Campbellsville Christian Church: Recent Episodes
Taylor Cox
Sunday messages and more from Campbellsville Christian Church.
Our mission is to lead people to Jesus Christ and into a growing relationship with him.
Some transformations you can see. A car pulled out of a field. A house made new. But the deepest change is spiritual, and it happens to the last people you'd expect.
In this final message of the Thrive series, Will walks through the story of Saul in Acts 9. The man who hunted the church became one of its greatest voices.
Some doors close and no one did anything wrong. You just weren't what they were looking for. The Ethiopian eunuch knew that feeling. He traveled 1,500 miles to worship at a temple that Scripture itself barred him from entering. Then, on a desert road heading home, everything changed. In this message from Acts 8, Rodney looks at the man Luke calls an outsider and the God who was already writing him into the story. If you've ever felt like you're on the wrong side of the door, listen in. What's preventing you?
Nobody picks the door with suffering behind it. Given the choice, we'd all take comfort, ease, an easy life. But this week Will walks through Acts 5 and 7 and finds something strange. The apostles get arrested. Flogged. Stephen gets stoned. And somehow they walk away rejoicing.
This message asks a question most of us avoid. What if suffering isn't proof God has left you, but proof you're exactly where he wants you?
The early church exploded across Jerusalem without buildings, budgets, or billboards. So what did they have? In Acts 4, Will looks at a community where no one claimed their possessions as their own and grace spilled over into everyone around them. Generosity there wasn't a single act. It was a way of living, rooted in hearts that had already been handed over.
Ownership was never the issue. Stewardship was.
Every one of us is holding tightly to something. Money, control, security, a dream we won't let go of. Listen in, then ask what you'd have to open your hands to release.
A plant can survive on a little sun and a little water. It just won't grow. Churches work the same way, and most of us have made peace with survival: keep the traditions, keep the programs, keep the lights on. But the church in Acts 3 and 4 grew while its leaders sat in jail. Something was holding it up that wasn't buildings or budgets. In this message Will asks what your life is actually built on, and whether anyone watching would say you've been with Jesus.
Acts 2:47 says the Lord added to the church daily. Will asks why we don't see that as often now. His answer is blunt: most people never say anything.
Somewhere in your life is a name you've been avoiding. This message asks you to finally say it out loud.
Generosity sounds simple until you actually try to live it. Will digs into what it meant for the early church to give everything away, and what it costs us today to do the same. This isn't about writing a bigger check. It's about where your heart is pointed and who you trust with what you've been given.
Compassion isn't something the church talks about. It's something the church does.
In this sermon from the Acts series, Will preaches on what it looks like to actually help hurting people around you. The early church didn't wait for the need to get smaller or more manageable. They saw it and moved. So did Jesus, every single time. The question Will keeps pushing on is a simple one: are you paying attention to the people God has already placed around you? Because compassion that stays in your head is just sympathy. Consider what it looks like to actually get out of the boat.
We've been formed. Now what?
Will continues our journey through Acts with a look at what makes the church unlike anything else in the world. An uncommon community. People who are flawed, still figuring it out, but bound together by something the world can't manufacture.
It's a picture of believers who do life together, who love and serve one another, who refuse to treat faith as a solo sport or church as a place to simply consume.
The early church didn't gather because it was convenient. They gathered because it was everything.
So where does that leave you? Are you a spectator, or are you all in?
Prayer is the last thing most people think they're missing. In Acts 2:42, the early church devoted themselves to a handful of practices that formed them from the inside out. Will has been unpacking those practices for weeks, and this Sunday lands on the final one. Not ritual. Not a last resort. The kind of prayer that shakes the ground. What happens when a church actually prays like God is listening?
Every time we come to the table, we're doing more than following a tradition. We're participating in something ancient, personal, and alive. In this message, Will walks through the breaking of bread as one of the pillars that forms the early church, and still forms us today. It's a practice meant to pull us out of isolation, confront us with what we'd rather avoid, and reorient us around what actually matters. What does it mean to remember, reflect, reconcile, and reach outward, all at once?
What does it mean to be formed by something bigger than yourself? In this message from Acts 2:42, Will explores what it looks like to be devoted to God's Word as the foundation of both personal faith and church community.
Will explores what it looks like for a church to be formed, transformed, and sent. Using the early church in Acts 2 as a picture, he challenges us to think about what's actually shaping us, and whether we're allowing God to do that work intentionally. Spiritual growth doesn't happen by accident, and it can't be manufactured.
Something has to change for us to be truly different. In this message from Acts 2, Will traces the story of a man who failed publicly, ran from the person he loved most, and still ended up transformed. What makes that kind of change possible? It's not willpower. Will points to the same source that turned a coward into a witness, and it's available to you too.
In Acts 2, the disciples were waiting too. Then everything changed. Wind. Fire. A sound that filled the room and spilled into the streets. On the day of Pentecost, God didn't just show up — He moved in. In this message, Will explores what it meant for the early church when the Holy Spirit arrived, and what it still means for us today.
Everything changed when Jesus sent the Holy Spirit. Will Warren opens the book of Acts—a book about what happens next—inviting us to reconsider what power actually means. It's not about comfort or control, but about surrender. As disciples became witnesses to the world, so are we. But here's the question: If the Holy Spirit removed His presence from your life right now, would you even notice? Discover how the Spirit transforms fans into faithful followers and what it truly means to live with His power.
What does it mean to truly be alive? Will explores the resurrection through unexpected lenses—from a valley of dry bones to an empty tomb—revealing that spiritual deadness can hide beneath a busy, outwardly respectable life. If you're running on empty or know areas of your faith that need awakening, this message is a wake-up call to experience the transforming power of resurrection in your own story.
It's Palm Sunday, and the crowds are cheering — but Jesus is weeping. Why? Because he sees what they can't: they're spiritually dead, and they don't even know it. In this first message of a two-part series called Wake the Dead, Will walks through the triumphal entry and the raising of Lazarus to show us a God who meets us in our most desperate moments — not to make bad people better, but to make dead people alive. Whatever feels lifeless in you right now — your faith, your family, your hope — this message is your wake-up call.
