We’re all being shaped every day—by what we watch, read, scroll, and listen to. The real question isn’t if we’re being formed, but by what. In this message, we explore how Scripture functions as God’s primary tool for shaping and reshaping our lives over time. Drawing from 2 Timothy 3:14–17, we’re reminded that the Bible isn’t something we outgrow or graduate from, but a lifelong source of training for our minds, hearts, and actions. This message invites us to move from being formed by default to being formed on purpose, and to begin (or renew) a simple, sustainable habit of engaging Scripture regularly—not perfectly, but faithfully. Whether you’re consistent, inconsistent, or just starting again, this message offers clarity, hope, and a practical next step.Access the Scripture reading plan here: https://www.creekside.cc/daily-in-the-word-reading-planFor more info about our church community, or to connect with us, go to www.creekside.cc

God never designed the Christian life to be lived alone. In this service, we explore the relational heart of God’s Kingdom and why following Jesus has always been a shared journey, not a solo one. Through Scripture, practical insight, and honest reflection, we’ll see how God uses relationships—being known, bearing burdens, and growing together—to form us into mature disciples of Jesus.Whether you feel deeply connected or quietly distant, this message invites you to consider your next step toward meaningful community. We’ll also share how Connection Groups at Creekside create space for real relationships, spiritual growth, and shared life beyond Sunday mornings.Join us as we lean into God’s design for the church: growing together, becoming more like Jesus, and learning to love one another the way He first loved us.For more info about our church community, or to connect with us, go to www.creekside.cc

This Advent, we’re looking at how God works through the quiet, courageous faithfulness of ordinary people. In Ruth 3, we step onto the threshing floor and watch a risky act of integrity open the door for redemption—not through dramatic miracles, but through selfless care, wise restraint, and sacrificial love.Together we’ll explore how God often answers desperate prayers through everyday obedience, and how this ancient story points us toward the hope fulfilled in the birth of Christ. Join us as we seek to hear God’s voice, respond to His leading, and prepare our hearts for the coming King.For more info about our church community, or to connect with us, go to www.creekside.cc

In a world where many of us feel stuck waiting for God to act, Ruth 2 shows us what it looks like to take faithful steps even when the path ahead is unclear. In this message, we explore how Ruth moves into the ordinary with courage, how Boaz moves toward others with compassion, and how both reveal a God who weaves His providence through everyday obedience.We’ll consider the question: If God opened a door today, would He find you ready—or still sitting? Through Scripture, worship, and reflection, this advent service invites you to see how God’s quiet work often meets us when we move our feet and offer our hands. Join us as we discover what it means to participate in the purposes of God right where we are.For more info about our church community, or to connect with us, go to www.creekside.cc

Life doesn’t always feel fair—and sometimes it feels like God is the one to blame.In Ruth chapter 1, we meet Naomi in the middle of heartbreaking loss, convinced that God has turned against her. But behind the bitterness, God is quietly arranging the first threads of redemption through an unexpected friend and a seemingly ordinary harvest.In this message, we explore how grief can distort our view of God, how honest lament still belongs in a life of faith, and how God often works through the quiet, overlooked moments we take for granted.If you’ve ever wondered where God is when life falls apart, this message will help you see Him in places you might have missed.Join us as we begin our Advent journey through the book of Ruth—discovering hope in the ordinary, grace in the grief, and the God who never stops working behind the scenes.For more info about our church community, or to connect with us, go to www.creekside.cc

When life gives you tough choices, it’s easy to feel stuck, overwhelmed, or alone. The truth is, we all have blind spots—places we can’t see clearly without the help of wise, godly people around us. This week, we’ll explore what Scripture teaches about seeking counsel, widening our options, and counting the real cost before we choose.Join us as we look at the wisdom of Proverbs, the pitfalls of Rehoboam, the clarity Jesus gives in Luke 14, and the life-saving insight Abigail once offered David. You’ll walk away with practical tools, Spirit-led perspective, and a community ready to walk the road with you.Wherever you’re watching from, we want you to know: you don’t have to make hard decisions alone. Let’s pursue wisdom together.For more info about our church community, or to connect with us, go to www.creekside.cc

