Canyon Ridge Christian Church Podcast

There are lots of voices fighting for your attention. Who will you listen to? Who do you want to become? The voice of Jesus is one of grace and truth. He and His Word will transform you more and more into someone who walks with compassion and mercy without sacrificing truth or righteousness. Where can you invite Jesus to renew your mind this week?MESSAGE NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49558466RESOURCES: https://www.canyonridge.orgBLOG: https://canyonridge.org/blogs/

When God acts, and people respond differently to His action, Jesus warns that it can bring division. In this, Jesus invites us to declare the power in His name and to show up compassionately. The stakes are high, but they're worth it because He is coming to do something greater. We are the sent ones to bring Good News, not a burden. So, we pray, share, pray, share, pray, share. MESSAGE NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49555408RESOURCES: https://www.canyonridge.orgBLOG: https://canyonridge.org/blogs/

When He encountered a world needing better, Jesus leaned in and partnered with His people. He was sent to suffering and sends His followers to do the same. Matthew 10 reminds us that although we will be questioned, divided, called names, and threatened, He will give us answers and save us. He brings the truth, and He never leaves us. If we are sent to suffering, we can ask for wisdom, endurance, and presence. If we aren't, we should question if we are observers or participants. MESSAGE NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49552188RESOURCES: https://www.canyonridge.orgBLOG: https://canyonridge.org/blogs/

We have been sent to share with others what we have received through a life with Jesus. How do we do that? We follow Jesus’ compassionate heart, leaning in when it’s easy to draw back. His compassionate response to suffering is to commission His followers. Jesus’ words in Matthew 10:1-14 remind us of the ways we show up as compassionate disciple-makers. We speak and act, give and receive, stay and go. How will you show up with compassion this week in places that seem easy to draw back?MESSAGE NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49548735RESOURCES: https://www.canyonridge.orgBLOG: https://canyonridge.org/blogs/

To show compassion is to suffer with another person. You can’t show compassion from far away; you have to get close, offering patience, service, and love to the suffering. In Matthew 9:35-38, Jesus demonstrates compassion and invites His followers to live compassionately, too. Where will you practice compassion this week? MESSAGE NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49545344 RESOURCES: https://www.canyonridge.org BLOG: https://canyonridge.org/blogs/

How will you make this new year different? Philippians 2 tells us that though Jesus was fully God, He was born a human to die on the cross so that we might have eternal life with Him. Now, the same God, the name above all names, partners and lives with us. How is God inviting you to embody Christ this new year? MESSAGE NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49542395RESOURCES: https://www.canyonridge.orgBLOG: https://canyonridge.org/blogs/

When have you been let down by the false promises of the world? And in those moments, where do you look for peace? The Bible promises deep, true peace that can only be found with Jesus. With Him, all is well.MESSAGE NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49539447RESOURCES: https://www.canyonridge.orgBLOG: https://canyonridge.org/blogs/

When was the last time you felt lost in the dark? When we try to find good without God, we find ourselves far from the good God had in mind for us, trying to find our way in the dark. The Good News is that because of the promise fulfilled in Jesus, we have the opportunity to walk out of the darkness. The story of the gospel is a promise fulfilled that was set 700 years before Jesus' arrival on earth. Take a closer look at how Jesus is our light in the darkness. MESSAGE NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49535972 RESOURCES: https://www.canyonridge.orgBLOG: https://canyonridge.org/blogs/

Are you living the with-God life? When Jesus was born, he was called “Immanuel,” which means “God is with us.” God promises to be with you always, and He is willing to be with anyone who is willing to be with Him. With him, you will experience a steadiness and salvation that cannot be found without. How can you make fresh space to be with God this week? MESSAGE NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49532538 RESOURCES: https://www.canyonridge.orgBLOG: https://canyonridge.org/blogs/
