We’re continuing to look at the pattern and the content of the first church’s prayers in Acts. In our first look (a few weeks ago) we noticed that they prayed as they waited for God to fulfill his promise of “power” to be His witnesses. This week we notice that in times of persecution (this… Read More »Praying for Boldness (July 19, 2026)
In recent years, Romans 13:1–7 is cited by governments and public figures as proof that Christians must obey whatever their governing authorities command. At first glance, Paul’s words may seem to support that conclusion. But is God calling His people to blind obedience, or is He calling us to consider a different posture that honours… Read More »Blind Obedience or Faithful Honour? (July 12, 2026)
On June 18, Ella Schloo went home to be with the Lord. Ella was a beloved friend of our church family and had a meaningful impact on many within our congregation.

The Day… Read More »Faint Outlines, Perfect Saviour (July 5, 2026)
I (David) am still reflecting and processing on what I heard at CBOQ’s Assembly. One of the seminar leaders spoke about understanding a churches operating culture and systems as a means for planning and growth. I was really interested in this; I totally missed the point. The leader spent 2/3 of her time reminding us… Read More »How Do We Go From Here? (June 14, 2026)
CBOQ Sunday reminds us that the Good News has always moved forward through shared faith and shared mission. From the first day until now, God has been at work through a people joined together—one gospel, many partners—carrying his grace into the world. We celebrate the joy of belonging to something bigger than ourselves: a church… Read More »One Gospel, Many Partners: A Family on Mission (June 7, 2026)
We continue to take time to pause and pray together. Today, we lift up the churches within our CBOQ family. As the annual Assembly (i.e. the “family reunion” of CBOQ churches) approaches this week, we come alongside these congregations, asking God to guide and sustain them in the direction He is leading. We also pray… Read More »Pausing to P.R.A.Y. … for CBOQ Churches (May 31, 2026)
