Join Pastor Jeff as we explore Jesus' teaching from Matthew 6 together and find the answers to these questions. Matthew 6:31-33 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. /episode/index/show/creekkids10/id/36728110

May 30 2025 Today is FRI-YAY! And a shout-out day for a birthday girl!

Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. 4 He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said. 5 He was seen by Peter[a] and then by the Twelve. /episode/index/show/creekkids10/id/36662295

May 28 2025 05/28/2025

May 27 2025 05/27/2025

May 27 2025 Today, Pastor Jeff reminds us that when we believe in Jesus, God forgives our sins and fills our hearts with His Spirit.

May 26 2025 This is week 4 for our VBS lessons, and it is all about Magnifying God's forgiveness. Join Pastor Jeff as we explore the story of Jesus and Nicodemus this week from John 3. John 3:5-8 5 Jesus answered, “What I’m about to tell you is true. No one can enter God’s kingdom unless they are born with water and the Holy Spirit. 6 People give birth to people. But the Spirit gives birth to spirit. 7 You should not be surprised when I say, ‘You must all be born again.’ 8 The wind blows where it wants to. You hear the sound it makes. But you can’t tell where it comes from or where it is going. It is the same with everyone who is born with the Spirit.” /episode/index/show/creekkids10/id/36661495

May 23 2025 05/23/2025

May 23 2025 It is FRI-YAY! And with a special shout-out. Today, Pastor Jeff teaches us that when we live for Jesus, tell others about Him, and show His love in how we act, we help others "see" God more clearly, just like the woman at the well did. John 4:25-26 25 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.” 26 Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.” /episode/index/show/creekkids10/id/36585165

May 22 2025 05/22/2025

May 22 2025 Pastor Jeff shares today that sometimes, God answers prayers in surprising ways, ways we might not understand at first, but they are even better. John 4:11 and 13-14 11 “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” /episode/index/show/creekkids10/id/36583975

May 21 2025 05/21/2025

May 21 2025 Today, Pastor Jeff reminds us that Jesus sees our hearts and that each person He created is important to Him. John 4:9-10 9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew. I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” She said this because Jews don’t have anything to do with Samaritans. 10 Jesus answered her, “You do not know what God’s gift is. And you do not know who is asking you for a drink. If you did, you would have asked him. He would have given you living water.” /episode/index/show/creekkids10/id/36583730

May 20 2025 05/20/2025

May 20 2025 Sometimes, we think we have to say or do something huge to show God's love. But Pastor Jeff reminds us that, just like Jesus, we can start with something small. John 4:6-7 6 Jacob’s well was there. Jesus was tired from the journey. So he sat down by the well. It was about noon. 7 A woman from Samaria came to get some water. Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?” /episode/index/show/creekkids10/id/36583290

May 19 2025 05/19/2025

May 19 2025 This is week 3 of our VBS lessons, and it is all about Magnifying God's Love. Today, Pastor Jeff shares that Jesus comes right to where you are—at home, school, church, or anywhere else. John 4:4-5 4 Jesus had to go through Samaria. 5 He came to a town in Samaria called Sychar. It was near the piece of land Jacob had given his son Joseph. /episode/index/show/creekkids10/id/36582880

May 16 2025 05/16/2025

Mark 4:40-41 40 He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Don’t you have any faith at all yet?” 41 They were terrified. They asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!” /episode/index/show/creekkids10/id/36490685

May 15 2025 05/15/2025

And it was completely calm. /episode/index/show/creekkids10/id/36490555

May 14 2025 05/14/2025

May 14 2025 Today, Pastor Jeff teaches us that just like the disciples took Jesus in their boat, you can invite Him into your day, heart, and life. No matter where you go, you never go alone. Mark 4:37-38 37 A wild storm came up. Waves crashed over the boat. It was about to sink. 38 Jesus was in the back, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him up. They said, “Teacher! Don’t you care if we drown?” /episode/index/show/creekkids10/id/36490380

May 13 2025 05/13/2025

May 13 2025 Today, Pastor Jeff reminds us that you don't have to be a grown-up to follow Jesus or talk to Him. You're important to Him right now. Mark 4:36 36 They left the crowd behind.

May 6 2025 05/06/2025

May 6 2025 Today, Pastor Jeff teaches us that when we come to Jesus with excitement, like when we can't wait to open a gift, we magnify Him! Mark 10:14-15 14 When Jesus saw this, he was angry. He said to his disciples, “Let the little children come to me. Don’t keep them away. God’s kingdom belongs to people like them. 15 What I’m about to tell you is true. Anyone who will not receive God’s kingdom like a little child will never enter it.” /episode/index/show/creekkids10/id/36394440
