      <description><![CDATA[At CityLife, we are always shaping the culture of our church. Our goal is not simply to gather people on Sundays, but to form disciples who learn to see every part of life through the lens of following Jesus.<br/><br/>One of the most important parts of that culture is outreach. We believe that if we are not becoming more mission minded, caring deeply for the people in our lives and the city around us, then we are not being formed into the kind of people Jesus calls us to be.<br/><br/>That is why every time our calendar gives us a fifth Sunday, we dedicate it to a Missional Sunday, a chance to refocus our hearts on God's mission and our role in it.<br/><br/>In this sermon, we explore Acts 8:26 to 40, where the Holy Spirit orchestrates a divine encounter between Philip and an Ethiopian official. Through this powerful story, we discover what it looks like to be led by the Spirit, attentive to God's direction, and ready to share the hope of Jesus with others.<br/><br/>Join us as we learn how God still creates divine appointments today, and how we can be ready when He does.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The beginning of Ephesians 2, Paul continues the building important pillars of a believer’s faith. He contrasts what he shared about God’s character and reason for choosing us and adopting us as sons and daughters through Christ with the reality of our human condition without Him. Paul drives the reader to come to terms with what our life was like before salvation, which adds gravity to the saving grace of the Father. <br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Today we conclude a three part sermon series on the mockery that Jesus both endured at the cross and continues to take on today.<br/><br/>In Luke 24, Jesus walks with two disciples on the road to Emmaus and shows them from “Moses and all the Prophets” that the Christ would save through suffering.<br/><br/>In week one, we explored how the Old Testament foretold the mockery Jesus would face. Last week, we saw how the Resurrection became His vindication, yet the world still mocks Him today.<br/><br/>This week we turn to His return, when that mockery will end forever.<br/><br/>Join us as we walk through 2 Peter 3:8 to 15a and consider both the patience of God in this present moment and the coming day when our King will be fully revealed and never mocked again.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[What if the cross wasn’t a surprise but a promise?<br/><br/>In this message, we explore Psalm 22 and see how it prophetically reveals a suffering Savior centuries before Jesus was born. From the cry, “My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?” to the scenes of mockery, piercing, and public shame, this psalm shows that the cross was never accidental—Jesus wasn’t caught in tragedy; He was fulfilling a divine plan.<br/><br/>Yet Psalm 22 doesn’t end in suffering it moves toward victory. What begins in anguish rises into global worship, declaring that through His suffering, salvation would reach the nations. This message invites you to see the cross not just as a moment of pain, but as the promised path of redemption from the very beginning.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[ What happens when God’s people rediscover a hunger for Him?<br/><br/>In Nehemiah 8, a weary and rebuilding people gather simply to hear God’s Word. As Ezra reads, they begin to weep — not out of shame, but awakening. They realize who God is, who they are, and what their hearts have been missing.<br/><br/>This message explores the difference between religious activity and real pursuit, and invites us to ask an honest question: What do our hearts truly hunger for? Because when God awakens holy hunger, He restores joy, renews strength, and draws His people back to Himself.<br/><br/>If your faith has felt dry, distant, or routine, this message is an invitation to rediscover the beauty of hungering for God.<br/>]]></description>

These themes will shape how we live, lead, and grow together, helping us be intentional about our formation as disciples of Jesus in the year ahead.<br/><br/>Each week, leading up to our Family Meeting on January 25, we’ll unpack one formation theme and explore how it invites us to deeper faithfulness.<br/><br/>This week’s focus: Ambition. We are called to be people of great ambition.<br/><br/>What does it really mean to be ambitious with God so that we live the abundant life that Jesus told us about?<br/><br/>We’re glad you’re here.

In 1 Peter 2:9–12 we’re reminded who we are—and in that identity we join the long legacy of God walking with those who live as sojourners and exiles in this world.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This week we take a look at a central theme in Abraham’s life — God is the One who sees, and His followers are the ones who listen to His voice.<br/>Throughout Abraham’s story, we watch him — along with Sarah and even Hagar — learn what it means to be led by God’s voice. Each of them reveals something powerful about the God of the Bible: He is the One who sees us, knows us, and meets us right where we are.<br/><br/>Listen in and consider how God might be calling you to be led by His voice today.<br/>]]></description>

