Christ Community Church | East Taunton: Recent Episodes
Christ Community Church
Welcome to podcasts from Christ Community Church East Taunton. We are a community of people learning to live like Jesus and helping others do the same. Visit us online at www.cccfamily.com and join us on Saturdays at 5:00PM and Sunday at 9:00AM & 11:00AM
In Psalm 121, we’re reminded that no matter where we are in life—whether in seasons of blessing, hardship, or uncertainty—the Lord is watching over us. Our help doesn’t come from what we have or what surrounds us, but from the God who made heaven and earth.
As we look at the highs, lows, and tomorrows of life, we can trust that God is present, sustaining us and keeping us. Because of Jesus, we have the hope of knowing that God is with us now and will ultimately bring us home to Him.
“The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.” — Psalm 121:8
In this message from Psalm 23, we’re reminded that we can have peace in the middle of a chaotic world because Jesus is our Shepherd. Instead of living restless and overwhelmed by our circumstances, we can trust His provision, follow His direction, find restoration for our souls, and rest in His presence.
Jesus is our provider, peace, restorer, protector, guide, defender, and life giver. No matter what we face, we can rest assured in Jesus, our Lord, knowing that He is with us and has already gone ahead of us.
What does it really mean to live a blessed life? In this message from Psalm 1, we explore what it means to be rooted in God’s Word and planted beside the streams of living water.
A blessed life isn’t defined simply by health, finances, success, or circumstances. It begins with where we are rooted. We’re challenged to reject the wisdom and ways of the world, delight in God’s Word, meditate on it, and remain connected to Christ and His people.
When our roots are healthy, our lives produce healthy fruit—even through difficult seasons. So ask yourself: Where are you rooted? Are you spiritually dry or filled with living water? What kind of fruit is your life producing?
Stay rooted in the Word and stop rotting in the world.
How do we drift from a passionate faith without even realizing it? In this message, we conclude The Struggle Is Real series by exploring Jesus' letter to the church in Laodicea (Revelation 3:14–22). Discover why spiritual complacency is so dangerous, how it quietly pulls us away from Christ, and how Jesus lovingly calls us back into a vibrant relationship with Him.
Learn how to recognize the signs of complacency, stay anchored in God's Word, and live a faith that brings healing, refreshment, and hope to those around you.
Key Takeaway: Complacent faith plays it safe, but courageous faith stays close to Jesus and transforms lives.
What does it really mean to be content? In this message from Luke 12:13–21, we explore Jesus' Parable of the Rich Fool and the warning against greed, reminding us that life is not measured by our possessions but by our relationship with God.
Discover how discontentment fuels greed, why our culture constantly pushes us to want more, and how biblical contentment leads to true freedom. You'll also learn how generosity becomes an act of worship that breaks the grip of materialism and helps us trust God as our ultimate provider.
Whether you're struggling with finances, comparison, or simply chasing "the next thing," this sermon offers practical, biblical encouragement to live with open hands and a heart fully satisfied in Christ.
What if lust is about more than sexual temptation?
In this message from our The Struggle Is Real series, we discover that lust is any God-given desire that grows into an obsession and begins to take God's place in our hearts. Whether it's success, money, relationships, comfort, approval, or sexual sin, every one of us wrestles with misplaced desires.
Through God's Word, we learn how healthy longings can become destructive idols—and how Jesus offers redemption, healing, and freedom.
We boldly reach our world with the hope of Jesus—one life, one story, one soul at a time. We walk with people as they renew their faith, find healing from life’s wounds, and rediscover the grace that restores. We intentionally invest in raising up disciples—equipping them to live out their God-given purpose with confidence and conviction. We joyfully release people into their calling, sending them out to reach the world with the love and truth of Christ.

BLESS / WEEK 1
We are blessed to be a blessing! Think of how God has blessed you, not just in material ways but in spiritual and eternal ways too.
Authentic faith is a faith that people can see in action. Authentic faith is seen in our ongoing transformation, kindness, forgiveness, treatment of others, and a consistent faith in Jesus.
Pray for the people God has placed in your life, such as friends, family members, neighbors, and others. Ask God to soften their hearts, and to prepare you to serve them for His purposes and not your own. Ask God for opportunities to bless them, for the Holy Spirit to draw them to Him. We pray for the Holy Spirit to show us ways we can bless them. Start with a list of 3-5 people who you can BLESS!

DIY—Your Faith | Week 1 | How to Pray
There are two types of people: those who DIY everything and those who DIY nothing.
Some of us take pride in doing everything ourselves—whether it's fixing a leaky faucet, repairing a car, or even tackling major home renovations. With countless YouTube tutorials at our fingertips, it seems like anything can be DIY’d.
Then there are those who hear the phrase “don’t try this at home” and take it to heart, applying it to every aspect of life.
When it comes to faith, we often treat it the same way. Some of us try to figure it out all on our own, while others rely entirely on someone else—pastors, mentors, or teachers—to guide every step.
But here’s the truth: God has already given us everything we need—the resources, wisdom, power, and the ultimate instruction manual, His Word—to DIY our faith. Our relationship with Jesus is personal, and we are called to take ownership of it.
Key Scriptures:
-
James 1:22 (NIV) — Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
-
Matthew 7:24 (NIV) — Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
You are not called to figure it all out alone, but you are called to take action.
Over the next several weeks, we’ll explore how to DIY our faith—how to pray, read the Bible, study Scripture, and apply its truths to our daily lives.
And the best news? We have the ultimate guide—the Holy Spirit—to lead us through it all.

