Return to Joy
We were created for joy. It is the root of every longing, and we spend the majority of our lives searching for it. Joy is both a command and a promise, but we’re often not very good at understanding it or finding it. Every one of us wants more of it, so how do we do it? Where do we get it? How do we sustain it?
Join us this spring as we study one of the most joy-filled books of the Bible, the letter to the Philippians, and together, let’s return to joy.

What Are We Waiting For: The Pleasures of Heaven
From Series: "What Are We Waiting For-Brookside"
For some of you right now, you have a genuine question about whether or not heaven is real. You may be unfamiliar with the concept of heaven from a biblical perspective, or you may truly doubt its existence. For others, I wonder if, even if you don’t have a mind problem with heaven, you have a heart problem. Perhaps we are half-hearted in our belief in heaven. We don’t think about it and it has very little impact on our daily lives. We aren’t excited about it. We don’t anticipate it. And we want to put the question off as long as possible, at least from our conscious minds.I get it. But I want to force the issue here in our first sermon on this topic. Ask yourself, like it’s the first time you’ve ever thought about it, what if everything Jesus said about heaven was real?

Conversation Starters are one way we at Christ Community seek to dig deeper into the current sermon and biblical text. They are available during community group sessions.
To locate Conversation Starters go to your Weekly Update emails, delivered to your personal email every Saturday morning. They will always contain a link to Sermon Notes, and Conversation Starters (when available).
