Weekly Devotion

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.
One of my favorite reminders from Celebrate Recovery is that God never wastes a hurt. Many of you know that I live with severe, chronic back pain. Still, God continues to use me to minister to others who are desperately suffering. When I share how God carries me through my absolute hardest days, it brings them total comfort and sparks the fearless courage they need to keep going! My friends, God is the God of all comfort and compassion, and He’s equipped you to be His beacon of hope to those around you. Today, choose to be someone’s miracle by sharing how generously God has comforted you. In doing so, He becomes their spark of hope and turns their lowest moment into a breathtaking new beginning! ~ Pastor Bill

Scripture: Proverbs 28:13: “Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper,
but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.”
Proverbs 28:13 isn't just an ancient warning; it's a mirror reflecting our own need for honesty. When we try to cover up our flaws or justify our missteps it causes separation from God’s holiness that drains our energy and leaves us living in defeat rather than freedom. Yet, there is profound hope in the turning point. Confession isn't about fear or condemnation; it is the bridge that leads us back into right standing with God. The moment we stop hiding and honestly lay our heart open before God, the chasm closes, and we are welcomed back into His strength and empowering restoration (See 1 John 1:9). My friends, God does not greet our confession with a slammed door, but with open arms. His infinite mercy washes away the shame and guilt forever. I encourage you to come to Jesus today and receive His complete restoration and perfect peace. ~ 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 our topic. As we delve into today’s passage, 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, as you allow Him to illuminate every step of your journey. ~ 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.
