Join us this weekend for RUF Sunday at Canyon Creek! We will have RUF campus ministers and staff from Berkeley, San Jose State, and Stanford leading the worship service. The campus pastor from Stanford will be preaching on Zechariah 3:1-5 and Christ's Clean Clothes.
How to Triumph over Evil
September 22, 2024 • Pastor Marty Scales • Romans 12:14–21
People, for all sorts of impulses and motivations abuse and harm other people. This is evil at work. This will not stop until Jesus finally triumphs over evil. But today the Lord calls us to "overcome evil with good"; one of his hardest instructions for us to follow. In Romans 12:14-21 Paul tutors us on how we might be able to triumph over evil by preparing for and implementing mercy. We can join our Lord in triumphing over evil.
Senior Sunday | Jesus and Identity
May 19, 2024 • Zakk Uhler • Matthew 7:24–27
This Sunday we celebrate our graduating seniors. These wonderful students will be participating in various parts of the worship service and our Family Ministry Director, Zakk Uhler, will be giving the sermon centered on interactions Jesus had during his earthly ministry. Join us for an amazing Sunday!
Our Appetite For Tooting Our Own Horn
January 7, 2024 • Pastor Marty Scales • Psalm 121:7–8
There are many hyphenated compound words that begin with "Self" and add an adjective (like self-centered or self-aggrandizing) or add a noun (like self-indulgence or self-promotion). The four examples used here as well as many other "Self" compound words are addressed by our verse from Proverbs today: "nor is it glorious to seek one's own glory."
King Josiah: Resolution and Reliance
December 31, 2023 • Zakk Uhler • 2 Kings 22
As we prepare for a new year, many people contemplate personal renewal through resolutions. In 2 Kings 22, a young boy named Josiah becomes a king, discovers the law of God for the first time, and brings about great spiritual reform for the nation of Israel. There are numerous beneficial lessons to learn from King Josiah that we can carry with us into 2024 as we contemplate our own personal reform.
