The Freedom to Forgive Jun 28, 2026 Forgiveness is one of the hardest commands Jesus gives because it asks us to release a debt we feel someone still owes us. In Matthew 18, Jesus tells the story of a servant who was forgiven an impossible debt, only to refuse mercy to someone who owed him far less. His point is unmistakable: forgiven people forgive people. The cross forever changed the equation. Through Christ, God canceled the deb

The Father Who Runs Jun 21, 2026 The story of the prodigal son is not ultimately about two sons. It is about a Father whose love refuses to quit. While the younger son wandered into reckless living and the older son remained trapped in self-righteous striving, both were separated from the Father's heart in different ways. One believed he had gone too far to be welcomed home. The other believed he could earn what could only b

Love That Crosses the Road Jun 14, 2026 When Jesus was asked, “Who is my neighbor?” He responded with a story that shattered every convenient excuse for withholding compassion. In the parable of the Good Samaritan, the hero everyone expected to help walked by, while the least likely person crossed the road, interrupted his plans, and sacrificed his own time and resources to care for a wounded stranger. The message is as challenging toda

The Hidden Treasure Jun 7, 2026 The Kingdom of God is not a heavy obligation to carry. It is a treasure worth giving everything to possess. In Matthew 13, Jesus compares the Kingdom to a hidden treasure in a field and a pearl of great value. In both stories, the response is the same: joyful surrender. The people who discovered the treasure did not focus on what they were giving up. They focused on what they had found. Yet many o

The 4 Things Killing Your Marriage May 31, 2026 Christian marriage is not primarily about finding the right person. It is about becoming the right person. In a culture that often treats relationships as a means of personal fulfillment, Scripture calls us to something deeper: a life of self-giving love modeled after Christ Himself. Philippians 2 reminds us that Jesus did not grasp for His own advantage but humbled Himself for the sake of others.

Transformed People Transform People May 24, 2026 Real transformation is never cosmetic. It is not behavior management, religious performance, or learning how to sound more spiritual. It is the deep, lifelong work of surrendering every part of our lives to the reign of God. Through the life of Daniel and the vision of Psalm 40, this message confronts the difference between cultural Christianity and genuine Kingdom formation. Daniel’s public witne

What’s Holding Your House Together? May 17, 2026 God’s design for the family was never built around performance, busyness, or survival mode. From the beginning, He intended that the home would be centered on His presence, shaped by daily discipleship, and built on His foundation. In Luke 10, Martha was distracted and overwhelmed while Mary chose what mattered most: the presence of Jesus. That tension still exists in families today. We can fill o

A Faithful Life Still Speaks May 10, 2026 In a world obsessed with visibility, platform, and recognition, Scripture reminds us that God deeply honors steadfast faithfulness. From the women who followed Jesus throughout His ministry to Mary Magdalene standing near the cross when others fled, we see a picture of quiet strength, enduring devotion, and unwavering love. These women were not chasing influence, they were simply faithful to stay

Real Men Rebuild May 3, 2026 A godly man does not look at what is broken and walk away; he carries the burden to rebuild it. In Nehemiah 1, we see a man who refused to stay detached from the pain of his people. When he heard that Jerusalem’s walls were in ruins, he did not strategize first; he wept, fasted, and prayed. Before he ever led with action, he led with surrender. This message reminds us that real spiritual leadershi

When Obedience Doesn’t Make Sense Apr 19, 2026 Faith is not a response to what we see; it is a decision we make before we see anything at all. Hebrews 11 reminds us that faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see, and that without it, it is impossible to please God. From the Red Sea to the walls of Jericho, Scripture shows us a consistent pattern: God calls His people to move before the miracle happens. When

Faith Before the Full Picture Apr 12, 2026 Faith is not certainty about outcomes; it is a fixed focus on the Father before you have the full picture. Hebrews 11 reframes faith not as wishful thinking, but as assurance, a settled confidence, a title deed to what we cannot yet see. Noah did not build the ark because he had proof. He built it because he trusted the voice of God in a world that had never even seen rain. Surrounded by corruptio

When Doubt is the Doorway Apr 5, 2026 Doubt is often treated like failure, something to hide or overcome as quickly as possible. But in John 20, we see a different picture. The disciples were locked in fear when Jesus came to them, offering peace in the middle of uncertainty. And Thomas voiced the doubts others were likely feeling. Yet Jesus didn’t rebuke him or push him away. He met him. He invited him closer. He revealed Himself mor

