Mark Kline :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, August 14, 2022 In 1st Samuel chapter 25, a “rich and rude rancher” named Nabal provokes the anger of the warrior David. Mark Kline highlights the wise and well-timed peacemaking efforts of Nabal's wife Abigail, whose grace rises above the foolishness of her husband and the rash anger of David. The sins of Nabal and David remind us of what can happen if we take our eyes off God, and Mark shows how Abigail's better way ultimately displays for us the light of Christ in a world that encourages folly and fury.

What's in a name? It's virtually impossible to hear the name Judas and not think of the word traitor or betrayal. Mark Kline teaches about the life Judas Iscariot and his self-inflicted death from Matthew 27:1-10. Mark imparts the importance of a good name, a genuine faith, a faithful view of Jesus, a clear conscience, and a godly legacy, contrasting Judas' betrayal to that of Peter, who was eventually restored. Even when those who appear close to Jesus fail, His invitation to “come to Me” leads to salvation, restoration and a life worth living. With suicide now as our nation's leading cause of death, Mark closes with a pastoral word of encouragement toward hope in Christ, the leading cause of eternal life.

Although the majority of children who catch COVID recover without incident, some progress to multi-system inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C), thousands wind up in the ICU, and nearly 1,000 American children have died. Mark Kline, Physician-in-Chief, Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of Children's Hospital New Orleans talks with Stephanie Desmon about why omicron is such “a different animal,” what's next for vaccine trials for kids under five, and how Louisiana is taking big steps to protect children with vaccination mandates.

Tonight on the Last Word: The Pentagon announces the completion of the military withdrawal in Afghanistan. Also, Hurricane Ida hits Louisiana 16 years after Katrina. And Louisiana hospitals face storm damage amid the Covid surge. Lucas Kunce, David Rothkopf, Ali Velshi, Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré, Dr. Mark Kline and Joe Cirincione join Lawrence O'Donnell.

Tonight on the Last Word: U.S. troops keep up evacuation efforts despite threats. Also, Louisiana hospitals brace for a hurricane amid Covid. And Texas Republicans add more restrictive provisions to their voting bill. Michael Weiss, Eugene Robinson, David Rothkopf, Michelle Grossman, Dr. Mark Kline, Tara Raghuveer, Rep. Mondaire Jones, TX Rep. Rafael Anchía, Brittney Cooper and Courtney Kube join Jonathan Capehart.

Dr. Anthony Fauci says he's hopeful the Food and Drug Administration will give full approval to the coronavirus vaccine by the end of August and predicted the potential move will spur a wave of vaccine mandates in the private sector as well as schools and universities.  The FDA has only granted emergency-use approval of the Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines, but the agency is expected to soon give full approval to Pfizer.  That approval will hopefully encourage more unvaccinated Americans to get their shots as the delta variant continues to surge through much of the United States -- with many of the infected being children.  One example: children with COVID-19 used to make up 1% of patients hospitalized at Children's Hospital New Orleans. Now they account for about 20%, according to Dr. Mark Kline, physician-in-chief at Children's Hospital New Orleans.  He said about half of the children hospitalized are under 2 years old. Most of the others are between 5 and 10 years old, so too young to be vaccinated.   And National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins expanded on that with ABC "This Week" anchor George Stephanopoulos this weekend saying: "We know that kids under 12 are likely to get infected and if we don't have masks in schools, this virus will spread more widely" putting kids right back into the remote learning they were in when the pandemic first began.  Back-to-school season has already begun.

