Christ Community Church - Olathe Campus - SUNDAY MESSAGES

Romans 1:8-15 // Brooks Nesse Perhaps we come in feeling like we’ve squandered opportunity after opportunity, you come from brokenness, people have told you are not worthy enough to be received by anyone. But praise God it’s not about our worth, it’s about his. And that’s where the gospel breaks in, it has the power to break division between races, social status, and occupation. It even leads to C...

Romans 1:1-7 // Jonathan Neef Everyone knows that feeling of desperation. Maybe it was when you went out past where you could touch in the pool before you could swim well. Maybe it was when the doctor called about the results of a routine test. Maybe it was when your job was eliminated due to a merger. Those moments of feeling the need for rescue. These become mile markers in our lives. Moments th...

2 Samuel 24 // Jonathan Neef How would you write the ending of your story? Surely you would want to be seen in the best light possible right? Well, the ending of Samuel shows David as the chief of sinners. But while His sin is great, God’s Mercy is Greater. Today we see the story of sin, wrath, repentance, and mercy. Praise be to God the mercy extended to David is extended to us through the cross....

  2 Samuel 14-18 // Brooks Nesse At this stage of II Samuel, we reach what seems to be a total spiritual eclipse, where darkness seems to be so prevalent that you struggle to see a world where the God of light is working. But it's here in the darkness that we see God break-in in the most unexpected ways with the most unexpected people. But I will warn you, with all that being said, today’s story d...

2 Samuel 13:1-9 // Jonathan Neef Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49108761   Prayer Requests: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2542/responses/new 23.07.23

2 Samuel 12:1-25 // Nathan Miller Sin exposed can lead to grace. When we get caught. Or when we have the courage to confess. It’s a wake-up call. It’s a fire alarm going off in the middle of the night, warning you that if you want to live, you’ve got to leave the building.  It’s a light shining in the darkness. You didn’t even know you were walking along the edge of the cliff, headed for disaster....

2 Samuel 11:1-27 // Nathan Miller Where will I turn when I fail? The question isn’t whether or not you’re going to fail. The question is what will you do with your failure? Will you turn before you become the villain? Hiding always leads to more shame. Duplicity never leads to happiness. Self-justification only brings about deeper inadequacy. King David is a colossal disappointment. But he was nev...

2 Samuel 9:1-13 // Jonathan Neef We are in the place of Mephibosheth. We are orphaned from our heavenly father, we are crippled and broken by sin, we are poor and needy. Yet God in his Love searches for us and seeks us out. He calls us to himself and lavishes his steadfast and enduring love toward us. He offers us a seat at the table, riches, an inheritance, a place in His kingdom. Why would God b...

2 Samuel 7 // Jonathan Neef Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49092156   Prayer Requests: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2542/responses/new 23.06.25

2 Samuel 6:1-15 // Nathan Miller  When God manages us, He rescues us. He becomes the sacrifice for us. And instead of our death, He dies, and gives us life. And that same God reaches out to us. Not to destroy us but to redeem us. To offer His presence to us. And to make us whole.  Jesus is the true Ark, believe it or not, for He is the presence of God. He’s not a symbol of the presence. He is God'...

After millennia of promising a king would come, he finally appears, and it’s almost completely overlooked by the world. In the shadow of a massive empire, comes the king over all, and he came for us.   Join us this Christmas Eve as we take time to notice and celebrate the birth of the promised king! Prayer Requests: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2542/responses/new

1 Samuel 24 // Jonathan Neef  Will we trust God for His way and for His timing? What if this costs us our chance to seize everything we ever wanted? What if this is our moment to make it happen? Will we capture it? Or let it slip away? We are going to look at two men, the first two kings of Israel named Saul and David. We are going to see how God asks them to wait. And we will see how they respond...

1 Samuel 18-20 // Nathan Miller As Jonathan was nearly pinned to the wall by a spear, Jesus was pinned to the cross, truly dying in our place, so that we could live. And just as Jonathan found a way to rescue David, Jesus does the same for us. But the difference is, when Jonathan died he stayed dead. And there is no earthly friendship that can possibly meet all your needs. For all of our friends w...

