Christ Community Church - Brookside Campus - SUNDAY MESSAGES

Everyone has a take on Jesus. If you’ve heard the name Jesus, you’ve got a take on him. We love to speculate about what Jesus would say or do today. In our culture, Jesus is generally viewed favorably. He’s painted. Written about. Quoted. We love to quote Jesus… until he starts talking about himself. What Jesus says about himself is what got him killed. It’s also our only hope for life.  Sermon No...

What would you do if your child was dying? What lengths would you go to give that little one a chance of living? For the dad is this passage those questions weren’t hypothetical. He goes to Jesus desperate for help, and in his encounter with Jesus we get a picture of what real faith looks like in life’s hardest moments.   Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/48859267 22.03.20

Our lives leak. They won’t stay full. We try to fill them with some many things. But like a leaky water bottle not only do they not stay full, they also make a mess. In John 4 we discover that’s not a problem for Jesus. We see that what he wants is us —mess and all. He can heal the cracks and fill our lives with meaning and love and life that will never end.

What happens when we lose the spotlight? We are all naturally included to put ourselves at the center. We want to be admired and respected. That’s a good thing. But when feel like we’re losing the spotlight, things can get ugly fast. How do escape the trap of constantly comparing ourselves to others? That’s what this message is all about.

What is a Christian? And how do you know you are one? If someone asked you: What is Christian? How does someone know they are Christian? What would you say? What would your friends, classmates, or co-workers say? Someone who goes to church? A good person? Someone who prays and reads their Bible? Someone is politically conservative? What would Jesus say? How would Jesus answer the question? Jesus g...

This passage has been misused in so many ways! To justify violence: Hey, Jesus did it. So can I! To justify outrage: Hey, even Jesus flew off the handle sometimes. So don't get on my case if sound off on social media sometimes! Somebody’s gotta tell it like it is. It’s also been dismissed as simply an unrepeatable historical event that doesn’t have any principle or application to our Monday lives....

Who is Jesus? What is Jesus like, really? Can you imagine him at party? Can you imagine him providing the drinks at party? As we walk through this story, be open to discovering a Jesus is different and so, so much better than we portrays or imagine him to be. Are you open to that possibility?

What do you want? Do you know? Humans are wanting/desiring creatures most of all. It’s who we are. It is who are designed to be. The trouble is that as humans we have so many different wants. And those wants often conflict with one another. Our strongest desires in a particular moment may utterly conflict with our deepest desires for the whole of life. Join us we discover what Jesus has to say abo...

We have a strange relationship with the dark. We hate it. We’re afraid of it. Or least comfortable in it. But we also love it. At night when we’re trying to sleep. If we’re trying to get away with something or trying to hide something. We long for the light. But sometimes we’re trapped by the dark. So what do we do with darkness around us and in us? That’s what this message is all about. Sermon No...

Have you ever seen one of those Magic Eye pictures? Where if you stare at it long enough and in just the right way a secret image is revealed? Sometimes trying to find God feels like. We try as hard as we can and maybe we catch a glimpse. But what if there was a better way to know God? That’s what John shows in this passage. 22.01.09

It’s increasingly common for people to identify as religious “nones” or “spiritual, but not religious.” But Jesus makes the bold claim to being “the way, the truth, and the life.” The apostle John teaches us that Jesus is God’s Word in the flesh, and that by believing in Him, we may have life in his name. If this is true, then how we respond to Jesus is everything. It means we can’t stand on the s...

One of our greatest fears as little kids is being left behind, left alone. And what fear tells us that we already feel alone now. What we are going to discover in this message  as we look at Joseph’s story is that Christmas holds the answer to one of the deepest questions of our lives: How can I know that God won’t leave me? How can I know that God won’t leave me?  Sermon Notes: https://www.bible....

Our world is constantly changing. But Jesus has given us an unchanging mission for our ever-changing world.  Sermon Notes: bible.com/events/48797728 21.11.21

21.11.14

How do you plan when life is short and the future is uncertain? We hold deeply to a sense that we can control our lives, our finances, our health. We have more control than ever but we have never been more anxious collectively as a society and culture. Why? Because the more you can control the more you want to control. In this message we learn that real faith trusts Jesus with what it can’t contro...

James 3:13-4:10

Everybody knows favoritism is wrong. Nearly everyone believes favoritism is a problem. Very few people know what to do about it. And if we are honest with ourselves, it lives in our hearts. In this message, we learn how real faith sets us free from favoritism. 21.10.10
