"How To Not Burn Out"
Acts 26:19-29 | Pastor Paul Lauerman | April 19, 2026
Most of us eventually hit a wall where our nerves are worn raw and our capacity to keep going just gives out. Paul spent Acts 21-25 being hunted, lied about, and left to rot in a cell, yet he walks into his hearing in chapter 26 still fueled by a fire for the gospel. He didn’t just survive the gauntlet; he managed to keep his soul from becoming as cynical as the people trying to destroy him. This Sunday, we’re looking at what actually fueled Paul’s spirit when he had every reason to just give up.

Volunteers Needed: Our church runs on people who faithfully serve behind the scenes—and we’re looking to add a few more to the team.
CPC is looking for volunteers to help support the day-to-day work of the church office. This role plays a big part in keeping things organized, communication clear, and everything running smoothly week to week.
If you (or someone you know) are organized, detail-oriented, and have a heart to serve, we’d love to connect.
| | New Home for Sermon Notes We’re making it easier to stay connected! Starting this week, our sermon notes have officially migrated from YouVersion to Church Center. We want to make sure you have everything you need in one place. Go to Church Center, go to Sermons, open any sermon, see notes. If you haven't downloaded Church Center yet, now is the perfect time to make the switch! | | Join the CPC Team: Do you have a gift for clear communication and a knack for creating interesting designs? CPC is now looking for the right person to serve as our next Communication Manager. This position is currently part time and would be well suited to someone who loves the Lord and already knows the CPC family well. For more information email Jerry Hammock at Jerry@cpceco.org We can't wait to hear from you. | | |
