As the Apostle Paul continues to testify about the kingdom of God there are some who believe his message and others who disbelieve. Quoting from the prophet Isaiah, Paul shows us that there is a rhythm to receiving the word of the kingdom of God. We need to see, hear, understand, be transformed, and then brought to wholeness. What is keeping you from seeing, hearing, understanding, transformation, and healing? We pray you’re inspired by this message and equipped to make disciples as we continue ...

When Paul enters the city of Athens the scriptures say “His spirit was provoked because he saw that the city had many idols.” Our culture today isn’t any different. Our communities are looking for what will bring them purpose, pleasure, and prosperity, but their pursuit will leave them empty and unsatisfied until it’s found in Jesus. Our prayer is that like Paul we would be moved to share the gospel in the marketplace and to the ends of the earth.

Your identity is what defines you, your sense of worth, and what drives the decisions you make. As we continue our series in the book of Acts we find three people who have very different identities and what happens when they receive the gospel message. We pray this message inspires and equips you to go and make disciples.

In Acts chapter 12 we find the Apostle Peter imprisoned and the church eagerly praying for his release, but when God answered and delivered Peter the gathered church didn’t believe it. How might our devotion to prayer change if we came with faith and fully expected God to answer our requests? I believe we would change the world and see the kingdom of God come on earth as it is in heaven. We pray this message inspires you to take a step in your faith and equips you to make disciples.

The Church has been given a simple gospel so everyone can share the message! This good news is for everyone, but if you take a look at who sits at your table, your circle of influence, does it reflect Gods heart of every tribe and nation coming to know Him? Or do we only share the good news with people who look, act, and think like us? Today we continue in week 9 of our Acts of the Apostles series. We pray you’re inspired and equipped to go and make disciples.

Sometimes our past makes it hard for us to believe that we could ever be right with God. You might even believe that God has given up on you or that you’re too far gone. As we continue our series walking through the book of Acts, we pray you’re inspired as we see in this epic chapter that no one is too far gone for our God to redeem.

As the Church is scattered among different regions we find Philip in the city of Samaria. He continues to perform great signs and wonders, as well as preach the gospel message and many men and women are added to the Church. Simon the magician is one of those men that decides to follow Jesus but we soon find out that his motives aren’t pure. Do you desire to see a move of God in your life and community? What are the motives that are driving that desire? As we continue in week 6 of our Acts of the...

In Acts 4 we find the Apostles continuing to testify about the resurrection of Jesus and the church continuing to grow. People in the church are selling their possessions to provide for the needs of the community and the Holy Spirit is bringing about supernatural unity among all the followers of Jesus. Then the story takes an unexpected turn in chapter 5 when we’re introduced to Ananias and Sapphira… We pray you’re inspired and challenged to take a next step in your faith as we continue in week ...

After Pentecost the movement of Christianity began to spread like wild fire. All of a sudden ordinary, uneducated men are speaking with authority and performing miracles. They’re getting threats from the religious leaders and facing persecution if they continue to speak about Jesus. What made them so bold, and what is it that gives us authority today? Is it our race, gender, education, etc…? We pray you’ll be inspired and equipped as we continue in week 2 of our series on The Acts of the Apostle...

After the ascension of Christ the apostles are told to wait for the promised Holy Spirit. At Pentecost the Holy Spirit does come just as Jesus promised and empowers the apostles and early church to expand the Jesus movement. Timid followers are all of a sudden filled with boldness as they begin to preach the gospel, and many receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior. In this new series we will be looking at the acts of the apostles and how God moved through the early church.

This is Creekside's 1 Year Anniversary! We are so thankful for all that God has done in such a short period of time and we truly believe the best is yet to come! This week we close out our Let's Go series as we look at the story of Peter leaving his job as a fisherman to follow Jesus, and the blessings that come through obedience. We pray you'll be inspired as you listen to this message.

One of our core values at Creekside Church is generosity. We believe that when we are generous we become more like Jesus, and we're able to do more to radically love our community. We pray you're inspired and challenged to take a next step in your faith as you listen to week 5 of our Let's Go series.

At Creekside Church we want to lay a foundation through the scriptures of what it looks like to follow Jesus. We believe that with following Jesus comes great gain, but there's also a cost to consider. Jesus didn't shy away from tough topics and He was very upfront with people about the reality of sacrifice and suffering. We pray that you'll be inspired, and challenged to take a next step in your faith as you listen to week 5 of our Let's Go series.

The goal throughout this series was to share our vision, mission and strategy while also weaving in our values. Our values are the core motivators that drive what we do! This week we're going to look at our value of obedience. What does biblical obedience look like, and what would it look like if every person took that step to walk in obedience everyday? We pray you're inspired as we continue in week 4 of our Let's Go series!

Our mission at Creekside Church is to radically love and simply equip disciple makers. In order to accomplish we need to be healthy, and at Creekside when we talk about health we mean it from a wholistic point of view (spiritual, physical, emotional, mental, and relational). Jesus told us to love our neighbors as ourselves, but if we don't love ourselves then what does love for our neighbor actually look like? We pray you're inspired by this week's message as we continue in week 3 of our Let's G...

A.W. Tozer once said "What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us." So what is it that comes to your mind? At Creekside we believe that understanding the gospel, (who Jesus is and what He has done for us) should lead us to be in awe and wonder of Him. This is where worship begins and it has major effects on how we live and the decisions we make. We pray this message inspires you as we continue our Let's Go series.

“Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed.” (1 Corinthians 12:1, ESV) Spiritual gifts. What is their purpose, and are all of the gifts still available to the church today? There are many different views on this topic so we hope to walk through this with humility, and point to where we stand as Creekside Church.

God is working behind the scenes in the midst of all the chaos and is preparing a great harvest. Jesus see's the outcast, the hurting and the lost and has compassion on them. He tells us to pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers to reap the harvest. How will we respond? Will we pray? Will we go and be an answer to that prayer?

Today marks week 16, and the grand finale of our Jesus series! We’ve chronologically walked through Jesus' life pointing to the significance of who he is, why he came, and who he came for! We walked through His life, death, resurrection, and ascension, but what happened after Jesus left? Was the movement over or was it just beginning?

Over the past 15 weeks we’ve taken a journey together through the life of Jesus. Who is Jesus? Why did He come? What did He teach about? When it comes to the world almost everyone knows about Christmas and Easter but few (including christians) know anything about the significance of the ascension. Why is it important and how does it affect us? Join us as we unpack the power, purpose, and plan of the Jesus' ascension.

At Creekside Church we highly value both prayer and worship. They are two of our core values. We believe that we were created to worship and to quote Martin Luther "To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing." Psalm 100:4 tells us to "Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!" So we invite you to enter into the presence of the Lord with us as we pray and worship together....
