Canyon Creek Presbyterian Church

Part 1 | Faith and Work

April 16, 2023 • Pastor Kevin Timmons • Genesis 3:17–19, Genesis 2:4–9, Genesis 2:15–17

This Sunday we are beginning a new series exploring the intersection of the Christian faith and the things we experience every day. The first sermon in this series will look at something we spend most of our waking hours doing: work. The redemptive story arc of Scripture answers many of the questions we have about work. What was God's original intention for work? Why is work so frustrating now? And is there any redemptive hope for our work in the future?

Part 2 | Faith and Authority

April 23, 2023 • Pastor Marty Scales • Matthew 8:1, Matthew 8:5–13

"I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith." Jesus said this massively affirming thing about a Gentile; a Centurion soldier who believed Jesus could heal his servant from afar by just commanding it. This Centurion knows and understands authority; he is under the authority of others and commands authority over his soldiers. Likewise, he believes something about Jesus that few others understood. He believes Jesus, the object of his faith, has the authority to command anything in heaven and earth.

Part 3 | Faith and Leisure

April 30, 2023 • Pastor Kevin Timmons • Exodus 20:8–11

"Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work..."God created work good. But work is not everything. We were also meant to stop working periodically and make space for leisure. During this break from work we are free to do things that bring rest to our souls. Take a nap. Play a game. Enjoy nature. But so often we struggle to protect time for leisure. And even when we do, we may find that our hearts are still working. Where can we find true rest? Where is the intersection of our faith with leisure?

Part 4 | Faith and Mental Health

May 7, 2023 • Pastor Travis Marsh • Romans 12:1–3

The escalating issue of mental health is a critical challenge facing our community. As we entered the pandemic, it was reported that 1 in 5 individuals grappled with mental health issues in various forms. It is vital for the church to acknowledge this pervasive problem and understand the role of the gospel in guiding us toward a mentally healthy community, while at the same time discovering genuine hope through the redemptive work of the cross.