What makes a church truly better — and what does that even mean? In this message from Hebrews 13, Will walks through seven qualities that separate a church that simply goes through the motions from one that actually reflects Jesus.
What kind of kingdom are you building your life on? In this message from Hebrews 12, Will contrasts two very different ways of approaching God—one marked by fear and distance, the other by grace and access through Jesus. In a world that often feels unstable, we’re reminded that God’s kingdom cannot be shaken. This sermon challenges us to consider how we respond to God’s holiness and what it means to live with peace, humility, obedience, and reverence as citizens of a better kingdom.
What does it actually mean to have faith — and what does it cost? In this message from Hebrews 11 and 12, Will walks through the "Hall of Faith" and asks a question most of us quietly wrestle with: Is this all worth it? The people in this chapter weren't perfect — but they didn't quit. They trusted that God was writing a bigger, better story, even when life didn't look like it. Whatever you're carrying right now, whatever has you ready to throw in the towel, this message is for you. Your faith matters. Your story matters. And the race isn't over yet.
Guilt and shame have a way of lingering long after mistakes are made—but Hebrews 9–10 points us to a better answer. In this message, Will reminds us that religion can address outward behavior, but only Jesus can cleanse the conscience and restore the heart. Through His once-and-for-all sacrifice, Christ offers forgiveness, full access to God, and a new life free from the weight of guilt. This sermon invites us to stop settling for lesser solutions and to live in the freedom Jesus has already secured.
Drifting rarely feels dramatic—but over time it can take us far from where we’re meant to be. In this message from Hebrews 6–8, Will Warren calls us to anchor our lives in the unchanging promises of God. Because Jesus has already gone behind the curtain on our behalf, our hope is firm and secure. When waiting feels long and faith feels sluggish, this sermon reminds us to trust the One who never changes and never fails.
We all carry “when” questions. When will things change? When will God act? When will life finally settle down? In this message from Matthew 25, Rodney helps us see that Jesus shifts our focus away from when and toward what. This sermon reminds us that while we wait for God to move, He has already placed opportunities right in front of us. The moments we call interruptions may actually be invitations to love Jesus.
Spiritual growth is not automatic. In this message from Hebrews 5–6, Will challenges us to take an honest look at our faith and ask whether we are still maturing or have become stuck.
In this message from Hebrews 4, Will invites us to rediscover the power and purpose of God’s Word. Scripture is not a static book or religious trivia—it is living, active, and personal. Be challenged to examine how we approach the Bible, warning against familiarity without transformation and knowledge without relationship.
We live in a tired world—but Scripture tells us that true rest is more than sleep or time off. In this message from Hebrews, Will invites us to see rest as something rooted in relationship with God. This message reminds us that rest is not found in escaping life, but in trusting Christ fully, today, and learning to walk with Him in faith and obedience.
Drift rarely happens all at once—it happens slowly, almost unnoticed. In this message from Hebrews 2, Rodney issues a clear warning and a hopeful invitation: don’t drift away from Jesus. When life pulls our attention elsewhere, the answer isn’t trying harder—it’s fixing our eyes on Jesus, the only anchor strong enough to hold us.
In his final sermon with C.C.C., Caleb Buddemeyer preaches “The God Who Weeps,” reflecting on John 11 and the story of Lazarus. This message points us to a Savior who enters fully into human sorrow, who stands with us in grief, and who is not unmoved by loss. Jesus does not rush past pain or explain it away—He weeps. You are invited us to trust a God who is present in our suffering and faithful to bring hope beyond it.
As we begin a new year, many of us want things to be better—but Hebrews reminds us that “better” doesn’t start with effort, improvement, or resolutions. It starts with Jesus. In this opening message of the Better series, Will introduces the book of Hebrews and presents a clear vision of Christ as God’s final and fullest word to us. If we want a better present and a better future, it begins with a better vision of who Jesus is and why He must be the foundation of everything we build.
In this message from the When God Moves In series, Will Warren explores what happens when God shows up in unexpected ways. Looking at Jesus’ invitation throughout Scripture—from Revelation’s open door to encounters with Matthew and Zacchaeus—this sermon reminds us that God doesn’t force His way into our lives. He knocks. He invites. And He waits for a response.
Will reflects on the love revealed when God moved into our world through Jesus. Centering on Matthew 1 and the name Emmanuel, this sermon reminds us that God is not distant, we are never alone, and His love meets us right where we are. Even in darkness, uncertainty, and weakness, God draws near—offering hope, presence, and unconditional love through Christ.
In this message from the When God Moves In series, Will Warren explores what happens when God shows up in worship—and why joy is the natural result. Looking at Luke 2 and the responses of the shepherds, Simeon, and Anna, this sermon reminds us that joy is not based on circumstances but is found in the presence of Jesus.
In this message from the When God Moves In series, Will Warren takes us to Luke 2 and the moment Simeon finally sees the Messiah he had spent a lifetime waiting for. Will reminds us that Jesus is the arrival of real, lasting hope — the kind that strengthens us in waiting, steadies us in uncertainty, and reveals the perfection of God’s timing. When Christ entered the world, hope didn’t just grow…it showed up in person.
In this final message of the Thankful Heart series, Will reminds us that the church doesn’t exist just to gather—it exists to be sent. Pointing to Jesus’ words in John 20 and the Great Commission in Matthew 28, this sermon calls us back to the mission that matters most: making disciples.
In this message from the Thankful Heart series, Will reflects on one of Scripture’s most comforting truths: Jesus is our Good Shepherd. Drawing from Psalm 23 and John 10, Will reminds us that our shepherd doesn’t lead from a distance—He knows us, protects us, provides for us, calls us by name, and walks with us through every valley.