Don’t Miss Your Moment Mar 29, 2026 Palm Sunday reminds us that it’s possible to be close to Jesus and still miss Him. As He entered Jerusalem, the crowds shouted praise, declaring Him King, while the Pharisees resisted and the city itself remained blind. In Luke 19, Jesus doesn’t just receive worship. He weeps. Because while people were celebrating what He had done, they failed to recognize who He truly was. They wanted a Savior on

A Witness Worth Following Feb 22, 2026 In a culture fueled by outrage, algorithms, and ragebait, Jesus shows us a different way to live, and a different way to witness. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us that our battle is not against flesh and blood, yet so much of our online and offline behavior suggests otherwise. While the world monetizes anger and rewards division, Scripture calls us away from stirring up conflict and toward embodying Chri

Greatness Goes Low Feb 15, 2026 Jesus knew exactly who He was. John 13 tells us that He understood His authority, His origin, and His destiny. He had come from God and was returning to God. And it was from that place of security that He knelt and washed feet. The King of Glory stooped. The One worthy of eternal praise wrapped Himself in a towel. This message reminded us that biblical greatness is not measured by platform, visibi

Identity Crisis Feb 8, 2026 In a world overwhelmed by self-definition and shifting truths, this message with Abdu Murray exposes the deep identity confusion plaguing our culture, and how the gospel answers it. Drawing from his background in law and apologetics, Abdu reveals how today’s identity crisis stems not from a lack of options, but from too many counterfeit paths that fail to satisfy our longing to belong. Whether it’

Vision Sunday Feb 1, 2026 Throughout Scripture, God’s people marked moments of divine provision with physical reminders so that future generations would remember God's faithfulness. In Joshua 4, after crossing the Jordan, Israel was told to set up stones as a permanent testimony. Not to celebrate themselves, but to declare, “The Lord did this.” Vision Sunday is our version of that moment. This message celebrated what

The Measure of Maturity Jan 25, 2026 This message challenged the myth that spiritual maturity is measured solely by knowledge. Drawing from Paul’s letters to the Corinthians, we were reminded that love, not gifting, eloquence, or Bible literacy, is the true evidence of Christlikeness. Jesus didn’t just know Scripture; He embodied it, proclaiming good news to the poor and freedom to the oppressed. That same Word must move beyond our e

From Crowds to Community: Where Formation Really Happens Jan 18, 2026 Following Jesus isn’t formed in crowds alone. It’s shaped through proximity, vulnerability, and life lived together in community. This message invited our church to reconsider where and how true spiritual growth happens. While large gatherings and sermons are essential, Scripture reveals that the deepest transformation has always taken place in smaller, personal spaces, around tables, in homes, an

From Intimacy, Not Activity Jan 11, 2026 Jesus didn’t pray to perform. He prayed to align Himself with the Father’s will. Over and over, we see Him slip away from crowds, chaos, and even His closest friends to talk with the Father. Prayer wasn’t a discipline He sprinkled into His life; it was the foundation of His life. From the desert to the mountaintop, from the garden to the cross, Jesus showed us what it means to live from intimacy,

Forgiven But Still Stuck Jan 4, 2026 While 63% of Americans identify as Christian, only 4% actually live as disciples whose faith shapes their daily decisions. That means many are calling Jesus Savior, but few are following Him as Lord. This week marks the beginning of a series designed to reintroduce us to the habits of Jesus, not as religious tasks, but as the pathway to genuine transformation. When a rabbi said “follow me,” it mea

Faithful Without The Finish Dec 28, 2025 Some conversations don’t end in a breakthrough. But that doesn’t mean they’re wasted. In Acts 25–26, Paul finds himself standing before King Agrippa. Surrounded by power, politics, and skepticism, Paul doesn’t flinch. He doesn’t pull back. He shares the gospel with clarity and compassion, even though Agrippa walks away unmoved. Why? Because Paul understood that the outcome is God’s job. Ours is to

When Joy Broke Through Dec 21, 2025 For centuries, God was silent. The world groaned under fear, emptiness, and disappointment. Herod ruled with paranoia. Rome ruled with power, and hope felt like fiction. But then, joy broke through. Matthew 2 tells us the story of the Magi, seekers from the east, whose joy began not with arrival but with longing. When they finally encountered Jesus face to face, joy exploded. And that joy didn’t j

Peace in the Chaos Dec 14, 2025 When the angel announced Jesus’ birth to the shepherds, the world was anything but peaceful. Rome was ruled by violence. God had been silent for 400 years. And the people of Israel were weary with waiting. Yet into that very darkness came a declaration: “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy.” But notice that Jesus didn’t come to bring peace to the world as a condition. He came as p

