Weekly Devotion

Scripture: Acts 3:9-10 “When all the people saw him walking and praising God, they recognized him as the same man who used to sit begging at the temple gate called Beautiful, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.”
Acts 3:1-10 unfolds a powerful narrative that invites us into a moment of divine transformation. As you reflect on this awe-inspiring account, I encourage you to ponder two profound elements. First, imagine the Beautiful Gate, resplendent in its Corinthian brass, soaring a majestic seventy-five feet high with grand double doors that speak of welcome and possibility. Second, consider the lame beggar, who, unable to set foot within the temple and behold its splendor, suddenly finds those magnificent doors swung wide open to him. Dear friends, it is the miraculous healing power of Jesus that opens the gateway to the magnificent kingdom of heaven. Those who choose to embrace Him are granted a privilege that surpasses all understanding. When Jesus steps into our lives, existence transforms into something truly Beautiful. Embrace this truth and let it inspire you to seek the wonders that lie within His grace. ~BC

Philippians 2:9 “Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,”
While many distinguished names may eventually fade from memory, the name of Jesus remains timeless. The devil continues to challenge it, and the world may resist it, yet God consistently blesses it, allowing us to still claim its power! Philippians 2:9-11 highlights that no name is greater than that of Jesus. As beloved children of God, we will certainly encounter various trials; nonetheless, during these trying times, Jesus grants us a peace that surpasses all understanding (See John 16:33; Phil. 4:6-7). His holy name wields great power, opening the door to prayer and the riches of God’s grace. It is the weapon that vanquishes the enemy and the driving force behind our sacrifices and service. Therefore, in every situation we face, our foremost action should be to call upon the name of Jesus Christ, for through His name, the very foundations shake and demons are cast out. ~ Pastor Bill

Scripture: Ephesians 5:1-2: “Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.”
“To love another person is to see the peace of God.” These profound words remind us that Jesus’ commandment to love must be at the core of every Christian's life. To walk I Godly love defines our identity in Jesus and reflects His presence within us. Living this commandment requires us to surrender our limited, prideful, and selfish attitudes to the boundless and compassionate love of God. Every day offers us countless opportunities to express love; even a simple act of kindness can spark eternal hope in someone’s heart. My friends, as we strive to embody this love, let us remember the wise words of Mother Teresa: “Intense love does not measure; it just gives.” Embrace this calling to love fiercely and selflessly, and watch how it transforms lives around you. ~ BC


3/2/2025
Scripture: Psalm 130:7-8 “Israel, put your hope in the LORD, for with the LORD is unfailing love and with him is full redemption. He himself will redeem Israel from all their sins.”
Please take a moment to sincerely reflect on this question: “What do you possess that remains constant and infinite?” The message we share today is a meaningful reminder of hope and redemption, illustrating that even in our darkest hours, God's unwavering love and abundant forgiveness are always accessible. No matter the burdens of your past, God offers the promise of full restoration through His grace and mercy. Thus, lean on God's steadfast love and place your hope in Him, for with the Lord is unfailing love and complete redemption. Ultimately, what reason do we have to trust in anything or anyone else regarding our future? ~ BC

Hi! We are Sutter Community Church

What We Believe

We believe:

God is the Creator and ruler of the universe. He exists eternally in three personalities: the Father, m the son, and the Holy Spirit. Ther is one God in three persons.

Jesus Christ is the Son of God who lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to heaven's glory and will return to earth again to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

 The Holy Spirit is Equal with the Father and the Son as God. He is present in the world to make us aware of our need for Jesus Christ. He lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation and provides Christians with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. We seek to live under His control daily. 

The Bible is God’s Word to all people, written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living.

Mankind is made in the spiritual image of God to be like Him in character. People are the supreme object of God’s creation. Although people have tremendous potential for good, they are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called sin. This attitude separates people from God.

Salvation is by grace, through faith. It is a gift from God to all people. We can never make up for our sins by self-improvement or good works. We are saved from sin’s penalty by trusting in Jesus Christ and His sacrifice as God’s offer of forgiveness. We show our faith publicly through baptism. 

Eternity is how long we were created to exist with God. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is hell. To be eternally in union with him is heaven. Heaven and hell are places of eternal existence. 

The Church is the body of Christ on earth. It exists to communicate the good news of new life in Jesus Christ to the world, to teach His followers to obey His teachings, and to equip His followers for ministry. The church is made up of those who have placed their faith in Christ. 


Our Purpose

Our purpose is to love people one at a time enabling them to know God through a personal relationship with Christ, equipping them through spiritual growth to love others and then empowering them to reach their world for Christ

Amber has been a member of Sutter Community Church since 2001. Amber joined the staff as the community outreach coordinator in 2020 taking over the planning and operating of our annual Harvest Festival.

Since joining the team Amber has planned many successful and fun events for both our church family and our community.

GIVING to Sutter Community Church

Tithe and Giving

"Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do," says the Lord of Heaven's Armies, " I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won't have enough room to take it in. Try it! Put me to the test!" Malachi 3:10

Generosity Challenge

We invite you to jump into our Generosity Challenge. Generosity is one area God says to test Him in; this challenge is a concrete way to do just that. The challenge officially starts once you start giving to God consistently in a trackable way. We believe God is after something way more valuable than your money. God is after your heart.

One Time Gift: An amount God puts on your heart.

A Percentage: A set amount based on percentage less than 10% of income. 

Tithe: A set amount of 10% of your income.

Tithe Plus: A set amount above your normal tithe.