In this message from the Thankful Heart series, Will reminds us why Scripture is one of God’s greatest gifts to His people. He shows how the Word of God gives life, guides our decisions, strengthens us in weakness, transforms our hearts, and endures when everything else fades.
In this message from the Thankful Heart series, Will reminds us that gratitude begins with knowing we serve a God who truly cares. He sees our needs, heals our hurts, and holds our future. From the Psalms to the teachings of Jesus, this sermon encourages us to cast every worry on God, trust His timing, and find peace in His presence. No matter what season you’re in, you are never forgotten — because you belong to a God who cares deeply for you.
Will Warren begins a new series on gratitude by focusing on something we all long for—a place to belong. Looking at the deep need for connection and the church’s calling to be a true family, Will reminds us that the body of Christ is where ordinary people find welcome, grace, and purpose. In a world hungry for belonging, this message points us to the beauty of a church where everyone is invited, known, and loved.
In his final message with us, Jerry Jones pauses to celebrate God’s faithfulness and the many ways He has blessed this church. Reflecting on the past year, Jerry reminds us that the church is special because Jesus is worshiped here, God’s Word is preached, love is practiced, and the Spirit is alive and at work. He challenges us to stay united, keep serving, and never give up as a new chapter begins under Will Warren’s leadership. This heartfelt message is both a look back in gratitude and a call forward in faith.
In his first message with us, Will Warren shares “Coming Home”—a powerful reminder that no matter how far we’ve wandered, God is always waiting with open arms. Through the story of the prodigal son, Will shows how sin overpromises and underdelivers, but grace never gives up. This message invites each of us to come to our senses, return to the Father, and experience the full restoration that only He can give.
In this final message of the Teach Us to Pray series, Jerry Jones reminds us that prayer is more than words—it’s spiritual warfare. Through the Lord’s Prayer, we learn that God gives His people strength to resist temptation and power to overcome the enemy. This sermon challenges us to recognize the reality of spiritual battle, stand firm in God’s truth, and live in victory through the cross and the Spirit who lives within us.
Join us for Part 4 of our series on the Lord's Prayer as we focus in on verse 12 - Forgive us our debts as we have forgiven our debtors.
In our sermon from October 5, 2025, Jerry speaks on the crucial matter of forgiveness. Jesus speaks so passionately - and even so demandingly - about forgiveness! We may love because He has first loved us. We must forgive because He has first forgiven us.
Why does God allow evil and suffering? In this message, Greg Comp wrestles honestly with one of the toughest questions people ask about faith. He explains that while God didn’t create evil, He gave humanity free will—and with it comes both the risk of sin and the reality of pain. Greg points us to the hope that God can bring good even out of suffering, that one day He will set all things right, and that in Jesus we find a Savior who knows our pain firsthand.
What does it mean to pray, “Give us this day our daily bread”? In this message from the Teach Us to Pray series, Jerry Jones unpacks how this simple phrase is a prayer of dependence, a prayer of covering, a prayer of community, and a prayer of faith. It reminds us that God is the provider of all our needs—physical, emotional, and spiritual—and calls us to trust Him one day at a time. When we stop trying to control everything and instead rely on God, we find peace, provision, and true life in Jesus, the Bread of Life.
What does it mean to pray, “Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven”? In this message from the Teach Us to Pray series, Jerry Jones reminds us that God’s kingdom flips the values of this world upside down. To pray this way is to ask for radical change—in our communities and in our own hearts. It’s a call to surrender our will, stop conforming to the world, and allow God’s Spirit to transform us from the inside out.
Prayer can often feel confusing, repetitive, or even distant—but Jesus gave us a model to follow. In this opening message from the Teach Us to Pray series, Jerry Jones walks through the beginning of the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6. He reminds us that prayer isn’t about fancy words or public displays—it’s about recognizing God as our Father, approaching Him with reverence, and learning to pray with both intimacy and awe.
What do you do when it feels like heaven is silent? In this message, Jerry Jones confronts one of the most difficult realities of faith—the silence of God. Even when prayers seem unanswered and questions go unresolved, God still hears, still cares, and still responds in His way and His time. This sermon invites us to take our hardest questions to Him and trust that silence is not absence, but an opportunity to grow deeper in faith.
What kind of God are you living with—one small enough to fit in your box, or the Almighty who can do the impossible? In this message, Jerry Jones takes us through Numbers 13–14 and challenges us to see beyond fear, criticism, and obstacles. Just like Joshua and Caleb, we are called to trust in a God who is bigger than our doubts, stronger than our struggles, and faithful to His promises.
Have you ever considered what it truly means to live as a follower of Jesus in the day-to-day? In this message, Jerry Jones unpacks the challenge and the joy of walking in step with Christ. Drawing from Scripture, he helps us see that discipleship isn’t about grand gestures—it’s about daily obedience, surrender, and faithfulness.
In this message from our Matters of the Heart series, we explore the truth that there is no real security in wealth. Using lessons from Ecclesiastes 5 and the life of Solomon, we see how money never fully satisfies, can quickly disappear, and will ultimately control those who love it. The call is clear: honor God first with our resources, make wise financial choices, and remember that everything we have belongs to Him.
What if the way you manage your money is more than a financial issue—it’s a spiritual one? In this kickoff to our Matters of the Heart series, Jerry Jones challenges us to rethink our attitudes toward giving, ownership, and surrender. He reminds us that everything we have belongs to God—and He’s calling us to steward it for His kingdom.
Tune in to hear why biblical stewardship isn’t about guilt—it’s about freedom.
Jerry Jones unpacks the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25–37) to show what it truly means to love others as Jesus loves us. Jerry encourages us to pray for opportunities, build relationships with those far from God, and step out of our comfort zones to make a difference—one person at a time. This message is a reminder that evangelism starts with simple, everyday acts of love.
Jesus calls us to be fishers of men, not just keepers of the aquarium. Drawing from Luke 5 and the call of Peter, Jerry reminds us that true life, purpose, and transformation happen when we step out of our comfort zones and rely on Christ to provide. You'll be challenged to ask: Are we just talking about fishing, or are we really casting our nets?
