Community Christian Church desires to be a church centred on Jesus. We want to introduce people to the adventure that a life with Christ can bring, and then challenge and encourage them to live a life of significance. Our identity is rooted in Jesus, and we desire to reflect His life and love through our worship, teaching, and service.

Songs allow us to experience not only God’s past actions but also God’s current and future reality. Songs powerfully get stuck in our heads and can stay with us throughout the day. Songs are, therefore, a powerful tool in the war against sin and the reformation of lives. Never underestimate the power of song in the formation of our lives.
Deuteronomy 32 is a song, written by God, to teach and remind the people of Israel of who God is—the faithful rock and covenant father. And to remind them who they are—a people prone to wander and rebel. It paints them a picture of a bleak future if they rebel, but does not leave them without hope.
For people who struggle and fail this passage offers hope. We find hope in God’s covenant commitment and his great compassion, which, we see most fully in Christ. Judgment will not be the last word for the follower of Jesus. And, one day, the entire universe will be transformed into a new creation where rebellion, heartbreak, and pain are no more. Through the work of Christ, God has judged and been victorious over all the forces of evil and made a way of reconciliation for his people. This is the hope offered in Christ.
This is the ultimate vision of this song of Moses, it is one we will sing in the new creation, and it is a truth worth singing in/over our lives constantly.

Whether intentional or not, you are being formed/trained into a person who loves. The only real questions will be: What am I being trained to love? And, how do I love rightly?
How do we become people who love rightly? We centre our whole selves on Jesus (with all of our heart and soul). We fix our eyes on Jesus and develop new habits that lead us to know him and be like him. But, this is only possible because he first loved us. (1 Jn. 4:19) “We love because he first loved us.”
