Those who “put on Jesus” (Romans 13:14) owe it to love people and ought to live properly. In Pastor Steve's message from Romans 13:8-14, Paul introduces these two responsibilities of those being transformed by God’s mercy necessary for progress in spiritual maturity. Steve’s message follows an introduction to our upcoming Wednesday night summer series: Letter to the American Church.

The apostle Paul shifts from how a relationship with Christ impacts our relationship with others in Romans 12 to our relationship to the government in Romans 13. How should Christians think about submitting to the civil authorities God has put over us? What do we do when the government celebrates evil instead of punishing it? In Pastor Steve’s message from 13:1-7, Paul provides instruction to believers in our requirement, our reasons, and our response when it comes to obedience to the law of the land. Steve's message follows announcements from Alan Crim.

In Pastor Steve’s 2nd message from Romans 12 and what it means to be “living sacrifices,” we discover in verses 9-21 several traits of those who are being “transformed by the renewing of [the] mind.” These commands focus on a believer’s relationship with those in the church and with those who are our enemies.

In Romans 12, we discover 3 sets of commands that instruct us how we are to offer ourselves "as living sacrifices" in worship in light of God's mercy. In this message covering 12:1-8, Pastor Steve discusses the first 2 sets—our exhortation to live sacrificially and our exercise of spiritual gifts in the church.

Mark Kline :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, May 19, 2024

Is the nation of Israel still God’s chosen people? Are there promises about Israel yet to be fulfilled? Mark Kline preaches from Romans 11:25-36, walking us through the revelation of a mystery regarding the Jews and God’s mercy for Israel and beyond. We discover that God’s plan to choose, harden, and restore Israel is all a means to bring God the glory—Soli Deo gloria!

Anand Darla :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, May 12, 2024

"Remember that you [the branch] do not support the root, but the root supports you.” (Romans‬ ‭11‬:‭18‬). Anand Darla preaches from Romans 11:11-24 on God’s redemptive plan for the remnant of Israel. God crafted a plan to save the Jews, drafted Paul to preach to the Jews and Gentiles, and grafted the Gentiles into the root of salvation. Anand’s message follows a video about Agape Resource Center and Creekside’s supply drive for this ministry, as well as other announcements.

After receiving Paul’s rebuke for their unbelief, the Jews of his day may have thought they had fallen out of favor with God and His promises regarding Israel. In defense of God’s faithfulness, Paul reassures them with two actions God takes in Romans 11:1-10 to reassure them that God has not rejected His chosen people. Pastor Steve’s message follows announcements, including an announcement by Anne Marie Runnels about a supply drive for Agape—a local pregnancy resource center—and recognition of Creekside’s high school and college graduates.

"The message concerning faith that we proclaim: If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved... for, ‘Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’” (Romans 10:8b,9,13). Pastor Steve’s message from Romans 10:1-13 gives us the reasons for Israel’s rejection of righteousness by faith that teach us 2 important lessons pointing to salvation for all who call upon the name of the Lord: The mistake of righteousness by works instead of faith, and the message of righteousness by faith taught in scripture. Steve’s message follows announcements by Alan Crim.

In Romans 9:19-33, Paul explains God's prerogative in choosing individuals for salvation, and we feel the tension between divine sovereignty and human responsibility, and an emphasis of faith over works in God's redemptive plan. As a continuation of his previous sermon, Pastor Steve provides two more reasons why Israel’s unbelief didn’t mean that God’s word had failed, God’s character is flawed, or that God’s people are forsaken. Steve’s message follows announcements and a recognition of 3 new Creekside members.
