Weekly thoughts from Pastor Bruce

Weekly Devotion

11/19/2024
Scripture: Luke 6:12: “It was at this time that He went off to the mountain to pray, and He spent the whole night in prayer to God.”

It is truly inspiring to see how Jesus prioritized time away from the demands of His busy life. His profound love led Him to embrace those whom society had cast aside—those who were rejected, ridiculed, and condemned. Despite the immense pressures He faced, He understood the necessity of solitude to connect deeply with His Heavenly Father. Remarkably, even as God incarnate, Jesus sought quiet moments for prayer and reflection. This teaches us a vital lesson: we too must carve out time to recharge and align ourselves with God’s strength, wisdom, and purpose. Let us be careful not to become so consumed by our schedules that we neglect our quality time with God. ~ BC

Scripture Psalm 16:8 & 11: “I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken…. You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.”

Let us reflect on two critically important phrases from today’s Scripture: “I keep my eyes always on the LORD” and “You make known to me the path of life.” These words reveal a profound truth: God is always with us, ready to guide us on the right path. He does not abandon us or leave us lost on a “road to nowhere.” His presence is forever unconditional; He is ALWAYS with us, no matter our circumstances. By focusing on Him, we can ensure that our faith remains unshaken by life’s challenges and relationships. Although difficulties may arise, it is comforting to know we serve a God who is steadfast. The Lord’s presence is “Emmanuel, God with us.” Let His presence be your guiding light in your life as a devoted Christian. ~ BC

Scripture: Hebrews 4:12, “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”


The Bible is a powerful tool for change, capable of altering your life from within. God has given us no other means to facilitate such a transformation. The Spirit of God is at work in the hearts of believers, employing the Word of God to shape them into Christlike beings. When we engage with the teachings of the Bible, we open ourselves to a life enriched with conviction, conversion, comfort, and conformity. As you immerse yourself in God's Word, you will find your life filled with meaning, purpose, hope, and significance. Embrace its eternal wisdom, and let it inspire you to reach heights you never thought possible. ~ 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. Taking over this outreach during the pandemic was not easy, but Amber was able to adapt and overcome allowing us to safely continue this wonderful community outreach event during a very difficult time. Since joining the team Amber has planned many successful and fun events for both our church family and our community.  

Amber also teaches our Discovery Kid's ministry on Sunday mornings for our kids aged 5 through 5th grade.      

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.
