God builds His house by blessing the next generation. As people of God, we have to care deeply about those coming behind us. Today, we are reminded to tell them of God’s good deeds and to show them His grace.
Healing doesn’t happen alone. This week, we begin our teaching series, “Build the House,” with the reminder that God meets and restores people in their brokenness.
The cross reminds us that Christianity begins with a generous God. We wrap up our Wisdom City series and talk about the importance of being faithful workers who live open-handed.
We speak not to hear ourselves; we speak so others can hear the power of God. This week, Pastor Graham reminds us that there is power in our words.
Those closest to us are the people who snape us the most. We continue our Wisdom City series and discuss how the friendships we choose are leading us to Christ or away from Him.
The space between the event and your response is where wisdom lives. We look at two verses in Proverbs that show us how a wise person knows the difference between reacting and responding.
What captures your heart directs your path. In this practical teaching, Pastor Shannon gives us steps that will guide us in how to guard our hearts.
When life gets hard, we shouldn’t run from God’s will, but instead, we should embrace His will. Pastor Adam reads a familiar passage and encourages us to release control and trust God’s path for our lives.
Proverbs shows us the path of wisdom, but Jesus personifies wisdom. This week, we learn that wisdom is not merely a principle to follow but a Person to know!
The book of Proverbs can be framed around two roads: the way of wisdom and the way of foolishness. Pastor Shannon begins the series by reminding us that Proverbs points to Jesus, the One who is wisdom.
This week, we are invited to accept the invitation to go deeper and be fruitful, not only for our own benefit, but for the sake of the world.
There is an invitation for us to root ourselves deeply in the person and presence of our holy God. We spend time revisiting our “word” of the year and are invited to plant our roots deep.
Whose voice have you believed more— your past or your God? Greg Keylon asks us this question as we learn that labels are rooted in past moments, but they don’t have to define us.
Would your life look differently if you truly believed Christ is enough? We explore a passage of scripture written by Paul and see that true contentment comes from finding our identity in Christ.
Unchecked comparison can eventually cost you something. Like what? Your joy, your peace, your relationships, and even your calling. We look at Saul and David in the Old Testament and see how comparison impacted their story.
Where has comparison distracted you from the lane God has given you? We explore this question as Pastor Shannon challenges us to stop comparing our gifts, season, and calling to those of others.
Every failure is a stepping stone toward your next victory. Pastor Adam shares a word encouraging us to look to Jesus and to keep going despite the difficult situations we face.
Jesus saw through His suffering and noticed the pain of others. In this snapshot, we see Jesus selflessly taking care of others and are challenged to do the same.
Carrying the cross is not a burden; it’s our way of life. Pastor Graham shares another snapshot from Jesus’ journey to the cross, and we are challenged to pick up our own cross and follow Jesus.
Have we truly surrendered to Jesus, or have we reshaped Him into someone more comfortable? We take a look at Jesus’ trial in week 2 of “Snapshots.”

Prayer intensity is always a by-product of consistency. We wrap up the “Circle Maker” series and are challenged to continue in prayer for the promises of God, no matter how long it takes!
Desperate times call for desperation measures. We see in scripture that some prayers require persistence, and we are encouraged to not give up even when we don’t see tangible results.
When the numbers don’t add up, what do we do? We are encouraged this week to dream big and pray big because there is no limit to God’s power.
Can you spell out the promises, miracles, and dreams God has put into your heart? This week, we are challenged to identify, write down, and circle the promises that God has given us.

Jesus came for everyone! We continue in the Advent season with the reminder that Jesus died for all sinners, and those who believe and put their faith in Him receive His benefits.
The greatest gift ever given is God’s grace to humanity. We enter into the Advent season with the reminder that the greatest gift ever given cannot be earned.
Faith that is tested is faith that is strengthened. We wrap up our Daniel series with the reminder that God was with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fire, and He will be with us as we face trials and hardship too.
Even with threats and hardship, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego remained faithful to God and found their identity in Him! We look at Daniel 3 together and are encouraged to entrust our lives fully into God’s hands just as they did.
The mightiest man-made empires are temporary at best and will not last forever! We learn from the story of Daniel that when Christ returns, all earthly kingdoms will be destroyed so we must build our life upon the Rock, Jesus Christ.

