  Like Father Like Son 21.06.2026 40m

In John 5:16–30, Jesus doesn't simply defend himself against criticism for healing on the Sabbath—he reveals his divine identity as the Son of God.As we begin Part 2 of our Gospel of John series, Impossible to Ignore, we discover why Jesus became impossible for the religious leaders to dismiss.

  Why Get Baptized? 07.06.2026 32m

  In this message, Minister Mark Ashton explores the life and ministry of John the Baptist and what it means to become a signpost pointing others to Jesus. Looking at John 3:22–36, we discover John's humility, his unwavering focus on Christ, and his famous declaration: "He must become greater; I must become less."John understood that his role was never to draw attention to himself but to point people toward the Savior. Through his example, we are challenged to examine what our own lives are pointing toward. Are we pointing people to our accomplishments, our identity, our success—or to Jesus?This message also explores the biblical purpose of baptism, why Jesus commands it, how it serves as a public declaration of faith, and why baptism remains an important step of obedience for every follower of Christ.

  Born Again 31.05.2026 41m

  Do you have to be a bad person to need Jesus? What if being a "good person" isn't enough?In this message, Minister Mark Ashton explores one of the most famous conversations in the Bible: Jesus' late-night encounter with Nicodemus in John 3. Nicodemus was moral, religious, respected, educated, and sincere. Yet Jesus told him something shocking: "You must be born again."This message challenges the common belief that Christianity is primarily about becoming a better person. Instead, Jesus teaches that what we need most is a spiritual transformation that only God can provide. Through the story of Nicodemus, the bronze serpent in the wilderness, and the truth of John 3:16, we discover why salvation isn't based on performance, religion, morality, or good works, but on faith in Jesus Christ.If you've ever wondered whether you're good enough for God, how to be born again, what John 3:16 really means, or how to find forgiveness and eternal life, this message is for you.At Christ Community Church, we believe no one is beyond God's grace and no one is so good that they don't need it.

  God is Here 24.05.2026 37m

  In this message, Mark Ashton explores Jesus cleansing the temple in John 2, unpacking righteous anger, the corruption of worship, and the radical truth that Jesus became the new temple where heaven and earth meet. This sermon challenges us to rethink holiness, identity, and what it means for the Holy Spirit to dwell within us as the body of Christ. Through the story of Jesus overturning tables in the temple courts, we see his passion for justice, worship, and making space for all people to encounter God. Minister Mark Ashton also examines the deeper theological meaning behind Jesus’ statement, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days,” revealing how the death and resurrection of Jesus forever transformed access to God. If you’ve ever wrestled with anger, spiritual emptiness, identity, purpose, shame, or the desire to feel closer to God, this message offers a powerful invitation to “come and see” how Jesus cleanses, rebuilds, and dwells within his people.🔔 Subscribe for more faith-filled messages: @cccomaha📖 Need prayer or want to get involved?

  New Wine 17.05.2026 33m

  In this message, Minister Alex Ehly teaches through John 2:1–12 and the miracle at the wedding in Cana, where Jesus turns water into wine. But this story is about far more than a miracle at a wedding feast. It’s about Jesus stepping into emptiness, shame, chaos, exhaustion, and spiritual dryness… and revealing the glory of God by making something entirely new.As the wine runs out and the celebration begins to collapse, Jesus transforms ceremonial purification water into the best wine of the feast, revealing that He did not come merely to patch up religion, but to bring a better Kingdom, deeper joy, and lasting hope. This message explores how Jesus still meets people in moments where life feels empty, uncertain, or broken — and how what looks like chaos to us becomes a canvas for His Kingdom.If you feel spiritually exhausted, emotionally drained, overwhelmed by suffering, or uncertain about what God is doing in your life, this teaching offers hope that Jesus still brings new wine out of crushing seasons.

  Spirit, Start, Scatter, Saul 15.03.2026 39m

  What does the book of Acts teach us about the Holy Spirit, the birth of the church, gospel mission, and the transformation of Saul?
