How do you view God? When you think about how He thinks of you, what comes to mind? This Sunday, we will hear Jesus share a story that is meant to radically reshape everything we think we know about God, and in return, reshape how we view ourselves and others. Speaker: Pastor Matt Slingerland

Do you ever feel like God isn’t fair? Can you compare yourself to others and feel like they have it better than you, or easier than you? Join us this Sunday, as we see Jesus tell a parable about how God isn’t fair, and how that’s actually really good news that can dramatically change how we experience life. Speaker: Pastor Jeff Boettcher

This Sunday we are going to hear one of Jesus’s most challenging stories. It is a story where he takes the concept of what it means to love and flips it entirely on its head. In a day and age where there is so much division, this will be a timely word as Jesus teaches how to love with mercy. Speaker: Pastor Jeff Boettcher

f you knew the world was ending tomorrow, would anything be different about your life today? Would you have any regrets? We only get one life and no do-overs. Our life is too precious to live for things that ultimately don't mean anything. This Sunday Jesus is going to teach us not only what we are to live for, but who we are to be. He gives an identity and a purpose that leads to a life witho...

Father's day can be a great day for some and a challenging day for others. In whatever we feel, God wants to meet us and speak to us by directing us to His fatherly care. Join us this Sunday as we hear about a story Jesus told that shows us our heavenly Father's heart. Speaker: Pastor Jeff Boettcher

Acts ends in a rather odd way. There is no resolution. It just abruptly stops. But in that abruptness lies the lesson. Acts does not have a resolution because the story is still going on. Jesus is still at work in this world through His church. So how can we take our place in history and continue the story? That’s what we’ll explore this coming Sunday. Hope you can join us! Speaker: Pastor Jeff Bo...

Why do hard things happen? If God is in control, then why is life not always easy? This Sunday we are going to see the Apostle Paul finally on his way to Rome but it isn’t smooth sailing. He suffers on the way. Why? Join us as we explore this profound question and hopefully find some reasons for peace in the midst of our hard times. Speaker: Pastor Jeff Boettcher

Life can be full of problems. But what if God is so powerful that He can be at work, even in our problems? Join us this Sunday as we continue our series in Acts and hear in chapters 25 and 26 about Our Problems and God's Plan. Speaker: Pastor Jeff Boettcher

This Sunday is a significant milestone in the life of Christ Church as we celebrate 10 years of having our doors open at 229 Moore Street. We'd love to have you join us as we thank God for the amazing things He's done and look forward to what He's going to do. The best is yet to come! Speaker: Pastor Jeff Boettcher

What makes you feel weary? What wears on you? There can be so many things, right? This Sunday is Mother’s Day and I know that there is a lot that can weigh on Moms. There is a lot that can weigh on all of us. For our Mother’s Day sermon this Sunday, God is going to speak into that through 1 Samuel 1:1-20. There is hope for heavy hearts. Speaker: Pastor Jeff Boettcher

What if Easter Sunday could change how we experience every day? This Sunday we are going to see in John 12:12-19 the good news of Jesus’s victory. And that good news changes everything. Speaker: Pastor Ian McConnell

How do you respond when someone starts questioning you about being a Christian? Join us this Sunday as we continue in our series in Acts and see Christianity on trial and how God wants us to stay in the grip of the gospel. Speaker: Pastor Jeff Boettcher

What if God is love? Join us this Easter as we consider how Jesus answers our questions and satisfies the deepest longings of our soul. Speaker: Pastor Jeff Boettcher

Life can often feel out of control, filled with unexpected situations and uncertain futures. But the more we understand how God is at work in all things, the more we can be at peace at all times. Join us this Sunday as we continue in our series in Acts and see the beautiful doctrine of God’s providence put on display through the life of Paul. There is peace in His providence. Speaker: Pastor Jeff...

What is your anchor? What steadies you when the winds of life blow against you? Join us this Sunday as we see the steadiness that comes from anchoring ourselves in the unshakeable promises of the unchanging God. Speaker: Joe Catoe

How do you navigate conflicts? How do you respond when people treat you with injustice and unkindness? This Sunday, we will see the Apostle Paul finally arrive in Jerusalem, and as he does, he almost immediately finds himself in conflict. But the power of Christ empowers him to love, even when it hurts. What would this world be like if we truly learned to love like Christ? Speaker: Pastor Jeff Boe...

How would you describe your relationship with Jesus? Skeptic? Believer? Lukewarm? Growing? This Sunday, we will be in the first part of Acts 21, and we will get a glimpse into the kind of relationship that Paul had with Jesus, which can be summed up in two words: Radical Love. Through this passage, God invites us to throw away the box that we can put Him in and experience a more radical love with...

If you knew you would never see someone you love again, what would you say to them? This Sunday, we are going to get a unique picture of the Apostle Paul's heart as he shares his parting words with some dear friends. Through this, God is going to show us some of the essentials of what life is meant to be all about. Speaker: Pastor Jeff Boettcher

How does God want His church setup? What is His definition of what a healthy church does? Join us this Sunday as we get a behind the scenes look at how God structured the early church and see what that means for what He wants for us. Speaker: Pastor Jeff Boettcher

What do you believe God can do? Maybe another way to think about it is what do you think God can't do? Join us this Sunday as we see God turn a city upside down. May this inspire us for what God can do in our city, and for what He wants to do in us. Speaker: Pastor Jeff Boettcher

What gives you FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out)? Missing an event, an experience, a time with friends? What if there was something even more significant that we might be missing out on? What if there was more to God? Join us this Sunday as we continue our series in Acts, meet some people who were missing some things about God, and see how God deepened their relationship with Him. Are you hungry for more...

What do you do when you feel down? Life in this broken world can be hard and discouraging. Where do you turn when you are worn down and worn out? Join us this Sunday at Christ Church as we see a story of a man who was weary and how God met him in that place and strengthened his heavy heart. Speaker: Pastor Jeff Boettcher

One of the hardest things to do, but also one of the most freeing things to experience, is giving forgiveness. Forgiveness is hard because our hurt is real. But forgiveness is powerful because it connects us to the heart of God and His forgiveness of us. Join us this Sunday at Christ Church as we consider together how Forgiven People Forgive. Speaker: Pastor Warren Boettcher

If you knew what would happen tomorrow, how would that change what you do today? While we don't know what tomorrow holds, as Christians, we do know how history ends. Jesus is on the throne, and we will worship him. Join us this Sunday as we finish our series in Hebrews 12:1-2 and see how knowing that end is meant to change everything about our now. Speaker: Pastor Jeff Boettcher
