In this Vision 2026 message from Romans 1, Pastor David walks us through the Apostle Paul’s conviction that the gospel is both an obligation and a source of confidence. This message also explores why followers of Jesus are called to share the gospel without shame, and how that calling touches every part of our lives, as well as why the message of Jesus still stands strong no matter the culture aro...

In our first message in our series Vision 2026, we look at a simple but searching theme: trust. John trusted Jesus with his life, his future, and his obedience. Even more striking, Jesus trusted John with His mother and with the message of the gospel itself. From the cross to the written Word, this message invites us to consider what it looks like to be faithful with what Jesus entrusts to us. As...

In this message from Pastor Charlotte, we turn to 2 Peter 1:3–11 and are reminded that God has already given us everything we need for our lives. Spiritual growth is about training with intention to become more like Christ. Peter paints a picture of a life built on faith and formed through virtue, endurance, godliness, and love. This is the kind of growth that leads to clarity, stability, fruitful...

Go Fish | John 21:1–25 This message closes our year-long journey through the Gospel of John. In John 21, we look at Jesus’ post-resurrection encounter with Peter—why Peter returns to fishing, how Jesus restores and recommissions him, and what it means for us to follow Jesus, love His people, and remain faithful to His call.

This week, Pastor Charlotte walks us through John 20:19–31 and invites us to see the Resurrection through the lens of the 8th Day. A day that points beyond the old order and into God’s new creation. This message reminds us that the Resurrection is not only something to believe, but a new reality to live in. Through Christ, fear gives way to peace, isolation gives way to mission, and death gives wa...

This message from our series So That You May Believe and Have Life explores John 19:38–20:18 and the events surrounding the burial and resurrection of Jesus. We follow the actions of Joseph, Nicodemus, the discovery of the empty tomb, and Mary Magdalene’s encounter with the risen Christ. The focus is the truth of the resurrection and what it reveals about who Jesus is and what it means to follow h...

In this message, Barbie James walks through John 19:16b–30 and shows how every detail of Jesus’ crucifixion fulfills God’s promises. John emphasizes fulfillment more than chronology, helping us see that nothing about the cross was accidental. From the location at Golgotha, to the sign above Jesus, to the soldiers casting lots, to the vinegar on a hyssop branch, every moment points back to Scriptur...

In John 18 and the opening verses of 19, Jesus navigates betrayal, denial, and an unjust trial. Judas hands Him over. Peter cracks under pressure. Pilate struggles to understand Him. Through it all, Jesus simply stands steady and offers Himself. If you are wrestling with doubt, guilt, or fear, we hope these passages give you hope. The Savior who remained faithful in the garden is the same Savior w...

Jesus’ prayer in John 17 gives us a clear window into His heart before His approach to the cross. He prays for His own glorification, for the protection and sanctification of His disciples, and for the unity of every believer who would come after them. This passage shows us what matters most to Him. In this message from Pastor Charlotte we look at how eternal life is found in knowing the Father an...

In John 16, Jesus tells His disciples that He will be leaving soon, but He also promises they wouldn’t be alone. The Holy Spirit, as God’s own presence, has and will continue to live within us. This message from Pastor David McCowan explores what that means for followers of Christ today, to recognize that The Holy Spirit is not a substitute for Jesus but rather the embodiment of his eternal presen...

In John 16, Jesus tells His disciples that He will be leaving soon, but He also promises they wouldn’t be alone. The Holy Spirit, as God’s own presence, has and will continue to live within us. This message from Pastor David McCowan explores what that means for followers of Christ today, to recognize that The Holy Spirit is not a substitute for Jesus but rather the embodiment of his eternal presen...

Jesus said, “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.” In this message from John 15 and 16, we look at how followers of Christ can respond when faith meets opposition. The same world that rejected Him will often reject those who belong to Him, yet He promises His presence and strength through the Holy Spirit. Even in hostility, we are called to remain steadfast, to love, and to...

What does it mean to abide? In John 15, Jesus calls Himself the true vine and invites us to remain in Him. When we remain, our lives will begin to bear lasting fruit. This week's message explores what it means to make your home in Christ, to stay connected to both God and the pruning process He has laid before us. Through prayer, community, and obedience, we can lean into Him and learn to live...

