Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! What happens when fear and insecurity begin to shape the way we see ourselves? In 1 Samuel 10, Saul has been chosen, anointed, and empowered by God to become Israel’s first king—yet when the moment comes to step into his calling, he’s hiding. His story reveals how fear, self-doubt, and insecurity can keep us from embracing who God has called us to be. But God doesn’t leave us in hiding. Through the Holy Spirit, we are reminded of a deeper truth: we are God’s beloved children. We don’t have to be defined by fear, failure, or the opinions of others. We can learn to see ourselves through the lens of our Father’s unending love. Where might fear be keeping you in hiding? For prayer and to stay connected, please visit: https://www.cccgreeley.org CCConnect Catalog: https://cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/CC-Connect-Catalog-Fall-2026-WEB.pdf For Giving: https://www.cccgreeley.org/give/ Discussion guide: https://cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/2026-9-12-13-Group-Discussion-Questions-1.pdf Kids Hope: A Small Commitment with a Big Impact https://mailchi.mp/cccgreeley/weekly-digital-newsletter-16050221 Christ Community Church – Greeley, CO 

Pastor Mariana Wakefield, Pastor KJ Tencza, Pastor Shane Fanning, and Jess Larkin are back for another episode of Finding Family, this time exploring the core values of delight and acceptance. They dig into what it means to genuinely enjoy the people around you... not just tolerate them; and how choosing to delight in others, especially those who are different from us, deepens a sense of belonging within a church family.

Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! What do you do when you sense God calling you into something—but you don’t feel qualified, ready, or capable? Through Saul’s unexpected calling in 1 Samuel 9–10, we discover that joining God in what He’s doing isn’t about having everything figured out. It’s about paying attention to what’s in front of us, refusing to let our past determine what’s possible, and trusting God’s presence more than our own ability. You don’t have to take Jesus somewhere He isn’t—He’s already there. The invitation is simply to notice what He’s doing and say yes. For prayer and to stay connected, please visit: https://www.cccgreeley.org CC Connect Catalog: https://cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/CC-Connect-Catalog-Fall-2026-WEB.pdf For Giving: https://www.cccgreeley.org/give/ Discussion guide: https://cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/2026-9-5-6-Group-Discussion-Questions.pdf Bible Institute Courses Offered This Fall ➡️More Info Inside https://mailchi.mp/cccgreeley/weekly-digital-newsletter-16050170 Christ Community Church – Greeley, CO 

In this episode of the Finding Family podcast, Pastor Mariana Wakefield sits down with Pastor KJ Tencza, Pastor Shane Fanning, and Jess Larkin to continue their series on the five core values of finding family at Christ Community. This week's focus is empathy and vulnerability; what it takes to create relationships and spaces where people feel safe enough to be real. The group talks through the tension between surface-level connection and true depth, and how empathy shapes the way we encourage and show up for one another.

Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! What does it really mean to repent—and why does it matter? In 1 Samuel 6–8, we discover that repentance isn’t simply turning away from sin; it’s returning to God with our whole heart. When our desires get attached to things that can’t truly satisfy, God continually invites us back to the only One who can. Join us as we explore what it looks like to approach a holy God with humility, trust, and wholehearted repentance. For prayer and to stay connected, please visit: https://www.cccgreeley.org CCConnect Catalog: https://cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/CC-Connect-Catalog-Fall-2026-WEB-compressed.pdf For Giving: https://www.cccgreeley.org/give/ Discussion guide: https://cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/2026-8-29-30-Group-Discussion-Questions.pdf Come Learn What It Means to Live on Mission Without Leaving Your City https://mailchi.mp/cccgreeley/weekly-digital-newsletter-16050100 Christ Community Church – Greeley, CO 

Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! What happens when we want God’s presence and power—but not His leadership? In 1 Samuel 4–5, Israel tries to use the Ark of the Covenant to secure God’s blessing on their plans, only to discover that God cannot be controlled or manipulated. In this message, we’re challenged to consider the ways we may try to fit God into our own agendas rather than surrendering our plans to Him. Because surrender isn’t losing—it’s entrusting our lives to the God no box could ever contain. For prayer and to stay connected, please visit: https://www.cccgreeley.org CCConnect Catalog: https://cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/CC-Connect-Catalog-Fall-2026-WEB-compressed.pdf For Giving: https://www.cccgreeley.org/give/ Discussion guide: https://cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/2026-8-22-23-Group-Discussion-Questions.pdf Welcome Back College Students! 🫶 https://mailchi.mp/cccgreeley/weekly-digital-newsletter-16050032 Christ Community Church – Greeley, CO

Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! What if the path to real influence isn't climbing higher—but lowering yourself so others can be lifted up? In this message from 1 Peter 5:5-6, we explore Peter's call to "clothe yourselves with humility" and discover why humility is far more than simply being modest. It's a way of seeing others through God's eyes—recognizing their worth, dignity, and value—and choosing to elevate them above ourselves. Pastor Stetson unpacks how Jesus modeled this kind of humility, why God opposes pride, how God's grace flows toward the humble, and what it means to trust ourselves to God's mighty hand. In a world that constantly pushes us to get ahead, this message reminds us that true strength is found in lowering ourselves so others can rise. For prayer and to stay connected, please visit: https://www.cccgreeley.org For Giving: https://www.cccgreeley.org/give/ Discussion guide: https://cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/2026-6-20-21-Group-Discussion-Questions.pdf Tune In: A Father’s Day Conversation 🎧 https://mailchi.mp/cccgreeley/weekly-digital-newsletter-16049681 Christ Community Church – Greeley, CO

Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! In this message from 1 Peter 4, we continue our Resilient series by looking at the subtle ways sin shapes our hearts, minds, and lives. Peter reminds us that sin isn’t harmless or neutral—it weakens us, derails us from God’s purposes, distorts our perspective, and causes us to forget who we ultimately belong to. But through Jesus, there is freedom, strength, and the opportunity to become who God created us to be. If you’ve ever struggled with patterns you can’t seem to break or felt yourself drifting spiritually, this message is a powerful reminder that resistance leads to resilience and real life in Christ. For prayer and to stay connected, please visit: https://www.cccgreeley.org For Giving: https://www.cccgreeley.org/give/ Discussion guide: https://cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/2026-5-16-17-Group-Discussion-Questions.pdf New Summer Course - Register Today! 🙌 https://mailchi.mp/cccgreeley/weekly-digital-newsletter-16049523 Christ Community Church – Greeley, CO

Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! In a world where so many people feel like they don’t belong, where do we find our true identity? In this message from our Lenten series in 1 Peter, we explore the powerful truth of who we are together in Christ. Writing to believers who felt like outsiders, Peter reminds them—and us—that our belonging isn’t found in culture, preferences, or performance, but in something far more secure. This message invites us to step out of the fragile identities the world offers and into the unshakable identity we have in Jesus—an identity that transforms how we live, love, and relate to one another. No matter where you’ve come from or how you’ve been feeling, you belong to something bigger, stronger, and more meaningful than you may realize. Link to the digital devotional: https://cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Living-Hope-Devotional-Booklet.pdf For prayer and to stay connected, please visit: https://www.cccgreeley.org For Giving: https://www.cccgreeley.org/give/ Discussion guide: https://cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/2026-3-21-22-Group-Discussion-Questions.pdf Join Us in Celebrating Friendship Club 💙 https://mailchi.mp/cccgreeley/weekly-digital-newsletter-16049191 Christ Community Church – Greeley, CO

Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! Spiritual growth isn’t just measured by how often you pray, read your Bible, or attend church—it’s revealed in how deeply you love others. In this message from 1 Peter 1:22–2:3, Pastor Alan explores Peter’s call to “love one another deeply, from the heart,” showing that genuine spiritual maturity is rooted in relationships. As followers of Jesus, we already have the capacity to love well, but we must continually uproot the enemies of love and look to Jesus to meet our deepest needs. This sermon is a powerful reminder that when our hearts are nourished by Christ, we are freed to love others with sincerity, grace, and depth. Link to the digital devotional: https://cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Living-Hope-Devotional-Booklet.pdf For prayer and to stay connected, please visit: https://www.cccgreeley.org For Giving: https://www.cccgreeley.org/give/ Discussion guide: https://cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/2026-3-7-8-Group-Discussion-Questions.pdf Join Us for Easter at CCC — Service Times Inside 🌅 https://mailchi.mp/cccgreeley/weekly-digital-newsletter-16049098 Christ Community Church – Greeley, CO 

Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! What if your deepest freedom isn’t found in doing whatever you want—but in remembering who you truly are? In this message from 1 Peter 1:17–21, we explore what it means to be redeemed—ransomed not with silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ. Peter reminds weary believers (and us) that our identity is not rooted in performance, approval, or success, but in the finished work of Jesus. Because we are redeemed, we are freed to live in reverent awe, freed from empty and inherited patterns of the past, and freed to anchor our hope in a living and loving God. When your value is already settled at the cross, you don’t have to live to prove you matter—you’re finally free to live. Link to the digital devotional: https://cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Living-Hope-Devotional-Booklet.pdf For prayer and to stay connected, please visit: https://www.cccgreeley.org For Giving: https://www.cccgreeley.org/give/ Discussion guide: https://cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/2026-2-28-3-1-Group-Discussion-Questions.pdf 🥞 Pancakes for a Purpose — Supporting Missions Worldwide https://mailchi.mp/cccgreeley/weekly-digital-newsletter-16049062 Christ Community Church – Greeley, CO 

Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! In this message from 1 Peter 1:13–16, we explore the journey of becoming—the transformation from who we’ve been into who Jesus is shaping us to be. Looking at Peter’s own story—from impulsive Simon to steady “rock”—we see that holiness isn’t instant perfection, but a lifelong process of growth, clarity, and identity in Christ. As we fix our hope on grace, live sober-minded and alert, and embrace our identity as God’s children, we discover that the place we are is not the place we will stay. Jesus is forming something solid in us. The journey of becoming starts here. Link to the digital devotional: https://cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Living-Hope-Devotional-Booklet.pdf For prayer and to stay connected, please visit: https://www.cccgreeley.org For Giving: https://www.cccgreeley.org/give/ Discussion guide: https://cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/2026-2-21-22-Group-Discussion-Questions.pdf Round Two: Father/Daughter Dance Night! 💃🕺🎟️ https://mailchi.mp/cccgreeley/weekly-digital-newsletter-16049022 Christ Community Church – Greeley, CO 

Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! In week two of our series through 1 Peter, we explore what it means to live with living hope in a world where following Jesus can feel costly. When we’re tempted to fight back or shrink back, Peter offers a better way—calm courage rooted in who we are and what God has promised. Discover how the resurrection secures our future, how suffering can shape and refine our faith, and how loving Jesus fills us with an inexpressible joy that carries us through. This is hope that’s not wishful thinking—it’s alive. Link to the digital devotional: https://cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Living-Hope-Devotional-Booklet.pdf For prayer and to stay connected, please visit: https://www.cccgreeley.org For Giving: https://www.cccgreeley.org/give/ Discussion guide: https://cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/2026-2-14-15-Group-Discussion-Questions.pdf You're Invited to Ash Wednesday ✝️ https://mailchi.mp/cccgreeley/weekly-digital-newsletter-16048998 Christ Community Church – Greeley, CO 

Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! We’re beginning a new teaching series through the book of 1 Peter, a letter written to believers facing cultural pressure and uncertainty. In this sermon, Pastor Alan explores Christian identity—what it means to belong to God, find our identity in Christ, and live faithfully when following Jesus is uncomfortable or misunderstood. As we enter the season of Lent, 1 Peter calls us to remember who we are in Christ and how that identity shapes the way we live as followers of Jesus in today’s world. Link to the digital devotional: https://cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Living-Hope-Devotional-Booklet.pdf For prayer and to stay connected, please visit: https://www.cccgreeley.org For Giving: https://www.cccgreeley.org/give/ Discussion guide: https://cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/2026-2-7-8-Group-Discussion-Questions.pdf Men, Discover Who You Are in Christ🙌 https://mailchi.mp/cccgreeley/weekly-digital-newsletter-16048949 Christ Community Church – Greeley, CO 

Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! The book of Acts ends in an unexpected way—without closure, resolution, or a grand finale. And that’s intentional. In this message, we look at how Acts closes with Paul still sharing Jesus and how that unfinished ending reminds us that the Acts of God have not ended. What began in Acts through the Holy Spirit is still happening today. The same Spirit who moved then is still moving now—and inviting us to participate. Acts wasn’t the end of the story. It was only the beginning. Link to the video in the message: https://youtu.be/TwC0Db7oerM?si=dFFI-d5gh83I97qB&t=163 For prayer and to stay connected, please visit: https://www.cccgreeley.org For Giving: https://www.cccgreeley.org/give/ Discussion guide: https://cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/2026-1-31-2-Group-Discussion-Questions.pdf Dads, This Dance Is for You 💃🕺https://mailchi.mp/cccgreeley/weekly-digital-newsletter-16048892 Christ Community Church – Greeley, CO 

Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! When life takes an unexpected turn, God is still at work. In Acts 28, Paul’s shipwreck doesn’t land him in Rome like planned—it lands him in Malta. In this message, we explore how Paul “blooms where he’s planted” through five practical responses: noticing the goodness of people around him, serving in simple ways, shaking off the enemy’s lies, stepping into Spirit-led opportunities, and leaning into the strength of Christian community. If you’re in a detour season—a “Malta” you didn’t choose—this sermon will help you find purpose, fruitfulness, and courage 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://cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/2026-1-24-25-Group-Discussion-Questions.pdf Thinking About Baptism?

Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! In this message, Pastor Howard walks through Acts 24 and what it looks like to follow Jesus when life feels stuck—when the “New Year” doesn’t feel new at all. Through Paul’s imprisonment and the day-to-day slog of uncertainty, we’re reminded of four anchors to hold tight: choosing joy in trials, living in step with the Holy Spirit, speaking truth even when it’s hard, and trusting that God’s grace is sufficient—especially in our weakness. If you’re facing ongoing hardship, grief, anxiety, or disappointment, this sermon points to the steady hope of Christ’s power resting on us. For prayer and to stay connected, please visit: https://www.cccgreeley.org For Giving: https://www.cccgreeley.org/give/ Discussion guide: https://cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-12-28-Group-Discussion-Questions.pdf Prepare Your Heart: The Thirst Conference Is Coming https://mailchi.mp/cccgreeley/weekly-digital-newsletter-16048562 Christ Community Church – Greeley, CO

Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! As we near the end of Advent, this message explores a different kind of Christmas joy—the slow, costly, faithful joy of the Magi. From Matthew 2, we see a joy that doesn’t arrive all at once but unfolds over time through movement, waiting, and trust. This sermon is for those still walking, still wondering, and still hoping—discovering that true joy is often formed along the journey toward Jesus, not just at the destination. For prayer and to stay connected, please visit: https://www.cccgreeley.org For Giving: https://www.cccgreeley.org/give/ Discussion guide: https://cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-12-20-21-Group-Discussion-Questions.pdf We Can’t Wait to Celebrate Christmas Eve With You! https://mailchi.mp/cccgreeley/weekly-digital-newsletter-16048484 Christ Community Church – Greeley, CO 

Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! In this Advent message, Pastor Mariana reflects on Mary’s song of praise in Luke 1—the Magnificat—and asks a powerful question: Is joy still accessible when life feels heavy? Through Mary’s story, we see how worship, humility, and being reminded of what’s true can awaken deep, resilient joy—even in uncertainty.

Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! This weekend we’re continuing our Advent series Great Joy—a month dedicated to rediscovering the deep, soul-rooted joy that Jesus brings. In this message, Pastor Alan explores what Scripture and neuroscience reveal about joy: that we’re created for it, wired for it, and shaped by it in our relationships. From Mary and Elizabeth’s encounter in Luke 1 to the everyday ways we give and receive delight, we’ll see how joy is more than a feeling—it’s the atmosphere where our souls come alive.

Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! In this Advent message, we explore the “great joy” announced at Jesus’ birth—joy strong enough to meet us in our darkest moments and push back the heaviness we carry. When life feels overwhelming and the world moves too fast, Advent invites us to slow down, remember that Jesus has come, and look ahead with confidence that He’s coming again. Drawing from Isaiah 9, this message shows how the joy of Christ frees us from despair, oppression, fear, and even sin and death. This isn’t shallow happiness—it’s a deep, steady joy that meets us right where we are. Wherever you’re coming from today, you’re invited to rest, breathe, and rediscover the joy of God with us. For prayer and to stay connected, please visit: https://www.cccgreeley.org For Giving: https://www.cccgreeley.org/give/ Discussion guide: https://cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/2025-Nov-29-30-Group-Discussion-Questions.pdf Experience Great Joy This Christmas Season 🌟 https://mailchi.mp/cccgreeley/weekly-digital-newsletter-16048198 Christ Community Church – Greeley, CO
