Christ Community ChapelHebrews Together - Jesus Is Greater Than the Latest TrendMike Holwerda | This week we learned about how Jesus is greater than any other trend or teaching. Pastor Mike Holwerda showed us how other popular teachings might seem fair, but in reality, they just give us a checklist that we could never keep in order to please God or obtain happiness. We need someone greater, so we look to Jesus. Jesus provided a way for us to be treated with grace, something the world cannot offer us. He checked off every box on the list and laid his life down so that we can receive grace for our past, present...

Church UnpluggedDo we choose God or does he choose us?Obviously we both play a part, but who initiates the process by which we are saved? It has to start somewhere! The theological terms often used for this conversation are "predestination" and "election." Join our CCC pastors as they breakdown this debate in terms of free will, human nature, God's grace, and Scripture.
2019-10-0723 minChurch UnpluggedIs the death penalty a good or bad thing?The death penalty has long been debated in the West, with some asserting it's clear sense of justice and others questioning how it could line up with a pro-life stance. So what is the appropriate way to think about just punishment while still remembering that criminals are made in the image of God and therefore have undeniable value? Listen in as our pastors discuss as we consider how race, socio-economic class, and the Gospel can inform our thinking.

Christ Community ChapelDirty Dozen - NicodemusMike Holwerda | If Jesus was going to tell someone to change, most people might think Nicodemus would be the last person on that list. He was a Pharisee, ruler of Jews, and a highly moral teacher. He already had all his ducks in a row, nothing left to change!
At least he thought. But Jesus knew what Nicodemus really needed, and that was to be reborn. Join us as Pastor Mike preaches from John 2:23-3:15 on what Jesus knows that only Jesus knows, what Jesus can do that only Jesus could do, and how Nicodemus can live in a way...

Yet it's what happened after that is often debated. Did Jesus rise from the dead and walk out of the tomb or not? Tune into this installment of Church Unplugged as CCC pastors share how we can have confidence that Jesus defeated death, and why that is so important to our faith.
2019-05-2018 minChurch UnpluggedWhat’s so special about the Bible?What's so special about the Bible? Or better yet, how do we know that the Bible we have today hasn't been changed or edited over time? Can it still be trustworthy and culturally applicable in 2019? Well... those are a lot of great questions that a short podcast description will fail to answer. Instead, listen to CCC pastors discuss how we can honestly answer these questions and then continue to faithfully follow God's Word.
2019-05-1320 minChurch UnpluggedWhat does it mean to be an Evangelical?What do you think of when you hear the term "evangelical"? Historically, Christians have used this label to identify themselves as people who believe that the Bible is true and that we are saved by faith through Jesus Christ. But today it seems that the term has lost its original meaning and tends to carry political or racial assumptions. So should we continue to label ourselves as evangelical if it can be more divisive than unifying? Tune in as CCC pastor discuss a relevant, yet complex subject.

Christ Community ChapelAgents of Change - The BibleMike Holwerda | The Bible is a book that has the ability to reshape lives. In a “post-truth” society, it is as important as ever that we recognize God’s word as authoritative in our lives. The Bible won’t change us if we compromise on what it says, nor if we don’t recognize and accept God’s grace through Jesus’ death on the cross. After all, we are designed to live the fullest lives while living within the parameters of God’s plan, and the Bible is our best means of understanding and walking in his ways.

Christ Community ChapelTransformed Know 101 - BelongMike Holwerda | We all have a natural desire to belong, and when we choose to follow Jesus and become a Christian, we find that we suddenly belong to the worldwide family of his followers known as “the church.” As members of the church, we are told in I Corinthians 12:12-26 that we are part of a global “body of Christ” and that we all have important roles to play in that body. We may all be different and it may be difficult to always feel as though we belong, but if we know that we are one, trust that we are o...
