Sermons from Canopy Church in Orange County, California

For this week's podcast, we sat down with two of our Table leaders and had a conversation about community. We share stories and insights about creating a culture of vulnerability and deep care. We hope you enjoy!

Welcome to our series on Canopy Church convictions. Our four anchoring convictions - Community, Presence, Formation, and Mission - are what guides our discipleship to Jesus as a church.What does it mean to be people of Community?A people of hospitality in a culture of polarization — creating spaces of welcome for strangers, neighbors, and friends.A people of integrity in a culture of hiddenness — practicing truth-telling, honoring one another, and choosing to be known.A people of reconciliation in a culture of rupture — growing through conflict and practicing forgiveness that binds us together.

Since the earliest days of the Church, followers of Jesus have been shaped by the word. Scripture is more than a historical record—it is a living encounter, where God's active presence speaks through written words to ground, challenge, and transform us.In this series, we'll deepen our commitment to reading, studying, meditating on, and surrendering to the Scriptures as we explore essential texts for our discipleship to Jesus. Together, we'll discover how God's word tethers us to life with Him—anchoring us in truth—while also drawing us forward into deeper intimacy and maturity in Christ.

We are so grateful to have a follow up conversation with Tammy Comer about Deliverance after she shared her story a few weeks ago. Bryan and Tammy talk in depth about the the freedom that comes when God delivers us from bondage, and the nuance of approaching it as followers of Jesus filled with the Spirit. We hope this conversation will be deeply informative and helpful!

This week we experienced some technical issues with the recording, so Pastor Bryan created a recap of his sermon. Join us as we continue in our series, Life in the Spirit.
