"We've Got a Friend in High Places" (A Time for Gratitude, pt. 3) sermon by Misty Creek Community Church senior pastor, Stephen Streett.

“The Goodness of God ” PSALM 100 The 100th Psalm was written for the people of Israel in order to help the people remember that God is their helper. God had basically said to them, “When you come into the promised land, and settle down in your warm homes, and you have plenty to eat……don’t forget Me……I led you out of the wilderness and I brought you into a land flowing with milk and honey.” But it...

A Time For Gratitude Part 1: “The Deepest Thanks”  Some veterans bear visible signs of their service: a missing limb, a jagged scar, a certain look in the eye. Others may carry the evidence inside them: a pin holding a bone together, or like my father who served in Vietnam, several pieces of shrapnel in his arms, legs, and face.  Except in parades, however, the men and women who have kep...

Life is a Gift --All Saints Sunday Hebrews 12:1 and Luke 22:14-20 This Sunday is All Saints Sunday. We will gather to worship God, especially remember, honour, and be grateful for those who have gone before us. May we remember that all of life is an act of praise to God—our worship extends to the fellowship and service that takes place all week long. Sunday, we will celebrate Holy Communion togeth...

Pastor Stephen Streett addresses the question, "Who Is Jesus?" in this inspiring message from Misty Creek Community Church.

YOUR WAKE-UP CALL Philippians 3:4b-14 What does it take to get you fully awake and ready for a new day? Are you one of those people who wake up easily and jump out of bed? Or are you one of those people who need to be shaken awake and kicked out of bed before you can start your morning? If the second description sounds more like you, then you will relate to today’s lesson from the Scriptures. It w...

A pair of brief sermons from the 2020 Bluegrass & BBQ service. 1st segment: Pastor Stephen Streett (Misty Creek Community Church) 2nd segment: Pastor Mitch Hagins (First Baptist Church of Sandy Springs). 

HOW DO WE FORGIVE? Matthew 18:21-35 In today’s lesson Simon Peter wanted to know exactly what the Master expected out of him when it came to forgiveness. The prominent Rabbis of the day were teaching that one should forgive his brother three times. Was that enough? Simon Peter wondered. So, one day he asked Christ this important question: “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I for...

"Bridging the Generational Gap" - 9/27/20 Matthew 21:28-32  We all know people whose first response to anything is always “No!” Fortunately, many of these somewhat ornery people have good hearts, and if they have time to reconsider and see the worth of a project, they will eventually pitch in and be among the best workers. That was the first son in this parable that Jesus told. He was initial...

Misty Creek is On the Move with Christ Many churches are known for one specific type of ministry: worship, preaching, teaching, youth, community programs, discipleship, or evangelism. I believe Misty Creek is gifted in all these areas, however, when I hear people talking about Misty Creek, I hear them say that we are a missions-focused church and that we love to help people.  And that’s true:...

UNITY Sermon by Misty Creek Community Church Senior Pastor, Stephen Streett. 9/13/2020.

When Buildings Fall and Waters Rise Matthew 14:22-33 Many of us know where we were and what we were doing 19 years ago September 11, 2001. We remember how we felt because to some degree we have felt that way ever since, and this pandemic, divisiveness, riots, killings, natural disasters and anniversaries such as this one remind us of the return of Christ and the coming judgment for this earth. Wha...

8/30/20 Sermon from Misty Creek Community Church, Senior Pastor, Stephen Streett.

When Life is Put on Hold Part 4 In it for the Long Haul John 6:60-69 Jesus knew what it was to deal with fair weather fans. As he began to share the difficult details of his ministry, many of his followers started getting disenchanted. Just a short time before they wanted to crown him king. They wanted to push him into the political arena. They wanted him to establish his kingdom in this world. Th...

8/16/2020 Sermon from Misty Creek Community Church: "Searching For Happiness" - When Life Is Put On Hold, Part 4. Senior Pastor: Stephen Streett

"Filling the Emptiness Within" - When Life Gets Put On Hold, pt. 1 “Bread of Life? Jesus lived up to the title, but an unopened loaf does a person no good. Have you received the bread?” asks Lucado. “Have you received God’s forgiveness?” Those are questions you and I need to answer this day. The world is still hungry for true bread. Christ is that bread. “Sir,” the people said in response to Chris...

What Essential in Your Life? Pt. 5: Breaking Down the Barriers that Divide Us" 7/12/2020 Sermon from Misty Creek Community Church in Sandy Springs, GA. Senior Pastor: Stephen Streett

What is Essential in your life Part 4: Not Good Enough: The Power of God’s Goodness  Genesis 50:15-21 It may seem odd on the Sunday after Independence Day to share a sermon on the power of God’s goodness! In fact, it may seem odd not to focus on God’s grace “shed on thee,” or on America as a “shining city on a hill.” Never mind that Jesus called the church to assume this position among all th...

“What is Essential in Your Life? “Part 3 Unexpected Setbacks  June 28, 2020 Genesis 17:15-22 Setbacks are a part of life. How many of you have ever had a setback? When you receive the setback news, you will either fall apart or choose to find the good in the situation and trust God. The second choice is much, much harder than the first, but the payoff is immeasurable.  Sometimes we only...

"What is Essential in Your Life?" Part 2  (Self-worth/Approval of Others) Matthew 10:29-31 “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” Eleanor Roosevelt We all like to be appreciated. Psychologists tell us that it is one of the greatest desires in every individual. If you are honest with yourself, you will admit that you enjoy being appreciated—we all do. Whether it is a pat on...
