Canyon Ridge Christian Church Podcast

We will always harvest what we plant, even in our friendships. When we show up for our friends and bring the fruit of the Spirit, we are preaching the gospel with our interactions. To become more like Jesus, how can we do the work of change with the help of the Spirit and some friends?

What if we asked: God, what do you want to change about my approach to friendships? Sometimes, we don’t take steps in community because we think we just don’t have time. But as we see in Ephesians 5 and Galatians 6, God created us from relationship for relationships. How can you be full of care in how you invest your time, and realign your calendar to form your friendships?

Friendship is hard work, but always worth the risk. We need the affirmation, support and truth that comes with meaningful friendship. As we see across Scripture, committed friends remind us of God’s love for us, by how they choose to be with us and for us. How can you be the kind of friend you’d like to find?

The grace you experience, you did nothing to deserve; God extends it freely to you. Just as Jonah discovered as he looked out at Nineveh, we also are invited to extend grace freely to others, even to “those people” whom you just don’t want to receive grace. Who is your “Nineveh” that you can extend grace toward because God first loved you?

The Scripture uses many metaphors to describe God's characteristics, one of which is motherhood. We see all throughout the Bible how motherhood reflects the image of God through His care, compassion, and love. Discover how God invites everyone to reflect His image and how so many ways that people mother point back to Him.

When have you sought a second chance? Just like Jonah and the Ninevites, you’ve likely needed a fresh start before. In those moments, God’s desire is not to condemn you. He wants to rescue you, offering new life through His son, Jesus.

What would it take for you to change your mind in Jesus' direction? When we can admit we are wrong and need help, we make the space for God to do the work in us to become disciple-makers! If we can accept it for ourselves, are we willing to offer it to others?

Where are you tempted to take shortcuts in your formation? Your toughest seasons are your greatest invitation to be shaped by God. He does His greatest work in your weaknesses and challenges, if you’ll let Him. How can you trust God more with your formation this week?

Why does it feel easy to blame people instead of problems? Staying together paints the picture of who God is to those around us. This sort of life requires that we remember why we are together and who we are becoming. Reconciliation is a mindset and a commitment. What step do you need to take to find your way back together again?

Have you seen Jesus? Easter reveals the true character, person, and divine purpose of Jesus. Through His death, burial, and resurrection, all things are made new — even how you see yourself and others. Jesus changes everything!