For two thousand years the church has celebrated Palm Sunday because on the Sunday before His resurrection Jesus was briefly worshiped for who He truly was, The King. Today, we join the global Church's chant as we also exalt Jesus as Our King. Today, we preach that Jesus is the better Jimmy Garoppolo (this reference will make sense soon, don't worry). He's the Prophesied King. He's the better Jehu. He's the Weeping King! Join us today as we worship our King!<br/>]]></description>

Like everything that Jesus did, these words are painfully beautiful to hear and should bring every reader to consider Easter's true meaning in Psalm 22. Why did Jesus shout these words? How do they communicate Easter's promise for all to hear? Let's find out.<br/>]]></description>

There is so much to say on the topic and even more questions to ask and so today we lay down the foundation for the series and begin where Scripture begins in Genesis 1 & 3. We are Sexual Beings. God made us this way and God said that it was very good. Lets begin to understand the Biblical worldview.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In this week's sermon we preach purpose! There is purpose in your soul and God made you to find it in him. God puts in every soul purpose and we connect with that purpose when we are in intimate relationship with him. So what if you don't know what your purpose is? How can you find it? What if your already a Christian and you haven't experienced this claim? Psalm 127 helps us to know. Let us discuss what to Build and what to Watch over in your life so that you can find your purpose.<br/>]]></description>

      <itunes:summary><![CDATA[In this week's sermon we preach purpose! There is purpose in your soul and God made you to find it in him. God puts in every soul purpose and we connect with that purpose when we are in intimate relationship with him. So what if you don't know what your purpose is? How can you find it? What if your already a Christian and you haven't experienced this claim? Psalm 127 helps us to know. Let us discuss what to Build and what to Watch over in your life so that you can find your purpose.<br/>]]></itunes:summary>

      <description><![CDATA[In this week's sermon we look at Juneteenth and ask ourselves, what does a good citizen look like? How does a citizen of heaven live like in this life? What does it mean when Philippians 3:20 calls us citizens of heaven? During Israel's exile in Babylon God taught his people two qualities of what kingdom citizenship looks like. Our call includes being... A Good Citizen (Jer 29) and at times Subversive (Daniel 3). Let's hear more about this.<br/>]]></description>

In just one verse we learn that God is our hope...He fills us with joy and peace...He meets our believing in him...and somehow all of this happens in intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit. A lot to cover in just one verse but somehow it works beautifully.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In this week's sermon series we continue in our Sexuality Series as we look at the totality of the Christian's call when it comes to understanding scripture and Same Sex relationships. We read about what the Biblical worldview is and how that same worldview says that all people carry His Image and are so loved and called by Him. Though Scripture only offers prohibition to same sex relationships it also outlines all people's value and call to find a home in His church. Let's hear about how we are called to love all people as we navigate this sensitive topic that touches the hearts of us all.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In this week's sermon (second sermon in the Sexuality: Know and Be Known by the way) we look to Jesus so we can see how He personally cared for the sexually broken.

      <description><![CDATA[This week, Pastor Pedro introduces CityLife's overarching themes for 2022: Invitation, Disciple Making and Deeper Life, and our first sermon series of the year entitled, Open Table. In this series, we will look at Luke’s unique account of Jesus’s meals, who He ate with, what was discussed, and how people treated Him. Perhaps most importantly, we look at who left the table satisfied.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This week's sermon continues our Open Table series by taking a closer look at Jesus’s first meal in Luke. After He publicly calls a Tax Collector to follow Him and that Tax Collector actually says “Yes”, we question whether Jesus called the “wrong one”. When Jesus then attends a whole feast with other "wrong ones”, is it all that surprising that the “religious” are repulsed by this? Pastor Pedro illuminates which people around this particular table Jesus knew were in need of a doctor. Hint: it’s not the ”healthy”.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This week’s sermon compares the stories of two men - Adam and Jesus, called the Second Adam - and the two trees they left as legacies. We explore how Scripture compares and contrasts how Adam changed the course of human history and then how Jesus reverses it. Pastor Pedro teaches that though Adam’s experience with a certain tree may have given us the knowledge of good and evil, Jesus’s Cross reconnects us to the Tree of Life.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In this week's sermon we see an awkward meal between Jesus and the Pharisees. The Pharisees once again demonstrate that they do not care to know God and they receive a few Woes from Jesus. They have built so many walls around God's holiness that they have no idea how to get back to Him. They are unmarked graves pointing people towards death even though they look so good from the outside. Let us see what the Bible says is the cure against being like the Pharisees.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This week, we turn our attention to one of Jesus’s face to face encounters with someone who knew they were broken. In Luke 7, Jesus accepts a pharisee’s invitation to feast with those who would later kill Him. But when an unnamed, uninvited woman interrupts the meal, we witness one of Jesus’s most beautiful teachable moments. Though most would have averted their eyes from someone so undignified, with one loving gaze, Jesus restores this woman’s dignity, forgives her sin, and sends her off in peace, all while serving the others around the table their “just deserts”. Humble pie, anyone?<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In this week's sermon we look at how God's Kingdom is built on Generosity and how it utterly conflicts with our world's economy of Scarcity and Poverty. Somehow God is able to provide for all because everything that He does is an act of generosity that we cannot fully explain. You don't have to be scared of God's ability to provide, He can do it. You don't have to always provide for yourself, He will care for you. You don't have to fight for whats yours, He already has it. God can and will provide!<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In this week's sermon we continue our Open Table series as we look at how Jesus redefines the true meaning of the Passover Meal. Jesus is the sacrificial lamb that this world needs and he takes center stage as he's eagerly waited to share this meal. With the cross and the resurrection this meal becomes one that saves the entire world. Let us see how.<br/>]]></description>