This week, we look to the New Testament model of generosity and see we are not to give out of obligation, but proportionately, willingly, and cheerfully.
When our collective focus is vertical, our horizontal relationships are strengthened. Greg Keylon reminds us of the importance of unity in the church and urges us to be of one heart with one purpose.
If we are not careful, we can make church an activity to attend instead of a place for relationship. This week, we learn from scripture that the early church shared their lives with one another through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, and we should strive to do the same.
Seeking the “more of God” is many times connected to the power of the Holy Spirit showing up in your life in a more powerful way. This week, Pastor Shannon teaches us what scripture says about spiritual gifts and how when used properly, they edify the body.
We continue our series and see from the early church that devotion to prayer was and is essential in the believer’s life.
You cannot be devoted to Christ and stay committed to the world. Pastor Shannon teaches us that devotion to Christ is an act of worship and should be our highest aim.
We must be marked by prayer! Pastor Shannon wraps up our series in James and reminds us that prayer to the supernatural God should be our first response, not our last resort.

Elder, Jonathan Parker, explains the benefits of wisdom found in James 4, emphasizing the generous, gracious nature of the Lord when we approach Him with humility.
Is wisdom from above or wisdom from below leading your life? We dive further into James 3 and learn that wisdom from above always leads to blessing.
The power of speech is one of the greatest powers God has given us. We continue our series in James 3 and are reminded that the tongue is small but mighty, so we must seek wisdom from above to use it wisely.
True saving faith must lead us to action. This week, we are challenged to live out our faith, not only in word, but in action.
Elder, Greg Keylon, talks us through the beginning of James 2 and urges us to walk like Jesus by leaning on the side of mercy toward others.
Pastor Graham shares practical insight from James chapter 1 , encouraging us to slow down, be humble, and spread the Word of God with others.

The world, the flesh, and the devil are continually working against what Jesus has for us! This week, we are reminded to armor up and stand against the enemy’s schemes.
Hell—is it really real? Pastor Shannon explores what the Bible says about hell and the truth that Jesus has provided a pathway for us to be forgiven and spend eternity with Him.
Satan wants to convince us to do things that are not good for us, for others, or for the glory of God. This week, Pastor Shannon charges us to live watchful, spiritual lives so that we are aware of the enemy’s schemes.
Satan is evil and the enemy of all that good, yet he presents himself as the shining example of all that is right. We are encouraged to resist this villain and are reminded we are not alone in the fight.
We have a spiritual enemy. We begin our new series and are reminded that there is no need for us to fear him because through Christ, the villain is defeated!
How do we dethrone the idols of our souls? This week, we are encouraged to acknowledge the idols in our lives and surrender them to Jesus, our King.

What is it that you need to let go of in order to have a greater attachment to God? We begin this series with the invitation to give the things which burden us over to God’s hand.
Jesus did nothing for Himself, of Himself, or by Himself. We are encouraged by pastor Laurel to look to Jesus as the model for how we are to live our lives as we strive to give the Father glory in everything we do.
We look at Mary’s encounter with the angel in Luke 1 and are reminded that when we have faith in God’s purpose and plan, we can face the challenges of life with tenacity, determination, and resilience.

When a “such a time” encounter happens in our lives, how should we respond? Dr. Bill Effler invites us to embrace these moments and allow God to use them our lives to change us.

As people of God, we are called to holiness. In the last sermon of the “Rebuilding the Ruins” series, Pastor Mike Chapman shows us from Nehemiah 13 what this call meant for the people of that day and what it means for us today.
The people in Nehemiah 8 listened to Ezra read the word and rejoiced. Do we want that kind of hunger for God’s word? Pastor Shannon reminds us this week that with a hunger for God’s word comes renewal and great joy.
Despite everything coming against him, Nehemiah completed the wall and accomplished God’s plan. Listen as Pastor Shannon reads through Nehemiah chapters 5 and 6 and encourages us all stay committed to the cause.