The CDC warns that young children are at risk of severe Covid-19, with new data showing that children under five years old hospitalized with the virus tripled in the first half of July. Dr Mark Kline, Physician in Chief at Children's Hospital New Orleans, joins to give his experience of treating children who are becoming increasingly infected with the contagious delta variant and how the situation has now developed into a game-changer. The United States is averaging more than 108,000 new Covid-19 cases per day as Florida Governor Ron Desantis  threatens to withhold the salaries of superintendents and school board members who disregard his executive order prohibiting mask mandates for school districts. Carly Simon, Superintendent of Alachua County Public schools joins to tell Don why she is standing up to Governor Desantis. Washington D.C. Police Officer Jeffrey Smith was one of the many who rushed to defend the capitol on January 6th. The 12-year veteran was hit in the head with a metal poll during the riot and became the second officer to take his own life after defending The Capitol. His wife Erin Smith joins to discuss her asking D.C. to recognize her husband's death as being in the line of duty. Sources tell CNN that New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's closest confidants spent the weekend trying to convince him to resign in the wake of the New York's Attorney General's report which alleges the Governor sexually harassed 11 women. CNN Political Analyst Errol Louis joins to talk about Governor Cuomo's attorney's CNN interview in which she addresses the explosive allegations by 'state trooper number one'. Finally, a new report from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, concludes that the Earth is warming much faster than scientists had previously realized, with the U.N. Secretary General calling it "a code red for humanity". The past five years have been the warmest on record for our planet and 18 of the hottest 19 years have occurred since 2001. Jennifer Francis, Senior Scientist at the Woods Hole Research Centre, joins to give her perspective on the report and its implications for our futures.

Tonight on the Last Word: President Biden and New York Democrats call on Gov. Andrew Cuomo to resign after a New York attorney general report finds Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women. Also, Mary Trump discusses the country's post-Trump “reckoning.” And Dr. Mark Kline, Physician-in-Chief at Children's Hospital New Orleans, says the Delta surge dispels the “myth” that children are immune to Covid-19. Rebecca Roiphe, Deanna Paul and Josefa Velásquez also join Lawrence O'Donnell.

Mark Kline :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, May 30, 2021 "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul?" Mark Kline preaches from Matthew 16:21-28—Peter's rebuke and Jesus' eternal perspective on discipleship. Mark's message is a challenge to adopt God's word as our mindset and to put God's plans before our own for a life fully lived. Worship music permitted under CCLI License #264436.

Mark Kline :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, February 28, 2021 Jesus spoke in parables to conceal the truth from the hard-hearted and superficial whose irresponsibility with it would only bring more judgment on themselves, but also to reveal the truth to the sincere seeker who would use it to grow God’s kingdom. Mark Kline preaches about the Parable of the Sower from Matthew 13, explaining the story’s four types of soil and the spiritual meaning that Jesus unlocked for His disciples. In contrast to the kinds of earth that don’t foster growth, we are encouraged to be “good soil” where seeds flourish, as seen in the life of a Christian "who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit” and becomes a sower along with Christ. Worship music permitted under CCLI License #264436.

Mark Kline :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, March 15, 2020 “Blessed are the peacemakers...” Even though we live in a world of disharmony and conflict, Christians are to love others and make peace. Mark Kline preaches from Matthew 5:9-12, looking at the examples of peacemaking exhibited in God Himself, the Lord Jesus, and His apostles. On this National Day of Prayer, Norb Metzler precedes Mark’s message with a prayer in light of the Coronavirus pandemic.

Mark Kline :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, December 29, 2019 "Where is He who was born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him." (Matthew 2:2) Mark Kline concludes our Christmas sermon series with a message from Matthew 2:1-12 following the Light-led journey of the Magi to worship, the efforts of Herod to kill, and the apathy of the Jews at the time, for the Messiah. Mark's message challenges some nativity scene stereotypes as well as our own seeking of the Savior.

Mark Kline :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, November 3, 2019 "...a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." Mark Kline continues our 'He Who Made Them' series with a message from Genesis 2:18-25 on the sometimes cherished and sometimes challenged institution of marriage. Mark explores the original, complimentary design for marriage as Adam and Eve received it from God, as well as the practical implications today from God's design and subsequent revelation from Scripture regarding marriage, singleness, divorce and remarriage.

Mark Kline :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, March 10, 2019 “By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks.” Mark Kline preaches from Hebrews 11:4. As children of Adam, Cain and Abel both believed in God. But while Cain wanted to come to God his own way, as Mark highlights, we find valuable lessons from Abel’s faith, sacrifice, and death, as well as a reminder of the impact our lives can have on others. Mark’s message follows brief announcements by Steve Smith.

Steve Smith :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, March 3, 2019 Faith in Christ is the only permanent solution to human hopelessness, giving Christians pardon, peace, and power to live in a world that is often against us. Steve Smith preaches from Hebrews 11:1-3, where we learn that faith in a supreme Christ provides us with 3 insights into genuine faith to motivate us to embrace and exercise it. Steve’s message follows a brief word from Mark Kline about our quarterly missions offering and Lucas and Lois Richard’s lunch presentation following the service.

