Canyon Ridge Christian Church Podcast

Have you ever heard the saying, "God has a plan?" After hearing that, did you look around the world and ask, "Really?" Jesus explains that God's plan is to bring good and justice back into the world. And He is inviting you to join Him in working His plan out. God wants to make back things as they ought to be. Will you join Him?

What is your first reaction anytime somebody disagrees or offends you? The next time you find yourself in a place of disagreement, offense, or having been wronged, remember you have a choice. You can choose mercy or judgment. Jesus says that those who live a life marked by mercy find their way to the good God has in store. Remember that judgment sees the issue.  Mercy sees the person. This is how...

Everyone learned things from the last year that you don't want to forget. As the Covid pandemic begins to ease up, things start feeling a bit more "normal," and life speeds back up; how do you take what you've learned during Covid and set a new pace for life? The invitation of Jesus is to live at a kind of pace that, with His help and His people, is meaningful, enjoyable, AND s...

How do you keep things under control? The past year has given everyone a taste of what it's like to be overwhelmed. Jon Tyson once said, "Control is an illusion."  This illusion makes it easy to feel safe when things get shaky. Jesus says that when you surrender this need for control, God can show up in new ways! What do you need to give up so that God can show up with the rest and...

The story that Jesus tells in Luke 14:15-24 is an excellent example of the good things that God has in mind for you and your people. The Bible says that from the beginning of creation, God had blessings in mind.  It also says that people have questioned God's motives and looked elsewhere for blessing. However, many people spend their lives running at an unsustainable pace, chasing blessings t...

When was the last time you actually enjoyed the results of your hard work? Or when was the last time you accepted help from someone else? So often, people are taught not to celebrate the good stuff in life because it could come across as "Self-centered" or "boastful." It's easy to not accept help because you don't want to owe anyone anything. But did you ever think th...

God created you to be creative! He cares about creativity, about beauty.   He invites you to reflect His creativity and care in your creativity!  So, get out there and explore creative outlets to enjoy God and others.

Look up and know that God created the heavens and knows each star by name – He knows your name. Look closely and appreciate His beauty, and know that His love for you is greater. Look within yourself and see that you are loved the kind of love that would lead Jesus to a cross, to die for you, so that you could enjoy God forever.

We feast to connect with God, to connect with others, to connect others to God, and to anticipate Jesus' return. Who will you feast with this week?

We often look for God's help in the most challenging seasons of life- and rightly so. But what about in the good stuff? Is God only there for the challenges? We don't just meet God in hard times or "disciplines," we can enjoy him in the good things of life! What God has made and how we experience it are invitations to encounter and be present with Him. He created us to enjoy hi...
