Has grace stopped amazing you?
In the opening message of the Made Here series, Brad Kirby walks through Ephesians 2 to ask what it actually means to believe in Christ. This is the story of people who were spiritually dead being made alive by a God who is rich in mercy, and why the whole Christian life starts with what He has done for us, not what we do for Him. If following Jesus has started to feel routine, this is a reset worth pressing play on.

You already worship something. The only question is what.
In the final message of our Joshua: Legacy series, David Leventhal walks through Joshua's last words to Israel, a challenge to choose whom they will serve. The people say "yes" three times, and Joshua tells them the honest truth: on your own, you can't do it. This is a message about why sincerity runs out, and where lasting faithfulness actually comes from.

You can tell the story of your life, get every fact right, and still write God out of it.
In Joshua 24, God gathers a whole nation and retells their history with Himself at the center of every sentence. Brad Kirby walks through how God traces His grace all the way back to an idol-worshiping family, and why remembering that grace changes how you tell your story and how you live. It's an invitation to stop being the hero of your own story and see the One who was carrying it the whole time.

What would you say if these were your last words to the people you love most? Joshua is 110 years old, his journey nearly finished, and he gathers Israel's leaders for one final message. Brad Kirby unpacks why comfort can be more dangerous than conflict, why we forget the God who carried us the moment life gets easy, and what it actually takes to finish faithfully, not just start well.

Sometimes the deepest wounds come from your own side.
In Joshua 22, Israel wins every battle and then almost goes to war with its own brothers over something they heard but never understood. Brad Kirby walks through five safeguards that protect the unity of a family, a friendship, and a church. It is one of the most practical chapters you may have never noticed.

We become like whatever we spend our time looking at.
In Joshua 21, a chapter that reads like a list of forgotten towns, Josh Fortney shows how God scattered His people across every region so no one would ever be far from teaching, care, and a reminder to look at Him. It's an honest look at who God has already placed in your everyday life, and why God doesn't just rescue us once but chooses to live close.

In Joshua 20, God scattered six cities of refuge across the land so no one would ever be far from mercy. Brad Kirby walks through how those ancient cities point straight to Jesus, the One we run to when sin, shame, or suffering crushes us. It's a message about the legacy we leave: raising a generation whose first instinct is to run to Christ.

Most people skip Joshua 15–19. That might be a mistake.
Brad Kirby, Josh Fortney, and David Leventhal walk through five chapters that look like a county records office and turn out to be one of the most important moments in the entire Bible. A six-hundred-year-old promise finally comes true, a woman named Aksah models what bold prayer actually looks like, and a pattern of small compromises reveals how easily we settle for less than what God has given us. If you have ever wondered whether God cares about the details of your life, this conversation is worth your time.

At eighty-five, Caleb asked for the one piece of land everybody else was afraid of.
Forty-five years after God promised it to him, Caleb still wanted the hill country with the giants on it, and he was still strong enough to go take it. In this Father's Day message from Joshua 14, Josh Fortney digs into what it looks like to follow God with your whole heart over the long haul, and why finishing strong has less to do with shortcuts than with simply showing up, day after day. If you're in a long season of waiting, this one is for you.

The land got handed out before the war was even over.
In Joshua 13 and 14, an old leader stands in front of an unfinished map, and God tells him to start giving the inheritance away anyway. David Leventhal walks through what it means to receive your whole life as a gift instead of a trophy, why the things you leave undone tend to get handed down, and how ordinary obedience becomes worship. It's a reminder that the gift is good, but the Giver is always better.

God doesn't make empty promises. But what happens when the battle is long and the opposition looks overwhelming? In Joshua 11–12, Brad Kirby walks through the final stages of Israel's conquest: an army gathered like sand on a seashore, a campaign that stretched on far longer than expected, and a list of thirty-one victories that doubles as a testimony of God's faithfulness. Whether you're fighting something that feels bigger than you or you just need to remember how many times God has already come through, this message is for you.

In Joshua 10, five defeated kings are hiding in a cave while Joshua tells his army to keep moving. In this message, Brad Kirby unpacks what God calls His people to do with a victory He's already secured: not coast, not strive, but move forward in courageous, full obedience — and then return to rest in the One who won it. Whether apathy or anxious striving has a grip on you, this message has something to say.

Sometimes the most dangerous decision is the one that feels completely reasonable.
Five armies are closing in, and God is about to do something the Bible says had never happened before and has never happened since.
In Joshua 10:1-15, David Leventhal shows us that God does not wait for our circumstances to be clean before He shows up. He works in the middle of chaotic, compromised, trainwreck situations, and He fights for His people even when they helped create the mess they are in. Whether you are exhausted from marching on your own or you are ready to hear that the decisive work in your battles belongs to the Lord, this message is worth your time.

Sometimes the most dangerous decision is the one that feels completely reasonable.
In Joshua 9, Israel gets deceived and not because they stopped caring about God. They asked questions. They looked at the evidence. They did their due diligence. They just never asked God. Brad Kirby unpacks this ancient story and shows how spiritual carelessness rarely looks like rebellion. It looks like a practical decision made without prayer. Four lessons for anyone who wants to stop trusting only what they can see and start seeking the God who sees everything.