Zacchaeus is known to be short but this story isn't about his physical height but his small social standing. Somehow Jesus was able to find the loneliest person in Jericho and when he invited himself over for a meal repentance came to this small man's life.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[We begin 2022 by taking an honest look at ourselves and find we are no different than the people in the story of Babel. Though we proudly believe otherwise, humanity's condition is remarkably unchanged since the Genesis 11 story. Don’t we still strive for the same self-made importance and security and try build up our own names? Let’s rediscover how the way of Jesus enables us to understand one another again. <br/>]]></description>

Instead, this week we take an honest look at life to be remembered that it is fragile and that God's invitation is offered to all. God's economy is fundamentally built on generosity and it is through God's generosity that anyone can be saved.

      <description><![CDATA[This week, we look at what it means to be persecuted. If Our Beatitudes describe a person satisfied in Christ, why “in God’s Name” then are we called to have a healthy relationship with persecution? What does it mean to be persecuted for righteousness’ sake rather than for being a jerk? What does it mean to be a beatific sufferer? Short answer: we’re called to know Christ in both His joy and burden.<br/>]]></description>

The end result of being a beatific follower of Christ is a call to rejoice, even in the face of persecution.

      <description><![CDATA[This week's sermon places those who are reviled, persecuted, and spoken evil against on Jesus’s account are at the center of His blessing. Pastor Pedro breaks down what it means to be on Jesus’s account, why His blessing accompanies this hardship, and why Jesus preaches directly to us His followers. When Jesus calls us to be “beatific followers”, He calls us into the practices AND the promises.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[* At the start of Advent, we look at how Jesus’s birth marked the arrival of perfect hope in the world. Pastor Pedro reminds us that Christmas is a wildly audacious claim. The notion that God came down and put on humanity is counterintuitive, to say the least, but on top of that Christmas is the claim that through “a baby born in Bethlehem” hope perfectly entered the world. What does perfect hope rooted in the person of Jesus actually look like lived out?<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[CityLife Oversight Team Member, Carla Calderon shares with us one of the most interesting stories in the Bible: when Jacob wrestles with God. She reminds us that at the end of that encounter, Jacob’s relationship with the Lord was strengthened and he was finally able to refer to God as his own God, not just the God of his forefathers. God had always been present in Jacob’s life, but it was only in this intense face to face experience that Jacob finally acquiesced to God, allowing God the space He deserved in Jacob’s life. Are you willing to yield the inner most parts of your soul to go deeper with the Lord?<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[For the next chapter of Moses’s story, we turn to Exodus 3 and 4 where God uses a burning bush to invite Moses into a profound conversational relationship with Him, a transformation from whom he’s always thought he was into whom God’s always known him to be, and an extraordinary calling. Pastor Ryan shares how God uses ridiculous spectacles - like wacky, waving, inflatable, arm-flailing tube men - that command our undivided attention, to invite us to deep relationship with Him and the extraordinary calling He has for us. Will you choose to pay attention?<br/>]]></description>

