Romans: No, the Law Did Not Take Our Life [Romans: 05]

March 24, 2024 15:24 - 29 minutes - 13.5 MB

Romans 7:7-13 // Nathan Miller Some of us, if we’re honest, believe: the rules can save us. If we just follow the right rules, enact the right laws, educate our kids the right ways, we’ll make the good life. And listen: this is true of religious people and nonreligious people. Republicans and democrats. We all try to legislate morality.  Others of us love freedom, and we think our freedom can save us. We don’t want any rules. The good life is found in doing whatever I want, whenev...

Romans: Belonging to Jesus Bears Life [Romans: 04]

March 17, 2024 14:56 - 32 minutes - 15.1 MB

Romans 7:1-6 // Brooks Nesse We all have this desire to belong.  And it's a good desire, it is what we were made for. But what about those times when we don’t feel like we belong? Or what about those times when we are seeking to belong in a place that would not lead to our flourishing. I'm sure many of us have experienced both. But I am sure we have all been there. We were created to belong. Each of these temporary places of belonging have the potential to point us to our ultimate ...

Romans: Eternal Life [Romans: 03]

March 10, 2024 16:13 - 36 minutes - 16.5 MB

Romans 6:15-23 // Jonathan Neef We live in a country and society founded upon the idea that life and happiness are the fruit of freedom. This is different from other countries around the world but we love our freedom. Freedom to be who we want, do what we want, and live however we want. But does our freedom actually give us life and happiness? Today we are going to look at the text from the book of Romans which tells us that grace actually frees us to be slaves to God. And yet it i...

Romans: Offer Your Life to God [Romans: 02]

March 03, 2024 18:10 - 32 minutes - 14.9 MB

Romans 6:12-14 // Brooks Nesse One of the greatest battles of history is not “out there,” but rather, is “in here.” Herein lies a crucial insight as to why following Jesus can be so hard. There is a battle being waged not just with our bodies but in our bodies.  Join us as we continue to see in the book of Romans what Jesus has rescued you and me for, and how we can actually live this out.  SERMON NOTES (YouVersion):  https://bible.com/events/49218277 PRAYER REQUESTS: https://cce...

Romans: Rescued for New Life [Romans: 01]

February 25, 2024 16:44 - 36 minutes - 16.5 MB

Romans 6:1-11 // Jonathan Neef We all love a good rescue story. But what happens after the rescue? Is that the end? Is there any more? Today we are in the book of Romans where the first five chapters have highlighted our need for a rescue. Today, beginning in chapter six, we will see that we were not only rescued from something but that we are rescued for something. Specifically, we have not only been rescued from sin and death but we are rescued for Life. And not just any life but...

But What About Hell? [But What About? 07]

February 18, 2024 16:28 - 38 minutes - 17.8 MB

Matthew 25:31-46 // Nathan Miller Jesus Himself makes it clear. Some will go to heaven. And some will go to hell. At the very thought of that, many of us have issues. Our imaginations have been tainted, but more than that, we really struggle to believe that God could punish evil so severely. I mean, maybe for the really wicked people. But what about my friends at school, work, our neighborhoods? Do we still believe in hell?  Yes. But we have a lot of work to do if we’re going to ...

But What About Suffering? [But What About? 06]

February 11, 2024 18:25 - 36 minutes - 16.9 MB

Psalm 13:1-6; Mark 15:33-39 // Jonathan Neef “I used to go to church and pray, and then my best friend got sick and died… How can I believe in God when that happened?” My friend told me this in 7th grade, and it would be the first but not last time I would hear what I would later learn that theologians and philosophers call “the problem of evil”. Why does an all good and all powerful God permit evil and suffering? While God does not give us an answer to our “why” question, he does...

