As we step into our second installment on our study of the book of Revelation, we are jumping into the 2nd Recapitulation of the book of Revelation. This 2nd Perspective will give us a look at some amazing things to come such as the Rapture, and the difference between the Tribulation and the Wrath.

This week we will round out our series on what Jesus meant by the term He used for the church, "Ekklesia."
We're back!!! Thank you for staying faithful over our five-week break, and we are so excited to be back for the spring of 2024! This week we are doing a deep dive into God's heart for the church, and we are going to Genesis to reveal what God desires for His church to look like.
We are taking a deep-dive into why we celebrate Christmas the way that we normally celebrate it in the 21st Century. Why do we have a Christmas tree? When was Jesus actually born?
This week we will dive into a conversation that I got to have with a fellow volunteer wrestling with the aspect of those who have never heard and end up going to hell.
This week in our look at Savage Jesus in conjunction with the Christmas season, we will look at how Jesus confronts the things in our lives that we seek for comfort.
Happy Thanksgiving from us here at the It's Okay Podcast to you and your loved ones. This week we are continuing in on our series looking at the "savage" side of Jesus. This week we are looking at his teachings on the reality of Hell.
This week on the It's Okay Podcast, we are beginning a four-week look at Savage Jesus. A Jesus that stands for the Truth and confronts the view that Jesus was a hippy pacifist. We will be dealing with the challenge by some modern megachurch pastors who say, "Jesus never took a stand on social issues." We will look at the Scripture and see for ourselves.
This week as we continue our dive into our year of Just Jesus, we are looking at Hebrews 11 & 12 to bring some perspective on the holiday of Halloween.

This week we will launch into our 2023-2024 series focused on Just Jesus!!! We will kick it off by jumping into the parables of Jesus over the next few weeks.
This week on the It's Okay Podcast we are tackling the prevalent issue of "Can You Trust Your Bible?"
We apologize for missing the last few weeks, but we are back from vacations and summer camp and we want to highlight this aspect of fighting for freedom in light of July being the month that we celebrate Independence Day.
This week we will follow up on our series looking at Biblical Leadership through the lens of Jacob in Genesis. We will address some key takeaways that Biblical leaders should be integrating into how they conduct themselves as well as how they should manage.
This week we are beginning a 2-part series on Biblical Leadership as we look at the life of Jacob as he returns to the place of his promise.
This week we will be looking at Revelation 20 where we ended up last week at the conclusion of our Orginal Design series. We will be looking at one of the two debate topics that pop up in Revelation, the Millennial Reign of Christ. We believe that by looking at the Scripture in the proper context, there is hope to getting a firm understanding of this passage.
In the final installment in our series on God's Original Design, and how that plays itself out in light of the fallen world, we are going to look at the person of Satan. There are many portrayals of Satan, but we need to submit everything under the authority of Scripture in order to conclude a proper view of this individual.
Today we continue our look at God's Original Design, and we are looking at the God-ordained relationship of marriage. Specifically, we want to talk about divorce and remarriage, and where they align with God's Original Design.
This week on the podcast, we are following up on our conversation on the created order with regard to women! Today we will focus on these knit-pick passages that many will take out of context and apply to womanhood. We need a consistent Biblical perspective on womanhood.
This week we will jump into our breakdown of Biblical Womanhood. We will tackle the passage of Proverbs 31, "The Woman Who Fears the Lord."
This week we will round out our thoughts on Biblical Masculinity. We will focus this week on the virtue of Strength.
This week on the It's Okay Podcast we are looking at the three virtues of a Godly Man. In a world where there is a war on gender and masculinity in our culture today. It's important that we remind ourselves of what Scripture teaches about Biblical masculinity and what men are called to be. We're called to fight against the cultural trends and tides that are driven by Satan.
After completing our study on the creation mandate(Genesis 1 & 2) coupled with the complication of the Fall(Genesis 3), we are now digging into some of the realities that come from those passages. This week our focus is on Biblical Masculinity. What does mean to really be a man of God?
This week on the It's Okay Podcast we are completing our look at the creation mandate by digging into the Fall of humanity and the introduction of sin into the reality of God's creation. We will have an expository study of Genesis 3 setting the stage for some more in-depth studies moving forward.
This week on the It's Okay Podcast we will do an expository breakdown of Genesis 1 & 2, and focus on the Creation Mandate(Adamic Covenant). We will set the groundwork before jumping into a few months of Biblical Masculinity & Womanhood.
This week we will dig into the books of the major and minor prophets. We will look at an overview and application of these books for someone who is under the New Covenant.
This week we are again going beyond the flannelgraph by looking at a section of Scripture that we have probably all heard from, which is out of Mark 3:3-19 when Jesus calls specifically the twelve disciples to follow Him.
