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
