This week, we had the honor of hearing from Pastor Alan Clayton, who shared a powerful message about what happens when we make God bigger in our lives.Through the story of Jacob in Genesis 28, we were reminded:➡️ God's presence is closer than we realize.➡️ His Word speaks comfort, strength, and purpose.➡️ A bigger view of God leads to a stronger, more meaningful life.➡️ Strength, not just fun, determines the quality of our lives.If you've been walking through uncertainty, feeling weak, or wondering what's next… this message is a timely encouragement that God is with you, He's speaking, and He's calling you to respond.“Surely the Lord is in this place—and I wasn't even aware of it.” (Genesis 28:16)

Psalm 34 is an invitation to enjoy the goodness of God by exalting Him with others and experiencing Him yourself.

Psalm 16 tells us that we can find the path of life that leads to joy by running to our refuge, remembering our blessings, and resting in our person.

Psalm 8 teaches us that God is infinitely glorious, yet He's personally mindful of you. The bigger you see who God is, the better you understand who you are.

Do you know a lot about God, but still sometimes feel disconnected from him? What does it mean to love the Lord with your heart, soul, mind, and strength?    Today's guest, Dr. Reverend Alan Johnson shares about spiritual formation and his journey from knowing information about God to experiencing him relationally. As a pastor, Dr. Alan sheds some light on the unique challenges that ministry leaders face in cultivating their relationship with God. Anyone facing questions or trials can find it easier and safer to retreat into the realm of knowledge about God rather than wrestle relationally with these questions. Throughout the show Dr. Alan talks about his experience of spiritual formation and the practices that helped him relate to God and see himself more and more as a beloved child of God.    So, come join us for a great conversation as we learn to let Jesus pull his weight and form us into who he made us to be, children of God.    Links/References Try out Spiritual Direction with Pastor Alan Check out Pastor Alan's sermons Get email summaries for the show on PodSnacks!  Review the podcast   Follow us on Facebook and Instagram.

Psalm 3 teaches us to talk to God about our fear, see your fear through God, and talk to our fears about God. Name it, Frame it, Tame it.

July 6, 2025 - "The Broken Mind!" - Pastor Alan Klatt

Psalm 2 tells us that we have a King that we don't want but desperately need.

June 29, 2025 - "The Broken Heart" - Pastor Alan Klatt

Psalm 1 sets a contrast between two ways of living that have two different outcomes. One way leads to blessing and the other way leads to brokenness. The call of the book of Psalms is to choose which path you will take: blessing or brokenness.

In Chapter 7, we see the reality of sin in the believer and the rescue of the believer from sin.

Both Paul and John believed in Hell, and they teach us that Hell is reasonable and horrible, but avoidable because of God's grace.

What began with a powerful dream just days after his salvation, standing in a field as a storm brews and a clock strikes 11:59, became the catalyst for a 25-year journey into the most controversial and misunderstood event in eschatology: the Rapture. Together, Tony and Pastor Alan confront the confusion, mockery, and division surrounding the Rapture, both inside and outside the Church. They tackle biblical patterns of supernatural disappearances, the reality of glorified bodies, the parallels between Enoch and modern believers, and why the disappearance of millions will be more than a sci-fi headline, it will be a tipping point for human history. They also address the dangers of spiritual apathy, red-pilled pride, and the false security many Christians place in end-times theories rather than the Word itself.

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. The question isn't why am I here?—it's God, where are You at work, and how can I join You?

When it comes to evil and suffering, there is a problem that we need to overcome and a perspective that we need to have to trust the promise of Romans 8:28.

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. 

Today, we learn that sickness is a part of living in a shattered world, where people suffer in the shadows, but can find healing in the suffering Savior.

Baptism is important because it identifies us with Christ, illustrates our salvation, and declares the gospel.

Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! What does real influence look like in God's kingdom? In Acts 6, we meet Stephen—an ordinary guy who became a powerful influence for Jesus. This week, Pastor Alan unpacks how Stephen's life of servanthood, faith, and wisdom shows us a radically different path to true impact. In a culture obsessed with followers and fame, discover how you can become a person of kingdom influence right where you are. 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/2025/04/2025-5-3-4-Group-Discussion-Questions.pdf Celebrate Baptism Weekend With Us!

The Cross of Jesus gives us the final word, “It is finished,” which gives us strength for today and hope for tomorrow.

What would it take for you to truly believe in Jesus and surrender your life to Him? In Matthew 12, Jesus will be challenged by his skeptics, and He is going to point them to a strange sign that points back to Him as the Savior of the World.

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. Death is no longer undefeated. Jesus has won, and that victory changes everything. The question is: Do you know Him?Video that Alan mentions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzR6Jpt8UZs 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/2025/04/2025-4-20-Group-Discussion-Questions.pdf Digital Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/cccgreeley/weekly-digital-newsletter-16046802 Christ Community Church – Greeley, CO 

Easter is HERE—and we're celebrating the greatest news the world has ever heard! This Sunday, Pastor Alan is sharing a powerful message called "Certain About Easter," diving into the bold, history-shaping claim that Jesus Christ rose from the dead. If it's true—and we believe it is—it changes everything. This isn't just a story, it's the reason we have hope, purpose, and joy. Whether you've heard it before or are hearing it for the first time, come ready to celebrate what Easter is really all about. We'd love for you to JOIN US—and this is the perfect Sunday to invite someone to come with you!

In Chapter 4, we see Jonah's rage is met by God's response that is both painful and loving for Jonah.

Today, Pastor Alan brings a message from Luke 6:39–49 all about how to build a life that can stand strong no matter what comes our way. In a world where everything feels like it's constantly shifting, Jesus gives us a solid foundation to build on—and it changes everything. 

In Chapter 3, we see that God can use and save anyone because He has a heart for everyone, even if we do not.

Chapter 2 shows us how God's gracious plan gave Jonah a new perspective to get him where he needed to be.

Is there something in your life that you know God wants you to do, but you don't want to do? Chapter one teaches us that Jonah, a prophet God's called to go to a people he loved, had a problem that caused him to disobey and yet God pursued him by His grace even though Jonah did not deserve it.

Laws are meant to help us thrive, but when rules become the focus, we can lose sight of God's heart—compassion.  Today, Pastor Alan continues our "Certain About Jesus" series in Luke 6:1-11, where Jesus challenges the legalists who valued law over love. Jesus reminds us that God's ways are meant to bring life, not burdens. The same compassion Jesus showed then is what He offers us today—and what He calls us to extend to others. 

James teaches us about the delusion of living like we are God and the delight of submitting our lives to God.

James wants us to understand the cause and core of our conflict with others so that we can find the cure we need in the grace of God.

James tells us what Godly wisdom is, why we need it, and how to get it.

Real faith in Jesus should change how we speak to and about other people. James teaches us that what we say is powerful, it points to the condition of our hearts and it pushes us to our need for Jesus to be healed.

James teaches us that there is a difference between fake faith and real faith. James teaches us that fake faith is dead and demonic, and that real faith is dynamic.