This week we will have the opportunity to interview a young man, who had his dreams drastically altered. We will look at what it means to trust God, even when the plan doesn't seem to work out.
This week we will be looking at a passage of scripture in Philippians 1, and we will have an expositional breakdown of it.
This week we will study a beautiful Psalm of worship, Psalm 25, as well as do a word study on the Hebrew word for "wait."
This week we are doing a direct follow-up to our series on the books of Wisdom. We will be investigating the book of Job. Specifically, we are addressing what the book of Job teaches us about handling situations that are unfair and seemingly unjust.
This week we will look at the practical way of finding God's wisdom in the Bible. This is a practical, "how to use your Bible to determine wisdom," podcast.
This week we are going to look at what happens when we pull the veil off of our frustrations, and then look at what Scripture instructs us to do.
This week we will be looking at some of the things that may hinder you from stepping into a new season of life that God is calling you towards. We will be looking at Exodus 32 in order to investigate this concept.
Today we are going to look at the real person of Elijah in the Old Testament. We will be looking at a point in his life where he was directly being attacked by the enemy through various individuals and means. The enemy wants you to stop pursuing Jesus at whatever cost, but he had three main methods of doing just that: invisibility, insignificance, and intimidation.
Happy Halloween! Today we are going to look at the beauty of responding to a calling through the lens of Abraham, a man totally ill-equipped for the calling God placed on his life. Here's the beauty of God. He works so much better with someone who will say, "YES," versus someone who is equipped. Will you place your yes on the table?
This week we will be digging into one of Jesus' final teachings that he taught prior to his crucifixion.
This week we will be looking at the question, "As a Christian, how do you feel about the Big Bang Theory?" We will look at this from an Apologetics perspective. We will argue that the best conclusion for the existence and cause of the universe is a personal God without even using the Scriptures.
In preparation for Field's of Faith, we are going to have a second installment to our overlook of Mark 5. Last week, we focused on Jesus sparing no expense to get to you. Today we will focus on what happens when we make the active decision to come to Him.
We are getting excited and expectant about hosting our first major evangelical event on October 5th at our new location for the Community Church of Mt. Pleasant. Field's of Faith is an event put on by our great local partners known as Fellowship of Christian Athletes. The message that night will come from Mark 5. Today is part one of a two-part look at the message from Mark 5. This week we will focus on the fact that Jesus spared no expense to come after you, whereas next week we will focus on our response to the expense that Jesus paid to reach us.
This week we are focusing on a direct follow-up with Jesus' "Feeding of the 5,000." We will look at a piece of Scripture known as "Jesus Walks On The Water." Both of these passages have an immense capacity to give us clarity on how to operate from a Christian Worldview.
This week on the It's Okay Podcast, we are focusing on the idea of bringing a fresh perspective into your 2022-2023. We will look at one of the most well-known pieces of Jesus' ministry, and look at how Jesus exemplifies a Godly perspective as well as how He instructs His disciples to grow a Godly perspective.
We want to continue rounding out the summer by doing another expositional piece on the life of David. We will look at 1 Samuel 24, which is an amazing piece that looks at a time when David is under immense pressure. It is a time when we see David with the opportunity to take a shortcut, and how he processes that decision.
This week we will investigate a beautiful, often quoted, Psalm of David, number 37. But it is also an opportunity to interview a phenomenal young man, who is young in his faith, thriving in the midst of a season of transition. It's a great encouragement for all of us to hear.
This week we are looking at a piece of scripture from 1 Samuel 13. We are looking at the Slide of King Saul, and what happens when we go through a challenging season but end up making the season that much harder by compounding our sin.
This week we take a look at Hebrews 6 and look at how it can bring us comfort during a challenging transition in our life.
This week we will discuss the idea of shaping the world for Christ as opposed to being shaped by the world. In order to walk out our identity in Christ, it is essential for us to learn what it means to be ambassadors of hope in a lost world.
One of the most misunderstood aspects of God is the person of the Holy Spirit. There are many who have a greater fear of the Holy Spirit than they do of the devil. Today we want to practice by coming to Jesus in order to see what He said about the Holy Spirit.
Today is a great opportunity for our team to reflect on our recent summer camp experience. But, even greater than that reflection, is our ability to come out of a season of being in close proximity with Jesus and apply that season to places God has positioned us in our everyday.
Following up our focus on the Roe v. Wade repeal, we are focusing this week on the three greatest stumbling blocks to the application of the Christian worldview. Maybe these three challenges are holding you back from taking your next step with Christ. Maybe they are keeping you from having a relationship with Jesus. Or, maybe they are simply places in your walk that you are wrestling with. We want to address these three areas and respond to them by presenting the Gospel.
