Brian Jones Sermons

It’s been said that religion is people reaching up to God. Christianity is God reaching down to people. If we truly understood the love God has for us, it would radically transform everything about our lives.

What area of your life are you holding back from Jesus? There’s no part of us that should be off limits, nothing that Jesus can’t affect, and it’s with our one-and-only lives that Jesus wants to change the world.

The benefits of regularly meeting together with other Christians go beyond just the spiritual. Here’s “why” and “how” you should host a CCV Watch Party sometime in the next few weeks! All the info for CCV Watch Parties is available at ccvlive.com/watchparty

Throughout history, when faced with difficult circumstances, Jesus has always called His church to rise up and meet the moment - to lead the charge and usher in His Kingdom, on Earth as it is in Heaven. The reality of how things are and what we’re up against in 2020 is no different.

The prophet Elijah was the kind of person who stood up for what was right, even if it meant he was standing alone. Can the same be said of you?

If you’re tired, weary, or just want to escape, what’s the best course of action? Are these types of issues solved by “just trying harder to be happy?” Maybe taking a nice, long vacation? Or is there something bigger going on? Brian talks about the ‘antidote to exhaustion’ in this message titled, “I Wanna Be Sedated” (to borrow the line from the song by The Ramones).

The goal of Christianity has never been about following a set of rules.
