Weekly Messages - Community Church of Greensburg | Batesville

Have you ever wondered how to react when someone falls? In a story found in 2 Samuel about a boy who falls we learn that those who receive grace are expected to extend grace by remembering the grace we received, seeking those who have fallen, and doing our part to restore them.

What is God’s response when we fall? As much as we dislike thinking or talking about sin the truth is that for us, sin is an unsolvable problem. However, rather than expecting us to behave our way into the solution, God Himself became the remedy. He provided the ONLY viable solution to our sin problem in the form of something COMPLETELY unexpected from a powerful and just God. Grace.

Sin. Just the word itself carries a lot of stigma and emotion when you read it. For a lot of us, including those that grew up in church and those that didn’t, the whole concept and definition of sin can be hard to wrap our minds around. But like the first step to any solution, understanding and admitting the problem is crucial. It is important to know how sin can impact our lives but also vital to...

As children, we're taught the phrase, "Sticks and stone can break my bones, but words will never hurt me." The problem is we all know it's not true; whereas bones heal over time, hurtful words have the power to live with us for a lifetime. And it's not just the hurtful words others speak... our hurtful words have the same power in the lives of those we love the most. That's why we need to think lo...

Have you ever found yourself in the middle of a tense conversation, mentally formulating your argument while the other person spouts their point of view? Ready to pounce the moment they take a breath, you've come up with what you believe needs to be said. Ironically in those moments, both parties actually want the same thing: to be heard and understood. The problem is neither one is generally will...

The average person speaks about 16,000 words a day, and if you were to compile all those words into an average-sized book, we’d each write about 100 books a year. With so many words being spoken, it’s easy to be careless with the words we say. And when we're careless... well, the result can be radioactive.

With so many verifiable facts surrounding Jesus' death and resurrection, it's easy to wonder what role faith takes as it comes to Christianity. Do we even need to have faith? The answer is: YES. But just how much faith do we need? The answer might surprise you.

Every year on Christians celebrate something important on Easter: the Resurrection of Jesus. If you grew up as a church-goer, the truth of the Resurrection was assumed. If you didn't? Well... let's just say it was ignored. In both cases, little time was given to exploring the fact surrounding the Resurrection of Jesus. Believe it or not, there's a lot of evidence to prove that this fanciful tale m...

Religion is complex, and Jesus is often thrown into a bucket of all religions: he is one option among many. But is Jesus just another good option? Join us as we continue examining 5 simple facts that make Jesus’ claims about himself undeniable.

When it comes to determining whether or not the Resurrection of Jesus actually took place, we have to look at the facts surrounding the supposed event. Are they legitimate? Are they verifiable? Can we actually believe that this miracle took place? What is the most probable explanation for the evidence we have?

One of the greatest questions asked of Christianity is: can a person actually come back from the dead? Such an idea defies logic and science, and yet it’s the foundation of the world’s largest religion. In the first part of “Undeniable” we explore the reason why many are quick to doubt the Resurrection.

As we wrap up our NEXT series, this week we focus on that point in our faith journey where we move from just knowing about Jesus to truly experiencing Him in our lives. We will take a look at the Apostle Peter as he learns to recognize and focus on his relationship with Jesus.

Spiritual maturity is a journey rather than a destination. Whether you are new to faith or have been following Christ for years, everyone has a NEXT step. As we see in this second of four weeks on the transformation of the apostle Peter, spiritual growth is movement, not perfection.

Where is God? Have you ever wondered? One of the hardest things about believing in God is that we can’t see Him… we can’t touch Him… we can’t feel Him. He seems so distant, but we’re told He’s closes. Where is God? Maybe He’s closer than you think.

Every relationship has boundaries.... every relationship needs boundaries. In some relationships, boundaries feel like restrictions, but in others, they feel like permissions. Have you ever considered what makes the difference?

We all have bad habits: chewing with our mouths open, binge-watching TV, or spending too much time on social media. The funny thing is, the reason we call all of those and more "bad" is because we know they're not good for us. And yet most of us don't make a whole lot of effort to change. In fact, we're not even sure we want to change. But what if changing those habits is a key to really experienc...

There are lots of important things about us: our relationships, our family, our careers, our health, our finances, our eduction. The list could go on and on. As we start a new year, it's normal to want to focus on those important things as we make our resolutions and set our sights on how this year will be different from the last. While those are all important things to focus on, there's actually...

You've got questions, and we've got answers. Join us for a Pastor's Round Table where we answer questions that were previously submitted.

2020 has been a year like none other. That's true of every year, but it's especially true of 2020. During a year where the world has felt so weary and hopeless, many are looking something to place their hope in. The good news is that hope may not be quite as far off as it seems.

The book of Judges records God’s chosen people doing what they want, when they want, with whom they want. The tragedy was that ancient Israel began with divine intervention and a divine mandate. They were to show the world who God was by being different than the nations around them. But for three hundred years they lived in a cycle of disobedience, disaster, and deliverance. The entire time Israel...

What kind of person do you want to be? When people have to stand and talk about you when you’re gone, what do you want them to say? Do you realize that’s up to you? What if you decided to be . . . extraordinary?

Chances are your greatest regret can be traced back to a decision where you desired something that your heart knew was wrong. An appetite was raging. You saw something or someone you wanted . . . even though he, she, or it wasn’t healthy for you. But you gave in to your desires anyway. You yielded to the little kings that want to replace the Creator King who calls you to live from the inside out....

Do you really want to be like everybody else? Everybody else takes their cues from everybody else. Being like everybody else just makes you average—worried, in debt, bored, and dissatisfied with what you have. If you knew that living like everybody else on the outside would leave you feeling like this on the inside, you would have done what you suspected was right in your heart instead of doing wh...
