The Community Church

In this episode, we explore how God’s peace often arrives in unexpected and even unsettling moments, just as Zechariah was startled by the angel in Luke 1. Through reflection and prayer, the episode invites listeners to notice the divine interruptions in their ordinary routines and remain open to the surprising ways God brings His peace.

In this first episode of the Advent Peace Podcast, we reflect on the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth in Luke 1 and how their unfulfilled longings mirror our own. Through Scripture, devotion, and prayer, this episode invites listeners to bring their aches before God and awaken to His peace in the gap between what is and what we hope for.

This Sunday, we begin our exciting Advent journey learning about the life-changing peace the Prince of Peace came to offer, big enough for our world and personal enough for our hearts.

Join us this Sunday as we share the exciting vision for our church in 2026. And what Jesus taught us about how to be #blessed. 

In Luke 14, Jesus teaches us that good guests bring more than presents, but His peace. Join us this Sunday to learn ow to be a good guest this holiday season. 

Whether hosting or attending family get-togethers during the holidays, biblical love can be lived and demonstrated without the sacrifice of personal peace. The Bible does not contend that the one can only be purchased at the expense of the other; it teaches the opposite. 

Spiritual growth isn't measured in height or inches, but in depth. Join us this Sunday to learn that generosity is what joy looks like when it grows up.

Compassion is only a feeling — a useless sentiment we profess for those who are suffering — unless it is substantiated through our intentional acts of generosity. Unless it costs us something, compassion is worth nothing.

In week one of our new sermon series, More Than a Feeling — a look at what it really means to trust God with our generosity. While week one focused on finances, this series goes beyond money, exploring how trust forms the foundation of generosity in every area of our lives. God doesn’t want something from us — He wants something for us: the freedom and peace that come from trusting Him fully.

"Two wrongs don't make a right." "Money doesn't grow on trees."  Repeated truths last a lifetime—and Jesus had a few of His own, a few you might not expect.

In this midweek check-in, we are reminded that faithfulness is about trusting that God will remain faithful in our journey — and all the highs and lows that make it up.

Faithfulness is about God, not us. It's learning to trust that God remains faithful even when it feels or seems like He's not.

Today, we’re looking at three closely connected fruits of the Spirit — kindness, goodness, and gentleness — and how they shape the way we forgive. True forgiveness isn’t always easy, but when these qualities take root in us, they help us respond with the same grace we’ve received.

The life of Joseph in the Old Testament may be compared to the life of Jesus in many ways, including the fruits of his spirit. 

In this midweek check-in, we explore patience and self-control through the timeless fable of the Tortoise and the Hare. These quiet but powerful Fruits of the Spirit remind us that faith isn’t about speed or flash, but about steady endurance and daily discipline.

Our natural instinct in stressful situations is to react immediately. But the harder, supernatural work of the Spirit is to help us pause instead of pushing forward. 

Happiness depends on things, but true joy and peace are found through God’s Spirit.

This week on our midweek check-in, we’re talking about the very first fruit: love. Not the warm, fuzzy kind, but agapē love — the sacrificial love that looks like Jesus. From Esther’s courageous choice to a parent’s everyday sacrifices, we’ll explore how real love chooses someone else’s good, even when it costs us.

We're kicking off Week One of the Fruit of the Spirit series with the big daddy of them all—looooooooove! Not just any love but agapē love—the kind of love that looks like Jesus. And that's the best kind of love there is. 

This week on our midweek podcast, we’re diving deeper into the Fruit of the Spirit and what it really means for faith to come alive. From Galatians to everyday relationships, we’ll see how patience, kindness, and gentleness aren’t things we force — they’re the natural result of being rooted in God’s Spirit. Together, we’ll learn how to let that fruit grow in our families, friendships, and communit...

This Sunday, we're kicking off a churchwide discipleship journey. From kids to adults, we'll discover how the Fruit of the Spirit makes faith come alive in everyday life—and how together we can grow fruit that changes the world around us. 

Sometimes our weariness, our lamenting, our grieving are the prayers of our hurting souls... whether we're conscious of it or not. An initial impression of the song "One" was that it was the author's fervent prayer for unity and peace among people. Boy, were we wrong!

This Sunday in Behind the Music, we'll discover how an Old Testament prophet, the Beatles, and Jesus all remind us of the same truth: when life falls apart, God brings hope and rebuilding. 

We're kicking off Behind the Music with We Americans by the Avett Brothers—a raw yet powerful prayer about how our past, whether personal, collective, or biblical, is both beautiful and complicated, and how Jesus can redeem every part of our stories.
