also under persecution. It’s written as both an encouragement and a challenge. As the concluding book of the Bible, Revelation is a powerful reminder that Jesus has overcome evil by his death and resurrection and will return one day as the true King of the world to remove evil permanently and make all things new. And it is this promise that has motivated every generation of God’s people to remain faithful in the midst of the inevitable challenges of life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568654713-MPV2G8AH37FSRPDMWCMY/RFM+Main.png Past Sermon Series https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568731532-05S8UTVRW0HQVQF08388/ATM+Title+Slide.png Past Sermon Series https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568763830-23AYXR3MHKOKWYCHAGWV/Letters%28Layered%29+%281%29.jpg Past Sermon Series - Letters (Copy) Letters Philippians, Philemon Colossians and Ephesians are collectively referred to as the "Prison Letters." The Apostle Paul wrote them while he was imprisoned in Rome. The prison was probably a house where Paul was kept under close guard at all times (probably chained to a soldier). But he was given a number of freedoms not offered to most prisoners. Among them was the freedom to write letters and receive visitors. Living out God’s calling on our lives doesn’t always lead us to the places or the situations we had envisioned. It certainly didn’t for Paul. It led him to a prison in Rome. Prison was not the place Paul wanted to be, but he had confidence that God could use even this situation to accomplish the mission to which he had been called. It’s because of his trust and belief in God that he could communicate to the church at Philippi how he could be filled with joy despite his imprisonment and upcoming trial. Sometimes, like Paul, we find ourselves in situations where our initial response is “I don’t want to be here.” But God can use even our hardships for his glory and give us overwhelming joy as we live out God’s mission for our life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568778159-OJ49CM6INRWKB5FGO2EH/Dead-Man-Walking_i2_Main.jpg Past Sermon Series - Dead Man Walking (Copy) Dead Man Walking “Dead man walking” is a poignant way to describe the incarnate life and ministry of Jesus. His death was so imminent, so certain, so real that it loomed over every step he took toward Jerusalem and the cross. As the time drew closer, Jesus spoke about it with his disciples. Several instances are recorded by Matthew in his gospel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568792899-ZBCWE7NOJ39EV7BNSV6O/InGodWeTrust.jpg Past Sermon Series - In God We Trust (Copy) In God We Trust "In God We Trust." It is printed on every piece of money. But does the way that we use money actually reflect the slogan that is printed on it? We seek to spend more and to buy more without contentment or limit, we fail to save, we go into debt, and rarely find enough to share. If we started with the idea of Trusting God, is this how we would use our money? When we began with the foundational principle of trusting God, it would radically change the way that we used our money. We would give God our firsts, spend less to buy less, save more, break our debts, and give more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568808812-U1K6RKO10IZ3L8B32HR4/Resolve_January+Sermon+Series+Brand.jpg Past Sermon Series - Resolve (Copy) Resolve did you know that only 6% of resolutions are kept? That doesn’t mean that making them is futile. Setting goals is really important. But what we sometimes overlook is all the broken patterns and obstacles and old habits and pull of the enemy that are working against us in succeeding in those goals. These things act like forces slowly eroding our resolve to go after the things that we deeply desire and long for. Re-enforce resolve=habits. RESOLVE. We have to find ways to re-enforce our resolve to keep pressing in and pursuing. The biggest way to keep going is by creating new habits and systems that are embedded into our every day lives that continuously renew our resolve, speak truth to lies, and encourage us to continue towards the life that God is calling us towards. So in this new series call Resolve, we are looking at three underlying habits and systems that if put into practice, will help us keep going so that we might experience a year that is filled with all that God desires for us. https://www.clarksburgchurch.com/stop-settle daily 0.75 2024-05-09

It sounds complicated and often leaves us feeling like we don’t know where to start, we aren’t enough to make it happen, or we are being inauthentic to who we actually are. But at Clarksburg, we believe that there is a way we can see the church as a group of ordinary people who are all sent to announce and demonstrate the reign of God through Christ in the places that we live, work, and play, without expecting ourselves to be something that we are not or something less than we should be. We have identified some rhythms and habits, a Rule of Life, that Clarksburg can incorporate into their everyday life to live out this mission: Bless, Eat, Listen, Learn, Sent. While the words have changed to be more clear and simple from the former Rule of Life, the values and implementation are the same. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1580329313613-7T389N0Z2Z7W4U8L5P3E/image-asset.jpeg The Just Savior - The Extravagance: December 2019 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) The Extravagance: December 2019 Scripture is clear. Jesus came to earth not to take but to give. His incarnation, his ministry, and ultimately, his death on a cross were all acts of extravagant generosity. God gave his one and only Son for you and me. It was the supreme act of generosity. In Jesus, we see the perfect reflection of The Extravagance of God. Those who follow Jesus are called to exhibit the same kind of extravagant generosity in their own lives. Extravagant generosity is not a momentary act. It is a way of living. It is a way of seeing the world and seeing others. Extravagant generosity gives oxygen to God’s mission to redeem and restore. It’s generous people that God uses to change the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575567956302-QF4OSE4KQ91YMAV859RF/Undone02%28SeriesTitle%29+%282%29.png The Just Savior - Undone: November-December 2019 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Undone: November-December 2019 Why did Jesus come to earth? What was his ministry all about? It’s easy to miss the real purpose of Jesus’ ministry if we fail to see it within the context of the Old Testament. The entire Old Testament narrative from Genesis to Malachi is a stark reminder of the damaging impact of sin. Relationships are severed. The vulnerable are ignored. Self is deified. Power is king. The cycle of disobedience, repentance, empty promises that then lead to even greater disobedience is repeated over and over again. Luke reminds us that it is into this world of brokenness that Jesus arrives. From the very beginning of his ministry, Jesus clearly proclaims that he is the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies. He has come to heal the sick, binds up the broken, frees the enslaved and proclaims God’s saving grace. He has come to undo the ravaging effect of sin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568075835-AUXMNV6IB6I4ABPDGFLV/Full+BG+WagingWar05%28Layered%29+%281%29.png The Just Savior - Waging War: The Book of Judges (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Waging War: The Book of Judges Don't lose sight of how Judges fits into the overarching story of Scripture. Creation=perfect. Sin=everything is messed up, but God wants to restore and redeem the whole world so it is set right again. Makes a promise with Abraham and family to use them to be family through which he redeems and restores the whole world, and they are promised blessing, a name, and land. And in return, they will live in a way that will represent who God is to the rest of the world... to all the people and nations around them. He is calling to live this counter-cultural life that reflects God's image and character instead of their own. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568078938-EYIFOYNMDTNMEG4H3C1A/promised_OG.jpg The Just Savior - Promised (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Promised This four-week study in the book of Genesis that focuses on Abraham and his descendants (Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph). These four characters in the biblical narrative are a reflection of all of us. They are a complex mixture of faithfulness and faithlessness. They want to trust God, but often they do just the opposite. Their stories are fascinating, compelling and messy. As we study them, we are reminded that God will accomplish what he has promised – no matter what. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568115791-L7YWLAXOBKHUG8XB3K6P/RFM_OG.jpg The Just Savior - Seven: A Study of Revelation (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Seven: A Study of Revelation The book of Revelation is a vision given by God to John while he was exiled on the Island of Patmos because of his outspoken witness to Jesus Christ. We’ve entitled the series Seven because the number seven is a symbol of completeness and is woven into every single part of the book. Revelation relies on visions, symbols and Old Testament references to reveal the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promises that were given to Abraham in Genesis. However, the book of Revelation is not a secret code that allows believers to decipher the timeline of Jesus’ return. It’s a letter written by a man under persecution to seven churches located in Asia (an area that is now a part of modern-day Turkey) who are also under persecution. It’s written as both an encouragement and a challenge. As the concluding book of the Bible, Revelation is a powerful reminder that Jesus has overcome evil by his death and resurrection and will return one day as the true King of the world to remove evil permanently and make all things new. And it is this promise that has motivated every generation of God’s people to remain faithful in the midst of the inevitable challenges of life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568654713-MPV2G8AH37FSRPDMWCMY/RFM+Main.png The Just Savior https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568731532-05S8UTVRW0HQVQF08388/ATM+Title+Slide.png The Just Savior https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568763830-23AYXR3MHKOKWYCHAGWV/Letters%28Layered%29+%281%29.jpg The Just Savior - Letters (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Letters Philippians, Philemon Colossians and Ephesians are collectively referred to as the "Prison Letters." The Apostle Paul wrote them while he was imprisoned in Rome. The prison was probably a house where Paul was kept under close guard at all times (probably chained to a soldier). But he was given a number of freedoms not offered to most prisoners. Among them was the freedom to write letters and receive visitors. Living out God’s calling on our lives doesn’t always lead us to the places or the situations we had envisioned. It certainly didn’t for Paul. It led him to a prison in Rome. Prison was not the place Paul wanted to be, but he had confidence that God could use even this situation to accomplish the mission to which he had been called. It’s because of his trust and belief in God that he could communicate to the church at Philippi how he could be filled with joy despite his imprisonment and upcoming trial. Sometimes, like Paul, we find ourselves in situations where our initial response is “I don’t want to be here.” But God can use even our hardships for his glory and give us overwhelming joy as we live out God’s mission for our life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568778159-OJ49CM6INRWKB5FGO2EH/Dead-Man-Walking_i2_Main.jpg The Just Savior - Dead Man Walking (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Dead Man Walking “Dead man walking” is a poignant way to describe the incarnate life and ministry of Jesus. His death was so imminent, so certain, so real that it loomed over every step he took toward Jerusalem and the cross. As the time drew closer, Jesus spoke about it with his disciples. Several instances are recorded by Matthew in his gospel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568792899-ZBCWE7NOJ39EV7BNSV6O/InGodWeTrust.jpg The Just Savior - In God We Trust (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) In God We Trust "In God We Trust." It is printed on every piece of money. But does the way that we use money actually reflect the slogan that is printed on it? We seek to spend more and to buy more without contentment or limit, we fail to save, we go into debt, and rarely find enough to share. If we started with the idea of Trusting God, is this how we would use our money? When we began with the foundational principle of trusting God, it would radically change the way that we used our money. We would give God our firsts, spend less to buy less, save more, break our debts, and give more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568808812-U1K6RKO10IZ3L8B32HR4/Resolve_January+Sermon+Series+Brand.jpg The Just Savior - Resolve (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Resolve did you know that only 6% of resolutions are kept? That doesn’t mean that making them is futile. Setting goals is really important. But what we sometimes overlook is all the broken patterns and obstacles and old habits and pull of the enemy that are working against us in succeeding in those goals. These things act like forces slowly eroding our resolve to go after the things that we deeply desire and long for. Re-enforce resolve=habits. RESOLVE. We have to find ways to re-enforce our resolve to keep pressing in and pursuing. The biggest way to keep going is by creating new habits and systems that are embedded into our every day lives that continuously renew our resolve, speak truth to lies, and encourage us to continue towards the life that God is calling us towards. So in this new series call Resolve, we are looking at three underlying habits and systems that if put into practice, will help us keep going so that we might experience a year that is filled with all that God desires for us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/c4971593-aa41-44c8-9c1a-3293bbef7bd5/The+Just+Savior.jpg https://www.clarksburgchurch.com/sermons daily 0.75 2026-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/f3103363-d8d1-492e-89d2-de9af4037d72/No+Mere+Man+Sermon.png Sermons No Mere Man https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/e2c21b73-3dc7-49fa-9ac8-b79efdf07f27/HeartofWorship.webp Sermons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/2a156b3d-c468-4d57-8b01-21b03f7bd36a/GIVING+slide+%2836%29.png Sermons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/4f24bbad-8b8a-423a-9df2-4e489eb999d9/The+Royal+Priesthood+%284%29.png Sermons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/68c68fcf-1ca9-45f7-98e9-8f49835d5a0a/Not+Me+Lord+Title+Slide.png Sermons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/8262a15e-d2fd-4cd7-a142-6538e97e4ee3/Good+Fruit+Title+Slide.png Sermons Good Fruit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/a6e9ada2-d058-4506-a721-224c679a2f22/1.jpg Sermons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/d57d2095-7e61-4336-a6c3-e803d5a5f034/1.png Sermons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/cc086d00-c00a-4fdd-ba57-f11f43e09f5b/1.jpg Sermons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/52770b5a-adb0-4a65-b3ab-d3df6e5bdc17/Living+Bells.jpg Sermons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/81bc6811-58c2-4921-b662-519b53beb301/The+Gospel+In+Carols.jpg Sermons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/c1bd0e2a-17d9-465a-a42a-089458ae7b38/A+Heart+of+Holiness+Graphic.jpg Sermons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/cf09d45f-fa58-4fec-9447-b7410285606f/Kingdom+Economics.jpg Sermons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/b5f77bba-49e0-489d-a4ca-11e4dcd18a1c/A+new+lens.jpg Sermons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/708ff7fe-f363-4a5d-8a4d-0988be4417d0/1.jpg Sermons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/c4971593-aa41-44c8-9c1a-3293bbef7bd5/The+Just+Savior.jpg Sermons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/d392292e-d631-4f17-a87d-95d2023cbb06/1.jpg Sermons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1704723987505-RXYWURW7J83H8XKY8RBG/2.jpg Sermons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/cc2137af-e145-4fb3-a337-6874fa48633e/surprised.jpg Sermons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/5559814e-455b-42ff-b4f1-23a41252842d/More+Than+Enough.jpg Sermons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/2a000692-d1d4-4f56-88d3-f660ac0f5628/OriginStoriesGraphic.jpg Sermons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1694540499522-FD61WPN6B2RTYZO15D3S/narratives-around-fire.jpg Sermons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/e264eb3a-2060-43ed-bfbc-4d29efad9c36/Black+Illustrated+Floral+Line+Art+Prayer+Journal+Book+Cover+%28Presentation+%28169%29%29.jpg Sermons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/49a13c3f-108c-4b9d-9b58-6926dbdbde6c/Reading+Hebrew+Logo.jpg Sermons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/de4e8c77-2e39-4ace-b135-bb65dee59aaa/334612166_160255226857324_2542893905828679988_n.jpg Sermons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/5e443b9e-14f2-4fc6-89c7-ef6c4fe6770e/Black+Colorful+Abstract+Be+Creative+Facebook+Cover.png Sermons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/0c3bcfe0-6a72-4e09-9017-ef1fde851928/goodnews.jpg Sermons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/e1369b3b-aba8-4b97-a513-39799f808767/Need+A.png Sermons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/f1df60dc-d9fd-4f86-ae18-df27ee386aaa/The+King+has+Come+%286%29.png Sermons - The King Has Come (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) The King Has Come https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1670356312244-URNTO7KLVHXD5OMO4FWO/Kings-and-Prophets-Artwork-1920x1080%2B%25281%2529.jpg Sermons - Kings and Prophets (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Kings and Prophets What we love about scripture is that it is not just some historical documents that are supposed to tell us what we are and are not supposed to believe.

It sounds complicated and often leaves us feeling like we don’t know where to start, we aren’t enough to make it happen, or we are being inauthentic to who we actually are. But at Clarksburg, we believe that there is a way we can see the church as a group of ordinary people who are all sent to announce and demonstrate the reign of God through Christ in the places that we live, work, and play, without expecting ourselves to be something that we are not or something less than we should be. We have identified some rhythms and habits, a Rule of Life, that Clarksburg can incorporate into their everyday life to live out this mission: Bless, Eat, Listen, Learn, Sent. While the words have changed to be more clear and simple from the former Rule of Life, the values and implementation are the same. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1580329313613-7T389N0Z2Z7W4U8L5P3E/image-asset.jpeg Sermons - The Extravagance: December 2019 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) The Extravagance: December 2019 Scripture is clear. Jesus came to earth not to take but to give. His incarnation, his ministry, and ultimately, his death on a cross were all acts of extravagant generosity. God gave his one and only Son for you and me. It was the supreme act of generosity. In Jesus, we see the perfect reflection of The Extravagance of God. Those who follow Jesus are called to exhibit the same kind of extravagant generosity in their own lives. Extravagant generosity is not a momentary act. It is a way of living. It is a way of seeing the world and seeing others. Extravagant generosity gives oxygen to God’s mission to redeem and restore. It’s generous people that God uses to change the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575567956302-QF4OSE4KQ91YMAV859RF/Undone02%28SeriesTitle%29+%282%29.png Sermons - Undone: November-December 2019 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Undone: November-December 2019 Why did Jesus come to earth? What was his ministry all about? It’s easy to miss the real purpose of Jesus’ ministry if we fail to see it within the context of the Old Testament. The entire Old Testament narrative from Genesis to Malachi is a stark reminder of the damaging impact of sin. Relationships are severed. The vulnerable are ignored. Self is deified. Power is king. The cycle of disobedience, repentance, empty promises that then lead to even greater disobedience is repeated over and over again. Luke reminds us that it is into this world of brokenness that Jesus arrives. From the very beginning of his ministry, Jesus clearly proclaims that he is the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies. He has come to heal the sick, binds up the broken, frees the enslaved and proclaims God’s saving grace. He has come to undo the ravaging effect of sin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568075835-AUXMNV6IB6I4ABPDGFLV/Full+BG+WagingWar05%28Layered%29+%281%29.png Sermons - Waging War: The Book of Judges (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Waging War: The Book of Judges Don't lose sight of how Judges fits into the overarching story of Scripture. Creation=perfect. Sin=everything is messed up, but God wants to restore and redeem the whole world so it is set right again. Makes a promise with Abraham and family to use them to be family through which he redeems and restores the whole world, and they are promised blessing, a name, and land. And in return, they will live in a way that will represent who God is to the rest of the world... to all the people and nations around them. He is calling to live this counter-cultural life that reflects God's image and character instead of their own. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568078938-EYIFOYNMDTNMEG4H3C1A/promised_OG.jpg Sermons - Promised (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Promised This four-week study in the book of Genesis that focuses on Abraham and his descendants (Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph). These four characters in the biblical narrative are a reflection of all of us. They are a complex mixture of faithfulness and faithlessness. They want to trust God, but often they do just the opposite. Their stories are fascinating, compelling and messy. As we study them, we are reminded that God will accomplish what he has promised – no matter what. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568115791-L7YWLAXOBKHUG8XB3K6P/RFM_OG.jpg Sermons - Seven: A Study of Revelation (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Seven: A Study of Revelation The book of Revelation is a vision given by God to John while he was exiled on the Island of Patmos because of his outspoken witness to Jesus Christ. We’ve entitled the series Seven because the number seven is a symbol of completeness and is woven into every single part of the book. Revelation relies on visions, symbols and Old Testament references to reveal the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promises that were given to Abraham in Genesis. However, the book of Revelation is not a secret code that allows believers to decipher the timeline of Jesus’ return. It’s a letter written by a man under persecution to seven churches located in Asia (an area that is now a part of modern-day Turkey) who are also under persecution. It’s written as both an encouragement and a challenge. As the concluding book of the Bible, Revelation is a powerful reminder that Jesus has overcome evil by his death and resurrection and will return one day as the true King of the world to remove evil permanently and make all things new. And it is this promise that has motivated every generation of God’s people to remain faithful in the midst of the inevitable challenges of life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568654713-MPV2G8AH37FSRPDMWCMY/RFM+Main.png Sermons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568731532-05S8UTVRW0HQVQF08388/ATM+Title+Slide.png Sermons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568763830-23AYXR3MHKOKWYCHAGWV/Letters%28Layered%29+%281%29.jpg Sermons - Letters (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Letters Philippians, Philemon Colossians and Ephesians are collectively referred to as the "Prison Letters." The Apostle Paul wrote them while he was imprisoned in Rome. The prison was probably a house where Paul was kept under close guard at all times (probably chained to a soldier). But he was given a number of freedoms not offered to most prisoners. Among them was the freedom to write letters and receive visitors. Living out God’s calling on our lives doesn’t always lead us to the places or the situations we had envisioned. It certainly didn’t for Paul. It led him to a prison in Rome. Prison was not the place Paul wanted to be, but he had confidence that God could use even this situation to accomplish the mission to which he had been called. It’s because of his trust and belief in God that he could communicate to the church at Philippi how he could be filled with joy despite his imprisonment and upcoming trial. Sometimes, like Paul, we find ourselves in situations where our initial response is “I don’t want to be here.” But God can use even our hardships for his glory and give us overwhelming joy as we live out God’s mission for our life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568778159-OJ49CM6INRWKB5FGO2EH/Dead-Man-Walking_i2_Main.jpg Sermons - Dead Man Walking (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Dead Man Walking “Dead man walking” is a poignant way to describe the incarnate life and ministry of Jesus. His death was so imminent, so certain, so real that it loomed over every step he took toward Jerusalem and the cross. As the time drew closer, Jesus spoke about it with his disciples. Several instances are recorded by Matthew in his gospel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568792899-ZBCWE7NOJ39EV7BNSV6O/InGodWeTrust.jpg Sermons - In God We Trust (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) In God We Trust "In God We Trust." It is printed on every piece of money. But does the way that we use money actually reflect the slogan that is printed on it? We seek to spend more and to buy more without contentment or limit, we fail to save, we go into debt, and rarely find enough to share. If we started with the idea of Trusting God, is this how we would use our money? When we began with the foundational principle of trusting God, it would radically change the way that we used our money. We would give God our firsts, spend less to buy less, save more, break our debts, and give more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568808812-U1K6RKO10IZ3L8B32HR4/Resolve_January+Sermon+Series+Brand.jpg Sermons - Resolve (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Resolve did you know that only 6% of resolutions are kept? That doesn’t mean that making them is futile. Setting goals is really important. But what we sometimes overlook is all the broken patterns and obstacles and old habits and pull of the enemy that are working against us in succeeding in those goals. These things act like forces slowly eroding our resolve to go after the things that we deeply desire and long for. Re-enforce resolve=habits. RESOLVE. We have to find ways to re-enforce our resolve to keep pressing in and pursuing. The biggest way to keep going is by creating new habits and systems that are embedded into our every day lives that continuously renew our resolve, speak truth to lies, and encourage us to continue towards the life that God is calling us towards. So in this new series call Resolve, we are looking at three underlying habits and systems that if put into practice, will help us keep going so that we might experience a year that is filled with all that God desires for us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/7c8c82fb-6f21-4337-bcbe-763b793f3c5d/Palm+SundayEaster+Sunday.png https://www.clarksburgchurch.com/a-new-lens daily 0.75 2024-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/708ff7fe-f363-4a5d-8a4d-0988be4417d0/1.jpg A New Lens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/c4971593-aa41-44c8-9c1a-3293bbef7bd5/The+Just+Savior.jpg A New Lens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/d392292e-d631-4f17-a87d-95d2023cbb06/1.jpg A New Lens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1704723987505-RXYWURW7J83H8XKY8RBG/2.jpg A New Lens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/cc2137af-e145-4fb3-a337-6874fa48633e/surprised.jpg A New Lens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/5559814e-455b-42ff-b4f1-23a41252842d/More+Than+Enough.jpg A New Lens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/2a000692-d1d4-4f56-88d3-f660ac0f5628/OriginStoriesGraphic.jpg A New Lens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1694540499522-FD61WPN6B2RTYZO15D3S/narratives-around-fire.jpg A New Lens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/e264eb3a-2060-43ed-bfbc-4d29efad9c36/Black+Illustrated+Floral+Line+Art+Prayer+Journal+Book+Cover+%28Presentation+%28169%29%29.jpg A New Lens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/49a13c3f-108c-4b9d-9b58-6926dbdbde6c/Reading+Hebrew+Logo.jpg A New Lens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/de4e8c77-2e39-4ace-b135-bb65dee59aaa/334612166_160255226857324_2542893905828679988_n.jpg A New Lens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/5e443b9e-14f2-4fc6-89c7-ef6c4fe6770e/Black+Colorful+Abstract+Be+Creative+Facebook+Cover.png A New Lens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/0c3bcfe0-6a72-4e09-9017-ef1fde851928/goodnews.jpg A New Lens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/e1369b3b-aba8-4b97-a513-39799f808767/Need+A.png A New Lens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/f1df60dc-d9fd-4f86-ae18-df27ee386aaa/The+King+has+Come+%286%29.png A New Lens - The King Has Come (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) The King Has Come https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1670356312244-URNTO7KLVHXD5OMO4FWO/Kings-and-Prophets-Artwork-1920x1080%2B%25281%2529.jpg A New Lens - Kings and Prophets (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Kings and Prophets What we love about scripture is that it is not just some historical documents that are supposed to tell us what we are and are not supposed to believe.

