We all may be surprised by Jesus' future return, but are ready?

Anand Darla :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, January 9, 2022

God’s name represents His nature and His character. Focusing on the experiences of the prophet Isaiah and the apostle John in scripture, Anand Darla explores the names God revealed for Himself as well as the attributes these names point to, in particular the holiness of God. Considering the martyrdom of Isaiah and John for the Lord, Anand challenges believers to answer the call to share soul-saving faith with a world estranged from a holy God. Anand’s message follows several announcements from Mike Nicewarner.

Doug Elrick :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, January 2, 2022

Pontius Pilate asked Jesus, "What is truth?", not realized he was standing in the presence of Truth. Doug Elrick draws from this passage in John 18 and the confusion over truth that persists in our postmodern, relativistic culture to reveal the absolute and objective nature of truth, as well as its personification in Jesus Christ. In considering the implications for the Church, Doug offers that the lies of postmodernism are best countered with the absolute truth of God's word, the full armor of God, and the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Unity is important for the longevity of a nation but even more so in the church family. In Pastor Steve’s message from Philippians 2:1-11, the apostle Paul shares the secret to unity in the local church—unity that is predicated on humility—found in the cradle of Bethlehem, the cross of Calvary, and the crown of our risen King. Steve’s message focuses on two tactics to motivate the body of Christ to live and serve together in unity by individually exercising humility perfectly modeled in Jesus.

Christmas isn’t about us, but Christmas is for us. Pastor Steve’s Christmas Eve message from Galatians 4:1-7 considers the particulars and the redemptive purpose of Christ’s incarnation in order to, in the midst of all the world makes Christmas to be about, direct our attention back to Jesus.

Steve Smith :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, December 19, 2021

The prophetic prediction of the coming Messiah provided hope. His presence on earth offered help. His punishment at His crucifixion brought healing. The preeminence of our King returning again should produce humility and worship.

“The King is Coming,” Pastor Steve’s Christmas message traces these 4 aspects of the Messiah’s coming through the entire Bible story to help us to understand and respond appropriately to Christ’s birth.

“The King is Coming” Christmas program follows Steve’s message as a Genesis-through-Revelation, all-age presentation and celebration—through scripture readings, song and dance—of our Savior and King.

“You stepped down from heaven, humbly You came, God of all creation, here with us.”

During Jesus’ Olivet Discourse, He answers His disciples’ question about the timing and signs of “the end of the age”—and for many, the future isn’t very bright. In a message more focused more on Jesus’ second advent than His first, Pastor Steve preaches from Matthew 24:15-28, where the Lord reveals 2 more pieces of the puzzle of the End Times. These serve to inform His followers about the horrors preceding His 2nd coming, instruct them how to endure that difficult time, inspire Christians to bear witness of the Gospel, and invite unbelievers to trust in Christ to escape the coming calamity. Steve’s message follows several announcements.