What kind of church throws a birthday party for a prostitute at 3:30 in the morning? According to Jerry, the kind of church Jesus came to create. God is actively searching for the fully committed—and for the lost. Through Jerry asks the question every believer must answer: Who’s your one?
If you’ve ever wondered how to make your faith count in the lives of those around you, don’t miss this.
What if worship isn’t about what we feel—but about Who we follow? In this message, Jerry invites us to rethink everything we believe about worship. From Sunday songs to daily decisions, worship is far more than music—it’s a lifestyle of surrender, reverence, and joy. Whether you’re on fire for God or running on empty, this sermon challenges and equips you to make worship your daily priority and discover the purpose you were created for.
In “To Communion,” Jerry Jones takes us to the upper room and back through the pages of Scripture to rediscover the powerful meaning behind the Lord’s Supper. Far more than a weekly ritual, communion becomes a moment of deep remembrance, personal examination, and redemptive celebration.
In “To Each Other,” Jerry Jones brings a challenging message about the beauty and necessity of biblical community. Drawing from Acts 2:42 and a powerful reflection on the redwood trees’ interconnected roots, Jerry reminds us that just like those towering giants, we were not designed to stand alone.
In “To God’s Word,” Jerry Jones continues our Renewing Your Commitment Series from Acts 2:42–47 by challenging the church to return to a deep devotion to Scripture. Looking at the early believers, Jerry reminds us that transformation doesn’t come from simply hearing the Word—it comes from living it. Are we truly building our lives on God’s truth, or have we grown numb to it?
In “Practicing Genuine Forgiveness,” Jerry addresses one of the hardest commands Jesus gave: to forgive from the heart. Whether you’re struggling to forgive someone else, battling guilt, or needing to forgive yourself, be challenged and encouraged you to take that next step. “Forgiven people forgive people.”
In “The Cost of Discipleship: Part 3,” Jerry Jones concludes his powerful series on Luke 14, urging us to embrace the full call of following Jesus—no matter the personal cost. Jerry unpacks how being a disciple requires us to surrender everything that might possess us, even our material comforts and personal pride.
In “The Cost of Discipleship: Part 2,” Jerry Jones continues the series on Luke 14, urging us to go deeper in our faith by counting the cost of following Jesus. Jerry unpacks the sobering call to not only love Jesus above all else but to die to self—picking up our cross daily and living a life that truly reflects the heart of our Savior.
In “The Cost of Discipleship,” Jerry Jones challenges us to move beyond convenient Christianity and embrace the hard, honest truth of what it means to follow Jesus. Drawing from Luke 14:26, Jerry unpacks Jesus’ radical call to love Him above all else—even above our families, comfort, and personal preferences.
In “Checking Our Commitment Level,” Jerry Jones brings a challenging message from the Renewing Your Commitment series, urging us to stop and evaluate where we really stand with Jesus. Are we fans—enthusiastic admirers—or true followers who are fully surrendered? Through five honest questions, this we're called to examine whether our faith is growing, our sacrifice is real, and our lives are fully aligned with the gospel.
Jerry Jones continues the Renewing Your Commitment series by diving deep into the meaning and necessity of baptism. With passion, clarity, and grace, Jerry addresses common questions and misconceptions, reminding us that baptism isn’t optional—it’s an act of obedience, identity, and trust.
In “You Can’t Save You,” Jerry Jones delivers a powerful reminder that no amount of good deeds, church attendance, or personal effort can earn salvation. Drawing from Ephesians 2, Jerry paints a vivid picture of our helplessness without Christ—and the incredible mercy of a God who stepped in when we couldn’t save ourselves. This message challenges listeners to embrace the truth: we are rescued by grace alone, through faith, because of the finished work of Jesus.
In “Allowing the Resurrection to Define You,” Jerry Jones explores how the risen Jesus transforms lives—not just historically, but personally. Through the story of Peter, Jerry shows how grace, forgiveness, and purpose can be found even after failure and regret. This message challenges us to consider: How has the resurrection changed me? Am I still stuck in shame, or am I letting Jesus rewrite my story? Whether you’re wrestling with your past or wondering about your purpose, this Easter message is a powerful reminder that the resurrection isn’t just something we celebrate—it’s something that can define who we are.
In “Reimagining the Triumphal Entry,” Jerry Jones invites us to see Palm Sunday through a fresh lens—not just as a moment in history, but as a personal invitation for Jesus to enter our hearts.
The path of Jesus is the path of humility and service. The Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve. He washed His disciples' feet - are you ready to take up the towel?
Preacher: Jerry Jones, 4/6/2025
In “What Motivates You?” Jerry Jones challenges us to examine the heart behind our faith. Are we serving, giving, or worshiping to earn blessings, avoid guilt, or impress others—or are we doing it out of a deep love for Jesus? Tune in to be reminded that true discipleship isn’t about what we get—it’s about who we love.
In “Dream Big,” Jerry Jones challenges us to trade small backyards and status quo faith for a God-sized vision that changes lives. Drawing inspiration from Nehemiah’s passion to rebuild Jerusalem, Jerry unpacks how vision begins when we look around and see the need, look within and feel the burden, and look above to seek God’s direction.
In “The Law and the Gospel,” special guest Greg Comp unpacks the inseparable connection between God’s law and the good news of Jesus Christ. Drawing from both the Old and New Testaments, Greg explains how the law reveals our sin, points us to our need for a Savior, and ultimately leads us to grace.
In “Wide Phylacteries, Narrow Neighborhoods,” Caleb Buddemeyer examines Jesus’ commentary on the Shema, challenging us to consider whether our knowledge of God is truly shaping us into people of love.
In “Beach Life,” Rodney unpacks Deuteronomy 6. Through Moses’ final instructions to Israel, Rodney challenges us to examine what’s shaping our hearts: Are we being nourished by God’s Word, or are we filling ourselves with things that leave us dry? This message calls us to a renewed commitment to Scripture, reminding us that discipleship isn’t an added burden—it’s what helps us carry the weight of life with God’s strength.