Psalm 23 offers insight to the type of rest that is only found near the Shepherd. This week, Pastor Shannon reminds us that in seasons of stress, we need an awareness of the nearness of Jesus because He is the one who makes it possible for us to lie down, to rest, and to be content even in the midst of fear and trouble.
The question is not will you become exhausted; the question is will you have the right people surrounding you when you are exhausted? We take a look at a moment in King David’s life that shows us just how important it is to have the right friends during an exhausting season.

Community plays an important role in a believer’s spiritual formation. Pastor Shannon teaches us that it’s in communion with God that we find the call to community and are empowered to live with more compassion for others.
In week 2 of this series, Pastor Shannon outlines four words we need to consider when we think about giving: ownership, accountability, first, and reward. Listen and be encouraged to take a step toward generosity.
We are called to serve one another! Pastor Shannon invites everyone to take the next step at City by signing up to serve in one area of the church.
The ultimate call on our lives is to become Christlike. Pastor Shannon takes a closer look at our theme as a church this year, “Deeper Formation in Christ,” and reminds us that this type of formation happens from the center out.
Jesus is the True Vine. We wrap up the “I Am” series as Pastor Shannon talks about how Jesus is our life source.
In John 14, Jesus says He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. By making this claim, Jesus is inviting us on a path toward Himself. This week, Pastor Shannon extends the invitation for us to choose this particular path as all other paths will leave us empty.
Many times, we get stuck in our pasts or find ourselves longing for a better future. In week 5 of the “I Am” series, Jason reminds us that as the Resurrection and the Life, Jesus wants to untangle our past and give us hope in our present.
We often feel lost, alone, and scared, but we can be assured that Jesus is guiding, protecting, and providing for us in every moment. Listen and be encouraged to trust Jesus as the Good Shepherd in your everyday.
We are sheep! Jesus says in John 10 that He is the door of the sheep. Pastor Shannon takes a look at this statement from Jesus and explains what it says about who Jesus is and what it means for our lives.
We live in a dark world, but Jesus offers light to us if we will follow Him. Listen as Pastor Emeritus, Dr. Mike Chapman, brings both a convicting and encouraging word about Jesus as the Light of the world.
Every person on earth can be separated into one of two groups: those that know the satisfaction that Jesus brings and those who know nothing of it. In week 1 of “I Am,”
Pastor Shannon looks at Jesus’ statement that He is the Bread of Life and reminds us that it is only in Christ that we can find true soul fulfillment.
We spend time in reflection, repentance, and thankfulness as we take communion together as a body.

