Silver Creek Church

As we begin our series looking at some of the unlikely heroes in the Bible, we begin with the story of Bezalel in the book of Exodus. God had instructed Moses in the construction of the Tabernacle but He also had a role for Bezalel! He wasn't who you would have guessed God would have called on - after all, he was a tradesperson! We are reminded that God puts us in a specific place for a speci...

As we conclude our July Sermon Series, we look at what Jesus tells us is the most important commandment found in Scripture - to love God with all your strength and to love others as yourself. While it sounds easy enough, there are times it can be difficult! However, Jesus gave us the perfect example for how we ought to live out His love in our lives!

Baptism plays an important role in our lives as Christ followers - it's a public declaration of what God has done and is doing within us! Today we look at what baptism is and isn't and are challenged by Scripture to consider not only what it means for us but how we can live out Jesus' commands!

Jesus commands us to do some very specific things throughout Scripture, but He shows us the example of Him living the way that He commands us to live. This morning we look at how Jesus served those around Him and how we are commanded to do the very same!

We're all forgetful, aren't we? There are times in life that we all deal with forgetting something important! This morning Pastor Mike Murray encourages to remember the importance and truth of communion. We see Jesus also tell us about our need to participate in communion as a way to remember and honor His sacrifice for us!

We all have a unique story of God at work in our lives, even when we can't see that story unfolding! Today, we're reminded that we do have a story, it's still being written and that we have a responsibility to share our story with others!

As we continue to look at the "Basics", Pastor Kevin reminds us that's easy to overlook those initial building blocks in our spiritual lives and instead look towards the bigger, more exciting elements of our walk with Jesus. We're reminded however, that before a baby can walk, it must first crawl. It's the same in our spiritual lives - we can't forget the basics of se...

As we celebrate dads today, we take time to look at the importance of the legacy that we each create and leave to our families. Creating a godly legacy doesn't happen on purpose and it isn't easy, but it's worth it! Pastor Kevin welcomes a few special guests to share about what it can look like to create a legacy!

This week Madison Ngafeeson challenged us to make a difference in our world, our families and in our community! We were reminded that until God introduced Jesus as a correcting force into our lost world, we were headed for destruction. Not only did Jesus provide salvation for us, but He also shows us that we too, can make a difference in the lives of those around us in His name!

This morning we begin our June series, "Basics" by going back to some of the foundational elements that should be applied to our lives as Christ followers! Pastor Kevin starts us off reminding us that we have a commission to "Stay Engaged" to the church body! There are times where it's easy to check out for a little bit while we travel or rest, but there are things we miss...

We know, perhaps better than most, that freedom isn't free. Our earthly freedom has been bought by the lives of the men and women who have sacrificed the ultimate price for us. Our spiritual and heavenly freedom was bought with with the blood of Jesus! This morning, as we honor the fallen, we look at several spriritual correlations and an incredible story of a man who sacrificed more than mos...

There are times that we feel honor is something that must be earned, but we read in Scripture several places that it is commanded of us. The commandment to honor our father and mother can be difficult for some of us, depending on the relationship we have with our parents. This morning, Pastor Kevin challenges us with several ways that you can be reminded of to "Honor Your Parents" even w...

This morning we welcome Aimee Tippen as our special Mother's Day guest speaker! Aimee is the Teaching Pastor at North Ridge Church in Marshfield, WI. Aimee shares her story of motherhood and specifically, mothering through brokenness. Our prayer is that you would experience Godly encouragement as her story is one that can challenge all who listen! We see through Aimee's life and others l...

This morning we begin our May sermon series "Honor Bound" with a message about honoring God. Pastor Kevin looks at a number of reason as to why we are called to show honor to God and why it has nothing to do with anything He's ever done but rather because of who He is! Our prayer is that we all would be challenged to look for even more ways to live out honor towards God in our lives...

As we conclude our April Series we look at the the final hours "Before His Departure." Before ascending into Heaven, Jesus spent time visiting His friends and disciples and took time to encourage them and tell them what to expect in the future! That future entailed instructions on His Great Commission to spread the gospel far and wide! His final promise to His followers was to return aga...

As we celebrate the miracle and freedom that comes with Easter, Pastor Kevin shares a message called "In the Tomb". It's important to realize that there was a great deal of verifiable facts about the death and resurrection of Jesus that even the Roman government couldn't refute! The most important fact is what the angel said to the women in Matthew 28:6 - "He is not here;...

As we approach Easter, we take time to look at the final moments of the Passion of Christ. Throughout those final days and hours, Jesus said some amazing things that truly expressed His love and devotion to each and every one of us! As we remember His sacrifice, we must remember how He carried Himself during such an indescribable experience.

As the month of April arrives, so does our April Sermon Series, "The Final Hours". Throughout the month, we will be looking at Jesus final days and moments here on earth before His death on the cross! There is much to be learned and taken from this period of Jesus' life and this morning, Pastor Mike Murray looks at Jesus' final moments "Among His Friends". We see how...

This morning as we wrap our our "Destined to Dream" we look at the story of King Jehoash in 2 Kings. This story shows us God's plan to use Jehoash to completely defeat the Arameans but that plan didn't come to completion due to some actions by the king. We look at how God is already at work, even before He calls us to do something, how we can't afford to take shortcuts and...

There are times where God will place a dream in our hearts with some specific, less than comfortable steps that must be taken along the way. This morning we look at Isaiah and how the dream he was given by God helped provide some necessary steps for the the Israelites to follow as they worked their way back to God. Sometimes we have to experience some testing times to put us in the right position...

Throughout Scripture we see that God uses dreams in various ways. Some dreams were used as warnings while others were a means of communicating to his Old Testament prophets. The same way some were to disclose a personal future destiny or as a way for God to answer requests or prayers like God did for Solomon. This morning we look at the dream that God gave to Peter and how specifically He directed...

While looking at God dreams given to people throughout scripture, it's hard to miss the dream that God had given to Abraham and Sarah to have a son. It's said that there were multiple times where they both laughed when they heard God's intention to give them a child and could you blame them? After all they were closer to death than they should have been to raising a child! Regardles...

Dreams can take different forms throughout our lives - some happen while we're sleeping, others are in fact the desires of our heart for our lives and the lives of others and finally dreams can be God given direction and vision! This month we will be looking at a number of dreams that God gave to people in Scripture and how those dreams came to pass! This morning we look at a number of dreams...

God has the desire to take us from where we are to where He has planned for us. However, there are times where we find ourselves in a place where we cannot fathom God still having the desire to use us. Part of God's plan for each of us is to be restored with Him and whatever situation, habit or place we find ourselves in at the moment is never too far to experience His forgiveness and accepta...

In Amos we see God use some interesting terminology as God spoke to Amos about some things He planned to do in relation to the Israelites. Ultimate, God used the term "plumb line" to illustrate the fact that we have been given something true in our lives to use as a tool to see how our lives line up to God's intention. Pastor Kevin looks at how Scripture is in fact how we can gauge...