But What About Christianity & Politics? [But What About?] 05

February 04, 2024 17:03 - 33 minutes - 15.3 MB

Matthew 22:15-22 // Brooks Nesse Wherever you find yourself in this matter of faith and politics, whatever your political leanings, right, left, or somewhere in the middle, the question we need to thoughtfully ask is (Slide) How Should Followers of Jesus Navigate Politics? And let’s be honest, we as followers of Jesus can and do at times fall into some political potholes. This is a big challenge in our contemporary moment, but has also been true throughout the 2000 year history of ...

But what about Christian sexual ethics? (But What About...? 04)

January 29, 2024 16:24 - 33 minutes - 15.2 MB

God cares about what we do with our bodies, including how we handle sex. Because of this Christians have a sex ethic which is often ridiculed by our culture. Culture says that sex is both absolutely everything (our identity factor) and that it means nothing (because it's just physical) all at the same time. Which is it? And how should we approach thinking about sex, beauty, desire, and identity? The fact that we are asking these questions is not a mistake. Join us as we look at what...

But What About Women? [But What About 03]

January 21, 2024 17:12 - 36 minutes - 16.7 MB

Genesis 1:26-28; Luke 10:38-42 // Nathan Miller Regardless of your theological position, or where you land on gender responsibilities within the home and in the church. Regardless, all of us should seek to avoid the mistreatment of women. All of us should seek to empower, develop, and learn from women and protect them from abuse. And if there are distortions of Christianity that have led to harm, we want to expose them for what they are. Distortions. Here’s what we need to remember:...

But What About the Bible? [But What About 02]

January 14, 2024 17:50 - 33 minutes - 15.5 MB

2 Timothy 3:12-17 // Jonathan Neef My hope this morning is to help you see that the Bible is God’s word to you. That the claims of scripture are bold and beautiful and that what God says we must trust and obey. To do that we are going to ask and try to answer three questions: What are the Claims of Scripture? How can I Trust Scripture? Why should I Obey Scripture? There is life in these pages because the Bible is the inspired word of God. Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/event...

But What About the Church? [But What About? 01]

January 12, 2024 18:40 - 30 minutes - 14 MB

Matthew 16:17-19, Ephesians 3:20-21 // Nathan Miller Disagreement, hurt, frustration, and abuse. There are a lot of reasons to dismiss the church, but there may very well be more reasons to give her a second look. What if there is a more enchanting story of the church and Jesus? Join us as we begin a new series exploring some of the sincere questions and frustrations we have with the Christian faith, the “But what about…” questions of faith. Together we may find a both/and rather ...

The Wise Men [Christmas Through the Eyes of Faith 5]

December 31, 2023 16:29 - 34 minutes - 15.6 MB

Matthew 2:1-12 // Brooks Nesse It’s all too easy to skim through the Christmas narrative and miss out on key aspects of that story. The three Wise Men are some of the most misremembered and misunderstood characters of Christmas, and yet their story teaches us a crucial lesson about Christmas and its relevance for life today. Join us as we look at Christmas through the eyes of the Wise Men, and see who is the True King we should worship. Sermon Notes: https://bible.com/events/4918...

Joseph [Christmas Through the Eyes of Faith 4]

December 24, 2023 16:03 - 29 minutes - 13.6 MB

Matthew 1:18-25 // Nathan Miller Christmas wasn’t welcome news to even the faithful…at first. Christmas in many ways disrupts our best laid plans. The question is NOT whether Christmas messes with our lives. The question IS how we show up when Christmas comes into our tidy lives.  Join us as we look over the shoulders of someone who experienced the utter disruption of Christmas and still leaned in. Sermon Notes: https://bible.com/events/49180535 Prayer Requests: https://ccefc.c...

Mary [Christmas Through the Eyes of Faith 3]

December 17, 2023 17:18 - 31 minutes - 14.7 MB

Luke 1:26-45 // Jonathan Neef Why has the Christmas story lasted so long? Mary was a nobody from nowhere with nothing to offer. Her claim of being the mother of God was offensive to others and dangerous to her. Her story of an angel and virgin birth were as unbelievable and even laughable 2000 years ago as they are today. So why has the Christmas story lasted so long?  Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49180497   Prayer Requests: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2...

