What if the thing controlling your life is the very thing God wants to use to draw you closer to Him?This week, Pastor Gregg continues our Unhurried series by exploring the spiritual practice of fasting and why it has been a vital rhythm for followers of Jesus throughout history. Looking at Jesus' temptation in the wilderness, we discover how fasting trains us to say no to our desires, strengthens us for spiritual battle, and sharpens our focus on God. In this message, we learn that fasting isn't about earning God's favor—it's about creating space for deeper dependence on Him and learning to hunger for God more than anything else.If you've ever felt distracted, spiritually stagnant, or controlled by desires you struggle to overcome — this message is for you.We hope that you enjoy this series!

What if the power you're looking for isn't found in trying harder—but in praying first?This week, Pastor Gregg continues our Unhurried series by exploring one of the most essential rhythms of the Christian life: prayer. Through Acts 4, we see how the early Church responded to opposition, pressure, and cultural resistance—not with fear, panic, or compromise, but with prayer. In this message, we discover how prayer fuels the mission of God, why boldness flows from being with Jesus, and how the Holy Spirit empowers ordinary believers to faithfully live on mission in a world pushing against the gospel.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the darkness around you, exhausted from carrying burdens in your own strength, or unsure how to stay faithful in a hostile culture — this message is for you.We hope that you enjoy this series!

Thank you to all the wonderful Missy Bevers supporters who came out in support of the Ten Year Anniversary of Missy's tragic murder. We had an awesome group of people there for the live podcast, which took place at Heritage Park in downtown Midlothian. Missy Bevers was murdered at Creekside Church in Midlothian, Texas, early in the morning on April 18, 2016. She was there to set up to teach her 5 AM Camp Gladiator class.

This week, we continue in Romans 9–11 and step into one of the most debated conversations in Christian theology: election, predestination, and God's sovereignty. In this message, we explore how Scripture holds both truths in tension — that God initiates salvation while still calling people to respond in faith. Discover why this discussion isn't meant to create division, but to deepen our trust in God's character and fuel our response to the gospel.If you've ever wrestled with whether God has chosen you or what predestination really means — this message is for you.We hope that you enjoy this series!

In this message, we explore how the brokenness of the world traces back to sin, why both creation and our hearts groan for something more, and how God uses even our pain to form us into the likeness of Christ.

The gospel doesn't just repair what was broken — it overwhelms it with grace.In Romans 5, Pastor Gregg reveals the stunning reality that through one man came condemnation, but through Jesus comes justification and life. This week in Gospel Blueprint, we see that salvation is not fragile or barely enough — it is abundant, secure, and “much more” than we could imagine.If you've ever wondered whether God's grace is truly sufficient for your past, your weakness, or your story — this message is for you.Subscribe to stay up to date with what God is doing at Creekside Church!Website: https://creekside.churchInstagram: @creeksidechurchnp

In this message, we explore what it means to be united with Christ not only in His resurrection but also in His crucifixion, and why true freedom is found in laying down the old self.In a world that loves comfort and cheap grace, Romans 6 reminds us that following Jesus is not about keeping sin close while claiming salvation—it's about dying to the flesh so we can truly live in newness of life. We hope that you enjoy this series!

Why does the struggle still feel real if you've already been set free?This week, Pastor Gregg walks us through Romans 7 and the tension every believer knows — loving Jesus yet still feeling the fight against the flesh. In this message, we explore what it means to be freed from the Law through Christ while still actively waging war against sin. Discover why the Law reveals our need, why truth must be applied, and why the gospel is not just something we believe — it's something we battle from.If you've ever asked, “Why do I still do what I hate?” — this message is for you.We hope that you enjoy this series!

What does it really mean to be made right with God?In Romans 4, Paul dismantles the idea that righteousness is something we earn and replaces it with a far better truth: righteousness is something we receive. From Abraham to David to us today, God has always justified people the same way — not by works, effort, or religious performance, but by faith alone.Pastor Gregg walks us through how justification is credited, not achieved; how sin is forgiven and no longer counted; and how faith protects grace so that our confidence rests in God's promise, not our performance. In Christ, we don't work for righteousness — we live from it.If you've ever felt like you're striving for God's approval, this message is an invitation to rest in what Jesus has already finished.Keep up to date with what God is doing at Creekside Church!Website: https://creekside.churchInstagram: @creeksidechurchnp

The gospel isn't about being better — it's about being made new.Pastor Gregg walks us through Romans 2–3 as the spotlight turns inward, exposing the limits of morality, religion, and self-righteousness while revealing our deep need for grace. This week in Gospel Blueprint, we're reminded that God's kindness is meant to lead us to repentance and that our hope rests not in what we do for God, but in what Christ has done for us.If you've ever found yourself comparing, striving, or quietly trusting your own goodness — this message is for you.Subscribe to stay up to date with what God is doing at Creekside Church!Website: https://creekside.churchInstagram: @creeksidechurchnp

In Week 2 of Gospel Blueprint, Pastor Gregg walks us through Romans 1:18–32 to confront the darkness that makes the gospel so powerful. Paul shows us that God's wrath is not reckless anger, but holy justice flowing from love — because God opposes what destroys what He loves.We look at how humanity suppresses truth, exchanges God for idols, and how sin doesn't just stay private — it reshapes hearts, minds, and culture. But this passage doesn't end in despair. Before God gives sinners over, He gives His Son over. Jesus took the wrath we deserved so we could receive the grace we don't deserve Keep up with Creekside Church!Instagram: creeksidechurchnpWebsite: www.creekside.church