Mark Kline is Senior Manager of Energy and Nut Purchasing at Hershey Co. He explains the value of Almonds for the company.

Mark Kline :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, November 11, 2018 The intended audience of the book of Hebrews was in large part recent converts from Judaism and spiritually lazy or immature Christians, like many in our churches today. As the author labored to push his readers toward a mature faith and a “meatier” grasp of the truth of Jesus Christ as our great high priest, Mark Kline preaches from Hebrews 7:1-10 and the heftier teaching of Melchizedek. Mark covers the typeology, superiority, and contemporary relevance of this ancient priest and king, who was a picture of the coming Christ for Old Testament Israel. In the way Melchizedek was greater than Abraham and other patriarchs, so too is Jesus, our priest and king, greater than any other way to God. Mark’s message follows announcements and a salute to Creekside’s military veterans.

Steve Smith :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, August 12, 2018 "You have placed our iniquities before You, Our secret sins in the light of Your presence. ... So teach us to number our days, That we may present to You a heart of wisdom." Steve Smith teaches from Psalm 90:1-17 two important worship lessons related to prayer: How we approach God—with humility—and what that humility brings us to ask of Him. Steve's message follows Mark Kline's announcements about Awana and today's quarterly missions offering.

Mark Kline :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, May 20, 2018 “David replied to Abigail, ‘Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, who has sent you to meet me today!’” (David to Abigail in 1 Samuel 25:32) Mark Kline teaches two “Profiles of Faith” in David and Abigail and a lesson on mercy from 1 Samuel 25. As the fool Nabal, the 3rd character in the story, was the target of David’s wrath, we find David's mercy on Nabal drawn out by his wife Abigail, who met the need for peace. Mark challenges us to be peacemakers like Abigail, ultimately another picture of Jesus Christ, who humbly offered Himself to make our peace with God.

Steve Smith :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, January 28, 2018 “Love characterizes the church, whose prototype is Christ. It originates in God, issues in self-sacrifice, and is evidence of eternal life.” (John Stott) Steve Smith preaches from 1 John 3:11-18 about the church’s call to unconditional love for one another that proves authentic faith. Steve brings out from this passage the mandate, measure, motivation and manifestation of love we are challenged to live out before the world. Steve’s message follows an introduction of a couple deacon candidates by Mark Kline and a Sunday school announcement from Debbie Short.

Mark Kline :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, November 12, 2017 How do we know we are Christians? True Christians are called to holiness, but can we have confidence in our salvation from the wages of sin while living in a fallen world where sin is still a reality? Mark Kline presents this series’ second test of authentic faith from 1 John 2:1-6, explaining how a believer’s lifestyle of obedience can give us assurance in our standing before a holy God. Our obedience won’t be perfectly righteous, but because of the perfect, atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ the righteous—who is our advocate with the Father—we can have this confidence. Mark’s message follows Alan Crim’s announcement about Operation Christmas Child and an upcoming missionary presentation and potluck.

Steve Smith :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, September 3, 2017 When it comes to talking about Jesus, Christians should speak up instead of shut up. Creekside's new pastor Steve Smith begins a new series called "Where From Here?", charting a course through 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 and our responsibility of reaching the lost for Christ through the ministry of reconciliation, heralding the divine exchange of our sin for God's salvation. Steve's message is preceded by an introduction of Steve as an elder by Mark Kline, and a short outline of Creekside's plurality leadership model and team-based ministry.

Mark Bristow :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, August 20, 2017 How we are to live together in unity is laid out in God's word, so that the world may believe in Him. Mark Bristow preaches from John 17:20-26, Jesus' prayer for unity in the Spirit for His followers. We are challenged that Christians being one means surrendering to God's will by loving and forgiving one another. Following this message on what is known as Jesus' High Priestly Prayer, Mark Kline introduces communion with a word about Jesus as the Great High Priest from Revelation 1 and Hebrews 10, who sacrificed Himself for us.

