Canyon Ridge Christian Church Podcast

Where does your invite list end? Luke 14:15-23 teaches us that Jesus extends his invite to many unexpected guests. Those whom the world counts out are often the very people Jesus welcomes in. How can you imitate Jesus this week, inviting in people outside of your comfort zone?

Why should sinful people be allowed to experience Jesus and his forgiveness? The grace of the cross reminds us that the Good News draws no lines but brings you closer to a life with him! The unnamed woman's story in Luke 7 helps unravel the truth and grateful love found in the grace of Jesus. Hospitality is more than a task; it is a way to show the love of Jesus to those in your life. How might you shift your tables from a place to eat into a place of worship?

Why is being a loving person so hard? The night before Jesus would give his life, he gave the disciples a new covenant confirmed by the cross and a new command to love others, and he loved them. As he washed the feet of the disciples, including the one who would betray him and the one who would deny him, Jesus displayed the full extent of his love. 1 John 4:19 explains, "We love because he loved us first." How are you receiving the love of Jesus so that you may share it with others through your actions? Who might you need to show love to?

How often do you share meals with your loved ones? Jesus shared meals with people often, creating a safe and unhurried space for relationships. To eat together is to share trust and intimacy with your guest. Who can you invite for a meal this week, deepening your relationship in Jesus’ name?

When was the last time a conversation changed your life? Where were you in that moment? Conversations and connections can change how you see the world and other people. The Bible is full of stories of God using people around a table to spark conversation that leads people to Him! Gathering around a table can be relational, formational, and missional in sharing the Good News of Jesus! God wants to use you to help share his name! All it could take is gathering around a table!

Jesus is King! His name holds all power and authority. In his name, you can find freedom, healing, and joy unlike anything the world can offer. When you have a relationship with the King, you can call on his name to experience the gifts of the Kingdom. Read Colossians 1:15-23 this week to learn about the character and authority of King Jesus.

Have you ever slipped into a movie after it started and realized you don’t fully understand what’s going on? We sometimes charge through jobs, relationships, and even faith, only to stop and realize a vital piece of the story slipped past us. The believers in Ephesus had the same dilemma—John’s water baptism showed repentance, but only when Paul introduced Jesus’ baptism did the Spirit fill in the rest of the story (Acts 19). Where is Jesus inviting you to discover more about His truth? Let’s discover how Jesus, the Way, the Truth, and the Life, can bring the whole picture into focus for your life.

Ever felt disappointed when prayers for healing go unanswered? That question can shake trust and leave the heart aching. Yet God invites people to bring every hope and heartbreak to Him—even the ones that feel unanswered. As Psalm 34:18 reminds, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” There’s hope in His nearness, even in the waiting.

Ever been called by your full name and instantly knew something serious was going on? Names carry weight—especially the name of Jesus. God gives meaning to names, and through Jesus, He gives power to those who believe. In Acts 3:6, Peter says, “In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” Could the name of Jesus be what you need to stand up and walk into a new life?

Have you ever asked God, "Now what?" after a big moment of faith? You, me, and even Jesus' closest followers have been there (Acts 1:6-8). God meets those questions not with frustration but with power, purpose, and community. As we trust in His Spirit and His perfect timing, we step forward together. What's your next step today?
