TEACHING

What Matters Most: As we step into a new year, many of us will make resolutions to improve our health, habits, or success. But what if there’s one resolution that matters more than any other—one that, if you keep it in 2025, will make God smile? This 6-part sermon series challenges us to answer question: “What matters most?”

Jan. 26:  Love Does: Real love gets its hands dirty. Want to love like Jesus? Start serving like Him. So, roll up your sleeves and join us as we discover why actions speak louder than words when it comes to love.

Join us in-Person at 9:00am (acapella) or 11:15AM (instrumental) or Livestream at YouTube.com/Clearcreekcoc or clearcreek.online.church.