But at Clarksburg, we believe that there is a way we can see the church as a group of ordinary people who are all sent to announce and demonstrate the reign of God through Christ in the places that we live, work, and play, without expecting ourselves to be something that we are not or something less than we should be. We have identified some rhythms and habits, a Rule of Life, that Clarksburg can incorporate into their everyday life to live out this mission: Bless, Eat, Listen, Learn, Sent.

Jesus came to earth not to take but to give. His incarnation, his ministry, and ultimately, his death on a cross were all acts of extravagant generosity. God gave his one and only Son for you and me. It was the supreme act of generosity. In Jesus, we see the perfect reflection of The Extravagance of God. Those who follow Jesus are called to exhibit the same kind of extravagant generosity in their own lives. Extravagant generosity is not a momentary act. It is a way of living. It is a way of seeing the world and seeing others. Extravagant generosity gives oxygen to God’s mission to redeem and restore. It’s generous people that God uses to change the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575567956302-QF4OSE4KQ91YMAV859RF/Undone02%28SeriesTitle%29+%282%29.png A New Lens - Undone: November-December 2019 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Undone: November-December 2019 Why did Jesus come to earth? What was his ministry all about? It’s easy to miss the real purpose of Jesus’ ministry if we fail to see it within the context of the Old Testament. The entire Old Testament narrative from Genesis to Malachi is a stark reminder of the damaging impact of sin. Relationships are severed. The vulnerable are ignored. Self is deified. Power is king. The cycle of disobedience, repentance, empty promises that then lead to even greater disobedience is repeated over and over again. Luke reminds us that it is into this world of brokenness that Jesus arrives. From the very beginning of his ministry, Jesus clearly proclaims that he is the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies. He has come to heal the sick, binds up the broken, frees the enslaved and proclaims God’s saving grace. He has come to undo the ravaging effect of sin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568075835-AUXMNV6IB6I4ABPDGFLV/Full+BG+WagingWar05%28Layered%29+%281%29.png A New Lens - Waging War: The Book of Judges (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Waging War: The Book of Judges Don't lose sight of how Judges fits into the overarching story of Scripture. Creation=perfect. Sin=everything is messed up, but God wants to restore and redeem the whole world so it is set right again. Makes a promise with Abraham and family to use them to be family through which he redeems and restores the whole world, and they are promised blessing, a name, and land. And in return, they will live in a way that will represent who God is to the rest of the world... to all the people and nations around them. He is calling to live this counter-cultural life that reflects God's image and character instead of their own. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568078938-EYIFOYNMDTNMEG4H3C1A/promised_OG.jpg A New Lens - Promised (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Promised This four-week study in the book of Genesis that focuses on Abraham and his descendants (Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph). These four characters in the biblical narrative are a reflection of all of us. They are a complex mixture of faithfulness and faithlessness. They want to trust God, but often they do just the opposite. Their stories are fascinating, compelling and messy. As we study them, we are reminded that God will accomplish what he has promised – no matter what. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568115791-L7YWLAXOBKHUG8XB3K6P/RFM_OG.jpg A New Lens - Seven: A Study of Revelation (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Seven: A Study of Revelation The book of Revelation is a vision given by God to John while he was exiled on the Island of Patmos because of his outspoken witness to Jesus Christ. We’ve entitled the series Seven because the number seven is a symbol of completeness and is woven into every single part of the book. Revelation relies on visions, symbols and Old Testament references to reveal the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promises that were given to Abraham in Genesis. However, the book of Revelation is not a secret code that allows believers to decipher the timeline of Jesus’ return. It’s a letter written by a man under persecution to seven churches located in Asia (an area that is now a part of modern-day Turkey) who are also under persecution. It’s written as both an encouragement and a challenge. As the concluding book of the Bible, Revelation is a powerful reminder that Jesus has overcome evil by his death and resurrection and will return one day as the true King of the world to remove evil permanently and make all things new. And it is this promise that has motivated every generation of God’s people to remain faithful in the midst of the inevitable challenges of life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568654713-MPV2G8AH37FSRPDMWCMY/RFM+Main.png A New Lens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568731532-05S8UTVRW0HQVQF08388/ATM+Title+Slide.png A New Lens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568763830-23AYXR3MHKOKWYCHAGWV/Letters%28Layered%29+%281%29.jpg A New Lens - Letters (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Letters Philippians, Philemon Colossians and Ephesians are collectively referred to as the "Prison Letters." The Apostle Paul wrote them while he was imprisoned in Rome. The prison was probably a house where Paul was kept under close guard at all times (probably chained to a soldier). But he was given a number of freedoms not offered to most prisoners. Among them was the freedom to write letters and receive visitors. Living out God’s calling on our lives doesn’t always lead us to the places or the situations we had envisioned. It certainly didn’t for Paul. It led him to a prison in Rome. Prison was not the place Paul wanted to be, but he had confidence that God could use even this situation to accomplish the mission to which he had been called. It’s because of his trust and belief in God that he could communicate to the church at Philippi how he could be filled with joy despite his imprisonment and upcoming trial. Sometimes, like Paul, we find ourselves in situations where our initial response is “I don’t want to be here.” But God can use even our hardships for his glory and give us overwhelming joy as we live out God’s mission for our life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568778159-OJ49CM6INRWKB5FGO2EH/Dead-Man-Walking_i2_Main.jpg A New Lens - Dead Man Walking (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Dead Man Walking “Dead man walking” is a poignant way to describe the incarnate life and ministry of Jesus. His death was so imminent, so certain, so real that it loomed over every step he took toward Jerusalem and the cross. As the time drew closer, Jesus spoke about it with his disciples. Several instances are recorded by Matthew in his gospel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568792899-ZBCWE7NOJ39EV7BNSV6O/InGodWeTrust.jpg A New Lens - In God We Trust (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) In God We Trust "In God We Trust." It is printed on every piece of money. But does the way that we use money actually reflect the slogan that is printed on it? We seek to spend more and to buy more without contentment or limit, we fail to save, we go into debt, and rarely find enough to share. If we started with the idea of Trusting God, is this how we would use our money? When we began with the foundational principle of trusting God, it would radically change the way that we used our money. We would give God our firsts, spend less to buy less, save more, break our debts, and give more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568808812-U1K6RKO10IZ3L8B32HR4/Resolve_January+Sermon+Series+Brand.jpg A New Lens - Resolve (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Resolve did you know that only 6% of resolutions are kept? That doesn’t mean that making them is futile. Setting goals is really important. But what we sometimes overlook is all the broken patterns and obstacles and old habits and pull of the enemy that are working against us in succeeding in those goals. These things act like forces slowly eroding our resolve to go after the things that we deeply desire and long for. Re-enforce resolve=habits. RESOLVE. We have to find ways to re-enforce our resolve to keep pressing in and pursuing. The biggest way to keep going is by creating new habits and systems that are embedded into our every day lives that continuously renew our resolve, speak truth to lies, and encourage us to continue towards the life that God is calling us towards. So in this new series call Resolve, we are looking at three underlying habits and systems that if put into practice, will help us keep going so that we might experience a year that is filled with all that God desires for us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/b5f77bba-49e0-489d-a4ca-11e4dcd18a1c/A+new+lens.jpg https://www.clarksburgchurch.com/kingdom-economics daily 0.75 2024-10-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/b5f77bba-49e0-489d-a4ca-11e4dcd18a1c/A+new+lens.jpg Kingdom Economics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/708ff7fe-f363-4a5d-8a4d-0988be4417d0/1.jpg Kingdom Economics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/c4971593-aa41-44c8-9c1a-3293bbef7bd5/The+Just+Savior.jpg Kingdom Economics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/d392292e-d631-4f17-a87d-95d2023cbb06/1.jpg Kingdom Economics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1704723987505-RXYWURW7J83H8XKY8RBG/2.jpg Kingdom Economics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/cc2137af-e145-4fb3-a337-6874fa48633e/surprised.jpg Kingdom Economics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/5559814e-455b-42ff-b4f1-23a41252842d/More+Than+Enough.jpg Kingdom Economics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/2a000692-d1d4-4f56-88d3-f660ac0f5628/OriginStoriesGraphic.jpg Kingdom Economics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1694540499522-FD61WPN6B2RTYZO15D3S/narratives-around-fire.jpg Kingdom Economics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/e264eb3a-2060-43ed-bfbc-4d29efad9c36/Black+Illustrated+Floral+Line+Art+Prayer+Journal+Book+Cover+%28Presentation+%28169%29%29.jpg Kingdom Economics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/49a13c3f-108c-4b9d-9b58-6926dbdbde6c/Reading+Hebrew+Logo.jpg Kingdom Economics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/de4e8c77-2e39-4ace-b135-bb65dee59aaa/334612166_160255226857324_2542893905828679988_n.jpg Kingdom Economics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/5e443b9e-14f2-4fc6-89c7-ef6c4fe6770e/Black+Colorful+Abstract+Be+Creative+Facebook+Cover.png Kingdom Economics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/0c3bcfe0-6a72-4e09-9017-ef1fde851928/goodnews.jpg Kingdom Economics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/e1369b3b-aba8-4b97-a513-39799f808767/Need+A.png Kingdom Economics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/f1df60dc-d9fd-4f86-ae18-df27ee386aaa/The+King+has+Come+%286%29.png Kingdom Economics - The King Has Come (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) The King Has Come https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1670356312244-URNTO7KLVHXD5OMO4FWO/Kings-and-Prophets-Artwork-1920x1080%2B%25281%2529.jpg Kingdom Economics - Kings and Prophets (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Kings and Prophets What we love about scripture is that it is not just some historical documents that are supposed to tell us what we are and are not supposed to believe.

But at Clarksburg, we believe that there is a way we can see the church as a group of ordinary people who are all sent to announce and demonstrate the reign of God through Christ in the places that we live, work, and play, without expecting ourselves to be something that we are not or something less than we should be. We have identified some rhythms and habits, a Rule of Life, that Clarksburg can incorporate into their everyday life to live out this mission: Bless, Eat, Listen, Learn, Sent.

Jesus came to earth not to take but to give. His incarnation, his ministry, and ultimately, his death on a cross were all acts of extravagant generosity. God gave his one and only Son for you and me. It was the supreme act of generosity. In Jesus, we see the perfect reflection of The Extravagance of God. Those who follow Jesus are called to exhibit the same kind of extravagant generosity in their own lives. Extravagant generosity is not a momentary act. It is a way of living. It is a way of seeing the world and seeing others. Extravagant generosity gives oxygen to God’s mission to redeem and restore. It’s generous people that God uses to change the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575567956302-QF4OSE4KQ91YMAV859RF/Undone02%28SeriesTitle%29+%282%29.png Kingdom Economics - Undone: November-December 2019 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Undone: November-December 2019 Why did Jesus come to earth? What was his ministry all about? It’s easy to miss the real purpose of Jesus’ ministry if we fail to see it within the context of the Old Testament. The entire Old Testament narrative from Genesis to Malachi is a stark reminder of the damaging impact of sin. Relationships are severed. The vulnerable are ignored. Self is deified. Power is king. The cycle of disobedience, repentance, empty promises that then lead to even greater disobedience is repeated over and over again. Luke reminds us that it is into this world of brokenness that Jesus arrives. From the very beginning of his ministry, Jesus clearly proclaims that he is the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies. He has come to heal the sick, binds up the broken, frees the enslaved and proclaims God’s saving grace. He has come to undo the ravaging effect of sin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568075835-AUXMNV6IB6I4ABPDGFLV/Full+BG+WagingWar05%28Layered%29+%281%29.png Kingdom Economics - Waging War: The Book of Judges (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Waging War: The Book of Judges Don't lose sight of how Judges fits into the overarching story of Scripture. Creation=perfect. Sin=everything is messed up, but God wants to restore and redeem the whole world so it is set right again. Makes a promise with Abraham and family to use them to be family through which he redeems and restores the whole world, and they are promised blessing, a name, and land. And in return, they will live in a way that will represent who God is to the rest of the world... to all the people and nations around them. He is calling to live this counter-cultural life that reflects God's image and character instead of their own. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568078938-EYIFOYNMDTNMEG4H3C1A/promised_OG.jpg Kingdom Economics - Promised (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Promised This four-week study in the book of Genesis that focuses on Abraham and his descendants (Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph). These four characters in the biblical narrative are a reflection of all of us. They are a complex mixture of faithfulness and faithlessness.

We’ve entitled the series Seven because the number seven is a symbol of completeness and is woven into every single part of the book. Revelation relies on visions, symbols and Old Testament references to reveal the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promises that were given to Abraham in Genesis. However, the book of Revelation is not a secret code that allows believers to decipher the timeline of Jesus’ return. It’s a letter written by a man under persecution to seven churches located in Asia (an area that is now a part of modern-day Turkey) who are also under persecution. It’s written as both an encouragement and a challenge. As the concluding book of the Bible, Revelation is a powerful reminder that Jesus has overcome evil by his death and resurrection and will return one day as the true King of the world to remove evil permanently and make all things new. And it is this promise that has motivated every generation of God’s people to remain faithful in the midst of the inevitable challenges of life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568654713-MPV2G8AH37FSRPDMWCMY/RFM+Main.png Kingdom Economics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568731532-05S8UTVRW0HQVQF08388/ATM+Title+Slide.png Kingdom Economics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568763830-23AYXR3MHKOKWYCHAGWV/Letters%28Layered%29+%281%29.jpg Kingdom Economics - Letters (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Letters Philippians, Philemon Colossians and Ephesians are collectively referred to as the "Prison Letters." The Apostle Paul wrote them while he was imprisoned in Rome. The prison was probably a house where Paul was kept under close guard at all times (probably chained to a soldier). But he was given a number of freedoms not offered to most prisoners. Among them was the freedom to write letters and receive visitors. Living out God’s calling on our lives doesn’t always lead us to the places or the situations we had envisioned. It certainly didn’t for Paul. It led him to a prison in Rome. Prison was not the place Paul wanted to be, but he had confidence that God could use even this situation to accomplish the mission to which he had been called. It’s because of his trust and belief in God that he could communicate to the church at Philippi how he could be filled with joy despite his imprisonment and upcoming trial. Sometimes, like Paul, we find ourselves in situations where our initial response is “I don’t want to be here.” But God can use even our hardships for his glory and give us overwhelming joy as we live out God’s mission for our life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568778159-OJ49CM6INRWKB5FGO2EH/Dead-Man-Walking_i2_Main.jpg Kingdom Economics - Dead Man Walking (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Dead Man Walking “Dead man walking” is a poignant way to describe the incarnate life and ministry of Jesus.

