Canyon Creek Church Sermons

Paul is at the end of his earthly ministry and is in prison. He has Luke by his side to help write his final encouragements to the church. One such letter is sent to his beloved Timothy, whom he has raised up to know Christ. He charges Timothy, and us, to stand up boldly for Christ. Soo not be governed by fear but instead be filled by the power, love, and self-control of the spirit of God. Join us...

Many people believe in God and believe God loves them and calls themselves Christians yet they are just as selfish, anxious, hate-filled, and messed up as everyone else. Beliefs must be turned into a changed character and our focus on Sunday will be asking how God calls for that transformation to happen. Hint: It's by being deeply involved in an intimate Christian Community. That kind of community...

We are built to thrive in the gospel-saturated community. We are designed to encourage, admonish, and love one another. We are called to avoid division and serve side by side. Join us this Sunday as we learn from 1 Corinthians 12:12-31.

One Biblical characterization of our accomplishments is to label its fruit. The metaphor indicates that we are all living and growing and bearing some kind of fruit in our lives. The big question in Jesus' mind is what kind of fruit or treasure are we producing and storing up as we strive to achieve. This Sunday we will look at Jesus paint a story of a high achiever who fell into the soul traps th...

Since it's mother's day, maybe an emphasis on the joy and motivations for hard work and accomplishment. See Prov. 31 woman. Gifts, talents, skill, mind, used to achieve for the glory of God. Results in helping family and neighbors. This message celebrates God-given Work as a blessing that gives us self-esteem. We are designed to create, work hard, and have individual talents to accomplish in uniqu...

The heart is the center part of our inner being. In Psalm 139, David pleads for God to search his heart and lead him in the way everlasting. To have a “Thriving” relationship with God, we need to understand our hearts, surrender our hearts, and learn how to guard our hearts against threats and temptation. Join us on Sunday as we look to God’s Word to teach us how to do just that.

There is a segment of each of our lives that is inward and immaterial. Some call it ego, some call it the soul, some characterize it as the private place we do our ‘self-talk’. This inner part of us is sometimes disguised by us, often times it is concealed and unexpressed, while many people are very revealing about what they are thinking, believing or feeling. The Bible calls this part of us the “...

Should Christians be concerned about whether or not they are Thriving? If we were to define Thriving as flourishing, growing, maturing, blooming, or advancing; and the opposite of Thriving being declining, waning, stagnating, or atrophying; we would probably all agree that flourishing and Thriving is something God calls us toward. In today’s Scripture lesson we are called to become “pleasing” to o...

He is Risen! Jesus would not be held down by the grave. He has defeated the grave and bought for each one of us the opportunity to have life eternal. It is a mysterious and glorious truth that can be difficult to comprehend. Join us this Sunday as we celebrate our resurrected King.

Christ paid it all. He came to conquer sin. He died in our place, so we can have a relationship with our Father. Please join your church family as we prepare our hearts for the coming of our Christ Savior this Easter.

Palm Sunday is here and we are celebrating our King. Jesus's triumphal entry into Jerusalem launched the passion week that would see Jesus crucified and resurrected. During that week in the upper room teaching Jesus revealed that he is The Vine. Jesus was the new Israel that would bring life to all those who were connected to him. He invited everyone into a dynamic relationship with Almighty God!...

Jesus has a vision for your life that is beyond what you might imagine. We are so consumed by carnal desires and fail to see that we are designed for so much more. We are created to glorify God and enjoy the life that He has given us. As Christians, we are called to resist the fears and worry of this world as we rest in the hope and joy found in Christ. Join us this Sunday, online at 10 AM, as we...

We live in extraordinary times but not unprecedented times. God works through his people both in times of prospering and trouble. God is always preparing his church to do the gospel ministry no matter the world events that face it. Join us as we finish our series by teaching from Exodus 40 which reveals how we are prepared to give God glory in all circumstances.

Last week we looked at Israel's great trespass; while Moses was up on the mountain with God, they fashioned an idol and worshipped it. Moses hopes that "perhaps I can make atonement", but he cannot. We read further to find that God somehow is able to renew the covenant and dwell with and bless these "stiff-necked" people. How can a Holy God grant amnesty to a people who have thought and acted this...

​It's the third month of Exodus from Egypt. The people of Israel have joyously made a covenant with the LORD. They will obey His commands and ways, and He will be their God and lead them into a land of promise. Moses is called up the mountain where God instructs him regarding how He will dwell or tabernacle with the people. Ironically and odiously, at the base of the mountain, the people give Mose...

"The Priest" (Exodus 28) Exodus 28 gives us insight into the role of a priest in the Old Testament. In this passage, God describes the expected garments of the priest in the tabernacle. This section of Exodus is a beautiful foreshadowing of the future New Covenant and of Christ Himself. We will be discussing the role and purpose of a priest and what a priest mean to us today.

God desires a relationship with his people. God has gone to great lengths to establish the opportunity for a relationship with him. This Sunday join us as we continue to learn how God has rescued us and offered a relationship with us at a heart level.

God is faithful to his people. Even when we are not faithful He hears and extends His grace. Even more than extending grace, however, God provides a way of peace, hope out of despair. Join us this Sunday as we explore these themes in Exodus 16.

600 Egyptian war chariots coming at you would cause anyone to feel fear. What do you do when the situation is so difficult that you feel powerless and on the edge of doom? That day the Israelites melted into anxious faithlessness. Then Moses told them to stand firm and in silence, watch the LORD vanquish their enemy. By the end of the day all the chariots were at the bottom of the Sea. Exodus 14:3...

How does the Most High God, our Creator, handle the rebellion of humanity? How can One whose nature is Holy and Just, also be Merciful and Loving? The creation needs justice and we want justice to reign over others, but what about our own rebellion and sin? The Tenth plague is about Justice and Mercy and the vivid story demonstrates how the LORD can choose to show mercy, even to us as we eat and d...

In Exodus chapter 7 & 8, Egypt is struck with plagues. We look into what God is up to in the midst of these plagues and how He is establishing Himself as the One true God. In this passage, we clearly see the wrath of God at work in Egypt, but we also witness and marinate in the richness of His goodness, kindness, and grace.

We continue this week looking at Exodus 3 and 4. In one of the more recognized stories in Scripture Moses encounters God at the burning bush. Join us this Sunday as we learn how this encounter teaches us about how we can approach God for ourselves and discern His call in our lives.

Moses is being shaped and formed to be a great leader. The path to becoming a great leader is experiencing the trials and life situations you want to lead others through. The Lord is giving Moses experiences that will help him lead Israel out of slavery.

We launch into the New Year looking at one of the great sagas told in all the Bible. The Exodus is the story of God redeeming an entire nation called to teach the world about God’s love for all people.
