Creekside Community Church Sermons

The King that Israel was waiting for was prophesied of many times, and in this passage we see one who will come and be an advisor with unfathomable wisdom and discernment, who will guide his nation out of darkness and into the light.

Join with us in this Advent season as we look into Isaiah 9:6 and all the history that comes with it so that we can more fully anticipate the miraculous birth of Jesus.

As is our annual tradition, we open up the Word to hear from God on the topic of generosity in our lives as believers. Take heart, for though all of us have no hope by ourselves to be saved, Jesus does that work for us, also calling us in this passage to follow in his footsteps of life-giving generosity.

Have you ever felt hopelessness from being trapped? As God brings the rescue of his people out of Egypt to completion, we see how great and terrible his deliverance is, and what hope that gives us as we have been saved into the family of God.

How are we formed today? As we look at God's instruction to his people regarding the Passover and their firstborns, we are reminded that his salvation is open to all, and that we ought to be seeking after him in ways that shape us to live like Jesus and to be reminded that only through him are we cleansed of sin and rescued from slavery.

Have you ever thought that God had stopped watching over your path? Take heart and be encouraged as we hear how the LORD rescued and provided for his people in amazing ways, and how for us He has provided the true Passover Lamb of Jesus for the forgiveness of sins.

Hear the Word taught from Exodus 12:1-28 about the interweaving love and judgement of God that is on display for the Passover.

What counterfeit gods are we tempted to worship instead of the LORD? By systematically proving the Egyptian gods to be fraudulent and powerless, the God of the Hebrews, our God, shows us that we too must never trust in the fleeting idols of the age, but trust in Him alone who can save us.

God sets the stage for the showdown that is coming. To a people with almost no faith left to give, God promises deliverance, redemption, and hope.

You know the phrase 'don't shoot the messenger'? As Moses is tasked to bring God's message to the Hebrew people, we see how he had to wrestle with and trust the sovereignty of God even as he was blamed when the circumstances got worse before they got better.

This week we step away from our Exodus series to ask how God has been faithful to us as a church family and to be joyful about the transition coming for our lead pastor position.