Several instances are recorded by Matthew in his gospel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568792899-ZBCWE7NOJ39EV7BNSV6O/InGodWeTrust.jpg Kingdom Economics - In God We Trust (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) In God We Trust "In God We Trust." It is printed on every piece of money. But does the way that we use money actually reflect the slogan that is printed on it? We seek to spend more and to buy more without contentment or limit, we fail to save, we go into debt, and rarely find enough to share. If we started with the idea of Trusting God, is this how we would use our money? When we began with the foundational principle of trusting God, it would radically change the way that we used our money. We would give God our firsts, spend less to buy less, save more, break our debts, and give more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568808812-U1K6RKO10IZ3L8B32HR4/Resolve_January+Sermon+Series+Brand.jpg Kingdom Economics - Resolve (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Resolve did you know that only 6% of resolutions are kept? That doesn’t mean that making them is futile. Setting goals is really important. But what we sometimes overlook is all the broken patterns and obstacles and old habits and pull of the enemy that are working against us in succeeding in those goals. These things act like forces slowly eroding our resolve to go after the things that we deeply desire and long for. Re-enforce resolve=habits. RESOLVE. We have to find ways to re-enforce our resolve to keep pressing in and pursuing. The biggest way to keep going is by creating new habits and systems that are embedded into our every day lives that continuously renew our resolve, speak truth to lies, and encourage us to continue towards the life that God is calling us towards. So in this new series call Resolve, we are looking at three underlying habits and systems that if put into practice, will help us keep going so that we might experience a year that is filled with all that God desires for us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/cf09d45f-fa58-4fec-9447-b7410285606f/Kingdom+Economics.jpg https://www.clarksburgchurch.com/a-heart-of-holiness daily 0.75 2024-11-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/cf09d45f-fa58-4fec-9447-b7410285606f/Kingdom+Economics.jpg A Heart of Holiness https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/b5f77bba-49e0-489d-a4ca-11e4dcd18a1c/A+new+lens.jpg A Heart of Holiness https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/708ff7fe-f363-4a5d-8a4d-0988be4417d0/1.jpg A Heart of Holiness https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/c4971593-aa41-44c8-9c1a-3293bbef7bd5/The+Just+Savior.jpg A Heart of Holiness https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/d392292e-d631-4f17-a87d-95d2023cbb06/1.jpg A Heart of Holiness https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1704723987505-RXYWURW7J83H8XKY8RBG/2.jpg A Heart of Holiness https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/cc2137af-e145-4fb3-a337-6874fa48633e/surprised.jpg A Heart of Holiness https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/5559814e-455b-42ff-b4f1-23a41252842d/More+Than+Enough.jpg A Heart of Holiness https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/2a000692-d1d4-4f56-88d3-f660ac0f5628/OriginStoriesGraphic.jpg A Heart of Holiness https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1694540499522-FD61WPN6B2RTYZO15D3S/narratives-around-fire.jpg A Heart of Holiness https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/e264eb3a-2060-43ed-bfbc-4d29efad9c36/Black+Illustrated+Floral+Line+Art+Prayer+Journal+Book+Cover+%28Presentation+%28169%29%29.jpg A Heart of Holiness https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/49a13c3f-108c-4b9d-9b58-6926dbdbde6c/Reading+Hebrew+Logo.jpg A Heart of Holiness https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/de4e8c77-2e39-4ace-b135-bb65dee59aaa/334612166_160255226857324_2542893905828679988_n.jpg A Heart of Holiness https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/5e443b9e-14f2-4fc6-89c7-ef6c4fe6770e/Black+Colorful+Abstract+Be+Creative+Facebook+Cover.png A Heart of Holiness https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/0c3bcfe0-6a72-4e09-9017-ef1fde851928/goodnews.jpg A Heart of Holiness https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/e1369b3b-aba8-4b97-a513-39799f808767/Need+A.png A Heart of Holiness https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/f1df60dc-d9fd-4f86-ae18-df27ee386aaa/The+King+has+Come+%286%29.png A Heart of Holiness - The King Has Come (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) The King Has Come https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1670356312244-URNTO7KLVHXD5OMO4FWO/Kings-and-Prophets-Artwork-1920x1080%2B%25281%2529.jpg A Heart of Holiness - Kings and Prophets (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Kings and Prophets What we love about scripture is that it is not just some historical documents that are supposed to tell us what we are and are not supposed to believe.

But the New Testament book of James (written by the half-brother of Jesus), reminds us that suffering is a paradoxical gift that can show us any fractures in our faith.

God can use these trials to fulfill his mission to help us become complete, whole, integrated, and perfect. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1626877976592-L4OHW6IBBTI4FZD2IH48/image-asset.jpeg A Heart of Holiness - The Believers (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) The Believers Instead of following the Holy Spirit to cross all barriers, the Church has often been responsible for creating barriers, boundaries, and obstacles to participating in the Kingdom.

It sounds complicated and often leaves us feeling like we don’t know where to start, we aren’t enough to make it happen, or we are being inauthentic to who we actually are. But at Clarksburg, we believe that there is a way we can see the church as a group of ordinary people who are all sent to announce and demonstrate the reign of God through Christ in the places that we live, work, and play, without expecting ourselves to be something that we are not or something less than we should be. We have identified some rhythms and habits, a Rule of Life, that Clarksburg can incorporate into their everyday life to live out this mission: Bless, Eat, Listen, Learn, Sent. While the words have changed to be more clear and simple from the former Rule of Life, the values and implementation are the same. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1580329313613-7T389N0Z2Z7W4U8L5P3E/image-asset.jpeg A Heart of Holiness - The Extravagance: December 2019 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) The Extravagance: December 2019 Scripture is clear. Jesus came to earth not to take but to give. His incarnation, his ministry, and ultimately, his death on a cross were all acts of extravagant generosity. God gave his one and only Son for you and me. It was the supreme act of generosity. In Jesus, we see the perfect reflection of The Extravagance of God. Those who follow Jesus are called to exhibit the same kind of extravagant generosity in their own lives. Extravagant generosity is not a momentary act. It is a way of living. It is a way of seeing the world and seeing others. Extravagant generosity gives oxygen to God’s mission to redeem and restore. It’s generous people that God uses to change the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575567956302-QF4OSE4KQ91YMAV859RF/Undone02%28SeriesTitle%29+%282%29.png A Heart of Holiness - Undone: November-December 2019 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Undone: November-December 2019 Why did Jesus come to earth? What was his ministry all about? It’s easy to miss the real purpose of Jesus’ ministry if we fail to see it within the context of the Old Testament. The entire Old Testament narrative from Genesis to Malachi is a stark reminder of the damaging impact of sin. Relationships are severed. The vulnerable are ignored. Self is deified. Power is king. The cycle of disobedience, repentance, empty promises that then lead to even greater disobedience is repeated over and over again. Luke reminds us that it is into this world of brokenness that Jesus arrives. From the very beginning of his ministry, Jesus clearly proclaims that he is the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies. He has come to heal the sick, binds up the broken, frees the enslaved and proclaims God’s saving grace. He has come to undo the ravaging effect of sin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568075835-AUXMNV6IB6I4ABPDGFLV/Full+BG+WagingWar05%28Layered%29+%281%29.png A Heart of Holiness - Waging War: The Book of Judges (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Waging War: The Book of Judges Don't lose sight of how Judges fits into the overarching story of Scripture. Creation=perfect. Sin=everything is messed up, but God wants to restore and redeem the whole world so it is set right again. Makes a promise with Abraham and family to use them to be family through which he redeems and restores the whole world, and they are promised blessing, a name, and land. And in return, they will live in a way that will represent who God is to the rest of the world... to all the people and nations around them. He is calling to live this counter-cultural life that reflects God's image and character instead of their own. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568078938-EYIFOYNMDTNMEG4H3C1A/promised_OG.jpg A Heart of Holiness - Promised (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Promised This four-week study in the book of Genesis that focuses on Abraham and his descendants (Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph). These four characters in the biblical narrative are a reflection of all of us. They are a complex mixture of faithfulness and faithlessness. They want to trust God, but often they do just the opposite. Their stories are fascinating, compelling and messy. As we study them, we are reminded that God will accomplish what he has promised – no matter what. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568115791-L7YWLAXOBKHUG8XB3K6P/RFM_OG.jpg A Heart of Holiness - Seven: A Study of Revelation (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Seven: A Study of Revelation The book of Revelation is a vision given by God to John while he was exiled on the Island of Patmos because of his outspoken witness to Jesus Christ. We’ve entitled the series Seven because the number seven is a symbol of completeness and is woven into every single part of the book. Revelation relies on visions, symbols and Old Testament references to reveal the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promises that were given to Abraham in Genesis. However, the book of Revelation is not a secret code that allows believers to decipher the timeline of Jesus’ return. It’s a letter written by a man under persecution to seven churches located in Asia (an area that is now a part of modern-day Turkey) who are also under persecution. It’s written as both an encouragement and a challenge. As the concluding book of the Bible, Revelation is a powerful reminder that Jesus has overcome evil by his death and resurrection and will return one day as the true King of the world to remove evil permanently and make all things new. And it is this promise that has motivated every generation of God’s people to remain faithful in the midst of the inevitable challenges of life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568654713-MPV2G8AH37FSRPDMWCMY/RFM+Main.png A Heart of Holiness https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568731532-05S8UTVRW0HQVQF08388/ATM+Title+Slide.png A Heart of Holiness https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568763830-23AYXR3MHKOKWYCHAGWV/Letters%28Layered%29+%281%29.jpg A Heart of Holiness - Letters (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Letters Philippians, Philemon Colossians and Ephesians are collectively referred to as the "Prison Letters." The Apostle Paul wrote them while he was imprisoned in Rome. The prison was probably a house where Paul was kept under close guard at all times (probably chained to a soldier). But he was given a number of freedoms not offered to most prisoners. Among them was the freedom to write letters and receive visitors. Living out God’s calling on our lives doesn’t always lead us to the places or the situations we had envisioned. It certainly didn’t for Paul. It led him to a prison in Rome. Prison was not the place Paul wanted to be, but he had confidence that God could use even this situation to accomplish the mission to which he had been called. It’s because of his trust and belief in God that he could communicate to the church at Philippi how he could be filled with joy despite his imprisonment and upcoming trial. Sometimes, like Paul, we find ourselves in situations where our initial response is “I don’t want to be here.” But God can use even our hardships for his glory and give us overwhelming joy as we live out God’s mission for our life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568778159-OJ49CM6INRWKB5FGO2EH/Dead-Man-Walking_i2_Main.jpg A Heart of Holiness - Dead Man Walking (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Dead Man Walking “Dead man walking” is a poignant way to describe the incarnate life and ministry of Jesus. His death was so imminent, so certain, so real that it loomed over every step he took toward Jerusalem and the cross. As the time drew closer, Jesus spoke about it with his disciples. Several instances are recorded by Matthew in his gospel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568792899-ZBCWE7NOJ39EV7BNSV6O/InGodWeTrust.jpg A Heart of Holiness - In God We Trust (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) In God We Trust "In God We Trust." It is printed on every piece of money. But does the way that we use money actually reflect the slogan that is printed on it? We seek to spend more and to buy more without contentment or limit, we fail to save, we go into debt, and rarely find enough to share. If we started with the idea of Trusting God, is this how we would use our money? When we began with the foundational principle of trusting God, it would radically change the way that we used our money. We would give God our firsts, spend less to buy less, save more, break our debts, and give more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568808812-U1K6RKO10IZ3L8B32HR4/Resolve_January+Sermon+Series+Brand.jpg A Heart of Holiness - Resolve (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Resolve did you know that only 6% of resolutions are kept? That doesn’t mean that making them is futile. Setting goals is really important. But what we sometimes overlook is all the broken patterns and obstacles and old habits and pull of the enemy that are working against us in succeeding in those goals. These things act like forces slowly eroding our resolve to go after the things that we deeply desire and long for. Re-enforce resolve=habits. RESOLVE. We have to find ways to re-enforce our resolve to keep pressing in and pursuing. The biggest way to keep going is by creating new habits and systems that are embedded into our every day lives that continuously renew our resolve, speak truth to lies, and encourage us to continue towards the life that God is calling us towards. So in this new series call Resolve, we are looking at three underlying habits and systems that if put into practice, will help us keep going so that we might experience a year that is filled with all that God desires for us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/c1bd0e2a-17d9-465a-a42a-089458ae7b38/A+Heart+of+Holiness+Graphic.jpg https://www.clarksburgchurch.com/gospel-in-carols daily 0.75 2025-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/c1bd0e2a-17d9-465a-a42a-089458ae7b38/A+Heart+of+Holiness+Graphic.jpg The Gospel in Carols https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/cf09d45f-fa58-4fec-9447-b7410285606f/Kingdom+Economics.jpg The Gospel in Carols https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/b5f77bba-49e0-489d-a4ca-11e4dcd18a1c/A+new+lens.jpg The Gospel in Carols https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/708ff7fe-f363-4a5d-8a4d-0988be4417d0/1.jpg The Gospel in Carols https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/c4971593-aa41-44c8-9c1a-3293bbef7bd5/The+Just+Savior.jpg The Gospel in Carols https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/d392292e-d631-4f17-a87d-95d2023cbb06/1.jpg The Gospel in Carols https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1704723987505-RXYWURW7J83H8XKY8RBG/2.jpg The Gospel in Carols https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/cc2137af-e145-4fb3-a337-6874fa48633e/surprised.jpg The Gospel in Carols https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/5559814e-455b-42ff-b4f1-23a41252842d/More+Than+Enough.jpg The Gospel in Carols https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/2a000692-d1d4-4f56-88d3-f660ac0f5628/OriginStoriesGraphic.jpg The Gospel in Carols https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1694540499522-FD61WPN6B2RTYZO15D3S/narratives-around-fire.jpg The Gospel in Carols https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/e264eb3a-2060-43ed-bfbc-4d29efad9c36/Black+Illustrated+Floral+Line+Art+Prayer+Journal+Book+Cover+%28Presentation+%28169%29%29.jpg The Gospel in Carols https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/49a13c3f-108c-4b9d-9b58-6926dbdbde6c/Reading+Hebrew+Logo.jpg The Gospel in Carols https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/de4e8c77-2e39-4ace-b135-bb65dee59aaa/334612166_160255226857324_2542893905828679988_n.jpg The Gospel in Carols https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/5e443b9e-14f2-4fc6-89c7-ef6c4fe6770e/Black+Colorful+Abstract+Be+Creative+Facebook+Cover.png The Gospel in Carols https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/0c3bcfe0-6a72-4e09-9017-ef1fde851928/goodnews.jpg The Gospel in Carols https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/e1369b3b-aba8-4b97-a513-39799f808767/Need+A.png The Gospel in Carols https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/f1df60dc-d9fd-4f86-ae18-df27ee386aaa/The+King+has+Come+%286%29.png The Gospel in Carols - The King Has Come (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) The King Has Come https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1670356312244-URNTO7KLVHXD5OMO4FWO/Kings-and-Prophets-Artwork-1920x1080%2B%25281%2529.jpg The Gospel in Carols - Kings and Prophets (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Kings and Prophets What we love about scripture is that it is not just some historical documents that are supposed to tell us what we are and are not supposed to believe.

It sounds complicated and often leaves us feeling like we don’t know where to start, we aren’t enough to make it happen, or we are being inauthentic to who we actually are. But at Clarksburg, we believe that there is a way we can see the church as a group of ordinary people who are all sent to announce and demonstrate the reign of God through Christ in the places that we live, work, and play, without expecting ourselves to be something that we are not or something less than we should be. We have identified some rhythms and habits, a Rule of Life, that Clarksburg can incorporate into their everyday life to live out this mission: Bless, Eat, Listen, Learn, Sent. While the words have changed to be more clear and simple from the former Rule of Life, the values and implementation are the same. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1580329313613-7T389N0Z2Z7W4U8L5P3E/image-asset.jpeg The Gospel in Carols - The Extravagance: December 2019 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) The Extravagance: December 2019 Scripture is clear. Jesus came to earth not to take but to give. His incarnation, his ministry, and ultimately, his death on a cross were all acts of extravagant generosity. God gave his one and only Son for you and me. It was the supreme act of generosity. In Jesus, we see the perfect reflection of The Extravagance of God. Those who follow Jesus are called to exhibit the same kind of extravagant generosity in their own lives. Extravagant generosity is not a momentary act. It is a way of living. It is a way of seeing the world and seeing others. Extravagant generosity gives oxygen to God’s mission to redeem and restore. It’s generous people that God uses to change the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575567956302-QF4OSE4KQ91YMAV859RF/Undone02%28SeriesTitle%29+%282%29.png The Gospel in Carols - Undone: November-December 2019 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Undone: November-December 2019 Why did Jesus come to earth? What was his ministry all about? It’s easy to miss the real purpose of Jesus’ ministry if we fail to see it within the context of the Old Testament. The entire Old Testament narrative from Genesis to Malachi is a stark reminder of the damaging impact of sin. Relationships are severed. The vulnerable are ignored. Self is deified. Power is king. The cycle of disobedience, repentance, empty promises that then lead to even greater disobedience is repeated over and over again. Luke reminds us that it is into this world of brokenness that Jesus arrives. From the very beginning of his ministry, Jesus clearly proclaims that he is the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies. He has come to heal the sick, binds up the broken, frees the enslaved and proclaims God’s saving grace. He has come to undo the ravaging effect of sin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568075835-AUXMNV6IB6I4ABPDGFLV/Full+BG+WagingWar05%28Layered%29+%281%29.png The Gospel in Carols - Waging War: The Book of Judges (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Waging War: The Book of Judges Don't lose sight of how Judges fits into the overarching story of Scripture. Creation=perfect. Sin=everything is messed up, but God wants to restore and redeem the whole world so it is set right again. Makes a promise with Abraham and family to use them to be family through which he redeems and restores the whole world, and they are promised blessing, a name, and land. And in return, they will live in a way that will represent who God is to the rest of the world... to all the people and nations around them. He is calling to live this counter-cultural life that reflects God's image and character instead of their own. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568078938-EYIFOYNMDTNMEG4H3C1A/promised_OG.jpg The Gospel in Carols - Promised (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Promised This four-week study in the book of Genesis that focuses on Abraham and his descendants (Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph). These four characters in the biblical narrative are a reflection of all of us. They are a complex mixture of faithfulness and faithlessness. They want to trust God, but often they do just the opposite. Their stories are fascinating, compelling and messy. As we study them, we are reminded that God will accomplish what he has promised – no matter what. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568115791-L7YWLAXOBKHUG8XB3K6P/RFM_OG.jpg The Gospel in Carols - Seven: A Study of Revelation (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Seven: A Study of Revelation The book of Revelation is a vision given by God to John while he was exiled on the Island of Patmos because of his outspoken witness to Jesus Christ. We’ve entitled the series Seven because the number seven is a symbol of completeness and is woven into every single part of the book. Revelation relies on visions, symbols and Old Testament references to reveal the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promises that were given to Abraham in Genesis. However, the book of Revelation is not a secret code that allows believers to decipher the timeline of Jesus’ return. It’s a letter written by a man under persecution to seven churches located in Asia (an area that is now a part of modern-day Turkey) who are also under persecution. It’s written as both an encouragement and a challenge. As the concluding book of the Bible, Revelation is a powerful reminder that Jesus has overcome evil by his death and resurrection and will return one day as the true King of the world to remove evil permanently and make all things new. And it is this promise that has motivated every generation of God’s people to remain faithful in the midst of the inevitable challenges of life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568654713-MPV2G8AH37FSRPDMWCMY/RFM+Main.png The Gospel in Carols https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568731532-05S8UTVRW0HQVQF08388/ATM+Title+Slide.png The Gospel in Carols https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568763830-23AYXR3MHKOKWYCHAGWV/Letters%28Layered%29+%281%29.jpg The Gospel in Carols - Letters (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Letters Philippians, Philemon Colossians and Ephesians are collectively referred to as the "Prison Letters." The Apostle Paul wrote them while he was imprisoned in Rome. The prison was probably a house where Paul was kept under close guard at all times (probably chained to a soldier). But he was given a number of freedoms not offered to most prisoners. Among them was the freedom to write letters and receive visitors. Living out God’s calling on our lives doesn’t always lead us to the places or the situations we had envisioned. It certainly didn’t for Paul. It led him to a prison in Rome. Prison was not the place Paul wanted to be, but he had confidence that God could use even this situation to accomplish the mission to which he had been called. It’s because of his trust and belief in God that he could communicate to the church at Philippi how he could be filled with joy despite his imprisonment and upcoming trial. Sometimes, like Paul, we find ourselves in situations where our initial response is “I don’t want to be here.” But God can use even our hardships for his glory and give us overwhelming joy as we live out God’s mission for our life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568778159-OJ49CM6INRWKB5FGO2EH/Dead-Man-Walking_i2_Main.jpg The Gospel in Carols - Dead Man Walking (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Dead Man Walking “Dead man walking” is a poignant way to describe the incarnate life and ministry of Jesus.