Trusting God is vital to living by faith. It may seem like a contradiction to use the words trust and faith as two separate things. Many times our "faith" or relationship with God is limited in depth because of our limited trust. Trust is everything, Trust fuels our faith, our closeness, our obedience, Trust opens the door for a greater work of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

Amidst my 17,000 daily decisions, how can I live in the light of God's will for my life?
Jesus became a friend of sinners in order to BLESS them, we are to do the same. Guest Pastor Dave Ferguson, the author of BLESS, shares a special wrap up message to close out this sermon series.
In order to bless our neighbor, Jesus invites us to share how our story intersects with God's story.
Have you ever considered how “blessed” you are? Where did those blessings come from? Who did they come through?
The First Week of the BLESS Series - Jesus’ mission is to help people find their way back to God, and he lived out the B.L.E.S.S. practices (Begin with prayer, Listen, Eat meals together, Serve others and Share your story) showing us how to live out that mission too.
Prayer is one of the greatest gifts and greatest sources of strength that Jesus gives us. Yet many of us don’t know how to pray or fail to pray. So are you praying hard, or hardly praying?
Jesus gave up everything so that we can have everything. Losing = winning! What would we give up for happiness, hope, healing, joy and eternal life?
Did you have a favorite teacher growing up? What do you remember most about why he/she was your favorite? A common thread is often that the person was relatable and how they explained things connected with you. Jesus wasn't just the Savior sent to earth, He is also the #1 teacher. Jesus often used familiar pictures to convey deep spiritual truth. He left people changed through His teaching. Come and be changed with us!
Do you need a rest? This past year and current times have left many of us fatigued spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically. Lets seek the deep soul rest that God offers each of us.
For many the bible is a metaphor, a book of rules, or fairytale. Luke set out to reassure those who are reading his Gospel that everything we see in Jess is true and his story will change our story. Join us this weekend as we open our new sermon series The Greatest [Hi]Story Ever Told!
The God of the bible captures our attention because He sees, He hears and He delivers. How perfect is the song of the God’s redeemed people and we are to be reminded of the proper response - acceptance for eternal life and praise to Him.
In Part 2, the final message of the Grow Up Series, we continue in our healing journey and with the Pendulum of Peace.
Do you need healing in your life? Do you know where you can find true peace? As we finish up the Grow Up Sermon Series, we'll be focusing on healing.
In James chapter 4, we talking about what it looks like to follow God’s plans as opposed to following our own.
As we are in unprecedented times in our society, we work through finding a New Normal God's way.
With prayer being such an important part of our relationship with God, figuring out where to start and what to say can be overwhelming. In Matthew 6, Jesus gives his disciples and those listening a framework on how we can shape our communication with God through prayer.
Many of us are familiar with the Lord's Prayer but do you know how vital it is to our discipleship growth?
Understanding what a life of worship looks like is a vital part of our discipleship. In order to grow in our relationship with Jesus, we must practice worshipping & glorifying Him in every area of life.
Have you ever thought about how Jesus worshiped? We will learn how we should worship by studying how Jesus worshiped.
Scripture tells us we are what we worship. What does it mean to worship something and how do we follow what God wants for us?
When you hear the word "worship" what comes to mind? Worship is more than singing and playing music. Jesus calls us to worship in Spirit and in Truth, but what does that even mean? Too often, like the woman at the well, we find ourselves seeking satisfaction at many different wells but not finding it.
What does it mean to raise up someone? Is it like raising our kids or is it different? What does the Bible say about raising up someone?
This weekend we talk about what the previous year looked like and what 2020 could look like if we reached farther.
As we are nearing Christmas, have you been planning what you will be bringing to a holiday party you may be going to? Do you have a special dish you make? Or a host/hostess gift? As we celebrate Jesus, what is something we could bring for Him?
Have you invited someone along with you to church? Did you share with them who the Guest of honor is?
When we have a party, who do we invite? Who else is going? When we consider attending a party we ask some important questions. This weekend we'll see how these types of questions relate to a bible passage from Luke 14. We are so excited to be celebrating this Christmas season with you!
This weekend we begin a new Christmas sermon series! We will be celebrating together and invite you to join us.
David Nelms is from the The Timothy Initiative, a mission that is supported by CCC. He shares some exciting things happening to further the Kingdom of God.

Aaron is also a U.S. Army veteran who served two combat deployments to Iraq. In addition, he was awarded a bronze star for efforts during his deployment to Iraq in 2005. You will be blessed hearing his message!
We are discussing the Power of the Holy Spirit. My prayer was that this series leads to transformation in our lives and a movement of Christ in our area. We are experiencing this firsthand. Now our follow through is VITAL. It is important that we "fan into flame" the gift of the Holy Spirit.
What does freedom mean to you? What role does the Holy Spirit have in freedom from sin?
We all know to pray, but what role does the Holy Spirit play in our prayer life and what exactly does intercession mean?
What are we going to God with? And what are we holding back? This weekend we discuss how we look for and seek wisdom.
Week 3 of the Filled Series. Are you on Jesus' team or on a different team? Be transformed on Jesus' team with a new life!
Week 1 of the series Filled. We look at who the Holy Spirit is and God's desire for us to be filled to overflowing with His presence.
Everyone has been wronged in their life. But, by showing kindness to those who have wronged us, it will open the door to purification and redemption through Jesus Christ. Instead of seeking revenge, showing kindness when an injustice has happened is how God would have us respond to those who’ve wronged us.
Pastor Conrad continues our "When in Romans" series with a message title "Turning our Chairs."