Jerry wraps up the Jonah series by challenging us to step beyond what’s familiar and into the mission God has called us to. As Jonah wrestles with God’s mercy toward Nineveh, Jerry reminds us that we often struggle with the same resistance—preferring comfort over obedience. Are we willing to leave our safe spaces to reach those who need Jesus?
Jerry Jones continues the Jonah series by exploring Jonah’s reluctant obedience and Nineveh’s unexpected repentance. Despite his past disobedience, Jonah gets another opportunity to fulfill God’s calling—reminding us that failure doesn’t disqualify us from being used by God. As Jerry unpacks Nineveh’s response, he challenges listeners to consider their own hearts: Are we truly repentant, or are we just trying to feel better about ourselves? This message calls us to embrace both God’s grace and our responsibility to share His truth. Tune in for a powerful reminder that God’s mercy is bigger than our mistakes.
Jerry Jones continues the Jonah series, unpacking Jonah’s desperate prayer from inside the great fish. As Jonah hits rock bottom, he finally turns to God—a powerful reminder that no matter how far we run, God’s mercy reaches even the depths. Jerry challenges us to reflect on our own storms: Are they wake-up calls leading us back to God? Are we willing to surrender and trust His plan?
Jerry Jones continues the Jonah series by exploring what happens when we run from God’s call. As Jonah flees, a violent storm threatens not just his life but the lives of those around him—reminding us that our disobedience impacts more than just ourselves. This message invites us to stop running, trust in God’s grace, and step into His calling. Tune in for a powerful reminder that we can’t outrun God’s love.
Jerry Jones kicks off a new series on the book of Jonah, diving into the opening verses of Jonah 1. Jerry challenges us to reflect on where we might be running from God’s call in our lives and what “Tarshish” we are fleeing to in avoidance of His plans.

In “Caught,” Caleb Buddemeyer reflects on the profound story of the woman caught in adultery from John 8. With careful insight, Caleb explores the character of Jesus, who confronts self-righteousness while extending grace and truth. This message challenges us to consider how we see others: by their sin or by their name.
In “Living Water,” Rodney takes us to John 7, where Jesus offers a life-changing invitation during the Feast of Booths: “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.” Exploring the deep significance of this festival and Jesus’ bold declaration, Rodney reveals how Jesus offers not just temporary relief but an unending source of life and peace.
In “Stumble Onward,” Caleb Buddemeyer explores the hard truths of following Jesus from John 6, where many disciples turned away after hearing Jesus’ challenging words. Listen to find encouragement for the journey of faith, no matter how uneven the road may seem.
In “Better David,” Rodney highlights the ways Jesus fulfills the promise of a better king, contrasting His reign with the victories and failures of King David. From David’s defeat of Goliath to his human shortcomings, Rodney shows how these moments point to Jesus as the ultimate representative who battles sin and death on our behalf. This message invites listeners to look beyond the manger to see Jesus as the victorious King who calls us to follow Him.
In “Better Aaron,” Rodney examines Hebrews 4:14–5:5, exploring how Jesus fulfills the role of the Great High Priest in a way no one else could. Unlike the flawed priests of the Old Testament, Jesus offers a perfect, once-for-all sacrifice, bridging the gap between a holy God and sinful humanity. Rodney challenges listeners to stop striving for self-made righteousness and rest in the finished work of Christ.
Caleb Buddemeyer opens the Advent series by exploring how Jesus comes as the new and better Adam. Drawing from John 1 and the broader biblical narrative, Caleb unpacks how Jesus undoes the brokenness of humanity’s fall and ushers in a restored relationship with God.
In “You’re Not the Boss of Me,” Rodney dives into John 5:19-29, where Jesus boldly claims His divine authority, sparking outrage among the religious leaders.

In “Everyone Everywhere,” Rodney unpacks Jesus’ surprising encounter with a Samaritan woman at the well, revealing just how far He’ll go to bring hope and freedom.

Tune in to discover how this story challenges our views on who needs the gospel and how far we’re willing to go to share it.
Caleb Buddemeyer dives into the humility and joy of John the Baptist, who sees himself as the friend of the bridegroom, joyfully pointing others to Jesus. Reflecting on John’s declaration, “He must increase, but I must decrease,” Caleb challenges listeners to consider their role as part of God’s “bridal party”—serving, supporting, and celebrating Jesus as the center of faith. Caleb explains that, like John, we’re called to embrace a life that lifts Jesus up and allows God’s love and purpose to flow through us, bringing hope and salvation to others.
Jon Andrew, Kids Minister at C.C.C., shared from John 3:1-21, asking the question, How do we enter the Kingdom of God? and What does it mean to be born again?
Rodney explores the powerful moment when Jesus overturns the tables in the temple, as recorded in John 2. Rodney explains how this act was not a random outburst of anger but a profound demonstration of Jesus’ zeal for true worship and His rejection of religious practices that had become self-serving and corrupt. By clearing the temple, Jesus was pointing to a greater reality—that He Himself is the true temple where we find access to God.
John 2:1-12
What a beautiful picture of Jesus' power, character, and generosity at the wedding in Cana! When the wine ran out, Jesus didn't just meet the need - He provided an abundance, turning water into the finest wine. This miracle reveals that Jesus has the power to disrupt the natural order, the willingness to listen and respond to those in need, and a heart overflowing with kindness and compassion. As we celebrate the start of a new marriage, may we be reminded that Jesus is the ultimate Bridegroom, who fights tirelessly for His bride and invites us to feast at the wedding banquet to come.
John 1:35-51
From the first days of Jesus' ministry to today, His call has always been simple: Come and see. Follow me. But what does it mean to follow Jesus? What is the difference between recognition and following? Where is Jesus going?
Jesus is going to the Father, through the Cross. If we follow Him, we will be changed, and we will go where He goes.
