This morning, Pastor Greg discusses the concept of being ‘on mission,’ which is the third element of Oso Creek Church's mission statement.

This message aims to challenge and deepen your walk with Christ through this aspect of our mission statement.

What happens though when that passion fades and what do we do about it? These aspects are covered in this message titled: Passionate or Passionless.
Read MoreToday Pastor Greg speaks the last message in our series: “the Bible Doesn’t Say That”. The emphasis & ethos behind today’s commonly used phrase, is what we are dealing with today in our culture: cultural relativism, secular humanism & naturalism, and religious pluralism.

Read MoreIt REALLY rained this week in Corpus Christi, TX. We were in the northern band’s path of tropical storm Alberto. We have definitely needed the rain in our drought parched land, but WOW…..some devastation & destruction have happened along with the rain. The musical group Rascal Flats sang a lyric that stated, ‘life is a highway’. They wanted to just drive & drive on this highway of life. Life is not like a highway……life is more like living out in the sea and storms come upon the sea, as a matter of fact, vicious storms can happen on the seas. Sometimes it seems like more than we can handle. Would God actually allow ‘more than we can handle’ in our lives? <—That’s what we are going to discuss this morning.
Read MoreToday on this Father’s Day Pastor Greg unpacks a very important statement made by the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 12. This statement pretty much sums up the life of the Apostle Paul and its application is one that is needed to be embraced by men of God as well as women of God. The world does not like weakness, but that is what God is after in us for when we are spiritually weak, that’s when we will be spiritually strong
Read MoreAs we continue our series: The Bible Doesn’t Say That, we come across a phrase that people think occurs to believers but in reality, the Bible has A LOT to say in the exact opposite. There are people that believe that when one surrenders & submits their lives to Jesus, they pick up their Cross & follow Him(Matt 16:24-26) then they should not have to suffer at all. The Bible actually shows that there is a grand purpose for our suffering.

What does the Bible say about ‘judging’ others? Part 2 tackles the main emphasis of Jesus’ teaching in Matt. 7:1-6, self-evaluation.

Read MorePastor Greg continues his new series called: “The Bible Doesn’t Say That” by talking about a very controversial doctrine that is being taught in churches today. This doctrine states: “Every Christian should be ‘healthy, wealthy, & wise….er, comfortable”. Does the Bible really teach this or does the Word of God instruct us in a different way? The Apostle Paul answers this question in his letter to Timothy and to the Philippian church.
