Creekside Church - Messages

Culture shapes the way we think in so many ways, and not just the simple things in life, but even the big things like how we should handle our money, raise our kids, view life, and sex. In week 3 of our series walking through the book of 1 Corinthians we see that the church in Corinth was struggling with the tension between what culture says vs. what Jesus says about sex and our bodies. Are we all...

Not unlike the church today people in the church at Corinth were struggling with sin, but instead of being broken over their sin they were boastful about it. The Apostle Paul instructs them to get the sin out of the camp and gives instructions on how they are to hold each other accountable to live lives worthy of the gospel. 

When we look at the Church today it can sometimes feel a little discouraging. There's division,  social media rants, judgement, nationalism, etc. It would be easy to look back to the early Church with a romantic view as if they always got everything right, but Paul's letter to the church at Corinth doesn't suggest that at all. The church in Corinth was struggling with a lot of messe...

Good relationships are important because God is relational. He desires to be in relationship with us and desires for us to have healthy relationships with other people. We pray this message inspires and equips you to become a healthy person in 2022. 

We live in a culture where the motivation for physical health is often vanity. An opportunity to post about yourself on social media, but what does the Bible say about our physical health? What should the motivation be and why should we strive to be healthy physically other than obvious reasons? We pray you're blessed by this message as we continue in week 4 of our Health series.

As we seek to become a church that is holistically healthy we need to continue to talk about all areas of our health. This week we dive into what it means to be an emotionally healthy person.   We pray you're inspired and equipped as we continue in week 3 of our Health series.

In 2022 we want to become the healthiest version of ourselves so we can continue to build the kingdom of God together.  The Apostle Paul told Timothy in 1 Timothy 4:7-8 "Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the l...

As we enter the new year we want to talk about our value of holistic health. We believe that if we will start as individuals to be healthy spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically, then we will eventually have healthy communities, and healthy communities are blessing to our world.  If we're going to see a movement of God that results in planting disciple making churches all over the...

Ever since the fall of humanity from the Garden of Eden the people of God have we've been waiting for a promise to be fulfilled. The promise of a messiah that would bring hope, salvation, and light in the darkness, but what would his name be? What would He be like? 

In Exodus 34 God reveals one last characteristic about Himself, that His name is Jealous. This is not the type of jealously that we would attach to an earthly relationship, but rather it means that God is jealous "for" His Name.  He cares deeply about how we represent Him to the world, but if someone were to describe you and I do you think they would use the same type of words that God d...

When we get to the part of God's Name that reveals His grace towards forgiving sin we are beyond thankful... but what about that weird part that says he revisits the sins of the parents on their children? That doesn't sound like Jesus? So what gives? Does the Bible say what it says or are we missing something? We pray you're inspired and grow in your faith as we continue in week 6 o...

In our culture "love" feels cheap. The divorce rate is overwhelming and we as a culture are constantly trying to redefine what love even is... but when we look to the scriptures we find that God defines Himself as love, and that this word is never separated from faithfulness. The two are inseparable. Today we continue to look at the character and nature of God as we continue in week 5 of...

Are you slow to anger? Do your kids, spouse, or co-workers set you off at the drop of a hat? If we're honest this is probably most of us, but aren't you thankful that God is slow to anger? This week our connections pastor Katie Tyndall walks us through God's character of being slow to anger. We pray you're inspired by todays message. 

When God revealed His name to His people it was more than just a title. His name represents His character and what He's like. What God does and how He relates to His people is directly connected to who He is. We pray you're inspired by this message as we continue in week 3 of God Has A Name. 

God revealing His name to Moses in Exodus 34 means that He wants to be known. He’s relational and desires a relationship with us. This is amazing news! … but have you ever stopped to wonder as to why God needs a name? We’re excited to dive deep into the scriptures as we continue to walk through our series God Has A Name. 

What we believe about God drives everything we do. If we see him as a judgemental God, waiting to crack down on all sinners, we live in fear or rebellion. If we see Him only as loving, but justice and righteous anger against sin is removed, we have love, but no absolute truth in our lives. So, who is He really? Join us as we explore the character of God through a very key paragraph in Exodus. We b...

After Jonah spreads the message of God's judgement over Nineveh the people begin to repent. God is moved by their repentance and He chooses to show mercy rather than judgement. This infuriates Jonah and also reveals the sin of his own heart. We don't get to choose who should receive God's grace and who shouldn't. We pray you're inspired by this message as our Jonah series...

Jonah receives a second chance from God and begins to proclaim His message of judgement to Nineveh. We worship the God of second chances! The gospel is such good news! No matter how far you've run, or fallen, God offers you a second chance,  but before we can receive His grace we have to be willing to repent. 

Jonah's story is amazing! A lot of people have heard about the prophet who got swallowed up by a giant fish, but why did Jonah end up in there in the first place? Why was he running from what God asked him to do? As we begin this brand new series it's our prayer that we would be able to apply the truth of God's word into our lives. 

In chapter 2 of the book of Jonah we find Jonah at his lowest point. After running from God's presence he hits rock bottom. How could anything good come from hitting rock bottom? If you find yourself at rock bottom today we want you to know there is hope. Sometimes God does His best work when we don't have anywhere to turn but to Him. 

The bible has roughly 500 verses about prayer, 500 verses about faith, and around 2000 verses about money and possessions. Jesus talked about money in 16 of His 38 parables. That's almost half of His sermons! Why would Jesus talk so much about this...? The bible teaches us that how we manage and spend our money reveals where our priorities, loyalties, and affections are.  It directly dictates...

If we're going to see a movement of God that results in planting disciple making churches all over the world then we have to be a people of prayer. If we're honest, we typically go to prayer when we're desperate. We use it as a last resort instead of it being our only hope. We want Creekside to be a church that is devoted to prayer. 

As we continue to press play we're going to hear the testimony of a faithful couple on why they have decided to go all in with the vision, mission, and values of Creekside Church. 

Every person has a set of internal convictions that drive their decision making and priorities. These convictions are what we value. As Creekside Church we have a set of values that drive our vision and mission. Today Pastor Gregg dives into what our values are as a church, and how that influences the way we move forward as we continue to Press Play. 

As Jesus followers we are commanded to love the Lord our God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength, and to love our neighbor as ourselves. If we're going to live this out we have to first understand how much we are loved by God.  Creekside's mission to is radically love our community and to simply equip disciple makers. We pray this message inspires and equips you to go and make d...
