Canyon Ridge Christian Church

How do we become a present people?

Being present = Fully focusing your mind and attention on the here and now, instead of getting distracted by the past or future

Acknowledge our human limitations.

God = omnipresent

Humans = not omnipresent

But we try to be.

When in my week am I trying to be too many places at one time?

Arrive well.
Show up ready.

What will be required for me to arrive well to the places God is inviting me to show up?

Stay all the way through.

“Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.” —Simone Weil

What percentage of my calendar is spent running from place to place?

What percentage of my calendar is spent being fully present with those God has placed me alongside?

Acknowledge our human limitations.
Arrive well.
Stay all the way through.

In God’s presence