Every decision points your life in a direction—and not every road that looks good leads somewhere good. This Sunday, Pastor Luke explores how the Bible teaches us to look beyond what feels right in the moment and consider where our choices are taking us.From Esau’s impulsive trade to Moses’s final warning to Jesus’s clarity of mission, we’ll see how wise decisions come from knowing our destination before we choose our direction.The Big Idea: The better you know your destination, the easier it is to choose the right direction.Take time this week to pray and reflect: Who is God calling me to become? Because when you know who you’re becoming, it’s easier to see which path leads there.Join us for worship, community, and biblical teaching that will help you live with wisdom, not regret.For more info about our church community, or to connect with us, go to www.creekside.cc

We all want to believe that faithfulness leads to success—but what happens when obedience brings rejection instead? In the final message of our Tale of Two Temples series, we look at Stephen’s powerful defense in Acts 7, where he reminds us that God’s plans don’t fail just because His people are opposed. From Joseph to Moses to Jesus, the story has always been the same: rejection can’t stop redemption, and God’s presence isn’t confined to any place—it’s alive in His people.Join us as we explore what it means to worship a God who is unconfined, unstoppable, and present in every circumstance.For more info about our church community, or to connect with us, go to www.creekside.cc

In this week’s message from Acts 6, Pastor Luke explores how the early church navigated growing pains—and what it teaches us about the connection between structure and the Spirit. When complaints arose and needs were overlooked, the apostles didn’t cling to control; they empowered others. The result? More people cared for, more people serving, and more people coming to faith.Discover how the right structure doesn’t restrict the Spirit’s work—it releases it. Join us for worship, teaching, and reflection on how God grows His church through Spirit-led organization and humble teamwork.For more info about our church community, or to connect with us, go to www.creekside.cc

When the apostles were thrown in prison for preaching about Jesus, an angel set them free—and told them to go right back and keep preaching. Even under threat of death, they obeyed God rather than men, proving that His mission cannot be stopped. Gamaliel’s warning rings true two thousand years later: what is from God will not fail.In this message, Pastor Luke Heirendt unpacks Acts 5:17–42 and the story of an unstoppable gospel that advances through obedient, Spirit-filled people. Discover why joy in suffering isn’t foolish—it’s the mark of those who know Jesus is worth it.Watch this message to: - See why God’s call sometimes leads us into danger, not away from it - Learn what Gamaliel’s wisdom still teaches us about God’s sovereignty - Find courage to keep speaking when silence would be easier - Be reminded that you can’t participate in God’s movement by standing stillSubscribe for weekly messages from Creekside Community Church and join us in helping people take their next step with Jesus.For more info about our church community, or to connect with us, go to www.creekside.cc

When the early church was filled with the Spirit, generosity overflowed and God’s presence was unmistakable. But then came a shocking moment—two believers who lied about their offering and fell dead on the spot. What are we supposed to do with a story like that? In this week’s message, we’ll explore how God’s holiness and love meet in the life of His people—and why the Spirit of truth won’t dwell where pretense lives. Join us as we continue A Tale of Two Temples and rediscover the fear and beauty of God’s holy presence.For more info about our church community, or to connect with us, go to www.creekside.cc

Where does boldness come from—and why do some believers find it while others don’t? In Acts 3:1–4:32, Peter and John demonstrate Spirit-empowered courage: healing in Jesus’ name, speaking truth before hostile leaders, and praying for even greater boldness when opposition comes. The same Holy Spirit who filled the first believers still makes ordinary people extraordinarily bold today. Join us as we explore how God’s presence turns fear into faith and hesitation into holy courage.For more info about our church community, or to connect with us, go to www.creekside.cc

Why did God choose such a strange way to launch his church—with wind, fire, and languages no one expected? In Acts 2, we see that Pentecost was not random but deeply intentional: reversing Babel, fulfilling Sinai, and beginning the great harvest of God’s people. Peter’s message makes it clear—the Spirit’s arrival proves Jesus is risen, exalted, and reigning as Lord and Messiah, and the true evidence of the Spirit is devotion to Jesus. Join us as we explore the birth of the church and what it means for us to live as Spirit-filled, Jesus-devoted people today.For more info about our church community, or to connect with us, go to www.creekside.cc

