In this episode of Canvas Conversations, Tim and Danny draw upon the story of Gideon. Gideon was an Old Testament warrior who lived during a dark time in Israel's history a time of hopelessness. In the midst of this, He encountered God. During this exchange, Gideon laid all of his fears and doubts at God's feet and God did not blink. God is not bothered by our fears and doubts and He is patient with us. Danny and Tim discuss how God is often more patient with us than we are with ourselves. 

Canvas Conversations

Patience and a pandemic

When Chaos surrounds us, we can't escape it if we want to. So how do we find peace, when we can't run from our problems? The good news is that we are not the only ones who experienced this predicament. Noah was on a boat with a bunch of animals in a rain storm. There was no where he could go. So how did Noah find His peace? You can find peace by internalizing God's promises in spite of your external circumstances. 

The voice that pierces darkness

As we wrap our conversation about the fruits of the Spirit, Danny and Tim talk about the  about the one change that we can make that will change everything.

The one thing that changes everything

What are we lacking today in our digital conversations. It is probably not content, it's gentleness. Scripture informs us that "A gentle answer turns away wrath." Not the right answer or the best content, but a gentle answer. In this episode, Tim Walk and Danny Guerena discuss how a conversation is approached is as or maybe even more important than what is talked about.

Gentleness... the antithesis of a Facebook comment

In this talk, Tim Walk shares how every miracle we will ever encounter in our life is preceded by gratitude.

Thanksgiving precedes the miracle

Remember Church camp? All the teenagers would get so excited about Jesus and living for Him but then Monday comes and nothing changes. This isn’t a teenage phenomenon but a human phenomenon. If we are not careful, we can hear what God wants us to do on Sunday, but our Monday is unaffected. That is why this month, we are focusing on 4 specific things we can do to bring God’s principles into our home. Join as we learn how God will Bless this Home.

Bless this house Pt. 2 Discipleship at home

Bless this home pt. 1 A house of rest

There are many cliche's in Christendom. One in particular is the will of God. Is there a specific will of God comprised of all the perfect choices for a person's life? Is there a path that we have to walk on, otherwise we will miss what God wants us to do? Find out as we look to Scripture and discover what it means to be "Walking with God."

The path is a person

When asked why was a man born blind, Jesus responds, "So God can be glorified." Essentially, Jesus responded to "Why is there suffering?" With so people can feel the reality of God. When people suffer, the church has an opportunity to reveal the love of God through acts of sacrifice and service. This is a huge responsibility, one that requires us to work together. But when we come together, we can serve more and reveal God's love to the world.

Better Together Pt. 4 Serve More Together

Have you ever wondered, "why church?" Why do we wake up on Sunday mornings and gather together for what we call "church"? Pastor Tim started studying the gatherings of Jesus and one of the things that becomes apparent is the pooling of resources. Together 5,000 people can be fed and together, an offering could be taken to help those in Jerusalem or land could be sold so that there were no one with needs within the church. Together, we can give more.

Better Together Pt.3 Giving More Together

Ever notice that you can forget to wash your hands at home, but if you ever see someone in a public restroom who doesn't wash their hands, you look at them with scorn? It's an interesting phenomenon, community creates accountability. All month long, Canvas Church will look at how community can affect us in positive ways and that community has the power to help us affect our community. Check out this week's episode as Heidi and Tim discusses how God used teams of people to reach others and the challenge of modern evangelism may have to do more about our approach than our message.

Better Together Pt. 2 We can reach more together

Ever notice that you can forget to wash your hands at home, but if you ever see someone in a public restroom who doesn't wash their hands, you look at them with scorn? It's an interesting phenomenon, community creates accountability. All month long, Canvas Church will look at how community can affect us in positive ways and that community has the power to help us affect our community.

Better Together Part 1 Be More Together

God created man, man created culture. Therefore, God sits outside of culture and judges it. So for four weeks, we looked at cultural values in light of Scripture to see what God has to say about them. This week, Heidi and Tim discuss the American value of autonomy and how that is assumed to mean freedom, yet we will see in Scripture, that is not necessarily what freedom means to God.

Christ and Culture pt.4 Autonomy

In this episode of Canvas Conversations, Heidi and Tim discuss Jesus teaching on forgiveness and confrontation.

Heidi and Tim talk about Luke 17

In this episode of Canvas Conversations, Heidi and Tim begin to discuss cultural values comparing them to what the Bible says and values. In this week's episode, Tim and Heidi discuss the cultural value of comfort. Indeed, comfort is something most of expect. We expect comfortable seats in movie theaters and on planes. We even expect comfort from our basic necessities such as food and clothes. The problem is when the value of comfort leaks into the church. Tim and Heidi discusses what happens when comfort becomes a value of the church and what Jesus has to say about comfort.
