How to Hear From God | Pastor Curt Taylor

info@chcc.org (Pastor Curt Taylor) — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 18:45:55 +0000

In this week of the Asking for a Friend series, Pastor Curt Taylor tackles one of the most requested questions: How to Hear God’s Voice, after nearly 40% of 1,500+ responses pointed to it. In a world marked by stress, loneliness, and uncertainty, he acknowledges there’s no simple “divine GPS,” but reminds us of the good news: God is a speaking God who has revealed Himself most clearly through His Word. From Genesis to the teachings of Jesus, Scripture shows that God speaks, and today, His voice is most reliably heard through the Bible, guided by His Spirit, prayer, wisdom, and godly counsel. Pastor Curt also offers a needed warning against confusing our own desires or emotions with God’s voice, encouraging believers to test everything and stay rooted in truth. Ultimately, the message invites us into a steady, faithful process: immerse yourself in Scripture, seek God in prayer, repent and surrender your will, pursue wise counsel, and walk forward in trust as God leads.

info@chcc.org (Pastor Curt Taylor) — Sun, 5 Apr 2026 11:30:00 +0000

This Easter message invites us to move beyond simply knowing about Jesus and encounter Him in a deeply personal way. Drawing from the resurrection account in John 20, Pastor Curt highlights how even those closest to Jesus missed Him because familiarity had replaced true recognition. He challenges us to examine the ways we may have reduced Jesus to something comfortable or convenient, rather than embracing Him as the risen Son of God. Through the story of Mary and the promise of “beauty from ashes,” we see that Jesus meets us in our brokenness and calls us by name into new life. Ultimately, this message reminds us that Easter is not just a story to remember, it’s an invitation to experience the living Jesus personally and allow Him to transform our lives.

Using a thoughtful and investigative approach, he points to compelling evidence that challenges doubt and invites deeper consideration. He explains why the resurrection is central to the Christian faith and what it means for understanding who Jesus truly is. Rather than presenting blind belief, the message encourages a faith that is rooted in both reason and experience. Ultimately, it invites each person to wrestle with the evidence and consider what it means for their own life.

Unashamed of the Gospel | Pastor Gary Thomas

info@chcc.org (Pastor Gary Thomas) — Sun, 22 Mar 2026 10:30:00 +0000

In Week 4 of the Red Chair series, Pastor Gary Thomas explores what it means to follow Jesus when facing persecution. This message reminds us that challenges and pushback are not unexpected, but part of a faith that is real and lived out. We’re invited to shift our perspective, seeing hardship not as something to avoid, but as an opportunity to grow deeper in trust and purpose. It also calls us to stand with courage, live with conviction, and respond with grace no matter the cost. Ultimately, it challenges each of us to consider what it looks like to remain faithful in every season.

Overcoming Fear in Evangelism | Pastor Curt Taylor

info@chcc.org (Pastor Curt Taylor) — Sun, 15 Mar 2026 10:30:00 +0000

In week three of the Red Chair series, Pastor Curt Taylor challenges us to rethink how we share our faith and the fears that often hold us back. Looking at 1 Peter 3:13–16, he reminds us that evangelism doesn’t begin with having all the right answers, but with a heart that truly honors Jesus as Lord. Instead of arguing people into belief, we are called to simply share the hope Jesus has brought into our own lives, doing so with gentleness and respect. Pastor Curt encourages everyone to be ready to tell their personal “hope story” in a simple and authentic way. When we live with prayer, hospitality, and courage, God can use even small moments to make an eternal difference in someone’s life.

How to Live as a Christian Witness | Pastor Curt Taylor

info@chcc.org (Pastor Curt Taylor) — Sun, 8 Mar 2026 10:30:00 +0000

In week two of the Red Chair series, Pastor Curt Taylor challenges us to consider whether our lives actually make people curious about Jesus. Drawing from 1 Peter, he explains that evangelism doesn’t begin with the right words but with a life anchored to the right reference point, Jesus. When believers resist the passions that pull them off course and instead live with honor, humility, and blessing toward others, their lives naturally point people to God. Pastor Curt invites us to ask an honest question: if someone watched our life for a week, would they see something different? As we focus on the “red chair”, the person in our life who needs Jesus, we’re reminded that a life fully oriented toward Christ can be the most powerful invitation of all.

