Detox is the name of our series. Why? Because about this time of year, it is common to feel bloated. Does anyone else feel bloated? December brings an overdose on consumerism. An overdose on decorations. An overdose on parties. An overdose on sugar. And new years brings fresh resolve to clear stuff out in order to make room for the most important things.

AKA "Stump the Chump," Pastor Mark takes on your questions sent in via text message.

Unplug from the distractions that are constantly competing for attention, and gather your family at CCC for Christmas Together.

Deep within us all we long for home, but this longing is truly our longing for our heavenly home.

Stress on steroids. That is how life feels for many Nebraskans. Consider senseless shootings, a nasty political climate, rivers flooding, increasing suicide rates. No wonder we have stress.

One of the great ironies of Advent is that it is the time designed to create a focus on Jesus. But it is the time we tragically busy ourselves with holiday trivia so much that we can ignore Jesus.

We are celebrating and sharing stories about how God is using CCC’s generosity to further his kingdom.

We are the vehicle, but the Holy Spirit is our high-octane gas. Since the beginning of the Christian and Missionary Alliance – our family – has held two things as distinctives.

All God asks us to do is to reach ONE. But there is never the pressure to reach "Them all" or to reach "The masses". Just ONE. And God says he will be with you. The Holy Spirit will give you what to say. Jesus is the good news.

Intellectual understanding of what is being preached. The Bereans received with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures. They studied for themselves what was taught.

In order to understand how the story unfolds from here, you need to know that in Acts 8:1, a great persecution breaks out. The church was all pretty much in Jerusalem at that time. Likely 10,000 people were following Jesus and the authorities did not like it. So they began killing Christians like Stephen and throwing them in jail.

We live to bring the best news ever to the least-reached people!

One of the great divine encounters of the Bible. A Ethiopian eunuch’s journey to Jerusalem to pray and worship. Philip leaves a revival to go to the desert where he divinely encounters a eunuch who would ultimately take the gospel into the entire continent of Africa.

Being a consumer is natural, being a contributor goes against the grain. Our nature is not inherently altruistic, our nature is inherently selfish.

There is a strong correlation between generosity and sharing your faith. This is true in culture because in a very real way, sharing your faith is spiritual generosity.

We are boldly empowered by the Holy Spirit to be All for Jesus.