We have a choice to make. We have two paths that we can take. We have two master's that we can follow. But, Jesus has made it clear, "that we cannot serve two masters: for either we will hate the one, and love the other; or else we will hold to the one, and despise the other." -Luke 16:13. The "world" stands before each of us as an option to listen too, a path to take, and an opinion of how we should live. But, so does King Jesus and the Scripture that He lived His life affirming. The choice is ours. Who will we follow?
In light of the recent Roe v. Wade decision in which the Supreme Court of the United States overturned, we want to have a real conversation about the situation. Regardless of where you fall on the spectrum of the abortion debate(Pro-Choice vs. Pro-Life), we want to help give you clarity on this hot topic logically as well as from the Scripture but we also want to help you be able to use this as an opportunity to draw people to Jesus. What is the point of having these conversations if all we do is win arguments, but don't help people get closer to knowing King Jesus? We believe that you can both.
Happy 4th of July weekend from CCMP! As we celebrate and reflect on the beauty of liberty, it's good for us to grow in our understanding of what Scripture says real freedom looks like as well as empowers us to do. We need to celebrate our freedom. We need to stand fast in our freedom. And, we need to train our eyes to keep looking forward at Christ, the founder of our freedom.
This week we break down, in an expository manner, one of the most famous teachings of Jesus of Nazareth from Mark 4. The Parable of the Sower.
What is your NEXT STEP? Here at CCMP, one of our biggest desires is to see you become more and more conformed to the image of Jesus. One of the ways that we can do that is by giving you the opportunity to follow Christ in believer's baptism. Today we want to paint a clearer picture of what that looks like and why, as a church in 2022, we still do this in order to help you decide, "Is it for me?" God has a next step for each of us. The question is, "Are you ready to take it?"
We are here today to finish our look at how to meet people where they are at, and finish our study of John 4. Last week we saw Jesus lay the groundwork for his conversation with the woman at the well, and now we will see Him follow through and bring the conversation back home.
This week will look at the practical side of meeting people where they are at. We will learn from the master, King Jesus, in John chapter 4 as He stops in the midst of His journey to meet someone on the way.
As we start a new two-part series, we ask ourselves the question, "What does it mean to live missionally for Jesus?" Many of us have mistakenly placed our idea of missions into something that we simply do when it truly is an intimate part of who we are. As we will find out today from God's first calling of Moses, genuine missional action starts when we bring God what we already have and learn how to use it His way.
An expository look at Hebrews 12:1-2 in order to help us understand the reason why, after we have professed faith, we struggle in the day-to-day walking out of our faith.
A real conversation about our necessity to draw close to God, and the impact that will have on our community. We will look at this through the lens of the current Roe v. Wade conversation happening in Washington, D.C., and how this situation gives us the opportunity to bring it all back to Jesus.
We are so excited to be going through Discover CCMP with you all this Sunday. Discover CCMP is our church's way of formally introducing ourselves to you. You'll hear about our beginnings and where we're going. You'll discover what we believe and what we're all about as a church. We are here to help you live a free and restored life through the death and resurrection of Christ, and ultimately to equip you to unleash the Holy Spirit through your life.
Happy Mother's Day to all of the wonderful ladies in our midst! We will press into our final installment today in our study of the book of Ruth. Last week, we established the desperate need of Ruth and Naomi's situation, but ultimately we saw a beautiful foundation of love and loyalty that Ruth responded with. This week, we will see how that foundation of faith, love, and loyalty will set the groundwork for triumph.
As we prepare to honor the women in our life a week from today, we cast our focus on the life of one of the most influential women in the Bible, Ruth. The way we deal with the hardest moments in our lives will ultimately be determined by the quality of relationships that we surround ourselves with. Do you know your people have your back even in the difficult seasons? That's a good way to determine if they are pulling you toward Jesus or pulling you away from Jesus. The right people aid in your pursuit of Jesus.
As we press on from our celebration of the resurrection of Christ, we are going to take some time to remember with thankful hearts what Christ has accomplished for us, refresh ourselves by communing with the Holy Spirit, and recommit ourselves to living with expectancy as we pursue Christ. We will be taking part in one of the only two church ordinances that Jesus required us to partake in, Communion. As you watch online we would ask that, if you have a relationship with Christ, you would join in with us too.
Week 1 of our It's Okay Podcast, a podcast about the Bible, culture, and the Christian worldview in order to let you know that you are gonna be okay.
t is Palm Sunday at CCMP! Above all others, people who know Jesus should be people who are expectant about what God is going to do next. He has laid His promises out for us. He will protect, position, and prepare us on the way. But, what is our response to those promises? Join us today to see three ways that we should respond to the promises of our Waymaking God because we believe that He desires to make a way in you and through you.
