Welcome to Creekside Community Church’s livestream! Today’s message, The Hammer: Forged in Fire #2, focuses on how the Holy Spirit works in our lives, shaping us with every decision we make. Drawing from Jeremiah 18:1-12 and Romans 8:1-13, we’ll explore how God gives us the choice to either submit to His transformative work or resist and regress. Every moment of conviction from the Holy Spirit sparks a choice—will you allow yourself to be shaped, or will you resist? Join us as we dive into the importance of responding quickly and obediently to the Spirit’s leading and find encouragement in God’s relentless commitment to our growth, even when we stumble.

Welcome to Creekside Community Church’s livestream! In today’s message, Forged in Fire: The Forge, we explore the challenging question, What are we supposed to do with suffering? Using the Apostle Paul’s experience (2 Corinthians 1:9-11) as a guide, we’ll see how suffering can drive us to rely on God in ways that transform us like nothing else can. Suffering isn’t a sign of God’s absence but an invitation to experience His presence in a deeper way (Philippians 3:7-11). This message encourages us to see suffering as an opportunity for growth, as we avoid distractions and lean into Jesus. Join us as we worship together and dig into God’s Word! Don’t miss the opportunity to learn how God can shape us through trials and suffering, just as a blacksmith shapes metal in the forge.

Welcome to Creekside Community Church's online service! Guiding Question: What does it mean to be a faithful witness to Jesus during a time when influence and favor seem to be fading? Join us as we explore the third week of our "Sojourners" series, titled Behind Enemy Lines. In this message, we will unpack what it looks like to stand firm in our faith and be a witness to Jesus, even when the world around us is increasingly hostile. Message Highlights: Good Deeds (1 Peter 2:11-12): Discover why doing good is both an internal battle and a powerful external testimony. Our motives matter—let’s seek to do good not to earn our place in God’s kingdom, but because we already belong to it. Remarkable Hope (1 Peter 3:13-17): Learn how to trust in the Lord during persecution. This hope in God's vindication and His coming Kingdom is what sustains us through life’s trials. An Undeserved Bad Reputation (1 Peter 2:12; 3:16): Understand that we may be misunderstood and slandered for the right reasons. It’s not about defending our reputation, but about remaining faithful and good. Application: Seek opportunities to do good in every area of your life. Equip yourself with our growing library of resources to answer questions about your faith. Reflect on your reputation—if it’s negative, is it for the right reasons? Don't miss this powerful message that encourages us to remain faithful witnesses to Jesus, even in challenging times.
