Early in life we learn how to ask questions to gather information. Perhaps the most essential of these questions is this: why? Everyone knows what it’s like to have a conversation with a four-year old where the main line of discussion is the question why repeated over and over again.

Why is the sky blue? Why is the grass green? Why are giraffes so tall and mice so little? Why do I have to eat my vegetables when chocolate tastes so much better?

The question why, at its core, seeks to determine the reasons or purposes behind the things around us. Yet, when we get older, we stop asking why and instead simply embrace things around us without question.

We are starting a new series here at Community Christian Church called “Why” where we are taking a closer look at things we do and believe here at CCC. We don’t want to embrace something because “that’s the way we’ve always done it.” We want to know very clearly why. We hope you’ll join us as we take a closer look at why we sing, gather, serve, baptize, and why CCC exists. We promise not to just repeat the question why; we’ll leave that up to your little nephew.
