Canoe Creek Christian Church

God is faithful. Sometimes we don't feel like we are salvageable. Sometimes we don't feel like we are saved. But, we are reminded that God's faithfulness is greater than our faults.

Our culture has worked overtime to reshape the character of God to completely exclude Justice. We want God to be an all loving God with no capacity for judgement so we can feel good about how we live.

We have all struggled to be completely devoted to God. One key is understanding His holiness. It is human nature to ascribe worth and rank to people, places, and things. In doing so, we are influenced by the world, and God's enemy no doubt, to put God on that same scale. Now, He may rank at the top of the scale for some of us but that isn't the problem. The mistake is that He is even con...

The character of God as revealed in the scriptures and the life of Jesus doesn't always look the same as what people think about Him. The scriptures say He is good, but lots of people look around the world and ask, "how can a God be good when there is so much evil?". God is...good.

We may have perfect vision, but sometimes we still can't see clearly.

The story of Ananias and Sapphira can cause some uncertainty about the grace of God and uncertainty about our own integrity. But having and pursuing integrity does not mean we are perfect. It means we are undivided in our beliefs and actions.

Some people lack the vision to see what can be. Luke recorded a vital account from the history of the Church. In this record, Peter lacks the vision to see what can be. So God gives him a vision that leads to the expansion of the Church.

Why is it that the majority of our prayers are to change our circumstances yet, many of the prayers in the New Testament were about changing their will to accept their circumstances with boldness and courage.

The Jewish leaders that represented the temple and the establishment, were in part responsible for the death of Jesus. And yet, this is where Peter and John are headed. These were the people shouting, "crucify him", just before the death of Jesus. This is where the community is. This is where the people they can reach are interacting in the community.

Discipleship is a missional process designed by God, implemented by Jesus, and empowered by the Holy Spirit. We are exploring what's next. What is next for you as a follower of Jesus? What is next for us as His Church?

There is godly wisdom and false wisdom. The difference between the two is recognizing your place in the universe. We were created to serve God, not the other way around. When we get that mixed up, we end up following false wisdom that leads us to disorder and rivalry rather than godly wisdom that can lead us to order and peaceful relationships.

Scrabble: Every word is a winner! But not every word is a winner.

A real faith is going to lead us to be connected to God and His Church in such a way that we grow. And growing people are people who change. We are transformed in a relationship with Jesus and how we serve His will in our community.

Life isn't a game so we need to live it intentionally. Anger is an enemy of the heart that must be dealt with on the inside, rather than just hurting other people trying to be paid back for what they have done to us. The only satisfaction will come from transformation of the Spirit on the inside of us..

More and more people are seeking to be esteemed by being a victim of their circumstances. But true victory is demonstrating the character of Christ regardless of our circumstances, rather than being a victim of them. Life is a sermon series about having better lives, families, and community.

Despite death, God gives life.

Does my past prevent God's plan?
