New to CWC?  The next step is taking the Discovering CWC Church Life.  This is where you find out who and what CWC is all about.  This is when you discover your fit in our family.  When you stop attending and start belonging. SATURDAY, JAN 31ST 3:00-5:00 It was promised. You've been asking.  The Book of Revelation Sermon Series begins Sunday, February 1st.  For a couple of months now, Pastor Matt has been teaching verse-by-verse through Revelation on Wednesday evenings.  He will continue to do that. The Revelation Sunday sermon series will follow a more chapter-by-chapter approach and hit the high points-the overaching themes.  There's no better time for you to start adding the Wednesday evening Bible teaching to your schedule.  Wednesday, February 4th @ 7:00PM The first Wednesday of each month, we pause the Bible study and spend the evening in worship, prayer, and communion.  This is YOUR opportunity to soak in God's presence, have you...

Wear that festive Christmas sweater, bring the whole family, and join us for our Christmas holiday party this Saturday, December 13th, @ 5:30 pm.   Bring a holiday appetizer, snack, or sweet to share.  We will sing Christmas carols, play Christmas games, and wrap it up with a White Elephant gift exchange (under $20).     Would you like to help with the Christmas party planning committee?  We are looking for people to help plan and coordinate the party.  If you are interested, please email pastor@cwcaustin.org.  Thanks! Looking Ahead: Sunday, Dec 21st:   For the Sunday service before Christmas, we will worship with Christmas-focused songs and hear a message on  the birth of Christ.  At the end, we will dim the lights and sing O Holy Night by candlelight and reflect on the miracle of Emmanuel, God with us.   Wednesday, Dec 24th and 31st:  No Bible study service.  The regular schedule will resume in January....

The Allegiance Test: The Enemies We Must Face (James 4:1–12; with James 1:2–4 as our lens) We’ve journeyed through James and arrived at chapter 4. If last week was  the wisdom test , this week is  the allegiance test —the loyalty test. James asks a blunt question:  Where does your loyalty lie? Before he addresses conflict, he reminds us of our context: “Consider it all joy… when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking in nothing.”  (James 1:2–4) God doesn’t waste pain. Trials train endurance, and endurance grows us up. Chapter 4 shows  how —by revealing the battlegrounds that pull at our loyalty. Three Wars That Test Our Loyalty (James 4:1–12) 1) The Flesh: Desires at War Within (vv. 1–3) “What is the source of quarrels and conflicts among you? Is it not your pleasures that wage war in your members? You lust… you envy… you a...

MIDWEEK TEACHING The ministry and focus of CWC is captured by our mission statement: We exist to grow people, UP in Christ, DOWN in the Word, IN to one another, and  OUT to the world. The goal of our Wednesday midweek service is to grow people down in the Word through Bible teaching and discipleship. The midweek teaching allows us to go deeper in the Bible than what can happen at Sunday services. On Wednesdays, the sanctuary is turned into a classroom with tables. Pastor Matt teaches using multimedia and regular handouts. There are opportunities for you to ask questions and engage in interactive group discussions.  Now is a great time to begin.  We are beginning a teaching series through the prophetic Book of Revelation.   Come study with us and learn about the future God has planned for His Church and the end of the age.  MONTHLY WORSHIP  On the first Wednesday of every month, we pause our Bible study and have a worship, prayer, and communion service....

One of King Solomon's greatest achievements was building the Temple.  On the inauguration day, they brought in the Ark of the Covenant to the Holy of Holies in the Temple.  The Ark of the Covenant was the place where the presence of God would rest between the Cherubim on the top of the Ark.  Notice how much singing, worship, and praise were included in this momentous moment recorded in 2 Chronicles 5:12-14! And the Levites who were musicians—Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and all their sons and brothers—were dressed in fine linen robes and stood at the east side of the altar playing cymbals, lyres, and harps. They were joined by 120 priests who were playing trumpets.  (13)  The trumpeters and singers performed together in unison to praise and give thanks to the LORD. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals, and other instruments, they raised their voices and praised the LORD with these words: “He is good! His faithful love endures forever!” At that moment a thick cloud filled...
