Nick Reed :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, August 16, 2015

God doesn't need our help, but He uses our obedience. Nick Reed preaches from the story of Sarai and Hagar in Genesis 16. Fear, anxiety, mistrust of God's word, and a false view of HIs timing leads us to take things into our own hands, but God excels at using imperfect and freed followers to accomplish His work. Apologies for the poor audio quality!

Kyle Clarkson :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, August 9, 2015

Doubt is a place to visit, but not to live. Kyle Clarkson preaches from God's covenant with Abraham in Genesis 15, demonstrating that God deals with our doubt by showing up with a promise. From Abraham to Jesus Christ, in His unconditional grace, God "walks through the pieces" instead of us.

Nick Reed :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, August 2, 2015

Do you ever feel like you're learning the same lessons from the same habitual sins over and over again? Following an announcement by Mark Kline about Creekside U and Creekside's missions outlook involving Matt and Trista Deaver, Nick Reed speaks from the life of Abram in Genesis 14 on the interdependent role of obedience, faith and integrity in the process of sanctification. None of these stand alone, and neither do we, as our Priest and King Jesus is with us.

Chad Clarkson/Nick Reed :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, July 26, 2015

As a ministry spotlight, Kyle Clarkson's brother Chad Clarkson talks about growing up at Creekside, and the Lord's work through his involvement with Houston Church Planting Network in Houston, Texas. Following a short message about identifying with Jesus by Nick Reed, two new believers identify with Jesus in baptism.

Nick Reed :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, July 5, 2015

Failure to acknowledge God's authority becomes the root of all our sin, Nick Reed shows in this message from Genesis 11:1-9. As we read about the fallen angel Lucifer (Ezekiel 28 and Isaiah 14) and closer to home in the arrogance of the people at Babel in this passage, pride can turn our sense of self-worth away from the God who gave it to us and lead us to "make a name for ourselves." What drives God to end Babel's mutiny in our own hearts is both His justice and His love, and if we follow God we absolutely can't lose. Nick's message follows a brief announcement by Kyle Clarkson about changes to our deacon board.

Kyle Clarkson :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, June 28, 2015

The rainbow used to mean something very different than what it does today. In our ongoing series on Genesis, Kyle Clarkson preaches on God's sign of the covenant with Noah for all generations in chapter 9, a new covenant that came with a new creation after the Great Flood. This reboot brought a new relationship with nature and people, and in the rainbow we see both the wrath and love of God, who hangs up His war bow as His promise of grace and salvation. In the midst of our storms, #LoveWins because Jesus went to the cross to bring us that grace and salvation. Kyle's message follows a brief interview with Matt Deaver, missionary to South Asia.

Nick Reed :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, June 21, 2015

There are so many ways to finish, "If I follow God, then...", but they all mean we are more interested in what God can provide us that God Himself. Nick Reed challenges us to a perspective change, to pursue God expecting to see His glory (not our success) with faith based on who He is (not what He does). As He did for Noah during the Flood (Genesis 6:9-8:22), God remembers His promises to us in the midst of hardship, and the right response is always worship.

Nick Reed :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, June 14, 2015

Nick Reed takes an unanticipated break from our series on Genesis to talk about discontentment, that uncomfortable place where great things begin. In this message, we are challenged to stop just doing church and change the way we think about church in relation to our everyday lives (and the lives of others in our communities who need to see God's love and the Gospel lived out). Nick's message, based on Acts 2:42-47 and 4:32-37, follows a brief announcement about Creekside Live and a live concert by I Am They coming to Creekside July 18th.

Mark Kline :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, June 7, 2015

Sin brings pain to God and judgment to the world, a judgment that can only be escaped by God’s grace. Mark Kline begins with a short overview of what we've covered in our series on Genesis so far, and then presents a fascinating and truthful lesson on the time leading up to Noah's Flood from Genesis 6:1-8. In a corrupt society, though sinner like Noah, how can we walk faithfully with a patient and just God and be "preachers of righteousness" in our day? Mark also includes a brief but enlightening theological view on the roles of angels and demons in this curious passage.