This raises some important questions such as, “What is mercy?”, “How is it unique from other loving characteristics?”, ”How do we become a merciful people?”, “How is mercy a perfect combination of need and relief?”, and “If acts of mercy never materialize in our lives, are we truly merciful?” Jesus teaches about mercy and how to become the merciful community we have been called to be. <br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Our Missional Communities have been learning more about the person of the Holy Spirit and what His role is as part of the Holy Trinity. Today we look to explore what life looks like when we are filled by the Holy Spirit's presence. We turn back to Ephesians 5:15-18 to help us further understand two aspects of living life with the Spirit: what Biblical Wisdom looks like and what a relationship with Him looks like. <br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In this week's passage, Paul once again upends the way that we look at ourselves and how we are called to live as followers of Christ. We are no longer darkness but have been made to BE God's light. We are called to "evidence" our faith in Jesus by the way we live. Followers of Christ are called to be visible not hidden; to live in openness not in secret. Let's explore how this might be possible together.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This week, we conclude our two part sermon on the Christian's call to live a "Visible Life." Paul’s letter to the Ephesians teaches followers of Christ that life IN CHRIST is lived out in the open because we now have the power and presence of the Holy Spirit available to us. Pastor Pedro challenges us to allow the Holy Spirit to confront us and call us out on the visibility and integrity of the lives we live in Christ consistently as we bring this third section of our Mystery series, we've been calling New Measures, to a close.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This week, we continue our New Relationship section with Paul reminding us that our enemy is anyone who opposes God and his Kingdom, i.e. the 'rulers', 'authorities', 'cosmic powers', and 'spiritual forces' of this earthly kingdom. Let’s hear what Paul has to say about our spiritual struggle and how we have been taught to STAND. With the first part of a two part sermon on God's Armor, Pastor Pedro directs our attention to the spiritual fight we find ourselves in and the true nature of our adversary.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This week’s sermon brings our two part Mother's Day & Father's Day message to a close. Pastor Pedro elaborates on the idea that the God of the Bible is a God who provides true care for our souls. God knows our exact emotional, physical, and spiritual state at any given moment and, if we allow Him to, He will bind up every one of our wounds. In 1 Kings 19, we witness how God allows Elijah to rest and then gives Him righteous instructions. In Elijah’s story, we encounter God, who is able to, not only give us rest but, empower us for His mission at the same time. <br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This week, Jesus’s and #OurBeatitudes shine the spotlight on those who never really get spotlighted, the Meek. Pastor Pedro asserts that meekness may be the strongest of the Christian character qualities, yet it is most often incorrectly correlated to weakness. How is it that meekness becomes strength in Jesus? How is it that Jesus changed the world with meekness? Why does Jesus call His mature followers to be meek? We ponder this as we try to understand the Kingdom blessing behind meekness.<br/>]]></description>

Pastor Ryan walks us through the kind of mourning that promises to bring us the true comfort of God and the idea that enduring the pain of confession and repentance is much like learning to ride a bike without training wheels. In the same way that satisfaction and freedom in riding a bicycle comes only after pushing through the pain of falling down, satisfaction and freedom in Christ comes only after we confess and repent over sin.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This week, we look at the last relationship Paul explicitly addresses: Slaves and Masters. In his address, Paul urges slaves to be Christ-centered in everything they do and gives a short but powerful reminder to slave owners of their commitment to follow Christ in everything too, because Jesus is the only Master and we are all equal before His Cross. Paul’s letter to Philemon gives even greater perspective on how we are to exchange the bonds of slavery for the bonds of Koinania Family.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This week, we begin our final section of Ephesians, New Relationships. If I am a new being, part of God's new society, and producing evidence of change in my life, then I allow God to redeem every one of my human relationships. Paul starts with the closest human relationship, calling wives and husbands to mutual submission, because God created marriage to be the safest and most self-giving relationship. Let’s strip away the cultural ideas of what marriage isn’t and turn to Scripture to teach us what this relationship could and should be.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This week, we begin our very new “Our Beatitudes” sermon series on Jesus’s most famous sermon, the Sermon on the Mount. We explore the “why” behind the way He began His sermon. Pastor Pedro gives us an overview of what we will study in this series: what Jesus means when He calls us “blessed”, what a deeply satisfied life in God's Kingdom looks like; what matters most and what brings true life; how the Church is called to stand counter-culturally; and how we can add these qualities to our character. Dive into these great questions and more with us!<br/>]]></description>

