Oso Creek Church

Pastor Greg's Sunday morning teaching focuses on three parables of Jesus sharing a central theme: the anticipation of the Lord's return. These include the parable of the expectant and faithful steward found in Luke 12, and the well-known parable of the ten virgins recorded in Matthew 25. These three distinct narratives offer a wealth of insights for believers regarding the second coming of Christ....

This morning Meghan Isaacs’ is speaking a messaged titled, "Desperate Dogs", which highlights the Canaanite woman’s bold, persistent faith as she pleads with Jesus to heal her daughter. Her story shows that relentless faith, even from outsiders, is powerful and honored by God. We pray that everyone is blessed and encouraged on this Mother's Day.

In Luke 14, Jesus talks about the ‘cost of discipleship’. He then gives a quick 2 verse parable that underscores the importance of being a disciple. He tells us not to lose our ‘saltiness’. This parable & this message is all about being the SALT. What does that mean & why is it important? We pray that this message is an encouragement for you to continue on the journey and road of being a disciple...

This morning Pastor Greg unpacks 3 parables appearing in consecutive order in Luke 15. They are actually 3 parts that make up one large parable that illustrates the heart of our Heavenly Father. This is an encouraging message that emphasizes the goodness of God and how God searches, looks for, and runs to those in need as well as patiently waits for us to come home to Him. We all find ourselves li...

Christ is risen, He is risen indeed!!! This morning Pastor Greg looks at the Easter morning through the eyes of Mary, rising up early to visit the tomb. What does feel, what is she going through, and what does she EXPERIENCE. She left that morning with the proclamation: “I have seen the Lord.” What application does this have for us today? We pray that you are encouraged by this message of hope fou...

Today is Palm Sunday and Pastor Greg explains a parable that Jesus gives in Matthew 21 about His coming. Pastor Greg is actually going to discuss 2 parables that appear consecutively in this chapter. Matthew 21 is a Palm Sunday chapter for the very beginning of it records the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. Jesus uses these parables to illustrate an alarming & shocking message to the Jew...

In Luke 8, Jesus shares a parable about a lamp and its light. Today, Pastor Greg explores this parable and questions what the light and lamp symbolize in our lives. He emphasizes the importance of applying the truths of Jesus' teachings to our daily lives, referencing James' warning in the New Testament that failing to do so is self-deception and simply fooling ourselves.

In today's message, we examine Luke 18:1-8, where Jesus shares the parable of the persistent widow. This parable offers profound insight into the posture Jesus desires for His followers as we await His return. Sadly, many believers are "losing heart" for various reasons. The trials and tribulations of life, the delay of Christ's return, and the relentless attacks of the enemy can all contribute to...

In this sermon, Pastor Greg delves into the second part of Jesus' parable about the 'Rich Man & Lazarus.' This is part 2 of the message started last week. Pastor Greg extracts four crucial truths that Jesus conveyed through this story. These truths, while challenging, are essential for us to understand and apply to our lives. By examining the lives of Lazarus and the rich man, we can glean valuabl...

Pastor Greg continues the series: Little Stories, Big Truths: the Parables of Jesus. The parable for today is all about the Rich Man & Lazarus in Luke 16. We learn 8 very important things this week from this very vivid picture that Jesus paints about this life and the next life in eternity through this parable. Pastor Greg will talk about 4 this week and then the final 4 next week.

Today Pastor Greg unpacks the parables of the Wheat & Weeds as well as the Net and Fish found in Matthew 13. As we live right now in the Kingdom of Christ on this earth, the righteous have to co-exist with the unrighteous. What is the proper attitude believers should have, especially when it seems as if the ‘unrighteous’ & wicket seem to prosper and get ahead in this life. Jesus has an answer to t...

This morning Pastor Greg begins a new series based on the Parables of Jesus found in the Gospels. The series is called: Little Stories, Big Truths. Today’s message discusses why Jesus switched His teaching method and began speaking exclusively in parables as He taught about the Kingdom. What are parables? What was the purpose of Jesus speaking in parables? The answer is both encouraging and soberi...

This morning BSM collegiate ministry coordinator & Creeker Cody Conroy will be speaking from God’s Word in both messages. Cody & his wife Haley are 2 young adults who are on fire for the Lord God. It’s encouraging and contagious when you are around them. Cody has such a love & reverence for the Word of God. They have been missionaries and involved in student/young adult ministry for many years. We...

This morning Pastor Greg continues on the theme of living with intentionality for the Lord. Living with purpose, focus, direction, and intentionality for God. He talks about 3 “I Am” statements that the Apostle Paul declared. 3 statements that are intentional and so very applicable to us today.

This morning Pastor Greg speaks on intentionality. We are called as believers to live lives of intentionality for the Lord & His Kingdom. This then flows down to every part & detail of our life. We typically live with ‘good intentions’,but good intentions are way different than living with intentionality

Happy New Year!! In this first message of the year, Pastor Greg speaks on a topic that should be a distinguishing mark in every believer’s life. We see it in creation, we see it at the end of time, and for over 20 centuries it has been a part of the lives of the people of God. What we are talking about is different than the world’s happiness, it’s a lasting inner contentment and we are glad.

With one Sunday left in December, Pastor Greg visits another aspect of the Christmas story again. This part of the story, though, takes place AFTER the scene of the manager, the angelic pronouncement to the shepherds, the heavenly choir, and the excitement of the lowly shepherds. What do we do the ‘day after Christmas’? How should we approach Jesus after all the decorations are put away, the socia...

The Greatest Gift ever given to humanity is Jesus Christ. His birth, death, and resurrection brought hope, love, and redemption to the world. Jesus, the Son of God, came to teach us how to love unconditionally, forgive endlessly, and live with compassion. His message of peace, grace, and forgiveness continues to inspire and transform lives.

“I doubt God hears me.” This is a statement that many believers utter because many of our prayers seemingly go unanswered. This morning we continue talking about doubt by examining 2 pretty obscure characters of the Christmas story found in Luke 2. They had been praying for a long time without an answer. What do we do when it seems as if our prayers go unanswered? That is the subject of this morni...

This morning we examine how some of Jesus' followers & disciples ‘doubted’ Him after the resurrection in Matthew 28:17. What did this mean & what kind of ‘doubt’ were they exhibiting? When we uncover the meaning behind this very specific Greek word, we will find the reality that many coming to churches every Sunday exhibit this same type of ‘doubt’. Let’s go all in for Jesus.

Join us this week as Pastor Jonathan dives into the boldness that God brought to the New Testament Church.

This morning we continue to talk about doubt. Last week we talked about doubting the Word of God. This week we will look at the Old Testament characters Sarah & Abraham and see how they doubted God’s promise. We often find ourselves giving the same type of response as these Biblical characters when we read or hear the Promises of God. How should we stand on God’s promises, even when there could be...

This morning we start a mini-series that we are calling: “But…What About My Doubts?’. We are going to take a few weeks and examine a few characters of the Bible who were faced with doubt and see how they responded & reacted. Is spiritual doubt normal for the believer? What are we to do about spiritual doubt? Is there any good that can come from spiritual doubt? ← this is what we want to discuss as...

The world we live in is steeped in what Pastor Greg likes to call, “the ME culture”. What is that all about & does the Bible speak about how we should live in the “ME culture”. That is what Pastor Greg talks about in a sort of ‘addendum’ message to our last series, “Decision Time: Be The Difference’ by talking about one MAJOR way in which we can be more like Christ & different than the world (espe...