Sharing Your Faith Naturally | Pastor Curt Taylor

info@chcc.org (Pastor Curt Taylor) — Sun, 1 Mar 2026 10:30:00 +0000

In week one of the Red Chair series, Pastor Curt Taylor reframed evangelism by addressing the discomfort and anxiety many people feel when talking about sharing their faith. Walking through 1 Peter, he reminded us that evangelism isn’t a program or sales pitch, but the natural overflow of a life transformed by Jesus and rooted in a living hope. Because believers are chosen, loved, and sent into the world as God’s representatives, sharing faith begins with identity before action. Pastor Curt challenged everyone to picture the “red chair” as a real person in their life who needs to experience Jesus and to begin praying intentionally for them. Ultimately, the message invited the church to live with such joy, authenticity, and love that proclaiming the goodness of God becomes a natural extension of everyday life.

What Does it Look Like to Cherish | Pastor Gary Thomas

info@chcc.org (Pastor Gary Thomas) — Sun, 22 Feb 2026 10:30:00 +0000

At Cherry Hills Community Church, Pastor Gary Thomas challenged couples to raise the bar in their marriages from simply loving one another to truly cherishing one another. He cast a vision of what it looks like to treat your spouse as “outstanding among 10,000” — deeply valued, honored, and treasured. Cherishing isn’t based on having a perfect partner, but on living out the gospel through grace, humility, and a commitment to believe the best. Rather than allowing busyness, distraction, or frustration to slowly erode intimacy, couples are invited to cultivate a new climate marked by intentional devotion and respect. When we move from love to love and cherish, marriage becomes not just something we maintain, but something we joyfully strengthen every day.

At Super Sunday at Cherry Hills, Pastor Bronson Stewart sat down with former Broncos tight end Joel Dressen for an honest, interview-style conversation about faith, football, and the ways God meets us in every season. Joel shared how his relationship with Jesus began as a kid, sparked by a simple Sunday school moment that changed everything. As he walked through the highs of the NFL and the humbling lows of injuries, setbacks, and unmet dreams, he pointed again and again to God’s presence with the brokenhearted. Together, they reminded the church that our identity isn’t found in choosing Jesus daily and walking through the narrow gate. The message was a powerful encouragement that God is still working, and even in our hardest moments, He is near, faithful, and shaping us for something greater.

info@chcc.org (Pastor Curt Taylor) — Sun, 1 Feb 2026 10:30:00 +0000

Ultimately, we’re challenged to realign our values and make space for what truly matters in our walk with God.

Caring for Your Body | Pastor Gary Thomas

info@chcc.org (Pastor Gary Thomas) — Sun, 18 Jan 2026 10:30:00 +0000

Pastor Gary Thomas challenges the church to rethink physical health as an act of worship in Week 3 of the Reset series at Cherry Hills Community Church. Rather than focusing on appearance or self-discipline, the message reframes caring for our bodies as offering ourselves to God as instruments for His service. Drawing from Scripture, Gary reminds us that our bodies belong to God and are meant to be used for His purposes, not merely admired or neglected. Through powerful stories and practical insight, he shows how physical habits can either limit or expand our ability to love, serve, and endure in our calling. This sermon invites everyone to embrace a sustainable, grace-filled motivation rooted in honoring God with our whole lives.

