Commerce Community Church

In this New Year, consider something you might try to do every day, or not do! Let's enter into the gates of 2025 with rejoicing in our hearts, thankful in Spirit, and determined to be a stronger witness of Jesus' great love!

Advent Candles: 1st Candle-Angelic Message; 2nd Candle-Obedience; 3rd Candle-Joying; 4th Candle-Emmanuel In this holy season let the Church reflect upon spiritual things and remember the One who has brought about about a "Merry Christmas." It is a great time to show the love of Jesus, heal hearts, forgive, and offer prayers of thanksgiving, to let our light of Jesus shine bright.

The greatest event in our lives is our salvation, brought to us through a baby born of a virgin. This third week of advent expresses the joy we feel because of the gift of salvation. Luke 1:30-35 "And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and...

Through it all Jesus' obedience brought pain and sorrow! Jesus was obedient, Mary and Joseph were obedient , John the Baptist was obedient. The cross gave us the greatest gift ever given. "Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from t...

John 1:32-33 "And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost."

Angelic activity is in full swing. This is a day of preparation. While the whole world prepares to celebrate this event, many do not give Jesus a thought. It has become a holiday for them. But the receiver of salvation it is preparation to remember the One who gave His life for ou eternal home.

To make our petitions known, such as we see here in David's prayer, he tells God "he is overwhelmed!" We are reminded in this psalm, that it is important to address God with our cares, crisis, and just because ... all the while bringing forth a "song of victory."

So the question among many is basically, do we have a burden for America? I know we are concerned, I know we see the wickedness pressing in on Christianity, but does it burden our hearts as we note here in Habakkuk? Is there a grief in our soul as we see the signs of the unrighteous prevailing, in laws being changed, more power to the wicked and less respect for God? Hab 1:5 "Behold ye among the h...

While as followers of our Saviour, we daily give thanks, there is a season of thanksgiving and it has great purpose. Just ahead as we face November there will be a season wherein the church is called to offer thanks. A Living God in this message today we find several avenues of thought as we come to the Thanksgiving season. And the beauty of His Holiness looms large upon this day of celebration.

In these messages let us grow another measure in Christ. May we desire to pursue His holiness, to meditate upon 'right standing' in Him. The Holy Ghost is our conviction, the One who continues to alert us to the areas that needs change in our lives. There is a Highway of Holiness, it is narrow according to Matt. 7:13-14 Jesus admonishes us: "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, an...

Psa 30:4 Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. Psa 48:1 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness. Psa 96:9 O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth. Isa 35:8 And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the un...

How does 'Goodness' without, that is kindness, temperance, gentleness, etc. effect us within? Then how does the evil of our day, the corruption, the anxiety, etc. effect us within? His beauty of creation has always had an effect upon me, but - also the corruption of our day has an effect upon us! I can only turn to Jesus, the Power of His Word, and the anointing of His precious Holy Spirit!

Guest Speaker Rev. Don Van Zandt blessed Commerce Community with the urgency of salvation, because today is the day of salvation.

Guest Speaker Rev. Kevin Dershem blessed Commerce Community with an inspiring message from the Lord. Beware of the enemies of the church from within.

Jesus, God's Lamb, was sacrificed once and for all! The writer of Hebrews wrote regarding the New Testament sacrifice of Christ's life: "Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood He entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. " Hebrews 9:12

God shelters us by the power of His Word and the precious Holy Spirit! Christianity has been swept into the anxieties of the world. God is saying to major in spiritual things instead of the worldly things.

Isaiah 9:6-7 "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon His kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with ju...

Humanity was created by the dust of the earth and God breathed into mankind the breath of life! The very breath we breathe has come from God, we are a creation of this awesome glorious God! Psalm 1139:17-18 "How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee."

Most of all our greatest examples of endurance would be to remember Jesus on the Cross. Heb 12:2-3 "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint i...

Psalm 34:1-4 "I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears." Psalm 62:8 "Trust in Him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before Him:...

Matthew 7:7-8 "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."

The message is about "being a witness for Jesus Christ" to the point that people notice - to the point that our lives are energized - we have collided with evil and we are a witness for Almighty God! Chapter of Acts 17:27-28

For Jesus sail "I will give you the promise of My Father, the Power of the Holy Ghost, and He will guide you into all truth, and He will empower you with a holy unction. We are His witnesses, He is the light in our life! We are the light house to the lost. We must shine in our family, shine on the job, emanate His presences in all that we do.

Take time to remember the places where He met you and you knew He brought you through the difficult issue. He robed you with the garments of salvation! Isa 61:10 "I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for He hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, He hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bri...

Mark 4:35-41: And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side. And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships. And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a...
