Welcome to Creekside Community Church. In today’s message, Where Love Draws the Line (2 Thessalonians 3:6–18), we’re exploring a question every church eventually faces: when do we help, and when do we hold the line?Paul addresses a painful but necessary topic: what to do when someone in the church family refuses responsibility and becomes disruptive? This passage shows us how love doesn’t ignore what harms the body, but also refuses to treat people like enemies. Instead, Paul calls the church to pursue peace, protect fellowship, and use loving boundaries for the purpose of restoration.If you’ve ever felt the tension between compassion and accountability, or wondered how a church can stay healthy without becoming harsh, this message will give you a biblical framework and a hopeful vision. Our prayer is that God would form us into a church family so meaningful, so loving, and so safe that belonging truly matters—and worth protecting.New here? We’d love to connect with you.

If you feel spiritually tired or shaky right now, what would God say to you in a “halftime speech”? In 2 Thessalonians 2:13–3:5, Paul reminds a stressed-out church to get back to the fundamentals: anchor your heart in the objective good news of what Jesus has done, hold tightly to what you’ve received in Scripture, and keep your hands busy with God’s work as the mission moves forward.This service includes worship, preaching, and the Lord’s Supper as we re-center on grace, stand firm, and ask God to direct our hearts into his love and Christ’s endurance.Thanks for joining Creekside Community Church online.

In a world full of spiritual noise, confusing voices, and end-times speculation, it’s easy to feel shaken or even panicked. In 2 Thessalonians 2:1–12, Paul brings the church back to what matters most: don’t be alarmed, don’t chase the counterfeit, and don’t miss the real danger—being deceived because we prefer a lie over the truth. This Sunday we’ll see how Jesus steadies his people, how deception works, and how to grow into the kind of person who loves the light.Join us live for worship, prayer, and God’s Word—and come asking this: If figuring out the identity of the antichrist isn’t the point, what is?For more info about our church community, or to connect with us, go to www.creekside.cc

When you hear “God will judge,” do you feel relief… or dread? In 2 Thessalonians 1, Paul speaks to a church under pressure and reminds them that their suffering isn’t the end of the story—Jesus is coming back to set things right.In today’s message, “The Comfort of Judgment,” we’ll see how God grows faith and love in hard seasons, why Jesus’ return is meant to steady us (not scare us), and how God supplies the power for faithful obedience as we wait.Join us live and come ready to be encouraged with real hope.For more info about our church community, or to connect with us, go to www.creekside.cc

We often approach the Bible looking for lessons to apply or principles to follow—but what if that approach causes us to miss the main point? In this message, we explore Jesus’s own teaching on Scripture and discover that the Bible, properly understood, is a unified story that ultimately points to Him. Drawing from passages like Luke 24, John 5, and John 15, we see how it’s possible to know the text well and still miss the Person it reveals.This service invites us to shift from reading the Bible moralistically to reading it relationally—from hunting for life lessons to learning to see Jesus on every page. You’ll be equipped with practical questions and tools to help you read Scripture with Christ as the focus, allowing God’s Word to draw you into deeper relationship with the living Word. Whether you’re new to the Bible or have read it for years, this message offers a fresh and life-giving way to engage Scripture as it was meant to be read.Access the Scripture reading plan here: https://www.creekside.cc/daily-in-the-word-reading-planScripture Study Resources:https://bibleproject.com/https://www.blueletterbible.org/https://www.youtube.com/mikewingerReliability of the Bible Resources:https://www.wesleyhuff.com/can-i-trust-the-biblehttps://www.reasonablefaith.org/media/reasonable-faith-podcastFor more info about our church community, or to connect with us, go to www.creekside.cc

Many people want to read the Bible—but struggle with doubts, confusion, or dry seasons that make it hard to stay engaged. Is Scripture really reliable? Why does it feel difficult to understand at times? And what if reading it doesn’t stir our emotions the way we expect?In this message from our Daily in the Word series, we address the honest “buts” people carry about the Bible and explore why Scripture is still worth staying with. Drawing from James, Peter, Luke, and the life of Jesus Himself, we discover that God uses His Word over time—not always easily, but faithfully—to reveal Jesus and shape who we are becoming.This message isn’t about pressure, guilt, or having all the answers. It’s an invitation to keep engaging Scripture with confidence, even when it feels challenging, trusting that God is at work beneath the surface. Whether you’re skeptical, curious, or simply discouraged, this message offers clarity, encouragement, and a practical next step for staying rooted in God’s Word.Access the Scripture reading plan here: https://www.creekside.cc/daily-in-the-word-reading-planScripture Study Resources:https://bibleproject.com/https://www.blueletterbible.org/https://www.youtube.com/mikewingerReliability of the Bible Resources:https://www.wesleyhuff.com/can-i-trust-the-biblehttps://www.reasonablefaith.org/media/reasonable-faith-podcastFor more info about our church community, or to connect with us, go to www.creekside.cc

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
