CHRIST COMMUNITY CHURCH MEMPHIS

Coleton preached from Luke 19:1–10, the story of Zacchaeus, to show how Jesus transforms lives through love, not guilt or fear. Zacchaeus, a wealthy tax collector despised by others, was radically changed when Jesus chose to stay at his house. His response—giving to the poor and repaying those he wronged—demonstrates how experiencing Christ’s love leads to deep transformation. Coleton emphasized t...

Our Vision is: To see the fame and deeds of God in our time by developing followers of Jesus who are committed to practicing the way of Jesus. This vision is drawn from Habakkuk 3:2 and Matthew 28:18–19—a call to believe God can still act in powerful ways today and to commit to discipleship that actually practices His teachings. ⸻ Reason 1 – We must still believe God can and will act in power toda...

Mark 10:46-52 Coleton taught on the story of Bartimaeus, highlighting three key themes: Persecution, Prayer, and Faith.     1.    Persecution: Bartimaeus cried out to Jesus despite being rebuked and told to stay quiet. Coleton emphasized that faith in Jesus will sometimes annoy others or invite persecution. We can silence opposition by stopping, but doing so risks missing out on what Jesus wants t...

Text: Mark 10:32–45 In this message, Coleton draws out three defining qualities Jesus desires in His followers. As Jesus journeys to the cross, He pauses to tell His disciples what He wants them to become. In the same way a father might shape the identity of his child (like Coleton does with “bro trips” for his son), Jesus shapes the identity of His people. 1. He Wants the Cross to Be Central Jesu...

In this sermon, Larry speaks from a place of wisdom, experience, and heartfelt concern for relationships. Drawing on decades of pastoral ministry and premarital counseling, he shares one of eight key principles he believes are essential for building, strengthening, or healing relationships: the incredible power of our words. Larry begins by pointing out how many relationships feel like they contro...

Text: Mark 10:17–31 Coleton taught from the story of the rich young ruler, highlighting how a man who seemed to have everything—morality, status, and wealth—still lacked the one thing that truly mattered: Jesus. His story shows us three important lessons we must learn if we want to experience eternal life and freedom. 1. Good Moral Behavior Cannot Earn Eternal Life The rich man did everything righ...

Pastor Andrew Banker delivered a deeply personal and theologically rich message rooted in Romans 8:1–17 , emphasizing our identity in Christ as adopted sons and daughters of God. Sharing from his family’s journey through foster care and adoption, Andrew illustrated the transforming power of God's love and how it redefines us. He began by recounting how his family, including five biological and fos...

In this message, Coleton explores what it means to receive the kingdom of God like a child. Using the moment when Jesus welcomes little children while His disciples try to turn them away, Coleton highlights Jesus’ radical teaching: only childlike people can experience the life of the kingdom. Coleton frames the teaching around three key qualities children naturally possess, which Jesus wants His f...

In her sermon, Shari uses the metaphor of the Camino de Santiago—a long spiritual pilgrimage—to illustrate the Christian journey of moving continually toward peace and away from chaos. She reflects on her own experience walking the Camino, emphasizing that the daily, intentional choices made on the trail mirror the spiritual decisions we make in life. Life, like the Camino, is not static. Everythi...

This week Coleton guided the congregation through Jesus’ teaching on marriage and divorce, helping listeners understand not just the law, but God’s heart. 1. The Context Behind the Question (vv. 1–4) The Pharisees weren’t genuinely interested in truth—they were trying to trap Jesus, either in conflict with Moses' law or in political danger (like John the Baptist, who spoke against Herod’s divorce)...
