Community Christian Church

In December of 2021, our very own Keli Hillier entered the hospital with COVID, for what she believed to be an overnight stay. After 115 days in the hospital, 55 days on a ventilator, and 1 round trip to heaven, she returned home with her family. Keli and her daughter Amber share their incredible story, and how God's power, love, and provision are seen through community.

Community is everyone together on the same page, with the same purpose and experiencing the same God. The people of God make a maximum impact when they contribute to the Kingdom of God in unity.

In this message, Pastor Tony teaches that Jesus considered generosity a group effort. Providing for the lowly and desperate is what the church is meant to do. We also review several of our missions efforts we are involved in around the nation and around the world.

During times of adversity, while we are in pain and feeling overwhelmed, it is easy to forget that we are never truly alone. First of all, we have a God that is intimately aware of our struggles and hardships. Jesus suffered alongside mankind as the perfect high priest that can relate with us. And second, God has designed His people to rely on and support each other to face battles of many kinds. No matter we go through, we are in it together.

In this message, Joy Gruits teaches that to slay this giant, that permeates our world so heavily, we must follow the example of Christ, humbling ourselves, so that in the proper time God will restore and exalt us according to His will.

Lust is a twisting or a perversion of desire. Lust is attempting to satisfy the temporal rather than the true wholeness of the eternal. In this message, Pastor Tyler teaches that we must practice power over our desires, rather than be overpowered by them.

Our value is determined by God alone. Greed is a sin that tempts us to always want more and more. But the key to slaying this giant is to practice gratefulness, giftedness, and generosity.

When we hold onto anger or an offense, we give the devil a foothold in our life. In this message, Pastor Chris explores Ephesians 4 and its warning to believers that harbor wrath in their hearts.

When recalling the story of David and Goliath, we are often impressed by God's power and faithfulness in the life of the young shepherd boy. However, it is easy to miss that there are other, more personal, giant that we all must face. In this message, Pastor Tony shows that King Saul failed to face and defeat Envy after David's victory. We must also be wary of how easy it is for envy to invade our hearts.

Most people think they have to be their own source of everything or they rely on another human to be their source for everything. In this message from Pastor Chris, we see that Scripture emphasizes God as our first and final source. He will supply all of our needs according to His power and for His glory.

In this message, Joy Gruits teaches up about the power and strength of God's hand over our lives.

In this message, Pastor Tony reminds us that God is our refuge, our shelter, and the one that walks with us in the midst of our troubles.

The Salvation found in Jesus Christ alone is not just a shortcut to be given eternal life. In this message, Pastor Tyler shows that Jesus has been exalted by God above all things as LORD!

For the conclusion of our series on the greatest sermon every preached, Pastor Tony shares how the message Jesus gave us is meant to become a new and better foundation for our lives. When we build our life upon a kingdom perspective, everything will change.

In this message, Joy Gruits focuses on the importance of knowing the Word of God, so that we may be ready to resist twisted doctrines and deceptive teachers.

According Jesus' own words, only those who pass through the "narrow gate" will have eternal life. In fact, anyone who does not pass through it but rather crosses along the wide path will be brought to destruction. But when we realize that Jesus himself is God's narrow gate, the only way that men can be made righteous and be saved, we must make a choice to surrender our lives to him.

Jesus spoke plainly: we must not judge our neighbor for there is only one Lawgiver and Judge. In this message, Pastor Tyler reminds us that God will expect an account from everyone. But rather than being condemned in our sin, God has poured our grace on us to be redeemed through Christ.

In a world filled with so much doubt and stress, it is easy to worry. But in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus challenged the traditional thinking that God is unconcerned with us. In fact, God considers us precious in His sight, and wants to take care of our needs.

The subject of heaven is not just concerned with eternal life, but also eternal reward! In this message, Joy Gruits reminds us that Jesus emphasized storing up treasures that will last forever, instead of temporarily in this life.

God is way more interested in what’s going on in our hearts than what’s taking place with our outward behavior! When the heart is holy, the hands are holy, and the expression of living is holy. It all begins with the heart.