1 Samuel 16:1-13 // Nikki Dieker But when God sees our hearts, those of us who have been redeemed by him, what he sees is Jesus, Jesus interceding for us. The one who paid the cost of our sins, he reconciled us, through his death to present us holy, faultless, and blameless before God. We don’t have to earn his love or acceptance, we can’t. When God looks at our hearts, because of Jesus, he doesn’...

John 14:6 / Bishop Mugisha Samuel Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49081669 Prayer Requests: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2542/responses/new 23.05.28

1 Samuel 2:1-10 // Nathan Miller God will never forget you. Take your heartbreak to Him. Hannah brings her tears, her bitterness, her anger, her disappointment, her loneliness. She holds nothing back because she knows she is not forgotten. We are never expected to hide how we’re feeling. We don’t have to clean ourselves up before we go to Him. And the Bible gives us countless examples of deep hear...

Acts 1:1-11 // Nathan Miller The Ascension means Jesus will return to be with us forever. He’s coming back. He will remake this world. And all who have lived for His Kingdom will live with Him forever. Jesus will return. This is our great hope. And we need it. It has sustained followers of Jesus for over 20 Centuries as they bear witness to the risen and reigning King Jesus. In all kinds of diffic...

John 21:1-25 // Jonathan Neef What is Jesus's response when his followers fail him? If you’re a Christian here today… If you’ve trusted and followed Jesus, for any length of time, you’ve probably asked that question. I know I have many times. And even if you’re here today and you’re not a Christian… if you’re exploring following Jesus, this is one of the most important questions you can ask about...

John 20:19-23 // Nathan Miller Jesus breathes life into us so that we can breathe life into others. That’s the Now What? The answer to our longing. This is our Why? as Christians. This is why Jesus didn’t just show up to the disciple and take them directly to heaven.  WE were ashamed but are now forgiven. And we get to bring that to others. WE were afraid behind locked doors but we’re given peace....

John 20:24-31 // Nydiaris Hernandez-Santos We are going to see his resurrected body and stare at the mark of the nails in his hands and the scars that the spear left in his side, and we are going to have no choice but to bow before him and worship him who overcame death so that we may have life. On that day, he will wipe the tears from our eyes as we stand before him wearing our own scars, the sca...

John 20:1-18 // Nathan Miller There is only one tomb that remains empty. One search that doesn’t ultimately end in death. And He is also searching for you. There is nothing about you, that if He finds out, He’ll walk out of the room. Nothing. He already knows. No matter the darkness, shame, or disappointment. No matter how many demons. Literal or metaphorical. He calls you by name. Let Him find yo...

John 19:17-30 // Tom Nelson He who is stripped naked and nailed to the cross who appears completely powerless, is actually the one who is all powerful. Jesus is the one who is really in control. No one takes Jesus’ life, Jesus gives it up.  John includes Jesus' final words on the cross, “It is finished,” not only to indicate that Jesus really died, but that his death accomplished something very im...

John 18:28-19:22 // Nathan Miller Let sacrificial love rule you (surrender to the Crucified King). For when we are gripped by His way. And we receive His love.  We don’t have to rule ourselves anymore. We’re adopted into a new family. We’re given a new identity. You are set free from the tyranny and fragility of having to define yourself.  We’re also set free from the whims of letting just anyone...

John 17:1-26 // Bill Gorman When in John’s gospel we overhear what God the Son prays to God the Father for us in prayer, out of all he invites the Father to do, his central focus is to reveal his glory. Maybe more helpfully labeled beauty, this glory is the catalyst to life-giving change the world over. You can’t help but wonder if Dostoevsky was right: beauty can save the world. Join us to find o...

John 18:1-27 // Nathan Miller Jesus knows what it’s like. This is so important. No matter what you’ve done, where you’ve been, or how much you’ve been hurt. Jesus knows what it’s like.  I’m sure you’ve had a moment in your life where something difficult happens. And someone says to you: I know what you’re going through or I know how you feel or something very well-meaning. But you also know they h...