Rodney reflects on John the Baptist’s message from John 1:19-34, emphasizing his role as a signpost pointing to Jesus, the true Messiah. John humbly denied being the Savior, instead directing everyone to the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world. Rodney challenges listeners to let go of self-reliance and focus on abiding with Jesus, following John’s example of humility.
“The Word in the World” dives deep into the Gospel of John, exploring how the prologue sets the stage for understanding Jesus’ mission to the world. Join us as we unpack the profound connection between the Word becoming flesh and what it means to receive and make Him known.
In this final sermon of the “Rediscover the Gospel” series, Justin explores Galatians 6 and tackles the challenge of weariness in the Christian life. Using Paul’s encouragement to not grow weary in doing good, Justin offers practical insights on how believers can continue to sow in the Spirit and reap a harvest in God’s perfect timing. He challenges listeners to restore others, carry one another’s burdens, contribute to spiritual growth, and persevere without giving up. Ultimately, Justin reminds us that just as Jesus didn’t give up on the cross, we are called to persist in faith and good works, trusting that God’s grace will sustain us.
In this sermon, “Set Free for Freedom,” Caleb Buddemeyer unpacks Galatians 5, emphasizing the profound truth that Christ has set us free for the sake of freedom itself. Caleb challenges listeners to recognize the futility of trying to earn righteousness through their own efforts, highlighting the contrast between the desires of the flesh and the transformative power of the Spirit. He encourages believers to rely on the grace of Jesus, not on legalism or licentiousness, and to walk in step with the Spirit as they experience true freedom in Christ.
In this fifth sermon of the “Rediscovering the Gospel” series, Justin Dewell dives deep into Galatians chapters 3 and 4, inviting listeners to reflect on what it means to be truly known by God. We will explore how the Apostle Paul connects the story of Abraham to the gospel, emphasizing that followers of Christ are no longer bound by the law but are instead free in faith. This episode challenges believers to let go of proving themselves to God, embracing the freedom that comes from being known and loved by Him.
Join Richie Kessler, deacon at Campbellsville Christian Church, as he takes us on a journey through the Book of Galatians in his sermon, “Just Jesus.” He challenges us to resist the temptation of adding human traditions to the message of Christ. Listen as Richie unpacks Paul’s teachings on the law, grace, and the freedom found in Jesus alone. It’s a reminder that in our walk with God, it’s always “Just Jesus”—no substitutions.
In week 3 of our series, Justin points us to the need for gospel consistency in our lives. When we aren’t consistent false gospels creep in. The great challenge is to be crucified with Christ. We tend to think Jesus died so we could have it easy. Jesus’ death invites us to be crucified with him so we can be transformed.
What is the Gospel? Is it possible we've settled for less than the full gospel? Have we settled for a sin-management gospel rather than the full redeptive story of God from the beginning of creation through the story of the Hebrew people, when the Son of God enters this world, redeems humanity and establishes his Kingdom here on earth until the full and final Kingdom arrives for all eternity? Justin leads us through Galatians 2:1-10 as we seek a biblical understanding of gospel.
Join us for our special guest, Troy Nelson, as he shares from Mark 5 and the power of redemption and the ultimate freedom found in Christ.
In this introduction to the letter to the Galatians, we see the apostle Paul addressing an issue that was taking root in the early church. They were accepting messages that were not the Gospel of Jesus, it was more of a Jesus and "x" gospel. As you'll see, Christians today aren't so different after all.
Join us for part 2 of Redeem the Screen as Justin walks us through 3 unfulfilled promises of technology.
Join Ken Idleman as he shares the most important legacy we can leave behind and how to begin now, regardless of your age or stage of life.
In this sermon, we explore the Apostle Paul's final instructions to his protégé Timothy, focusing on the pivotal role of Scripture in the Christian life. As Paul faces imminent execution, he encourages Timothy to remain steadfast in his faith, highlighting the inevitability of persecution for those who live a godly life in Christ Jesus. Paul underscores the enduring power of Scripture, which is God-breathed and essential for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness. This message not only served Timothy but continues to resonate with believers today, urging us to rely on Scripture, endure suffering, and faithfully proclaim the Gospel. Join us as we delve into Paul's heartfelt charge and its profound implications for our walk with Christ.

Join us for week three of Purpose by Design as Justin leads us through one of the most challenging, and as a result most ignored, passages of 1st Timothy.
Join Rodney Booe as we explore 2 Timothy 1:3-14 in part two of Purpose By Design. Rodney leads us to examine our own distortions of the gospel that are driven by fear, and the solution to our fears.
Our final sermon in our Exodus series unpacks how Exodus aligns with the Gospel found in the New Testament.
Justin continues our series through Exodus and ask's us to examine when we too, like the Israelites, have settled for a god of our own making - a less than God. Join us as we dive into Exodus chapter 32.
Join us for week 6 of Exodus as we take a look at the 10 Commandments in a way you might never have before. Caleb Buddemeyer is the speaker today.

Part 3 of our Promised One Series, looking at Old Testament prophesies regarding the coming Messiah.
Part 1 of our new series, Growing Together: a study of the book of Philippians! Speaker: Caleb Buddemeyer
We all deal with anger in our own way. Jesus deals with this head-on in Matthew 5:21-26 as He begins a series of "You've heard it said...but I tell you..." teachings. Join Rodney as he unpacks Jesus' solution for anger.
2 Cor 12:11-13:14
Once God is the one who sustains us instead of our ego we can celebrate others. This allows us to be a church that builds others up. We aren’t jealous of other Christians or churches. We realize when one of us wins we all win. We speak to build each other up so we can be strong together with God.
2 Cor 12:1-10
We hide our weaknesses. We don’t anyone to know of our failures or things we’re not good at. When you know how powerful God’s grace is you stop hiding your weakness. You see how God holds you up through your weakness. The gospel is about making the weak strong.