What is Shaping Your Life? | Pastor Curt Taylor

info@chcc.org (Pastor Curt Taylor) — Sun, 11 Jan 2026 10:30:00 +0000

Pastor Curt Taylor continues the Reset series with a powerful reminder that what shapes us ultimately determines who we become. In this message, he invites us to pursue a fresh start by making time for God and letting His Word speak into our everyday lives. Rather than approaching the Bible as a task to complete, we’re encouraged to slow down, reflect, and let Scripture sink deep. As we build a consistent rhythm of being with the Lord, our lives become steadier, healthier, and more fruitful. This sermon is a practical and hope-filled invitation to seek God in a way that genuinely changes us from the inside out.

What is Fasting? | Pastor Curt Taylor

info@chcc.org (Pastor Curt Taylor) — Sun, 4 Jan 2026 10:30:00 +0000

In week one of the Reset series at Cherry Hills Community Church, Pastor Curt Taylor invites the church to reconsider the role of fasting as a powerful, often-misunderstood spiritual practice. Pastor Curt walks through Scripture to show that fasting isn’t about guilt, willpower, or public display, but about creating space for God to meet us in our deepest needs. The sermon reframes fasting as a gift that redirects our strongest appetites toward a deeper dependence on God. As the series begins, the church is challenged to start the year not by trying harder, but by pursuing God more fully.

In the final week of the "Perspectives of Christmas" series, Pastor Curt Taylor invites us to revisit the journey of the wise men and consider why it matters what we pour our lives into. Drawing on the ancient story of the magi, he shows that their long, intentional pursuit of Jesus reveals a deeper truth: it’s not enough to simply know about Christ. We are called to invest in Him with our time, treasures, and attention. This message reminds us that worship isn’t just a moment on Sunday, but a daily choice about where our hearts, priorities, and resources flow. Ultimately, Pastor Curt points us to a Christmas shaped not by busyness or distraction but by purposeful devotion to the King who is worth everything.

Pastor Curt encouraged humility, trust, and releasing our burdens as key steps toward experiencing true peace. The sermon concluded with the reminder that Christmas is about God entering our world to bring light, hope, and lasting peace.

Obedience like Joseph | Pastor Curt Taylor

info@chcc.org (Pastor Curt Taylor) — Sun, 14 Dec 2025 10:30:00 +0000

This message reflects on the tension between seeking approval from others and choosing faithful obedience to God. Joseph’s life reminds us that faith is often lived out quietly, without recognition or applause.

In the end, Joseph’s story points us back to Jesus and calls us to place Him at the center of our lives.

When God Interrupts | Pastor Curt Taylor

info@chcc.org (Pastor Curt Taylor) — Sun, 7 Dec 2025 10:30:00 +0000

We learned that faith doesn’t mean having every answer, but choosing trust and surrender when God invites us into His story.

Life is Messy, But God | Pastor Curt Taylor

info@chcc.org (Pastor Curt Taylor) — Sun, 14 Sep 2025 09:00:00 +0000

In Week 1 of the Messy series, Pastor Curt Taylor kicked off with a message of hope centered on the story of Bartimaeus from Mark 10:46-52. Life is undeniably messy because our world is broken, and we are spiritually dead in our sins, completely unable to save ourselves. But God, rich in mercy and overflowing with love, steps into our mess through Jesus Christ to bring life, healing, and transformation.

Overcoming Lies We Believe | Pastor Curt Taylor

info@chcc.org (Pastor Curt Taylor) — Sun, 7 Sep 2025 10:30:00 +0000

In the final week of our Name Your Shark series, Pastor Curt Taylor explores the dangerous lies we often believe in the quiet corners of our hearts—lies about our worth, identity, and control. Looking at Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11), we see how the enemy uses fear to tempt us into shortcuts that pull us away from God’s plan. Like Jesus, we can overcome by naming the lie, replacing it with God’s Word, and believing His truth is real. The cross proves every one of Satan’s lies wrong, reminding us that we are not what we have, what others think, or what we control. We are who God says we are, and His truth sets us free.

info@chcc.org (Pastor Bronson Stewart) — Sun, 31 Aug 2025 10:30:00 +0000

In week four of the Name Your Shark series at Cherry Hills Community Church, Pastor Bronson Stewart tackles the powerful hold of shame. Unlike guilt, which points to what we’ve done, shame clings to who we believe we are—keeping us bound to our past. Looking at the story of Saul’s transformation into Paul, we see how God’s grace redefines our identity, our purpose, and our future. Pastor Bronson reminds us that while shame tells us who we were, grace tells us who we are and who we are becoming. This message invites us to name the shark of shame and walk in the freedom of our God-given identity.