Who are you becoming? Every day, we are being shaped into something. In part 2 of “Become like Jesus,” Pastor Shannon talks about the intentional ways we can begin the journey toward deeper formation in Christ.
Who are you becoming? We are all being shaped daily into something whether we realize it or not. Listen to learn some of the ways we are unintentionally being formed every day into the people we are.
We must learn how to possess God’s presence right in the middle of the chaos of everyday life, and it will require intention and practice. This week, Pastor Shannon encourages us to “practice the presence,” so that our lives will begin to be shaped by Jesus.
What matters most in life is not what we do with our hands but what we allow Jesus to do in our hearts. This week, we are invited to begin the deep work of formation—a journey that can only be taken by following Jesus our Rabbi.
Pastor Shannon reminds us this week that nothing can separate us from this Christmas message: God is with us! Jesus stepped into our messy world and invited us into His world, so that we can Iive with peace.
Because Jesus is the Prince of Peace, we can have peace with God and peace within. To begin this series, Pastor Shannon invites us to embrace God’s peace this Christmas season.
We spend time in reflection, repentance, and thankfulness during this special communion-centered Advent service.
Are you constantly preoccupied with what you do not have, or have you learned to thank God for what you do have? In this sermon, we are challenged to have a grateful heart no matter the circumstances and reminded that a spirit of thanksgiving should be one of the most distinctive marks of followers of Jesus.
Embracing the gift of spiritual friendship as found in scripture makes much of God! In week 2 of “A Beautiful Way,” Pastor Shannon describes what spiritual friendship looks like and how it is designed to bring God glory in all things.
How much fruit do you want your spiritual life to bear? In week 1 of “A Beautiful Way,” we discuss how God uses spiritual pruning and find that if we want our lives to produce “much more fruit,” then we must be prepared for the pruning that will lead us there.
Many of us self protect because of the pain we have experienced. Guest speaker, counselor, and elder, Mark Carpenter, challenges us to move toward the chaos and mystery of life by believing we are fully loved and delighted in by God. It’s only then that we become who we were truly created to be.
Shame is a neurophysiological event that affects the entire body, and many of us are trapped by it. No matter how much shame is a part of your story, Jesus is offering you another way. Listen and be invited to take off the mask of shame and receive the living water Jesus provides.
We wear masks when we are afraid to show others who we truly are, but the masks we wear are built on false narratives created by the father of lies himself. In week 1 of this teaching series, we take a look at the mask of comparison and learn both what it does and how to combat it.
To wrap up the series, Dr. Bill Effler shows us some valuable lessons we can learn from this encounter between Peter and Jesus and provides a timely and encouraging word for the people of City Church and anyone who may be considering being a part of the community here.
Waiting in a storm is one of the hardest things we will do in this life, so it’s important to remember there is purpose in the storm. This week, Pastor Shannon reminds us that Jesus’ deepest desire for us in the storm is that we would become more like Him.
Without a doubt, you will experience storms in this life. While you can't control your circumstances, you can learn to control how you respond to them. When you see the wind, will you give into FEAR, or will you step out of the boat? Listen this week to learn what it means to have a resilient center in the middle of your storm.
How do we discern the call of God on our lives? In week 2 of this series, Pastor Shannon takes us back to a story in Exodus and provides practical teaching on how to recognize the call of God while encouraging us that when God calls us, He enables us to respond to the call.
In the gospel of Matthew, Peter had a choice. He could choose to stay in the boat where there was safety and comfort or he could step out in faith out onto the water. In this introduction sermon, Pastor Shannon asks the question, “What will you choose: the water or the boat?” Because right on the other side of fear and your comfort zone is deep satisfaction in Christ and growth.
When Jesus washed the disciples feet, He showed us what it looks like to serve, and He has commissioned us to serve others in the same way. As a church family, we accepted the call to serve by sponsoring over 100 children in Uganda. It was a special day as the children who chose us were revealed!
What happens when a child is empowered to speak into your life? World Vision Senior Advocate, Peter Mutabazi, shares his own story of empowerment and invites us to be a part of making a significant impact in Uganda by child sponsorship.
To continue this series, Pastor Shannon outlines five truths about joy from scripture while reminding us that God can and wants to fully restore joy in our lives despite the circumstances surrounding us.
Contentment isn't dependent upon our circumstances, but rather, it is a grace learned over time. Pastor Shannon introduces this series by inviting us to take a step toward true contentment.
When Jesus appeared to His disciples after the resurrection, the disciples’ response to Him made all the difference. Dr. Effler takes us on a journey through John 21 and teaches us what can happen when we hear an instruction from the Lord and respond appropriately.
When Jesus died on the cross, the story seemed to be over. How did Jesus respond in His final moments? What can we learn from His life about what to do in our own seasons of pain and confusion? We discover the answers in John 18-20. With Jesus, the story is never over!
The tension is growing for the disciples in John 12-17 as the narrative moves toward the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. Jesus offers some final words to the disciples in the midst of the uncertainty, and He offers this same help and encouragement to us all today; we can take heart because He has overcome the world!
We take a closer look at the resurrection of Lazarus and discover what moved Jesus to act and perform arguably one of His greatest miracles. As you listen, allow the God who weeps with you into your struggle. Your tears might just be the seedbed to your own greatest miracle.
This week, we look at the seven miracles of Jesus recorded in the gospel of John. Pastor Shannon explains to us the proper response in the middle of suffering and invites us to believe that Jesus is ready and willing to respond back with a miracle.
