Christ Community Church (formerly ECC)

The good news concerning Jesus Christ was first announced by angels, then by Jesus himself and later by the disciples. Now it's our turn!

Continuing our series "Just the Essentials," we turn to consider the role of Scripture in the life of the believer. Paul's second letter to Timothy reminds us why we keep the Bible at the center of our corporate and personal spiritual lives, allowing it to inform, nourish, and make demands of us. This letter also gives us a tremendous model to follow, a model of passing on a love and respect for S...

There is nothing more central to the Christian faith than the cross of Christ. Ironically, this Roman symbol of death is the source of life.

This morning we heard from David Mensah, who directs the ministry of GRID-NEA in northern Ghana. The Israelites gathered around Ezra as the Law was read and worshiped the Lord for his goodness. God has given us who gather today in his Name much reason to follow their example.

Believe. Follow. Live.

This Sunday we begin Holy Week and our journey to Jerusalem and ultimately the cross. The road into Jerusalem is lined with an adoring crowd, paved with palm branches, and teaches us weighty truths about the Jesus we love and serve.

We live in a democracy where images of monarchy do not always bring to mind positive memories, mostly because of bad kings. But suppose the king was perfect...

Christ came to fulfill the law of the prophets. Arguably his most significant role was to be the priest of a new covenant. His sacrifice is final and the covenant is eternal.

Old Testament prophets spoke the word of the Lord. When Jesus came he stepped into the prophetic tradition, but he did more than speak the word of the Lord--he was the word of the Lord.

This week we bring our series Cultivate to a close, considering the fruit of self-control. Self-control isn't a flashy virtue; it seems common and almost mundane. But, allowing the Spirit to teach us self-control may be one of the most important things we can do to protect our own well being and the well being of those around us. Exercising self-control is actually an incredible expression of love...

What does it mean to be gentle like Jesus?

There are few characteristics that are more often referred to in a description of God than the word "faithfulness." As a result, it is predictable that such a characteristic ought to mark the lives of Christ-followers. Why is it important, and how are we doing?

Acts 10:38: Jesus is our example of goodness, so how should we emulate him?

Mark Twain said, "Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see." As Christians, we are called to speak this language in increasing measure and in so doing, to reflect our kind God. Join us Sunday as we explore how God's kindness gives us a pattern to follow this week.

"God please give me patience and hurry up because I need it now." That might be a humorous and contradictory request, but it sounds like me sometimes. Patience is certainly a difficult fruit to cultivate.

Joy is definitely part of the Christian life. It is both promised and on some occasions it seems like a command. Let's think about this together.

"Let the peace of Christ rule in your heart." What is the peace of Christ, and how does it affect how we view our interactions with others, even with other believers?

The fruit of Spirit and any other Christian virtues rise to their highest level when they are accompanied by love. Otherwise, as the Apostle Paul says, "they are a clanging cymbal."

The Apostle Paul provides a simple but profound message to the Galatians: Don't be a slave to the law or a slave to sin; instead, live in the Spirit. The message is still good today.

The 4th Sunday of Advent.

When is it productive to be discontent?

On this third Sunday of Advent, we look at the situation of the shepherds and the wise men in the story of Christ's birth.

2nd Sunday of Advent. When we think of the Incarnation, perhaps the best way to put it is, "When Love came down."

We begin the Advent season with a reminder to hope in what we know, even if we can't see it.