Zechariah [Christmas Through the Eyes of Faith 2]

December 10, 2023 16:23 - 30 minutes - 14.2 MB

Luke 1:5-25, 55-67 // Jonathan Neef What happens when Christmas is NOT what you thought it would be? You experience pain, loss, and sadness in ways you didn’t want or expect. Today we are going to look at how we see Christmas through the eyes of faith even when Christmas is hard. Specifically, we are going to look at Christmas through the eyes of faith even when we have been disappointed and have our doubts. Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49177441   Prayer Requests: ...

Ruth [Christmas Through the Eyes of Faith 1]

December 03, 2023 16:22 - 38 minutes - 17.7 MB

Ruth 1: 1-22, Matthew 1:5 // Nathan Miller So what’s it about? It’s about a God who so loves outsiders. Who so pursues the people who don’t belong. Who has such a big heart for losers and outcasts, for sinners. For the people we tend to ignore or despise. A God who has so much love. That even a Moabitess from Moab can find a home. A place to belong. And Jesus was also an outsider! He left His home. In heaven. To become a peasant, a child out of wedlock, spending the first years of...

The Representative Who Can Rescue [Romans 16]

November 26, 2023 16:24 - 35 minutes - 16.2 MB

Romans 5:18-21 // Jonathan Neef It’s not something we like to think about or talk about but the greatest certainty in life is that everybody dies. Sure, modern medicine and skin products help us live longer and look young but the death rate is still 100%. Everybody dies. But today we are going to look at what is more certain than death. Today we are going to see what is greater than sin. Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49170334   Prayer Requests: https://ccefc.ccbchur...

The Representative Who Wrecked It All [Romans 15]

November 19, 2023 16:29 - 30 minutes - 14.1 MB

Romans 5:12-14 // Brooks Nesse Sin is not our bad habits that we don’t like about ourselves, it’s our master outside of Jesus and its rule is death. It's the reason I have the ability to do so much damage with my words. It is the reason I am so often quick to treat people with condescension, it's the reason for the shadow mission of our good deeds. We say things about our spouse in public to look like a good spouse but at home we're at each other’s throats, it’s why I have the abil...

The Result of Rescue: Reconciliation [Romans 14]

November 12, 2023 16:29 - 29 minutes - 13.5 MB

Romans 5:5-11 // Nathan Miller  At the core of each one of us, is this longing to be loved. And this unmistakable sense that maybe no one does. Or maybe ever will. To be loved we have to be known. But how could anyone who knows me, really knows me, actually love me?  Or maybe it’s when you’re in a season in which it feels like everything's falling apart. You just can’t seem to catch a break. You’re exhausted, overwhelmed, afraid and alone. God, do you love me, or not? And yet, ac...

Result of Rescue: Hope [Romans 13]

November 05, 2023 16:27 - 24 minutes - 11.4 MB

Romans 5:1-5 // Nikki Dieker God’s love has been poured out into our hearts. I have often found that it’s when I am suffering that I feel the love of God the most. Like palpably feel it. It’s because, in suffering, everything is stripped away, all the things I look to tell me that I am okay apart from God, are found lacking…and I have to cling to God, nothing else works. And when I cling to him…I find his goodness and his love there for me. Every time without fail and without disap...

Rescued By Trusting the Promise [Romans 12]

October 29, 2023 17:07 - 35 minutes - 16.2 MB

Romans 4:13-25 // Jonathan Neef If we are honest, there are many places where we feel the “weight of the world.” Things are not the way they are supposed to be and they are overwhelming, chaos is around us, anxiety and angst seem to be our best friends. What are we to do in such situations? Today we are going to look at the story of Abraham and learn how to TRUST God and His promises for a way forward even when there seems to be no way. Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/4...

