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 4-1-12 (Zane)
April 4, 2012
This past Sunday, we looked at Christlike sacrifice. The emphasis in Christlike sacrifice is that Jesus laid down His life. He laid His life down through death on the cross. Jesus willingly going to the cross in order to bear my sin, my shame, and my punishment is radical. Just as radical, is the fact [...]

This week PM and PJ preached on the believer’s call to righteousness; specifically as it relates to sin in the believer’s life. As we grow in Christ, we ought to sin less. Our example in living a life of righteousness and holiness is Jesus Christ. Jesus is not only the model and example for [...]

Christlike Faith and Prayer Pastor Mike’s sermon, Sunday, hit me hard when he got to his second point. The whole idea of faith and prayer mixed together is a foundational concept for Christians, but the working out of that concept sure has a varied look to it. What is clear is that Christians believe [...]

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 [...]

February 13, 2012
Pastor Mike, in his series “What Does Christlike Look Like?” presented a challenging message last Sunday concerning the capacity that believers have to love like never before. In fact, his message clearly demonstrated the overarching power and impact of God’s love expressed through His followers. However, PM (Pastor Mike) couched the sermon in a word [...]

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 [...]