2 Cor 11:16-33
We are too comfortable. Our comfort has drained us of courage and confidence in God. It’s time for the church to reclaim the confidence in God to risk danger for the sake of the gospel!
Paul, heartbroken as he writes to the church in Corinth, tries a different approach in chapter 11 of 2 Corinthians. He's invested so much time and energy in this congregation and they've been so quick to abandon the truth for a cheap imitation. So, with sadness in his heart and his tongue in his cheek, Paul outlines 4 ways for them to be idiots.
2 Cor. 10:1-18
Our minds are a battleground. We receive thousands of messages every day that tell us who to be and what to think. We fight the battle in our mind by taking every thought captive. We must think through the lens of Christ.
2 Cor. 8:8-9:5
Paul challenges the Corinthians talk of desiring to give. A desire to give opens doors to experience God’s grace. One way evangelism happens is when we live out our faith in our finances. Paul uses Jesus’ sacrifice of His life as an example of how we should sacrifice our finances.
2 Cor. 8:1-7
Paul says giving is a form of grace. When we give God uses it to bless others. The Macedonian Christians didn’t give because they were wealthy, but because it was a sacrifice. They were struggling but still gave an incredible amount to help Paul spread the gospel.
Join us for the Final week of our series, How To Survive When Life is Hard. A breakthrough puts in perspective God’s hard work for you during your hard times.

How To Survive When Life is Hard: Part 1
2 Corinthians 6:3-10
We live in a time when division is at an all-time high. It’s easy to distance ourselves from those we disagree with, split into factions, tear each other apart online, and cancel those we refuse to forgive. Individually, that leaves us with damaged relationships we use to enjoy. Jesus provided a different way. This Easter we celebrate Jesus’ resurrection paving the way for all of us to restore our relationship with God and one another. We can come together in Jesus instead of falling apart.
2 Cor. 5:1-10
We strive to make our lives as good as possible. This includes eliminating challenges and hardships. We want our life to be as full of fun as possible before it’s over. The truth is, death isn’t the enemy. The trajectory of our life isn’t down….it’s up.
2 Cor 4:1-18
Because of who Paul has built his life upon he knows how to act. He’s not fearful of losing everything because the core of his life can’t be stolen or destroyed. Paul has discovered what allows him to face the crushing challenges that come his way.
2 Cor. 1:1-2:11
Paul writes he “felt the sentence of death.” Severe physical danger and deep emotional pain surrounded him. While Paul is facing that in Asia, back in Corinth, the church he planted is turning against him. They are angry for his pastoral challenges to their lifestyle. False teachers are spreading misinformation to create distrust of Paul. During all this pain Paul holds onto comfort that comes from Jesus Christ.

2 Cor. 1:1-2:11
As we wrap up our "rooted" series, we'll look at the 6th expression of God's love: service. It's a loaded word, but it's at the heart and message of Jesus. Join us as we lean in to what it looks like to be rooted in service.
What if I told you that Jesus' greatest gift in this life is something you sometime's dread? What if, instead of dread, you could be part of the solution? You are a gift. We need each other to experience the best God has to offer in this life. It all happens in community.
Matthew 28:16-20
God has a mission in the world and He wants to use us in it. The good news is we aren’t left along in this endeavor. Christ promises to be with us every step of the way. We get to partner with God’s work in the world!
Matthew 13:44-46
Generosity can make us feel good, but often we like to keep our stuff. If you grew up in church you’ve heard of tithing. Giving 10% of your income to the church. The tithe is a good starting point, but the Bible doesn’t stop at the tithe. The Bible teaches generosity. We are asked to live open-handed with all we have. The generosity Jesus called us to looks like giving our time, talents and treasures joyfully
Engaging with God’s presence. It’s more than speaking words to God. It takes listening. It takes spending time with. It takes responding to how He leads. Jesus centered Himself on God’s presence. He often spent his mornings alone with His Heavenly Father. God reminded Jesus of His identity and what direction to go in life. Without spending time with God Jesus would have lost His way. We need God’s presence too so we don’t lose our way.
Knowing the heart of God begins with knowing the Word of God. As we begin our new series, Rooted, we'll take a look at Matthew 4:1-11 as Jesus is tempted in the garden. He's temped, as we are to bite the apple of self-gratification, self-protection, and self-exaltation. How does He, and how can we overcome it?
You plug in a destination on your phone. Your app tells you how many miles and hours it will take. Then, you notice there are toll roads…you wonder if you can save money by choosing a differing route. How we spend our money is similar to how we think about toll roads on the highway. How can money help us get where we want to go?
The carpool (or HOV) lane can transform a slow grind through traffic into a fun cruise. As long as you have someone else in the car you can take advantage of this lane. In life, we also want others to go with us. Life is better together. How can we find friends and form friendships?
Work. Most people hate Mondays as evidenced by the slogan and many self-help books dedicated to making your job more enjoyable. What if we have work all wrong? How can we see work as a gift instead of a trap?
We live in a world full of words. Everyone has something to say and wants to say it immediately. This mostly leads to outrage as everyone fights to be heard. Wise people don’t follow the same rules of speech that everyone else does. How can we talk so we are heard?
Wisdom calls out on highways, in the middle of shopping malls, and through your social feed, yet we don’t hear her. She’s asking us to get off the highway fools take and follow her. Wisdom is an exit only because we have to choose it. Why should we choose wisdom?
Peace is an elusive thing. That is, unless the source of your peace comes not from human effort but from the Prince of Peace. We celebrate the first Advent as we await the final fulfillment of Isaiah's prophesy at the second Advent, the second coming of Christ.
Isaiah 91-7
Thinking of God as our father can bring us joy or pain. We all have experiences with our earthly fathers that translates to how we see God. Regardless of how good or bad your dad was, your bar is set too low. Turn off your cynicism for a few minutes to hear what God wants to give to you this year.
Isaiah 9:1-7
We all need a good human counselor because we all face challenges in life. A good counselor can give us perspective, patience, and a plan. But, at some point we need the Wonderful Counselor because we need hope. Our plans get in the way of His plans and cause us to miss what He’s doing in and through us.
