Community Covenant Church

Have you ever experienced some difficulty or hardship in life or has someone you loved been in trouble or sick, and you asked God to relieve you of that difficulty or hardship, or to heal the person you loved – and he didn’t. Do you ever wonder why some people get relief from the difficulty and hardship they are experiencing, or why God healed someone else but not the person you loved?

How do you define freedom? What does it mean to be truly free—not just politically, but spiritually? In this message, we reflect on the words of Jesus to His listeners who had begun to believe in Him. He reveals that true discipleship involves more than a moment of belief—it’s about abiding, continuing, and living in His word. Through that continued obedience and relationship, we come to know the...

As we continue our study in the Gospel of John, Jesus engages in a tense exchange with the Pharisees about His identity , His authority , and the truth . In this passage, we see Jesus reveal more clearly who He is—and what it means to truly believe in Him.

As we continue our study of the Gospel of John, we come to one of the most well-known and powerful scenes in the life of Jesus—a moment that reveals the heart of  God’s amazing grace . In this story, we witness a striking contrast between human judgment and divine mercy.

Our friend and sister in Christ Jen Deardorff delivers today's message about inter-generational relationships and pontificates on the beauty of spiritual connection across age and experience. Through biblical reflection and gentle wisdom, Jen reminds us that the Church thrives when generations walk together—learning from one another, bearing each other's burdens, and celebrating God's...

This passage in the Gospel of John captures a moment of confusion and division among the people and religious leaders in Jerusalem as they wrestle with the question: Who is Jesus? Some begin to consider that He might be the Messiah, while others dismiss Him. As tensions rise, we see a growing urgency around Jesus' identity and mission—and how people respond when faced with the truth.

As we continue our study in the Gospel of John, we encounter a moment in Jesus’ life that invites us to reflect on  trusting God’s timing ,  trusting His methods , and  obeying His will —even when we don’t fully understand the why or when.

Many disciples turned away when Jesus' teachings became hard to accept. In John 6:60–71, we see the moment when the crowds thinned—not because He failed, but because He spoke truth that pierced the heart. In this message, we explore what it truly means to follow Christ in tough terrain. Are we merely fans of Jesus when it's easy and comfortable—or are we truly committed to following Him, even if m...

As we continue our journey through the Gospel of John, we arrive at Jesus’ first “I AM” statement:  “I am the Bread of Life.”  In this powerful passage, Jesus calls us not just to follow Him, but to internalize His very life — to receive Him fully as our source of nourishment, transformation, and eternal life. John's Gospel speaks deeply to both Jewish and Greco-Roman audiences, using rich sym...

JESUS CLAIMS TO BE THE SON OF GOD – STUDY NOTES John 5:16–30 May 4th, 2025 New Living Translation John 5:16–30 – Jesus Claims to Be the Son of God Study Notes: Verses 16–18 The healing was totally overlooked; all that mattered to the Jewish leaders was that the Sabbath law had been broken. The anger against Jesus reveals how much the Jews had lost their focus. They understood three steps for resto...

Today in our study of the Gospel of John, we see two people who are desperate for the healing Jesus can give them.    John 4:43-45: At first these verses are confusing. Do people in his home area believe in him or not?    Well, we know from what Jesus says earlier in John 2:23-25 that the people in his home area believed in him because of the miraculous signs he did.  However, he didn’t trust them...

Our sin separates us from God, but on the cross, Jesus took our sin on himself and paid the consequences we should pay. “He paid a debt he did not owe, so we would not have to owe a debt we could not pay.”  And He did that because of God’s love for us.  You see, God is a God of love, mercy, grace and forgiveness, and He wants to forgive everyone who is willing to open your heart and trust him for...

Jesus’ disciples and the people in Jerusalem on that very first “Palm Sunday” misunderstood his mission as they think he has come to be a conquering king and defeat the Romans who had militarily taken over the nation of Israel. They think that he has come to defeat the Roman Army and restore Israel as a sovereign nation.   But Jesus, the Son of God (God in human form) has come to earth to be the u...

We live in a world today where people are hurting, wounded, broken, and damaged by what others have done that has hurt them, as well as by personal decisions they made which were self-destructive.  As a result, people need what Jesus offers – his healing and his life transforming love, grace and forgiveness.
