Welcome to Creekside Community Church. In today’s message, Where Love Draws the Line (2 Thessalonians 3:6–18), we’re exploring a question every church eventually faces: when do we help, and when do we hold the line?Paul addresses a painful but necessary topic: what to do when someone in the church family refuses responsibility and becomes disruptive? This passage shows us how love doesn’t ignore what harms the body, but also refuses to treat people like enemies. Instead, Paul calls the church to pursue peace, protect fellowship, and use loving boundaries for the purpose of restoration.If you’ve ever felt the tension between compassion and accountability, or wondered how a church can stay healthy without becoming harsh, this message will give you a biblical framework and a hopeful vision. Our prayer is that God would form us into a church family so meaningful, so loving, and so safe that belonging truly matters—and worth protecting.New here? We’d love to connect with you.

If you feel spiritually tired or shaky right now, what would God say to you in a “halftime speech”? In 2 Thessalonians 2:13–3:5, Paul reminds a stressed-out church to get back to the fundamentals: anchor your heart in the objective good news of what Jesus has done, hold tightly to what you’ve received in Scripture, and keep your hands busy with God’s work as the mission moves forward.This service includes worship, preaching, and the Lord’s Supper as we re-center on grace, stand firm, and ask God to direct our hearts into his love and Christ’s endurance.Thanks for joining Creekside Community Church online.
