Weekly thoughts from Pastor Bruce

Weekly Devotion

Scripture Psalms 51:1-2, “Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.”
Consider the 51st Psalm, born from King David's gravest mistakes: adultery with Bathsheba and the murder of her husband Uriah. If a man guilty of such devastating sins could find forgiveness and restoration, what does that mean for you and I? David's psalm proves that no transgression is beyond redemption. His genuine remorse and heartfelt plea resulted in complete transformation, demonstrating that repentance has real, life-changing power. Right now, you may feel the suffocating weight of sin… that cloud of despair… that crushing isolation. But you don't have to stay there. Take that courageous first step. Approach God with genuine remorse and an open heart, just as David did. When you do, you invite divine intervention into your struggle. Your pain becomes the very pathway to wholeness. The choice is yours: remain in despair or embrace restoration. Don’t wait any longer, let your healing begin today! ~ Pastor Bill

Scripture: Isaiah 41:9-10 I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you. I said, ‘You are my servant’; I have chosen you and have not rejected you. So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.’”

Trials and challenges are invaluable experiences that play a crucial role in deepening our faith. During these difficult times, we can find tremendous solace in the steadfast promise that our Divine Creator is always there to offer unwavering support. As we navigate life's obstacles, it is essential to remember that God is not only present but is also ready to uplift and empower us, particularly when fear and doubt threaten to overwhelm us. The assurances found in today's scripture remain unshakeable, serving as a solid foundation for us to rely on. My friends, our Sovereign Lord invites us to place our trust in His sacred vows. The more we embrace this trust, the more resilient our faith will become. Cherish these moments; they will draw you closer to Him and strengthen your faith journey. ~ Pastor Bill

Scripture Jeremiah 1:5, Psalm 139:14, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart… I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” 
In a world that often encourages us to change our appearance or personality to fit in, our scripture text declares a powerful truth: God didn't create you carelessly—He fashioned you with extraordinary love and intentional design. Every detail matters. Every part of you has purpose. You are not meant to be anyone's duplicate. You are a unique creation, irreplaceable and unrepeatable. When insecurity attacks your confidence or doubt questions your value, anchor yourself in this reality: God's love inspired your existence. Your worth isn't determined by others' opinions or society's standards—it's rooted in His grace and artistry. Ephesians 2:10 beautifully states: you are His divine masterpiece created for good works. So embrace who you are. Celebrate the incredible person God lovingly crafted you to be. Because if you think about it, that person is more than enough. ~ Pastor Bill


2/2/2026
Scripture: Isaiah 33:6: “He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the LORD is the key to this treasure.”
We all crave stability—checking our bank accounts, monitoring our health, securing our jobs—yet somehow these things keep shifting beneath our feet. Isaiah offers us a different perspective: real security doesn't come from our circumstances, but from God's presence. He's our "sure foundation," the one thing that won't crack under pressure. When we walk closely with Jesus, we unlock a "rich store" containing everything we need: salvation that rescues us from life's challenges, wisdom that helps us see what truly matters, and knowledge that keeps us aligned with God's truth. Struggling with uncertainty? Here's the key: stop trying to control everything and start nurturing the "fear of the Lord." While everything around us shifts and changes, He stays rock-solid. Take a moment to examine what you're building your life on. Is your trust anchored in God's Word, or are you betting on things that can't deliver lasting peace.  ~ 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.