In Ephesians 4, Paul urges believers in Asia Minor to cast off their old ways of life and to prepare for a new way of walking. The Armor of God is part of the new way that God instructs us to adopt. It will change everything about the way we walk when we are faithful to put it on. <br/>]]></description>

Before we hastily turn the calendar page, hoping for everything to be magically fixed, we stop and reflect on this difficult year and how God has seen us through it. Through a deep dive into John 21:25, Pastor Pedro reminds up that no matter what happens in life, Jesus is always greater and we can trust in Him, period. Let’s not rush into the New Year without resolving our lingering issues from 2020, so we can start 2021 in a healthy way. <br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In this year's Christmas sermon, Pastor Pedro shows us how in Jesus’s birth, God displays both His unmatched power and unmatched humility. In the Christmas event, our Creator directed all of Creation to spotlight the little town of Bethlehem, where He would condescend - literally, “come down to be with” - to the least of us, as the lowliest of these. In such a unique and difficult year, let us take comfort in the nearness of our Father, the King of Heaven, with us through the birth of His Son.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This week, we find Paul celebrating the Holy Spirit and the assurance we have in our salvation in Christ. He prays that the saints in Ephesus would learn and experience three things:  the hope of our calling, the riches of our glorious inheritance, and the immeasurable greatness of God's power through Jesus. Would that God's children know and live out of these three things, our lives would be transformed.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In week three of this year's Advent series we turn to Malachi one last time to be reminded that preparing for Jesus also means preparing for mission. The book of Malachi reminds us that the promised messenger is directly attached to God's mission. So while his coming is hope to many, it is also judgment to many. How can we be prepared to join the mission of God and continue to tell people about the joy that Christmas actually represents? <br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Pastor Pedro’s first sermon of last year looked at Abraham's life and how God would interface with His people. Continuing the trend this year, we look back even further to when Abraham was still Abram in Genesis 15. In this “early” chapter of His story, God sets the precedent for all those who belong to Him, by proving that He is trustworthy. Even through where He geographically places His people - between two wild and mighty rivers - God teaches us how to live out of unwavering trust in Him.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This week, Paul finally lets us in on what this mystery is all about! The "Mystery of Christ" is that ALL people are welcomed into God's family through Jesus. In other words, all the distinctions we hold tightly order to differentiate ourselves from others are meaningless in Christ. The "Mystery of Christ" is that Jesus’s Gospel transcends every boundary. Pastor Pedro breaks down what this really means for our lives. <br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This week, Pastor Ryan introduces the next portion of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians on “God’s New Society”. Here, Paul is encouraging Gentile Christians - who have been made to feel like outsiders by Jewish Christians - to claim their new identity as those who were once far off from God, but now are brought near by the blood of Christ. Likewise, the art of mosaic pottery mirrors how God breaks us all free from false senses of belonging in order to build us into His dream home here on Earth.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This week's sermon we’re reminded of how Christ loves His Church. Paul writes that Jesus’s incomprehensibly comprehensive commitment to us is beyond our understanding. Our response to this radical love is simply to grow; in maturity, in knowledge, and in love for our Savior. Paul encourages us with the revelation that one day we will be filled with all the fullness of Christ, and exhorts us to fall deeper and deeper in love with the one who gave everything for us, until that day comes. <br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This week marks the start of our first sermon series of 2021, our Mystery Series. This series will focus on Paul’s letter to the Ephesians and the concept of being IN CHRIST. Pastor Pedro notes that in the first two verses of Ephesians, everything Paul mentions comes from God and we’re introduced to a profound mystery: that we are in Christ. Join us as we dissect what scholars have called the “Queen of the Epistles” and learn what it means to live in Christ.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This week, Pastor Pedro gives us Paul’s definitive word on the significance of finding New Life In Christ. Paul tells of Jesus’s rescue and our new trajectory. We were once the “walking dead”, lost in our sins, but because of God's kindness we now walk out good works. How does this happen? How does God's kindness and grace save us? Two words. "But God."<br/>]]></description>

