Weekly Messages - Community Church of Greensburg | Batesville

What happens when religion gets in the way of loving people? Jesus healed a man who had suffered for years, but instead of celebrating, the religious leaders were outraged. Too often, we elevate rules over relationships and miss what matters most. What if faith was never meant to be an excuse to ignore the person right in front of us?

We like proof. We want to see before we believe. But what if the kind of faith Jesus calls us to requires something more? In this message, we explore how one man was asked to take Jesus at His word—just like we are today. Could trusting before seeing be the key to real, life-changing faith?

What if faith isn’t a leap in the dark but a response to evidence? In the Gospel of John, eyewitnesses recognize that Jesus’ signs point to something far greater. In this message, we’ll explore how turning water into wine isn’t just a miracle—it symbolized the far better work God was doing through Jesus.

Suffering is inevitable. Our response to suffering matters — we can choose to respond poorly or we can choose to respond well. Lets explore together how God empowers us to respond in freedom and with joy.

Since our childhood, we are taught that maturity is when we move from being dependent to being independent. But societal trends have shifted our notion of independence to an unhealthy and selfish way of living. What if there was a healthier version of the tension between being dependent and independent? Spoiler alert: there is and it is a healthier way for us to live life that involves not only leaning on others but learning to let others lean on us as well.

Why is it that, in a world more connected than ever, so many of us feel isolated and alone? Isolation isn’t just hard—it’s harmful, affecting us mentally, physically, and even societally. In this message, we’ll uncover the profound impact of isolation and begin to explore the key to living a flourishing life.

Just like your physical core is vital to overall fitness, there’s a spiritual core that shapes your faith—and it’s closely tied to your relationship with money. When your finances are aligned with God’s principles, it strengthens your connection with Him and leads to massive gains in your faith life.

What is God’s plan for the world? It might not look the way we expect. In a culture that celebrates self-importance, the paradox of God’s design is this: in making ourselves nobody, we discover our true purpose. Could it be that serving others is the key to the world God envisions?

Have you ever noticed how we show up early, cheer loud, and stay until the end for our favorite teams and performers? We bring a lot of energy and excitement to entertainment, but sometimes we struggle to see the value of that same energy and commitment to church. Perhaps we've lost sight of what a church service is and the opportunity it offers us to grow deeper in our connection with others and our connection with God.  

Faith grows bigger and stronger when it’s developed in a group setting. In this message we’ll consider how being part of a group gives space to ask our questions, build friendships, and take new steps of faith.
