Welcome to Christ Community Church of Wilmington NC. We are committed to teaching the Bible, transforming lives, and touching our world.

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.
