Canyon Creek Church Sermons

Join us this Sunday as we learn about the tragic story of Judas Iscariot, one of the Apostles chosen by Jesus. His story is about self-indulgence, disappointment, and an overwhelming burden. Discover how his life is a powerful lesson on the dangers of self-indulgence and the necessity of turning to God for true fulfillment. 

In our journey of faith, we often encounter moments of doubt and uncertainty, much like Thomas, one of Jesus' disciples. Through Thomas's story, we see a powerful transformation from skepticism to a profound declaration of faith. Join us as we explore how Thomas's encounter with the risen Christ can challenge us to move beyond our doubts and embrace a deeper, unwavering belief in Jesus. 

On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus gathered His disciples and told them He would be leaving, and the world would no longer see Him. However, Jesus assured them that He would still manifest Himself to His followers. In his only recorded words, Judas, the son of James, asked, "How?" Jesus' response further explained the significant role of the promised Holy Spirit.

Jesus called a tax collector named Matthew to follow him. And he answered that call, leaving behind everything. Matthew would go on to write one of the four Gospels. But some Pharisees were not pleased when Jesus called a tax collector to be one of his disciples. Jesus, quoting the prophet Hosea, says to them, "Go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.'" Will they learn wha...

Bartholomew, called Nathanael in John, only has three statements in Scripture. But these three statements advance from derisive skepticism to questioning wonder to an assertion of transformational belief. This Sunday we will look at Nathanael's pilgrimage to belief in Jesus and think about our own journey as well.   

Do you believe that God loves you? Do you believe that his love for you is the source of your love for others? This Sunday we will be looking at the relationship between the Apostle John and Jesus.

Join us this Sunday for Part 6 of...

Join us this Sunday as we jump back into our sermon series on the Apostles. The Apostle Paul wrote almost half of the books in the New Testament. He was a Jewish Pharisee who initially hated Christians, until he had a radical encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus. Everything changed after he met the risen Lord, and Paul realized he was chosen to be an instrument of God to proclaim the Gospe...

Join us this Sunday as we explore the lives of James and John, the Sons of Thunder, in our ongoing series Walking with Jesus: Stories of the Apostles.

Don’t miss this Sunday’s message on living passionately for the gosp...

Join us this Sunday for an inspiring journey into the life of Peter, a simple fisherman who felt a profound longing for something more. Like many of us, Peter knew something essential was missing in his life—a genuine connection with God. Yet, Peter was not just an ordinary man; he was a risk taker, willing to step beyond the familiar. This boldness drew him closer to God, who ultimately called hi...

Join us this Sunday as we begin a new sermon series looking at the Apostles of Jesus. We will start the series by looking at Andrew, the first disciple called by Jesus.

Join us this Sunday as we begin a new sermon series called Politics and the Gospel. We will begin by looking at one of the most famous scenes in the Gospels. Jesus is asked by the Pharisees and the Herodians if they should pay taxes to Caesar or not. They think they've trapped him with a yes or no question. Instead Jesus says, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things t...

The apostle Paul concludes his epistle to the Colossians both instructing, and modeling, how someone united to Christ ought to speak. How should we speak to God?

Christians are made alive in Christ through his death on the cross and resurrection. Because we are united to Christ and he has overcome this world, we have died to the world's ways. We do not need to meet any outside religious regulations to be right with God. We do not need additional special experiences to prove our maturity in the faith. What Christ has said about us and done for us is suffici...

The entire Bible and all of Redemptive History is about one person: Jesus Christ. The Father tells us to listen to him. The Spirit bears witness to him. Jesus created all things. He holds all things together. He is the redeemer of all things. He is supreme over all things. This should lead us to ask ourselves if he is supreme in our lives. He is our only hope for being reconciled back to God and m...
