A Reformed church keeps reforming under God's word.
The goal? Christ-centered, God glorifying service.
At CERC, we've made some strong impressions throughout the years. And changed some too.
These stories tell of how our members grew to appreciate CERC's ministry, despite first impressions:

The common mindset is "Since I'm saved, I can now relax. Do I really have to work on my holiness, study the Word deeply, and proclaim the gospel to those around me? Doesn't God love me just the way I am?"

I used to have a false impression of God: a God who judges people arbitrarily for breaking His rules. But a careful reading of Ezekiel through the Ezekiel teaching series has shown me that God isn't arbitrary at all, He is very angry at and is broken by Israel's whoring. Because God is holy and righteous, He has to judge Israel, His own people, who are in rebellion against Him, and He would be perfectly right in doing so.

‘How can you live the Christian life if you think it’s about you?’ These words from the first sermon came to mind throughout the series and they still do even as it comes to an end. They cut deeply to the heart of someone who was aware of the evil of man-centered theology (a worldview which thinks God exists to please mankind) that was out there, yet was oblivious to the sin within his own heart that wanted to keep his Christian life comfortable and easy.
