Greater Promises
Sunday message from Community Church Playa given on June 28 by Pastor Oscar Navarro. In the final week of our Exiles series, we are reminded that God is faithful even when we are not. We often abandon the promises of God for lesser things, but Scripture calls us to trust the God who restores, renews and keeps His word.
Scripture References: Jeremiah 33:12-24
The Sounds of Restoration
Sunday message from Community Church Playa given on June 7 by Pastor Markel Croston. Faith does not wait for circumstances to improve; it trusts God enough to obey Him in the middle of uncertainty.
In Jeremiah 32, while Jerusalem is under siege and the future looks impossible, Jeremiah buys a field as a tangible act of hope in God’s promises. This message reminds us that even when life feels unresolved, God invites us to trust Him not just in theory, but through faithful action.
A Faith That Acts

The New Covenant
Sunday message from Community Church Playa given on June 7 by Pastor Amen Bains. This week in our Exiles series, we look at Jeremiah 31:31–34 and God's promise of a New Covenant. In a world where we often look for hope in better circumstances or greater effort, God offers something deeper – a transformed heart, a restored relationship with Him, and the forgiveness made possible through Jesus.
God’s Heart Towards The Suffering
Sunday message from Community Church Playa given on May 31 by Pastor Oscar Navarro. This week in our Exiles series, we look at Jeremiah 31:15–30 and discover how God meets us in our grief without leaving us there. His promises give us a hope that can endure even when our circumstances have not yet changed.
Mourning Into Gladness
This week in our Exiles series, we look at Jeremiah 31:1–14 and discover how God meets weary people with His restoring love. Through the Good Shepherd, we’re reminded that true rest is not found in easier circumstances, but through relationship with Jesus. Even in seasons of sorrow and exhaustion, God leads His people from mourning into joy and from striving into rest.
I Will Restore You
This week in Exiles, we explore Jeremiah 30:11–24 and how God meets us in the reality of our sin and suffering. Our deepest wounds cannot heal themselves, but through Jesus, God brings restoration, healing, and new life.
A Hope Greater Than Fear
Fear can shape how we see the future. In Jeremiah 30, God reminds His people that His promises are greater than fear.
The True Prophet
This week in our Exiles series, we look at Jeremiah 29:15–32 and what it means to discern truth when competing voices promise easier paths and quicker hope. Even when false voices distort reality, God calls us to trust the True Prophet, knowing our future is secure because Jesus has already made the way home.
A Posture of Presence and Engagement
We begin our new series Exiles by looking at Israel’s story of being removed from the Promised Land, and what it reveals about our own lives when things don’t go as planned. Even in exile, God is not absent.
The Reality of Exile
This week in our Exiles series, we look at Jeremiah 29:4-7 and what it means to follow God when life isn’t going as planned. Even in seasons that feel temporary, uncertain, or out of place, God calls us to faithful presence, not passive waiting.