Welcome to Creekside! We're so glad you're joining us for worship today.This morning, we’re kicking off a powerful new series in the book of Acts with a message titled “Power & Purpose.” In Acts 1, we see the early Church waiting—not rushing—because they knew they couldn’t fulfill the mission Jesus gave them without the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit. What does that mean for us today? How do we live with that same Spirit-filled courage, clarity, and purpose?🕊️ We'll explore:Why the Church's mission is impossible without the Holy SpiritHow fear affects our witness—and what God gives us insteadThe vital role of prayer in fueling the Church's boldness⛪ Whether you're joining us from home, on the go, or with your small group—you're part of what God is doing in and through His Church!🔔 Subscribe and turn on notifications so you never miss a livestream!📖 Scripture: Acts 1:1–11For more info about our church community, or to connect with us, go to www.creekside.cc

Join us for worship and a powerful message from 2 Timothy as we explore what it means to respond when the tides of time come in. Our guest speaker, Dr. Scott Wenig, invites us to consider the urgency of seizing opportunities to love, serve, and invest in others before winter comes and it's too late.We'll reflect on relationships, needs around us, and the temptation to procrastinate—and hear the hopeful reminder that even when others leave, Jesus stands by our side.For more info about our church community, or to connect with us, go to www.creekside.cc

Have you ever wondered if your life is really making a difference? Deep down, we all want our days to matter—but it’s easy to think impact only comes through big, flashy accomplishments.In this week’s message, Pastor Luke unpacks Jesus’ parable of the mustard seed and shares how God’s kingdom grows in surprisingly ordinary ways. We’ll see that the extraordinary impact we long for doesn’t come from grand gestures, but from everyday faithfulness—planting small seeds of obedience and trusting God to bring the growth.This is the final part of our three-week series Forty.For more info about our church community, or to connect with us, go to www.creekside.cc

Have you ever wondered, “Am I really doing what I was put here to do?” That question shows up in every season of life—from choosing a major, to navigating a career, to considering what to do in retirement.In this week’s message, Pastor Luke explores how the Bible teaches that our primary calling is to follow Jesus. Out of that relationship, God shapes our secondary callings—the jobs, places, and ministries where we live out our discipleship in everyday life. Together, we’ll look at how our passions, the world’s needs, our gifts, and the affirmation of community come together to help us discern where God is at work in us.This is part two of our three-week series Forty.For more info about our church community, or to connect with us, go to www.creekside.cc

What does turning 40 have to do with faith? In the Bible, the number 40 often marks a season of testing, preparation, or formation. As Pastor Luke steps into his 40th year of life and 20th year of ministry, he pauses to look back on God’s faithfulness and share three key lessons He has been teaching along the way:1. Orthodoxy is better than novelty – Faith must be rebuilt, not just deconstructed.2. People are more important than tasks – Ministry is about caring for people, not just getting things done.3. Love means releasing control – True love holds with open hands.This message is both testimony and encouragement. As you listen, consider: Which of these lessons might God be inviting you to lean into in your own life?Join us for worship, reflection, and celebration as we begin this three-week series.For more info about our church community, or to connect with us, go to www.creekside.cc

This Sunday we wrap up our "All In" series with Pastor Jake preaching on what it really means to follow Jesus. Faith is more than mental assent—it’s a change of allegiance, a loyalty to King Jesus and His kingdom. Don’t miss this powerful conclusion as we explore how true faith moves us beyond “belief” into wholehearted allegiance.Learn more about Creekside: https://www.creekside.ccJoin a Connection Group: https://www.creekside.cc/groups

We all want a life filled with meaning, but our culture teaches that fulfillment comes from what we can get. Jesus offers a radically different vision: true joy and purpose come when we give our lives away in service to others. In this message, we’ll look at what it means to follow the example of Jesus, who came “not to be served, but to serve” (Mark 10:45), and how using the gifts God has given us strengthens the church, advances His mission, and clarifies our own sense of calling.Whether you’re already serving or have never taken that step, you’ll discover why your gifts matter and how they fit into God’s plan for the world. From John 15 and Romans 12, we’ll see that serving isn’t just a duty—it’s a pathway to deeper joy, greater purpose, and real kingdom impact. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore your gifts, discern where God is leading you, and join the mission He’s called us to together.Learn more about Creekside: https://www.creekside.ccJoin a Connection Group: https://www.creekside.cc/groups
