Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. That’s Psalm 127:1, and it encapsulates what we’re going to be studying together this weekend. As we look forward to seeing the Lord continue to build his church at Compass, it is imperative that we continue to express our dependence on him in everything we do through prayer.…

God is building his church here at Compass Bible Church! As we approach the first anniversary of our launch, we want to take some time to reflect on that precious reality. In this first installment of our God at Work series, we will look to 1 Corinthians 12 to discover your part in this work. If you’re a follower of Jesus, you need the church to be…

God is a protector of his people, and Christians should always seek to detect his gracious deliverance in its varied forms, knowing God is worthy of our humble praise and generous response.Di Compass Bible Church

Have you ever been in a dark room when someone turns on a light? If you’re not expecting it, it takes a second for your eyes to adjust to the sharp contrast. No matter what, whether you’re expecting it or not, it’s impossible to ignore the impact that light makes. In our passage this weekend, Jesus uses light as a metaphor to describe the effect Ch…

While many will vehemently resist the biblical gospel, we must see through their biases and double down on the authenticated message God has commissioned us to share persuasively.Di Compass Bible Church

As the dust settles from the resurrection of Lazarus, we find Jesus at a dinner with his friends in a scene that reminds us of the cost and devotion of true discipleship. John 12:1-11 will provide a foil of faithful and fraudulent discipleship while reminding us that faithful discipleship means a willingness to sacrifice everything to follow Jesus.…

What would you have done after seeing Jesus raise Lazarus from the dead? I don’t know about you, but I would be pretty impressed! To be sure, some were, but others actually began to plot his murder! There are many times in this life the world will leave us shaking our heads in amazement. It’s these times that we must remember God’s sovereign plan a…

Future Stability, Present Action (Hebrews 12:28-29) | Pastor Doug AtterburyDi Compass Bible Church

Di Pastor Mike Elliott

In John 11:1-27, death seems to win. Jesus’ friend falls ill, and rather than rushing to heal him, Jesus lets him die! Why would Jesus let death win? What was his plan? How should all of this impact our own view of death today? Join us this weekend at Compass for the first installment of our new series: “Taking on Death.”…

When a Christian thinks of “works,” it’s often in the context of something negative. E.g., “No one can be saved by works.” And while that is true, and the connotation is understandable, Jesus’ works were different. In our passage this weekend, Jesus will appeal to his works as reason enough for his opponents to believe in him even if they won’t bel…

Women's Spring Tea 2024Di Compass Bible Church

Jesus said, “I am the good shepherd.” You’ve probably heard that before. Maybe you even grew up with a painting of a shepherd hanging on the wall with those words underneath. But what does that mean that Jesus is our shepherd? Why do we even need a shepherd? And what good is a shepherd who dies while protecting the sheep? These are questions that w…

Just as Paul was brought before earthly tribunals to be examined, we need to be sure by faith we avoid God’s tribunal and prepare to stand to give an account before Christ’s tribunal.Di Compass Bible Church

In this week’s sermon, we find an apt metaphor for our salvation stories in the life of a man born blind. In an act of unmerited favor, Jesus gave sight to the man born blind, and in response, the man gave his life to following Jesus. Whatever the details of your testimony may be, we all have this same basic foundation. If, in Christ, you have been…

While we will always have opposition as Christians in this world, we must never fear but only trust God and proceed with wisdom, as we continue to live our lives for him.Di Compass Bible Church
