Many people want to read the Bible—but struggle with doubts, confusion, or dry seasons that make it hard to stay engaged. Is Scripture really reliable? Why does it feel difficult to understand at times? And what if reading it doesn’t stir our emotions the way we expect?In this message from our Daily in the Word series, we address the honest “buts” people carry about the Bible and explore why Scripture is still worth staying with. Drawing from James, Peter, Luke, and the life of Jesus Himself, we discover that God uses His Word over time—not always easily, but faithfully—to reveal Jesus and shape who we are becoming.This message isn’t about pressure, guilt, or having all the answers. It’s an invitation to keep engaging Scripture with confidence, even when it feels challenging, trusting that God is at work beneath the surface. Whether you’re skeptical, curious, or simply discouraged, this message offers clarity, encouragement, and a practical next step for staying rooted in God’s Word.Access the Scripture reading plan here: https://www.creekside.cc/daily-in-the-word-reading-planScripture Study Resources:https://bibleproject.com/https://www.blueletterbible.org/https://www.youtube.com/mikewingerReliability of the Bible Resources:https://www.wesleyhuff.com/can-i-trust-the-biblehttps://www.reasonablefaith.org/media/reasonable-faith-podcastFor more info about our church community, or to connect with us, go to www.creekside.cc

We’re all being shaped every day—by what we watch, read, scroll, and listen to. The real question isn’t if we’re being formed, but by what. In this message, we explore how Scripture functions as God’s primary tool for shaping and reshaping our lives over time. Drawing from 2 Timothy 3:14–17, we’re reminded that the Bible isn’t something we outgrow or graduate from, but a lifelong source of training for our minds, hearts, and actions. This message invites us to move from being formed by default to being formed on purpose, and to begin (or renew) a simple, sustainable habit of engaging Scripture regularly—not perfectly, but faithfully. Whether you’re consistent, inconsistent, or just starting again, this message offers clarity, hope, and a practical next step.Access the Scripture reading plan here: https://www.creekside.cc/daily-in-the-word-reading-planFor more info about our church community, or to connect with us, go to www.creekside.cc

God never designed the Christian life to be lived alone. In this service, we explore the relational heart of God’s Kingdom and why following Jesus has always been a shared journey, not a solo one. Through Scripture, practical insight, and honest reflection, we’ll see how God uses relationships—being known, bearing burdens, and growing together—to form us into mature disciples of Jesus.Whether you feel deeply connected or quietly distant, this message invites you to consider your next step toward meaningful community. We’ll also share how Connection Groups at Creekside create space for real relationships, spiritual growth, and shared life beyond Sunday mornings.Join us as we lean into God’s design for the church: growing together, becoming more like Jesus, and learning to love one another the way He first loved us.For more info about our church community, or to connect with us, go to www.creekside.cc