Peter reminds Jesus’s followers that we are a people of waiting and in these final instructions of this seasoned and tried companion of Christ, we find these enduring questions: How do we live as exiles and sojourners in this world? How do we remain loyal to God and subversive to the world when it tries to claim something that only God deserves?<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This week’s sermon, brought to us by Mykel Pollock, CityLife’s Pastoral Resident, asks the question, “What is the driving force in your life? Faith or fear?” In Matthew 14:22-33, Peter briefly walks on water towards Jesus, focused on His confidence in Christ. But as soon as his focus shifts to the circumstances, fear sets in and Peter starts to sink. How often do we do the very same thing immediately after seeing God do something miraculous in our own lives? We must come to realize that God chooses to exercise His power through us, in direct relationship to our confidence in what only He can do.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Pastor Pedro brings 2 Peter to a close by reflecting on the Giant Sequoia Trees in Yosemite National Park. Throughout the 1900s, those entrusted to care for the park were alarmed at the lack of new Giant Sequoias sprouting in the park. For decades they searched for a solution to no avail, until one day a forest fire taught them the value of heat in the growth and development of these enduring behemoths. How is it that fire can both bring destruction and life? It seems what Peter’s epistle has been telling us all along is that going through fire with God does not lead to destruction but new life.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This week’s sermon, brought to us by Mykel Pollock, CityLife’s Pastoral Resident, discusses lukewarm Christianity. In Revelation 3, Jesus writes to the church of Laodicea about being neither hot nor cold and a faith that was not reflective of His kingdom. We know Jesus did not leave them - nor us - in mediocre faith, but counseled them and promised that if they repented and turned back to Him, they would reign with Him forever. That same promise stands for us today and so we should and could do with some self-reflection and asking ourselves, “Are we living the life of a lukewarm Christian?”<br/>]]></description>

That same promise stands for us today and so we should and could do with some self-reflection and asking ourselves, “Are we living the life of a lukewarm Christian?”<br/>]]></itunes:summary>

      <description><![CDATA[This week, Peter reminds his disciples that truly divine teaching is epitomized in the life and example of Jesus. The apostle warns the Church that there will always be false teachers of the Word, who only care about profiting off of it. The contradictions of their self-serving heresies juxtaposed with Jesus’s self-sacrificial ministry show us just how dead wrong these false prophets are about God’s grace and mercy. Peter witnessed firsthand the radically upside-down nature of the Kingdom of God, when the King of Kings and Lord of Lords knelt down to wash a lowly fisherman’s feet, the night before the Messiah would give His life as a ransom for the World. What are some ways you are tempted to “self-serve” rather than to “self-sacrifice”? How are you being called to imitate Christ’s better teaching?<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This week’s sermon, brought to us by Ryan Dominguez, CityLife’s Creative Pastor, invites us into a conversation about worship. The global pandemics affecting our world have altered the ways we, as Christians in the Global North, have grown accustomed to worship today. Thus, we reflect on how God’s people have worshipped through the millennia to rediscover the kind of worship our God desires and ask ourselves, “What makes worship great? What makes worship whack? How does Jesus model for us how to make worship great again?”<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This week, we began reading 2 Peter and the apostle’s divinely inspired wisdom on legacy. Because he knows his time is limited, Peter intends to leave parting words with the faithful, which remind them of their Savior. Drawing their attention to Jesus’s legacy of love, Peter lays out how the Spirit empowers and commends believers to pursue virtues worthy of their calling. As we strive to deepen our souls and leave our own legacies of love, we would do well to do the same.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This week, guest preacher John Soper, highlights the obedience displayed by Ananias, an ordinary follower of Christ. Commanded by God to visit Saul, the persecutor of Christ's followers, in order that he regain his sight, Ananias is faced with the challenge of forgiving his oppressor. It's in this obedience to the Word of God that we see the extraordinary power of the Holy Spirit to free Ananias from bitterness, Saul from blindness, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ by way of the apostle Paul's writings and ministry to begin to reach the ends of the Earth. How is He calling you to obedience to His Word today? How might obedience in the ordinary make room for God's extraordinary power to be displayed?<br/>]]></description>

