Community Covenant Church is a church plant in Mankato, MN. Our biggest desire is to help people connect to Jesus and help them connect Jesus to their world.
Do you long to be faith filled but find it hard to? Do you wish for more follow through and less fall through? Maybe you think, “I believe in God, but forgiveness is impossible.” Maybe you believe in God but are scared to share your faith. Or “I believe, but do I really have to be part of a church?” Join us as we try to move forward in belief and practice.

Is your to-do list overwhelming? Do you feel constant pressure to perform—at home, at work, even in your downtime? Sometimes it can feel like you’re barely keeping up.
Our culture pushes us to achieve, finish, and win—but what happens when it’s all too much?
In 2 Corinthians, we meet someone who knew that pressure firsthand. The apostle Paul faced expectations, criticism, and weakness—yet he discovered something surprising: God works most powerfully not through our strength, but through our weakness.
In our weakness we actually can access God's strength. How do we do that as a community?

AI and technology in general is changing our world. "The pace if change will never be as slower as it is today," and institutions we used to trust in are shifting and causing uncertainty and anxiety about our future.
Christ followers need to decern who and how to be in these times in order to stay connected to Jesus and to bring hope to those around us.
Join us as we explore wisdom, discernment, truth, and what it means to follow Jesus in an age of artificial intelligence.

Artificial Intelligence is everywhere. Engineers are using it to translate scripture into new languages. Have a theological question? You can ask ChatGPT for an answer-even from a specific Christian tradition. You can download a Chatbot and "talk" with Moses, Mary, Paul, or even Jesus.
At the same time, AI can generate videos of events that never even happened. People are forming relationships with AI companions. There are even support groups for those who have been deceived by artificial connections.
In a world where it's easier to ask ChatGPT than listen to the Holy Spirit, how should Christians respond?
Is AI just a tool-or shaping us in ways we don't yet see?

As Jesus rode into Jerusalem riding on a donkey, the crowds asked, who is this? Jesus had asked his disciples a similar question, "Who do people say that I am? And what about you? Who do you say that I am? What would you say?"
I think it's safe to assume that Jesus wants us to wrestle with that question. The way we answer influences our worship, our priorities, our resilience in suffering, and our love for others. Who we believe Jesus to be determines who we become. If Jesus is merely a teacher, we may admire his words and adopt a few of his ideas. If he is a moral example, we may try harder to imitate him. But if he is "The Son of David," The King who comes in the name of the Lord, then he is not someone to study-he is someone to trust, obey, and follow.
This Easter Sunday, we explore the question, "Why does the Resurrection Matter?"

How do we know if we are doing it correctly? In this 4 week series, we will utilize a tested and proven way to hear from God, our Bible. We will look at four different prayers about confession, honesty, hope, and unity.

Christmas can be a really busy time of the year. There's decorating, shopping (and more shopping!), office parties, baking cookies, cleaning, family gatherings, and holiday travel-to name a few. Add in the family, financial, and emotional stress that often comes with the season, and it all can start to feel overwhelming.
Sometimes it feels like your calendar is full, but your soul is empty.

God is on a mission to bless the world. God created us and invited us to be a part of the mission. God also created the Church, so that we can join together with other humans to accomplish that mission. In today's message, we're going to talk about two ways we can participate in God's mission as a church: prayer and church planting.

“Bless” is a word often used and rarely defined. Therefore, we want to try to study some of God’s blessings in Genesis. At the beginning, God blesses creatures with the capacity to flourish— to be fruitful, to multiply, and to abound. Every time we see life spreading and thriving in creation, it’s a sign of God’s blessing at work. Humans were given an additional blessing: responsibility over the earth. God invited humanity to be partners in extending blessing everywhere. Sometimes humans get it wrong and the blessing is distorted.
In this series, we’ll explore Genesis through the lens of blessing—what it means for us, and how we are called to live as participants in God’s blessing to the world.
This week we talk about passing on the blessing.

If you were to read through the Bible, you’d eventually reach the book of Revelation, where you encounter a strange world filled with images of swords, dragons, angels, bizarre beasts, and visions of the end of the world. Some have attempted to decipher a hidden code that will reveal secrets about the future. Others view it as a call to retreat from the world. But we believe it’s neither of these. Instead, Revelation serves as a wake-up call to radical discipleship in a broken world.

On Confirmation Sunday, we celebrate not only the students affirming their faith but also the calling for every believer, no matter their age, to live fully into their gifts and calling.
The message, based on 1 Timothy 4, emphasizes that spiritual maturity doesn’t happen overnight—it takes training, just like any skill or talent. Through personal stories of perseverance (in running, pole vaulting, and faith), Brian and Elijah illustrate that both physical and spiritual growth require intentional practice, discipline, and perseverance.

Life in biblical times was not easy. The Jewish people were longing for a Messiah—someone who would overthrow their Roman oppressors and restore the kingdom of Israel. On Palm Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem riding a donkey. Crowds welcomed Him like a king, laying down their cloaks and waving palm branches while shouting, “Save us!” Yet others stood by asking, “Who is this?”
Jesus came as the King who would usher in God’s kingdom on earth. But by Friday, He had been crucified. What happened to the King who arrived with such celebration?
Then, on Easter Sunday, the unthinkable happened—Jesus rose from the dead.
What does it all mean?
Today we talk about finding security in the resurrection.

How do move from temporary to eternal? And finally, how do we move from entitlement to thankfulness?

