Weekly Messages - Community Church of Greensburg | Batesville

In a world longing for light, God chose an unsuspecting young woman from Galilee to carry His light into the darkness. Mary, undeserving by the world’s standards, brought the Messiah to the world, and her faith sparked a light that still shines 2,000 years later. This Christmas Eve, discover how we are now called to carry that same light. Will you embrace it and share it, or let it pass you by?

What if the freedom to do whatever we want, whenever we want, isn’t as freeing as it seems? When we chase what’s best for us, we often discover it’s not best at all—and the ripple effects can hurt those around us in ways we’d never expect. Explore how pursuing God’s way leads to a better path for everyone.

What do we do when it feels like God has forgotten us? In those moments of doubt and waiting, it’s easy to lose hope. But what if our role is part of something bigger than we can see? Discover how faithfulness in the midst of uncertainty connects us to God’s unfolding story.

We all carry labels—names and identities that stick to us, often shaping how we see ourselves and how others see us. But what if those labels don’t define us? Jesus' love and forgiveness break through the labels, offering us a new identity. Discover how His story, even in His genealogy, reveals the power to rewrite ours.

The past has a way of following us, shaping our present and influencing our future. But when Jesus came, He brought light—not just to the world, but to each of our individual worlds. Discover how His light can illuminate the darkest parts of our lives, bringing hope, healing, and transformation.

The reality of burnout in our lives is very real and is evidenced by our lives, our schedules and our bank accounts, leaving us stressed and anxious. But the reality is that all of those things are external parts of our lives, problem areas that reflect the choices we make each day. In order to get to the root of our burnout, we need to look inside, at the condition and health of our soul because...

In a world where our screens constantly demand our attention, it’s easy to miss what’s happening right in front of us. Our phones promise connection but often leave us feeling distracted and disconnected from real life. How can we engage with our devices in a way that keeps them from controlling us? Join us as we explore how to reclaim focus and live more fully in the moment.

As we explore the topic of burnout, most of us are comfortable talking about and reevaluating our schedules and priorities, but those aren't the only areas in our life where we feel stressed and have a lack of margin. In fact, one might argue that a good portion of our burnout in life is rooted in another area of our life where we constantly are chasing more: money. How can we find contentment in...

We live in a world where the demands of work and life never stop. There’s always one more thing to do, one more activity for kids, one more task to complete. So we push ourselves to the limit, running at full speed, only to find ourselves exhausted and burned out. But why do we keep going until we crash? What if the way we’re working is keeping us from the rest and restoration we truly need?

It doesn't matter who you are, it feels like all of us are just plain tired, exhausted, and stressed. We all have FOMO, a Fear Of Missing Out, that drives us to constantly strive after one thing in our life: MORE. But our constant pursuit of more can not only leave us feeling burned out, it can also indicate our lack of trust in how God has called us to live and/or the promises He has made to us....

When we look around, it is not difficult to come to the conclusion that what our world needs now is something BETTER. What our world, what YOUR world needs now is not something new and shiny…but rather something very old, ancient even. What our world needs now is THE CHURCH; gatherings of people being changed by Jesus creating more gatherings of people being changed by Jesus. 

In a world and a country full of conflict and division, it’s easy to believe that power and control will bring peace. But what if that approach only deepens the divide? In this message, we’ll explore how the Gospel of Jesus offers a radically different way forward than the gospel of culture. What if true victory comes not through winning but through surrendering to the right Gospel?

Ever feel like the people who disagree with you are the enemy? In a world filled with division, it’s easy to think that the person with a different opinion or vote is your adversary. But what if we’ve got it all wrong? Discover how our real enemy operates in the spiritual realm, and learn how to fight the right battles in the right way.

We’re okay with not always winning—as long as we’re not losing. We value fairness, but what happens when Jesus calls us to embrace personal loss? The early church exemplified this kind of self-sacrifice, showing us a radical love that goes beyond fairness. Explore how we are invited to practically love others through the lens of Jesus' ultimate sacrifice for us.

What if the story of suffering and loss isn't the end, but the beginning of something greater? In this message, we explore how Jesus’ path to victory through suffering is a model for our own lives. Discover why, in a world obsessed with winning, we can afford to lose and still walk in ultimate victory.

In a world that constantly pushes us to win, what if true victory looks more like a loss? Jesus redefined winning, showing us that through surrender and humility, we gain what matters most. Perhaps following his example is a better way of actually winning in a world obsessed with power and control.

I want to believe, but… If we are honest, many of us have a few questions that comb in the back of our minds causing us to doubt about God, the Bible, or Jesus. If we don’t personally have these doubts, we usually have family and friends that do. I want to believe, but…The completion of that statement is a barrier to putting faith in Jesus. In this message Scott addresses when hypocrisy of Christi...

Growth is a part of life. From the early stages of development, our physical strength grows, our understanding of the world grows, and even our ability to connect with others can grow. But there’s one area we don’t tend to think about growing, and that’s the area of faith. It may surprise you to hear that not only is our faith capable of growing, but there are things we can do to help it grow on a...

Has anyone ever asked you what God’s story is? Some of us may feel more comfortable answering that than others, but trying to help someone understand the Gospel can be hard - especially for someone who doesn’t believe what anything in the Bible says. One of the most effective ways to tell someone about God’s story is actually through your story as far as how God has revealed Himself through your l...

If you didn't grow up in church, stepping foot inside a church can feel like stepping into a different world. Often unintentionally, Christians create barriers that make it difficult for people to turn to God. At Community Church, we want to remove those barriers and create intentional environments that foster a meaningful faith experience. Learn how you can be part of a movement to know Jesus and...

Have you ever wondered how you got where you are? As simple as it sounds, you got where you are because you made a series of decisions that took you there. While our choices seem insignificant in the moment, over time we discover they are often a pathway to something bigger that isn’t always better. King Jeroboam learned this lesson the hard way with disastrous consequences. What if we could learn...

Why is it that our worst decisions often involve the wrong people? Why don't we pay more attention to the people we pay attention to? In the account of Rehoboam, a king whose poor choice of advisors led to disaster, we discover an important lesson about influence. Perhaps from his life, we can learn how to avoid the traps of bad influence and find the path to wisdom and fulfillment.

We all have regrets and mistakes we’d rather keep hidden. But what if there's a way to ensure our lives are not defined by our failures? Our failures don’t have to destroy our futures, even when we haven't always lived up to what's on display in our highlight reels. As we explore Israel's kings, discover how to navigate your past with grace and hope.

Do you ever struggle with the urge to control things around you? We all want a bit of control, but ironically, it's in our need to control that we discover a lack of control. What if rather than striving to control, we were striving to obey? How might we see God show up in our everyday lives?

Do you ever find yourself doing something just to fit in? Built within every one of us is a desire to be accepted and to be like everybody else. But what if being like everybody else isn't why we were created? What if God has something better in store for us?
