In this powerful message from Acts 9:19–31, we explore what it means to live in the tension between who you were and who you're becoming.

Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! This week, we look at one of the most powerful moments in Acts 9—Saul's dramatic encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus. What begins as a mission of destruction becomes the turning point of Saul's life, as Jesus meets him with grace, calls him by name, and completely rewrites his story. As Saul carries letters of persecution, Jesus interrupts his path and begins a transformation that will lead Saul to become Paul—the boldest voice of the gospel. This message invites us to reflect on the narratives we carry: the wounds, beliefs, and stories that shape how we see God, ourselves, and others. Through Saul's story, we're reminded that Jesus meets us in our mess, opens our eyes, and invites us into a new life marked by surrender, grace, and purpose. For prayer and to stay connected, please visit: https://www.cccgreeley.org For Giving: https://www.cccgreeley.org/give/ Discussion Guide: https://cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/2025-6-7-8-Group-Discussion-Questions.pdf Calling All Book Lovers!

Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! In this sermon, Pastor Alan walks us through Acts 8 and explores how God's plans continue—especially in seasons of stress, chaos, or uncertainty. Through the story of Philip and the early church, we're reminded that God often strategically scatters us to bring hope right where we are.

When Stephen stood before the Sanhedrin, he didn't defend himself—he told a story. In Acts 7, we see how God's promise, provision, and deliverance have been unfolding since Abraham—and how that story ultimately points to Jesus. In this message, Pastor Alan unpacks Stephen's powerful sermon and challenges us to turn our hearts toward Jesus, the true Deliverer who sets us free and invites us into God's greater story.

Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! We all hate losing—especially to our rivals. But there's one enemy we all share that feels unbeatable: death. In this powerful Easter message, Pastor Alan explores the moment when God stepped in and did the impossible—defeating death through the resurrection of Jesus.

Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! In Acts 5, the apostles face serious opposition for preaching about Jesus, yet they remain boldly obedient. Why? Because they knew they weren't alone. Jesus was with them. This message explores what gives us the courage to follow Jesus when it costs us something—reputation, relationships, even comfort. The answer is simple but powerful: Jesus is with you. Whether you're doing what's right, explaining your faith, or facing rejection for living like Jesus… He is with you.

Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! As we continue our journey through the book of Acts, we encounter a powerful—and sometimes controversial—dynamic in the early church: miracles. In Acts 5, we see astounding signs and wonders as the kingdom of God advances through healing and deliverance. But what do these miracles mean for us today? Should we expect the same now? In this message, we wrestle with the mystery of healing, explore the role of spiritual gifts, and consider how God might be working uniquely in our cultural moment—bringing emotional and spiritual healing in deep, transformative ways.

Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service!As the early church grew, one key dynamic set them apart—radical generosity. In this message, we explore how a community once gripped by fear became a bold, Spirit-empowered movement marked by unity, grace, and outrageous giving. From Barnabas' inspiring example to the sobering story of Ananias and Sapphira, we see both the beauty and the seriousness of generosity in God's kingdom. All these examples lead us to ask ourselves: what kind of heart shifts can unleash this same contagious generosity in us today?For prayer and to stay connected, please visit: https://www.cccgreeley.orgFor Giving: https://www.cccgreeley.org/give/Discussion Guide: https://www.cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/2025-3-29-30-Group-Discussion-Questions.pdfBaptism Weekend Returns!

In Acts 3, we see how two ordinary Jesus-followers, Peter and John, step into a divine moment simply by seeing, blessing, and sharing the good news with someone in need.

Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! What if church isn't just a place you go, but a powerful, life-giving movement?

In this message, we explore Acts 2 and the birth of the church, discovering what it truly means to be God's ecclesia—a gathering of people advancing His kingdom. We'll see how the early church was devoted to Jesus' teaching, deeply connected in community, radically generous, and expectant in prayer. Join us as we rediscover the beauty and purpose of the church and why it still matters today! For prayer and to stay connected, please visit: https://www.cccgreeley.org For Giving: https://www.cccgreeley.org/give/ Discussion Guide: https://www.cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2025-3-1-2-Group-Discussion-Questions.pdf Did you know we have a podcast?

 Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! Some moments change everything. A few simple words can shift the entire trajectory of your life—You're hired. You're cured. We're pregnant. In Acts 2, thousands experienced a catalytic moment when Peter spoke just a few words: "This Jesus of Nazareth…" In an instant, they saw the truth—they had been waiting for the Messiah, and He had come. But they had crucified Him. Yet, this was not a moment of condemnation, but of rescue. Jesus, the firstfruits of new life, had conquered death and poured out the Holy Spirit, offering freedom and hope. The same truth that changed lives on that day continues to change lives today. When we see Jesus for who He truly is, everything shifts.
