Christ Community Church (formerly ECC)

Christ suffered on the cross, refusing to save himself in order to save us, knowing his Father would vindicate him three days later as He carried out His plan of redemption.

Bob and Brenda, Josiah and Brittany, and Dan and Lynn offer their wisdom on relationships.

A fresh look at the familiar story of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem before the Passion. Setting aside our own lens of perspective, what did those who were there see?

While fleeing from Saul, David has the opportunity to take Saul’s life. He refuses to do so, claiming that he cannot kill God’s anointed one. Even though Saul is pursuing him for evil intent, David is determined to let God deal with the injustice. This is a theme that we see in the Psalms of David, “Lord please rain down justice or vengeance upon my enemies…” David clearly sees (experiences) the i...

Dan explains two key pieces of a biblical framework for relationships: the universal mark we bear and the universal mandate we must obey.

The story of David, Nabal, and Abigail. The courage and desire for justice that served David so well against Goliath almost leads to a great sin, if not for Abigail's humble intervention with the truth.

Josiah explores Philippians three.

A look at God's grace and mercy despite our sin, confession, and the foolishness of trusting in our own strength.

What are the conditions through which the Lord speaks to us? How should we live in order to hear from the Lord? Are we willing to listen? Are we listening?

In looking at the life of Hannah, what can we learn about living with the blessing of God? Equally important, how should we live when the blessing we request has not been received?

Josiah speaks about what it means to live in light of the ultimate end of the story - the victory of God and the establishment of the New Heavens and New Earth

Guest speaker Dr. Mark Coppenger preaches from Isaiah 61 on our Blessings in Christ.