Several instances are recorded by Matthew in his gospel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568792899-ZBCWE7NOJ39EV7BNSV6O/InGodWeTrust.jpg The Gospel in Carols - In God We Trust (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) In God We Trust "In God We Trust." It is printed on every piece of money. But does the way that we use money actually reflect the slogan that is printed on it? We seek to spend more and to buy more without contentment or limit, we fail to save, we go into debt, and rarely find enough to share. If we started with the idea of Trusting God, is this how we would use our money? When we began with the foundational principle of trusting God, it would radically change the way that we used our money. We would give God our firsts, spend less to buy less, save more, break our debts, and give more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568808812-U1K6RKO10IZ3L8B32HR4/Resolve_January+Sermon+Series+Brand.jpg The Gospel in Carols - Resolve (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Resolve did you know that only 6% of resolutions are kept? That doesn’t mean that making them is futile. Setting goals is really important. But what we sometimes overlook is all the broken patterns and obstacles and old habits and pull of the enemy that are working against us in succeeding in those goals. These things act like forces slowly eroding our resolve to go after the things that we deeply desire and long for. Re-enforce resolve=habits. RESOLVE. We have to find ways to re-enforce our resolve to keep pressing in and pursuing. The biggest way to keep going is by creating new habits and systems that are embedded into our every day lives that continuously renew our resolve, speak truth to lies, and encourage us to continue towards the life that God is calling us towards. So in this new series call Resolve, we are looking at three underlying habits and systems that if put into practice, will help us keep going so that we might experience a year that is filled with all that God desires for us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/81bc6811-58c2-4921-b662-519b53beb301/The+Gospel+In+Carols.jpg https://www.clarksburgchurch.com/living-bells daily 0.75 2025-02-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/81bc6811-58c2-4921-b662-519b53beb301/The+Gospel+In+Carols.jpg Living BELLS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/c1bd0e2a-17d9-465a-a42a-089458ae7b38/A+Heart+of+Holiness+Graphic.jpg Living BELLS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/cf09d45f-fa58-4fec-9447-b7410285606f/Kingdom+Economics.jpg Living BELLS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/b5f77bba-49e0-489d-a4ca-11e4dcd18a1c/A+new+lens.jpg Living BELLS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/708ff7fe-f363-4a5d-8a4d-0988be4417d0/1.jpg Living BELLS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/c4971593-aa41-44c8-9c1a-3293bbef7bd5/The+Just+Savior.jpg Living BELLS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/d392292e-d631-4f17-a87d-95d2023cbb06/1.jpg Living BELLS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1704723987505-RXYWURW7J83H8XKY8RBG/2.jpg Living BELLS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/cc2137af-e145-4fb3-a337-6874fa48633e/surprised.jpg Living BELLS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/5559814e-455b-42ff-b4f1-23a41252842d/More+Than+Enough.jpg Living BELLS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/2a000692-d1d4-4f56-88d3-f660ac0f5628/OriginStoriesGraphic.jpg Living BELLS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1694540499522-FD61WPN6B2RTYZO15D3S/narratives-around-fire.jpg Living BELLS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/e264eb3a-2060-43ed-bfbc-4d29efad9c36/Black+Illustrated+Floral+Line+Art+Prayer+Journal+Book+Cover+%28Presentation+%28169%29%29.jpg Living BELLS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/49a13c3f-108c-4b9d-9b58-6926dbdbde6c/Reading+Hebrew+Logo.jpg Living BELLS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/de4e8c77-2e39-4ace-b135-bb65dee59aaa/334612166_160255226857324_2542893905828679988_n.jpg Living BELLS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/5e443b9e-14f2-4fc6-89c7-ef6c4fe6770e/Black+Colorful+Abstract+Be+Creative+Facebook+Cover.png Living BELLS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/0c3bcfe0-6a72-4e09-9017-ef1fde851928/goodnews.jpg Living BELLS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/e1369b3b-aba8-4b97-a513-39799f808767/Need+A.png Living BELLS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/f1df60dc-d9fd-4f86-ae18-df27ee386aaa/The+King+has+Come+%286%29.png Living BELLS - The King Has Come (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) The King Has Come https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1670356312244-URNTO7KLVHXD5OMO4FWO/Kings-and-Prophets-Artwork-1920x1080%2B%25281%2529.jpg Living BELLS - Kings and Prophets (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Kings and Prophets What we love about scripture is that it is not just some historical documents that are supposed to tell us what we are and are not supposed to believe.

It was the supreme act of generosity. In Jesus, we see the perfect reflection of The Extravagance of God. Those who follow Jesus are called to exhibit the same kind of extravagant generosity in their own lives. Extravagant generosity is not a momentary act. It is a way of living. It is a way of seeing the world and seeing others. Extravagant generosity gives oxygen to God’s mission to redeem and restore.

What was his ministry all about? It’s easy to miss the real purpose of Jesus’ ministry if we fail to see it within the context of the Old Testament. The entire Old Testament narrative from Genesis to Malachi is a stark reminder of the damaging impact of sin. Relationships are severed. The vulnerable are ignored. Self is deified. Power is king. The cycle of disobedience, repentance, empty promises that then lead to even greater disobedience is repeated over and over again. Luke reminds us that it is into this world of brokenness that Jesus arrives. From the very beginning of his ministry, Jesus clearly proclaims that he is the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies. He has come to heal the sick, binds up the broken, frees the enslaved and proclaims God’s saving grace. He has come to undo the ravaging effect of sin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568075835-AUXMNV6IB6I4ABPDGFLV/Full+BG+WagingWar05%28Layered%29+%281%29.png Living BELLS - Waging War: The Book of Judges (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Waging War: The Book of Judges Don't lose sight of how Judges fits into the overarching story of Scripture.

And in return, they will live in a way that will represent who God is to the rest of the world... to all the people and nations around them.

We’ve entitled the series Seven because the number seven is a symbol of completeness and is woven into every single part of the book. Revelation relies on visions, symbols and Old Testament references to reveal the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promises that were given to Abraham in Genesis. However, the book of Revelation is not a secret code that allows believers to decipher the timeline of Jesus’ return. It’s a letter written by a man under persecution to seven churches located in Asia (an area that is now a part of modern-day Turkey) who are also under persecution. It’s written as both an encouragement and a challenge. As the concluding book of the Bible, Revelation is a powerful reminder that Jesus has overcome evil by his death and resurrection and will return one day as the true King of the world to remove evil permanently and make all things new. And it is this promise that has motivated every generation of God’s people to remain faithful in the midst of the inevitable challenges of life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568654713-MPV2G8AH37FSRPDMWCMY/RFM+Main.png Living BELLS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568731532-05S8UTVRW0HQVQF08388/ATM+Title+Slide.png Living BELLS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568763830-23AYXR3MHKOKWYCHAGWV/Letters%28Layered%29+%281%29.jpg Living BELLS - Letters (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Letters Philippians, Philemon Colossians and Ephesians are collectively referred to as the "Prison Letters." The Apostle Paul wrote them while he was imprisoned in Rome. The prison was probably a house where Paul was kept under close guard at all times (probably chained to a soldier). But he was given a number of freedoms not offered to most prisoners. Among them was the freedom to write letters and receive visitors. Living out God’s calling on our lives doesn’t always lead us to the places or the situations we had envisioned. It certainly didn’t for Paul. It led him to a prison in Rome. Prison was not the place Paul wanted to be, but he had confidence that God could use even this situation to accomplish the mission to which he had been called. It’s because of his trust and belief in God that he could communicate to the church at Philippi how he could be filled with joy despite his imprisonment and upcoming trial. Sometimes, like Paul, we find ourselves in situations where our initial response is “I don’t want to be here.” But God can use even our hardships for his glory and give us overwhelming joy as we live out God’s mission for our life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568778159-OJ49CM6INRWKB5FGO2EH/Dead-Man-Walking_i2_Main.jpg Living BELLS - Dead Man Walking (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Dead Man Walking “Dead man walking” is a poignant way to describe the incarnate life and ministry of Jesus.

Several instances are recorded by Matthew in his gospel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568792899-ZBCWE7NOJ39EV7BNSV6O/InGodWeTrust.jpg Living BELLS - In God We Trust (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) In God We Trust "In God We Trust." It is printed on every piece of money. But does the way that we use money actually reflect the slogan that is printed on it? We seek to spend more and to buy more without contentment or limit, we fail to save, we go into debt, and rarely find enough to share. If we started with the idea of Trusting God, is this how we would use our money? When we began with the foundational principle of trusting God, it would radically change the way that we used our money. We would give God our firsts, spend less to buy less, save more, break our debts, and give more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568808812-U1K6RKO10IZ3L8B32HR4/Resolve_January+Sermon+Series+Brand.jpg Living BELLS - Resolve (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Resolve did you know that only 6% of resolutions are kept? That doesn’t mean that making them is futile. Setting goals is really important. But what we sometimes overlook is all the broken patterns and obstacles and old habits and pull of the enemy that are working against us in succeeding in those goals. These things act like forces slowly eroding our resolve to go after the things that we deeply desire and long for. Re-enforce resolve=habits. RESOLVE. We have to find ways to re-enforce our resolve to keep pressing in and pursuing. The biggest way to keep going is by creating new habits and systems that are embedded into our every day lives that continuously renew our resolve, speak truth to lies, and encourage us to continue towards the life that God is calling us towards. So in this new series call Resolve, we are looking at three underlying habits and systems that if put into practice, will help us keep going so that we might experience a year that is filled with all that God desires for us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/52770b5a-adb0-4a65-b3ab-d3df6e5bdc17/Living+Bells.jpg https://www.clarksburgchurch.com/eyes-to-see daily 0.75 2025-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/52770b5a-adb0-4a65-b3ab-d3df6e5bdc17/Living+Bells.jpg Eyes To See https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/81bc6811-58c2-4921-b662-519b53beb301/The+Gospel+In+Carols.jpg Eyes To See https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/c1bd0e2a-17d9-465a-a42a-089458ae7b38/A+Heart+of+Holiness+Graphic.jpg Eyes To See https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/cf09d45f-fa58-4fec-9447-b7410285606f/Kingdom+Economics.jpg Eyes To See https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/b5f77bba-49e0-489d-a4ca-11e4dcd18a1c/A+new+lens.jpg Eyes To See https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/708ff7fe-f363-4a5d-8a4d-0988be4417d0/1.jpg Eyes To See https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/c4971593-aa41-44c8-9c1a-3293bbef7bd5/The+Just+Savior.jpg Eyes To See https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/d392292e-d631-4f17-a87d-95d2023cbb06/1.jpg Eyes To See https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1704723987505-RXYWURW7J83H8XKY8RBG/2.jpg Eyes To See https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/cc2137af-e145-4fb3-a337-6874fa48633e/surprised.jpg Eyes To See https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/5559814e-455b-42ff-b4f1-23a41252842d/More+Than+Enough.jpg Eyes To See https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/2a000692-d1d4-4f56-88d3-f660ac0f5628/OriginStoriesGraphic.jpg Eyes To See https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1694540499522-FD61WPN6B2RTYZO15D3S/narratives-around-fire.jpg Eyes To See https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/e264eb3a-2060-43ed-bfbc-4d29efad9c36/Black+Illustrated+Floral+Line+Art+Prayer+Journal+Book+Cover+%28Presentation+%28169%29%29.jpg Eyes To See https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/49a13c3f-108c-4b9d-9b58-6926dbdbde6c/Reading+Hebrew+Logo.jpg Eyes To See https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/de4e8c77-2e39-4ace-b135-bb65dee59aaa/334612166_160255226857324_2542893905828679988_n.jpg Eyes To See https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/5e443b9e-14f2-4fc6-89c7-ef6c4fe6770e/Black+Colorful+Abstract+Be+Creative+Facebook+Cover.png Eyes To See https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/0c3bcfe0-6a72-4e09-9017-ef1fde851928/goodnews.jpg Eyes To See https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/e1369b3b-aba8-4b97-a513-39799f808767/Need+A.png Eyes To See https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/f1df60dc-d9fd-4f86-ae18-df27ee386aaa/The+King+has+Come+%286%29.png Eyes To See - The King Has Come (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) The King Has Come https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1670356312244-URNTO7KLVHXD5OMO4FWO/Kings-and-Prophets-Artwork-1920x1080%2B%25281%2529.jpg Eyes To See - Kings and Prophets (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Kings and Prophets What we love about scripture is that it is not just some historical documents that are supposed to tell us what we are and are not supposed to believe.

We have identified some rhythms and habits, a Rule of Life, that Clarksburg can incorporate into their everyday life to live out this mission: Bless, Eat, Listen, Learn, Sent.

Jesus came to earth not to take but to give. His incarnation, his ministry, and ultimately, his death on a cross were all acts of extravagant generosity. God gave his one and only Son for you and me. It was the supreme act of generosity. In Jesus, we see the perfect reflection of The Extravagance of God. Those who follow Jesus are called to exhibit the same kind of extravagant generosity in their own lives. Extravagant generosity is not a momentary act. It is a way of living. It is a way of seeing the world and seeing others. Extravagant generosity gives oxygen to God’s mission to redeem and restore. It’s generous people that God uses to change the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575567956302-QF4OSE4KQ91YMAV859RF/Undone02%28SeriesTitle%29+%282%29.png Eyes To See - Undone: November-December 2019 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Undone: November-December 2019 Why did Jesus come to earth? What was his ministry all about? It’s easy to miss the real purpose of Jesus’ ministry if we fail to see it within the context of the Old Testament. The entire Old Testament narrative from Genesis to Malachi is a stark reminder of the damaging impact of sin. Relationships are severed. The vulnerable are ignored. Self is deified. Power is king. The cycle of disobedience, repentance, empty promises that then lead to even greater disobedience is repeated over and over again. Luke reminds us that it is into this world of brokenness that Jesus arrives. From the very beginning of his ministry, Jesus clearly proclaims that he is the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies. He has come to heal the sick, binds up the broken, frees the enslaved and proclaims God’s saving grace. He has come to undo the ravaging effect of sin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568075835-AUXMNV6IB6I4ABPDGFLV/Full+BG+WagingWar05%28Layered%29+%281%29.png Eyes To See - Waging War: The Book of Judges (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Waging War: The Book of Judges Don't lose sight of how Judges fits into the overarching story of Scripture. Creation=perfect. Sin=everything is messed up, but God wants to restore and redeem the whole world so it is set right again. Makes a promise with Abraham and family to use them to be family through which he redeems and restores the whole world, and they are promised blessing, a name, and land. And in return, they will live in a way that will represent who God is to the rest of the world... to all the people and nations around them. He is calling to live this counter-cultural life that reflects God's image and character instead of their own. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568078938-EYIFOYNMDTNMEG4H3C1A/promised_OG.jpg Eyes To See - Promised (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Promised This four-week study in the book of Genesis that focuses on Abraham and his descendants (Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph).

We’ve entitled the series Seven because the number seven is a symbol of completeness and is woven into every single part of the book. Revelation relies on visions, symbols and Old Testament references to reveal the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promises that were given to Abraham in Genesis. However, the book of Revelation is not a secret code that allows believers to decipher the timeline of Jesus’ return. It’s a letter written by a man under persecution to seven churches located in Asia (an area that is now a part of modern-day Turkey) who are also under persecution. It’s written as both an encouragement and a challenge. As the concluding book of the Bible, Revelation is a powerful reminder that Jesus has overcome evil by his death and resurrection and will return one day as the true King of the world to remove evil permanently and make all things new. And it is this promise that has motivated every generation of God’s people to remain faithful in the midst of the inevitable challenges of life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568654713-MPV2G8AH37FSRPDMWCMY/RFM+Main.png Eyes To See https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568731532-05S8UTVRW0HQVQF08388/ATM+Title+Slide.png Eyes To See https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568763830-23AYXR3MHKOKWYCHAGWV/Letters%28Layered%29+%281%29.jpg Eyes To See - Letters (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Letters Philippians, Philemon Colossians and Ephesians are collectively referred to as the "Prison Letters." The Apostle Paul wrote them while he was imprisoned in Rome. The prison was probably a house where Paul was kept under close guard at all times (probably chained to a soldier). But he was given a number of freedoms not offered to most prisoners. Among them was the freedom to write letters and receive visitors. Living out God’s calling on our lives doesn’t always lead us to the places or the situations we had envisioned. It certainly didn’t for Paul. It led him to a prison in Rome. Prison was not the place Paul wanted to be, but he had confidence that God could use even this situation to accomplish the mission to which he had been called. It’s because of his trust and belief in God that he could communicate to the church at Philippi how he could be filled with joy despite his imprisonment and upcoming trial. Sometimes, like Paul, we find ourselves in situations where our initial response is “I don’t want to be here.” But God can use even our hardships for his glory and give us overwhelming joy as we live out God’s mission for our life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568778159-OJ49CM6INRWKB5FGO2EH/Dead-Man-Walking_i2_Main.jpg Eyes To See - Dead Man Walking (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Dead Man Walking “Dead man walking” is a poignant way to describe the incarnate life and ministry of Jesus. His death was so imminent, so certain, so real that it loomed over every step he took toward Jerusalem and the cross. As the time drew closer, Jesus spoke about it with his disciples. Several instances are recorded by Matthew in his gospel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568792899-ZBCWE7NOJ39EV7BNSV6O/InGodWeTrust.jpg Eyes To See - In God We Trust (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) In God We Trust "In God We Trust." It is printed on every piece of money. But does the way that we use money actually reflect the slogan that is printed on it? We seek to spend more and to buy more without contentment or limit, we fail to save, we go into debt, and rarely find enough to share. If we started with the idea of Trusting God, is this how we would use our money? When we began with the foundational principle of trusting God, it would radically change the way that we used our money. We would give God our firsts, spend less to buy less, save more, break our debts, and give more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568808812-U1K6RKO10IZ3L8B32HR4/Resolve_January+Sermon+Series+Brand.jpg Eyes To See - Resolve (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Resolve did you know that only 6% of resolutions are kept? That doesn’t mean that making them is futile. Setting goals is really important. But what we sometimes overlook is all the broken patterns and obstacles and old habits and pull of the enemy that are working against us in succeeding in those goals. These things act like forces slowly eroding our resolve to go after the things that we deeply desire and long for. Re-enforce resolve=habits. RESOLVE. We have to find ways to re-enforce our resolve to keep pressing in and pursuing. The biggest way to keep going is by creating new habits and systems that are embedded into our every day lives that continuously renew our resolve, speak truth to lies, and encourage us to continue towards the life that God is calling us towards. So in this new series call Resolve, we are looking at three underlying habits and systems that if put into practice, will help us keep going so that we might experience a year that is filled with all that God desires for us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/cc086d00-c00a-4fdd-ba57-f11f43e09f5b/1.jpg https://www.clarksburgchurch.com/rumbling-freedom daily 0.75 2025-04-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/cc086d00-c00a-4fdd-ba57-f11f43e09f5b/1.jpg The Rumbling Freedom of God https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/52770b5a-adb0-4a65-b3ab-d3df6e5bdc17/Living+Bells.jpg The Rumbling Freedom of God https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/81bc6811-58c2-4921-b662-519b53beb301/The+Gospel+In+Carols.jpg The Rumbling Freedom of God https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/c1bd0e2a-17d9-465a-a42a-089458ae7b38/A+Heart+of+Holiness+Graphic.jpg The Rumbling Freedom of God https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/cf09d45f-fa58-4fec-9447-b7410285606f/Kingdom+Economics.jpg The Rumbling Freedom of God https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/b5f77bba-49e0-489d-a4ca-11e4dcd18a1c/A+new+lens.jpg The Rumbling Freedom of God https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/708ff7fe-f363-4a5d-8a4d-0988be4417d0/1.jpg The Rumbling Freedom of God https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/c4971593-aa41-44c8-9c1a-3293bbef7bd5/The+Just+Savior.jpg The Rumbling Freedom of God https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/d392292e-d631-4f17-a87d-95d2023cbb06/1.jpg The Rumbling Freedom of God https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1704723987505-RXYWURW7J83H8XKY8RBG/2.jpg The Rumbling Freedom of God https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/cc2137af-e145-4fb3-a337-6874fa48633e/surprised.jpg The Rumbling Freedom of God https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/5559814e-455b-42ff-b4f1-23a41252842d/More+Than+Enough.jpg The Rumbling Freedom of God https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/2a000692-d1d4-4f56-88d3-f660ac0f5628/OriginStoriesGraphic.jpg The Rumbling Freedom of God https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1694540499522-FD61WPN6B2RTYZO15D3S/narratives-around-fire.jpg The Rumbling Freedom of God https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/e264eb3a-2060-43ed-bfbc-4d29efad9c36/Black+Illustrated+Floral+Line+Art+Prayer+Journal+Book+Cover+%28Presentation+%28169%29%29.jpg The Rumbling Freedom of God https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/49a13c3f-108c-4b9d-9b58-6926dbdbde6c/Reading+Hebrew+Logo.jpg The Rumbling Freedom of God https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/de4e8c77-2e39-4ace-b135-bb65dee59aaa/334612166_160255226857324_2542893905828679988_n.jpg The Rumbling Freedom of God https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/5e443b9e-14f2-4fc6-89c7-ef6c4fe6770e/Black+Colorful+Abstract+Be+Creative+Facebook+Cover.png The Rumbling Freedom of God https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/0c3bcfe0-6a72-4e09-9017-ef1fde851928/goodnews.jpg The Rumbling Freedom of God https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/e1369b3b-aba8-4b97-a513-39799f808767/Need+A.png The Rumbling Freedom of God https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/f1df60dc-d9fd-4f86-ae18-df27ee386aaa/The+King+has+Come+%286%29.png The Rumbling Freedom of God - The King Has Come (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) The King Has Come https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1670356312244-URNTO7KLVHXD5OMO4FWO/Kings-and-Prophets-Artwork-1920x1080%2B%25281%2529.jpg The Rumbling Freedom of God - Kings and Prophets (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Kings and Prophets What we love about scripture is that it is not just some historical documents that are supposed to tell us what we are and are not supposed to believe.

