Should Christians get political? How does belief impact behavior in the realm of politics? Does it even matter if we are electing presidents and not pastors? In Pastor Steve’s final sermon in this series, Scripture reveals at least three steps believers should take in our participation in politics—pursuing the welfare of our city and country, participating in civic activity, and prioritizing the Gospel—because in the end we don’t seek cultural revolution, but redemption and transformation of people. Steve’s message follows brief announcements and an introduction to Operation Christmas Child by Patti Fellers.

If your faith is genuine, your faith will guide your politics.

Steve Smith preaches from Romans 13 and other scriptures to bring to light four key elements in what the Bible has to say about our earthly authorities. These truths from God’s word regarding government—God’s role in it, our responsibility to it, the limitations of it, and the influence of it—should impact how we think and whom we serve in our present world.

Steve's message follows an announcement by Debbie Short about a new women's study based on her new book, and a prayer send-off for three of our members to Haiti next week.

Contrast is good, and God made us with differences—beautiful ones. Bob Short preaches from the book of Ephesians a message of unity in the face of diversity for the church, our families, and the nation. There is no unity without the Trinity, and Bob draws a Godly path to unity that involves God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in the plan, purchase, and the power of God. Bob's message follows an introduction by Kari McLaren of new ministry teams recently formed to meet the needs of women and families at Creekside.

Fame, credibility, and authority are often established by a series of events. In Matthew 9:18-34, Pastor Steve presents four powerful demonstrations of Jesus’ authority—His power over death, disease, disability and demons—that further confirm his identity, call us to His family, comfort us on our journey, and compel us to sincerity in our faith. Steve’s message follows several announcements.

How do we decide who’s all in for Jesus? In Pastor Steve’s message on Matthew 9:9-17, Jesus’ interactions with others reveals 3 hallmarks of a disciple. We demonstrate that we are “all in” through our commitment to rely on Christ, our compassion for the rebellious, and our concern for being righteous. Steve’s message follows a brief announcement about our upcoming outdoor service.

Kyle Clarkson :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, August 16, 2020

Kyle Clarkson preaches about a “through the roof” encounter with Jesus from Matthew 9:1-8. In this account of Jesus healing a paralyzed man, Kyle examines what we can learn from the ones who literally brought their friend to Jesus, from the spiritual need that outweighs the physical, and from the forgiving heart of our Savior. Pastor Steve follows by introducing communion with an application for believers in remembering what Jesus did to pay our debt.
