"Complaining" • Word Problems: Part 7
2w ago00:37:09Tap to summarizeIt’s easy to focus on what’s frustrating, disappointing, or not going the way we hoped. Complaining can become so normal that we don’t even notice how much it shapes our perspective.But Jesus invites us to hold firmly to the good—to live with gratitude, grace, and an awareness of what we’ve already been given.Because what we continually focus on doesn’t just shape our attitude… it shapes the way we experience life and the people around us.
Transcribe →"Cultivation" • Word Problems: Part 6
3w ago00:35:47Tap to summarizeWe often hold back encouragement because we’re thinking about the short term. What if it’s awkward? What if they don’t respond the way we hoped? What if it feels uncomfortable to say out loud?But encouraging words have the power to do something much deeper over time. They can shape confidence, strengthen people, and remind someone they’re seen and valued in moments they may need it most.And it doesn’t just change the other person—it changes our relationships too. Because the words we choose to speak today can help cultivate the kind of connection we experience tomorrow.
Transcribe →"Credibility" • Word Problems: Part 5
4w ago00:39:04Tap to summarizeWe live in a world where words are thrown around casually, promises are broken, and honesty can feel optional. But Jesus teaches that our words are meant to carry weight.He invites us to become people of honesty and integrity—people whose words can be trusted. Not just in the big moments, but in the everyday conversations and commitments that shape our relationships.Because when our words lose their weight, trust begins to disappear with them.
Transcribe →"Contemplation" • Word Problems: Part 4
May 300:36:36Tap to summarizeOur thoughts move fast. Reactions come even faster. And if we’re not careful, what we think in a moment can shape what we say—and how we show up in our relationships.Jesus invites us to pause. To pay attention to what we’re thinking, and to take our thoughts captive before they turn into words.Because even a brief moment of awareness—asking why am I thinking this? and do I want to respond from here?—can begin to change the direction of a conversation.Try it: think about what you think about.
Transcribe →"Confession" • Word Problems: Part 3
Apr 2600:42:11Tap to summarizeWe 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.
Transcribe →"Conflict" • Word Problems: Part 2
Apr 1900:41:46Tap to summarizeConflict 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.
Transcribe →"Construction" • Word Problems: Part 1
Apr 1200:38:10Tap to summarizeWe’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
Apr 500:34:57Tap to summarizeWhat 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
Mar 2900:34:41Tap to summarizeIn 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?
Transcribe →"The God Who Shames" • Unnecessary: Part Two
Mar 2200:35:35Tap to summarizeIn Part Two of Unnecessary, we look at a moment in the Gospel of John where a woman burdened by shame encounters Jesus.Instead of avoiding her or shaming her like everyone else around her, Jesus meets her with kindness, patience and compassion. What is even more striking is how he treats her so differently even though he already knows exactly what's causing her shame.
