    Life is full of moments where playing it safe is the wise choice—crossing a busy street, making a big investment, or protecting something fragile. But when it comes to your soul, playing it safe might actually be the most dangerous move of all. In this message, we’re asking: What is the Christian life really about? Is it about keeping your options open—or going all in with Jesus?In Romans 12:1–2, the apostle Paul invites us to present our whole selves to God—not just our spiritual lives, but our bodies, decisions, habits, and hearts. He makes it clear: everyone is already being formed by something. The only question is whether we’re being shaped by the world or transformed by Christ. Today, we’ll explore how true transformation begins with surrender, and why betting your life on Jesus is not just bold—it’s the only move that makes sense.In this kickoff to our All In series, discover why half-commitment is never neutral, and how Jesus invites you not into religious performance, but into total, grace-fueled surrender.For more info about our church community, or to connect with us, go to www.creekside.cc

  • Get This Party Started (Faith for Foodies #10)
    2025/07/28

    What if the story of the world doesn’t end in destruction… but in celebration?

    In this final message of our Faith for Foodies series, Pastor Luke explores one of the Bible’s most vivid and hopeful promises: the wedding feast of the Lamb and the restoration of all things.

    We’ll look at how the story that began with a forbidden bite in the Garden ends with a gracious feast in a garden-city—where the Tree of Life reappears, exile ends, and God’s people are fully restored to their purpose and His presence.

    Main Texts:
    Revelation 19:6–9
    Revelation 21:9–22:5
    Isaiah 25:6–9
    Genesis 3:22–24

    In this message, we’ll discover:

    • Why the return to Eden gives us hope that’s neither naive nor cynical

    • What it means to live as a royal priest now, even before the final restoration

    • How the end of the story transforms the way we live, work, and worship today

    Whether you're feeling weary, hopeful, or somewhere in between, this message will remind you that everything sad will come untrue—and that a better feast is coming.

  • Food Fight (Faith for Foodies #9)
    2025/07/21

    What do you do when Christians disagree on moral or theological issues that aren’t clearly addressed in Scripture? How do we know when something is a matter of freedom—or a matter of faithfulness? In today’s message from Romans 14:1–15:6, we explore one of the most practical and challenging issues facing the early church—and still facing us today: how to love one another when our convictions don’t align.In a church made up of both Jewish and Gentile believers, differing backgrounds led to differing practices—especially around food. Paul helps the Roman church (and us) navigate the tension between liberty and love. This message unpacks how to know when to “agree to disagree,” how to honor God with your conscience, and how to preserve unity when drawing the wrong line could divide the very body of Christ. Join us as we open Scripture, sing together, and pursue Christ-centered peace in a divided world.For more information about our church community, or to partner with us, go to www.creekside.cc.

  • Barbaric Table Manners (Faith for Foodies #8)
    2025/07/14

    What happens when people from radically different cultures try to follow Jesus together? That’s the challenge the early church faced in Acts 15—and it’s one we still wrestle with today.Some Jewish Christians believed Gentiles had to adopt all their traditions to truly belong. Others, like Paul and Barnabas, insisted that salvation is by grace alone. At the heart of the conflict was this question: how do we build one church family out of people with different customs, values, and backgrounds?In this message, we explore the Jerusalem Council’s surprising decision—and what it means for our church today. You'll discover how the gospel calls us to embrace discomfort, lay down personal preferences, and make space at the table for people who aren’t just like us. Because real unity doesn’t come from sameness—it comes from love.For more information about our church community, or to partner with us, go to www.creekside.cc.

  • Cooking with Poo (Faith for Foodies 5)
    2025/06/23

    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.
