THE Sermon Series: The Sermon on Kingdom Mission
November 30, 2025 - December 28, 2025
This is the second of five sermons recorded in the Gospel of Matthew. Just as Jesus is God incarnate, revealing who God really is, so we are sent on mission to be Jesus incarnate, revealing who Jesus really is. These instructions to the disciples are to do the same ministry that Jesus has been doing, in the same manner that he has been doing it.
THE Sermon Series: The Sermon on Kingdom Life
October 5, 2025 - November 23, 2025
Jesus preaches five sermons in the Gospel of Matthew. This is THE Sermon Series - the greatest ever preached. Each sermon focuses on an aspect of the kingdom of heaven. This first message, The Sermon on Kingdom Life, describes who will and how to live in the kingdom of heaven. This sermon is Matthew 5-7, aka “The Sermon on the Mount.”
Mega-stuffed life
September 7, 2025 - September 28, 2025
Paul tells us to “make the most of the time”, but we instead just try to pack our schedules indiscriminately . This leaves us with lives are overwhelmed with filler and often lacking substance. This series, focusing on Ephesians 5-6, will ask us to revaluate our calendars in light of kingdom priorities.
SPIRITUAL STRENGTH TRAINING
August 3, 2025 - August 31, 2025
Strength training doesn’t create new muscles; it strengthens our existing ones. We will conduct our own Spiritual Strength Training. We hope to strengthen our existing understanding of five key Christian concepts - the Sacraments, the Trinity, the Incarnation, The Church, and The Cross.
SUMMER LOVE
June 1, 2025 - July 27, 2025
Summer always seems like a great time for falling in love. This summer, we’ll talk about a love deeper than mere romance - the agape of God. We’ll read together through the first letter of John. 1 John is overwhelmingly focused on the concept of love, and how it defines the Christian experience.
AN INTERRUPTIBLE LIFE
April 27, 2025 - May 25, 2025
In our busy lives, interruptions take us off task or away from our priorities. But strikingly, SO much of Jesus’ ministry was interruptions. We guard our time jealously. Jesus seemed to recognize that God’s work for him emerged from those interruptions and not despite them. Are we equally interruptible?
εξουσια: SEEING AUTHORITY FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES
September 8, 2024 - April 20, 2025
Being a Christian isn’t about giving up our agency, our intellect or our choices. God’s design from the beginning is that we would have authority (in Greek, εξουσια). This authority operates in layers - I have authority over others, and some others have authority over me, and Christ has the supreme authority in my life. This will be our major focus this year.
SUMMER SERIES 2024
April 7, 2024 - September 1, 2024
The Summer of 2025 included four series: “Cultivating Maturity: The 5 Shifts”; “The Loneliness Epidemic”; “Jonah, the Upside Down Prophet”; and “New Heavens, New Earth”
o.g.: tHE oRIGINAL gOSPEL
September 10, 2023 - June of 2024
Mark represents the brilliant invention of a genre, taking apostolic teaching, passion narrative and individual traditions and connecting it all as a coherent whole, while editing it to create themes and structure. It was also the first Gospel written… the “O.G.”
United:
a study of 1 corinthians
June 11 - September 3, 2023
1 Corinthians, Paul’s letter to a church in Corinth, was written to a church that was fighting and arguing about many topics, and so Paul called them to consider what it means to be United in Christ.
in the beginning:
Foundations of faith
September 11, 2022 - May 28, 2023
The word of God begins like this: "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." Of all the foundational concepts in the Book of Genesis, this is surely the most important. All our understanding of God begins with this key idea; God created everything. Genesis establishes the core ideas upon which the entire story of Jesus is built. Our study of this book will open our eyes to the amazing plan of the Lord and our role within it.
2022 summer services
May 22, 2022 - September 4, 2022
During Pastor Jim Gates’ sabbatical, we were so blessed to have Jess Wakefield serve our church as Interim Head of Staff, as well as provide much of our spiritual leadership on Sunday mornings. We also had the privilege of hearing from Dan Frost, Jay St. Clair, and Amanda Fuls over the summer!
Vision
September 12, 2021 - May 15, 2022
Life without vision – without a picture of a future hope given by God – leaves us rudderless. Without vision, we live our lives like pinballs, bouncing from one crisis to the next, always reacting and never acting. Vision gives us direction, and courage to trust God’s good plan even when it seems delayed or impossible. In this season of our church, perhaps nothing is more critical than discerning the vision of Christ, and then following that vision courageously into the world.
WE THREE KINGS
May 31, 2021 - September 5, 2021
Join us this summer as we discuss the three kings of the United Kingdom of Israel - Saul, David, and Solomon. It is incredible that throughout the history of the kingdom of Israel, only these three men ruled all twelve tribes as king. In June, July and August, we will dive into each of their stories respectively, and explore how they point us towards and away from King Jesus.
forward
September 13, 2020 - May 23, 2020
Philippians 3:13-14 says, “Forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus.” How do we move FORWARD? Forward from the past to the future? Forward from indulgence to commitment? Forward from me to we? Forward from brokenness to wholeness? Forward from comfortable to awakened? Forward from believers to disciples?
return from exile
July 5, 2020 - August 30, 2020
This summer we will focus on the Book of Ezra. As we return to church, it feels like returning from the Babylonian Exile! But like the Exile, our time away was not entirely bad – it reminded us that our faith is about more than what happens in our building (Church on Your Street, etc.) and that we needed to own the responsibility of our faith, rather than leaving it with the priests and the building.
Unifinished
September 8, 2019-June 28, 2020
Acts is the powerful story of an unfinished Spirit-led community, striving to do the next right thing. Today, we want to live into that same identity; we don’t know all the answers, or even the final picture of who we will become in the ongoing revelation of Jesus Christ. Like the first Christians, we are beautifully unfinished. But we are committed to doing the next right thing, and the next, and the next, as the Spirit leads us.
Do-overs
September 1, 2019
The extraordinary promise of Jesus Christ is that we get second chances. In 2 Corinthians 5:14-21, Paul reminds us that we are new creations in Christ. In other words, we get the opportunity for do-overs in the area of our life that matters the most - our relationship with God.
Reaching out
August 25, 2019
Dennis Mannering preaches from Psalm 71:1-6, Jeremiah 1:4-10 and Luke 13:10-17. The message is "Reaching Out."
The book of jude
August 4 - August 18, 2019
Some books of the Bible are "flyover books." Jude is one such book. We will spend the next three weeks reading through the entire book of Jude (don't worry, it's just one chapter long) and reflecting on the message of this man who was the literal half-brother of Jesus.
Our great soil
July 28, 2019
Our faith family, facilities and ministries are amazingly fertile ground for the love of Christ to grow and feed others. In this sermon, we focus our eyes and hearts on how blessed we are at CCPC. Blessed to have incredible people to connect with, a spectacular space to connect in, and amazing ministries to connect others to God's love.
SUMMER ROADTRIP
June - July 2019
Summer road trips are the stuff of family legends. Nothing builds great memories like driving hundreds of miles in a hot minivan while the kids fight in the backseat … right? This June and July, our sermon series will dive into this topic with the ultimate Biblical road trip - Israel’s journey from Egypt to Canaan.
PRA•X•IS: tHE EXPERIMENT
September, 2018 - June, 2019
We invite you to commit to five spiritual practices using specific tools over the course of a year, and to evaluate how those practices affect the spiritual journey. If we commit to these practices, our relationships with Jesus Christ and with one another will be radically and eternally transformed.
