"Freed" • Word Problems: Part 3

"Freed" • Word Problems: Part 3

We all have things we’d rather keep hidden. Things we justify, ignore, or hope will just go away on their own. But what if holding onto it is actually what’s keeping us stuck? Jesus invites us into a different way—one marked by honesty and confession. Not to shame us, but to free us. Because bringing things into the light doesn’t just bring healing to others… it brings freedom to us. Confession isn’t weakness. It’s the beginning of real change.

"Harness" • Word Problems: Part 2

Conflict is inevitable. Misunderstandings happen. People say things they don’t mean—or don’t say what we needed to hear. The question isn’t if conflict will come, but how we choose to handle it when it does. Jesus invites us to approach conflict differently—not with defensiveness or assumptions, but with humility, honesty, and a desire to restore. This week, we walk through a better way forward: 1. Check your motive. 2. Check your story. 3. Share your motive. 4. Share your story. 5. Listen to their story. 6. Own your part (even if it’s just 1%). 7. Ask for what you need. 8. Take action and follow-up. Because it’s not about being right—it’s about getting it right together.

"Builders" • Word Problems: Part 1

We’ve all felt it—the weight of words. The ones spoken over us, and the ones we speak to others. Jesus calls us to recognize the power our words carry—that they can speak life, or cause more damage than we realize. He invites us to slow down and consider the person in front of us, the moment we’re in, and what’s actually needed to build others up. Because our words don’t just reflect what’s happening inside us… they help shape what happens next.

"Three Questions" • Easter Weekend

What do you actually lose if you lose sight of Easter? For some people, Easter is everything — it shapes how they see every day. For others, it's more like an annual tradition: you go, you eat, you move on. This message explores three parts of the Easter story that bring three real questions to the surface. Questions that — whether you grew up in church or haven't been in years — you've probably felt before, even if you didn't have the words for them. Can I trust him? Does any of this actually matter? And what does it mean for right now? If your faith has weak spots, if you're someone who could take or leave Easter, or if you've always believed but you're not sure you know why — this one's for you. Happy Easter from Community Church.

"The God Who Dominates" • Unnecessary: Part Three

In Part Three of Unnecessary, we’re faced with a question we don’t always like to answer — who are we really letting lead our lives? We’re used to calling the shots, protecting ourselves, and making our own way. But what if real life starts when we stop trying to be our own king? What if letting go isn’t losing control, but finally trusting the One who actually knows what’s best for us?
