Creekside Community Church Sermons

Steve Lammers preaches on the Great Commission that Jesus leaves to the 11 Disciples and to every follower of Christ.

The Great Commandment becomes the Great Setup without the Great Invitation. But the answer to our greatest need is an interesting and unexpected invite from Jesus Himself.

What does God require of us? Depending on who you listen to, all sorts of different answers are given to that question. But when we hear Jesus' response, we find something that is both far more simple and far more difficult than any alternative. We are aware of the audio issue with this week's sermon. We have addressed the issue, so next week's sermon should be better!

As we close in on another election, and with everything else going on that threatens to divide, we take a look at the power of the stories we tell ourselves about other people.

We wrap up our journey through James by considering James' last major command: be patient.

James exposes the twin evils of arrogance in the future and trust in riches. Underneath it all is the freeing truth that God is in control of it all.

In the face of our sin, a great promised is offered by God. If we humble ourselves, He will lift us up.

Starter of great fires. World of unrighteousness. Stain of the whole life. Fire from hell. James has strong words for a small body part: the tongue.

Faith is the beating heart of the Christian life. This week, James introduces us to the pulse that verifies a healthy heart.

James begins a list of "stains" that will distract the world from God's love for us. The first one out of the gate is not what you might expect!

James shows us the type of life that is considered pure worship: both actively loving our neighbors and keeping ourselves free of sin.

Creekside joins over 20 churches in Gainesville celebrating the fact that we are all children of our One Heavenly Father.

We start a new series in the letter from James by considering one of the most audacious commands in the whole Bible: when you face a trial, count it an occasion for...joy?

We wrap up this four-part series by asking how we can earnestly love each other when we disagree on matters of wisdom...like how to respond to a global pandemic.

None of us wants to miss this opportunity to grow into a better version of ourselves. But how can we wait well when we have no way of knowing when the waiting will end?

We’re in the thick of it. As we battle the emotional effects of the COVID outbreak, where can we turn for hope amidst the anxiety and fear?

Christians are not at home in this world, and never is this more clear during a season of intense disruption. What guidance does the Bible have for us as we wait for our eternal home?

John winds down his letter with a summary of the main points and one key takeaway from the letter. Jesus is coming soon, so now is the time to respond to His information.

As John's visions wind down, we come to his sneak preview of the place Jesus is preparing for His followers. And in that place, God's people will experience their eternal happily ever after.

This week, the end of the story is spoiled. The return of the Jesus will mean the end of all His enemies. The question is this: whose side did you fight for?

The end has come, the battle lines are drawn. This week, as we continue in our series on Revelation, we listen as final judgment is pronounced over the great enemy of God, Babylon.

Jumping ahead in our Revelation series, we see the end to which Jesus' resurrection points: a new heaven and earth. And in the midst of it all, we see the greatest promise possible, the promise of God dwelling with His people.

Mike wraps up a two-part series looking at the virtuous life amidst a global pandemic shelter-in-place order. This week, we consider the second of two virtues: patience. What if we took this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to model the patient love of God for our neighbors?

Steve kicks off a two-part series looking at the virtuous life amidst a global pandemic shelter-in-place order. This week, we consider the first of two virtues: courage. If God is for us, who can be against us? Be strong and courageous, for God is with us.

How long, O Lord? This is the prayer of the persecuted saints. And in Revelation 15 and 16, they get their answer.
