Psalm 25:4-5 “Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.”
In Psalm 25, we discover a beautiful prayer that gracefully expresses our need for God’s mercy, especially during times when we wrestle with our flaws and the challenges of life. Verses 4 and 5 remind us of the incredible gift of His Spirit dwelling within us. We aren’t just handed instructions; we have a compassionate Instructor guiding our journey. He is our Savior, freeing us not only from the grip of sin but also from its daily impact, empowering us to walk in His truth, embrace His teachings, and follow His lead with unwavering faith. The line “For you I wait all the day long” perfectly captures our heart's desire to look to God as our teacher, leader, and Savior. As we greet each new day, let’s open our hearts wide, ready to receive His divine guidance. Invite God into your daily life and stay attuned to His whispers. Always remember, He is here with us, gently guiding and leading us forward in His light and truth. Embrace the journey with hope and expectancy, trusting that He will illuminate your path. ~ Pastor Bill

4/15/2025
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.”
I draw profound inspiration from the way Jesus often took time away from His hectic life. The challenges He faced, because of his love for Israel, were monumental, highlighting the necessity of finding solitude to deepen His connection with His Heavenly Father. It's awe-inspiring to think that, even as the incarnate God, Jesus sought moments alone to pray. This teaches us an important lesson: Prayer is a powerful tool that can change both the individual praying and the world around them. We all need to step back at times to recharge and reconnect with the divine strength, wisdom, and purpose that can only be found in God's presence. Therefore, may we never become too busy being so busy that we neglect our intimate fellowship with our Heavenly Father. ~ Pastor Bill

4/8/2025
Scripture: Lamentations 3:22-23 “Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”
“God's mercy is so great that you may sooner drain the sea of its water, or deprive the sun of its light, or make space too narrow, than diminish the great mercy of God” ~ Charles Spurgeon. What a stunning testament to the infinite and pure love of God! Today, we are reminded through scripture of the limitless nature of His compassion and the eternal essence of His faithfulness. Let us hold onto this beautiful truth, understanding that God's mercy knows no bounds and can overcome any obstacles we may face. Don’t let your struggles overshadow the gentle love He holds for you. If you feel a sense of distance from God, listen to His call today. Acknowledge your shortcomings, and step back into His warm embrace where you can uncover the vast depths of His merciful love and His unwavering faithfulness. ~ Pastor Bill

4/1/2025
Psalm 145:3 & 147:5 “Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; His greatness no one can fathom. Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure.”
The vastness of God surpasses all human understanding; it is unmatched and beyond comparison. Recognizing the true scale of His greatness sparks a deep renewal within us. We become aware of His extraordinary power to safeguard us, His insightful guidance, the vastness of His mercy that offers forgiveness, and the richness of His grace that enhances our existence. This awareness triggers a significant internal shift. Beloved friends, God is indeed magnificent. He is limitless. His greatness is beyond comprehension, and His wisdom has no boundaries. Let our thoughts at the dawn of each day and our songs at the close of each night honor our divine Lord. As we reflect on His unwavering love and eternal mercy, let us joyfully proclaim: "Great is the LORD, worthy of all praise. His greatness and might are immeasurable." ~ Pastor Bill (Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty!!)

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.
