Weekly Messages - Community Church of Greensburg | Batesville

Most of us like the idea of God showing compassion—until it’s directed toward someone we don’t think deserves it. The story of Jonah is often remembered for a storm and a fish, but what if those aren’t actually the point? What if this story is really about a God whose love reaches further than we expect—and whose plans are bigger than our preferences?

Every nation has its own values, customs, and identity. Spend enough time around people from another country and the differences become obvious. But what about followers of Jesus? If someone spent a week watching your life, what would stand out? In a culture that often encourages us to put ourselves first, Jesus offers a very different way of living. What happens when the values of our King don’t...

As parents, mentors, and influencers, most of us are figuring it out as we go. There’s no manual. No map. No guarantee we’ll get it right. So what do we do when we know our own flaws and failures all too well? Is it better to step back—or lean in? In this opening message of Into the Wild, we’ll explore why our imperfections don’t disqualify us from influence, and why the greatest danger may not be...

In this message from our Real Change series, we explore how God uses community to help us grow, heal, and become who He created us to be. We need people who encourage us to draw near to God, hold on to hope during difficult seasons, and challenge us toward love and good deeds. Real change is possible, but it requires intentional relationships and a willingness to grow together in authentic communi...

Change is hard. And if real change starts with God working in us through internal spiritual transformation, then what is our part in the process? Do we simply sit back and let God do His work in us, or do we have a responsibility in becoming who He created us to be? We have an incredible opportunity to participate in what God wants to do in our lives.

Where does life change really take place? We all have a version of ourselves we want to be, but our actual selves show up, and we fall short. Even after trying over and over, we end up in a similar place. In this message, the Apostle Paul describes his own frustrations with this in his own life and shows us where real change can be found for anyone who wants it.

We’ve all had those moments—when we were completely convinced we were right… only to discover we weren’t. It’s unsettling. Even a little disorienting. But what if some of our most deeply held assumptions—about God, faith, or even ourselves—are more fragile than we think? And what if the thing God wants to do next doesn’t fit into the categories we’ve always relied on?

We all know what it’s like to dig in—to resist, to hold our ground, to refuse to budge. Sometimes it shows up in small ways. Other times, it keeps us from seeing what’s right in front of us. But what if the greatest barrier between us and what God wants to do isn’t a lack of evidence… but a refusal to move? And what if the thing we’re most resistant to is the very thing that could change everythin...

We love the idea of following Jesus—until it starts to cost us something. It’s easy to say we trust God when life feels comfortable, but what happens when faith requires sacrifice, honesty, or courage? And what if the gap between the life we want and the life we experience has more to do with what we’re holding onto than what we’re missing?

We all feel it—the chaos. Not just out there, but in here. And most of us are trying, in our own way, to manage it… fix it… control it. But what if the more we try to take control, the more we actually add to the chaos? And what if the kind of change we’re hoping for doesn’t start with trying harder—but with something completely different?

Some people see it clearly. Others want to, but can’t. And some have already decided there’s nothing there. When it comes to God, most of us fall into one of those categories. But what if the difference isn’t intelligence or background—but something else entirely? And what if the reason some people experience God in a real way while others don’t is closer to home than we think? Watch or listen her...

How does a movement built around a crucified man outlast the empire that killed Him? For 2,000 years, the church has endured opposition, division, and cultural change—yet it’s still here. What if the explanation isn’t strategy or strength, but something far less controllable? And what if the reason we don’t experience it the same way today has more to do with us than we realize? 

Easter is the centerpiece of the Christian faith—but the first people to experience it didn’t see it coming. They were confused, skeptical, and unsure what to believe, even when faced with an empty tomb. What followed wasn’t just a moment of hope, but the beginning of something that would change the world. What if the resurrection isn’t just something to celebrate, but something that forces a deep...

Forgiveness is a hard enough thing to do in any part of our lives, but there is one person we usually struggle the most to show forgiveness to: ourselves. How should we deal with the guilt, shame, and/or regret that can come with the bad choices we make in life? This week, we’ll look at the stories of two people in the Bible as we explore God’s truth when it comes to both our bad choices and learn...

It’s easy to carry un-forgiveness when your trust has been betrayed. But you don’t have to keep carrying that pain. Join us this week as we discover how the power of forgiveness can bring freedom and healing.

When someone hurts you, the pain that follows can weigh you down and keep you from moving forward. But you have the power to let go of the hurt that you’ve been carrying. Forgiveness leads to freedom!

We live in a time when it’s never been easier to consume church—online messages, podcasts, and content anytime we want. But what if simply attending or listening was never the point? What if the church was meant to shape us in ways we can’t experience on our own? Before deciding how much church you need, it may be worth asking a harder question: what would your life actually look like without it?

The early church wasn’t culturally uniform, politically aligned, or socially alike—and yet it held together. In a letter to the Galatians, Paul addressed deep divisions and showed what it looks like to follow Jesus in a world full of competing identities. How do we remain rooted in truth without becoming combative? And how do we pursue unity without sacrificing conviction? Guest speaker, Sean Boon...

Most of us don’t think of money as a spiritual issue—until it becomes a source of stress, fear, or anxiety. But what if the real issue isn’t how much we have, but what comes first? As Reset comes to a close, this message challenges the way we prioritize our finances and invites us to consider how those priorities quietly open—or close—the door to God’s work in our lives.

We all have interests—things that grab our attention and stir our appetite. But interests don’t just sit there; they quietly shape our direction. In this message, Pastor Seth explores how unmanaged appetites can slowly form who we’re becoming and why awareness matters more than we think. If you’ve ever wondered why certain desires keep pulling at you, this message is worth revisiting.

Most of us don’t think of ourselves as having extra. Everything feels necessary, justified, and already spoken for. Yet when Jesus talked about money, He focused less on what people lacked and more on what they did with what remained. What if the way we define “enough” is being shaped more by our culture than we realize? And what if what feels normal is quietly forming our hearts?

Debt rarely feels like the problem—it feels like a solution we needed in the moment. A swipe here, a payment there, and slowly the pressure starts shaping our choices, our stress, and even our sense of freedom. What if the thing that feels normal is quietly costing us more than we realize? And what if the real issue isn’t about money at all?

Most of us feel the pressure to get our finances under control. We try harder, plan better, and set new goals—yet the stress keeps showing up. What if the problem isn’t a lack of discipline, but the system we’re running on? What if a true reset requires interrupting what’s been driving our decisions all along?

A new year often makes us want a fresh start. We reset our schedules, our habits, our goals—yet something still feels off. The stress remains. The pressure lingers. What if the reason life feels out of alignment has less to do with discipline and more to do with something deeper we rarely want to talk about? What if the thing underneath your stress is quietly shaping every part of your life—and it...

We love the idea of Jesus as Savior—someone who forgives, comforts, and secures our eternity. But trusting Him as King? That’s where many of us hesitate. What if surrendering to Him isn’t about losing your life, but discovering the kind of King He actually is? Before you decide whether you want a King, you may need to rethink the One who came for you.
