Christ Church Evangelical Covenant

Living Resurrection Lives Now

As people who believe in the resurretion of Jesus, what are we to do when the hope of what is to come meets the reality of life today? Today, we're invited to look deeper than easy "do" and "don't" lists that shape our lives, and instead consider the transforming power of God's grace. Through Colossians 3:1-11, we consider how resurrection reshapes our character, relationships, and daily choices — especially when life gets challenging.

The People of Hope [Fam Sunday]

Today, we are invited to explore grief, hope, and the coming King through 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 as we wrestle with how the resurrection reframes our losses—big and small—and how honest longing meets the promise ahead. How do we grieve with honesty while staying grounded in what’s ahead? How does our community carry us forward as we await the King? Let's find out.

Living Between the Times

Turning to Romans 8, we are invited into the “in-between”—the space between what is and what is coming. From the groanings of creation and our own ache toward a hopeful sound, we – along with every good thing around us – find ourselves anticipating all that God has promised. When God's promises feel distant, we are reminded that our God has invited us to press into faithfulness and live with courage.

Life after Life after Death

Today, we take a fresh look at 1 Corinthians 15. What does it mean that the dead will be raised, and that our bodies will be transformed? Paul invites us to unpack familiar images—seeds, earthly versus heavenly, and life after life after death—as we imagine the bodies we will inhabit in a renewed creation. As we consider this passage, we are invited to rethink what physical and spiritual mean together. How does Jesus’ resurrected body model what is to come, and how should that shape our living today?

Matters of Life and Death

Today, we begin a new series with a sobering, yet hopeful conversation about life, death, and what lies beyond. As we explore 1 Corinthians 15 together, we get a glimpse of how exactly our faith can meet our fear, grief, and longing with care, truth, and a future hope.

The Family on Mission

When it comes to church, it's not really about showing up for a worship service. The church is a family - a holy nation, a royal priesthood! As we wrap up our Siblingship series, Pastor Cheryl invites a few leaders to share about how Christ Church is trying to live this out as a community where discipleship, compassion, and hospitality intersect in real spaces, here in East Greenwich and beyond.

Every Family Member Matters

In the third week of our Siblingship series, we look closer at the ways that God builds a united body from diverse generations. The church is a Spirit-formed body in which every part is placed by God and every member matters. How, then, do we move from spectatorship to participation to reorient our church to be the kind of family God calls us to be?

Practicing Family Life

Pentecost invites us into a living, renovating family. This week, as we continue our Siblingship series, we are exploring Romans 12:9-18 as a blueprint for practicing family life across generations—loving without masks, honoring one another, sharing with those in need, practicing hospitality, and grieving and celebrating together. In a moment when church culture can feel pulled between old rhythms and new, how does the church community become a home that fits everyone? What does it mean to bridge differences when style, tradition, and tempo pull us in different directions?

A New Kind of Family

Join us as we start a new sermon series focusing on what it really means to be the family of God! As God's people, the idea of kinship extends across all sorts of divisions, allowing the church to embody reconciliation - inside and out. The question for us, then, is: how do we organize our lives around being part of this new family?

Fan the Flame: Living a Spirit-Empowered Life

As we wrap up our series, Pastor Cheryl invites us to the explore what things could look like when the Spirit awakens us and leads us into bold, outward living. (Hint: a Spirit-filled community responds with courage!) How can our own wells of faith be tended this week?
