Slip of the Tongue - Godly Speech
May 15, 2020 16:24 - 29 minutes - 27 MBThe things that we speak aren’t so much a word problem but rather a heart problem. Jesus calls us to look beyond the symptoms of our words in order to focus on the source that causes our words to dishonor him.
Quick to Listen, Slow to Speak
May 03, 2020 17:36 - 31 minutes - 28.9 MBThe words we speak to our family members during this quarantine will stick. They will stay stuck in our relationships, whether it be with a spouse, a son, or a daughter. The good news is that you can make your words work FOR you and your family during a quarantine.
This Is Us - Biblical Authority
April 26, 2020 23:01 - 42 minutes - 38.7 MBWe will stay centered on God’s Word by holding the Bible above us as our authority as we help everyone understand and apply it.
This Is Us - Spiritual Power
April 26, 2020 13:52 - 1 hour - 68.9 MBThe Christian life isn’t just difficult to live. It’s impossible to live. The Christian life is a supernatural life, which means you can’t live it alone. We must live the Christian life out of the power & guidance of the Holy Spirit.
This Is Us - Lead with Prayer and Respond in Worship Pt. 2
April 05, 2020 17:42 - 1 hour - 72.5 MBWorry is what happens when you meditate on your problems. Anxiety is what happens when you meditate on the things that threaten peace. Worship is what happens when you meditate on God and enter into His presence and the residue of His glory. As God gets bigger in worship, our worries and anxiety get smaller and lose their hold on us.
This Is Us - Lead With Prayer & Respond in Worship
March 29, 2020 23:45 - 1 hour - 60.2 MB“When you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you” (Matthew 6:6).
This Is Us - Joyful Service
March 27, 2020 17:23 - 53 minutes - 48.9 MBIn this value, we are saying that we will be a church that will serve with a reckless generosity that only makes sense in light of the generosity of God’s grace.
This Is Us - Intentional Discipleship Pt. 2
March 27, 2020 17:16 - 41 minutes - 38.2 MBSpiritual growth is a partnership between us and God where He brings all the resources and I intentionally tap into and live out of those resources. It’s the difference between “Training” and “Trying.”
This Is Us - Intentional Discipleship
March 08, 2020 18:53 - 40 minutes - 37.5 MBA disciple is a student, apprentice, or pupil. Because Jesus was known as a Rabbi (teacher), He had disciples. It was the goal of every disciple to become like their teacher. They desired to think like Him, act like Him, talk like Him. To become a disciple, we must accept Jesus as our teacher. We must believe that He is right, not just about heaven, but about everything. We must adhere to His teaching, not just when He talks about eternal life, but when He talks about things like marriage, ...
All Things New - Baptism Celebration (March 1, 2020)
March 01, 2020 19:16 - 17 minutes - 16.3 MBBrian Baker, one of the elders at SCC shares his story.
This Is Us - Our Vision
February 24, 2020 17:50 - 41 minutes - 38.1 MBThe vision of Shelbyville Community Church is to be a disciple-making church that brings hope and healing to our community. We are to be salt and light. What this means is that you are valuable and unique. You are meant to represent God’s healing and restoration to our community. You are meant to preserve and transform the culture of our community. God can use the dark parts of your story to glorify Him. and You are meant to exist beyond yourself, flavoring the lives of others.
What Kind Of Person Do I Have To Be?
February 17, 2020 20:04 - 42 minutes - 38.8 MBGuest Speaker, Dr. Larry Moyer, looks at the story of Zacchaeus found in Luke 19. Zacchaeus was a tax-collector and not viewed highly by his peers. His encounter with Jesus changed everything.
This Is Us - Relational Environments
February 09, 2020 22:03 - 36 minutes - 33 MBFrom the Trinity to the 10 commandments, to the fruit of the spirit, over and over again we see the importance of relationships throughout God’s story. Our prayer is that Jesus will use relational environments at SCC places where our own humility & transparency set the stage for the Holy Spirit to do some of his best work in our lives.
This Is Us - Our Mission
February 02, 2020 19:41 - 28 minutes - 26.5 MBJesus has not given us a mission that we can accomplish alone or in our own strength. It takes a disciple to make another disciple, as programs alone will never be enough. It’s so vital that we each become people that radically love and lead like Jesus.
