What was the last generous thing you did? Chances are it didn’t involve money. Money may be the face of generosity, but it’s not the heart of it.   The people we most like to be around and to be like, generally have this one trait… generosity. Generosity is deep and authentic.   As we continue our series, “Good Ideas,” Pastor Ben Feldott of Cape Cod Church shares with us where generosity comes from and how we can have more of it.   First time listening to our podcast?

We all know honesty is a good idea. But how is this hard? What are we hiding from? What are we afraid of?    It turns out we have plenty of reasons and plenty of company. This “good idea” is a steep climb and offers a big reward—let’s walk through both of that together.   As we continue our series, “Good Ideas,” Pastor Ben Feldott of Cape Cod Church talks about one of the hardest kinds of honesty, and that is being honest with ourselves.   First time listening to our podcast?

What do we do when our faith or the faith of people we love begins to falter? What do we do when what used to make sense no longer does? When the faith we received doesn't feel like it fits?   In this message, friend and guest speaker Dr. Rex Keener talks about a challenging topic: deconstruction. Whether you know the term or not, the challenge will be familiar.   This Sunday is all about faith, deconstruction, and finding our way through the confusion.   First time listening to our podcast?

The power of one.   That’s how a fair amount of motivational speakers begin. “You—yes, you—can do this!” Except that’s not the “Good Idea” we’re tackling this weekend. This “one” is when we become “one.”   Jesus and His followers had a lot to say about this good idea and it’s a surprising reminder. What if our most powerful apologetic self showed up before we ever formed an argument or spoke a word?   Unity is a big idea, it’s a good idea, and it’s possible for you and for me, and for us.   As we continue this series called “Good Idea,” Pastor Ben encourages us how this “power of one” is achievable when we all decide to become as “one.”   First time listening to our podcast?

A “Good Idea.” You could call it a rule, but that might miss the point. It’s actually a good idea—the path to a full life.   Here’s one: listening. It sounds simple, right? Just pause, ask a question, sit back, and let the wisdom roll in! So simple it should be common. Let me ask you a question. How many great listeners do you know exactly?   As we continue this series called “Good Idea,” Pastor Ben talks about where this good idea comes in. Turns out, there is a twist to listening that makes it risky and rare. And surprisingly, it works, and it’s worth it.   First time listening to our podcast?

"Good Idea," the affirmation of wisdom—sounds good, doesn't it? Or maybe you've heard the other version, that's "Not a Good Idea."   Life is full of decisions. Each comes with its own consequences and responsibilities. Jesus spent a lot of time teaching us how to live. His goal was not to give a list of rules to blindly follow. But instead, He wanted to give us guidelines, His "Good Ideas," that are ​​meant to give us a full life.   As we kick off the new series "Good Ideas," Pastor Ben shares wisdom about how to get what we're looking for, a Full Life! We begin with one idea that will help us let go of some of life's heaviest things.   First time listening to our podcast?

We are coming to the end of Abraham’s story—what a story! Abraham lived well, not perfectly, but well.  We have seen in his life some of our most important chapters.   Now, in his final moments, Abraham teaches us something about legacy; about what we leave behind and how we can satisfy that part of us that wants to last forever. That’s a legacy.   As we continue this series called “There’s Something You Should Know,” Pastor Ben continues to share the story of Abraham and how he has lived his life well.   First time listening to our podcast?

When did you become you? Pick just one moment—it’s hard, I know. But try to narrow it down. Find that moment, and you’ll find something about yourself. Because in that moment, you learned a lesson that made you, you.   Many of life’s most important moments grew out of the soil of hopelessness and deep need. We crave control, but we can’t have it—at least not entirely. And where we lack, we learn.   As we continue this series called “There’s Something You Should Know,” Pastor Ben shares with us the story of Abraham and how he arrives at the most important part of his story. It’s sure to elicit emotions, even claims of unfairness, and it’s also a moment that will change everything.   First time listening to our podcast?

Maybe you think your origin story isn’t worth telling, never mind writing — mundane, common, or unremarkable. We have a recurring fear that this story doesn’t really matter to anyone beyond our own circles.   I hope you’ll hear me when I say your story is bigger than you know. That’s not just the passing encouragement of a friend — it’s the truth we need to uncover.   As we continue this series called “There’s Something You Should Know,” Pastor Ben shares with us this important and freedom-giving chapter in each of our stories. And when you’re done, you’re going to want to tell everyone.   First time listening to our podcast?

As we continue this series called “There’s Something You Should Know,” Pastor Ben helps us look at the places where life is hard and how God uses those to write our stories.   Origin story: you have one, and it’s not finished yet! Abraham’s famous origin story provides the setting for our own with a test; the kind we all face—the impossible ones.   When you know your story, you can work on your legacy.

As we kick off a new series called “There’s Something You Should Know,” Pastor Ben shares the first few things you need to know about your origin story.   You have an origin story of how you became you. It may not be written down—public, or published—but it's there. Here's one thing I know about your origin story: it matters!    But if you've never stopped to reflect on your own story, you may not even know all the details. Your story is worth uncovering, exploring, and even recording. It's the story of God at work in your life—and that's worth writing about. When you know your story, you can work on your legacy.   First time listening to our podcast?

