About the Series: There was once a man that had such a profound effect on people that when they came face to face with him they walked away radically transformed. When someone had a personal encounter with Jesus, the blind could see, the lame could walk, the broken were restored, the fearful were emboldened. He still has that same effect today. In this series, we look at what happens when someone meets Jesus and give you practical ways to encounter him yourself.
Grace Comes Down

About the Series: "Let my people go!" With those words, God demonstrated to his long-suffering people that he keeps his promises, is all-powerful, and will deliver them into a freedom they only could have imagined. Many think of Exodus as a story of miracles like a burning bush, plagues of judgment, and a sea split in half. But that’s to miss the big truth that Exodus is written for God’s people today! To know the story is to see that the God of Moses has continued to work well after Moses to “let his people go” from a greater bondage by a greater grace – a grace we see and are blessed by in the story of Exodus.
Leisure: The Beauty of Rest

About the Series: Jesus came to establish God’s kingdom, a kingdom that would stand as a good and joyous contrast to the world around it. Those who believe in Christ are not only a part of that kingdom but are to live lives in such a way that reflect its joy and goodness. Indeed, there is a beauty or attractiveness of a life winsomely lived for God before others. Jesus said to his followers, “You are the light of the world…let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” In the series SHINE: The Influence of a Beautiful Life, the teaching team of Clear Creek Community Church will look at what we need to know in order to have our lives make a difference in the world around us…and in us.

About the Series: Do you remember the Cleaver family of Leave It to Beaver? The Cleavers are from a different universe than the TV families of today known in Family Guy or the most popular sitcom on TV, Modern Family. Why has the image of the American family changed so dramatically? Let’s just say it … we have issues! But there is Good News. God, the inventor and creator of the family, has something hopeful and helpful to say about the issues of the Modern Family.