When God Seems Silent Dec 7, 2025 Simeon waited, not for days or months, but likely for decades. Rome occupied his homeland. God's voice felt distant. Yet Simeon clung to a promise: he would see the Messiah before he died. And then, one day, Jesus was placed in his arms. His waiting wasn’t wasted. God’s silence was not His absence. It never is. In seasons when heaven feels quiet and prayers go unanswered, the temptation is to

Hard Questions. Real Answers. Nov 30, 2025 This week, we didn’t preach a sermon; we hosted a conversation. Apologist and author Abdu Murray joined us live to tackle some of the most pressing, complex, and emotionally charged questions facing followers of Jesus today. From gender ideology to unanswered prayer, from Islamic extremism to spiritual deception, Abdu brought biblical clarity, cultural wisdom, and a posture of grace. He reminded u

Hierarchy or Harmony: Why Can’t the Church Agree on Women in Leadership? Nov 16, 2025 Few topics create more confusion and division in the Church than this one. Why does one church celebrate women leading and preaching, while another says it’s forbidden? And more importantly, what does Scripture actually say? This week, we’re leaning into both the tension and the truth. From Genesis to Revelation, God never designed hierarchy; He designed harmony. Yes, there are difficult verses. B

Money is ________ Nov 2, 2025 Let’s be honest, when it comes to giving, most people wrestle with the same tension: “Why should I give part of my income to the church when I already feel stretched thin?” Between debt, bills, hobbies, and the pull to upgrade our lives, generosity can feel impossible or even optional. But Scripture paints a different picture. From the tithe of Abraham to the generosity of the early church, giving

Broken Isn't The End Oct 26, 2025 Brokenness isn’t the end of your story; it’s where God begins. In 1 Kings 17, Elijah finds himself in a famine, a widow faces starvation, and a boy dies unexpectedly. But in every moment of desperation, God moves. He provides when the jar is empty. He heals when hope seems gone. And He speaks, not through fire or thunder, but in a whisper. Over and over, we see the thread: when life falls apart, G

Build Your Life Oct 19, 2025 You’re building your life on something. The question is, will it hold when the storm hits? Jesus said those who build on His words are like wise builders who dig deep and anchor their lives to the Rock. Everything else? Sand. This message is a call back to the foundation: Christ alone. We build our lives on His love, not our performance. On His Word, not our emotions. On His trustworthiness, not o

Worship in the Storm Oct 12, 2025 Peace doesn’t come from the absence of storms; it comes from the presence of Jesus. In Mark 4, the disciples found themselves overwhelmed by chaos, drowning in fear, and questioning whether God even cared. But while the storm raged, Jesus was sleeping, not because He was distant, but because He was in control. And when they cried out, He spoke one word: “Peace.” The wind died down. The waves grew

Thirsty But Never Satisfied Oct 5, 2025 Every one of us is thirsty for something. We chase success, people, and possessions—hoping they’ll fill the ache in our soul. But no matter how much we drink, it’s never enough. That’s because our souls weren’t designed for substitutes. They were designed for Jesus. Psalm 63 says, “I thirst for You… my whole being longs for You.” And in John 4, Jesus tells us that only His living water can truly s

Forward in Purpose & Impact Sep 28, 2025 The Kingdom of God doesn’t advance by consumers—it advances by co-laborers. You weren’t created just to show up—you were designed to make an impact. Every person has a unique role to play in the mission of God, and when we step into that role, the Church becomes more than a building—it becomes a movement. From serving on a team to leading a group to using your gifts to build up others, impact isn’

Forward in Freedom Sep 21, 2025 Freedom isn’t just a personal breakthrough; it’s a shared journey. In Hebrews 10, we’re reminded that spiritual growth was never meant to happen in isolation. Freedom grows when we move forward together. That’s why groups matter. That’s why relationships matter. And that’s why so many people at CCC have found real healing, accountability, and breakthrough the moment they stopped walking alone. Whe

Lives Over Labels Sep 14, 2025 In a culture steeped in outrage, vengeance, and blame, the way of Jesus is radically different. Romans 12:21 calls us to overcome evil, not by returning it, but by confronting it with goodness. Jesus didn’t respond to betrayal with bitterness. He didn’t meet violence with retaliation. He loved His enemies, prayed for His persecutors, and forgave those who didn’t even ask. That’s not weakness. It’s

Forward in Faith Sep 7, 2025 Church isn’t just something we attend; it’s a movement we join. In this launch to our Forward series, we’re calling our church family to reimagine Sunday morning as more than a service. It’s the place where stories change, hearts open, and lives are transformed by the power of Jesus. From skeptics to stalled believers, from families to mature disciples, everyone belongs here. But the Word only tra