When Fear Becomes Reality | Pastor Curt Taylor

info@chcc.org (Pastor Curt Taylor) — Sun, 24 Aug 2025 10:30:00 +0000

In week 3 of the Name Your Shark series, Pastor Curt Taylor began by acknowledging the reality that sometimes our worst fears actually happen, moving us from asking “what if” to facing “what now.” He explained the tension between what we believe about God—that He is good and in control—and what we often feel when suffering, which can lead to unhealthy paths of redefining, rejecting, or resenting God. Using Isaiah 43 and Matthew 14, he emphasized that God does not always prevent the storms, but He promises His presence in the midst of them, declaring “I Am—do not fear.” Ultimately, he reassured listeners that nothing—no fear, storm, or suffering—can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus.

When will you get up from your sleep?

A little sleep, a little slumber,

a little folding of the hands to rest—

and poverty will come on you like a thief

and scarcity like an armed man. Proverbs 6:9-11

Slide 11

Ant: work leads to good things so let’s get started

info@chcc.org (Pastor Gary Thomas) — Mon, 5 May 2025 16:41:13 +0000

In his message at Cherry Hills Community Church, Pastor Gary Thomas emphasized that parenting is more often caught than taught.

When Things Don't Go As Planned | Pastor Curt Taylor

info@chcc.org (Pastor Curt Taylor) — Mon, 14 Apr 2025 18:18:41 +0000

In his Palm Sunday message at Cherry Hills Community Church, Pastor Curt Taylor explored the deep sense of disappointment the disciples felt as the week unfolded—not the triumphant rise they expected, but a confusing descent into suffering. As Jesus entered Jerusalem to shouts of "Hosanna," the disciples anticipated a conquering king who would overthrow Rome and establish earthly power. Instead, they witnessed their Messiah riding a donkey, speaking of sacrifice, and ultimately heading toward a cross. Pastor Curt reminded us that God’s plans often clash with our expectations, and in the disciples' disillusionment, we see a reflection of our own struggles to trust when the path takes a painful turn. Yet even in the midst of their disappointment, Jesus was fulfilling a far greater purpose—one that would bring eternal hope through the paradox of the cross.

As Pastor Curt reminded us, Jesus intentionally chose this moment, weaving His coming sacrifice into the ancient rhythm of God's promises—inviting us to remember, reflect, and rejoice as we prepare our hearts for the cross and the empty tomb.

SINCERELY, JESUS | WEEK 1: Gary Thomas

info@chcc.org (Gary Thomas) — Tue, 18 Feb 2025 19:40:44 +0000

Jesus is present and active, reigning over all history. The early church in Ephesus faced persecution and false teachings, yet Christ reminded them that His kingdom, not the world’s, is ultimate. While they stood firm in truth, they had lost their first love—both for Him and for others. This message warns us that faithfulness is not just about right beliefs but also about love. Overcoming does not mean earthly victory but remaining steadfast despite opposition. Jesus calls us to resist the pressures of the world while staying devoted to Him and compassionate toward others.

In this week's sermon, Pastor Curt Taylor is tackling the topic of moral relativism—the idea that "what's right for you may not be right for me." At Cherry Hills Community Church, we believe truth isn't a moving target, and God's moral standards don't change based on our feelings or cultural trends. Instead of chasing after a world where "anything goes," we'll explore why God's truth is the rock-solid foundation we need to live with purpose and integrity. Listen as we unpack why living by God's unchanging moral compass brings freedom, not restriction, and why moral relativism leads us down a path of confusion and chaos.

