Canoe Creek Christian Church

How are you at dealing with people who disagree with you? How well are you at dealing at people who are offensive? How well do you manage this on social media? Are you being disciplined and practicing how to respond to people with the same mercy and grace that God responds with?

David made prideful decisions that cost him a great deal, but thankfully, he wasn't known for having a prideful spirit.

We are partnered in Community.

Being a partner of a local church helps you get connected, grown in faith, and go with others to serve the community. As we partner in generosity, we can have a great impact all around us.

Partnering with the local church enables us to engage God's global mission. The local church is a part of a great purpose - an eternal purpose.

Sometimes we hear things and misunderstand them. We need to be rooted in God's church as a member. When most of us hear that, we immediately think that means being a member of Canoe Creek. It doesn't.

There is a choice we can all make, we are either rooted in God's will or our world.

A good thing to keep in mind as we discuss these verses today is: we don't have to be identical twins to be brothers and sisters in Christ.

The resurrection of Jesus allows us to experience heaven here and now. In order to fully experience God's presence now, we must be deeply rooted int he things of God.

What is below the surface matters. The more we grow roots in the truth about our redemption, the more our present reality will be shaped by the power of God.

What is below the surface matters. Grow deep roots and live strong.

Many people are surprised to learn that the resurrection makes it possible to have life right now, not just after death. Jesus promised to give us a full life.

Loving people like Jesus is a result of our hearts being moved by what it cost to find us. When this happens, we become passionate about God's mission.

When we love people like Jesus did it has the power of capturing their attention and turning their heart toward God. God's mercy/compassion is able to transform us into compassionate/merciful people.

We want to love other people like Jesus. In order to do that, we need to go in peace. Do we know how to do that?

Signs are a big deal. They can help people or frustrate people. We want our sign to say, "Grace".

Jesus had a love that was accessible because He made His heart available to the Father. Accessibility begins with availability. How are we extending our heard to God so we can better intend our lives to others in love?

Many people who do not want to be Christian or attend a church believe they know or have a perception of what the Church is against. It is our passion to help them learn about what the Church is FOR.

One of the most difficult things about connecting and remaining connected to Christian community is feeling welcomed. Our enemy uses our past and current failures to try and convince us we are not worthy, driving us away from the one community that can help us develop new patterns for living a life we dream of.

There is a community that can exceed any expectation you might have. It is a community that God is crazy for and it is a community that has the power of changing your life.

Everyone wants to be satisfied. Quite often, people think money will do it. But the reality is that nothing satisfies more than godly stewardship. The scriptures demonstrate that truth and tell us how to become a better steward. It impacts way more than just money, and is far more satisfying than something that can be burned up or lost.
