Christ Community Church Message Podcast

Lead Minister Mark Ashton answers your questions.

Humility is our only Hope — and humility is not just a concept or a character trait, humility is FULLY EMBODIED in a person and HIS NAME IS JESUS!

Whatever happens, conduct yourself in a manner worthy of the gospel.

In times of uncertainty, people always want to predict the future. Especially when stocks are down, jobs are lost, health could be in a crisis.

Many people feel imprisoned by the quarantine. It really is a kind of a house arrest. You are not able to see the grandkids. You can’t hang out with your buds from school. Movie theaters and church and sport events are cancelled. It is a kind of a prison.

Paul’s thankful prayer for renewing the mind.

When God interrupts, he interrupts your selfishness, your self sufficiency, your self aggrandizement. He interrupts your petty dreams and your past abuses and your old dysfunctions. He interrupts your bad ways of thinking and your unhealthy relationships. He interrupts to put you on a new path… a path of joy, of relationships, of supernatural connection with him.

You can’t do it. No morality is strong enough to break the back of death. Only Jesus is. Only Jesus takes the broken pieces of our dead bodies and our dead morality and breathes his life into us – giving us a new body and a new soul.

This world is not the way it was meant to be. God did not design us for wars. He did not design us for sneaking around and telling lies. He didn’t design us for abuse. For betrayal. For selling little girls into slavery to do unspeakable things. He didn’t design us for disease either.

Hope is the confident expectation of God making good on his promises.

Peace is not based on coping mechanisms, or happy circumstances, it is found in Jesus.

We're facing a pandemic like never before, but how does a Christian respond? Here are 10 biblical responses to the COVID-19.

Prayer is the primary work of God’s people. We believe that nothing of lasting value can be done unless it is bathed in prayer.

The best thing that you can do for your kids is to begin with Loving God yourself. Not just in a perfunctory way, but in a way that seeps deep into your heart.

In an INDIVIDUALIZED world we PRIVATIZE our relationship with Jesus and we could try to blame culture, but where does the responsibility actually lie?

On the right, people declare, “We are pro-baby! We defend and represent the smallest and most vulnerable sector of society!” On the left, people call out, “We are pro-women! We defend and represent the poorest and most vulnerable sector of our society!” Oftentimes, they talk past each other. Might we consider the way of Jesus—a way that is pro-baby, pro-women, pro-forgiveness, pro-healing, pro-science, pro-truth, pro-justice and pro-redemption?

What does the Bible teach about LGBTQ, pro-marital cohabitation and other questions we have about sexuality?

How to give our attention to our relationships with God and others in spite of the draw from our screens.

Christians have tried for many years to bring the Kingdom of God through a local government—and it has NEVER gone well, not once in history. Jesus never came to establish or control a government. He came to take control of the human heart.