BORN WILD WEEKEND | 11am Service | Todd Pierce

What an unforgettable weekend we had at CHCC with “Born Wild”! During our special 9 & 11a services, Todd Pierce from “Riding High Ministries” brought a real horse live onstage, creating a unique and powerful experience. Todd captivated us by illustrating the profound connection between readying a horse for its first rider and our relationship with God. It was more than just a service—an inspiring event that resonated with everyone.

WHO IS JESUS? | Curt Taylor

info@chcc.org (Curt Taylor) — Mon, 9 Sep 2024 20:14:52 +0000

In this sermon, Pastor Curt Talyor will explore the story of Zacchaeus from Luke 19, a powerful example of Jesus’ deep love for those far from Him. Zacchaeus, a tax collector and a man despised by many, climbed a tree to catch a glimpse of Jesus. Despite his past and the judgments of others, Jesus looked up, called Zacchaeus by name, and invited Himself into his home, demonstrating that no one is too far from God’s grace. This encounter transformed Zacchaeus' life, leading him to repentance and a commitment to make things right. Connecting this story with the act of baptism, we will see how Jesus not only seeks those who are lost but also calls them into a new life. Baptism symbolizes this profound transformation and commitment, representing a public declaration of faith and a fresh start in following Christ. Just as Jesus invited Zacchaeus into a relationship with Him, He invites each of us today, regardless of our past, to experience the fullness of His love and grace through repentance and baptism.

ALL I KNOW | Jessie Davis

info@chcc.org (Jessie Davis) — Thu, 5 Sep 2024 04:44:57 +0000

What’s the power of your story? You might feel weak, powerless, or unable to be used by God. The truth is, God loves using broken people to do wonderful things for his kingdom. When you’re honest about your weaknesses and failures, your story becomes your greatest strength!

FIRST COMES LOVE, THEN COMES BAGGAGE - WEEK TWO

info@chcc.org (Curt Taylor) — Tue, 27 Aug 2024 18:07:05 +0000

If we want our relationships to be healthy, we have to fight for them. But what are we fighting against? Join us as Pastor Curt Taylor unpacks what it means to fight for connection in our marriages and families.

FIRST COMES LOVE, THEN COMES BAGGAGE - WEEK ONE

info@chcc.org (Gary Thomas) — Tue, 20 Aug 2024 21:16:27 +0000

For the vast majority of us, the biggest problem in our marriages is pride. James says that God "opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble." Marriage is a context in which we express Christ's love for one another through mutual submission. Join us as Gary Thomas kicks off our new marriage series, "First Comes Love, Then Comes Baggage!"

I Love My Church

GOLD MEDAL CHURCH: WEEK FOUR | Curt Taylor - Cherry Hills Community Church

info@chcc.org (Curt Taylor) — Sun, 4 Aug 2024 10:30:00 +0000

How do we deal with loneliness and isolation? What does it mean to belong? While we often read the Scriptures with an individualistic lens, almost everything in the New Testament addresses communities of people, not individuals. Join us for this sermon as Pastor Curt Taylor explores how the early church participated in community and how we can do the same today.

GOLD MEDAL CHURCH: WEEK THREE | Curt Taylor - Cherry Hills Community Church''

info@chcc.org (Curt Taylor) — Mon, 29 Jul 2024 22:40:20 +0000

Why is it so hard for us to love and serve others? For most of us, the problem isn't that we are simply unwilling to love others; the problem is that we are too preoccupied with ourselves. Join us as Pastor Curt Taylor continues our series Gold Medal Church. Affection follows direction!

GOLD MEDAL CHURCH: WEEK TWO | Curt Taylor - Cherry Hills Community Church'

info@chcc.org (Curt Taylor) — Mon, 22 Jul 2024 12:03:14 +0000

The early church had a clear goal. Those early followers of Jesus understood that spreading the Gospel to all nations was the ultimate goal worth pursuing. They also understood that accomplishing that goal would come at a great cost. Has your faith ever truly cost you anything?