This Is Us - Relational Evangelism
January 27, 2020 00:33 - 38 minutes - 35 MBEveryone you know and love desperately needs Jesus. Even those you dislike and avoid have a deep need for your Savior. But for a variety of reasons, it’s possible to go through life blind and distracted from that need. This is one of the reasons everyone needs to be plugged into a church that reminds us often how vital it is to bring the people in our lives to Jesus.
+ Nothing: Galatians 6:14-15
January 19, 2020 21:11 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBPaul states that when we put our faith in Christ we become a new creation. He goes further in the book of Colossians by saying that Christ is in us, that we are in him, and that we are hidden with him in God. Far too many of us identify as sinners saved by grace. Paul challenges this thinking by saying you're a new creation! The old has passed the new has come.
+ Nothing: Galatians 6:7-10
January 12, 2020 23:43 - 40 minutes - 37.5 MBMost of your friends think the message of Christianity is ‘Be good! Here’s the bar, now measure up to it.” They couldn’t be more wrong. The message of the Christian faith isn’t that we have done anything, but that we believe that someone ELSE has. This is what separates Christianity from every other world religion.
+Nothing: Galatians 6:7-8
January 05, 2020 20:48 - 44 minutes - 40.3 MBYou reap what you sow. This is a spiritual law that is as real and measurable as the law of gravity. If we sow to the spiritual nature, we will reap the good fruit that comes from that nature. But if we sow to the flesh we will reap the whirlwind that comes from that nature.
+ Nothing: Galatians 6:3-5
December 31, 2019 00:14 - 41 minutes - 38.2 MBIt’s easy for us to compare ourselves to others in order to feel like we measure up. We feel the need to justify our weaknesses or to make ourselves appear to have it all together when we’re actually a train wreck inside. But when we’re willing to see ourselves as God sees us, that all starts to change. The need to compare ourselves to others in order to find our worth begins to fade, and we find purpose in bearing others’ burdens while inviting them to help bear ours.
+ Nothing: Galatians 4:4-5
December 23, 2019 14:53 - 45 minutes - 41.9 MBThe holidays typically mean time with family. And family has a way of driving us nuts in ways that no one else can. It’s so easy to look at everyone else and judge how they act, what they say, and what they believe. Jesus gives us a good reminder to worry about the plank in our own eye before looking at the speck of dust in someone else’s eyes.
+ Nothing: Galatians 6:2
December 15, 2019 20:13 - 35 minutes - 32.1 MBBurdens aren’t something that we’re called to carry alone. In the life of the Church, burdens aren’t so much a “you” or a “me” thing as they are an “us” thing. In fact, when we follow the Holy Spirit’s lead & bear each other’s burdens, those are some of the times where God is most honored.
+ Nothing: Galatians 6:1
December 08, 2019 19:09 - 44 minutes - 40.4 MBWhen it comes to people, God is in the restoration business. It’s what He does. It’s who He is, and He invites us into that work. We are commanded in the name of love to “restore” one another.
+ Nothing: Galatians 5:16-26
December 01, 2019 19:32 - 45 minutes - 41.5 MBLike an apple tree, we can't produce fruit unless we have outside help. Trees need good soil, water, and sunlight. Christians produce fruit because of the spirit, not their own efforts. In Galatians 5:16-26, Paul tells us to walk by the spirit, look at the obvious, and remember the good news.
+ Nothing: Galatians 5:13-15
November 24, 2019 21:52 - 34 minutes - 31.5 MBThe “one-anothers” of the New Testament are simply specific applications of Jesus’ command to love one another. In other words, it’s unloving to refuse to forgive someone. It’s unloving to refuse to submit to the needs of another. It’s unloving to refuse to carry someone else's burden. Imagine a world where people were skeptical of what we believed but envious of how well we treated one another.
+ Nothing: Galatians 5:1-12
November 17, 2019 19:33 - 46 minutes - 42.1 MBIn Galatians 5:6, the Apostle Paul makes an astounding and clarifying statement. He says, “The ONLY thing that counts is faith expressing itself in love.” Why would Paul say that? Did He REALLY mean that faith and love were the ONLY things that count in this life? The short answer is: yes.