Join Justin as he walks us through the final message in our series, "What Happens on Sunday."
Hebrews 10:19-25
Why do Christians gather for services? Why every week? Why usually on Sundays? Why go in-person if I can just watch online? We ask these questions, and ones like it, because getting together on Sunday seems strange. There are so many other things we could do with our time that Sunday morning church doesn’t seem all that important. But maybe, Sunday church does something good for our mind, body, and soul.
Justin encourages us to see a bigger vision for what happens when we gather on Sunday.
Following God means committing to Him over the course of your life.
The land has been conquered. The mission is accomplished. So…now what? God still has dreams and plans for His people that will come in time. The threat to those future plans is complacency. Joshua ends with a charge because it can be easy to grow complacent. When one major task is accomplished we grow comfortable instead of staying hungry for more. God still has a world to win back, and He wants to use us!

God’s strength justice and mercy give us strength and courage to do the right thing.
By this point, you’ve probably wondered why God is so violent in the Old Testament. Israel marches through the Promised Land destroying people and places as they go. Joshua seems like a far cry from the grace we see from Jesus in the New Testament. Actually, God displays mercy throughout the story of Joshua. In fact, Joshua shows God’s mercy is bigger than you think.
God always finds a way forward especially when the odds are stacked against you.
Israel has a battle to win, but the enemy flees and the day is growing short. They need a little more time. Joshua asks God to stop the sun from setting, and He does! When it seemed impossible to finish the task at hand God made a way for His people. God still makes the impossible possible.
Right after a major victory at Jericho things go downhill. Israel surprisingly loses their next battle. The reason: sin. One person disobeyed God and threatens to derail the entire mission. God deals seriously with this sin because sin is that serious. Sin is communal. We like to only think about what sin does to us as an individual. Sin hurts everyone even if it doesn’t practically appear to be.
You can join God’s side or fight against Him; the choice is yours.
Jericho, the first obstacle in the Promised Land is on the horizon. God has a battle plan that makes no sense as a military strategy. As Joshua learns from an angel, God’s battle plan has been underway for a long time. You are either for God or against Him. The Christian life is not about convincing God to be on our side, but about getting on God’s side.
Part 2 of our series, Onward | Into the Unknown - Joshua 3-4:
God does what you’ve never seen before when you follow Him where you’ve never been before.
The time has finally come to cross the Jordan River! Once Israel steps into the Promised Land things change for them. God is still the same, but the situation is different which calls for a new approach. Israel is no longer wanderers but settlers. They have to trust God to show them the way. Remembering what God has done for them will provide the strength to move forward.
Strength and courage come from the God who is with you.
Part one of Onward - a journey through Joshua.
40 years ago, Israel stood at the banks of the Jordan River. God’s promises and purpose lay before them. When they heard how difficult conquering the land would be they chose fear over faith, and discourage over courage. They looked at their own power instead of God’s power, which He’d shown time and time again. 40 years later, Joshua has returned with a new generation of Israelites. This time will be different because they chose strength and courage from God!
Idols are a thing of the past, right? Maybe not as much as you think. Justin explores the role of idols in our lives in the final week of our series, Blazes.

We're children of God...so what? How we live as children of God in this world reflects an image of Jesus to the world. The question becomes, are we presenting an accurate picture? Executive Minister, Rodney Booe guides us to answers from 1 John 3:11-18.
As we gather around a campfire, we do so with a close group of people. As darkness and coldness grow around us, we naturally gravitate toward each other and toward the fire. It's not difficult to see that our world is growing darker. As we look to 1 John 3:1-10, we will find great encouragement as we navigate this world together as children of God.
Justin Dewell wraps up the 1st of 3 Summer Series, Spark. Discipleship - I am pouring into others and am being poured into as well.
What would happen if we change our thinking from what we "have" to do to what we "get" to do? Spoiler alert: Almost everything. Justin Dewell explores this and more as he wraps up the 3-part series, Spark.
Confession is the spark that leads to forgiveness in Christian community. This week, we launch a new series studying 1 John, and we see how darkness of sin is displaced by the God of Light when we live in authentic Christian fellowship.
What does the God expect of us as a congregation as we work together as Church Leaders, Ministers, and Members. Justin Dewell, wraps up our series, expectations by looking again at 1 Peter to unpack what this looks like for us today.
We all have expectations of others, but we often fail to think about the expectations others have for us. This week, Just Dewell explores 1 Peter to help us understand what God expects for us as a congregation and, ultimately, what He expects of us as a Christ follower.
Justin Dewell begins his ministry at Campbellsville Christian Church, and he opens his time in the pulpit by explaining what we can expect from him as our new Preaching Minister. We are excited to have Justin join our church family!

As we celebrate the incredible mothers in our midst this year, Richie Kessler, a deacon and Sunday Morning Bible Study teacher at CCC, points us to the Biblical example of motherhood demonstrated by Mary, the mother of Jesus.
Open doors lead to unexpected gospel opportunities. Our preaching minister candidate, Justin Dewell, shares a message from Paul's missionary journeys that can help us approach the closed and open doors we encounter.
Hope in the waiting - it can be challenging in even the best of circumstances. How do we maintain hope when God's restoration doesn't match our schedule? Caleb Buddemeyer walks us through our next Psalm as we learn how to practice hope in the God who comes through time and again.
We teach our kids to look both ways before crossing the street, but all too often we make decisions that impact our families, neighbors and church without stopping to look around and ask, "Is God in it?" Rodney Booe, our executive minister, explores how we can ensure that we are building churches, homes and lives on a solid foundation.
We're kicking off a new series diving into the Songs of Ascent. Our student minister, Caleb Buddemeyer, starts our journey in Psalm 133, as we explore how to live as a unified, but diverse, body of believers.
What do you do with a resurrection? Our executive minister, Rodney Booe, walks us through the disciples' response to a man who conquers death.