Rescued Apart from Earning [Romans 11]

October 22, 2023 15:55 - 35 minutes - 16.5 MB

Romans 4:1-12 // Nathan Miller You cannot have a relationship with anyone without trust. Trust is the currency of intimacy. But what does that matter to God? It matters to God because God wants a relationship with you. This is the story of the Bible from beginning to end. God created our world -- and humans -- as an overflow of His love. God is love, and He chose to create a place to put some of that love. But we rebelled against Him. Yet at His core is a desire for intimacy.  G...

Rescued through Faith [Romans 10]

October 15, 2023 15:34 - 30 minutes - 14 MB

Romans 3:27-31 // Jonathan Neef When people talk about “having faith” it often revolves around do they want something bad enough? Or do they believe strongly enough that it can happen? So often the conversation revolves around their effort for faith rather than in the object of their faith. Today we are going to look at faith and examine what is true Christian faith. Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49146489   Prayer Requests: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/254...

Rescued by Grace [Romans 09]

October 08, 2023 16:13 - 37 minutes - 17 MB

Romans 3:21-26 // Nathan Miller Imagine if you woke up each morning knowing -- fully knowing -- that you are safe in God’s arms. That He delights in you. That His face lights up every time you walk into the room. That He’s just so excited to do life with you. You would live with nothing to fear, nothing to prove, and nothing to hide. And we can rest, that through God's grace, Jesus will make this world right. He’s going to make it ok. Just as He promises to make us whole, by the p...

We Need Rescue From Sin [Romans 08]

October 01, 2023 17:08 - 30 minutes - 13.9 MB

Romans 3:1-20 // Jonathan Neef Paul has been writing to the church in Rome where Jews and Greeks are fighting over who is right. Both of them think they are okay but Paul spends the first two chapters saying here is the worst case scenario you have brought up. And not only is that scenario true but It's actually worse than you think.  He needs to continue to humble them and move them through grief so that they can see what they have not seen. So that they can see their desperate a...

We Need Rescue From Hypocrisy [Romans 07]

September 24, 2023 15:23 - 30 minutes - 14.1 MB

Romans 2:17-29 // Jonathan Neef On November 21st, 1995, the DC Talk “Jesus Freak” album made this quote saying, “The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians, who acknowledge God with their lips but deny Him with their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.” Reports from Barna's research earlier this year confirm that almost thirty years later not much has changed. People still find the number one obstacle to Christianity to...

We Need Rescue From Religion [Romans 06]

September 17, 2023 16:20 - 28 minutes - 12.9 MB

Romans 2:1-16 // Nathan Miller How many times have you committed the same sin? How many times have you judged the same person or people? How many times have you despised God’s rich mercy? Do you ever wonder why God hasn’t yet judged that person, handing them their sentence? Do you ever wonder why God hasn’t judged you? Handing you over to what your sins deserve? For we are without excuse. God, what’s the holdup? It’s that He’s waiting for us to repent. Oh so patient. Pouring out ...

We Need Rescue From Death [Romans 05]

September 10, 2023 16:10 - 37 minutes - 17 MB

Romans 1:18-32 // Jonathan Neef As counterintuitive as it may seem sometimes the worst thing that can happen to us is for us to get what we want. Our desires are so strong it can be blinding but when we finally get it, it can lead to death. Today’s passage will reveal how God gave us over to what we want but now we are in desperate need of a rescue.   Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49132475   Prayer Requests: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2542/responses/new ...

We Need Rescue From Idolatry [Romans 04]

September 03, 2023 17:12 - 33 minutes - 15.4 MB

Romans 1:18-23 // Nathan Miller The gospel is God’s power to save us. What Jesus did for us. Not only are we rescued from God’s wrath. Which is amazing enough. When Jesus died, He suffered all the wrath I deserve. He took all that upon Himself. So that anyone who is with Jesus, is forever protected from the wrath of God.  But we are not just rescued from His wrath. We are also rescued from the things that cause His wrath. We don’t have to live like that anymore! We don’t have to r...