+ Nothing: Galatians 4:21-5:1
November 10, 2019 19:06 - 34 minutes - 31.7 MBUp until this point, Paul has been a bit aggressive in his approach with the recipients of his letter. Paul admits it in 4:20, saying "I wish i could change my tone with you, but I'm perplexed by you." Paul then takes a different approach by looking at the ancestry fo the Jewish people. He uses it to remind them that they are people of promise and that they're people that are free through Jesus.
+ Nothing: Galatians 4:8-20
November 04, 2019 12:59 - 46 minutes - 43 MBIf you don’t believe in sin, just look around. Listen to the news. Pay attention to the things your friends and relatives say and do. If you don’t believe in sin—have children. They are wonderful mirrors. Children come into the world ready for things like selfishness and deceit. We don’t have to teach them those things, on the contrary, we have to teach our children how to share and to tell the truth! This is what makes the gospel of Jesus so important. Sin is not a casual problem. It...
+ Nothing: Galatians 4:1-7
October 27, 2019 22:40 - 40 minutes - 37.3 MBOne of the many hopes held out by the gospel is that as God’s children, we are His heirs. But what exactly is it that we will inherit? Join us this weekend as we tease out some of what it means for us to be heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ.
+ Nothing: Galatians 3:26-29
October 21, 2019 01:31 - 30 minutes - 28.2 MBOur culture has lots of different barriers that threaten to divide different groups of people from one another. But when the gospel comes into the picture? Everything changes! The good news of Jesus doesn’t just maintain the status quo. It compels us to bring those barriers down.
+ Nothing: Galatians 3:15-25
October 14, 2019 02:20 - 30 minutes - 28.2 MBFor God’s people, the Old Covenant law functioned kind of like a set of training wheels, preparing them for the day when Jesus would come to set them free from the old way of life & give them a new way to live. It can be tempting to live as if we’re simply keeping to a set of rules rather than pursuing a relationship with a Lord & savior who created us to live freely. Join us on Sunday as we look at what Paul had to say to the Church in Galatia as they were learning to ditch their spiritual t...
+ Nothing: Galatians 3:1-5,13-14
October 06, 2019 20:41 - 31 minutes - 28.8 MBJesus once likened life in the Spirit to the flow of a river, calling out… “Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, will have streams of living water flowing from within.’ By this, He meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were later to receive. (John 7:37-39). In other words, let anybody who is dissatisfied, unhappy, discontent, who hasn’t had a real good life, let them come to me. I will give them the Holy Spirit, and He will satisfy their desires.
Baptism Celebration - September 29, 2019
September 29, 2019 19:54 - 12 minutes - 11.3 MBBaptism is a celebration of new life. Pastor Heather shares the new life she found in Jesus.
+ Nothing: Galatians 2:20
September 15, 2019 18:13 - 39 minutes - 36.4 MBI have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
+ Nothing: Galatians 2:11-21
September 08, 2019 18:52 - 30 minutes - 27.8 MBHypocrisy = Wrong behavior + Right belief. But what if the "hypocrite" label isn't reserved for a specific group of people? What is hypocrisy is a struggle that's way more widespread than we might assume? This week, we'll be looking into how one of the leaders in the early Church started behaving hypocritically and how another leader decided to step up & call him on it.
+ Nothing: Galatians 2:1-10
September 03, 2019 13:08 - 36 minutes - 33.2 MBAnytime we add to the Gospel, we rob it of the freedom it's meant to bring. Even adding great things can easily make the good news of Jesus about us and not Jesus. The gospel plus anything means we're still trying to earn God's love, favor, and forgiveness. In the book of Galatians, Paul is addressing this issue head-on and pleading with them to be a unified church that believes the gospel + nothing = everything.
+ Nothing: Galatians 1:11-24
August 25, 2019 17:20 - 44 minutes - 41 MBThe hope held out by the good news of Jesus is that you can have a former life. The offer of the gospel is that no matter what you are dealing with today that God will help you grow past that tomorrow. Often people will say, “If God loves me just the way I am, why would He ask me to change?” The call to change is actually rooted in and flows out of the Love of God.
+ Nothing: Galatians 1:1-10
August 18, 2019 19:13 - 31 minutes - 28.8 MBWhy did Jesus have to die? Why couldn’t God have just forgiven us? The answer is: Death is the engine of life. When Jesus died on the cross, He was acting in accordance with the way things are and with the way our world already works.
