1. The Divine Declaration Begins

2. A Declaration of Freedom

3. A Declaration of Restoration

4. A Declaration of Clarity

1. The response seemed to be going well.

2. The words that started the shift in mood.

3. The comparison that led to attempted murder.

4. The response of a Spirit-led Christ.

1. The Three False Anchors

a. The crowd (Cultural Conformity)

b. The Devil (Self-Exaltation and Division)

c. The Inner Monologue (Self-Deception)

2. The Three Anchors

a. The Scriptures (The Guide)

b. The Community (The Accountability)

c. The Fruit (Evidence)

To be led by the Spirit in 2025 is to be radically counter-cultural—anchored to the truth, accountable to the church community, and dedicated to producing the meek, unmistakable fruit of Christ-like character in a loud, demanding world.

Bottom Line:
Spirit-led means choosing Christ over the crowd.

Looking for your next step at CWC?

Welcome Party – 1st Sunday of Every Month
· If you are new or if you’ve been around a bit and are looking to build friendships with others, our Welcome Party is for you! Get to know others who are newer at CWC as well as our
welcome team and our pastors in a relational environment. There will be light refreshments and the opportunity to hear about our small groups, baptism, and your next step of Growth Track. If you’re asking the question, “How can I make friends here,” then this is for you! No registration is required, you can just show up. Look for the signs on the first Sunday of the month.

Growth Track – 3-week class on Sunday Mornings or Wednesday Nights

· Growth Track exists to help you learn about the vision of CWC, the gifts God has given you, and how you can use them in specific opportunities to serve at CWC. You’ll learn amongst others of how to become a vital part of the ministries of the church so that we can share the light of Christ with our communities. If you miss a class, don’t worry! Growth Track runs every month and we even have an online option you can participate in (though we recommend in-person if you can). You can see what classes are available by going to bit.ly/cwcgrowthtrack.

Membership Class – Once a quarter on Sundays after 2nd service

· Membership class is the last step of fully assimilating at CWC. Learn about our denomination, The Wesleyan Church and the bigger movement we are a part of across the world. This 3-hour class with the lead pastor provides you a place to ask important questions about our beliefs as a church and allows you to become eligible for our local board of administration. You also become eligible for denominational events like our district and general conferences. To sign up for our next class, let us know at the Hub or email: loretta.paulhamus@cwc.life
