Creekwood Christian Church

This week, we continue our series on Sabbath. As we encounter the prophet Elijah in the wilderness, scripture reveals for us the divine nature and holy mandate of naps and snacks for a holistic, healthy life and faith.

Finding a moment for sabbath can be difficult when we feel like there are storms brewing around us. We feel like we need to be in the thick of things all the time. How do we keep our head above the waves and still find time for centering ourselves, grounding our spirits, and honoring God's commandment to experience Sabbath rest?

This week, Rev. Whitney connects Black Panther, King Josiah's reform, and our current climate of violence as we wrestle and wonder with how God is at work even in the midst of crisis.

This week we begin a new sermon series, "Unlikely Heroes" exploring the lessons for our persona faith lives we find in scripture and the Marvel Universe. This week's sermon focuses on the Judges 4 and Captain Marvel.

This week, Rev. Whitney talks about why building community is necessary in order for the church to function and thrive. This sermon is part of our ongoing Capital Campaign.

Ministerial Resident, Rebekah Stutheit, shares reflections on the importance of list-making and the never-ending work of God.

This week, Rev. Jonathan preaches on the trials and tribulations of Lamentations 3 as they relate to prayer and trust.

This week, we continue our worship series "Honest to God," focusing on the topic of thanksgiving. Rev. Whitney preaches a sermon that helps us understand there are different ways to say, "Thank you."

This week, we begin a new worship series, "Honest To God," taking a look at the ways prayer invites us to be honest with God about what we are feeling, where we are in life's journey, and what hopes or needs we see around us. Rev. Jonathan preaches on Psalm 100, talking about how our prayers of praise and worship bring us into holy spaces where we can encounter God.

This week we celebrate the miracle of resurrection and the invitation Christ offers us to share the story of love that is redemptive, death-defying, and loud.

This week, we wrestle with why our desire to be sure sometimes outweighs our desire to be faithful.

This week, we consider how apathy hardens our hearts and makes it easy for us to look away from the need for help and hope we see in our world.

This week, we continue our Lenten sermon series and talk about the sin of xenophobia. Suspicion, fear, and hatred of our fellow human beings leads to division, violence, and crucifixion in our world. How can we create pathways to change and resurrection?

How does our world's obsession with material things stand in the way of our relationship with God?

Between wealthy men yelling at fig trees and wealthy parents cheating to get their kids into college, we have two parables (one from scriptures and one from the national headlines) that help us understand how living like we are owed everything erodes God's kingdom vision.

This week, we begin our Lenten Sermon Series, "The New Seven Deadly Sins." Using Luke 4:1-13 as our scripture text, we consider how selfishness lies at the center of sin, shortcoming, and turning away from God in our world. How do we turn outward towards God and our neighbor?

This week, Rev. Whitney shares a re-write of 1 Corinthians 13:1-13. What does love really mean for us in our modern context as we try to be God's faithful people.

We like to be comfortable and cozy. We like to feel like everything is familiar and friendly. But, are comfort and familiarity faith-filled Christian values? Check out this week's sermon.

This week, Rev. Jonathan continues our sermon series, "Do You Have the Guts?"

In our February sermon series, we are looking at what it means to take risks and leave our comfort zones behind in an endeavor to serve God and our neighbors more faithfully. In this first installment, we talk about compassion as the place where love, discomfort, and faithfulness meet.