It sounds complicated and often leaves us feeling like we don’t know where to start, we aren’t enough to make it happen, or we are being inauthentic to who we actually are. But at Clarksburg, we believe that there is a way we can see the church as a group of ordinary people who are all sent to announce and demonstrate the reign of God through Christ in the places that we live, work, and play, without expecting ourselves to be something that we are not or something less than we should be. We have identified some rhythms and habits, a Rule of Life, that Clarksburg can incorporate into their everyday life to live out this mission: Bless, Eat, Listen, Learn, Sent. While the words have changed to be more clear and simple from the former Rule of Life, the values and implementation are the same. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1580329313613-7T389N0Z2Z7W4U8L5P3E/image-asset.jpeg The Rumbling Freedom of God - The Extravagance: December 2019 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) The Extravagance: December 2019 Scripture is clear. Jesus came to earth not to take but to give. His incarnation, his ministry, and ultimately, his death on a cross were all acts of extravagant generosity. God gave his one and only Son for you and me. It was the supreme act of generosity. In Jesus, we see the perfect reflection of The Extravagance of God. Those who follow Jesus are called to exhibit the same kind of extravagant generosity in their own lives. Extravagant generosity is not a momentary act. It is a way of living. It is a way of seeing the world and seeing others. Extravagant generosity gives oxygen to God’s mission to redeem and restore. It’s generous people that God uses to change the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575567956302-QF4OSE4KQ91YMAV859RF/Undone02%28SeriesTitle%29+%282%29.png The Rumbling Freedom of God - Undone: November-December 2019 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Undone: November-December 2019 Why did Jesus come to earth? What was his ministry all about? It’s easy to miss the real purpose of Jesus’ ministry if we fail to see it within the context of the Old Testament. The entire Old Testament narrative from Genesis to Malachi is a stark reminder of the damaging impact of sin. Relationships are severed. The vulnerable are ignored. Self is deified. Power is king. The cycle of disobedience, repentance, empty promises that then lead to even greater disobedience is repeated over and over again. Luke reminds us that it is into this world of brokenness that Jesus arrives. From the very beginning of his ministry, Jesus clearly proclaims that he is the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies. He has come to heal the sick, binds up the broken, frees the enslaved and proclaims God’s saving grace. He has come to undo the ravaging effect of sin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568075835-AUXMNV6IB6I4ABPDGFLV/Full+BG+WagingWar05%28Layered%29+%281%29.png The Rumbling Freedom of God - Waging War: The Book of Judges (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Waging War: The Book of Judges Don't lose sight of how Judges fits into the overarching story of Scripture.

Makes a promise with Abraham and family to use them to be family through which he redeems and restores the whole world, and they are promised blessing, a name, and land. And in return, they will live in a way that will represent who God is to the rest of the world... to all the people and nations around them.

These four characters in the biblical narrative are a reflection of all of us. They are a complex mixture of faithfulness and faithlessness. They want to trust God, but often they do just the opposite. Their stories are fascinating, compelling and messy. As we study them, we are reminded that God will accomplish what he has promised – no matter what. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568115791-L7YWLAXOBKHUG8XB3K6P/RFM_OG.jpg The Rumbling Freedom of God - Seven: A Study of Revelation (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Seven: A Study of Revelation The book of Revelation is a vision given by God to John while he was exiled on the Island of Patmos because of his outspoken witness to Jesus Christ. We’ve entitled the series Seven because the number seven is a symbol of completeness and is woven into every single part of the book. Revelation relies on visions, symbols and Old Testament references to reveal the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promises that were given to Abraham in Genesis. However, the book of Revelation is not a secret code that allows believers to decipher the timeline of Jesus’ return. It’s a letter written by a man under persecution to seven churches located in Asia (an area that is now a part of modern-day Turkey) who are also under persecution. It’s written as both an encouragement and a challenge. As the concluding book of the Bible, Revelation is a powerful reminder that Jesus has overcome evil by his death and resurrection and will return one day as the true King of the world to remove evil permanently and make all things new. And it is this promise that has motivated every generation of God’s people to remain faithful in the midst of the inevitable challenges of life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568654713-MPV2G8AH37FSRPDMWCMY/RFM+Main.png The Rumbling Freedom of God https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568731532-05S8UTVRW0HQVQF08388/ATM+Title+Slide.png The Rumbling Freedom of God https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568763830-23AYXR3MHKOKWYCHAGWV/Letters%28Layered%29+%281%29.jpg The Rumbling Freedom of God - Letters (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Letters Philippians, Philemon Colossians and Ephesians are collectively referred to as the "Prison Letters." The Apostle Paul wrote them while he was imprisoned in Rome. The prison was probably a house where Paul was kept under close guard at all times (probably chained to a soldier). But he was given a number of freedoms not offered to most prisoners. Among them was the freedom to write letters and receive visitors. Living out God’s calling on our lives doesn’t always lead us to the places or the situations we had envisioned. It certainly didn’t for Paul. It led him to a prison in Rome. Prison was not the place Paul wanted to be, but he had confidence that God could use even this situation to accomplish the mission to which he had been called. It’s because of his trust and belief in God that he could communicate to the church at Philippi how he could be filled with joy despite his imprisonment and upcoming trial. Sometimes, like Paul, we find ourselves in situations where our initial response is “I don’t want to be here.” But God can use even our hardships for his glory and give us overwhelming joy as we live out God’s mission for our life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568778159-OJ49CM6INRWKB5FGO2EH/Dead-Man-Walking_i2_Main.jpg The Rumbling Freedom of God - Dead Man Walking (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Dead Man Walking “Dead man walking” is a poignant way to describe the incarnate life and ministry of Jesus.

Several instances are recorded by Matthew in his gospel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568792899-ZBCWE7NOJ39EV7BNSV6O/InGodWeTrust.jpg The Rumbling Freedom of God - In God We Trust (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) In God We Trust "In God We Trust." It is printed on every piece of money. But does the way that we use money actually reflect the slogan that is printed on it? We seek to spend more and to buy more without contentment or limit, we fail to save, we go into debt, and rarely find enough to share. If we started with the idea of Trusting God, is this how we would use our money? When we began with the foundational principle of trusting God, it would radically change the way that we used our money. We would give God our firsts, spend less to buy less, save more, break our debts, and give more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568808812-U1K6RKO10IZ3L8B32HR4/Resolve_January+Sermon+Series+Brand.jpg The Rumbling Freedom of God - Resolve (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Resolve did you know that only 6% of resolutions are kept? That doesn’t mean that making them is futile. Setting goals is really important. But what we sometimes overlook is all the broken patterns and obstacles and old habits and pull of the enemy that are working against us in succeeding in those goals. These things act like forces slowly eroding our resolve to go after the things that we deeply desire and long for. Re-enforce resolve=habits. RESOLVE. We have to find ways to re-enforce our resolve to keep pressing in and pursuing. The biggest way to keep going is by creating new habits and systems that are embedded into our every day lives that continuously renew our resolve, speak truth to lies, and encourage us to continue towards the life that God is calling us towards. So in this new series call Resolve, we are looking at three underlying habits and systems that if put into practice, will help us keep going so that we might experience a year that is filled with all that God desires for us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/d57d2095-7e61-4336-a6c3-e803d5a5f034/1.png https://www.clarksburgchurch.com/free-indeed daily 0.75 2025-06-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/d57d2095-7e61-4336-a6c3-e803d5a5f034/1.png Free Indeed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/cc086d00-c00a-4fdd-ba57-f11f43e09f5b/1.jpg Free Indeed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/52770b5a-adb0-4a65-b3ab-d3df6e5bdc17/Living+Bells.jpg Free Indeed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/81bc6811-58c2-4921-b662-519b53beb301/The+Gospel+In+Carols.jpg Free Indeed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/c1bd0e2a-17d9-465a-a42a-089458ae7b38/A+Heart+of+Holiness+Graphic.jpg Free Indeed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/cf09d45f-fa58-4fec-9447-b7410285606f/Kingdom+Economics.jpg Free Indeed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/b5f77bba-49e0-489d-a4ca-11e4dcd18a1c/A+new+lens.jpg Free Indeed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/708ff7fe-f363-4a5d-8a4d-0988be4417d0/1.jpg Free Indeed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/c4971593-aa41-44c8-9c1a-3293bbef7bd5/The+Just+Savior.jpg Free Indeed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/d392292e-d631-4f17-a87d-95d2023cbb06/1.jpg Free Indeed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1704723987505-RXYWURW7J83H8XKY8RBG/2.jpg Free Indeed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/cc2137af-e145-4fb3-a337-6874fa48633e/surprised.jpg Free Indeed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/5559814e-455b-42ff-b4f1-23a41252842d/More+Than+Enough.jpg Free Indeed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/2a000692-d1d4-4f56-88d3-f660ac0f5628/OriginStoriesGraphic.jpg Free Indeed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1694540499522-FD61WPN6B2RTYZO15D3S/narratives-around-fire.jpg Free Indeed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/e264eb3a-2060-43ed-bfbc-4d29efad9c36/Black+Illustrated+Floral+Line+Art+Prayer+Journal+Book+Cover+%28Presentation+%28169%29%29.jpg Free Indeed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/49a13c3f-108c-4b9d-9b58-6926dbdbde6c/Reading+Hebrew+Logo.jpg Free Indeed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/de4e8c77-2e39-4ace-b135-bb65dee59aaa/334612166_160255226857324_2542893905828679988_n.jpg Free Indeed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/5e443b9e-14f2-4fc6-89c7-ef6c4fe6770e/Black+Colorful+Abstract+Be+Creative+Facebook+Cover.png Free Indeed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/0c3bcfe0-6a72-4e09-9017-ef1fde851928/goodnews.jpg Free Indeed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/e1369b3b-aba8-4b97-a513-39799f808767/Need+A.png Free Indeed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/f1df60dc-d9fd-4f86-ae18-df27ee386aaa/The+King+has+Come+%286%29.png Free Indeed - The King Has Come (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) The King Has Come https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1670356312244-URNTO7KLVHXD5OMO4FWO/Kings-and-Prophets-Artwork-1920x1080%2B%25281%2529.jpg Free Indeed - Kings and Prophets (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Kings and Prophets What we love about scripture is that it is not just some historical documents that are supposed to tell us what we are and are not supposed to believe.

It was the supreme act of generosity. In Jesus, we see the perfect reflection of The Extravagance of God. Those who follow Jesus are called to exhibit the same kind of extravagant generosity in their own lives. Extravagant generosity is not a momentary act. It is a way of living. It is a way of seeing the world and seeing others. Extravagant generosity gives oxygen to God’s mission to redeem and restore. It’s generous people that God uses to change the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575567956302-QF4OSE4KQ91YMAV859RF/Undone02%28SeriesTitle%29+%282%29.png Free Indeed - Undone: November-December 2019 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Undone: November-December 2019 Why did Jesus come to earth? What was his ministry all about? It’s easy to miss the real purpose of Jesus’ ministry if we fail to see it within the context of the Old Testament. The entire Old Testament narrative from Genesis to Malachi is a stark reminder of the damaging impact of sin. Relationships are severed. The vulnerable are ignored. Self is deified. Power is king. The cycle of disobedience, repentance, empty promises that then lead to even greater disobedience is repeated over and over again. Luke reminds us that it is into this world of brokenness that Jesus arrives. From the very beginning of his ministry, Jesus clearly proclaims that he is the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies. He has come to heal the sick, binds up the broken, frees the enslaved and proclaims God’s saving grace. He has come to undo the ravaging effect of sin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568075835-AUXMNV6IB6I4ABPDGFLV/Full+BG+WagingWar05%28Layered%29+%281%29.png Free Indeed - Waging War: The Book of Judges (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Waging War: The Book of Judges Don't lose sight of how Judges fits into the overarching story of Scripture. Creation=perfect. Sin=everything is messed up, but God wants to restore and redeem the whole world so it is set right again. Makes a promise with Abraham and family to use them to be family through which he redeems and restores the whole world, and they are promised blessing, a name, and land. And in return, they will live in a way that will represent who God is to the rest of the world... to all the people and nations around them.

We’ve entitled the series Seven because the number seven is a symbol of completeness and is woven into every single part of the book. Revelation relies on visions, symbols and Old Testament references to reveal the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promises that were given to Abraham in Genesis. However, the book of Revelation is not a secret code that allows believers to decipher the timeline of Jesus’ return. It’s a letter written by a man under persecution to seven churches located in Asia (an area that is now a part of modern-day Turkey) who are also under persecution. It’s written as both an encouragement and a challenge. As the concluding book of the Bible, Revelation is a powerful reminder that Jesus has overcome evil by his death and resurrection and will return one day as the true King of the world to remove evil permanently and make all things new. And it is this promise that has motivated every generation of God’s people to remain faithful in the midst of the inevitable challenges of life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568654713-MPV2G8AH37FSRPDMWCMY/RFM+Main.png Free Indeed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568731532-05S8UTVRW0HQVQF08388/ATM+Title+Slide.png Free Indeed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568763830-23AYXR3MHKOKWYCHAGWV/Letters%28Layered%29+%281%29.jpg Free Indeed - Letters (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Letters Philippians, Philemon Colossians and Ephesians are collectively referred to as the "Prison Letters." The Apostle Paul wrote them while he was imprisoned in Rome. The prison was probably a house where Paul was kept under close guard at all times (probably chained to a soldier). But he was given a number of freedoms not offered to most prisoners. Among them was the freedom to write letters and receive visitors. Living out God’s calling on our lives doesn’t always lead us to the places or the situations we had envisioned. It certainly didn’t for Paul. It led him to a prison in Rome. Prison was not the place Paul wanted to be, but he had confidence that God could use even this situation to accomplish the mission to which he had been called. It’s because of his trust and belief in God that he could communicate to the church at Philippi how he could be filled with joy despite his imprisonment and upcoming trial. Sometimes, like Paul, we find ourselves in situations where our initial response is “I don’t want to be here.” But God can use even our hardships for his glory and give us overwhelming joy as we live out God’s mission for our life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568778159-OJ49CM6INRWKB5FGO2EH/Dead-Man-Walking_i2_Main.jpg Free Indeed - Dead Man Walking (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Dead Man Walking “Dead man walking” is a poignant way to describe the incarnate life and ministry of Jesus.

If we started with the idea of Trusting God, is this how we would use our money? When we began with the foundational principle of trusting God, it would radically change the way that we used our money.

That doesn’t mean that making them is futile. Setting goals is really important. But what we sometimes overlook is all the broken patterns and obstacles and old habits and pull of the enemy that are working against us in succeeding in those goals. These things act like forces slowly eroding our resolve to go after the things that we deeply desire and long for. Re-enforce resolve=habits. RESOLVE. We have to find ways to re-enforce our resolve to keep pressing in and pursuing. The biggest way to keep going is by creating new habits and systems that are embedded into our every day lives that continuously renew our resolve, speak truth to lies, and encourage us to continue towards the life that God is calling us towards. So in this new series call Resolve, we are looking at three underlying habits and systems that if put into practice, will help us keep going so that we might experience a year that is filled with all that God desires for us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/a6e9ada2-d058-4506-a721-224c679a2f22/1.jpg https://www.clarksburgchurch.com/good-fruit daily 0.75 2025-09-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/a6e9ada2-d058-4506-a721-224c679a2f22/1.jpg Good Fruit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/d57d2095-7e61-4336-a6c3-e803d5a5f034/1.png Good Fruit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/cc086d00-c00a-4fdd-ba57-f11f43e09f5b/1.jpg Good Fruit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/52770b5a-adb0-4a65-b3ab-d3df6e5bdc17/Living+Bells.jpg Good Fruit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/81bc6811-58c2-4921-b662-519b53beb301/The+Gospel+In+Carols.jpg Good Fruit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/c1bd0e2a-17d9-465a-a42a-089458ae7b38/A+Heart+of+Holiness+Graphic.jpg Good Fruit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/cf09d45f-fa58-4fec-9447-b7410285606f/Kingdom+Economics.jpg Good Fruit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/b5f77bba-49e0-489d-a4ca-11e4dcd18a1c/A+new+lens.jpg Good Fruit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/708ff7fe-f363-4a5d-8a4d-0988be4417d0/1.jpg Good Fruit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/c4971593-aa41-44c8-9c1a-3293bbef7bd5/The+Just+Savior.jpg Good Fruit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/d392292e-d631-4f17-a87d-95d2023cbb06/1.jpg Good Fruit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1704723987505-RXYWURW7J83H8XKY8RBG/2.jpg Good Fruit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/cc2137af-e145-4fb3-a337-6874fa48633e/surprised.jpg Good Fruit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/5559814e-455b-42ff-b4f1-23a41252842d/More+Than+Enough.jpg Good Fruit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/2a000692-d1d4-4f56-88d3-f660ac0f5628/OriginStoriesGraphic.jpg Good Fruit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1694540499522-FD61WPN6B2RTYZO15D3S/narratives-around-fire.jpg Good Fruit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/e264eb3a-2060-43ed-bfbc-4d29efad9c36/Black+Illustrated+Floral+Line+Art+Prayer+Journal+Book+Cover+%28Presentation+%28169%29%29.jpg Good Fruit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/49a13c3f-108c-4b9d-9b58-6926dbdbde6c/Reading+Hebrew+Logo.jpg Good Fruit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/de4e8c77-2e39-4ace-b135-bb65dee59aaa/334612166_160255226857324_2542893905828679988_n.jpg Good Fruit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/5e443b9e-14f2-4fc6-89c7-ef6c4fe6770e/Black+Colorful+Abstract+Be+Creative+Facebook+Cover.png Good Fruit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/0c3bcfe0-6a72-4e09-9017-ef1fde851928/goodnews.jpg Good Fruit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/e1369b3b-aba8-4b97-a513-39799f808767/Need+A.png Good Fruit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/f1df60dc-d9fd-4f86-ae18-df27ee386aaa/The+King+has+Come+%286%29.png Good Fruit - The King Has Come (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) The King Has Come https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1670356312244-URNTO7KLVHXD5OMO4FWO/Kings-and-Prophets-Artwork-1920x1080%2B%25281%2529.jpg Good Fruit - Kings and Prophets (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Kings and Prophets What we love about scripture is that it is not just some historical documents that are supposed to tell us what we are and are not supposed to believe.