GOLD MEDAL CHURCH: WEEK ONE | Curt Taylor - Cherry Hills Community Church

We all know the goals we want to achieve. So why don't we achieve them? Tune in as Pastor Curt Taylor kicks off our new Olympics-themed sermon series, "Gold Medal Church." The difference between those who set goals and those who actually achieve them is sacrifice.

THE BOOK OF ACTS | Week Seven

info@chcc.org (Harvey Carey) — Mon, 8 Jul 2024 21:58:37 +0000

Join us as our special guest speaker Harvey Carey continues our series through the book of Acts! The relationship between Jew and Gentile is a central theme in the book of Acts. When we read and understand these passages rightly, we see how God opened up a way for all to be saved -- by grace!

THE BOOK OF ACTS | Week Six

info@chcc.org (Gary Thomas) — Sun, 30 Jun 2024 10:30:00 +0000

Are angels just make-believe, or the product of an over-active imagination? Are they simply how ancient people explained the unexplainable? The Bible talks a lot about angels, and it only speaks of them as literal beings, created by God, who interact with humanity on God's behalf. The book of Acts in particular is filled with references to angels doing God's will and helping believers in their time of need. Tune in to this message by Gary Thomas to hear a biblical perspective on the what, why, and how of angels.

THE BOOK OF ACTS | Week Five

info@chcc.org (Gary Thomas) — Sun, 23 Jun 2024 10:30:00 +0000

A healthy, reverent fear of God permeated the early church community. They understood that knowing God meant having a healthy fear of him. This reality plays out vividly in the story of Ananias and Sapphira, a married couple who lied to God and died because of it. How can we as the modern-day church engage with the fear of God in a reverent way? Listen to this teaching by Gary Thomas to find out!

THE BOOK OF ACTS | Week Four

info@chcc.org (Curt Taylor) — Mon, 10 Jun 2024 11:14:13 +0000

What's the difference between an opinion, a belief, and a conviction? When we study the early church, we see a community of disciples willing to die for what they believed. That's the essence of conviction. When you stand on the word of God, He empowers you with boldness to stand on your convictions!

THE BOOK OF ACTS | Week Three

info@chcc.org (Curt Taylor) — Mon, 3 Jun 2024 09:55:10 +0000

Almost all of us have been tempted with self-promotion or pride. We feel like if we don't promote ourselves, we won't experience significance or meaning in our lives. The apostle Peter had a similar struggle with significance. In the Gospel narratives, we see a Peter with a lot of ambition. When we get to the book of Acts, however, things change. Peter was a "nobody" who became a "somebody" -- but not the way he expected. Peter found significance through humility and service. God invites all of us to walk the same path -- to find meaning and purpose not through self-exaltation, but through humility.

THE BOOK OF ACTS | Week Two

info@chcc.org (Gary Thomas) — Mon, 3 Jun 2024 09:52:30 +0000

The book of Acts begins with an account of Jesus’ last days with his disciples and his ascension into heaven. While the ascension is only briefly described in Acts 1:9-11, these three short verses are profoundly significant for our understanding of the rest of the book of Acts. Because of the ascension, we know that Jesus is ruling and reigning at the right hand of the Father, interceding for us and preparing a place for us with himself.

THE BOOK OF ACTS | Week One

info@chcc.org (Curt Taylor) — Sun, 19 May 2024 10:30:00 +0000

Have you ever been confused about who the Holy Spirit really is? We often hear the Holy Spirit referred to as an impersonal “it”, or as some kind of mysterious force. But the Holy Spirit isn’t an “it” — He’s a person, the third person of the Trinity. He is fully God, as the Father and Son are fully God. Tune in as Pastor Curt Taylor kicks off our new sermon series on the Book of Acts. The Spirit is our divine comforter and counselor, the one who glorifies Jesus in and through us.

"for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus." Romans 3:23-26