Planting Seeds: Empowering the Next Generation
Ever wondered what the secret is to passing down our faith to our kids and grandkids? Well, get ready, because we’re diving into it! We’re taking three weeks, to inspire and equip individuals and families within Crossview to embrace their role in passing down faith for future generations, laying a strong foundation for continued spiritual growth and transformation. We’ll chat about how we can make sure our spiritual legacy doesn’t just stop with us. It’s all about setting up our families for a lifetime of faith and growth. So, grab your coffee and join us as we figure out this whole ‘planting seed’ thing together!
Today we talk about how planting seeds of faith for future generations means God speaks to every person in every generation and we can listen to one another.
We also talk about different ways we hear from God. Here are some descriptions of common ways people hear from God:
Naturalist - I feel closest to God when I’m surrounded by what God has made – the mountains, forests, lakes, sea, gardens, a sunset. Experiencing God’s beauty and creativity in nature is more moving to me than learning new concepts about God, participating in a formal religious service or in social causes.
Intellectual - I feel closest to God when I am learning about God. I crave uninterrupted study time – reading God’s word or good Christian books – and welcoming the opportunity to share what I’ve learned by teaching or participating in discussion or debates.
Relational – I feel closest to God when I feel like I have “touched souls” with another person or a group of people, when we have shared deeply and honestly with one another. I feel like I learn more about God when I am studying, fellowshipping and worshipping with others.
Service – I feel closest to God when I am with a friend going through a difficult time, helping others in my community, volunteering at a local shelter or going on a mission trip. It means more to me to nurse someone to health, bring them a meal or repair their house than it does to teach a class or go on a prayer retreat.
Worshipper – I feel closest to God when I am involved in worship. I am energized, moved and nourished in deep ways through music and corporate acts of worship. Being with other believers, raising our voices together, praising our awesome God... it’s a taste of heaven!
Activist - I feel closest to God when I am standing up for justice and truth. I feel God’s pleasure when I am trying to help right wrongs, meet the needs of the poor and marginalized and make the world more like God intended it to be.
Solitude & Silence – I feel closest to God in solitude and silence. If I can escape for 30 minutes or more a day to a quiet place to pray, journal, read God’s Word, to be alone and uninterrupted with God, I’m happy and come away refreshed and strengthened.

A major focus for a young teenager is learning to think for oneself and develop their own identity. Confirmation sits at the cusp of this stage of life. The end goal of Confirmation is for students to learn, reflect, and affirm their faith, yet recognizing that following Jesus is a lifelong journey filled with these things. Confirmation is not the end, rather it is the beginning of this relationship with Jesus. Confirmation is meant to propel students into the next step of their faith journey.

Becoming a Beloved Community is a sermon series designed to equip, inspire, and challenge us to develop awareness, understanding, and action towards joining God in making things right in a broken world.
This week we talk about how disciples of Jesus Christ are called to build beloved community - diverse communities grounded in love. While there has been progress made toward beloved community, we have not yet arrived. To build beloved community as disciples, we must move from color-blind discipleship to color-courageous discipleship.

“Joy to the world” is a catchy lyric but can seem totally impossible when life feels messy. When we think “Christmas”, we think “joyful celebration”, but what happens when the holiday season doesn’t match what’s happening around us? Well, in this series we’re going to find a way to say, “joy to the world anyway”. We’ll discover that Christmas is a season of joy, even when life feels messy.

In the very beginning, people were created out of God's love, and God's creation was made to reflect and live out that love. Put another way, we were created to love God and love people. In the Old Testament, God chose Abraham to demonstrate that love. God said "I will bless you and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." In the New Testament, God sent Jesus to be a blessing to all people. At the end of Jesus’ ministry on earth, He invited his followers to join this mission of blessing others so that all people would be blessed. But what does it look like? How do we live that out in everyday life?

We had a system glitch this week that caused it to miss part of the sermon. You can listen to the part that we did capture.
How can we more fully participate in the story of God? We thrive as people when we read and study, meet and discuss it. In October 2021, we are going to use the Community Bible Experience to enter God’s story as a community. Both locations will be reading, studying, preaching and having small groups focus on the entire New Testament for 8 weeks.
We will read the New Testament as the authors wrote it, as a whole book, in chronological order, full of drama, healing, restoration, promise, community and victory over sin and death. This is for everyone: those who are new to the Bible, those that are well-versed and everyone in between. What a great time in history for us all to take time to get on the same page and focus on Jesus.

We will read the New Testament as the authors wrote it, as a whole book, in chronological order, full of drama, healing, restoration, promise, community and victory over sin and death. This is for everyone: those who are new to the Bible, those that are well-versed and everyone in between. What a great time in history for us all to take time to get on the same page and focus on Jesus.
Join us for Luke 4:1-13

We all face pressure. Whether it's your job performance, pressure to raise the perfect children, or just caring for elderly parents, finishing school, not letting your team down in sports or all of the above, it can feel like a lot. Add to that the pressure to conform to this world, or even the pressure to live a good life without breaking any rules, particularly God's rules. The message of Colossians is one of unraveling all the forces that keep us from living in freedom in a new community. It's about King Jesus at the center of our lives and how we can live into that reality as a community. Join us as we unravel life's pressure and focus on Jesus.

We might ask ourselves deeper things, like “Are my kids going to be okay?” or “What do people really think of me?” But we rarely take time to ask the BIG questions, like: “Is there more to life than this?” “What’s my purpose?” “How can I make the most of the rest of my life?” It’s time to ask Life’s Big Questions.
