Paul D Canady's Podcast

Nobody escapes conflict. The majority of us don't enjoy contact. But, if you've lived long enough you realize it is simply part of life. So, the only question is, how do I handle conflict in a positive manner? Or, for the follower of Christ, in a godly manner? This message finds Nehemiah right in the middle of some very serious conflict. How he handles it gives us come very practical ins...

In spite of great progress in a record amount of time...the Israelites find themselves extremely discourage and ready to give up. If the pile of rubble as shrunk considerable their fears and concerns have made it seem much larger than ever. Check out Nehemiah's response to their struggles.

Nehemiah and his fellow Jews begin the process of rebuilding. "Picking Up the Pieces". What only hours before seemed like a impossibility now, not only feels possible...they are even excited. They know they are doing what God wants. He's given them clear direction on how to do it and it's time to move forward. But, serving God, doing his will doesn't mean everything will b...

"How do you eat an elephant?" One bite at a time. How do you rebuild a destroyed, protective wall around an entire city? With a demoralized workforce of men, women and children from all walks of life? Nehemiah found a way. This message will explore the "nuts and bolts" of the plan God gave him.

Nehemiah has prayed four months. Hoped four months. Waiting four months. Every day wondering is this the day God opens the door for me to talk to the King and set the plan in motion. But, the waiting goes on. How do you handled those in between times. Those "wait" times. Those "not yet" times.

A guy named Nehemiah is up against an impossible, "where do I begin" task. It's too big! It's too hard! There are just to many variables that are unknown. So what do you do when face with something like that? We'll explore that together in this series.

A guy from the 5th century before Christ found himself up against, what seemed like an impossible situation. One of those "Where do I even start" places. In this series we will follow his journey as, with God's help, he accomplishing a huge task in record time even dealing with intense opposition.

With over 640 laws in the Old Testament, looking for loopholes became a common occurrence. How do you get away from loopholes. Well, Jesus had the answer to that. We look together at his answer in this final message of the series.

Some folks have never seriously looked at Jesus because they just can't get passed what they have been told biblical faith is. This "shut off your brain", "jump into a dark hole", "just got to believe" faith. But is that really biblical faith. This message explores that question.

There is so much misinformation and misunderstanding about what it means to be a Christian. God's expectation of what it takes to become one of his followers. Many have rejected Him because of wrong information. This series tackles some of that wrong thinking and wrong information.

If you are a follower of Christ, you have a very special gift, or gifts, to use for serving God and you fellow believers. But, we often get mixed up about which gifts make the biggest difference. You might be surprised when it comes to the gifts which ones make the biggest impact.

Let's dig into the "nuts and bolts" of what some of the gifts are and how it should impact church life.

When the Body of Christ...the church...if serving each other and ministering well...it is like a beautiful piece of music...there is great and wonderful harmony.

The Apostle Paul lays the ground work for an exciting conversation about some very special gifts God has given to his children.

There are very special gifts God has given each of his followers. They certain bless the one they have been given to but they are primary for the purpose of serving others. This message speaks to seeing ourselves from a new perspective so God can use us.

For those who have stepped into a relationship with God he has given a very special gift. But, for it to accomplish what God has in mind we "followers" need to see ourselves in a new light. This message begins that discussion.

Reflection on the Bible's description of what healthy church looks like and examining True North Church in comparison.

Where is our heart when it comes to the "unchurched"? Those that don't know our Lord and how much he loves them? True North is a church with a heart for the unchurched.

What is a Church? Does True North look like God's expectation of what a church is supposed to be accomplishing? Where did the word "church" even come from?

As we have entered into a New Year some of Moses' message to the Israelites as they were getting ready to step into God's "next" for them are very appropriate for us.

Get the words wrong in a song is no big deal. But getting it wrong in life, and especially in regard to The Word, as John calls Jesus in his Gospel...is huge.

As we begin a New Year, this message helps us mark it by doing some reflection along with the Israelites as Moses speaks to them about their time in the wilderness. Deuteronomy 8:1-5

Pulling back the curtain on the decisions and sacrifices God made to step into humanity. Philippians 2:1-11

Pulling back the curtains to find the story behind the Christmas story. What did it cost God to take on flesh and blood to provide us with the Christmas gift?
