“The Passion Begins” – 4/13/25 (Palm Sunday) Service

April 13, 2025

Stephen Streett

The Passion Begins (Palm Sunday) 
Mark 11:1-11
                                                                                          
Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week and commemorates Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem, an event recorded in all four Gospels (Matthew 21:1-11, Mark 11:1-11, Luke 19:28-40, John 12:12-19). As Jesus entered the city, crowds gathered, laying palm branches and their cloaks on the road, shouting "Hosanna to the Son of David!" and "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" This event fulfilled the prophecy from Zechariah 9:9, which spoke of a king coming to Jerusalem, gentle and riding on a donkey.
 
Palm Sunday is significant because it sets the stage for the events of Holy Week, leading to Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. It highlights the contrast between the crowd's initial enthusiasm and their later cries for Jesus' crucifixion. Sunday’s sermon emphasizes Jesus' love and mercy, even in the face of betrayal and suffering, which began to unfold during this week. Palm Sunday reminds Christians of Jesus' humility and the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan, ultimately leading to the resurrection celebrated on Easter.
 
Grace and Peace,
Stephen

“The Gospel of Christ, a Hidden Treasure (Seeing as Jesus Sees) – 4/6/25 Service

April 6, 2025

Stephen Streett

The Gospel of Christ, a Hidden Treasure (Seeing as Jesus Sees)
Matthew 13:44–46 & Luke 2:25–35

In our world, value is often determined by rarity, talent, or historical significance. A Picasso painting or a Michael Jordan jersey fetches millions because of the stories and achievements they represent. But what about the value we place on people? Do we see them as God sees them, as sacred and treasured? This week’s sermon reminds us that Jesus is the light of God, revealing both the beauty and the darkness in our world. He invites us to know Him intimately, to abide in His love, and to be transformed by His presence. Jesus is not just a teacher; He is God in human form, offering us a treasure beyond compare.
 
When we encounter Jesus, we find a hidden treasure that compels us to abandon everything else to belong to Him. This treasure is not just for us to keep but to share with others, especially those whom society might overlook or reject. We are called to see the dignity and worth in every person.
 
Lord Jesus, You are the light of the world, revealing the truth of God's love and grace. Help us to see others through Your eyes, recognizing the hidden treasure in each person. May we abide in Your love and be transformed by Your presence. Teach us to love You above all and to love our neighbors as ourselves. Give us the courage to step beyond social taboos and be a presence in our communities that reflects Your love. Amen.
 
This weekend, take a moment to reach out to someone who might feel overlooked or undervalued. Offer them a word of encouragement or a simple act of kindness. Let them know they are seen and loved by God. This would be a great Sunday to invite someone to Misty Creek and reach out to someone you have not seen at church in a while.
 
I hope to see you on Sunday!!

“Breaking Down the Barriers” – 3/30/25 Worship Service

March 30, 2025

Stephen Streett

This Sunday, I will share a real-life story about a barrier that resulted in unprocessed fear, which may resonate with both those present and viewers online. We will explore the powerful message of unity and reconciliation in Christ. Throughout history, walls have been erected to divide and separate, from the ancient structures of the Egyptians and Babylonians to the symbolic barriers within the Jerusalem temple. Yet, in Ephesians 2:14, we are reminded that Christ has destroyed the dividing wall of hostility, uniting us as one people in Him. Discover how we, as living temples, are called to break down barriers in our own lives and communities, fostering peace and unity through the love and sacrifice of Jesus. Let us come together to live out our faith, embracing the call to be a holy temple in the Lord.

I hope to see you on Sunday!!

“Water in the Wilderness” – 3/23/25 Service

March 23, 2025

Stephen Streett

Water in the Wilderness
Numbers 20:1-13

This week, I invite you to journey with us through a pivotal moment in the life of Moses as we explore "Lessons from the Wilderness." In my upcoming sermon, we will delve into the profound truths found in Numbers 20:1-13, where Moses faces a significant test of faith and obedience. Despite his long history of leadership and faithfulness, Moses' actions in this passage serve as a powerful reminder of the importance of honoring God's holiness.

We will reflect on the consequences of disobedience and the necessity of trusting in God's purposes, even when His answers are not what we expect. Through Moses' experience, we will also discover the matchless grace of God, who provides for His people even in their moments of doubt and complaint.

Join us as we learn how to apply these timeless lessons to our own lives, embracing God's holiness, trusting His plans, and living in gratitude for His abundant grace. I look forward to us growing together in faith and understanding.

In Christ's love,
Stephen

“There’s No Place Like Home” – 3/16/25 Worship Service

March 16, 2025

Doug allen

There’s No Place Like Home

Ecclesiastes 3:11 & 1 Corinthians 2:9

The Lord has placed a desire within every human heart for home. A deep longing to be in a place and around people where we are truly known and unconditionally loved. God gives us a glimpse of this on earth with our families and friends but it pales in comparison to our true eternal home in heaven. We will look at God’s promise of heaven for those who have put their trust and hope in Jesus Christ. It’s a beautiful place, a place that is beyond description or even imagination. The Apostle Paul describes it this way.

1 Corinthians 2:9
No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him.

I hope you can join us as we delve into God’s Word and embrace His promise, there truly is no place like home.

To God be the glory!
I love y’all

“Destroying the Walls of Separation” – 3/9/25 Worship Service

March 9, 2025

Stephen Streett

This Sunday, I am excited to share with you a powerful sermon that explores the theme of unity in Christ and the breaking down of barriers that separate us. Drawing from the Apostle Paul's teachings in Ephesians, this sermon reminds us that through Christ's death and resurrection, the dividing walls of hostility have been destroyed, uniting us as one people in Him.

We will delve into the historical significance of walls, both physical and symbolic, and how Christ's sacrifice calls us to live beyond these divisions. Our faith challenges us to embrace peace and reconciliation, living as a holy temple in the Lord. This message is especially relevant in today's world, where divisions often seem insurmountable.

Join us as we reflect on how we, as Christians, are called to be agents of peace and unity, embodying the love of Christ in our communities. Whether through the dedicated service of our Stephen Ministers or our daily interactions, we are reminded that in serving others, we find the holiest place on earth.

I look forward to sharing this inspiring message with you.

Grace and Peace,
Stephen

“Gratitude is the Antidote to Worry” – 11/24/24 Worship Service

November 24, 2024

Stephen Streett

In Sunday’s sermon, I will be highlighting the importance of gratitude and trust in God, especially during the Thanksgiving season, acknowledging that many people struggle with worry, primarily over food and body image. The sermon illustrates that worry is often a substitute for faith and can lead to destructive outcomes, urging listeners to focus on giving thanks as a remedy for anxiety. Citing Jesus' teachings, the sermon reassures that God values us highly and will provide for our needs, encouraging a mindset of trust rather than worry. Ultimately, I will emphasize that a spirit of gratitude fosters a happier and more fulfilling life, reminding us to relax in the certainty of God's love and care. I hope to see you in person or online.

Grace and Peace,
Stephen