It sounds complicated and often leaves us feeling like we don’t know where to start, we aren’t enough to make it happen, or we are being inauthentic to who we actually are. But at Clarksburg, we believe that there is a way we can see the church as a group of ordinary people who are all sent to announce and demonstrate the reign of God through Christ in the places that we live, work, and play, without expecting ourselves to be something that we are not or something less than we should be. We have identified some rhythms and habits, a Rule of Life, that Clarksburg can incorporate into their everyday life to live out this mission: Bless, Eat, Listen, Learn, Sent. While the words have changed to be more clear and simple from the former Rule of Life, the values and implementation are the same. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1580329313613-7T389N0Z2Z7W4U8L5P3E/image-asset.jpeg Good Fruit - The Extravagance: December 2019 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) The Extravagance: December 2019 Scripture is clear. Jesus came to earth not to take but to give. His incarnation, his ministry, and ultimately, his death on a cross were all acts of extravagant generosity. God gave his one and only Son for you and me. It was the supreme act of generosity. In Jesus, we see the perfect reflection of The Extravagance of God. Those who follow Jesus are called to exhibit the same kind of extravagant generosity in their own lives. Extravagant generosity is not a momentary act. It is a way of living. It is a way of seeing the world and seeing others. Extravagant generosity gives oxygen to God’s mission to redeem and restore. It’s generous people that God uses to change the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575567956302-QF4OSE4KQ91YMAV859RF/Undone02%28SeriesTitle%29+%282%29.png Good Fruit - Undone: November-December 2019 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Undone: November-December 2019 Why did Jesus come to earth? What was his ministry all about? It’s easy to miss the real purpose of Jesus’ ministry if we fail to see it within the context of the Old Testament. The entire Old Testament narrative from Genesis to Malachi is a stark reminder of the damaging impact of sin. Relationships are severed. The vulnerable are ignored. Self is deified. Power is king. The cycle of disobedience, repentance, empty promises that then lead to even greater disobedience is repeated over and over again. Luke reminds us that it is into this world of brokenness that Jesus arrives. From the very beginning of his ministry, Jesus clearly proclaims that he is the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies. He has come to heal the sick, binds up the broken, frees the enslaved and proclaims God’s saving grace. He has come to undo the ravaging effect of sin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568075835-AUXMNV6IB6I4ABPDGFLV/Full+BG+WagingWar05%28Layered%29+%281%29.png Good Fruit - Waging War: The Book of Judges (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Waging War: The Book of Judges Don't lose sight of how Judges fits into the overarching story of Scripture. Creation=perfect. Sin=everything is messed up, but God wants to restore and redeem the whole world so it is set right again. Makes a promise with Abraham and family to use them to be family through which he redeems and restores the whole world, and they are promised blessing, a name, and land. And in return, they will live in a way that will represent who God is to the rest of the world... to all the people and nations around them. He is calling to live this counter-cultural life that reflects God's image and character instead of their own. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568078938-EYIFOYNMDTNMEG4H3C1A/promised_OG.jpg Good Fruit - Promised (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Promised This four-week study in the book of Genesis that focuses on Abraham and his descendants (Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph). These four characters in the biblical narrative are a reflection of all of us. They are a complex mixture of faithfulness and faithlessness. They want to trust God, but often they do just the opposite. Their stories are fascinating, compelling and messy. As we study them, we are reminded that God will accomplish what he has promised – no matter what. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568115791-L7YWLAXOBKHUG8XB3K6P/RFM_OG.jpg Good Fruit - Seven: A Study of Revelation (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Seven: A Study of Revelation The book of Revelation is a vision given by God to John while he was exiled on the Island of Patmos because of his outspoken witness to Jesus Christ. We’ve entitled the series Seven because the number seven is a symbol of completeness and is woven into every single part of the book. Revelation relies on visions, symbols and Old Testament references to reveal the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promises that were given to Abraham in Genesis. However, the book of Revelation is not a secret code that allows believers to decipher the timeline of Jesus’ return. It’s a letter written by a man under persecution to seven churches located in Asia (an area that is now a part of modern-day Turkey) who are also under persecution. It’s written as both an encouragement and a challenge. As the concluding book of the Bible, Revelation is a powerful reminder that Jesus has overcome evil by his death and resurrection and will return one day as the true King of the world to remove evil permanently and make all things new. And it is this promise that has motivated every generation of God’s people to remain faithful in the midst of the inevitable challenges of life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568654713-MPV2G8AH37FSRPDMWCMY/RFM+Main.png Good Fruit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568731532-05S8UTVRW0HQVQF08388/ATM+Title+Slide.png Good Fruit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568763830-23AYXR3MHKOKWYCHAGWV/Letters%28Layered%29+%281%29.jpg Good Fruit - Letters (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Letters Philippians, Philemon Colossians and Ephesians are collectively referred to as the "Prison Letters." The Apostle Paul wrote them while he was imprisoned in Rome. The prison was probably a house where Paul was kept under close guard at all times (probably chained to a soldier). But he was given a number of freedoms not offered to most prisoners. Among them was the freedom to write letters and receive visitors. Living out God’s calling on our lives doesn’t always lead us to the places or the situations we had envisioned. It certainly didn’t for Paul. It led him to a prison in Rome. Prison was not the place Paul wanted to be, but he had confidence that God could use even this situation to accomplish the mission to which he had been called. It’s because of his trust and belief in God that he could communicate to the church at Philippi how he could be filled with joy despite his imprisonment and upcoming trial. Sometimes, like Paul, we find ourselves in situations where our initial response is “I don’t want to be here.” But God can use even our hardships for his glory and give us overwhelming joy as we live out God’s mission for our life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568778159-OJ49CM6INRWKB5FGO2EH/Dead-Man-Walking_i2_Main.jpg Good Fruit - Dead Man Walking (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Dead Man Walking “Dead man walking” is a poignant way to describe the incarnate life and ministry of Jesus. His death was so imminent, so certain, so real that it loomed over every step he took toward Jerusalem and the cross. As the time drew closer, Jesus spoke about it with his disciples. Several instances are recorded by Matthew in his gospel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568792899-ZBCWE7NOJ39EV7BNSV6O/InGodWeTrust.jpg Good Fruit - In God We Trust (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) In God We Trust "In God We Trust." It is printed on every piece of money. But does the way that we use money actually reflect the slogan that is printed on it? We seek to spend more and to buy more without contentment or limit, we fail to save, we go into debt, and rarely find enough to share. If we started with the idea of Trusting God, is this how we would use our money? When we began with the foundational principle of trusting God, it would radically change the way that we used our money. We would give God our firsts, spend less to buy less, save more, break our debts, and give more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568808812-U1K6RKO10IZ3L8B32HR4/Resolve_January+Sermon+Series+Brand.jpg Good Fruit - Resolve (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Resolve did you know that only 6% of resolutions are kept? That doesn’t mean that making them is futile. Setting goals is really important. But what we sometimes overlook is all the broken patterns and obstacles and old habits and pull of the enemy that are working against us in succeeding in those goals. These things act like forces slowly eroding our resolve to go after the things that we deeply desire and long for. Re-enforce resolve=habits. RESOLVE. We have to find ways to re-enforce our resolve to keep pressing in and pursuing. The biggest way to keep going is by creating new habits and systems that are embedded into our every day lives that continuously renew our resolve, speak truth to lies, and encourage us to continue towards the life that God is calling us towards. So in this new series call Resolve, we are looking at three underlying habits and systems that if put into practice, will help us keep going so that we might experience a year that is filled with all that God desires for us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/8262a15e-d2fd-4cd7-a142-6538e97e4ee3/Good+Fruit+Title+Slide.png https://www.clarksburgchurch.com/not-me-lord daily 0.75 2025-10-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/8262a15e-d2fd-4cd7-a142-6538e97e4ee3/Good+Fruit+Title+Slide.png Not Me Lord Good Fruit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/a6e9ada2-d058-4506-a721-224c679a2f22/1.jpg Not Me Lord https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/d57d2095-7e61-4336-a6c3-e803d5a5f034/1.png Not Me Lord https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/cc086d00-c00a-4fdd-ba57-f11f43e09f5b/1.jpg Not Me Lord https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/52770b5a-adb0-4a65-b3ab-d3df6e5bdc17/Living+Bells.jpg Not Me Lord https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/81bc6811-58c2-4921-b662-519b53beb301/The+Gospel+In+Carols.jpg Not Me Lord https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/c1bd0e2a-17d9-465a-a42a-089458ae7b38/A+Heart+of+Holiness+Graphic.jpg Not Me Lord https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/cf09d45f-fa58-4fec-9447-b7410285606f/Kingdom+Economics.jpg Not Me Lord https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/b5f77bba-49e0-489d-a4ca-11e4dcd18a1c/A+new+lens.jpg Not Me Lord https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/708ff7fe-f363-4a5d-8a4d-0988be4417d0/1.jpg Not Me Lord https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/c4971593-aa41-44c8-9c1a-3293bbef7bd5/The+Just+Savior.jpg Not Me Lord https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/d392292e-d631-4f17-a87d-95d2023cbb06/1.jpg Not Me Lord https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1704723987505-RXYWURW7J83H8XKY8RBG/2.jpg Not Me Lord https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/cc2137af-e145-4fb3-a337-6874fa48633e/surprised.jpg Not Me Lord https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/5559814e-455b-42ff-b4f1-23a41252842d/More+Than+Enough.jpg Not Me Lord https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/2a000692-d1d4-4f56-88d3-f660ac0f5628/OriginStoriesGraphic.jpg Not Me Lord https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1694540499522-FD61WPN6B2RTYZO15D3S/narratives-around-fire.jpg Not Me Lord https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/e264eb3a-2060-43ed-bfbc-4d29efad9c36/Black+Illustrated+Floral+Line+Art+Prayer+Journal+Book+Cover+%28Presentation+%28169%29%29.jpg Not Me Lord https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/49a13c3f-108c-4b9d-9b58-6926dbdbde6c/Reading+Hebrew+Logo.jpg Not Me Lord https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/de4e8c77-2e39-4ace-b135-bb65dee59aaa/334612166_160255226857324_2542893905828679988_n.jpg Not Me Lord https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/5e443b9e-14f2-4fc6-89c7-ef6c4fe6770e/Black+Colorful+Abstract+Be+Creative+Facebook+Cover.png Not Me Lord https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/0c3bcfe0-6a72-4e09-9017-ef1fde851928/goodnews.jpg Not Me Lord https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/e1369b3b-aba8-4b97-a513-39799f808767/Need+A.png Not Me Lord https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/f1df60dc-d9fd-4f86-ae18-df27ee386aaa/The+King+has+Come+%286%29.png Not Me Lord - The King Has Come (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) The King Has Come https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1670356312244-URNTO7KLVHXD5OMO4FWO/Kings-and-Prophets-Artwork-1920x1080%2B%25281%2529.jpg Not Me Lord - Kings and Prophets (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Kings and Prophets What we love about scripture is that it is not just some historical documents that are supposed to tell us what we are and are not supposed to believe.

It sounds complicated and often leaves us feeling like we don’t know where to start, we aren’t enough to make it happen, or we are being inauthentic to who we actually are. But at Clarksburg, we believe that there is a way we can see the church as a group of ordinary people who are all sent to announce and demonstrate the reign of God through Christ in the places that we live, work, and play, without expecting ourselves to be something that we are not or something less than we should be. We have identified some rhythms and habits, a Rule of Life, that Clarksburg can incorporate into their everyday life to live out this mission: Bless, Eat, Listen, Learn, Sent. While the words have changed to be more clear and simple from the former Rule of Life, the values and implementation are the same. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1580329313613-7T389N0Z2Z7W4U8L5P3E/image-asset.jpeg Not Me Lord - The Extravagance: December 2019 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) The Extravagance: December 2019 Scripture is clear. Jesus came to earth not to take but to give. His incarnation, his ministry, and ultimately, his death on a cross were all acts of extravagant generosity. God gave his one and only Son for you and me. It was the supreme act of generosity. In Jesus, we see the perfect reflection of The Extravagance of God. Those who follow Jesus are called to exhibit the same kind of extravagant generosity in their own lives. Extravagant generosity is not a momentary act. It is a way of living. It is a way of seeing the world and seeing others. Extravagant generosity gives oxygen to God’s mission to redeem and restore. It’s generous people that God uses to change the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575567956302-QF4OSE4KQ91YMAV859RF/Undone02%28SeriesTitle%29+%282%29.png Not Me Lord - Undone: November-December 2019 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Undone: November-December 2019 Why did Jesus come to earth? What was his ministry all about? It’s easy to miss the real purpose of Jesus’ ministry if we fail to see it within the context of the Old Testament. The entire Old Testament narrative from Genesis to Malachi is a stark reminder of the damaging impact of sin. Relationships are severed. The vulnerable are ignored. Self is deified. Power is king. The cycle of disobedience, repentance, empty promises that then lead to even greater disobedience is repeated over and over again. Luke reminds us that it is into this world of brokenness that Jesus arrives. From the very beginning of his ministry, Jesus clearly proclaims that he is the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies. He has come to heal the sick, binds up the broken, frees the enslaved and proclaims God’s saving grace. He has come to undo the ravaging effect of sin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568075835-AUXMNV6IB6I4ABPDGFLV/Full+BG+WagingWar05%28Layered%29+%281%29.png Not Me Lord - Waging War: The Book of Judges (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Waging War: The Book of Judges Don't lose sight of how Judges fits into the overarching story of Scripture. Creation=perfect. Sin=everything is messed up, but God wants to restore and redeem the whole world so it is set right again. Makes a promise with Abraham and family to use them to be family through which he redeems and restores the whole world, and they are promised blessing, a name, and land. And in return, they will live in a way that will represent who God is to the rest of the world... to all the people and nations around them. He is calling to live this counter-cultural life that reflects God's image and character instead of their own. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568078938-EYIFOYNMDTNMEG4H3C1A/promised_OG.jpg Not Me Lord - Promised (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Promised This four-week study in the book of Genesis that focuses on Abraham and his descendants (Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph). These four characters in the biblical narrative are a reflection of all of us. They are a complex mixture of faithfulness and faithlessness. They want to trust God, but often they do just the opposite. Their stories are fascinating, compelling and messy. As we study them, we are reminded that God will accomplish what he has promised – no matter what. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568115791-L7YWLAXOBKHUG8XB3K6P/RFM_OG.jpg Not Me Lord - Seven: A Study of Revelation (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Seven: A Study of Revelation The book of Revelation is a vision given by God to John while he was exiled on the Island of Patmos because of his outspoken witness to Jesus Christ. We’ve entitled the series Seven because the number seven is a symbol of completeness and is woven into every single part of the book. Revelation relies on visions, symbols and Old Testament references to reveal the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promises that were given to Abraham in Genesis. However, the book of Revelation is not a secret code that allows believers to decipher the timeline of Jesus’ return. It’s a letter written by a man under persecution to seven churches located in Asia (an area that is now a part of modern-day Turkey) who are also under persecution. It’s written as both an encouragement and a challenge. As the concluding book of the Bible, Revelation is a powerful reminder that Jesus has overcome evil by his death and resurrection and will return one day as the true King of the world to remove evil permanently and make all things new. And it is this promise that has motivated every generation of God’s people to remain faithful in the midst of the inevitable challenges of life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568654713-MPV2G8AH37FSRPDMWCMY/RFM+Main.png Not Me Lord https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568731532-05S8UTVRW0HQVQF08388/ATM+Title+Slide.png Not Me Lord https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568763830-23AYXR3MHKOKWYCHAGWV/Letters%28Layered%29+%281%29.jpg Not Me Lord - Letters (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Letters Philippians, Philemon Colossians and Ephesians are collectively referred to as the "Prison Letters." The Apostle Paul wrote them while he was imprisoned in Rome. The prison was probably a house where Paul was kept under close guard at all times (probably chained to a soldier). But he was given a number of freedoms not offered to most prisoners. Among them was the freedom to write letters and receive visitors. Living out God’s calling on our lives doesn’t always lead us to the places or the situations we had envisioned. It certainly didn’t for Paul. It led him to a prison in Rome. Prison was not the place Paul wanted to be, but he had confidence that God could use even this situation to accomplish the mission to which he had been called. It’s because of his trust and belief in God that he could communicate to the church at Philippi how he could be filled with joy despite his imprisonment and upcoming trial. Sometimes, like Paul, we find ourselves in situations where our initial response is “I don’t want to be here.” But God can use even our hardships for his glory and give us overwhelming joy as we live out God’s mission for our life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568778159-OJ49CM6INRWKB5FGO2EH/Dead-Man-Walking_i2_Main.jpg Not Me Lord - Dead Man Walking (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Dead Man Walking “Dead man walking” is a poignant way to describe the incarnate life and ministry of Jesus. His death was so imminent, so certain, so real that it loomed over every step he took toward Jerusalem and the cross. As the time drew closer, Jesus spoke about it with his disciples. Several instances are recorded by Matthew in his gospel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568792899-ZBCWE7NOJ39EV7BNSV6O/InGodWeTrust.jpg Not Me Lord - In God We Trust (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) In God We Trust "In God We Trust." It is printed on every piece of money. But does the way that we use money actually reflect the slogan that is printed on it? We seek to spend more and to buy more without contentment or limit, we fail to save, we go into debt, and rarely find enough to share. If we started with the idea of Trusting God, is this how we would use our money? When we began with the foundational principle of trusting God, it would radically change the way that we used our money. We would give God our firsts, spend less to buy less, save more, break our debts, and give more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568808812-U1K6RKO10IZ3L8B32HR4/Resolve_January+Sermon+Series+Brand.jpg Not Me Lord - Resolve (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Resolve did you know that only 6% of resolutions are kept? That doesn’t mean that making them is futile. Setting goals is really important. But what we sometimes overlook is all the broken patterns and obstacles and old habits and pull of the enemy that are working against us in succeeding in those goals. These things act like forces slowly eroding our resolve to go after the things that we deeply desire and long for. Re-enforce resolve=habits. RESOLVE. We have to find ways to re-enforce our resolve to keep pressing in and pursuing. The biggest way to keep going is by creating new habits and systems that are embedded into our every day lives that continuously renew our resolve, speak truth to lies, and encourage us to continue towards the life that God is calling us towards. So in this new series call Resolve, we are looking at three underlying habits and systems that if put into practice, will help us keep going so that we might experience a year that is filled with all that God desires for us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/68c68fcf-1ca9-45f7-98e9-8f49835d5a0a/Not+Me+Lord+Title+Slide.png https://www.clarksburgchurch.com/royal-priesthood daily 0.75 2025-12-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/68c68fcf-1ca9-45f7-98e9-8f49835d5a0a/Not+Me+Lord+Title+Slide.png The Royal Priesthood https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/8262a15e-d2fd-4cd7-a142-6538e97e4ee3/Good+Fruit+Title+Slide.png The Royal Priesthood Good Fruit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/a6e9ada2-d058-4506-a721-224c679a2f22/1.jpg The Royal Priesthood https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/d57d2095-7e61-4336-a6c3-e803d5a5f034/1.png The Royal Priesthood https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/cc086d00-c00a-4fdd-ba57-f11f43e09f5b/1.jpg The Royal Priesthood https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/52770b5a-adb0-4a65-b3ab-d3df6e5bdc17/Living+Bells.jpg The Royal Priesthood https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/81bc6811-58c2-4921-b662-519b53beb301/The+Gospel+In+Carols.jpg The Royal Priesthood https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/c1bd0e2a-17d9-465a-a42a-089458ae7b38/A+Heart+of+Holiness+Graphic.jpg The Royal Priesthood https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/cf09d45f-fa58-4fec-9447-b7410285606f/Kingdom+Economics.jpg The Royal Priesthood https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/b5f77bba-49e0-489d-a4ca-11e4dcd18a1c/A+new+lens.jpg The Royal Priesthood https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/708ff7fe-f363-4a5d-8a4d-0988be4417d0/1.jpg The Royal Priesthood https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/c4971593-aa41-44c8-9c1a-3293bbef7bd5/The+Just+Savior.jpg The Royal Priesthood https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/d392292e-d631-4f17-a87d-95d2023cbb06/1.jpg The Royal Priesthood https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1704723987505-RXYWURW7J83H8XKY8RBG/2.jpg The Royal Priesthood https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/cc2137af-e145-4fb3-a337-6874fa48633e/surprised.jpg The Royal Priesthood https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/5559814e-455b-42ff-b4f1-23a41252842d/More+Than+Enough.jpg The Royal Priesthood https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/2a000692-d1d4-4f56-88d3-f660ac0f5628/OriginStoriesGraphic.jpg The Royal Priesthood https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1694540499522-FD61WPN6B2RTYZO15D3S/narratives-around-fire.jpg The Royal Priesthood https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/e264eb3a-2060-43ed-bfbc-4d29efad9c36/Black+Illustrated+Floral+Line+Art+Prayer+Journal+Book+Cover+%28Presentation+%28169%29%29.jpg The Royal Priesthood https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/49a13c3f-108c-4b9d-9b58-6926dbdbde6c/Reading+Hebrew+Logo.jpg The Royal Priesthood https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/de4e8c77-2e39-4ace-b135-bb65dee59aaa/334612166_160255226857324_2542893905828679988_n.jpg The Royal Priesthood https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/5e443b9e-14f2-4fc6-89c7-ef6c4fe6770e/Black+Colorful+Abstract+Be+Creative+Facebook+Cover.png The Royal Priesthood https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/0c3bcfe0-6a72-4e09-9017-ef1fde851928/goodnews.jpg The Royal Priesthood https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/e1369b3b-aba8-4b97-a513-39799f808767/Need+A.png The Royal Priesthood https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/f1df60dc-d9fd-4f86-ae18-df27ee386aaa/The+King+has+Come+%286%29.png The Royal Priesthood - The King Has Come (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) The King Has Come https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1670356312244-URNTO7KLVHXD5OMO4FWO/Kings-and-Prophets-Artwork-1920x1080%2B%25281%2529.jpg The Royal Priesthood - Kings and Prophets (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Kings and Prophets What we love about scripture is that it is not just some historical documents that are supposed to tell us what we are and are not supposed to believe.

