Worship on the First Sunday of Advent, December 3

Worship with us at Community Church on Sunday, December 3, 2023 at 9:30 a.m. Pastor Brett’s topic is “And He Shall Reign Forever and Ever.” Our scriptures are from Psalm 96, 2 Samuel 7:8-17, Micah 5:2-4, and Micah 6:6-8.

Our theme for this Advent Season is the prophecies of the Messiah’s Coming (that is, Jesus coming to earth). We will examine these prophecies and what they meant to the people then and what they mean to the people now. Our passages from Samuel and Micah this Sunday tell us of the promise to David that his kingdom will last forever through one of his ancestors (we know this to be Jesus). We are also told in Micah, the impact this will have on how God’s people are to live in relationship with Him.

Faith: A Character Study on Sunday, November 12

Worship with us at Community Church on Sunday, November 12, 2023 at 9:30 a.m. Pastor Brett’s topic is “Faith: A Character Study.” Our scriptures are Psalm 98:1-6, Romans 10:9-13, and Luke 7:1-10.

Synopsis: Our story today contains plenty of irony. It involves a whole range of people who. on the surface, wouldn’t seem to get together or get along to accomplish anything. But faith in Jesus Christ overcomes all the obstacles to healing.

October 29 – Jesus: We are His Bride, His Inheritance

Worship with us at Community Church on Sunday, October 29, 2023 at 9:30 a.m. Pastor Brett’s topic is “Jesus: We are His Bride, His Inheritance.” Our scriptures are Psalm 103; Ephesians 1:15-23; and Song of Songs 8:8:5-7, 11-14.

Synopsis: Today we look at the closing chapter of a book that is often ignored by preachers. Song of Songs is the love story of Solomon and his Shulamite maiden bride Abishag told with great symbolism, an allegory. Charles Spurgeon writes on this, “We cannot imagine the Holy Spirit giving us this song merely for the purpose of entertaining us…There must be a deep and hidden meaning in it.” As we examine this passage in light of other scripture, we see the bride (the church) and its maturing love for Christ and then we see Christ, the jealous and loving groom, whose love is as strong as death. Behold the love of Christ that has overcome sin and death!

October 15th: To Live is Christ, to Die is Gain

Worship with us at Community Church on Sunday, October 15, 2023 at 9:30 a.m. Pastor Brett’s topic is “To Live is Christ, to Die is Gain.” Our scriptures are 2 Corinthians 5:1, 6-10; Philippians 1:12-20; then Philippians 1:21-20.

Synopsis: When this passage from Philippians was written, Paul was in prison and obviously thinking about life in ministry and death. Paul shares his thoughts with us on this paradox of living in Christ versus being with Christ in the eternal kingdom. We will take a look at this passage and provide us some things to think about.
