College Creek Church Sermons

God is providentially moving in our lives and in our world. The question we are again faced with is will you trust him?

Dave Castle, lay-pastor share with us from the life of Jacob. 

Where will you put your faith, your passions, your power, or God's Promises?

Continuing on the theme of last week, we consider the faith of Abraham. Last week, we say his faith in the power and promises of God, and this week we consider his faith in the provision of God. It is in this passage in Genesis 22 that Abraham's faith is tested, and he declares the LORD will provide. And indeed the Lord has provided.

Patient, Persistent Faith in the Power of God Produces Patient, Persistent Faith in the Promises of God. If you find yourself doubting God's promises, take time to reflect on his power.

We turn the corner in the book of Genesis as the story focuses in on the line of Abram. Abram is called by God to leave everything behind and follow him into the unknown. Trusting in God, he goes and finds that the other side of obedience is always blessing.

We explore the story of the Tower of Babel asking the question of our own hearts, Whose kingdom am I pursuing, and whose name am I glorifying? We also see how God in Christ is reversing the curses of Babel, and in our own lives as well.

Sin is more extreme than you thought, judgment is coming quicker than you think, but God's grace is bigger than you imagined.

We have a guest preacher from our sister church Allelon Community Church share from the end of Genesis 4. 

The Story of Cain killing Abel, is really a story about God's loving and persistent pursuit of Cain. In the same way, God is in passionate pursuit of you and me, even when we sin. Even when it seems like we've run too far, God pursues all the way to death.

We look at the first sin in the Bible, and see the fallout of it. God's response is to come after us with salvation, hope, and promise. 

From the very beginning, God's love for his people has been seen in him graciously giving us gifts. 

As we start our new series in the book of Genesis, we consider three questions: Who is God, Who are we, and How are we to live in the world?

We welcome Pastor David Bempong to share with us this week from Psalm 137

Jesus is always present with all power, so I can go all places, and talk to all people about all that he commanded, and about how we all only have one hope, and that is faith in Jesus Christ.

The resurrections causes us to feel both terror and joy. 

Mother Theresa says "Loneliness is the greatest poverty," yet we are facing an epidemic of loneliness in our world today. But perhaps there is hope to be found when we look to Christ all alone on the cross. No matter the pain, suffering, trauma, temptation, exhaustion, or loneliness you are facing, Jesus has been there too. He has faced it fully, conquered it completely, and gives that victory to...

The most important and consequential trial in the history of the world was the trial of Jesus before the Roman governor Pilate. It was in this trial that Jesus was condemned and criminal was set free. And what a picture of the Gospel it is for each of us. 

The tension between the religious leaders and Jesus is building in this last week before his crucifixion. But he still finds time to give his disciples one last profound teaching. With three stories he gives a startling picture of what is to come. In the Parable of the Ten Virgins he reminds them to always be ready because they don't know when the kingdom will come. In the Parable of the Talents h...

The story of Jesus' Triumphant Entry into Jerusalem has been recited over and over again, but what is little know is the story of the other triumphant entry around the same time. But it is this other parade that forms the backdrop of the counter example to Jesus. It is in taking these two side by side that we see the difference in the kingdom of Jesus and the kingdoms of this world. And it is then...

When Jesus is asked what we must do to have eternal life, he offers an interesting answer. First, he questions why they would ask him. Then he points them to the commandments. But none of us can obey the commandments well enough, especially when Jesus points out that we need to give away everything in pursuit of him. So what hope do we have?  Jesus gives that hope elsewhere in Scripture when...

Jesus and his disciples travel to Caesarea- Philippi, a place full of the worship of other gods, so that Jesus can ask his disciples who they believe him to be. Peter powerfully confesses, "You are the Christ, the son of the living God." This week we explore together the truth of that statement, the origin of it, and the power that comes from it.  Jesus, the Christ of Heaven has been revealed...

How do we persevere in faith in the midst of the storms of life? This week we find the disciples of Jesus in the midst of a storm, when Jesus comes walking to them on the water and delivers them from it. The same Jesus that worked then is still working in the lives of his followers today. 

Honored to have Pastor JR Pinkney (Judah Temple Ministries and First Baptist Church Annapolis) open the word for us this week. A tremendous explanation of the plan of God and how we see that his plan is for unity. 

When Jesus is confronted by the Pharisees about breaking the law, he points out that the law is really all about love. The question we are faced with even today is what are the religious excuses I make to keep me from having to love other people.
