“You, God, are my God: I earnestly seek you...” From the desert of Judah, David pens this prayer to a God in whom he had confidence would satisfy his every need. Alan Crim preaches from Psalm 63 and invites us to thirst for, feast on, and cling to the presence and promises of God—–who is also holding onto us.

Singleness is not the absence of something but the acceptance of a place in life God has put you. Steve Smith closes our sermon series on discovering God’s design for marriage, gender and sexuality with a message to encourage those who are not married, something that the church doesn’t do often enough. Steve preaches from 1 Corinthians 7:25-40, where singles can find instruction on how to live a life pleasing to the Lord, but also find satisfaction living in singleness. Ultimately, regardless of our marital status, we’ll never be satisfied without an undistracted devotion to Jesus Christ.

Husbands and wives “win” when they honor and glorify God in their marriage. Living in a confused culture increasingly hostile toward traditional matrimony, Steve Smith seeks to clarify a wife’s Biblical, God-given responsibilities that enable her to secure victory in marriage, even when there isn’t harmony in the relationship. Steve preaches from Ephesians 5 and 1 Peter 3 about a woman’s identity in Christ and how to practically live out that identity. Steve’s message follows a few brief announcements.

"Husbands: love your wives..." God designed marriage, and through His word gave specific guidance to husbands and wives. Bob Short preaches from Ephesians 5:22-35, highlighting 5 qualities of a husband’s love: A love that leads, sacrifices, cleanses, nourishes and cherishes his wife.

Mark Kline :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, November 3, 2019

"...a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." Mark Kline continues our 'He Who Made Them' series with a message from Genesis 2:18-25 on the sometimes cherished and sometimes challenged institution of marriage. Mark explores the original, complimentary design for marriage as Adam and Eve received it from God, as well as the practical implications today from God's design and subsequent revelation from Scripture regarding marriage, singleness, divorce and remarriage.

The Christian faith rightly lived has always collided with popular culture. In the midst of our culture’s intense and intentional opposition to Biblical views of gender, sexuality and marriage, Steve Smith begins a 5 week series on recovering God’s design and our identity as human beings and as believers. Steve considers three important steps to take in responding to this moral revolution, not with hate, but with help and hope that only the gospel of Jesus Christ can deliver. Steve’s message follows several announcements by Alan Crim.

“Do you have good reason to be angry?” God asked Jonah as he childishly hoarded God’s compassion. Steve Smith concludes our series in the book of Jonah with a message from chapter 4, where we learn how God calls out our callousness while extending and defending His compassion. A ten minute update from one Creekside’s missionaries, Matt Deaver, is available separately upon request.

Kyle Clarkson :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, October 13, 2019

"...the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time: Go to the great city of Ninevah and proclaim to it the message I give you.'" (Jonah 3:1) Kyle Clarkson preaches from Jonah chapter 3, where a God of second chances again reinstates the rebellious prophet, sending Jonah to Ninevah with the same mission and message we are to proclaim—–turn to God and away from sin. Kyle's message follows an update from and prayerful send-off for Creekside's mission team bound for Haiti October 16-25.

Other than a large sea creature, the thing that was eating Jonah was God’s plan for compassion on the people of Ninevah. From Jonah’s experience and prayer in the belly of the fish (Jonah 1:17-2:10), Steve Smith presents five stages of Jonah’s new understanding of God’s compassion and mercy to appreciate and communicate to others.

Steve Smith :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, September 29, 2019

There are various reasons Christians rebel and resist God’s call to share the good news of Jesus to others. There are also various ways God deals with us to get us back on track. Steve Smith begins a 4 week series on the book of Jonah with a message from chapter 1 where, like Jonah, we see that rebellion and self-reliance are futile, submission is profitable, and being sidelined is merciful——even if it’s through a big fish.
