Pastor Keith's gave his final message to Christ Community Church yesterday, and reminded us that the Lord's presence is greater and more abundant than anything this world has to offer. Listen as he uses Moses' life and leadership as an example of a man who understood this principle to be true.

In one of his final messages to the church, Pastor Keith reminds us through Luke 19 that though God is all sufficient and sovereign, He invites us to give of ourselves and to participate in His story of redemption.

During this very special service, Pastor Keith and Pam Cowart share their hearts and describe the joy, gratitude and love they feel toward the CCC congregation as the move to their next phase of life: stepping out of Christ Community Church and into a new season! Watch and listen as they share what CCC has meant to them over the last 20 years.

Pastors Keith Cowart and Derrick Shields open a new series by sharing their hearts on the subject of racial reconciliation.

Pastor Keith and Pastor Derrick remind us what it means to be people with "plowable hearts," referencing the Parable of the Sower from Matthew 13.

Pastor Derrick and Pastor Keith revisit our 2006 message series in which we studied the life of King David, to learn from his journey with God what it means to “be a people after God's own heart.”

Our Core Value #4, Unity in Diversity, says: “Because God unites us in the essentials, we can celebrate our diversity in the non-essentials … promoting a diversity of spiritual gifts, and racial, social and spiritual backgrounds.” This is Us – united in Jesus and enriched by diversity. Racial “unity in diversity” has been a meaningful part of our journey. God has been steadily teaching us to live out His life in loving color!

When we connect to notions of giving and helping, it is because we are made in the image of God. He is a giver and His nature echoes in our souls.

Pastor Keith and Pastor Derrick revisit our corporate “theme” for the year 2013, when we focused our attention on the five-fold work of Christ: Incarnation, Crucifixion, Resurrection, Ascension and Return. This captures the heart of our faith as a church – that Jesus is supreme!

Pastor Keith digs into Jeremiah 2:5-13, another passage that God has used often to speak to the CCC body over the years. The message always: Trust in God as our one true source of life.

Pastor Keith revisits Ezekiel 47:1-12, the passage that has provided the foundation of Christ Community's ministry since its early existence, and Pastor Derrick challenges us with this question: Are we willing to not only step into the River, but to go in over our heads?

In this new message series, titled “This Is Us” and co-taught by Keith and Derrick, we'll look back over the past 20 years, talk about defining moments and be reminded of things God has lead us to/through that have helped shaped who we are as a community. We'll also look forward and talk about how to continue building on the foundations that have been established the past 20 years.

At its worst, the prosperity gospel is a fraud. Even at its best, it's still a twisted Christian principle that puts us at the center of the universe and reduces God to a “genie in a bottle” kind of god. Pastor Keith sets the record straight in the latest message from our #FakeNews series.

What does the Bible really say about judgment and when we should or shouldn't engage in it? Pastor Keith looks at a pair of key passages from Jesus and Paul on the topic.

Pastor Keith Cowart walks us through God's redemptive work, beginning at the beginning, in the Garden of Eden, and taking us through the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus.

This week our Harvest series turns to strangers, or “neighbors yet to meet,” which may be a more accurate term. Pastor Keith looks at three biblical harvest stories – three “divine appointments – and shares the stage with one of our members, who has his own outreach story to tell.

Pastor Keith cites Paul's teaching from the third chapter of 1 Corinthians to illustrate how God has done a work of sowing, watering and developing at Christ Community over the years, preparing the way for a new Lead Pastor to take over later this year.

Galatians 5:25 says, "If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit …" Here, in the context of celebrating 20 years of Christ Community Church, Pastor Keith shares how keeping in step with the Spirit sometimes means looking back; at other times, staying in place; and still others, moving forward.

When Jesus saw people who were "harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd" (Matthew 9:35), he had compassion on them. He was stirred by love. This is the fuel for harvest as we obey his call to go and share the good news of eternal life in him.

Our view of the world is critical in the call to Harvest, for how we see the world at large has a huge impact on how we see people.

Pastor Keith presents a look at Isaiah, who was overcome by the glory of God and subsequently responded to His call to "go" with a response of complete obedience: "Here am I. Send me!"

Pastor Keith shares his beginning-of-the-year “State of the Church” message and looks ahead to a renewed call on us, as a church and as individuals, to go into Jesus' harvest field and tell others about Him.

In this Advent series, we have considered how we prepare for His arrival, doing so with faith-filled anticipation, and we have pondered the meaning of it all in the story of the shepherds. Today we reflect, through the story of the Magi, on the appropriate response. How shall we respond to this good news, this Savior born to us who is Christ the Lord?

We end this year with a focus on Advent, the season of the Christian year in which we celebrate the earthly arrival of Jesus our Savior King. Week 1 of this five-week message series addresses the extensive preparation God the Father made in sending us His Son.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 makes clear when we should give thanks: In ALL circumstances. When we do so, even in hardship, we experience God's presence, which is what we need above all else.

Continuing our Acts study of the Holy Spirit's awakening moves in and through the early followers of Jesus, we examine here how they were awakened to the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit, and how we may be awakened to Him as well.

This week's message addresses God's heart for all the world and his grace in involving us in the work of introducing others to him: “And you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the uttermost parts of the earth” (Acts 1:8).

This week and next week we will explore how the powerful moves of God in the early church were always met with opposition from the world and Satan.

We are walking through the Book of Acts to celebrate the many awakening moves of the Holy Spirit in and through the followers of Jesus. This week's message focuses on the disciples' dramatic transformation from fearful scattered sheep to bold apostles for the kingdom.

This week we look at Acts chapter 2, the account of the Church being born – not a church building or a place, but a community, a people.

Pastor Keith spends some time addressing the tragic events in Charlottesville, Virginia on August 12, then begins a new message series in which we'll study some of the awakening moves of the Holy Spirit recorded in the Book of Acts.

Elijah experienced God's presence in a victorious mountaintop moment - and in a lonely, dark time as well. As we learn from these stories in 1 Kings, God is with His people wherever they go.

In this Old Testament story of sibling rivalry, Leah was frequently mistreated by those around her, but God made it clear He saw her and loved her.

There are plenty of lessons for all of us in the story of Abraham, a man who "believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness" (Genesis 15:6).

As we continue to hear the Lord and respond to His awakening, there is a clear call to look outward. Awakening is never just for our sakes alone; the Holy Spirit's stirring always leads us into the world to take His gospel and grace to the lost and broken. As Jesus promised, “And you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8).

"Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many." (1 Cor. 12:12)

God is still calling us to awakening – to a new surrender to His Spirit, to a deeper yearning for His fullness, to a fresh vision for His kingdom to “come” among us and through us. We have had several expressions and images of this awakening: wind, fire, a river, the unclogging of a spring, the filling of the “middle room” (i.e., soul). Today we focus on a new image – the contrast between fallow ground and plowed ground.

Many Christians stop at salvation, only allowing Holy Spirit into “the back room" of their lives. They are basically choosing to manage their soul themselves, but this is not the abundant life God intends for us. We were created to be in full surrender to the love and lordship of our Maker.