Am I Doing This Right? Aug 31, 2025 So many believers live stuck in a cycle of self-effort, shame, and uncertainty, trying hard to be “good Christians” while quietly asking, Am I doing this right? But willpower was never the path to transformation. That’s the good news of Romans 8. We’ve been set free, not to strive harder, but to walk in step with the Spirit. There’s no condemnation for those in Christ, because the Spirit leads us

Fight the Right Fight Aug 24, 2025 You can’t win a spiritual battle with natural weapons. That’s why Paul doesn’t just tell us to stand; he tells us how. Last week, we suited up with truth, righteousness, and peace. This week, we finish the armor: the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, the sword of the Spirit, and the power of prayer. Why? Because the enemy’s strategy is subtle: whispers of fear, lies, condemnation, distract

The Armor of God: How to Stand Firm in a Chaotic World Aug 17, 2025 Do you ever find yourself constantly agitated, on edge, or easily frustrated by the people and circumstances around you? It often feels like we're in a constant fight, but what if we've misidentified the real enemy? In this message, we dive into Ephesians 6 to uncover the true nature of our spiritual battle. Learn how to stop fighting against flesh and blood and start preparing for the

God's Blueprint For Family Aug 10, 2025 Life can often feel like walking a tightrope, especially when it comes to raising a family. How do we stay balanced when the unpredictable winds of adversity, trials, and temptation begin to blow? God provides the plan in His Word. Join us for this message with Joy Gruits, as we unpack the powerful and practical instructions for parents and children found in Ephesians 6. This sermon offers a guid

The Secret to a Lasting Marriage Aug 3, 2025 Have you ever struggled with the Bible's teachings on marriage? The passage in Ephesians 5 is often seen as controversial, but what if we've been starting in the wrong place all along? Join us as we explore how this single verse transforms our understanding of relationships. Learn what it truly means to be a "servant leader" and how the model of Christ's sacrificial love

You Were Made for More Jul 27, 2025 You weren’t made to blend in. You were made to reflect the image of the One who called you. But let’s be honest, those who know better don’t always do better. That’s why Paul urges us to imitate God, not culture. To live as children of light in a world clouded by confusion, compromise, and counterfeit love. That means no more double lives, no more excuse-making, and no more flirting with darkness.

Put Off Your Old Self Jul 20, 2025 Transformation isn’t just about what God takes off of you. It’s about what He builds in you. In Ephesians 4, Paul makes it clear: you can’t walk in newness while clinging to what’s old. The habits, the mindsets, the speech, the bitterness…it all has to go. This isn’t behavior modification. It’s a spiritual renovation. You’ve been called to put off the old self and to be renewed in the spirit of yo

Walk Worthy! Jul 13, 2025 Salvation is a gift. Maturity is a response. In Ephesians 4, Paul turns the corner from identity to responsibility, urging us to walk in a manner worthy of the calling we’ve received. But this isn’t a call to strive. It’s a call to live surrendered. That means choosing humility in a culture of pride, choosing patience in a culture of hurry, and choosing unity when division is easier. It means refu

Reconstructive Love Jul 6, 2025 The love of Christ isn’t soft and sentimental. It’s not therapeutic moralism wrapped in Christian language. Paul knew that. From a Roman prison cell, he didn’t pray for comfort; he prayed for transformation. In this passage, we’re not given a warm devotional. We’re handed a blueprint for transformation. And at the center is the love of Christ. But His love is not the kind the world defines. This l

Grace for Purpose Jun 29, 2025 God didn’t just save you to forgive your past. He saved you to unleash your purpose. In Ephesians 3, Paul unpacks the mystery of the gospel: that every barrier separating people from God (and each other) has been torn down through Jesus. And now, the riches of Christ belong to all who believe. But this grace doesn’t just cleanse; it commissions. Paul knew that firsthand. Though he saw himself as t

Belong & Build Jun 22, 2025 You were once far off, excluded, cut off, and without hope. But now, through the blood of Jesus, you’ve been brought near. Ephesians 2 reveals that the dividing wall of hostility has been torn down, not just between people and God, but between people and each other. There are no second-class citizens in the Kingdom. In Christ, we are one family, one temple, one dwelling where God’s Spirit lives. S

Made Alive Jun 15, 2025 You weren’t bad and got better. You were dead and got raised. That’s the radical mercy of God. Ephesians 2 tells the truth: we were all stuck, broken, and deserving of wrath. But God, rich in mercy, overflowing in love, made us alive with Christ. Salvation isn’t behavior modification. It’s resurrection. You’ve been raised, seated, and set apart to walk in the good works God prepared in advance. An

