Is This The End?
By some accounts, ancient civilizations in the Americas predicted that December 21, 2012 would be an incredibly significant day – either of powerful transformation, or cataclysmic disaster. The “2012 Phenomenon,” as it has come to be known, has found its way into books, TV programs, the internet, and more. It formed the basis for a popular movie – “2012” – that came out a couple of years ago. But what does the Bible have to say? What does Jesus tell us about the end times? In this series, we’ll explore various ideas found in...
read moreUnder the Bethlehem Star
When the town of Bethlehem is mentioned, usually we think of the birth of Jesus, with Mary, Joseph, shepherds, and angels. We think of wise men following a star to find and worship the newborn King. And yes, that is the most important Biblical story associated with Bethlehem. However, there is another, found in the Old Testament book of Ruth. The story mostly takes place in Bethlehem. It starts out tragically, but as the story progresses, new life is brought forth. Though there is no star in this story, there are other things:...
read morePhilippians: A Joyful Letter from Jail.
As the apostle Paul sat in a Roman jail, about 10 years after he had founded the Christian church in Philippi, he wrote a letter of joy, thankfulness, and encouragement to them. In this 4-week series, we look at what our struggles in today’s world are, and how we might find the Lord’s joy even in tough times. The apostle himself joins us in the first week of this series.

read moreA Thief’s Forgiveness
On Sunday, October 23rd, Irv King shared his testimony. Irv is on the board of our church, has been an elder, and is our church’s “Prison Minister.” He himself spent many years in prison, and it was there that he was saved by Jesus Christ, a journey which he documents in a book he co-wrote with Marolyn Derby called “a Thief’s Forgiveness.” A Thief’s Forgiveness: October 23, 2011 Right Click Download and choose Save Link as. . .

read moreIt’s A Hot Topic (with James Whiteside)
This is a 3-week series on a very hot topic—hell. Ironically, it’s something that’s not talked about much these days in the church, unless it’s a “fire and brimstone” message. We approach it differently in this series, taking an in-depth look at the subject from a Biblical and Christian historical point of view. Among other things, we examine the three major perspectives (eternal torment/separation, annihilationism/conditional immortality, and universal reconciliation/universalism), leading us into related issues on...
read moreOld Testament Challenge: Pursuing Spiritual Authenticity
In this 8-week series, we examine the words of the prophets – Isaiah, Jeremiah, Micah, and more – that continue today to “grab us by our shoulders, and shake us from our slumber. Like a bucket of ice water, they pour over us and shock us with the message that God still speaks and is calling us to radically authentic lives. The prophets address us right where we live and calls us to fresh places of spiritual growth.”* This is Part Four of a larger series. (We did parts 1 & 2 in 2009, and part 3 in 2010.) *This...

read moreArchitecture of Grace
Community Christian has recently completed our expansion and renovation. It’s beautiful! And while worship of God and love of neighbor hardly require bricks and mortar, our building is designed to enhance our church’s mission. It has in it central elements – for example, the baptismal and the communion table – that speak volumes about who we are as Christians, and what God intends for us. This is a 6-week series. Join us as we “take a look around” and see what our building says about God’s grace and our mission. You are...
read moreOne Month to Live
30 days. What if you found out you had only 30 days left on earth. What would you do? Who would you spend time with? Who would you seek forgiveness from, or offer it to? What risks would you take? What legacy would you want to leave? Would your relationship with God change? While the series requires some level of pretending, since most of us are not going to die at the end of 30 days, this really is no game. Whether we have 30 days, 30 weeks, or 30 or more years, life on this earth passes quickly. When we look to the Bible,...