Not Ashamed of the Rescue [Romans 03]

August 27, 2023 15:45 - 32 minutes - 15 MB

Romans 1:16-17 // Nathan Miller What are your biggest regrets? Your biggest failures? How many times have you hurt -- deeply hurt -- the people you love most in the world? How often have you made a rule for yourself that you weren’t even able to keep? How many times have you stood before the mirror and thought: What is wrong with you? The good news -- the gospel -- reveals the righteousness of God. The rightness of God. He has found a way to forgive me of all my junk. Truly forgi...

The Rescued Family [Romans 02]

August 20, 2023 16:05 - 33 minutes - 15.4 MB

Romans 1:8-15 // Brooks Nesse Perhaps we come in feeling like we’ve squandered opportunity after opportunity, you come from brokenness, people have told you are not worthy enough to be received by anyone. But praise God it’s not about our worth, it’s about his. And that’s where the gospel breaks in, it has the power to break division between races, social status, and occupation. It even leads to Christ Community letting a Bengals fan preach on Sunday. If that’s not proof of the pow...

The King Who Rescues [Romans 01]

August 13, 2023 17:00 - 33 minutes - 15.5 MB

Romans 1:1-7 // Jonathan Neef Everyone knows that feeling of desperation. Maybe it was when you went out past where you could touch in the pool before you could swim well. Maybe it was when the doctor called about the results of a routine test. Maybe it was when your job was eliminated due to a merger. Those moments of feeling the need for rescue. These become mile markers in our lives. Moments that shape us and how we understand and tell our stories.  This morning as a church fam...

David and the Census [David 13]

August 06, 2023 17:02 - 32 minutes - 32.6 MB

2 Samuel 24 // Jonathan Neef How would you write the ending of your story? Surely you would want to be seen in the best light possible right? Well, the ending of Samuel shows David as the chief of sinners. But while His sin is great, God’s Mercy is Greater. Today we see the story of sin, wrath, repentance, and mercy. Praise be to God the mercy extended to David is extended to us through the cross. Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49115212   Prayer Requests: https://cce...

David and Absalom [David 12]

July 30, 2023 15:27 - 35 minutes - 34.5 MB

 2 Samuel 14-18 // Brooks Nesse At this stage of II Samuel, we reach what seems to be a total spiritual eclipse, where darkness seems to be so prevalent that you struggle to see a world where the God of light is working. But it's here in the darkness that we see God break-in in the most unexpected ways with the most unexpected people. But I will warn you, with all that being said, today’s story doesn’t have a happy ending either but I want to show you glimpses of God’s plan still p...

David and Nathan [David 10]

July 16, 2023 15:28 - 31 minutes - 27.2 MB

2 Samuel 12:1-25 // Nathan Miller Sin exposed can lead to grace. When we get caught. Or when we have the courage to confess. It’s a wake-up call. It’s a fire alarm going off in the middle of the night, warning you that if you want to live, you’ve got to leave the building.  It’s a light shining in the darkness. You didn’t even know you were walking along the edge of the cliff, headed for disaster. But now you can see the better way. For David repents. Which means he recognizes hi...

David and Bathsheba [David 09]

July 09, 2023 17:13 - 32 minutes - 30.4 MB

2 Samuel 11:1-27 // Nathan Miller Where will I turn when I fail? The question isn’t whether or not you’re going to fail. The question is what will you do with your failure? Will you turn before you become the villain? Hiding always leads to more shame. Duplicity never leads to happiness. Self-justification only brings about deeper inadequacy. King David is a colossal disappointment. But he was never meant to be the ultimate hero we need. Yet, what’s so amazing to me, is that our ...

David and Mephibosheth [David 08]

July 02, 2023 15:13 - 29 minutes - 66.9 MB

2 Samuel 9:1-13 // Jonathan Neef We are in the place of Mephibosheth. We are orphaned from our heavenly father, we are crippled and broken by sin, we are poor and needy. Yet God in his Love searches for us and seeks us out. He calls us to himself and lavishes his steadfast and enduring love toward us. He offers us a seat at the table, riches, an inheritance, a place in His kingdom. Why would God be so generous towards us? Because of His covenant and loyal love toward His Son. Just ...

