Christ Community Sermons

The current sermon series examines how countercultural laws of the Old Testament were shaped by the truth that all are created in the image of God. This week: How does this framework affect how we view poverty?

If Old Testament law reflects a commitment to human dignity, how do we view the issue of abortion? Pastor Clayton teaches on this flash-point debate with the belief that every person (mother and child) is an image of God.

Pastor Jim looks to Old Testament law for a framework on approaching the issue of immigration.

As a new sermon series begins, Pastor Clayton examines how looking at every person as an image of God and loving your neighbor as yourself reflects a countercultural commitment to human dignity.

In October 2026, Christ Community welcomed Cubs great Kerry Wood to Inspiring Stories weekend services. The 1998 National League Rookie of the Year and 2-time All-Star shared about his dominant 14-year MLB career--and what happened after it was over.

The "Why I Follow Jesus" series ends with the story of someone who met Jesus--but chose NOT to follow him. He couldn't give up what he was really depending on.

Pastor Clayton studies the story of a woman who poured out her most valuable possession to honor Jesus--because she knew Jesus was about to pour out everything he had for her.

Why do I follow Jesus? For a scared father, a suffering woman, and a young girl in the New Testament, it's because he took time to see them.

The New Testament teaching series continues by considering, "What would Paul say if we asked him why he follows Jesus?"

Each week of this teaching series, we look at personal encounters with Jesus in the Gospels and wonder: If you asked this person why they follow Jesus, what would they say?