In this sermon, we discuss Peter's letters to persecuted Christians and the radical call to steadfast faith in Jesus and fellow believers. Peter’s epistles raise some powerful questions about how we are called to keep our faith in such a painful world. How do we continue to mature in Christ not only to endure suffering but to grow from, and become more like Jesus through, it? Do we really trust God enough to allow the Holy Spirit to transform us and make us into new beings? How does suffering produce something invaluable in us?<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In light of recent events and the underlying systemic issues laid bare, we interrupt our church's routine to take a moment to reflect. We take a look at how Jesus’s Gospel is also Good News to the oppressor. Jesus interrupts Saul's life in order to teach him how much he needed to suffer for Jesus’s sake. Jesus’s message is the only thing in our world that simultaneously speaks freedom to the oppressed and true humanity through repentance to the oppressor. Reading from Acts 9 we take a closer look at how Jesus turned Saul into Paul; from the least of the apostles into the chief of all sinners.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In this week's sermon, the Apostle Peter reminds us that though following Jesus comes with sacrifice and suffering, we have gained something far greater than what we might be losing. 1 Peter 4 is a powerful reminder that we are called to abide by Jesus in the face of suffering, and calls us to ask ourselves, “Do we live out of DEVOtion to Jesus or are we arrested by FOMO, lacking true conviction? Are we willing to allow God's fire to refine our souls and consecrate us into mature believers?”<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In this week's passage, Jesus shares the parable of some wicked tenants; the kind of people you would not want to be in business with. In this story, we find the owner of a great vineyard, who tries over and over to collect what is rightfully his and the wicked tenants who reject, scorn, and destroy every opportunity to honor their end of the deal. Though this is a sad parable, it also highlights God's relationship to his people. God lovingly reaches out time and time again and even gave His one and only Son to die on a cross, to call His people back to Himself, only to be rejected and scorn. How do we respond to God’s call? How do we say “Yes” to Jesus?<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This week, we continue our study of the Apostle Peter’s epistle and the call to live devoted to Christ, no matter the suffering we may face. In reminding us of our identity as sojourners and exiles in this life, we hear Peter’s pastoral heart exhorting, not only slaves and wives of unbelieving husbands to humbly obey the authorities above them, but for all believers to submit even to the point of suffering, out of reverence for, and for the glory of Christ. In light of his own sanctification journey, Peter endorses a fire-tested Christian witness, forged by enduring trials and persecution for the sake of the Gospel, over a fairweather Christianity, resulting from seasons of success and prosperity. In other words, because Christian “tourists” rarely persist long enough to see the fruit of perseverance, the Church must commit herself to suffering for and with Jesus, in order to truly mature in the fullness of Christ. <br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In light of recent events and the underlying systemic issues laid bare, we interrupt our church's routine to take a moment to reflect. We focus in on Zechariah 7:8-12 and find yet another call for God’s people to pursue justice and to show mercy, but this time specifically for the most vulnerable members of their community: “the widow, the fatherless, the sojourner, or the poor.” As we read on in the chapter, we find Israel inattentive, stubborn, and hard-hearted, eventually incurring the anger of God. The Church today is called in the same way to pursue justice and to show mercy to the most vulnerable in our community. In light of this, are we on track to suffer the same fate as Israel? How can we repent or change course to actively confront injustice and fight against it today?<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This week, our Pastoral Resident, Mykel Pollock taught on the parable of the unmerciful servant and how God expects us to treat people in light of how He has treated us. Much like the king’s servant, we are forgiven when we are repentant and are expected to extend forgiveness when our debtors ask us for the same. As Pastor Joseph Rowell writes, “We are never more like Satan than when we gossip and slander, and we are never more like Jesus than when we forgive and let it go.“ In light of this, we must ask ourselves, “Who is the Spirit of God calling us to forgive?” and “Who am I more like in my unforgiveness?”<br/>]]></description>

Pastor Pedro spends time breaking down the Greek to we flesh out just how intentional God is in repurposing suffering for His glory and our maturity.  <br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In light of recent events and the underlying systemic issues laid bare, we interrupt our routine to take a moment to reflect. In this passage, we observe Jesus’s indignation with the illegitimate use of the Lord’s House. We reflect on God’s righteous anger at injustice and how it compels Him to act and consequently make a way for true healing to take place. In response, we begin a new season as a church: a season marked by repentance for not proactively fighting against injustice in our midst and response with righteous indignation and active pursuit of Gospel Change in our society. We ask Jesus how He is calling us to be intolerant of injustice towards our black brothers and sisters and how He wants to bring healing through us to our city.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In this passage, the Pharisees try to trap Jesus using a law given to them by Moses around marriage and divorce.

Jesus's body was broken and His blood was poured out for His bride. How does this compare to the love we have for one another? For our spouses? For our families? For our neighbors?<br/>]]></description>
