CCOG Sunday Morning Service 10-19-25 : When There’s No Bread, Become The Baker

Send us Fan MailWhat do you do when the bakery has no bread and the sanctuary has no praise? We trace a bold line from Ruth 1’s famine to the modern church, where it’s tempting to chase bright lights and quick relief in our Moab moments. Instead of bailing when it feels dry, we make a different choice: become the bakers. With humor, grit, and Scripture, we walk through a vivid, step-by-step “bread” framework for spiritual life that actually feeds people.We start by proofing the yeast—getting honest about whether our faith is active or dormant. Real disciples do, not just say. Then we prepare the dough, which means becoming a separate people who pull away from the bowl: dropping sin and needless weight, letting our speech, habits, and desires be made new. From there, the knead stretches us to carry more—more responsibility, compassion, and mission—because un-stretched lives can’t hold what God wants to pour in.Growth happens covered. In the first rise, we enter the secret place, where hidden prayer doubles what looks small. When life punches down pride through trial and persecution, we don’t quit; we return to the secret place for a second rise. Finally, we face the oven. We go low in humility, endure the heat, and let God finish us so we’re useful. The result is not hype but bread: a steady, nourishing witness that serves families, neighbors, and a hungry city.If you’ve felt stretched, punched, or tired of chasing spectacle, this message will help you re-center on praise, prayer, endurance, and service. Bring your spoon and fork, pull up to the table, and let’s bake.
