Springbrook Community Church

What will your future Christmases be like? Only God knows. We do know that as we draw closer to Him on a daily basis, we'll be able to handle any challenges that come our way and enjoy God's blessings.

Christmas is the busiest season of the year. Sometimes it is hard to keep our focus on Christ. For some people it's a depressing time because of lost relationships and painful memories. Be with us as we study Biblical truths about focusing on the love and mercy of Jesus Christ during this season of grace and mercy.

Many times we live with the guilt of the past such as regretting bad decisions or how we have mistreated people. God wants you to be freed from the burdens of the past if we allow Him to work in our lives. Be our guest as this Sunday we explore the Biblical truths that will free us from our past.

The greatest news on earth is being celebrated during this season - the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, the power of the Gospel to transform our lives can get choked out and lost by distractions and busyness. Join us as Pastor Richard teaches on the power of God to transform our lives and impact the lives of those around us this Christmas!

Thanksgiving should be a daily event (without all the turkey and pumpkin pie of course). God tells us very clearly that we need to have a lifestyle of thankfulness. Join us as we celebrate the holiday that goes year round!

As we step through life from day to day, our energy fuel tank runs dry quite regularly. God is an all-powerful God and He wants to download His power into your life. Experience how we can tap into God's power as He desires us to.

As we find in life, people try to be faithful to us, but everyone fails us in some way. God is faithful in every way - he never fails us though sometimes we think He has. The faithfulness of God is an important theme threaded throughout the Bible. Come and explore what it means to each of us.

Because we are so complex, it's sometimes hard to fully experience the love of God. Be our guest as we unpack God's amazing love and learn how we can experience it on a deeper level.

Because God is holy, He is also a just God. The Gospel is the good news! Because of God's justice, He needed to punish us sinners, but Jesus Christ took that penalty upon himself. Join us as we look at the different aspects about God's justice.

Most people say they could use a lot more wisdom in their lives as they face life's challenges. The wonderful thing is that God is the source of all wisdom and He wants to share His wisdom with you! Be our guest as we look at what the Bible says about how we can tap into God's wisdom.

People usually don't brag about being holy. We all know we have many areas of life that are not pure. We know that God is holy or perfect in everyway. This gives us great confidence in trusting a God who is righteous and at the same time full of love and grace. Come along with us as we understand how the holiness of God affects our lives.

This past year it seems we have seen more turmoil around the world than usual. If God is in control, why are these things happening? Does God care about my life when it is out of control? Join as we explore the Bible to understand how God cares for us and is in control.

This is probably the most often asked question people have about God. So many people suffer with many painful issues. Be our guest as we look at this complex issue and find answers in the Bible.

We'll be looking at common misconceptions about God that people have and then give an overview of the amazing truth found in the Bible about God. The more you understand about God, the more you desire to have a closer relationship with Him.

God has sustained and used our local family for 18 years!! Join us as we celebrate who God is and thank Him for His faithfulness. We will study how we can better serve God as a church. We'll also celebrate a baptism and have our annual picnic on our campus.

One of the greatest privileges in life is to serve others in the name of Christ. As a disciplemaking community, when we serve others, we disciple others. Be with us as we talk about responsibility and rewards of serving one another.

The command to love one another is repeated over and over in God's word. One of the most effective ways to do this is by ordinary Christ-Followers meeting in groups where the word of God is studied and people are prayed for and encouraged. Join us as we explore the benefits of these relationships.

One of the keys to sustained Christian growth is discipleship relationships. We will continue to unpack practical ways that we can encourage each other as we walk the journey with Jesus.

People that we know are hurting deeply in one way or another. We know that their main need is a relationship with Jesus. We'll be talking about how we as a church can introduce people to Jesus Christ who can truly save them in this life and the life to come.

We are partnering with the Timothy Initiative to train 100 churches in Northern India. Founder David Nelms will speak to us about the innovative ways their organization has planted 1000's of churches around the world. David is a seasoned pastor and has an incredible heart for missions.

Pastor Rich will report on his two week vision trip to India. He will teach on the importance of spreading the Gospel to the ends of the earth! he will give us a visual update of our progress in our DiscipleDriven goal to train 100 church planters in Northern India.

Satan is always looking for ways to trip us up in our sins as we seek to become more like Christ. Our own Dr. Lou Petrie will be with us to teach God's principles on how we can overcome the struggle with temptation through God's power.

Are you in the middle of a life storm? If you're not in one now, you'll be sure to experience one in the future - storms are a part of life. Pastor Dick Loizeauz will teach us not only how God sustains us through a storm, but also how He matures us because of it. Dick works at Converge Mid-America, our regional office in Park Ridge, IL. He has served as a pastor for many years and also as a church...

We are part of the Converge Worldwide association of churches. Converge churches in the U.S. and around the world team up together to make a greater kingdom impact. Converge President Jerry Sheveland will be sharing with us about how God is using Converge churches and missionaries to reach the world for Jesus!

We will look into the beautiful story of grace found in John 21 when Jesus Christ restores Peter back into his role as leader of the disciples. We will once again learn that discipleship is a slow process, but one in which Jesus is patient with us as we make progress in becoming more like Him.