Throughout the book, God reveals himself as the God who rescues, the God who redeems, who sets free. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1631721579645-PGGWL5UO8P48S5H3AB1L/Town+Hall+Slide+copy.jpg The Royal Priesthood - Town Hall Service (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Town Hall Service As a church, we are different than we were two years ago.

But the New Testament book of James (written by the half-brother of Jesus), reminds us that suffering is a paradoxical gift that can show us any fractures in our faith. In other words, the fracturing of our world reveals the integrity or inauthenticity of our faith. God can use these trials to fulfill his mission to help us become complete, whole, integrated, and perfect. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1626877976592-L4OHW6IBBTI4FZD2IH48/image-asset.jpeg The Royal Priesthood - The Believers (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) The Believers Instead of following the Holy Spirit to cross all barriers, the Church has often been responsible for creating barriers, boundaries, and obstacles to participating in the Kingdom.

It sounds complicated and often leaves us feeling like we don’t know where to start, we aren’t enough to make it happen, or we are being inauthentic to who we actually are. But at Clarksburg, we believe that there is a way we can see the church as a group of ordinary people who are all sent to announce and demonstrate the reign of God through Christ in the places that we live, work, and play, without expecting ourselves to be something that we are not or something less than we should be. We have identified some rhythms and habits, a Rule of Life, that Clarksburg can incorporate into their everyday life to live out this mission: Bless, Eat, Listen, Learn, Sent. While the words have changed to be more clear and simple from the former Rule of Life, the values and implementation are the same. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1580329313613-7T389N0Z2Z7W4U8L5P3E/image-asset.jpeg The Royal Priesthood - The Extravagance: December 2019 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) The Extravagance: December 2019 Scripture is clear. Jesus came to earth not to take but to give. His incarnation, his ministry, and ultimately, his death on a cross were all acts of extravagant generosity. God gave his one and only Son for you and me. It was the supreme act of generosity. In Jesus, we see the perfect reflection of The Extravagance of God. Those who follow Jesus are called to exhibit the same kind of extravagant generosity in their own lives. Extravagant generosity is not a momentary act. It is a way of living. It is a way of seeing the world and seeing others. Extravagant generosity gives oxygen to God’s mission to redeem and restore. It’s generous people that God uses to change the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575567956302-QF4OSE4KQ91YMAV859RF/Undone02%28SeriesTitle%29+%282%29.png The Royal Priesthood - Undone: November-December 2019 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Undone: November-December 2019 Why did Jesus come to earth? What was his ministry all about? It’s easy to miss the real purpose of Jesus’ ministry if we fail to see it within the context of the Old Testament. The entire Old Testament narrative from Genesis to Malachi is a stark reminder of the damaging impact of sin. Relationships are severed. The vulnerable are ignored. Self is deified. Power is king. The cycle of disobedience, repentance, empty promises that then lead to even greater disobedience is repeated over and over again. Luke reminds us that it is into this world of brokenness that Jesus arrives. From the very beginning of his ministry, Jesus clearly proclaims that he is the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies. He has come to heal the sick, binds up the broken, frees the enslaved and proclaims God’s saving grace. He has come to undo the ravaging effect of sin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568075835-AUXMNV6IB6I4ABPDGFLV/Full+BG+WagingWar05%28Layered%29+%281%29.png The Royal Priesthood - Waging War: The Book of Judges (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Waging War: The Book of Judges Don't lose sight of how Judges fits into the overarching story of Scripture. Creation=perfect. Sin=everything is messed up, but God wants to restore and redeem the whole world so it is set right again. Makes a promise with Abraham and family to use them to be family through which he redeems and restores the whole world, and they are promised blessing, a name, and land. And in return, they will live in a way that will represent who God is to the rest of the world... to all the people and nations around them. He is calling to live this counter-cultural life that reflects God's image and character instead of their own. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568078938-EYIFOYNMDTNMEG4H3C1A/promised_OG.jpg The Royal Priesthood - Promised (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Promised This four-week study in the book of Genesis that focuses on Abraham and his descendants (Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph). These four characters in the biblical narrative are a reflection of all of us. They are a complex mixture of faithfulness and faithlessness. They want to trust God, but often they do just the opposite. Their stories are fascinating, compelling and messy. As we study them, we are reminded that God will accomplish what he has promised – no matter what. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568115791-L7YWLAXOBKHUG8XB3K6P/RFM_OG.jpg The Royal Priesthood - Seven: A Study of Revelation (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Seven: A Study of Revelation The book of Revelation is a vision given by God to John while he was exiled on the Island of Patmos because of his outspoken witness to Jesus Christ. We’ve entitled the series Seven because the number seven is a symbol of completeness and is woven into every single part of the book. Revelation relies on visions, symbols and Old Testament references to reveal the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promises that were given to Abraham in Genesis. However, the book of Revelation is not a secret code that allows believers to decipher the timeline of Jesus’ return. It’s a letter written by a man under persecution to seven churches located in Asia (an area that is now a part of modern-day Turkey) who are also under persecution. It’s written as both an encouragement and a challenge. As the concluding book of the Bible, Revelation is a powerful reminder that Jesus has overcome evil by his death and resurrection and will return one day as the true King of the world to remove evil permanently and make all things new. And it is this promise that has motivated every generation of God’s people to remain faithful in the midst of the inevitable challenges of life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568654713-MPV2G8AH37FSRPDMWCMY/RFM+Main.png The Royal Priesthood https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568731532-05S8UTVRW0HQVQF08388/ATM+Title+Slide.png The Royal Priesthood https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568763830-23AYXR3MHKOKWYCHAGWV/Letters%28Layered%29+%281%29.jpg The Royal Priesthood - Letters (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Letters Philippians, Philemon Colossians and Ephesians are collectively referred to as the "Prison Letters." The Apostle Paul wrote them while he was imprisoned in Rome. The prison was probably a house where Paul was kept under close guard at all times (probably chained to a soldier). But he was given a number of freedoms not offered to most prisoners. Among them was the freedom to write letters and receive visitors. Living out God’s calling on our lives doesn’t always lead us to the places or the situations we had envisioned. It certainly didn’t for Paul. It led him to a prison in Rome. Prison was not the place Paul wanted to be, but he had confidence that God could use even this situation to accomplish the mission to which he had been called. It’s because of his trust and belief in God that he could communicate to the church at Philippi how he could be filled with joy despite his imprisonment and upcoming trial. Sometimes, like Paul, we find ourselves in situations where our initial response is “I don’t want to be here.” But God can use even our hardships for his glory and give us overwhelming joy as we live out God’s mission for our life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568778159-OJ49CM6INRWKB5FGO2EH/Dead-Man-Walking_i2_Main.jpg The Royal Priesthood - Dead Man Walking (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Dead Man Walking “Dead man walking” is a poignant way to describe the incarnate life and ministry of Jesus. His death was so imminent, so certain, so real that it loomed over every step he took toward Jerusalem and the cross. As the time drew closer, Jesus spoke about it with his disciples. Several instances are recorded by Matthew in his gospel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568792899-ZBCWE7NOJ39EV7BNSV6O/InGodWeTrust.jpg The Royal Priesthood - In God We Trust (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) In God We Trust "In God We Trust." It is printed on every piece of money. But does the way that we use money actually reflect the slogan that is printed on it? We seek to spend more and to buy more without contentment or limit, we fail to save, we go into debt, and rarely find enough to share. If we started with the idea of Trusting God, is this how we would use our money? When we began with the foundational principle of trusting God, it would radically change the way that we used our money. We would give God our firsts, spend less to buy less, save more, break our debts, and give more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568808812-U1K6RKO10IZ3L8B32HR4/Resolve_January+Sermon+Series+Brand.jpg The Royal Priesthood - Resolve (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Resolve did you know that only 6% of resolutions are kept? That doesn’t mean that making them is futile. Setting goals is really important. But what we sometimes overlook is all the broken patterns and obstacles and old habits and pull of the enemy that are working against us in succeeding in those goals. These things act like forces slowly eroding our resolve to go after the things that we deeply desire and long for. Re-enforce resolve=habits. RESOLVE. We have to find ways to re-enforce our resolve to keep pressing in and pursuing. The biggest way to keep going is by creating new habits and systems that are embedded into our every day lives that continuously renew our resolve, speak truth to lies, and encourage us to continue towards the life that God is calling us towards.

But the New Testament book of James (written by the half-brother of Jesus), reminds us that suffering is a paradoxical gift that can show us any fractures in our faith. In other words, the fracturing of our world reveals the integrity or inauthenticity of our faith. God can use these trials to fulfill his mission to help us become complete, whole, integrated, and perfect. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1626877976592-L4OHW6IBBTI4FZD2IH48/image-asset.jpeg Hope - The Believers (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) The Believers Instead of following the Holy Spirit to cross all barriers, the Church has often been responsible for creating barriers, boundaries, and obstacles to participating in the Kingdom.

It sounds complicated and often leaves us feeling like we don’t know where to start, we aren’t enough to make it happen, or we are being inauthentic to who we actually are. But at Clarksburg, we believe that there is a way we can see the church as a group of ordinary people who are all sent to announce and demonstrate the reign of God through Christ in the places that we live, work, and play, without expecting ourselves to be something that we are not or something less than we should be. We have identified some rhythms and habits, a Rule of Life, that Clarksburg can incorporate into their everyday life to live out this mission: Bless, Eat, Listen, Learn, Sent. While the words have changed to be more clear and simple from the former Rule of Life, the values and implementation are the same. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1580329313613-7T389N0Z2Z7W4U8L5P3E/image-asset.jpeg Hope - The Extravagance: December 2019 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) The Extravagance: December 2019 Scripture is clear. Jesus came to earth not to take but to give. His incarnation, his ministry, and ultimately, his death on a cross were all acts of extravagant generosity. God gave his one and only Son for you and me. It was the supreme act of generosity. In Jesus, we see the perfect reflection of The Extravagance of God. Those who follow Jesus are called to exhibit the same kind of extravagant generosity in their own lives. Extravagant generosity is not a momentary act. It is a way of living. It is a way of seeing the world and seeing others. Extravagant generosity gives oxygen to God’s mission to redeem and restore. It’s generous people that God uses to change the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575567956302-QF4OSE4KQ91YMAV859RF/Undone02%28SeriesTitle%29+%282%29.png Hope - Undone: November-December 2019 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Undone: November-December 2019 Why did Jesus come to earth? What was his ministry all about? It’s easy to miss the real purpose of Jesus’ ministry if we fail to see it within the context of the Old Testament. The entire Old Testament narrative from Genesis to Malachi is a stark reminder of the damaging impact of sin. Relationships are severed. The vulnerable are ignored. Self is deified. Power is king. The cycle of disobedience, repentance, empty promises that then lead to even greater disobedience is repeated over and over again. Luke reminds us that it is into this world of brokenness that Jesus arrives. From the very beginning of his ministry, Jesus clearly proclaims that he is the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies. He has come to heal the sick, binds up the broken, frees the enslaved and proclaims God’s saving grace. He has come to undo the ravaging effect of sin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568075835-AUXMNV6IB6I4ABPDGFLV/Full+BG+WagingWar05%28Layered%29+%281%29.png Hope - Waging War: The Book of Judges (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Waging War: The Book of Judges Don't lose sight of how Judges fits into the overarching story of Scripture. Creation=perfect. Sin=everything is messed up, but God wants to restore and redeem the whole world so it is set right again. Makes a promise with Abraham and family to use them to be family through which he redeems and restores the whole world, and they are promised blessing, a name, and land. And in return, they will live in a way that will represent who God is to the rest of the world... to all the people and nations around them. He is calling to live this counter-cultural life that reflects God's image and character instead of their own. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568078938-EYIFOYNMDTNMEG4H3C1A/promised_OG.jpg Hope - Promised (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Promised This four-week study in the book of Genesis that focuses on Abraham and his descendants (Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph). These four characters in the biblical narrative are a reflection of all of us. They are a complex mixture of faithfulness and faithlessness. They want to trust God, but often they do just the opposite. Their stories are fascinating, compelling and messy. As we study them, we are reminded that God will accomplish what he has promised – no matter what. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568115791-L7YWLAXOBKHUG8XB3K6P/RFM_OG.jpg Hope - Seven: A Study of Revelation (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Seven: A Study of Revelation The book of Revelation is a vision given by God to John while he was exiled on the Island of Patmos because of his outspoken witness to Jesus Christ. We’ve entitled the series Seven because the number seven is a symbol of completeness and is woven into every single part of the book. Revelation relies on visions, symbols and Old Testament references to reveal the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promises that were given to Abraham in Genesis. However, the book of Revelation is not a secret code that allows believers to decipher the timeline of Jesus’ return. It’s a letter written by a man under persecution to seven churches located in Asia (an area that is now a part of modern-day Turkey) who are also under persecution. It’s written as both an encouragement and a challenge. As the concluding book of the Bible, Revelation is a powerful reminder that Jesus has overcome evil by his death and resurrection and will return one day as the true King of the world to remove evil permanently and make all things new. And it is this promise that has motivated every generation of God’s people to remain faithful in the midst of the inevitable challenges of life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568654713-MPV2G8AH37FSRPDMWCMY/RFM+Main.png Hope https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568731532-05S8UTVRW0HQVQF08388/ATM+Title+Slide.png Hope https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568763830-23AYXR3MHKOKWYCHAGWV/Letters%28Layered%29+%281%29.jpg Hope - Letters (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Letters Philippians, Philemon Colossians and Ephesians are collectively referred to as the "Prison Letters." The Apostle Paul wrote them while he was imprisoned in Rome. The prison was probably a house where Paul was kept under close guard at all times (probably chained to a soldier). But he was given a number of freedoms not offered to most prisoners. Among them was the freedom to write letters and receive visitors. Living out God’s calling on our lives doesn’t always lead us to the places or the situations we had envisioned. It certainly didn’t for Paul. It led him to a prison in Rome. Prison was not the place Paul wanted to be, but he had confidence that God could use even this situation to accomplish the mission to which he had been called. It’s because of his trust and belief in God that he could communicate to the church at Philippi how he could be filled with joy despite his imprisonment and upcoming trial. Sometimes, like Paul, we find ourselves in situations where our initial response is “I don’t want to be here.” But God can use even our hardships for his glory and give us overwhelming joy as we live out God’s mission for our life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568778159-OJ49CM6INRWKB5FGO2EH/Dead-Man-Walking_i2_Main.jpg Hope - Dead Man Walking (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Dead Man Walking “Dead man walking” is a poignant way to describe the incarnate life and ministry of Jesus. His death was so imminent, so certain, so real that it loomed over every step he took toward Jerusalem and the cross. As the time drew closer, Jesus spoke about it with his disciples. Several instances are recorded by Matthew in his gospel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568792899-ZBCWE7NOJ39EV7BNSV6O/InGodWeTrust.jpg Hope - In God We Trust (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) In God We Trust "In God We Trust." It is printed on every piece of money. But does the way that we use money actually reflect the slogan that is printed on it? We seek to spend more and to buy more without contentment or limit, we fail to save, we go into debt, and rarely find enough to share. If we started with the idea of Trusting God, is this how we would use our money? When we began with the foundational principle of trusting God, it would radically change the way that we used our money. We would give God our firsts, spend less to buy less, save more, break our debts, and give more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568808812-U1K6RKO10IZ3L8B32HR4/Resolve_January+Sermon+Series+Brand.jpg Hope - Resolve (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Resolve did you know that only 6% of resolutions are kept? That doesn’t mean that making them is futile. Setting goals is really important. But what we sometimes overlook is all the broken patterns and obstacles and old habits and pull of the enemy that are working against us in succeeding in those goals. These things act like forces slowly eroding our resolve to go after the things that we deeply desire and long for. Re-enforce resolve=habits. RESOLVE. We have to find ways to re-enforce our resolve to keep pressing in and pursuing. The biggest way to keep going is by creating new habits and systems that are embedded into our every day lives that continuously renew our resolve, speak truth to lies, and encourage us to continue towards the life that God is calling us towards. So in this new series call Resolve, we are looking at three underlying habits and systems that if put into practice, will help us keep going so that we might experience a year that is filled with all that God desires for us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/2a156b3d-c468-4d57-8b01-21b03f7bd36a/GIVING+slide+%2836%29.png https://www.clarksburgchurch.com/heartofworship daily 0.75 2026-02-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/2a156b3d-c468-4d57-8b01-21b03f7bd36a/GIVING+slide+%2836%29.png The Heart of Worship https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/4f24bbad-8b8a-423a-9df2-4e489eb999d9/The+Royal+Priesthood+%284%29.png The Heart of Worship https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/68c68fcf-1ca9-45f7-98e9-8f49835d5a0a/Not+Me+Lord+Title+Slide.png The Heart of Worship https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/8262a15e-d2fd-4cd7-a142-6538e97e4ee3/Good+Fruit+Title+Slide.png The Heart of Worship Good Fruit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/a6e9ada2-d058-4506-a721-224c679a2f22/1.jpg The Heart of Worship https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/d57d2095-7e61-4336-a6c3-e803d5a5f034/1.png The Heart of Worship https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/cc086d00-c00a-4fdd-ba57-f11f43e09f5b/1.jpg The Heart of Worship https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/52770b5a-adb0-4a65-b3ab-d3df6e5bdc17/Living+Bells.jpg The Heart of Worship https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/81bc6811-58c2-4921-b662-519b53beb301/The+Gospel+In+Carols.jpg The Heart of Worship https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/c1bd0e2a-17d9-465a-a42a-089458ae7b38/A+Heart+of+Holiness+Graphic.jpg The Heart of Worship https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/cf09d45f-fa58-4fec-9447-b7410285606f/Kingdom+Economics.jpg The Heart of Worship https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/b5f77bba-49e0-489d-a4ca-11e4dcd18a1c/A+new+lens.jpg The Heart of Worship https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/708ff7fe-f363-4a5d-8a4d-0988be4417d0/1.jpg The Heart of Worship https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/c4971593-aa41-44c8-9c1a-3293bbef7bd5/The+Just+Savior.jpg The Heart of Worship https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/d392292e-d631-4f17-a87d-95d2023cbb06/1.jpg The Heart of Worship https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1704723987505-RXYWURW7J83H8XKY8RBG/2.jpg The Heart of Worship https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/cc2137af-e145-4fb3-a337-6874fa48633e/surprised.jpg The Heart of Worship https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/5559814e-455b-42ff-b4f1-23a41252842d/More+Than+Enough.jpg The Heart of Worship https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/2a000692-d1d4-4f56-88d3-f660ac0f5628/OriginStoriesGraphic.jpg The Heart of Worship https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1694540499522-FD61WPN6B2RTYZO15D3S/narratives-around-fire.jpg The Heart of Worship https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/e264eb3a-2060-43ed-bfbc-4d29efad9c36/Black+Illustrated+Floral+Line+Art+Prayer+Journal+Book+Cover+%28Presentation+%28169%29%29.jpg The Heart of Worship https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/49a13c3f-108c-4b9d-9b58-6926dbdbde6c/Reading+Hebrew+Logo.jpg The Heart of Worship https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/de4e8c77-2e39-4ace-b135-bb65dee59aaa/334612166_160255226857324_2542893905828679988_n.jpg The Heart of Worship https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/5e443b9e-14f2-4fc6-89c7-ef6c4fe6770e/Black+Colorful+Abstract+Be+Creative+Facebook+Cover.png The Heart of Worship https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/0c3bcfe0-6a72-4e09-9017-ef1fde851928/goodnews.jpg The Heart of Worship https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/e1369b3b-aba8-4b97-a513-39799f808767/Need+A.png The Heart of Worship https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/f1df60dc-d9fd-4f86-ae18-df27ee386aaa/The+King+has+Come+%286%29.png The Heart of Worship -