Mark Kline :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, April 9, 2017 God's plans are not always our plans, but God's plans are always perfect. Mark Kline delivers a Palm Sunday message from Luke 19:28-40 and the Lord's triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Mark recounts the many evidences of God's sovereign plan along the way in His bringing the Savior and His kingdom into the world. Jesus was not the king people expected, but He was the very King they needed. Alec Packer then shares a devotional thought leading into communion, urging us not to miss what's important, as Jesus' disciples often did.

Gordon Johnstone :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, March 26, 2017 Christians shouldn't be driven by emotion, pragmatism, or popularity, but by doing what is right. Guest speaker Gordon Johnstone preaches from 1 Peter 5:1-4, a passage directed to pastors and elders of the local church. Gordon helps define the role of a pastor/elder (the terms are used interchangeably in the Bible), and in light of the high expectation God puts on church leadership (4:17-19), outlines what doing what is right means for leadership style, attitude, and motivation—all modeling the example of the servanthood of Jesus Christ. Gordon's message follows brief announcements from Mark Kline about missions and membership.

Kyle Clarkson :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, March 5, 2017 Where is the greatest life: in the manicured or the scarred? Kyle Clarkson preaches on Peter's exhortation to the church in the midst of service and suffering (1 Peter 3:8-22) and presents a very different view (from our culture's) of what it means to be #blessed. Kyle reminds us of the source of our blessing, what God has already done through His Son Jesus Christ, who is "the reason for the hope that is in you." Kyle's message follows a reminder by Bob Short of Creekside's "vision frame" and an introduction of one of the Creekside's pastor candidates, as well as Mark Kline's introduction of new members at Creekside.

Mark Kline :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, February 5, 2017 You don't need a collar or a coffer to be a priest. Following a missions update before our upcoming quarterly missions offering, Mark Kline continues our 1st Peter series with a message from 2:4-10 and the incredible truth and privilege of the priesthood of every believer in Jesus Christ. Mark teaches about the significance of the temple (the spiritual house whose foundational cornerstone is Christ), the Priesthood (where every believer now has access to God and spiritual gifts to build up the church), and the sacrifices we can offer through praise, generosity, and leading others to Jesus.

Mark Kline :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, December 4, 2016 Are you suffering? Are you cheerful? Are you sick? In this climactic and encouraging final message on James (5:13-18), Mark Kline presents three answers to the above situations facing us all. Mark also teaches on the role of elders in the church, the relevance of anointing with oil, and the restorative power of prayer. What a blessing it is to be a church that cares for each other to glorify a God who cares for us.

Nick Reed :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, November 11, 2016 "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God." (James 4:6,7) Nick Reed covers chapter 4 of James, showing that the pursuit of true righteousness begins with godly humility. Nick's message follows a quarterly missions update from Mark Kline, a prayerful send-off to the Hillesheim family, and an Angel Tree announcement from Marge McKeever.

Mark Kline :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, October 9, 2016 "I have hidden Your word in my heart…" (Psalm 119:11) Young and old, we can always memorize more scripture, and we know we should. But do we? Mark Kline's message challenges us with the purpose of committing God's word to memory as well as the benefits, including the strengthening of our faith, help in witnessing to and counseling others, a means of God's guidance, a stimulation for meditation, and a supply of spiritual power. Mark also notes Jesus' example in knowing scripture and practical suggestions for how we can get better at it. This is the final message in our Running The Race series.

Bob Short :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, August 7, 2016 Counter to the cultural idea of random acts of kindness, God's kindness, and the kindness we are to reflect in the Fruit of the Spirit, is with purpose and directed to a need. Bob Short preaches from Ephesians 2:4-7, 5:1, and other scriptures on the mercy-, grace-, and love-guided kindness we see in God and seek to extend to others—a kindness without harshness that's anything but random. Bob's message follows Mark Kline's announcement about next week's missions offering and a new candidate for eldership at Creekside.

Mark Kline :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, June 19, 2016 In the first few verses of Matthew 7, Jesus teaches an important lesson on human relationships, but one that is often misunderstood. Should we judge others or not? How do we deal with the "plank" in our eye when approaching others about their sin? Mark Kline covers what it means Biblically to judge rightly with spiritual discernment but without Pharisaical condemnation, and how we should help others caught in sin, with a spirit of gentleness but without pride. Mark's message follows a taste of the music from this past week at Vacation Bible School.

