Meeting Needs / Sharing Christ is a perspective on how an individual and more importantly, a church, views its purpose and ministry in the world. Based on the principles set forth in the book by Donald Atkinson and Charles Roesel, this series of messages challenges the church to get outside the protectives walls of the church and actively touch lives personally at their point of need - because the need is genuine - and then use that experience as an opportunity to introduce that person to Jesus. Follow the progress of these six sermons that invite believers to join God and other believers in Meeting Needs and Sharing Christ.
This series of sermons is an indepth look at a portion of the Sermon On The Mount known as the Beatitudes. These have been referred to as the principles that reflect the behavior of those who follow Christ as believers. Jesus does not make casual suggestions but rather presents strict demands on those who would follow Him - "No Spin." Using the contemporary news program - The O'Reilly Factor - this series looks at how to live an uncompromising life in a compromising world.
Everyone has stress in life . . . in fact stress is an evidence of life. But the problem is how we respond to stress. Using the most well known and beloved Psalm 23, this series looks at how David learned to handle the stress of life by trusting in The Lord as his Shepherd. The principles he learned to live by are just as valid for us today. We too can develop a trusting relationship with Jesus as our Shepherd and live a less stressful life.
Ever feel like you are at a dead end in life . . . or even at a fork in the road with the need to take a different direction from the one you now travel? But which way? Looking at the life of Solomon through the book of Ecclesiastes, we focus on the 'roads' he took and where they led him . . . and the conclusions he formed. Through this series we learn how to find God's direction that leads to a life of meaning and purpose.
Using this variation on the title from a popular television series this series of messages reveal God's strategy for developing healthy families in a broken world. Desperate Households is a series about life, love and marriage; going beneath the surface to consider the struggles that every married couple faces…with life, relationships, everyday struggles, communication, sex and raising kids.
LOST is one of the most popular television programs ever. Finding themselves alone on an unknown island the people must begin to relate to each other and learn what is really important in life. This series is about purpose. God has a plan for each of us. We do not get to determine our circumstances but only how we will live for God . . . whatever the circumstances . . . wherever He places us.
NEW LIGHT / NEW HOPE is the name of the Preaching Ministry of Pastor Carlos Peterson. The series seen here as well as others are available through DVDs or CDs by contacting Christ Community Church by phone or email.
The story of Easter is well known to most people. What is less well known or understood is why the events unfolded as they did - and just as importantly - what these events mean to us who live two-thousand beyond them. The death and resurrection of Jesus were not accidents, nor were they simply, chaoic events beyond anyone's control. Through it all God had a plan. He still does. It's all about that "Third Day."
A 'motto' is an expression of what one believes. Our church motto is 'Changing Lives on Purpose.' This series explores that belief by helping you learn how to become a person of influence by living your life on purpose. The Scriptural basis comes from Matthew 5:13-16 . . . to be 'salt' and 'light.' God challenges us become intentional in our mission to disciple the world, by 'Changing Lives On Purpose.'
What do you struggle with in life? Relationships? Children? Marriage? Money or the lack of it? Job . . . Career . . . Layoffs . . . Downsizing? Or maybe your struggles are much more intense: Truth . . . Authority . . . Purity . . . Integrity . . . or Personal Peace and Contentment. Life is a struggle. And sometimes we can feel as if we are left to handle our struggles alone. But that is not true. The Bible reveals God's involvement in every area of our lives, even, or especially in our struggles. In the Ten Commandments God addresses the greatest struggles we encounter in life. This series will focus on how God helps you overcome the 10 Greatest Struggles Of Your life
Every four years greatest athletes of the world compete each other to determine the best - the true champions of the world - through the event known as the Olympics.
The world celebrates the winners of these sports activities with medals of gold, silver and bronze. But not every winner will prove to be a champion - nor will every champion win a medal. Through this series of messages we will learn what it means to be a champion - from God's perspection - and how to become the person God has envisioned you to be.
With the present economic difficulties facing the country at this time there is a prevailing sense, that not just at the gas tanks, but in other areas of our lives we are 'running on empty.' Sometimes difficulties become crisis moments when we can easily feel overwhelmed with life.
God has a word of encouragement that will help you in these times. Through these timely sermons learn how God's Word can help you to respond rather than react to the crisis moments of your life.
Christmas is a time of traditions. One that is very familiar to most people is the retelling of the journey of George Bailey in It's A Wonderful Life. This series of sermons uses the illustration of this wonderful story to remind us of the meaning of Christmas. Jesus came to give life in all of its fullness. Through these messages we are learning how the coming of Christ gives meaning and purpose to our lives today. It is the story of how Jesus came to give us A Wonderful Life.
From Good To Great is a twelve week series where we are Learning Principles That Will Provide An Opportunity To Fulfill The Highest and Best Purposes God Has For Your Life.
Greatness is not about becoming successful as the world defines it, but focusing on the discovering our purpose in life and living with intentionality to fulfill God's plan in and through us.
The Easter series is a brief look at 'Why Jesus Had To Die' . . . 'Easter is God's Plan' and . . . 'Living Out God's Plan.' Together these three messages reveal the meaning and purpose of Jesus' death and resurrection and what that means for our lives today.
The Lazarus Life is about more than the event of Jesus resurrectung Lazarus from a four day death. It is an illustration of the life Heenvisions for each of us.
We are not created for a 'tomb life' but for a resurrection life. We are to leave the entrapment of the tomb of the past and begin to live the life we are called to experience. Living in the light is the essence of 'The Lazarus Life.'
The world is in a mess. Does anyone doubt this? But the mess does not excuse living in a way that honors God and reflects His glory through us. Using the title from David Jeremiah's latest book, we are going to learn how to face this new year from God's perspective, and live from His Presence in us to reveal His life to a hurting, broken world. Living With Confidence In A Chaotic World looks at First Peter and his letter to the Christians who were facing a chaotic world. Through his letter we learn the basics for living with confidence when everything around us seems to be falling apart. It is challenge for believers today.
This series of messages is entitled WE ARE FAMILY! Over the seven weeks we WORK ON UNDERSTANDING WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A FAMILY And HOW WE CAN BECOME THE FAMILY GOD CALLS US TO BE. There are TWO GOALS during this seriesl: 1) TO DEEPEN THE SENSE Of LOVE And COMMUNITY WITHIN OUR CHURCH; and 2) TO REACH OUT TO THE COMMUNITY AROUND OUR CHURCH. These are demanding times that call us a church to grow in fellowship and relationship as God's Family. Learn what that can mean for you.
WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON? For too many people these words WORLD- VIEW have NO MEANING. . . . BUT in TRUTH WE ALL HAVE A WORLDVIEW. Del Tackett from FOCUS On The FAMILY says, “A worldview is the framework from which we view reality and make sense of the world. It is any ideology, philosophy, theology, movement or religion that provides an overarching approach to understanding God, the world and man’s relations to God and the world.” IS A WORLD VIEW IMPORTANT? Certainly because it incorporates everything we believe, why we believe it, and how it affects how we live. It is important to not just HAVE and UNDERSTAND YOUR WORLDVIEW, But To ALSO DEVELOP a BIBLICAL /CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEW: SEEING LIFE From GOD’S POINT Of VIEW.
God created marriage, family and home to compliment our lives not to destroy us in the process. It is we who have messed up God’s plan . . . His DIVINE DESIGN. The way to restore this most important and most intimate of relationships is to come to understand His intent and purpose in creating the family and begin to take the necessary steps to restore those relationships . . . One Home At A Time. You can have the kind of home God desires if you are willing to follow His design and put into practice the principles He reveals through His Word.
