Scripture: Matthew 16:24-26 NIV: “Then Jesus said to his disciples, whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.”
Today's scripture invites us to reflect on the profound lessons imparted by Jesus regarding the essence of true discipleship. To authentically live for Christ, it’s imperative we transform our mindset from one that is self-focused—the "all about me" mentality—to a more profound perspective that places "God and others first." This act is not about loss; rather, it is about prioritizing God, which, through spiritual discipline and selflessness, opens the door to a richer, more fulfilling existence that promises eternal rewards. This journey may seem paradoxical, as it challenges us to exchange a self-absorbed life for one embedded with genuine purpose and lasting significance. In closing, let us embark on this transformative journey together, encouraging and uplifting one another as we deepen our faith and discover our purpose! ~ Pastor Bill

Scripture Isaiah 40.31 “But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”
Are you feeling overwhelmed and exhausted—spiritually, emotionally, and physically? Fear not, for there is a guaranteed pathway to personal revival. In Isaiah 40:31, we discover the antidote, to rejuvenate our spiritual strength. This verse presents us with three profound take aways: Firstly, it reminds us that God's greatness lies not only in His strength but also in His willingness to be our source of strength and support. Secondly, His glory is not merely in possessing power; it shines in His desire to use that power to uplift all those in need. Thirdly, God is not too great to care for us; rather, His greatness compels Him to care deeply.  My friends these powerful truths serve as our empowerment to rise above life’s challenges. In conclusion, Isaiah 40:28, reminds us: “The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and His understanding no one can fathom.” Wow!! Embrace these magnificent truths, lean on Him and prepare yourself to soar to new heights! ~ Pastor Bill

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.”
“God resides within His creation, manifesting His presence throughout all that He has made. He transcends the entirety of His works while simultaneously being intimately present within them.” - A. W. Tozer. This profound insight by A. W. Tozer resonates deeply with today’s discussion. As we delve into the Psalms, we can truly sense the heartfelt sentiments of the Psalmist regarding his unwavering faith. His declaration, “I keep my eyes always on the LORD,” coupled with the affirmation, “You make known to me the path of life,” reveals a profound truth: God is ever-present beside us, ready to guide us away from aimless wandering on the “road to nowhere.” By anchoring our focus on Him, we can strengthen our faith amid life’s trials and tribulations. While challenges may inevitably arise, it is a source of immense comfort to know we serve a God who is steadfast, loyal, and true. Embrace His light as a guiding beacon on your path of faith, illuminating every step of your journey. ~ Pastor Bill

Scripture Isaiah 58:11 “The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.” 
As I delved into today’s theme, I stumbled upon a quote that resonates deeply: “Where God guides, God provides.” - Pastor Chuck Smith. One of the beautiful names of God is “Yahweh-Yireh,” which speaks to His promise to provide for us without faltering. The Scriptures overflow with assurances of God’s steadfast provision for our lives. Let us take a moment to reflect on five incredible ways God cares for us: He meets all our spiritual needs (Phil. 4:19); He grants rest to our weary souls (Matt. 11:29-30); He provides guidance (Prov. 3:5-6 & 20:24); He blesses us with peace (John 16:33); He extends grace and forgiveness (Romans 10:9-13). Dear friends, we are abundantly blessed in countless ways. May we always be mindful of God’s unwavering support. Remember, His path is never without the provision you need to persevere. Let this truth inspire and uplift you today. ~ Pastor Bill

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

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.