We are officially two weeks from Easter Sunday when we will celebrate the day that resurrection took place, victory was won, and a new life began! Our goal leading up to that is to understand that God not only made the ultimate way for us on that first Easter, but that He will continue to make a way for us in the midst of a broken world. This week we are looking at one of God's promises and beginning to understand that even when our lives feel ordinary, God is growing us according to His perfect and beautiful plan.
In our final installment in our series on Judges, we conclude with the continual struggle that Samson has with his flesh, the ladies in his life, the compromises and shortcuts that he takes along the way, and the shame and humiliation that is faced. But, in the end, only God can get the glory. No matter where you are in your walk with Christ, we hope that this series reminds you of the fact that you are heard, remembered, and God has the strength to give to you. He truly is the way, the truth, and the life.
As we continue to breakdown and apply our study of the Book of Judges, we have reached our final judge, Samson! A man of great strength and great blessings. Much like many of us, due to the fact that we live in the United States, we are blessed beyond measure. But, Samson also struggles with the deep-seated desires of his flesh, which we see hinders the sustained blessings of the Lord. God wants to and will liberate you from the desires of your flesh, and Samson's story will help us understand that truth.
As we press on into our study of the book of Judges, we see Gideon this week in a place of action. No longer is asking for signs, but now he is in the place of action. But, so often when we are in the midst of the action, the smallest details are what make the greatest impact. In the midst of our action that takes place throughout our weeks, are we listening to God's still small voice to direct the smallest details that will have the most lasting impact in our lives? God is up to something in your life, how will you respond to His promptings?
In our part two installment of our study through the book of Judges, we will now look at the Judge, Gideon. We are still caught up in the cycle of the age of the Judges that we identified with last week. This week we will see what Gideon does right, where he struggles, and ultimately answer the question of "What does it mean to take God at His Word?"
As we step into our new expository series that will take us through the book of Judges. We will look at the people of Israel's cycle of behavior: idolatry, bondage, repentance, deliverance, and rest. In our own lives, we find that many of us are the culmination of habitual tendencies. These tendencies are the cycles that keep us locked into certain mindsets. The goal of this series is to not only identify the cycles that are keeping you in bondage but to also show you that God will continue to pursue you. All it takes is repentance to experience the deliverance of Jesus.
As we continue in our Valentine's Day series focused on finding liberty in our relationships, we lean today into the routine maintenance that can aid in helping our relationships function on all cylinders.
As we seek to define love from a Biblical foundation, Pastor David points to various core examples that will give us a clear-cut model of what Biblical love is meant to resemble.
Directly following our foundational series on the Gospels and Christ as our firm foundations, today we look inward and reflect on what are the next action steps that we need to take regarding our relationship with Christ. As we look at the book of Colossians, the Apostle Paul challenges us to take off certain things in order to put on what we were created and meant to look like in the first place.
In our epic conclusion to Pastor Snow's 2022 launching series, we cover what ultimately matters most when we are establishing a firm spiritual foundation that we can be victorious from in 2022. The key is KEEPING CHRIST FIRST!
As we are pressing into establishing a firm foundation for our relationships with Jesus in 2022, we have our third installment of our Starting Line Series. This week our focus is the foundation of resisting temptation. We all have the freedom to resist because of the foundation and identity that Jesus has given us. You can defeat the sin in your life. It starts with your ability to pursue Truth.
As we are continuing to press into starting off our 2022 with a firm Spiritual Foundation, we turn our attention to the need for an acknowledgment of Christ's authority in our own lives.
It's a new year. It's a new time for a fresh start. Your relationship with Christ is what will ultimately determine if it's a successful year in 2022 or not. If you're looking for a place to start fresh this year, then the Gospels would be the perfect place to start.
As we finish our celebration and focus on getting back to the basics of the holidays, we reflect on the fact that we cannot settle for what God has already done. God brought Jesus into the world to give us the ability to be people of action. We need to focus on the tasks ahead and the commission that He's laid on all of our lives until the day that He returns or we pass on to be with our savior.
As we continue to celebrate and simplify the Christmas season, Pastor Snow challenges us to remember why we are a people who are to be excited and expectant. Because God brought Jesus into this world, and with Jesus also the gifts of hope, peace, joy, and love.
As we continue to reflect on getting back to the simple but profound truth that comes wrapped up at Christmas, we wanted to take some time to share about our journey for the coming season. There is no mistaking the people that God has positioned in this family, and we all are in need of bringing our finest gifts to the feet of Jesus in order to take our next steps together.
Relational balance in a nation focused on busyness can be a reality when we put God's original design in place. Reordering our relational priorities according to the Scriptures is pivotal, and the Christmas season gives us a natural time to slow down in order to address those imbalances.
