  • Party Savior (Faith for Foodies 6)
    Jul 2 2025

    What do you do when the wine runs out—and you’re about to be humiliated? At a first-century wedding, running out of wine wasn’t just inconvenient—it was a social disaster. But into that crisis, Jesus quietly steps in, works a miracle, and saves the day.In this message, we explore Jesus’s first sign in the Gospel of John—not just a party trick, but a powerful glimpse of who He is and how He works. The God of the universe cares about ordinary people and everyday moments. His kingdom is massive, but it includes your mundane. When you obey—even in the small things—He brings transformation.📖 Scripture: John 2:1–11💡 Series: Faith for FoodiesFor more information about our church community, or to partner with us, go to www.creekside.cc.

  • Cooking with Poo (Faith for Foodies 5)
    Jun 23 2025

    What do you do when someone refuses to change, no matter how many times they've been warned? In Ezekiel 4, God calls the prophet Ezekiel to act out His message through a series of strange and unsettling sign-acts—including cooking food over human waste. These symbolic actions were meant to confront the people of Judah with the reality of the coming siege of Jerusalem, and to show that God’s judgment wasn’t sudden or random—it was the result of generations of ignored warnings and persistent rebellion. But even in judgment, God's heart is on display: He’s patient, not passive, and His warnings are invitations to return before it’s too late.In this message, we’ll explore what these ancient symbols mean for us today, why God’s justice is part of His goodness, and how true repentance leads to restoration. We’ll also see how Ezekiel points us to Jesus, the greater prophet who didn’t just symbolize our judgment—He took it upon Himself. If you’ve ever wondered how God responds to stubborn hearts or what role repentance plays in the life of a believer, this message is for you. Join us as we worship, reflect, and respond to the grace of a God who still speaks through warnings—and still saves through love.For more information about our church community, or to partner with us, go to www.creekside.cc.

  • Divine BBQ (Faith for Foodies 3)
    Jun 9 2025

    What do ancient animal sacrifices have to do with following Jesus today?In this message from our “Faith for Foodies” series, we dig into the Old Testament barbecue—specifically, the sacrificial system described in Leviticus and throughout the Old Testament. At first glance, it might look primitive, irrelevant, or even disturbing. But when you take a closer look, the smells of the altar are full of meaning, pointing forward to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.We explore how these offerings—especially the burnt offering (Leviticus 1), the fellowship offering (Leviticus 3), and the Day of Atonement rituals (Leviticus 16)—were never about feeding God or earning favor through performance. They were shadows of a better sacrifice to come. As Hebrews 10:1–14 reminds us, the law was only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves.Jesus fulfilled the entire sacrificial system by offering Himself once for all (Hebrews 10:10). His death wasn’t just a transaction—it was an invitation. You don’t have to earn your way into God’s presence anymore. The work is finished. The way is open. The table is set. You’re invited.If you’ve ever wondered why the Old Testament talks so much about sacrifice—or if you’ve felt like you need to “do more” to be right with God—this message will lead you to freedom, grace, and a renewed joy in the finished work of Christ.Main Scriptures:Leviticus 1, 3, 16Hebrews 10:1–14Watch now and rediscover how Jesus is the better sacrifice—and why His invitation is better than anything we could earn on our own.For more information about our church community, or to partner with us, go to www.creekside.cc.

  • No Leftovers Allowed (Faith for Foodies 2)
    Jun 2 2025

    Have you ever felt like God was giving you just enough to scrape by—but never quite enough to breathe easy? In this message from our Faith for Foodies series, Pastor Luke walks through the story of manna in the wilderness (Exodus 16) to explore how “just enough” can actually be a sign of God’s faithful presence, not His absence.From daily bread to daily trust, this week’s teaching connects the Old Testament rhythm of dependence with Jesus’s invitation to pray, “Give us this day our daily bread” (Matthew 6:11). Along the way, we’ll uncover how the bread from heaven was never just about food—it was always about forming hearts that trust.📖 Key Texts:Exodus 16:1–20Deuteronomy 8:3Matthew 6:11John 6:48–51Worship, Communion, and a practical invitation to pray with faith in God’s enough-ness—join us as we discover that just enough is the perfect portion when God is teaching you to trust Him one day at a time.For more information about our church community, or to partner with us, go to www.creekside.cc.

  • Hopefully Ever After (The Secrets of a Joy-Filled Life #4
    May 19 2025

    Is it naïve to live with high hopes? Or is it the key to lasting joy?In a world that tells us to lower our expectations to avoid disappointment, Jesus invites us to do the opposite. He calls us to a hope so strong, so certain, that it actually reaches into the future and pulls joy back into the present.This Sunday at Creekside, we’ll explore how biblical hope isn’t about wishful thinking or escapism—it’s about living with confidence that the best is yet to come.We’ll see from Isaiah 65, Romans 8, and Revelation 21 that our ultimate hope isn’t floating in the clouds—it’s life on a renewed earth, in restored bodies, with Jesus forever. And that kind of hope changes everything.What if you didn’t have to frantically chase experiences before you die?What if joy now came not from checking off a bucket list—but from trusting the One who’s promised you eternity?Whether you're burdened, burned out, or just longing for something more, this message will point you to a hope big enough to carry you through.For more information about our church community, or to partner with us financially, go to www.creekside.cc
