WELCOME! We are so glad that you are part of the Creekstone Sunday
gathering today! It is our prayer that you will find Creekstone to be
a church family with whom you can connect, grow and serve. We
really want our Sundays together to be an environment where
folks can come as they are to experience heartfelt, God-centered
worship and substantive, yet practical grace-centered teaching in
the context of authentic community. So, please fill out a Get
Connected form and place it in the offering basket after the
message. We’d love to know that you were here!
THE CREEKSTONE MISSION "Creekstone Church exists to glorify God by helping people come alive to the wonder of the Gospel."
THE CREEKSTONE MOTTO "Grace Changes Everything!"
K-GROUPS K-Groups are Creekstone's community groups. These groups generally meet in homes two Sunday nights a month in order to develop authentic community in the context of a safe, grace-centered, relational atmosphere.
MINISTRY TEAMS If you are not presently on a Ministry Team, would you consider where you could serve? Just check the box on the “Get in the Game” form and place it in the offering basket after the message.

Of course, children are welcome to remain in the service.

“Grace Changes Everything”
Welcome to
TODAY’S MESSAGE: “RESTART”
Creekstone
Dr. McKay Caston, Pastor of Preaching & Leadership
MARK 2:1-12 1 A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. 2 So many gathered that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them. 3 Some men came, bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four of them. 4 Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus and, after digging through it, lowered the mat the paralyzed man was lying on. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven." 6 Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves, 7 "Why does this fellow talk like that? He's blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?" 8 Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking in their hearts, and he said to them, "Why are you thinking these things? 9 Which is easier: to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up, take your mat and walk'? 10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins . . ." He said to the paralytic, 11 "I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home." 12 He got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and they praised God, saying, "We have never seen anything like this!"