Nick Reed :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, May 1, 2016 "...if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell." Nick Reed covers the controvertial teachings of Jesus on lust and divorce in Matthew 5:27-32 as we continue our series on the Sermon on the Mount. Nick reminds us that God's grace is freeing. It doesn't take away earthly consequences of our past sins, but it allows us to live well in the midst of them. Nick's message follows a missions report from Mark Kline in advance of next Sunday's missions offering.

Kyle Clarkson :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, February 14, 2016 David, a man after God's own heart, was also an adulterer and a murderer, and the prophet Nathan in 2 Samuel 12:7 calls David out: "You are that man" who sinned. Kyle Clarkson reminds us that we all have the same capacity to sin as David, whose failure followed by God's forgiveness in Psalm 51 is the topic of today's message. Kyle notes that we must understand our past, profess our responsibility by confession and renunciation of sin, and realize the powerful love of God is undeserved and unconditional. In Christ, the broken can be whole and the lost can be found. Kyle's message follows a brief report by Mark Kline on 4 missionaries we will take an offering for February 21st.

Mark Kline :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, December 27, 2015 To many, like today, news of the prophesied Messiah's birth was met with hatred or indifference. The notable exception were the Magi who searched the Scriptures and followed the light. Mark Kline preaches from Matthew 2, giving us a post-Christmas fact check and informative review of the birth of Jesus, the Bethlehem Star, the significance of the Magi's gifts, the crimes of Herod, and the pursuit of Truth. Mark encourages us not to be too busy or indifferent to miss the coming of God in the flesh as well as His promise to return.

Kyle Clarkson :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, September 6, 2015 God hears the outcry of the oppressed. Kyle Clarkson concludes our Genesis series with a message from chapter 19 and the destruction of Sodom, a city known throughout Scripture by the outcries over its lack of justice, mercy and humility. Where can righteousness be found? Not in Sodom (Gen. 18), in Lot or his family, or even in Abraham. From this Kyle teaches that God will spare the unrighteous for the righteous only because of the righteous one Jesus. Kyle's sermon follows an announcement from Mark Kline about small groups and Awana.

Nick Reed :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, August 2, 2015 Do you ever feel like you're learning the same lessons from the same habitual sins over and over again? Following an announcement by Mark Kline about Creekside U and Creekside's missions outlook involving Matt and Trista Deaver, Nick Reed speaks from the life of Abram in Genesis 14 on the interdependent role of obedience, faith and integrity in the process of sanctification. None of these stand alone, and neither do we, as our Priest and King Jesus is with us.

Mark Kline :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, June 7, 2015 Sin brings pain to God and judgment to the world, a judgment that can only be escaped by God’s grace. Mark Kline begins with a short overview of what we've covered in our series on Genesis so far, and then presents a fascinating and truthful lesson on the time leading up to Noah's Flood from Genesis 6:1-8. In a corrupt society, though sinner like Noah, how can we walk faithfully with a patient and just God and be "preachers of righteousness" in our day? Mark also includes a brief but enlightening theological view on the roles of angels and demons in this curious passage.

Nick Reed :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, May 10, 2015 God didn't design marriage to be about happiness, but oneness. Nick Reed preaches a message from Genesis 2:18-25 and the creation of Eve, "a helper fit for" Adam. Nick reveals an interesting meaning behind "helper", and reminds us that if oneness is the goal, we should pursue the One who makes us one.

Alan Crim :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, April 12, 2015 "What we know about God, about creation, about ourselves, and about salvation begins in Genesis. It provides the theological pillars on which the rest of the Bible stands. If we want to understand who God is, what He has done, and what He will do, we need to know Genesis." (Kent Hughes) Alan Crim starts our new series on Genesis and presents an introductory message on the Bible's first book, touching on its authorship, creation, design, and why it matters today. The same God who spoke creation into existence would come to earth to make it clear for us (Luke 24:26). Alan's message follows a brief announcement about our upcoming "Creekside U" session from Mark Kline.

Creekside Church :: Andrew Strutzenberg :: Sunday, February 2, 2014 It is a fundamental Biblical truth that the same power that raised Christ from the dead is at work in every believer.