Masterpiece - Forgiveness
August 11, 2019 19:47 - 35 minutes - 32.8 MBBitterness is baggage. It’s always there, always in the way. It’s heavy. Bitterness bears a heavy cost. Isn’t it time for you to let yours go? This weekend we look at forgiveness as an indispensable tool God uses to shape and mold us into the image of His Son.
Masterpiece - Service
July 28, 2019 19:43 - 47 minutes - 43.6 MBSome of the most famous works of art were commissioned pieces, meaning they were created to be given away. As God's masterpiece, we too were created to be given away. Jesus came not to be served, but to serve and that's the calling that's been placed on us all.
Masterpiece - Fruit of the Spirit
July 21, 2019 18:52 - 38 minutes - 35.2 MBLike a farmer growing crops, our spiritual lives have the ability to produce some pretty amazing fruit. Love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control don't just happen on their own. This fruit is the product of intentional decisions. And we don't produce fruit for us to hoard, but to give it away.
Masterpiece - Music
July 15, 2019 01:33 - 39 minutes - 35.8 MBMusic has a way of communicating like nothing else. Ever hit mute while watching a horror film? The suspense is immediately muted. Music helps tell stories, it helps connect our soul to the words of our favorite songs. And scripture makes it clear that music was created for the glory of God and for our good.
Masterpiece - Rest
July 08, 2019 11:42 - 41 minutes - 37.8 MBAs a nation, we're working harder and taking fewer breaks than ever before. Due to our overconnectivity, we're stuck in the comparison trap of seeing what everyone else has and all that we're lacking. America has been called the most anxious country in the world. We're a people in search of rest.
Masterpiece - Community
June 30, 2019 22:56 - 36 minutes - 33.8 MBCommunity is a word often heard in the church. It's often heard even more at SCC because it's in our name, Shelbyville Community Church. But what does community have to do with us as a masterpiece? In the world of music, one note sounds good. But when you start playing chords and putting notes together, that's when you start making music. What if each of us, uniquely individual, were designed to work together?
Masterpiece - Prayer
June 23, 2019 20:21 - 33 minutes - 30.8 MBThe Mona Lisa, The Last Supper, The Sistine Chapel, Claude Monet’s Water Lilys. These are masterpieces that took years to create! The intentionality behind each of these pieces is remarkable. They are intimate pieces refined by the artist until completion. Unique. Done with a plan and a purpose. God uses prayer in the same way! When we have an intentional prayer life with our heavenly Father He uses it to refine us into the Masterpieces that He planned long before we were born.
Masterpiece - You Are a Masterpiece
June 17, 2019 14:22 - 27 minutes - 25.3 MBIt's pretty easy to look at mountain range or a waterfall or a beautiful sunset and be in awe of God's creation. But what if God's greatest creation, his masterpiece, wasn't found in nature, but in you?
Exodus - Organized Religion
June 11, 2019 00:59 - 51 minutes - 46.9 MBThere is a huge backlash against what is sometimes called “Organized Religion” in our culture. The tone is along these lines: “I don’t trust institutional religion. It gets in the way of true spirituality, which is better practiced at a lake or in the forest.” But what if this simply isn’t true? What do the early followers of Jesus say about the matter? What principles can we draw from the Old Testament that might help? Join us this weekend as talk about the critical need for organization...
Exodus - The Power to Persevere
June 04, 2019 02:48 - 39 minutes - 35.8 MBExodus - The Power to Persevere by ShelbyChurch
Exodus - Drawn In
May 28, 2019 03:44 - 32 minutes - 29.7 MBSometimes God says move. Sometimes God says wait. And sometimes it seems like He’s not really saying anything at all. When we’re following Jesus, discerning God’s voice week by week, day by day, moment by moment is what we do. It’s a challenge… a discipline… a blessing… and also really hard. Join us this week as we wrap up the book of Exodus & look at how Moses & the Israelites followed God as He led them via a pillar of cloud & a pillar of fire.
Exodus - Reclaimed
May 21, 2019 03:15 - 40 minutes - 36.8 MBReclaimed furniture is all the rage today. Whether it's a vintage piece scooped up at an antique shop or a feature wall made of reclaimed wood, people are repurposing old materials in some amazing ways. Our God is into reclamation too. He takes people without purpose, without a place to belong, or who are broken and repurposes them into His household to bring new beauty to our world. Join us this weekend as we talk about the amazing ministry of Jesus in our lives as a High Priest and how t...
