Worship the Lord with us on Sunday, April 19, 2026 at 10 a.m. Pastor Brett’s topic is “Do You Know Jesus?” Our scriptures include Isaiah 53:1-7, Luke 24:13-27, and Luke 24:28-35.

Synopsis: I remember studying this passage several years ago and one of the commentators asked the question, “Do you know Jesus?” He framed the question in the context of the disciples. They seemed to know a lot about Jesus but didn’t really know Him. This question led me to look at my faith in Jesus very differently. This also changed the way I teach and hopefully preach. Today we’ll look at what Jesus wanted the disciples to live out in their life and not just know.

Worship the Lord with us on Sunday, April 12, 2026 at 10 a.m. Pastor Brett’s topic is “Faith in the Midst of Doubt.” Our scriptures include Psalm 16:1-6, 1 Peter 1:3-9, and John 20:19-31.

Synopsis: It is Sunday evening and Jesus’ disciples are gathered in the upper room behind locked doors for fear of the Jews. They are scared; they’ve watched from a distance as Jesus was crucified and they know that it will only be a matter of time before they suffer a similar fate. Fear and uncertainty have gripped them. They are experiencing terrible grief over Jesus’ death and I’m sure all of them feel bad at how they left Jesus abandoned. Peter must have been feeling especially bad as he verbally denied knowing Jesus three times.

Worship with us this Palm Sunday, March 29, at 10:00 am. Pastor Brett Spalding’s topic is “Following Jesus: The Easiest and Hardest Thing in the World.” Our scriptures include Zechariah 9:9-10, Psalm 118:19-26, and John 12:12-26.

Synopsis: Today we see Jesus make His triumphant entry into Jerusalem, accepting and embracing His identity as Messiah. Prior to this day Jesus wanted all this kept secret. In John 6:15, Jesus even withdrew from the people when they tried to crown Him King. While the disciples were still basking in the glow of the parade, imagining what exciting and powerful role they might have in the new kingdom, Jesus explains what is really going to bring about His kingdom and the role they are going to play in it. It is the same role Jesus desires for us to play as well.

Worship our Lord with us at Community Church on Sunday, February 22, 2026. Pastor Brett Spalding’s topic is “Transfiguration.” Our scriptures include 2 Peter 1:16-21, Deuteronomy 18:15-18, and Luke 9:28-36.

Synopsis: Jesus’ popularity is peaking giving His authoritative teachings, many healings, and the feeding of 5,000 and 4,000. Jesus has just begun to teach the disciples how He is going to suffer, die, and be resurrected. At this point, Jesus takes Peter, James, and John away with Him to pray. During this time, Jesus is transfigured before their very eyes, and the voice of God the Father tells the three disciples to listen to Jesus. We’ll talk about this event Sunday and what all of the symbolism is about and how that applies to us today.