It sounds complicated and often leaves us feeling like we don’t know where to start, we aren’t enough to make it happen, or we are being inauthentic to who we actually are. But at Clarksburg, we believe that there is a way we can see the church as a group of ordinary people who are all sent to announce and demonstrate the reign of God through Christ in the places that we live, work, and play, without expecting ourselves to be something that we are not or something less than we should be. We have identified some rhythms and habits, a Rule of Life, that Clarksburg can incorporate into their everyday life to live out this mission: Bless, Eat, Listen, Learn, Sent. While the words have changed to be more clear and simple from the former Rule of Life, the values and implementation are the same. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1580329313613-7T389N0Z2Z7W4U8L5P3E/image-asset.jpeg The Heart of Worship - The Extravagance: December 2019 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) The Extravagance: December 2019 Scripture is clear. Jesus came to earth not to take but to give. His incarnation, his ministry, and ultimately, his death on a cross were all acts of extravagant generosity. God gave his one and only Son for you and me. It was the supreme act of generosity. In Jesus, we see the perfect reflection of The Extravagance of God. Those who follow Jesus are called to exhibit the same kind of extravagant generosity in their own lives. Extravagant generosity is not a momentary act. It is a way of living. It is a way of seeing the world and seeing others. Extravagant generosity gives oxygen to God’s mission to redeem and restore. It’s generous people that God uses to change the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575567956302-QF4OSE4KQ91YMAV859RF/Undone02%28SeriesTitle%29+%282%29.png The Heart of Worship - Undone: November-December 2019 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Undone: November-December 2019 Why did Jesus come to earth? What was his ministry all about? It’s easy to miss the real purpose of Jesus’ ministry if we fail to see it within the context of the Old Testament. The entire Old Testament narrative from Genesis to Malachi is a stark reminder of the damaging impact of sin. Relationships are severed. The vulnerable are ignored. Self is deified. Power is king. The cycle of disobedience, repentance, empty promises that then lead to even greater disobedience is repeated over and over again. Luke reminds us that it is into this world of brokenness that Jesus arrives. From the very beginning of his ministry, Jesus clearly proclaims that he is the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies. He has come to heal the sick, binds up the broken, frees the enslaved and proclaims God’s saving grace. He has come to undo the ravaging effect of sin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568075835-AUXMNV6IB6I4ABPDGFLV/Full+BG+WagingWar05%28Layered%29+%281%29.png The Heart of Worship - Waging War: The Book of Judges (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Waging War: The Book of Judges Don't lose sight of how Judges fits into the overarching story of Scripture. Creation=perfect. Sin=everything is messed up, but God wants to restore and redeem the whole world so it is set right again. Makes a promise with Abraham and family to use them to be family through which he redeems and restores the whole world, and they are promised blessing, a name, and land. And in return, they will live in a way that will represent who God is to the rest of the world... to all the people and nations around them. He is calling to live this counter-cultural life that reflects God's image and character instead of their own. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568078938-EYIFOYNMDTNMEG4H3C1A/promised_OG.jpg The Heart of Worship - Promised (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Promised This four-week study in the book of Genesis that focuses on Abraham and his descendants (Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph). These four characters in the biblical narrative are a reflection of all of us. They are a complex mixture of faithfulness and faithlessness. They want to trust God, but often they do just the opposite. Their stories are fascinating, compelling and messy. As we study them, we are reminded that God will accomplish what he has promised – no matter what. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568115791-L7YWLAXOBKHUG8XB3K6P/RFM_OG.jpg The Heart of Worship - Seven: A Study of Revelation (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Seven: A Study of Revelation The book of Revelation is a vision given by God to John while he was exiled on the Island of Patmos because of his outspoken witness to Jesus Christ. We’ve entitled the series Seven because the number seven is a symbol of completeness and is woven into every single part of the book. Revelation relies on visions, symbols and Old Testament references to reveal the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promises that were given to Abraham in Genesis. However, the book of Revelation is not a secret code that allows believers to decipher the timeline of Jesus’ return. It’s a letter written by a man under persecution to seven churches located in Asia (an area that is now a part of modern-day Turkey) who are also under persecution. It’s written as both an encouragement and a challenge. As the concluding book of the Bible, Revelation is a powerful reminder that Jesus has overcome evil by his death and resurrection and will return one day as the true King of the world to remove evil permanently and make all things new. And it is this promise that has motivated every generation of God’s people to remain faithful in the midst of the inevitable challenges of life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568654713-MPV2G8AH37FSRPDMWCMY/RFM+Main.png The Heart of Worship https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568731532-05S8UTVRW0HQVQF08388/ATM+Title+Slide.png The Heart of Worship https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568763830-23AYXR3MHKOKWYCHAGWV/Letters%28Layered%29+%281%29.jpg The Heart of Worship - Letters (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Letters Philippians, Philemon Colossians and Ephesians are collectively referred to as the "Prison Letters." The Apostle Paul wrote them while he was imprisoned in Rome. The prison was probably a house where Paul was kept under close guard at all times (probably chained to a soldier). But he was given a number of freedoms not offered to most prisoners. Among them was the freedom to write letters and receive visitors. Living out God’s calling on our lives doesn’t always lead us to the places or the situations we had envisioned. It certainly didn’t for Paul. It led him to a prison in Rome. Prison was not the place Paul wanted to be, but he had confidence that God could use even this situation to accomplish the mission to which he had been called. It’s because of his trust and belief in God that he could communicate to the church at Philippi how he could be filled with joy despite his imprisonment and upcoming trial. Sometimes, like Paul, we find ourselves in situations where our initial response is “I don’t want to be here.” But God can use even our hardships for his glory and give us overwhelming joy as we live out God’s mission for our life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568778159-OJ49CM6INRWKB5FGO2EH/Dead-Man-Walking_i2_Main.jpg The Heart of Worship - Dead Man Walking (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Dead Man Walking “Dead man walking” is a poignant way to describe the incarnate life and ministry of Jesus. His death was so imminent, so certain, so real that it loomed over every step he took toward Jerusalem and the cross. As the time drew closer, Jesus spoke about it with his disciples. Several instances are recorded by Matthew in his gospel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568792899-ZBCWE7NOJ39EV7BNSV6O/InGodWeTrust.jpg The Heart of Worship - In God We Trust (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) In God We Trust "In God We Trust." It is printed on every piece of money. But does the way that we use money actually reflect the slogan that is printed on it? We seek to spend more and to buy more without contentment or limit, we fail to save, we go into debt, and rarely find enough to share. If we started with the idea of Trusting God, is this how we would use our money? When we began with the foundational principle of trusting God, it would radically change the way that we used our money. We would give God our firsts, spend less to buy less, save more, break our debts, and give more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568808812-U1K6RKO10IZ3L8B32HR4/Resolve_January+Sermon+Series+Brand.jpg The Heart of Worship - Resolve (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Resolve did you know that only 6% of resolutions are kept? That doesn’t mean that making them is futile. Setting goals is really important. But what we sometimes overlook is all the broken patterns and obstacles and old habits and pull of the enemy that are working against us in succeeding in those goals. These things act like forces slowly eroding our resolve to go after the things that we deeply desire and long for. Re-enforce resolve=habits. RESOLVE. We have to find ways to re-enforce our resolve to keep pressing in and pursuing. The biggest way to keep going is by creating new habits and systems that are embedded into our every day lives that continuously renew our resolve, speak truth to lies, and encourage us to continue towards the life that God is calling us towards. So in this new series call Resolve, we are looking at three underlying habits and systems that if put into practice, will help us keep going so that we might experience a year that is filled with all that God desires for us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/05db05e6-6f6e-4b67-b3ff-7657cb760387/1.jpg https://www.clarksburgchurch.com/no-mere-man daily 0.75 2026-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/e2c21b73-3dc7-49fa-9ac8-b79efdf07f27/HeartofWorship.webp No Mere Man https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/2a156b3d-c468-4d57-8b01-21b03f7bd36a/GIVING+slide+%2836%29.png No Mere Man https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/4f24bbad-8b8a-423a-9df2-4e489eb999d9/The+Royal+Priesthood+%284%29.png No Mere Man https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/68c68fcf-1ca9-45f7-98e9-8f49835d5a0a/Not+Me+Lord+Title+Slide.png No Mere Man https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/8262a15e-d2fd-4cd7-a142-6538e97e4ee3/Good+Fruit+Title+Slide.png No Mere Man Good Fruit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/a6e9ada2-d058-4506-a721-224c679a2f22/1.jpg No Mere Man https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/d57d2095-7e61-4336-a6c3-e803d5a5f034/1.png No Mere Man https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/cc086d00-c00a-4fdd-ba57-f11f43e09f5b/1.jpg No Mere Man https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/52770b5a-adb0-4a65-b3ab-d3df6e5bdc17/Living+Bells.jpg No Mere Man https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/81bc6811-58c2-4921-b662-519b53beb301/The+Gospel+In+Carols.jpg No Mere Man https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/c1bd0e2a-17d9-465a-a42a-089458ae7b38/A+Heart+of+Holiness+Graphic.jpg No Mere Man https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/cf09d45f-fa58-4fec-9447-b7410285606f/Kingdom+Economics.jpg No Mere Man https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/b5f77bba-49e0-489d-a4ca-11e4dcd18a1c/A+new+lens.jpg No Mere Man https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/708ff7fe-f363-4a5d-8a4d-0988be4417d0/1.jpg No Mere Man https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/c4971593-aa41-44c8-9c1a-3293bbef7bd5/The+Just+Savior.jpg No Mere Man https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/d392292e-d631-4f17-a87d-95d2023cbb06/1.jpg No Mere Man https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1704723987505-RXYWURW7J83H8XKY8RBG/2.jpg No Mere Man https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/cc2137af-e145-4fb3-a337-6874fa48633e/surprised.jpg No Mere Man https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/5559814e-455b-42ff-b4f1-23a41252842d/More+Than+Enough.jpg No Mere Man https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/2a000692-d1d4-4f56-88d3-f660ac0f5628/OriginStoriesGraphic.jpg No Mere Man https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1694540499522-FD61WPN6B2RTYZO15D3S/narratives-around-fire.jpg No Mere Man https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/e264eb3a-2060-43ed-bfbc-4d29efad9c36/Black+Illustrated+Floral+Line+Art+Prayer+Journal+Book+Cover+%28Presentation+%28169%29%29.jpg No Mere Man https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/49a13c3f-108c-4b9d-9b58-6926dbdbde6c/Reading+Hebrew+Logo.jpg No Mere Man https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/de4e8c77-2e39-4ace-b135-bb65dee59aaa/334612166_160255226857324_2542893905828679988_n.jpg No Mere Man https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/5e443b9e-14f2-4fc6-89c7-ef6c4fe6770e/Black+Colorful+Abstract+Be+Creative+Facebook+Cover.png No Mere Man https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/0c3bcfe0-6a72-4e09-9017-ef1fde851928/goodnews.jpg No Mere Man https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/e1369b3b-aba8-4b97-a513-39799f808767/Need+A.png No Mere Man https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/f1df60dc-d9fd-4f86-ae18-df27ee386aaa/The+King+has+Come+%286%29.png No Mere Man - The King Has Come (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) The King Has Come https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1670356312244-URNTO7KLVHXD5OMO4FWO/Kings-and-Prophets-Artwork-1920x1080%2B%25281%2529.jpg No Mere Man - Kings and Prophets (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Kings and Prophets What we love about scripture is that it is not just some historical documents that are supposed to tell us what we are and are not supposed to believe.

But at Clarksburg, we believe that there is a way we can see the church as a group of ordinary people who are all sent to announce and demonstrate the reign of God through Christ in the places that we live, work, and play, without expecting ourselves to be something that we are not or something less than we should be. We have identified some rhythms and habits, a Rule of Life, that Clarksburg can incorporate into their everyday life to live out this mission: Bless, Eat, Listen, Learn, Sent. While the words have changed to be more clear and simple from the former Rule of Life, the values and implementation are the same. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1580329313613-7T389N0Z2Z7W4U8L5P3E/image-asset.jpeg No Mere Man - The Extravagance: December 2019 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) The Extravagance: December 2019 Scripture is clear. Jesus came to earth not to take but to give. His incarnation, his ministry, and ultimately, his death on a cross were all acts of extravagant generosity. God gave his one and only Son for you and me. It was the supreme act of generosity. In Jesus, we see the perfect reflection of The Extravagance of God. Those who follow Jesus are called to exhibit the same kind of extravagant generosity in their own lives. Extravagant generosity is not a momentary act. It is a way of living. It is a way of seeing the world and seeing others. Extravagant generosity gives oxygen to God’s mission to redeem and restore. It’s generous people that God uses to change the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575567956302-QF4OSE4KQ91YMAV859RF/Undone02%28SeriesTitle%29+%282%29.png No Mere Man - Undone: November-December 2019 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Undone: November-December 2019 Why did Jesus come to earth? What was his ministry all about? It’s easy to miss the real purpose of Jesus’ ministry if we fail to see it within the context of the Old Testament. The entire Old Testament narrative from Genesis to Malachi is a stark reminder of the damaging impact of sin. Relationships are severed. The vulnerable are ignored. Self is deified. Power is king. The cycle of disobedience, repentance, empty promises that then lead to even greater disobedience is repeated over and over again. Luke reminds us that it is into this world of brokenness that Jesus arrives. From the very beginning of his ministry, Jesus clearly proclaims that he is the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies. He has come to heal the sick, binds up the broken, frees the enslaved and proclaims God’s saving grace. He has come to undo the ravaging effect of sin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568075835-AUXMNV6IB6I4ABPDGFLV/Full+BG+WagingWar05%28Layered%29+%281%29.png No Mere Man - Waging War: The Book of Judges (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Waging War: The Book of Judges Don't lose sight of how Judges fits into the overarching story of Scripture. Creation=perfect. Sin=everything is messed up, but God wants to restore and redeem the whole world so it is set right again. Makes a promise with Abraham and family to use them to be family through which he redeems and restores the whole world, and they are promised blessing, a name, and land. And in return, they will live in a way that will represent who God is to the rest of the world... to all the people and nations around them. He is calling to live this counter-cultural life that reflects God's image and character instead of their own. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568078938-EYIFOYNMDTNMEG4H3C1A/promised_OG.jpg No Mere Man - Promised (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Promised This four-week study in the book of Genesis that focuses on Abraham and his descendants (Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph). These four characters in the biblical narrative are a reflection of all of us. They are a complex mixture of faithfulness and faithlessness. They want to trust God, but often they do just the opposite. Their stories are fascinating, compelling and messy. As we study them, we are reminded that God will accomplish what he has promised – no matter what. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568115791-L7YWLAXOBKHUG8XB3K6P/RFM_OG.jpg No Mere Man - Seven: A Study of Revelation (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Seven: A Study of Revelation The book of Revelation is a vision given by God to John while he was exiled on the Island of Patmos because of his outspoken witness to Jesus Christ. We’ve entitled the series Seven because the number seven is a symbol of completeness and is woven into every single part of the book. Revelation relies on visions, symbols and Old Testament references to reveal the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promises that were given to Abraham in Genesis. However, the book of Revelation is not a secret code that allows believers to decipher the timeline of Jesus’ return. It’s a letter written by a man under persecution to seven churches located in Asia (an area that is now a part of modern-day Turkey) who are also under persecution. It’s written as both an encouragement and a challenge. As the concluding book of the Bible, Revelation is a powerful reminder that Jesus has overcome evil by his death and resurrection and will return one day as the true King of the world to remove evil permanently and make all things new. And it is this promise that has motivated every generation of God’s people to remain faithful in the midst of the inevitable challenges of life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568654713-MPV2G8AH37FSRPDMWCMY/RFM+Main.png No Mere Man https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568731532-05S8UTVRW0HQVQF08388/ATM+Title+Slide.png No Mere Man https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568763830-23AYXR3MHKOKWYCHAGWV/Letters%28Layered%29+%281%29.jpg No Mere Man - Letters (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Letters Philippians, Philemon Colossians and Ephesians are collectively referred to as the "Prison Letters." The Apostle Paul wrote them while he was imprisoned in Rome. The prison was probably a house where Paul was kept under close guard at all times (probably chained to a soldier). But he was given a number of freedoms not offered to most prisoners. Among them was the freedom to write letters and receive visitors. Living out God’s calling on our lives doesn’t always lead us to the places or the situations we had envisioned. It certainly didn’t for Paul. It led him to a prison in Rome. Prison was not the place Paul wanted to be, but he had confidence that God could use even this situation to accomplish the mission to which he had been called. It’s because of his trust and belief in God that he could communicate to the church at Philippi how he could be filled with joy despite his imprisonment and upcoming trial. Sometimes, like Paul, we find ourselves in situations where our initial response is “I don’t want to be here.” But God can use even our hardships for his glory and give us overwhelming joy as we live out God’s mission for our life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568778159-OJ49CM6INRWKB5FGO2EH/Dead-Man-Walking_i2_Main.jpg No Mere Man - Dead Man Walking (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Dead Man Walking “Dead man walking” is a poignant way to describe the incarnate life and ministry of Jesus. His death was so imminent, so certain, so real that it loomed over every step he took toward Jerusalem and the cross. As the time drew closer, Jesus spoke about it with his disciples. Several instances are recorded by Matthew in his gospel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568792899-ZBCWE7NOJ39EV7BNSV6O/InGodWeTrust.jpg No Mere Man - In God We Trust (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) In God We Trust "In God We Trust." It is printed on every piece of money. But does the way that we use money actually reflect the slogan that is printed on it? We seek to spend more and to buy more without contentment or limit, we fail to save, we go into debt, and rarely find enough to share. If we started with the idea of Trusting God, is this how we would use our money? When we began with the foundational principle of trusting God, it would radically change the way that we used our money. We would give God our firsts, spend less to buy less, save more, break our debts, and give more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/1575568808812-U1K6RKO10IZ3L8B32HR4/Resolve_January+Sermon+Series+Brand.jpg No Mere Man - Resolve (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) Resolve did you know that only 6% of resolutions are kept? That doesn’t mean that making them is futile. Setting goals is really important. But what we sometimes overlook is all the broken patterns and obstacles and old habits and pull of the enemy that are working against us in succeeding in those goals. These things act like forces slowly eroding our resolve to go after the things that we deeply desire and long for. Re-enforce resolve=habits. RESOLVE. We have to find ways to re-enforce our resolve to keep pressing in and pursuing. The biggest way to keep going is by creating new habits and systems that are embedded into our every day lives that continuously renew our resolve, speak truth to lies, and encourage us to continue towards the life that God is calling us towards. So in this new series call Resolve, we are looking at three underlying habits and systems that if put into practice, will help us keep going so that we might experience a year that is filled with all that God desires for us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7285e4a32b4400018a9225/f3103363-d8d1-492e-89d2-de9af4037d72/No+Mere+Man+Sermon.png
