In one week it will be Easter Sunday: a celebration of life and victory. But before the empty tomb, there was a cross and death; and before that, there was another key character in the Easter story that is worth looking at: Pilate. And as we study the role he played in the Mystery on Skull Mountain and what he is most remembered for, it can prompt …

What's the point of religion? Is it simply to give comfort to the old and hope to the young? Is it a means of power and control?

In a world that’s completely focused on self, have you ever noticed how unhappy so many people are? It’s almost as though, the more we focus on what we want, the less happy we become.

With the Thanksgiving leftovers still cooling and a holiday of gratitude just behind us, why does it seem that the upcoming Christmas season moves us from a spirit of thankfulness to one or grumbling and frustration?

One thing that creates a common bond between all of humanity is we all have a need to breathe. Every day we respire thousands of times - breathing in and out. But where does the ability to breathe come from? Who put the breath inside us in the first place? How can we breathe in a way that brings us life as we’ve never experienced it before?…

One of the most mysterious aspects of following Jesus is learning there is a Holy Ghost that comes and lives inside of us.

Can you remember a time when you felt confident because someone was with you? 2. …

Following Jesus is a paradox. On one hand we come to church looking for something to fill us up, but on the other hand, the more we allow Jesus to fill us up, the more we’re invited to stop focusing on ourselves. The gravitational pull in life is always toward meeting our own needs, but in an interesting twist, Jesus invites to meet our needs by lo…

More people know about Jesus than about anyone else in the history of the world. Knowing about a person, however, is vastly different than actually knowing a person - and there’s the rub. Jesus didn’t invite his followers to simply know about him; he invited them to recognize something special about him that has the power to transform lives.…

To paraphrase the catchphrase of a cartoon many of us watched as kids: "knowing is half the battle." Knowing and learning is great, especially when it comes to what the Bible teaches us, but if we don't do anything practical with what we learn, that knowledge doesn't have a whole lot of value. Today we are not only going to spend some extra time in…

Parenting is one of the few things that helps uncover just how selfish we are as people. In the epic clash of egos between parents and kids, the temptation of parents is to dominate over their kids and push them into becoming what the parents want them to be. But what if there’s a better way to parent? What discovery would we make if we could get o…

As much as most parents want to be good parents, we all bump up against the reality that we’ve not always been good people. It’s because we’ve not always been good people that we have pieces from our past that we carry with us into our present. The thing all parents need to wrestle with is how they’ll handle who they’ve been and the pieces of their…

The needs of our kids are often changing, which means we need to change our parenting often, as well. But with all the changes our kids go through, how do we know if we’re still being good parents? Is it possible to create a constant focus in parenting that will allow us to be better parents regardless of the change around us? If so, what would tha…

Few people are adequately prepared for parenthood. In fact, the most important role you may ever have in life often comes with the least amount of training and preparation. It’s no one wonder so many parents feel overwhelmed when they take that new life home from the hospital, and it’s no wonder so many kids grow up thinking, “I could be a better p…

Sometimes mountaintops don't meet our expectations. When we finally get where we were planning to go and what we worked hard at doing, sometimes the expectation of what it would be like doesn't quite match the actual experience. What do we do when we arrive at our mountaintop - disappointed that it wasn’t quite what we expected? The answer may surp…

The human experience so often feels like a competition. We compare ourselves with others and constantly use certain lenses to disqualify ourselves, or justify ourselves by disqualifying others. We will learn how the same four lenses we tend to use today have always been in use, even in Jesus' day. We will learn how to overcome those lenses in order…

Experiencing God feels like a bit of a mystery. Though most people have had moments of awareness of the divine, often we’re not sure how to get those moments back; we don’t know how to find God’s presence in the day to day moments of life. This summer, Community Church is offering opportunities for finding those sacred spaces - where daily life mee…

Have you ever noticed how children can fully trust their parents when it comes to certain areas of their lives but not with all areas?

But sometimes in th…

Instant gratification is a hallmark of American life. Whether it’s with fast food restaurants, Amazon Prime 2-day shipping, or getting an immediate response to a text message, there’s an expectation in our culture that everything should be quick and easy. But what about when life isn’t quick or easy? What about when difficulty and strife interrupt?…

"God isn't concerned with you being happy; He's concerned with you being holy." That phrase is echoed throughout churches in America while church-goers are faced with a difficult decision: "Do I want to be happy, or do I want to be holy?" But what if happiness and holiness aren't on opposite ends of the spectrum after all? What if happiness and hol…

One of the universal pursuits of humanity is happiness. We all want to be happy, and everywhere we turn, someone or something is offering happiness to us by buying a product, taking a dream vacation, or finding the love of our life. So why is it that, in a world with so many options for happiness, few people have discovered the secret? Why are all …

“Wherever I go, there I am.” That’s not a particularly profound statement when you first hear it, but when we spend time considering its implications, we begin to understand the significant role we play in our own lives. If I’m the one who is always present, then it means I was there for my worst decisions, my regrettable mistakes, and my relationa…

Isn't it true that so often in our life we resist certain things even though we know it could make our lives better? Usually they are things like eating healthier and getting more exercise, but it also can be true when it comes to God and keeping Him at the center of our lives. As we look towards celebrating Easter in a few weeks, we are looking at…

Have you ever been mislabeled? Maybe someone made a snap judgement about you, and it was categorically wrong? Or maybe you’ve been trying to overcome a label that was true in your past but isn’t true in your present? Regardless, even though labels can be helpful, improperly applied labels have the power to devalue us and create strain in our relati…