In this message called “Measure Twice,” Pastor Ben shares with us these strategic questions about who we're called to be, and we're attaching a simple practice to each one. The result: something new and better — exactly what God has planned for you!   It’s a "new year, new you," right?! At this time of the year, we all hope for something better, something different — whether we capture this in announced "resolutions," or privately held new commitments.   But "hope" and "better" are vague terms, and our resolutions typically last no longer than a hundred other vague promises we've made to ourselves. So let’s ask ourselves those 3 strategic questions to understand what God has called us to be.   First time listening to our podcast?

In this message “Unlikely Resolutions,” Pastoral Associate Brittany Feldott proposes a New Year’s resolution for us as a church community—but it’s not what you might expect.   Before Jesus died, He prayed for one thing for the church: unity. But why was that such a challenge? It turns out the disciples were a pretty unlikely friend group (maybe even more than you realized)—the kind of people you’d expect to kill each other, not work together. And apparently, church is supposed to look the same.   If your experience of church has been people who look like you, and you naturally like… you may be settling for less than Jesus prayed. In this message we’ll explore the unlikely beauty of church community.    First time listening to our podcast?

As we continue our series “Christmas Presence,” we celebrate Christmas Eve with a message from Pastor Ben about the real reason for this season.   It’s time for Christmas Eve — candles, silent night, family, and the story of the “manger moment” that changed the world.   Here’s my invitation to you… Stop. Or at least slow down and be present in this moment.  Gather together, remember, sing (loudly or softly), worship. And together let’s remind ourselves about the first Christmas!   First time listening to our podcast?

Pastoral Associate Brittany Feldott takes a look at the truth of the Christmas Story with an open invitation to the skeptics.    Let's get real: there is some unbelievable stuff in this story like angels and virgin births, dreams and magical stars. It can make us a little uncomfortable especially when our friends ask, "Wait, you actually believe that?"   But Christians are never called to blind faith—not even on Christmas. It turns out the basis of our faith is much more substantial than that.

As we continue the “Christmas Presence” series, Pastor Ben shares with us the real gift to living a full life, especially during this Christmas season.   It’s almost here… The annual Christmas Musical Celebration at Cape Cod Church. That means music, laughter, the choir, and a whole lot more.   We think this is the perfect way to jump into the Christmas Season! At the center of this celebration is a story, the story of a generous gift for all the ages. So generous, it has generated over 49,000 songs! (that number must be true, I looked it up on the internet!)   We’re not going to sing all of them, but we have picked a few you will love. And we’re going to celebrate the story of  Christmas together. So, invite a friend—this is going to be good!   First time listening to our podcast?

It’s Christmas Time… Ready or NOT!   Like a marathon-length sprint, the season has begun - and before we know it we’ll be singing Auld Lang Syne and reviewing our Top # lists for 2022.   The holiday calendar creates its own pressure; it puts a clock to our goals and accomplishments, a timeline to our struggles and a deadline to our picture-perfect dreams. Maybe that’s why this season can feel so exhausting!   But that first Christmas recounts at least one person who found in it a good night's sleep. And who couldn’t use a good night's sleep?!   This Sunday Pastor Ben kicked off our Christmas message series, “Christmas Presence,” with a look at how we can  find true rest in this hectic holiday season.

As we conclude the series “Be Full,” we welcome another guest speaker from one of our partner organizations—MANNA Worldwide. Assistant Director for Asia, Craig Alsup, graces us with his presence as he shares the work they do at MANNA Worldwide. He also shares what it means to serve those who most need it, wherever they may be.   The day after Thanksgiving… Recovering? Shopping? Decorating? Dieting? So many options!   This Sunday, we’re wrapping up “Be Full,” our month-long celebration of your generosity to those "across the street and around the world" — and we're finishing big! The Teen Challenge choir will be worshiping with us once again — their testimonies of God at work in addiction recovery always inspire us — and we'll hear from another one of our global partners who is giving, loving, and serving others in the name of Jesus around the world. Don't miss it!   All month we’ve been inspired and challenged by what God is doing through your generosity, and what he's calling us to do in the coming year. This weekend is the perfect way to wrap it all together as we turn our eyes toward Christmas — and The Gift that inspires it all.   First time listening to our podcast?

As we continue the series “Be Full,” we welcome another guest speaker from one of our partner organizations—Amirah Foundation. Executive Director Mary Speta shares with us the work of Amirah Inc. and how it’s very fitting to celebrate the generosity of God through the church.   This is the Season of Generosity! We’re celebrating what God has enabled us to be a part of the past year — both around the world and across the street. And we’re looking forward to seeing what He will do next year as well.   This weekend we turn our focus to our local community — to our neighbors and partners here on Cape Cod and across New England, and to all the ways God has called us to help them discover a fuller life, both physically and spiritually.   First time listening to our podcast?

As we kick off a new series “Be Full”  and the annual Missions Emphasis — a celebration of our partnerships and projects "across the street and around the world" that are all about serving and loving others in the name of Jesus, we invited over guest speaker and pastor, Kevin Falde, to share of his experiences in his missionary works in Haiti and the Dominican Republic.   "She was full of good works and acts of charity." Acts 9:36   Luke, the author of the book of Acts, commends the disciple Tabitha with the highest praise he could give for a follower of Jesus — one who was beautifully living out the full life she'd discovered in Christ by giving, serving, and loving others in His name.   Because, like Tabitha, we want to Be Full as we live out our calling as His church — "full of good works and acts of charity."   First time listening to our podcast?
