CREEKSTONES MISSION

"Creekstone Church exists to glorify God by helpingpeople come alive to the wonder of Gods grace."

WE AIM TO ACCOMPLISH THIS

MISSION:

Through Grace-Driven Teaching,

Through Grace-Shaped Community, and

Through Grace-Motivated Outreach.

ESSENTIAL BELIEFS

The BibleThe Bible is Gods special revelation to humanity,centering on the glory of Gods grace through the life,death and resurrection of Jesus. Therefore, as the word ofGod, the Bible alone is our ultimate authority for all oflife, theologically, devotionally and practically.

FaithPeople are reconciled to God, not by their own goodworks, but through faith alone in the good works ofJesus. Therefore, someone becomes a Christian not bydoing for God, but by receiving from God.

GraceSalvation being through faith alone means that peopleare reconciled to God by grace alone through thesubstitutionary death of Jesus. Therefore, the Christians

standing before God is a gift, not a reward.

JesusOur only hope of forgiveness, righteousness, and eternallife is only gained through the life, death andresurrection of Jesus Christ, not by any merit or effort ofour own.

The Glory of GodThe goal of our theology is that God alone would receivethe glory for redeeming, adopting and empoweringsinners with new life. Therefore, there is no room for self-righteousness in the gospel, but only for boasting in thecross of Jesus.

For a more in-depth survey of our theological orientation,check out the Westminster Confession of Faith and

Catechisms and/or our extended theological summary onthe Creekstone website.

The Creekstone office is located on the Historic Square at40-B Public Square South just above the Mass BayTrading Company. The mailing address is PO Box 1234,Dahlonega, GA, 30533.

FOCUS: KEEPING FIRST THINGS FIRST

Message 1 of 5 The Most Crucial Moment of Every Day

TODAYS BIBLE PASSAGE: Luke 10:38-42

38 Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village. And a woman named Martha welcomedhim into her house. 39 And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened tohis teaching. 40 But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said,Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me. 41 But theLord answered her, Martha, Martha, you are anxious and t roubled about many things, 42 but onething is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her. (ESV)

A LISTENING GUIDE FOR TODAYS MESSAGE:

Main idea: What if you could wake up and live your day with a sense of peace and focus rather thananxiety and stress? You can. But it requires learning and practicing the lesson that we find in Luke10:38-42. What we discover in these verses is the most critical moment of every day. What is it?Lets find out.

I. Mary Sits (vv. 38-39)

II. Martha Stands (v. 40)

III. Jesus Sides (vv. 41-42)

QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION & DISCUSSION:

1) How might the most critical moment of every day affect every other moment?

2) Reflect upon and discuss this statement, A tree has to have roots in order to provide shade.3) What is my white elephant, and how can I be prepared to overcome the temptation to tend it at the

most critical moment in every day?