In John 14:15–31, Jesus teaches his disciples that obedience isn’t about EARNING God’s love, but rather the natural response to already being loved by Him. When love takes root in our hearts, obedience becomes its fruit. This Sunday we explore how true obedience flows from a relationship with Jesus and not from a fear of messing up or the daily pressure that adds up on us. Through the gift of the...

Do Not Let Your Hearts Be TroubledJohn 14:1–14 | The Gospel of John: So That You May Believe and Have LifeIn one of the most comforting moments of Scripture, Jesus tells His disciples, “Do not let your hearts be troubled.” He knows fear, loss, and uncertainty are real—but He offers peace rooted in trust, not circumstance. This message from John 14 reminds us that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and t...

In this week’s message, we continue our study through the Gospel of John as Jesus turns His focus toward His disciples. In John 13:18–38, we see that Jesus knows the hearts of His followers, the future that awaits Him, and the spiritual darkness of unbelief. Jesus also reveals the betrayal of Judas, and yet still demonstrates love and humility even toward the one who turns on Him. Through His Word...

In John 13:1–17, we see Jesus as he washes his disciples’ feet. This simple act shows the depth of His love and the kind of humility He calls His followers to live out. To follow Jesus is to serve others, even when it means sacrifice. As we study this passage, we also see that true discipleship is about picking up the towel and serving others. Jesus calls us to embody His love in practical, sacrif...

In this message, Pastor Charlotte unpacks a crucial turning point in John’s Gospel: Jesus declares, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.”From John 12:20–50, we see three life-changing truths:The Time Has Come for Glory – True glory comes through the cross. The Time Has Come for Judgment – The ruler of this world is defeated, and Jesus takes judgment upon Himself. The Time Has Com...

Thinking about what we learn from Mary’s example, we move into the next event recorded in John 12:1-19, where we see a whole different motivation for why people worship Jesus. What a difference there is in the way Mary worships Jesus from the way the crowds worship Jesus. Mary is worshipping Jesus for who he is and letting him define who he is and what he is about, while the crowds on that Lamb Se...

In John 12 , we see a powerful act of devotion when Mary pours out costly perfume at the feet of Jesus. While some saw it as wasteful, Jesus called it beautiful. This moment reminds us that true worship is never wasted. It is an offering of love, honor, and surrender to the One who gave everything for us. As we study this passage together, we’re invited to ask: What does it mean to give Jesus our...

This week, we celebrated FX Sunday or "Family eXperience", designed to help kids and families worship together in a unique way. However, this week we went "old school,” doing away with contemporary worship and projector screens, and singing hymns straight out the hymnals. Pastor Charlotte 's message shares from John 12:1–3 and Luke 10:38–42 , reminding us of the beauty of worshi...

This week at Community Covenant Church , guest Pastor LaRon Thompson shares a powerful message titled “Don’t Waste God’s Fruit” Pastor LaRon reminds us that Jesus is the vine and we are the branches, and that we are called and chosen to bear fruit that will last. But what happens when we withhold what God has given us? Like food that spoils when it’s not eaten, spiritual fruit can go to waste when...

This week, Pastor Charlotte walks us through John 11:1–57 and the story of Lazarus. In this passage, we see that God’s delays are not His denials, that Jesus is the resurrection and the life, and that He weeps with us in our pain. Even in moments when God seems late or distant, we can trust that He is working for our good and His greater plan. The God who calls Lazarus out of the tomb is the same...

Previously in John chapter 10, we saw Jesus talking about his relationship with all who are his followers, and he describes that relationship using the metaphor of himself as the Good Shepherd who watches over his sheep, protecting them to the point where he is willing to lay down his life for his sheep. He did lay down his life for us as we will see later in the Gospel of John when he went to the...

In this message, we dive into John 10:1–21, where Jesus describes Himself as the Good Shepherd—the One who knows His sheep by name, lays down His life for them, and leads them into abundant life. This passage continuously reminds us that not all voices in this world are worth following, but there is One who calls us by name, bringing truth and love alongside it. Whether you feel lost, or simply in...
