Sermons from Christ Community Church, Ardmore Oklahoma

Why Are You Weeping?In John 20:1-18, Mary Magdalene stands outside the empty tomb weeping. Jesus has risen, but Mary does not recognize Him. The world has already changed before her heart can understand what has happened.Then Jesus speaks one word:“Mary.”The resurrection is God's act for the world. Jesus speaking Mary's name is God's act for Mary.In this message, Artie Farve explores grief, resurrection, recognizing Christ's presence, and the hope that Jesus may already be near even when we cannot see what He is doing.Mary begins by saying, “They have taken my Lord.”She leaves saying, “I have seen the Lord!”Scripture: John 20:1-18 Message: Why Are You Weeping?

Even when we fail Him, Jesus does not give up on us. In John 13:36-38, Peter speaks with sincere devotion but discovers the limits of his own strength. Jesus responds not with condemnation but with compassion. This message explores how God meets us in our weakness, how grace reshapes failure, and how Christ loves us before we get anything right.Every one of us knows what it feels like to say I will never do that again or I will be different this time. We meant it, but meaning well is not the same as being whole. Jesus understands our limitations and invites us into transformation through grace, not perfection.The rooster crow is not only the sound of failure but also the sound of awakening. It signals a new beginning. Grace turns regret into restoration and failure into formation.If you need hope, healing, or a reminder that your story is not over, this message will encourage you deeply. Join us at 2620 Mt.

Faith, Healing, and the Heart of Jesus | Taught by Elder Mike Carnahan

Renewing Your Mind | Jamie Smith | Christ Community Church Ardmore

In this sermon, AnDina Wiley, Director of Family Discipleship at Christ Community Church, shares a powerful message on how ministry is meant to be a shared calling, not a solo mission. Drawing from Ecclesiastes 4:9–10, Romans 12:4–6, and John 13:35, she shows how serving together reflects God's design for His church.Whether you're serving in youth ministry, leading a small group, or simply seeking deeper connection in your church, this message will encourage you to move from isolation to community, because the gospel is most powerful when it's lived out together.Key Themes:Ministry is a shared calling, not a solo actDiverse leadership strengthens connectionStudents learn faith through relationships, not just rolesModeling Christian community builds a lasting impactEvery believer has a vital role to play

What happens when love threatens the systems built on fear? In this powerful message from John 11:38–57, Jesus stands at the tomb of Lazarus and cries out, “Come out!”—not just to a dead man, but to all of us bound by shame, grief, fear, or exhaustion.The raising of Lazarus is more than a miracle—it's a turning point that shakes religious power structures and reveals the cost of living a resurrected life.This week at Christ Community Church, we explore how Jesus calls us from the tombs we hide in, invites us to trust again, and commissions us to help unbind others. Resurrection is not only comfort; it is disruption and invitation.If you've felt stuck in the dark or long to help others find freedom, this message is for you.

What kind of God cries with us?In this moving sermon from John 11:28–37, we explore one of the most powerful moments in Scripture: "Jesus wept." When Mary falls at Jesus' feet in grief, Jesus doesn't offer an answer—He offers His presence. He is deeply moved, troubled, and undone by sorrow.This message reminds us that Jesus meets us in our grief, not with quick fixes but with holy tears. God is not distant from our pain. He steps into it, sits with us in the silence, and weeps beside us.Lament is not weakness — it is sacred. God's love doesn't bypass sorrow — it moves through it. Before resurrection comes stillness. And Jesus meets us there.Practice included: A guided moment of silence with Christ — a time to breathe, reflect, and be held by the God who weeps.Whether you're struggling, grieving, or simply needing to know that you're not alone, this message is for you.Join us Sundays in Ardmore, OK, Christ Community Church 2620 Mt.
