Welcome

Christ Focused Coaching (CFC) is a service to help people and groups uncover hidden talents and get moving to serve the Kingdom of God. The main focus of the work is in a Christian perspective. So, we focus on God's call and desire in your life. But this is not all that is accomplished.


CFC works with leaders in various situations to help them through a struggle. Groups in general are assisted by helping them come together to achieve their goal together. Individuals who are struggling to move forward in any way can be helped. A Christian perspective just means we tend to work with followers of Christ, but we also worked with people of all faiths and no faith.


Training was accomplished through World Coach Institute and following the International Coaching Federation ethical guidelines.


If you would like to speak with Christ Focused Coaching, email at revmatthewroberts@gamil.com The first meeting will be a get to know each other and see if CFC can be a service to you.

Coching in Scripture: The Ten Commandments

A group I follow in helping me expand my out look on coaching is Coaching 4 Clergy.  Recently they have been working on offering blogs on coaching our way through Scripture.  The latest is on Lazarus.  All of their posts are great and offer some fantastic questions for us to think as we follow Jesus more closely.  To read others just check out their whole blog.  This idea of coaching through the Bible was brought again to me as I was reading my devotionals this morning.  One devotional I read is the Daily Feast: Meditation from Feasting on the Word Year B.  I use this in preparation for sermons on Sunday, but the first reading was not on this weeks topic, but on the Ten Commandments presented in Exodus.

Thee notes from the devotional talk about how the people of Israel could not refuse the Ten Commandants because God help Mt. Sinai over their heads.  This is not in any biblical tradition I have read, but it comes from interpretations of others rabbis over the years.  The giving of the Ten Commandments is celebrated in the Jewish festival of Shavuot. On the first night, a Jewsih follower is to stay up all night meditating on the Law given at Mt. Sinai. What a tremendous opening to a celebration.  How many of us would stay up all night to study scripture?

But the next part of the devotion is what reminded me of the coaching. The devotion asked: "How can the world be mended by living in response to Torah (Ten Commandments)?"  What a great question.  I think we as individuals can start a little smaller.  Here are some questions for you to think about after reading the Ten Commandments.

Which of the Ten Commandments are you following most closely now in your life?


 By Following the Ten Commandments, how much would your life be different?


Which of one of the Ten would force you to make the most changes in your life?


Which Commandment do you want to follow better in your life?


What is holding you back from following it?

I hope you will take the time to pray through these questions.  I believe God will use the answers you discover to help you follow Jesus fuller.  Let me know how the exercise works.  As always, I am willing to help you through the process.