We don't move past the gospel — we grow deeper in it.In Romans 1:1–17, Paul reminds us that the gospel isn't about our effort, performance, or religious activity — it's the power of God for salvation. This week, we kick off our new series Gospel Blueprint by returning to the foundation that shapes everything we believe, who we are, and how we live.If we misunderstand the gospel, we misunderstand God, ourselves, and what it truly means to follow JesusSubscribe to stay up to date with what God is doing at Creekside Church!Website: https://creekside.churchInstagram: @creeksidechurchnp

What does it really mean when we say “God is love”?In this final week of Advent, we reflect on the powerful truth that love is not something we climb up to — it's something God came down to give. Christmas isn't about humanity reaching for God; it's about God stepping into our darkness through Jesus.This message walks through how, in Christ, God's love is revealed, defined, received, and reflected. Jesus is the light that shines in the darkness — not to condemn us, but to rescue us, restore us, and invite us into life.Keep up to date with what God is doing at Creekside Church!Website: https://creekside.churchInstagram: @creeksidechurchnp

Joy doesn't disappear when life gets hard — but it does deepen.In Psalm 126, we see a joy that isn't built on circumstances, but on remembering God's faithfulness, honestly bringing our needs to Him, and trusting that today's tears are not wasted.This week, we explore how true joy is formed in the waiting, sustained in suffering, and anchored in the promises of God. Advent reminds us that joy has arrived — and it's still coming.Subscribe to stay up to date with what God is doing at Creekside Church!Website: https://creekside.churchInstagram: @creeksidechurchnp

Where is your hope anchored?In Romans 8, Paul reminds us that all creation is groaning — longing for redemption. The truth is, misplaced hope makes us restless, but anchored hope makes us resilient. Advent invites us to anchor our souls in Christ, not in temporary things that can't hold the weight of our lives.This week, Pastor Gregg reminds us that real hope isn't a thing to hold; it's a Person who holds you. Jesus is our living hope — the anchor that keeps us steady even when the world around us shakes.Subscribe to stay up to date with what God is doing at Creekside Church!Website: https://creekside.churchInstagram: @creeksidechurchnp

You can be in the Father's house and still miss His heart.In Luke 15, Jesus tells the story of two lost sons — one who ran away in rebellion, and one who stayed home in self-righteousness. This week, Pastor Gregg reminds us that grace doesn't just rescue the rebellious; it redeems the religious.When our faith becomes more about performance than presence, we can lose sight of the Father's heart. But the good news is—He still comes out for both.Subscribe to stay up to date with what God is doing at Creekside Church!

What happens when we finally wake up to the reality that life apart from God doesn't work?In Luke 15, Jesus tells the story of a son who chased freedom but found famine. Yet in the middle of his mess, something shifts: “when he came to himself.” That's where conviction begins—when we realize sin over-promised and under-delivered, and the Father's love is already waiting on the porch.This week, Pastor Gregg reminds us that repentance isn't about fixing ourselves; it's about returning home to a Father who runs toward us with compassion.Subscribe to stay up to date with what God is doing at Creekside Church!Website: https://creekside.churchInstagram: @creeksidechurchnp

What happens when we choose life apart from God?

What if your greatest failure is the very place God wants to meet you with grace?This week, Pastor Gregg Sizemore walks us through David's darkest moment—his spiral into sin with Bathsheba, the cover-up that followed, and the confrontation that changed everything.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day. We are in a brand new book of the Bible. Go to the website and grab the Scripture Journal for this study so you can study along with us. Shout out today to Fred Jackson, from Elk Grove, CA, and his bride, who listen every day. I met Fred recently at the Men of Honor Conference at Creekside Church, and he came up and introduced himself, confessing that he had put together that the guy he had been listening to every day was standing on the stage! I love it. Today, we're looking at Mark 1:1-3: The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. As it is written in Isaiah the prophet, “Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way, the voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight,'” — Mark 1:1-3 Everything changes with the arrival of the gospel. It isn't just news—it's history in the making. Mark opens his account with a statement that turns everything upside down: "The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God." These aren't just the first words of a book—they are the first words of hope for the entire world. Jesus didn't just arrive; He was sent with a purpose. The gospel has always been part of God's plan. Mark goes on to show us that this wasn't a random event. It was the fulfillment of centuries-old prophecies. The messenger—John the Baptist—was sent to prepare the way. But preparation isn't just about getting things ready on the outside; it's about making our hearts ready for Jesus. John's call to make straight paths for the Lord is a challenge for us today. Is your heart prepared? Are you ready to receive the gospel, or are there roadblocks and distractions in the way? The gospel doesn't just come to inform; it comes to transform. The question isn't just whether we've heard the gospel—it's whether we've allowed it to reshape our lives. The starting point for all of this is simple: Jesus is the Son of God, and he's here to change everything. This isn't just a story about someone else's faith. This is a call to action for us. The question is: How are you preparing the way for Jesus in your life? Maybe it's time to clear out some clutter, repent of old habits, or make space for God to move in new ways. John the Baptist's message wasn't just for those in the wilderness—it's for us, too. Prepare your heart for the Lord, and let the gospel change you. #PrepareTheWay #GospelTransformation #HeartOfRepentance ASK THIS: What are the "roadblocks" in your life that prevent you from fully receiving the gospel?
