Two weeks ago, Canyons Church started an emphasis on the church body that will last through the end of this month. We have been studying what Christlike service looks like in the life of a believer. Yesterday, PM looked at the fact that the service of believers in Christ is to be motivated by compassion [...]

ECHO- 3/18/12 (Zane)
March 20, 2012
The sermon about Christlike prayer this week was a helpful guide to moving into a place where we are able to delight in prayer. This happens as we dedicate ourselves to the task of prayer. Perhaps the greatest takeaway from PM’s sermon was that there is no place for legalism in our prayer lives. God [...]

This is an incredibly late follow-up to last week’s sermon about Christlike forgiveness. I would apologize but I feel like that might put you in a weird position where you would feel like you would have to forgive me, lest you be accused of not putting a sermon into practice. Forgiving people is a difficult [...]

This Sunday, Pastor Mike shared the need for us, as believers in Christ, to have a Christ-like concern for other people and specifically for other believers in Christ. Galatians 6, reminds us to help in carrying the burdens of others while also taking care in carrying our own burden. Essentially, this requires believers to be [...]

This Sunday, Pastor Mike preached out of Matthew 7 and John 7. More specifically, he taught about the process of “de-logging”. This process speaks to the need to lovingly speak the corrective truth of the Bible to those in need of correction but also of the need to examine ourselves and to deal with the [...]

This Sunday, Pastor Mike gave us an overview of the series, “What Does Christlike look like?”. This is an incredibly important question to ask if we, as Christians, have been called to Christlikeness in our lives. It is important to clarify that we have not been called to a performance driven existence. There is, however, [...]

What’s Next? The idea of a hell, a place of absolute darkness and separation from God for all eternity, is not a savory thought. Jokes are made of the fun that the incredulous will have with their buddies, partying the “night” away, as if this design was somehow a subset of an afterlife that [...]

The reality that Jesus is returning escapes me most of the time. Living with the kind of intentional purpose that such a reality demands is difficult at times. Maybe you are like me and it is easy to take for granted that there is a definite end in sight. There is a definite point in [...]

I’m not a huge fan of perilous times…or of being affected by them. I don’t like it that Jesus said that believers would suffer or be the object of persecution. I hate that there are believers around the world that are ostracized from their families, or put in prison, or even killed because of their [...]

The caution of Jesus in Matthew 24:4 to, “See that no one leads you astray,” is a sober reminder of our incredible ability to be led astray. Of all the things that Jesus could have said in regard to the end of the age, He chose to start the conversation by telling His disciples to [...]