David and The Ark [David 06]

June 18, 2023 15:25 - 33 minutes - 76.7 MB

2 Samuel 6:1-15 // Nathan Miller  When God manages us, He rescues us. He becomes the sacrifice for us. And instead of our death, He dies, and gives us life. And that same God reaches out to us. Not to destroy us but to redeem us. To offer His presence to us. And to make us whole.  Jesus is the true Ark, believe it or not, for He is the presence of God. He’s not a symbol of the presence. He is God's presence. And He is the ultimate sacrifice, on the cross, that allows us to enter...

2022 Christmas Eve Service

June 16, 2023 14:38 - 52 minutes - 96.6 MB

After millennia of promising a king would come, he finally appears, and it’s almost completely overlooked by the world. In the shadow of a massive empire, comes the king over all, and he came for us.   Join us this Christmas Eve as we take time to notice and celebrate the birth of the promised king!

David and Saul [David 05]

June 11, 2023 17:18 - 34 minutes - 78.9 MB

1 Samuel 24 // Jonathan Neef  Will we trust God for His way and for His timing? What if this costs us our chance to seize everything we ever wanted? What if this is our moment to make it happen? Will we capture it? Or let it slip away? We are going to look at two men, the first two kings of Israel named Saul and David. We are going to see how God asks them to wait. And we will see how they respond to the waiting. One of them waits on God with a posture of open hands. The other gr...

David and Jonathan [David 04]

June 04, 2023 15:20 - 36 minutes - 84.6 MB

1 Samuel 18-20 // Nathan Miller As Jonathan was nearly pinned to the wall by a spear, Jesus was pinned to the cross, truly dying in our place, so that we could live. And just as Jonathan found a way to rescue David, Jesus does the same for us. But the difference is, when Jonathan died he stayed dead. And there is no earthly friendship that can possibly meet all your needs. For all of our friends will one day die. Except for Jesus. For He came out of the ground alive. Offering ever...

David and Samuel [David 02]

June 04, 2023 12:09 - 24 minutes - 10.9 MB

1 Samuel 16:1-13 // Nikki Dieker But when God sees our hearts, those of us who have been redeemed by him, what he sees is Jesus, Jesus interceding for us. The one who paid the cost of our sins, he reconciled us, through his death to present us holy, faultless, and blameless before God. We don’t have to earn his love or acceptance, we can’t. When God looks at our hearts, because of Jesus, he doesn’t see our sin, he sees his precious child.  God sees you, sees your heart and he love...

Hannah [David 01]

May 14, 2023 16:43 - 34 minutes - 15 MB

1 Samuel 2:1-10 // Nathan Miller God will never forget you. Take your heartbreak to Him. Hannah brings her tears, her bitterness, her anger, her disappointment, her loneliness. She holds nothing back because she knows she is not forgotten. We are never expected to hide how we’re feeling. We don’t have to clean ourselves up before we go to Him. And the Bible gives us countless examples of deep heartbreak poured out to God.  The Bible is emotionally honest and shows us a God who we...

Acts 1:1-11 // Nathan Miller The Ascension means Jesus will return to be with us forever. He’s coming back. He will remake this world. And all who have lived for His Kingdom will live with Him forever. Jesus will return. This is our great hope. And we need it. It has sustained followers of Jesus for over 20 Centuries as they bear witness to the risen and reigning King Jesus. In all kinds of difficult circumstances. There are still people who haven’t heard the news that Jesus is K...

April 30, 2023 16:33 - 35 minutes - 15.7 MB

John 21:1-25 // Jonathan Neef What is Jesus's response when his followers fail him? If you’re a Christian here today… If you’ve trusted and followed Jesus, for any length of time, you’ve probably asked that question. I know I have many times. And even if you’re here today and you’re not a Christian… if you’re exploring following Jesus, this is one of the most important questions you can ask about the Christian faith.
