Canoe Creek Christian Church

Everyone is a leader regardless of title or capacity. Everyone wants to be the best they can be at what they do in order to best lead the people or person they are influencing. They want to be at the top apex, of their game. These characteristics help us become an apex leader.

Apex leadership is being at the top of your game. Everyone is a leader and desires to be the best at whatever it is they are doing regardless of the title or capacity. The more we can be faithfully consistent in the daily details of our faith and work, the more we will aspire toward being an apex leader.

The apex is the highest point. All of us have a desire to reach our highest point. No matter our capacity or level, every person is a leader in some regard. And we all have a passion, whether outwardly expressed or inwardly held, to be at the top of our game at whatever purpose we believe we fill in this life. There are characteristics that will grow us to our greatest capacity.

When we can't control regretful circumstances, we can control how we respond.

Everyone has regrets. Regrets are a normal and inevitable part of life. Some choose to live with the weight of them and be buried under their darkness. But others choose to be renewed with a heart of repentance.

Easter recognizes the time that the world changed forever. God didn't send us a set of rules to follow or a philosophy to change our lives. He sent His Son, and the death, burial, and resurrection of Easter is a historical even that changed everything. And to this day, it is still changing lives.

The Church has a purpose to reach as many people by all means possible. The church serves, creates community, and keeps the bond of unity.

Christian community is a space where lives overlap in the presence of God so that we share burdens and celebrate victories as one leading us to personal growth.

The purpose of the church is to reach as many people possible, by all means possible, with the gospel of Jesus. The body of Jesus, His Church, empowered with his Spirit can accomplish so much when they serve as one.

When we look around we see that some things have lost their purpose. Or, they have become obsolete due to lack of innovation. When this happens in a local church, it can have very negative effects on the community.

Prayer is essential to so many people. But prayer can be misunderstood, leaving some people frustrated and even hurt. James points out how prayer can bring peace. We plan to better understand how as we explore this last sermon in this series.

The more we remember that God is and has been compassionate and merciful, especially with us, the more patience we will have with people and circumstances.

Left unchecked, our desires can lead to disfunction.

The flesh feeds on our insecurities driving us to try and belong or become to believe we are something. The gospel crucifies that need by teaching us that we do belong so that we can become as we learn to live in step with the Spirit.

We all fight in some form or another, but are we fighting the right battles?

The only real freedom we have is choosing what or who will have power over us.

New Year, new you.

God is what? Is he good, or is he bad? Is he kind, or is he cruel? At the heart of all the questions, the biggest remains... Is God loving?
