Silver Creek Church

Too many people believe the lie that sys you have to have your life figured out before you can draw near to God. Put simply, that's one of the most blatant lies the enemy can ever tell us! Jesus spent His ministry pursuing those who were a wreck, not avoiding them! The moment we invite Jesus into our lives, He begins to transform us from the inside out!

Having character is essential to our growth as Christ followers, but it's not always easy. This morning we look at some practical steps we can each take to develop our character each and every day!

We live in a culture that's focused on the external - what you can see is most important. But when we consider what is important to God, things are a little different. When it comes to our character and how God wants us to function as Christ followers, it's what's on the inside that counts. Our convictions, commitment to Him and His commands are what matters to Him!

Life is full of challenges, that is for sure. How we come through those difficulties speaks to our character as people, friends and Christ followers. If our character is going to be that of the kind God would desire for us to have, it will ultimately cost us something!

Water Baptism is something we see and have even talked about, but it's easy to forget the significance of what it means. Today we look at some of what water baptism is and what it isn't - our prayer is that we would all be drawn to the act of obedience in water baptism!

The idea of a gift of treasure can be hard to wrap our minds around, especially when we feel like we never have what we need. At the end of the day, all that we have comes from God - are we going to trust Him with what He has given to us? This morning we we look at some truth's of God treasure.

God has equipped us uniquely and specifically to be used by Him, the question is can we identify those attributes, skills and passions that He's given us? Once we do that, we have to choose to make use of them for His glory and the benefit of His plans for our lives!

Time is something we seem to never have enough of, but could it be because we try to cram too much into the time we do have? No matter the reason, God has given us time and time is important to Him, so what are we going to do with it?

The altar is ultimately a place to experience God - this morning we take some time to look at establishing a family altar. Ultimately, God should be at the center of our families, and the family alter is a systematic approach to doing just that!

There are plenty of concepts throughout Scripture that we may think we have a complete understand of, but as we spend more time in the Word, we get a clearer understanding of what those mean to us all! Altars are no exception - this morning we look at the functions of the altar throughout Scripture.

Dads are our heroes! Part of being a hero is acting the part. This morning, we want dads to leave encouraged and reminded of the role they play in the lives of their families!

Want to be successful in everything you do? Make sure you're connected to God! Whether you're graduating from high school or just in a new stage of life, stay connected to your source of hope!

One thing is universal - Jesus is in fact our hope. Whether you're here in Marquette or across the world, the same is true. This morning we welcome some amazing missionaries who are making sure the name of Jesus is known far and wide!

Freedom is anything but free and has been paid for at a price! This morning we take time to honor the men and women who paid the ultimate price to ensure our freedom! At the same time we remember that it was Jesus himself who did the same thing for us through His life and death on the cross. Today, we remember!

Family is important and no matter your role you play or hold in your family, it is crucial! As we navigate family dynamics we have to be willing to dedicate our families to God and allow him to be part of the chaos. If we hope to see God's best for those closest to us, He has to be part of the equation!

Happy Mother's Day, moms! We love you!

Family is something that we're kind of just stuck with, but we can't forget that God created the family unit and His intention is for it to be something amazing! Just because it was created perfect, doesn't mean it always is. Today we look at Scripture on working through family challenges in a God honoring way!

A community should be connected to its own vision - it should be part of the makeup of its people! This morning we look at what it means to be connected to our source as Christ followers!

For community to be what God intended it to be we have to make sure and be connected to its purpose! As a community of people who love God, we need to remember that His intention for community is to be together, to worship together and to sharpen each other!

Biblical community sounds like it ends up being perfect but because we're involved, it's far from it! It's hard to know how to handle broken relationships, especially when it involves other Christ followers. Today we talk about how we can work to restore and reclaim this broken friendships according to Scripture!

Often times we can look at church and community as two different things when in reality they should be one in the same! God's purpose for us as Christ's followers is to live life alongside one another, realizing that we're not in it alone! Join us as we begin our April series looking at the community we can have as we navigate through life's challenges!

The words the angel said to the women at the tomb in Matthew 28:6 are still true today - "He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay." Today we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, who through His death and resurrection extended salvation and the promise of eternity in Heaven with Him! We are so glad that you are celebrating Easter with us this mor...

The final week of Jesus' life was full of many things, but one of the prominent things was suffering. We can learn much from His suffering, both about Him and how He lived his life but also how we can handle our own suffering today! Ultimately His suffering led to our freedom that came with Easter Sunday!

Some days seem to drag on forever no matter what you do. Our longest days don't come close to an eventful Thursday night that Jesus had during the 8 Days That Changed the World. Over the course of just 18 hours Jesus was betrayed, denied and tried. The next time it feels like our world is collapsing, we can remember that Jesus overcame more than we can imagine and He promises to bring us out...

As people, we may not be able to agree on much, but one thing we can all agree on is the importance and value of special meals. For us it may be Christmas or Easter or the celebration of an anniversary that brings those meals to mind, but in the last days of Jesus' life here on Earth He took time to break bread with those closest to Him. There's a special connection that takes place when...
