They are downcast and frustrated and confused. Jesus shows us in this story that God is always present and always working for our good.

Theologians have debated this question for centuries. In this message, Pastor Joel shares from the Gospels, answers that question, and highlights four lessons we can learn from the life of Judas.

He had a few things he had seen the night before that he had to deal with. In this message, we hear about what makes Jesus righteously angry.

Through the wilderness stories of Israel and Jesus, we see how desire, surrender, and honest dependence shape spiritual depth. As we cultivate hunger and clear distractions, we can experience true spiritual renewal.

When Joseph hears that his brothers are insecure and uncertain at their standing with him, it broke his heart.

Jacob can sense that the end of his life is near, and we can learn a lot from those who know the end of life is approaching soon.

This enables him to fulfill his calling, and God uses him to save both his brothers and all of God’s people.

In six short verses, we see four ways that God cares about Joseph. God gives Joseph protection, His presence, prosperity, and a promotion in the house of Potiphar.

Yet, God was raising him up to help save the lives of millions of people.

In John 8, Jesus claims to be the light of the world. Why is that such a big deal? And what does that mean for Jesus followers today?

We were set free to be free - and to use that freedom to selflessly serve others.

He wants them to see that everything is best when it's left in God's hands rather than taking matters into our own.

Our salvation doesn't require our obedience, but our salvation produces it. We cannot stay the same.

Instead, if we believe in Jesus, we're children of God, adopted fully into his family.

Discover how the Law and the Promise fit perfectly together in God’s plan to bring freedom through Christ.

He explains the two options and gives them a choice. We have the same predicament today. What will we believe about Jesus?

Paul defends his credibility by sharing who he is, where he came from, and the difference Jesus made in his life. Three Creeks Church https://threecreekschurch.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Podcast-92125.mp3 Sun, 21 Sep 2025 10:44:12 -0400 00:30:32 Rather than telling the Galatians how much he misses them and prays for them (like he does in most of his letters), Paul rips into the Galatians in the first paragraph of his letter.

This week, we look to the Bible to see where lust originates, how it affects us, and why God cares so much about it. We’ll see that lust can be defeated and that its penalty has already been paid through the cross of Christ.

We Google it, read articles about it, and see what other people say about it. We are being formed by the thoughts of others. Is that OK? Is that a good plan? Should we base what we believe simply on what others believe? Or is there a better way?

Many times. Yet, most of Jesus followers today are avoiding it at all costs. Do we believe Jesus when he said that facing persecution is actually a mark of a blessed life? Three Creeks Church https://threecreekschurch.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/6.15.25-POD.mp3 Sun, 15 Jun 2025 10:40:24 -0400 00:38:35 In a world full of conflict, Jesus calls us to something radically different: to be peacemakers. This week, we unpack what Biblical peacemaking really looks like, how it goes beyond conflict avoidance, and how it reflects the very character of God who made peace with us through His son Jesus Christ. Three Creeks Church https://threecreekschurch.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/6.08.25-POD.mp3 Sun, 08 Jun 2025 10:39:07 -0400 00:38:25 Jesus tells his listeners that people with pure hearts will be... blessed. Or happy. Which is what most people are looking for. So the question we have to ask is, "How, then, do we get pure hearts?" Three Creeks Church https://threecreekschurch.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/6.1.25-POD.mp3 Sun, 01 Jun 2025 12:04:53 -0400 00:34:14 God the Father shows Jesus-followers mercy, both now and forever, and it's from a place of having received mercy that Jesus-followers cannot help themselves but show mercy to others.

Our desire for rightness in our relationships with God and each other honors him and moves us to take action to bring restoration into many different spaces in our life. Three Creeks Church https://threecreekschurch.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Podcast-51825-10.20-AM.mp3 Sun, 18 May 2025 10:25:48 -0400 00:29:34 Jesus adds another one to his "string of blessings" we call the Beatitudes, and this one isn't any less confusing than the first two. Jesus, instead of advocating for aggression and a go-getter attitude, he tells his followers that meekness is one of the keys to a blessed life. Three Creeks Church https://threecreekschurch.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/5.11.25-POD.mp3 Sun, 11 May 2025 10:35:10 -0400 00:28:29 If Jesus didn't confuse them with the first Beatitude about being the happiness found in being poor in spirit, he really catches them off guard by telling them happiness is found in mourning!

Have you found happiness? Have you heard where Jesus says it can be found?

Jesus looks down at his mother, his mother's friends, and one of his disciples, and emphasizes the reality and importance of being in a spiritual family. Three Creeks Church https://threecreekschurch.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/3.30.25-POD.mp3 Sun, 30 Mar 2025 10:38:16 -0400 00:35:27 Jesus' humanity is on full display when he cries out from the cross, "I am thirsty." It proves that this was not an out-of-body experience for Jesus, but that he felt the whole thing. All for us.

This is an incredible act of "enemy love" - which is what Jesus preached. What does this mean for us? What questions do we need to answer in response to this incredible story of forgiveness?

It's a deep, gut-level, indescribably pain she's living through. And yet, in the middle of that, she puts one foot in front of the other and returns all the way back to Bethlehem, symbolizing a repentance and return to God's plan for her life. She laments, and repents, and draws out the kindness of God through these simple, rare acts of faith.

If your story doesn't seem very good right now, Mary and Joseph can relate. But the story wasn't over for them and it isn't over for you. Take heart. The arrival of Jesus changes everything.

In spite of all the hardness, as Christians, we are never alone. The Lord stands by us. The power of the gospel cannot be thwarted by sinful humans.

He stresses that that Timothy (and all of us) that we need to strive to do the work of an evangelist if we want to run the race well.

It shouldn't cause us to think about all the things we need to do for God, but rather, it should make us pause, look up, and say, "Oh my God, look at what you've done for me!"

For the rest of us though, Christians who do want our lives to count for Christ, the reality is that if we run thoughtlessly through life, following the practices and advice of the world around us, however much we may desire to live for Him, our lives will ultimately look no different from those of the people Paul is warning Timothy about.

Paul's letter to Timothy reiterates the same theme. What is disciple-making and why does it seem to matter so much to Jesus and Paul? Three Creeks Church https://threecreekschurch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/11.3.24-POD.mp3 Sun, 03 Nov 2024 12:31:34 -0500 00:42:24 When a person is looking for a church to belong to, they're likely going to want to know what the worship is like, how well-organized the kids program is, and if the church is serving in their local community. Those are all important things, but none of them are quite as important to the health of a church than the church being led by a good pastor. Paul tells Timothy what a good pastor looks like.

Because of that, Paul took time out of his last days on earth to urge Timothy about what he should "always remember". What do we need to remember if we want to follow Paul and Timothy's examples?

It shows the incalculable value of a faithful friend. Do you have one of those? Are YOU one of those?

But Paul is not ashamed. He has no regrets. And he urges Timothy to live an unashamed life.

What is this gift? Why does it need fanned into flame? Ultimately, why does it matter?

The book of 2 Timothy is a letter written by Paul to Timothy, and early in the letter, Paul highlights that he may not be the most significant spiritual influence in Timothy's life. Someone else like was. Do you know who it was?

James 3:1-12 dives into some wisdom of how we use our words as Christians. What your words do reveal what your heart is up to.

If someone says they have faith in God, but neglect people who are needy, this person’s faith is dead. Their actions betray what they say they believe.

Here's a question to answer, before you read the book of James: Do you trust God enough to do what the book of James says? No matter what it says, will you do it?
