Christ Community Church (formerly ECC)

I & II Timothy and Titus have been called the Pastoral Epistles because they were written to individuals in pastoral ministry rather than to a church. Despite the differences between these and Paul's other letters, there is still much to be learned here for the Christian community. We could all use some practical wisdom from God, so let’s think about the themes in these three letters.

Josiah will wrap up our year together with a message on engaging God's mission in the places to which He leads us with a message from John 20 called "You are Sent!"

Josiah will conclude our Spring series, "Home and Away," with a message on the book of Nehemiah called "Leading by Faith." Join us in looking at the fascinating story of the rebuilding of the wall around Jerusalem and how God used a humble man of extraordinary faith to facilitate that project!

Today was Youth Sunday--Rob Girvin, our Director of Student Ministries, gave the message and the youth lead us in worship. The desire to "get it right" can lead us to reach for a point of arrival, but God is not done with us.

Pastor Bob gives an overview of missions at ECC and a glimpse of a few things possibly to come.

A look at Jesus' interaction with the disciples when he appears to them after the resurrection. How do the ways he encourages them relate to our situation?

Bob, Dan and Josiah field some great questions in the panel discussion about how to read and interpret the Bible.

Christ is risen! This is the source of the hope and the life we celebrate on Easter Sunday.

The disciples and those who accompanied Jesus to Jerusalem didn't have a complete understanding of the journey they were taking, but they walked along with purpose and in hope. Pastor Bob helps us look at their journey and ours.

Last Sunday Josiah began a new series exploring the fascinating books of Ezra and Nehemiah. Catch up as Josiah shares a message titled "Ezra: Where to Begin?!" that looks at the unlikely return of the first Israelite exiles from Babylon and the beginning of their rebuilding efforts in Israel.

Pastor John Mangrum comes to visit with Connexion and share God's word and his wisdom. If you missed it because you weren't back from Spring Break yet, you can listen here!

Paul's letters to the Thessalonians are probably the first letters he ever wrote. The return of Christ wasn't a doctrine to be dissected and debated, but was a central truth for Paul. It's also one he treats pastorally, using it to address real concerns the church had then...and still has now.

“All things were created by [Jesus Christ]…in him all things are held together.” What does this enormous statement mean? To what extent are our lives shaped by this reality?

Josiah continues the Spring series on the book of Daniel

Picture this: A stooped old man wasting away in a prison with a glowing smile on his face. He is writing a letter that will later be known around the world as “The Letter of Joy.” Why is he so joyful? Let’s learn the secret of his joyful perspective.

Pastor Dan takes us through Paul's reflections on the Gospel and its implications in the life of the believer and the life of God’s people, the church.

Following up on Pastor Bob's sermon 'Shaped by the Other', three couples sit on a panel about marriage, sharing their experience, wisdom, mistakes and answering questions about marriage.

In the Epistle to the Galatians Paul addresses the problem of legalism with very severe language, but he also reminds the believers that they are supposed to live in the Spirit. Paul is trying to "reset the table" so to speak by reminding them of what is essential – simply the good news about Jesus Christ. Has the Good News become lost in our agenda?

Pastor Bob delivers the annual sermon on relationships at Connexion!

Pastor Bob draws out some of the major themes from this letter as we press on through Paul's letters to the churches in the New Testament.

Josiah continues the spring series on the book of Daniel.

Pastor Bob draws out the main themes of Paul's letter to the Romans in this encouraging message, the first in a message series that will focus on a book of the New Testament each week.

Pastor John leads us through this passage as we look to the new heaven and new earth, considering the hope and longings we feel for the time when God will establish his dwelling with men.

The Apostle Paul claims that God loves those who cheerfully give to others and blesses those who give – sow sparingly, reap sparingly, but sow generously and you will reap generously. What is the connection between cheerful generosity and the blessing of God?

Josiah continues this series in Daniel!