Unlock What's Already Yours Jun 8, 2025 Most believers live like they’re waiting for something more: more clarity, more purpose, more strength. But Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 1 reminds us that in Christ, we already have everything we need: hope that anchors, value that can’t be stolen, and resurrection power that raises dead things to life. The problem isn’t what we lack, it’s what we’ve failed to access. So Paul prays, “Open the eyes o

You Are Not Who You Think You Are Jun 1, 2025 When your identity is built on anything you can lose (success, status, relationships) it will always be fragile. But Ephesians 1 reveals a better foundation. Before you did anything, God chose, adopted, redeemed, and sealed you by His Spirit. You’re not an orphan trying to earn love. You’re a son or daughter marked by grace. In a world selling insecurity and self-promotion, this passage anchors yo

I AM the Good Shepherd. May 26, 2025 Jesus didn’t say He was a teacher of goodness or a model of kindness. He said, “I am the good shepherd.” In a world full of hirelings, noise, and counterfeit leaders, He stands alone as the One who knows His sheep by name, leads them with love, and lays down His life for their sake. This Memorial Day weekend, we remember those who gave their lives for our freedom, and we look to the One who gave H

Practicing the Way May 18, 2025 God is moving in powerful ways through the next generation. We celebrated it loud and proud! Honor the Grad Sunday, a full Youth and Kids Takeover Service where students will lead worship, share testimonies, and show us what it looks like to live with bold faith in their everyday lives. As part of this special day, we honored our High School Seniors, celebrating all they’ve accomplished and prayi

I AM the Door. May 11, 2025 In a culture that celebrates open-mindedness and endless spiritual options, the claim of Jesus is strikingly clear: “I am the door.” Not a door. The door. The only access point to salvation, to eternal life, and to joy that doesn’t fade. Religion can’t save us. Good works can’t unlock eternity. The door to Eden was closed by sin, and only Jesus can open what we lost. This Mother’s Day, we’ll explo

I AM the Way, Truth, & Life May 4, 2025 In a world that tells us truth is personal, identity is fluid, and every path leads somewhere good, Jesus makes the most exclusive and liberating claim in human history: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” He’s not just one of many voices. He is the voice. This isn’t about religion or spiritual options. It’s about a Person who redefines what is

I AM the True Vine. Apr 27, 2025 We live in a world that pushes performance, hustle, and burnout. But Jesus offers something better: connection. That’s why He said, “I am the vine; you are the branches.” Real life doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from staying close to Him. If you’re tired, tangled, or spiritually dry, this message is for you. It’s time to get reconnected.

I AM the Resurrection & the Life - Easter Sunday Apr 20, 2025 When Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life,” He wasn’t pointing to an event. He was pointing to Himself. This Easter, come experience the power that still raises the dead and changes everything.

I AM the Light of the World. Apr 13, 2025 In a culture full of confusion, compromise, and chaos, it’s easy to lose your way. But Jesus didn’t just expose darkness, He overcame it. When He declared, “I am the light of the world,” He was giving us more than hope. He was giving us direction. This Palm Sunday, we’re stepping out of the shadows and into the light that leads to life.

I AM the Bread of Life. Apr 7, 2025 You’re feeding your life with something—achievement, approval, distraction, or comfort—but it never satisfies. Jesus didn’t come to offer a temporary fix; He came to be the source of lasting fulfillment. When He said, “I am the bread of life,” He was offering the only thing that can truly satisfy your soul. This Sunday, come hungry for more than religion. Come ready to be filled.

I Have Decided. Mar 30, 2025 Join us for a beautiful baptism celebration! As we witness individuals take this step of faith, we are reminded of the incredible truth found in Acts 11—that salvation is not just for a select few but for everyone who believes. The gospel of Jesus Christ is for both Jews and Gentiles, for every nation and every heart ready to receive Him. Through baptism, we declare the death of the old self and t

Why Are Some Things In Me So Hard To Change? Jan 26, 2025 As we wrap up our "Reboot" series, we’ll confront the deeper reasons why some habits are so difficult to break. Whether it’s because they’ve been with us for so long, they feel like part of our identity, they offer a temporary payoff, or the enemy’s discouragement is at work, these patterns don’t have to define us. True transformation comes through renewing our thoughts and attitudes in

How to Love People Oct 20, 2024 PT focuses on the "royal law" of love from James 2 and explores how showing favoritism contradicts this fundamental principle.
