Weekly Messages - Community Church of Greensburg | Batesville

We spend a lot of time thinking about what we want to do in life—but far less time considering who we’re becoming. The truth is, we write the story of our lives one decision at a time. So what if the decisions you're making right now are shaping more than your future… they're shaping your character?

God doesn’t always look like He’s going to do much with our lives. But at some point, in the middle of the mundane, God will ask ordinary people to change course to do something different, something that gives more purpose and meaning. What would you do if it was YOU God asked? Would your faith be so crazy so as to say, “Yes”?

Doesn't it drive us crazy when life doesn’t go our way, even though we haven’t done anything to deserve the situation we’re in? It’s in the toughest times that we have the opportunity to decide what our response will be defined by: frustration and anger, or faithfulness that God is with us even in the hardest circumstances. In the story of Joseph’s life, we see a powerful example of someone who di...

 At some point in life, everyone has a need to identify God’s voice in their lives. When times of stress, uncertainty or confusion happen, we can wonder where God is and what He wants. In this story from the Bible, we will learn about hearing God in these moments from a time in the life of the prophet Elijah.

We all have things in our lives we wish we could undo—mistakes we’ve made, choices we regret, moments we’d take back if we could. But what if the goal isn’t to undo the past, but to move forward from it? Reconnecting with the beginning of God’s story may be the key to understanding how to live with what’s been broken. Genesis 1:1, 31a; Genesis 3:1-5, 7-9, 21; Romans 5:8; Romans 6:21-23

Sometimes the biggest dangers in life are the ones we never see coming. Blindspots can trip us up—even when we think we know what’s next. It’s why smart people still make dumb mistakes. So how do we avoid the avoidable? Maybe the first step is asking for help from the One who sees it all.

You might know what’s coming next—but if you’ve never been there before, are you really prepared? Whether it’s a new stage of life or an unfamiliar challenge, the unknown can leave us unsure of our next steps. What if the key to moving forward is learning from those who’ve already been there?

Life is all about moving from here to there. It’s all about motion. Progress. Change. Seasons. Starting school. Ending school. Starting a new relationship or getting out of a relationship (marriage or divorce). Having kids. Empty nesting. Finding a new job. Losing a job. All of those transitions have the potential to knock us off balance. So what do we hold onto as we transition from season to the...

Just because you know what’s coming doesn’t mean you’re ready for it. A new season, a big opportunity, or an unexpected challenge might be just around the corner. But how do you prepare for what’s next when life keeps moving? Maybe the best preparation starts long before the moment arrives.

Have you ever noticed how much easier it is to surround ourselves with other people that always share the same opinions and worldview? We live in a world and culture that prefers to cancel out other people and opinions that are challenging or conflicting to our own. Ironically, nothing promotes more personal growth in our lives than challenging contradiction. Join us as we look at the benefits of...

Plenty of teachers have made bold claims—but only one backed them up by rising from the dead. The Resurrection isn’t just part of Jesus’ story—it is the story. It’s what turned whispers into a worldwide movement. What if the event that changed everything in the first century could still change everything for you today?

If God is good, why does He allow so much evil? It’s one of the most honest, difficult questions we ask—especially when we experience personal pain. But what if God’s response to evil is far different than we imagined? And what if the answer has everything to do with Jesus?

What if the reason you haven’t found what you’re looking for is because you’ve refused to look? Sometimes it’s not a lack of evidence that holds us back, but a refusal to see what’s right in front of us. When it comes to faith, believing often begins when we admit we don’t have to see everything to believe something.

Do you follow Jesus for who He is—or just for what He can give you? Too often, we treat Him like a means to an end, only sticking around when He delivers what we want. But Jesus wasn’t offering quick fixes; He was inviting people into real, lasting life. Is it possible you're missing the significance of His invitation?

What happens when religion gets in the way of loving people? Jesus healed a man who had suffered for years, but instead of celebrating, the religious leaders were outraged. Too often, we elevate rules over relationships and miss what matters most. What if faith was never meant to be an excuse to ignore the person right in front of us?

We like proof. We want to see before we believe. But what if the kind of faith Jesus calls us to requires something more? In this message, we explore how one man was asked to take Jesus at His word—just like we are today. Could trusting before seeing be the key to real, life-changing faith?

What if faith isn’t a leap in the dark but a response to evidence? In the Gospel of John, eyewitnesses recognize that Jesus’ signs point to something far greater. In this message, we’ll explore how turning water into wine isn’t just a miracle—it symbolized the far better work God was doing through Jesus.

Suffering is inevitable. Our response to suffering matters — we can choose to respond poorly or we can choose to respond well. Lets explore together how God empowers us to respond in freedom and with joy.

Since our childhood, we are taught that maturity is when we move from being dependent to being independent. But societal trends have shifted our notion of independence to an unhealthy and selfish way of living. What if there was a healthier version of the tension between being dependent and independent? Spoiler alert: there is and it is a healthier way for us to live life that involves not only le...

Why is it that, in a world more connected than ever, so many of us feel isolated and alone? Isolation isn’t just hard—it’s harmful, affecting us mentally, physically, and even societally. In this message, we’ll uncover the profound impact of isolation and begin to explore the key to living a flourishing life.

Just like your physical core is vital to overall fitness, there’s a spiritual core that shapes your faith—and it’s closely tied to your relationship with money. When your finances are aligned with God’s principles, it strengthens your connection with Him and leads to massive gains in your faith life.

What is God’s plan for the world? It might not look the way we expect. In a culture that celebrates self-importance, the paradox of God’s design is this: in making ourselves nobody, we discover our true purpose. Could it be that serving others is the key to the world God envisions?

Have you ever noticed how we show up early, cheer loud, and stay until the end for our favorite teams and performers? We bring a lot of energy and excitement to entertainment, but sometimes we struggle to see the value of that same energy and commitment to church. Perhaps we've lost sight of what a church service is and the opportunity it offers us to grow deeper in our connection with others and...

Faith grows bigger and stronger when it’s developed in a group setting. In this message we’ll consider how being part of a group gives space to ask our questions, build friendships, and take new steps of faith. 

Like a workout, building faith takes intentional effort. In this message, we’ll explore how inviting someone to take a step toward God not only impacts their journey but also strengthens your own. Discover how a simple invitation can be a powerful exercise in growing your faith.
