News & Updates

Fitting the laid back days of summer leading up to Father’s Day, I was throwing a baseball at my son.  Don’t worry.  Michael caught the sphere with his leather glove and threw it back.   This was classic, old school “playing catch” with my boy.  We were playing in our fussed-over, chemically induced front yard.  Neighbors would drive by with a cautionary speed, and wave hearty congratulations to my obvious fatherdom.  Awesome.  It was life in the burbs as meant to…

Just Like Elijah “My name is Alan and I have a problem” June 10, 2012 Alan Scott (lead pastor, CCC) Discussion Questions 1.  Can you name a movie where the end is shown first, and then the rest of the movie explains how you got there? Do you like those kinds of movies?  Why or why not? 2.  Read Revelation 21:1-5.  How does the end of the Bible inform the rest of God’s revelation?  How does the ending of God’s…

It’s a high probability that while you are reading this, the Scotts will be tearing up I-75 from Florida… back to the ATL.  We hope to get back home around 7 p.m. on tonight… Friday.   I’ve been on my annual summer study break, and it’s been one of the best on record. I really am excited to gather you on Sunday to teach.  I hope you’ll be there.  We’re in week two of our new “Just Like Elijah” series (I…

Just Like Elijah “Elijah… A man with just enough faith” June 3, 2012 Joe Braun (Community Groups Pastor, CCC) DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1.  Think through your favorite superheros.  What do you find most admirable about them?  In what areas can you identify with them, or be like them?  What areas do you feel are impossible to be like them? 2.  Read Matthew 17:1-11.  What do you think Peter, James, and John thought they were getting into on the way up to…

June 3, 2012 Have you ever read a section of scripture for years and years, and thought you knew it pretty well?  If someone were to ask you about it, you could talk at length about the details and the plot twists and characters. Yea, well that’s how I felt about this section of scripture too.  But it turns out that I didn’t know it all that well.  Well, I knew the “story”, but not much about the subtleties and,…

Have you ever wondered how things happen in this world? Is it cause and effect, luck or God? I think it is a combination of all three. However we as followers of Jesus have an ace in the hole and that is PRAYER. John 16:23-25 In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. Until now you have not asked for anything in my…

May 18, 2012 Have you ever seen a dramatic re-enactment of the ascension? You know what I’m talking about, right? When Jesus floated up to heaven 40 days after His resurrection, they had to find an appropriate label for an incredibly strange sight. Seems “The Ascension” has stuck. I’ve witnessed grown men in heavy make-up and questionable beards hoisted into the air with groin challenging harnesses and hardly hidden cables. The whiz of the winch lifting “Jesus” into the curtains…
