Canyon Ridge Christian Church Podcast

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/

How do you respond to struggle? Jesus teaches His followers to pray against temptation, saying, “God, lead me and protect me.” Living Jesus’ way, even in the midst of struggle, looks different from the rest of the world. How can you practice standing firm in the face of temptation this week?MESSAGE NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49528844RESOURCES: https://www.canyonridge.orgBLOG: https://canyonridge.org/blogs/

Prayer creates the space for amazing things to happen in us and around us. Jesus paints the picture of a forgiving disciple-maker in the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6:9-13. How will people follow a forgiving Father if they don’t experience a forgiving people? Sparking a movement of disciple-makers takes extraordinary prayer and being able to reflect the characteristics of Jesus, especially forgiveness. How is God inviting you toward relationship with Him and His people?MESSAGE NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49525887RESOURCES: https://www.canyonridge.orgBLOG: https://canyonridge.org/blogs/

Prayer is deeply transformative. Jesus teaches people to pray with three simple points: Our Father; Your Way; Right Here. When you pray in this way, you align more and more with the things God wants. What can you bring to God through prayer this week?MESSAGE NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49522419RESOURCES: https://www.canyonridge.orgBLOG: https://canyonridge.org/blogs/
