Christ Community Church - Downtown Campus - SUNDAY MESSAGES

Jesus confronts someone, who by no means is looking to change, and tells him that everyone, including him, must have a fresh start and become a completely transformed person, in order to experience life the way God designed it. Jesus says that real, lasting change is both necessary and actually possible, though not in the way you might think.    Join us as we explore why a new birth is necessary,...

What image comes into your mind when you think about Jesus? The picture John gives is both scandalous to some modern Christians and also surprising to Christians throughout the ages. But maybe that’s why we can trust Him…   I hope you join us as we continue to see who God reveals Himself to be in Jesus. You might just crack a smile.

We are beings who “want,” and Jesus, rather than condemning us for being “wanting” creatures, meets us there in the midst of our tangled desires.   Join us as we continue to walk through John’s Gospel account. John retells how he experienced Jesus guiding him and his friends into more than they could have realized they wanted. Come and see for yourself… Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/4...

When you look at Jesus, what jumps out at you? What captures your attention? What do you see? Does He grab your attention or not? What does it even mean to give Him our attention in order to really see Him?   Join us this Sunday as we explore with an unruly character in Scripture, John the Baptist, what we are to see and behold when we see Jesus.

All the Christmas decorations start to make their way to the back of the storage closet, but what do we do with Jesus now ? When we’re surrounded by humdrum life rather than the magical season of Christmas, what should we expect from Jesus?   We need a word for this season. Join us as we begin a new series in the Gospel of John to hear the word we need.  Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/...

We can often struggle to let God lead us as Shepherd, because we can think we know what’s best for ourselves. This is especially true if we’ve been led by terrible leaders in the past. We can wonder, “How can I trust God when my experience of leaders is so contrary to who God claims to be?”   Join us as we explore how we can learn to trust that He is that Good Shepherd who leads us to what’s best....

There is a loneliness that cannot be silenced but by God Himself. We sing, O Come O Come Emmanuel, God with us every year at this time, but what does that mean for us? What should we expect? Will that make my life easier, my hope more palpable, my strength more resolved?   Join us as we unpack this brilliant name of God, Immanuel, on display in Matthew’s Gospel account.

Something happens to us when someone takes notice of us. We all long to be noticed. To be seen. To be loved. Where do we turn when we feel overlooked in life?   One of the names of God - the only name a human being gives God that He holds onto - gives us incredible comfort this time of year. Join us as we continue to explore the names of God in Scripture and how they guide us into a deeper intimac...

We are only at the beginning of a massive healthcare crisis, but it may not be for the reasons you think. If you long for a healthier life and a more whole faith, join us as we finish out this brilliant letter from James in Scripture.  21.11.14

21.11.07

It may seem like a trite question but how do you know you want what is best for you? What if we spend our lives chasing something that will leave me empty? Is there a way we can better navigate the mystery of our own future?   God longs to give us what is best for us, but it takes our participation. We don’t earn it, but we do have to do the work. How? And how do we know we’re on the right path? J...

Who doesn’t have a time in their life when they wished they could take back a word/text/email? Regret around words is a human experience, and God wants to free us from accumulating regret around our words.    Join us as we continue walking through the letter from James to see how real faith changes how we talk everyday.  21.10.17

James 1:19-27, 2:14-26 // Ben Beasley

Our world is full of alluring imitations that eventually leave us unfilled. The same can be true of the journey of faith. Do you have real faith? How do you know? Why would you even care? I thought God just cared about a mustard seed of faith?    Join us as we begin a new series in the controversial and powerful little book from Jesus’ brother, James. Warning: it will be a bit uncomfortable, but y...

SERMON NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/48755394 There are times in life when you feel like you can’t go on. You’ve got nothing left. You don’t want to talk to anyone and yet you need someone. You don’t have the emotional energy to do anything, but something needs to change. Where do you go when you feel like you can’t go on?   As we continue to discover the story of the Spirit across the Bibli...

SERMON NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/48755394 I get that I need friends. Of course, I don’t want to be alone. But why this Friend? I’ve got my people.  Of course, we need human friends. It is often our human friends -- our church family -- where we experience God’s presence together.  But they will never be enough. We will never be enough. Our longings are too big for any person or people to...

SERMON NOTES: https://bible.com/events/48755394 How do we begin to wrap our minds and hearts around the gifts of the Spirit? Well, Paul doesn’t want us to be uninformed. He starts off Ch. 12 by saying to the church in Corinth, “Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed .” By listening to Paul and what he writes to the Corinthians, we can get closer to wrapping ou...

SERMON NOTES: https://bible.com/events/48749017 Are you really alive? How do you know? What are the vital signs other than a pulse? Death and life are more elusive categories than we often admit.    Join us as we see how the Spirit makes all the difference between life and death. 21.08.22