Right in the middle of a military campaign, Joshua stops everything for a worship ceremony. It sounds like terrible timing. It is actually the whole point.
In Joshua 8:30–35, Brad Kirby unpacks one of the most unexpected moments in the book of Joshua and shows why Israel's pause between two mountains has everything to say about how any of us sustain real victory in life. This message traces three movements: resting in God's grace, returning to God's Word, and walking in covenant obedience. If you have ever tried to sustain the Christian life on sheer willpower, this one is for you.

You can't undo a bad decision. But you can find out what God does with the people who make them.
In Joshua 8, after a humiliating defeat and the painful exposure of sin in the camp, Israel gets another shot at the city of Ai. This time everything changes. Joshua seeks God's instruction, the whole army follows His plan, and the victory is total. Josh Fortney walks through what it looks like to move from presumption to genuine dependence, and what happens when we actually trust that God's way is better than our own.

One man's hidden sin. An entire nation's defeat. And a God who says get up before the grief runs dry.
Brad Kirby, Josh Fortney, and David Leventhal sit down around the table with Joshua 7 in a candid, unscripted conversation. They work through Achan's sin and its ripple effect on the whole community, the overconfidence that crept in after Jericho, Joshua's raw lament, and what it actually looks like when God corrects the people he loves. If you have ever wondered why God takes sin so seriously, or what comes next after you have blown it, this conversation is worth your time.

The church was made to go, not just to gather.
On Inside Out Weekend, CityBridge met outside as one church before heading into the city to serve. Brad Kirby took the message back to the first Easter and to two words from Mark 16:7 that are easy to read right past: "and Peter." Those two words are a pep talk for anyone who has ever felt like they've blown it, and a rallying cry for a church ready to stop sitting comfortable inside.

Most of us want to see results before we trust. God asks for trust before we see results.
In Joshua 6, Israel faces the walls of Jericho, and God's strategy is to march in silence for seven days. Brad Kirby opens CityBridge's new Joshua: Mission series by tracing the three-part pattern at the heart of this chapter: God speaks His promises before anything visibly changes, His people walk in faithful obedience, and God wins a victory that leaves no question about who gets the credit. If you're in a season of faithful, unglamorous obedience with nothing to show for it yet, this message will anchor you.

You've probably asked God to be on your side. Joshua did too. It was the wrong question.
In Joshua 5:13–15, Joshua steps out toward the walls of Jericho and comes face to face with a stranger who has a sword already drawn. The question he asks reveals something most of us do without noticing: we approach God expecting Him to get behind our plans and endorse what we've already decided. In this message, David Leventhal walks through one of the most important three verses in the book of Joshua and shows what it actually looks like to go from commanding general to servant, and why that shift changes everything about how we pray, how we make decisions, and how we follow God.

Most people know Easter happened. Not everyone knows what it means for them.
In this Easter Sunday message, Brad Kirby opens Ephesians 1 to unpack six extraordinary gifts that belong to every person who trusts Jesus: chosen before time began, adopted as family, accepted by grace, fully forgiven, heir to an eternal inheritance, and sealed by the Spirit of God himself. This isn't a message about what Jesus did from a distance. It's about who you are because he did it.

He prayed it three times. He knew exactly what was coming. And He went anyway.
In this Good Friday message from Matthew 26, Brad Kirby walks through the moments leading up to the cross: the last meal, the betrayal, the garden. He lands on the truth at the center of it all — Jesus went instead of us. Before you get to Sunday, sit with this one.

You can't reach a city you look exactly like.
In Joshua 5, Israel stands one step from the Promised Land, and instead of launching into battle, God stops everything. Before there can be mission, there must be identity. Brad Kirby walks through one of Scripture's most unexpected pauses to show why the difference Christ makes in us is not a barrier to engaging the world, but the whole point of it.

You're wired to forget. And God knows it.
In Joshua 4, Israel has just walked through the Jordan River on dry ground, and God tells them to stop and stack twelve stones before they take another step. Josh Fortney walks through why God commands His people to remember, how visible reminders spark the conversations that pass faith forward, and what it looks like when a community is shaped by what God has done rather than what they're afraid of next.

After forty years in the wilderness, Israel finally arrives at the edge of the Promised Land. But standing between them and God's promise is the Jordan River at flood stage.
Joshua 3 shows us how God leads His people when the future feels uncertain. Before the river stops, the priests must step into the water. Before the miracle appears, obedience comes first.
This message explores what happens when God leads His people: He leads into unfamiliar places, His presence goes before us, He calls us to consecration, faith takes the first step, and God makes a way where none exists.

Joshua 2 tells a surprising story about faith. While Israel prepares to enter the Promised Land, Joshua sends two spies into Jericho. Instead of focusing on military strategy, the chapter centers on a woman named Rahab who recognizes the power of Israel's God and risks everything to identify herself with Him.
Through Joshua's leadership and Rahab's response, we see what real faith looks like. Faith acts. Faith sees what others miss. Faith surrenders to God's mercy and obeys His Word.
This message reminds us that faith begins with grace and ultimately rests in the certainty that God keeps every promise He makes.

In Joshua 1:10–18, we see Joshua's first recorded act of leadership after the death of Moses. God had commanded him to arise and cross the Jordan. Joshua responds immediately, organizing the nation and preparing them for movement. Israel stood between promise and possession. We stand between commission and completion. Christ has spoken. The Spirit has been given. The mission is clear. The question is not clarity. The question is movement.

Joshua is stepping into impossible leadership. Moses is gone. The Promised Land stands ahead. And the command is clear: Be strong and courageous.
In Joshua 1:6–9, we see that courage isn't self-generated. It's grounded in promise, obedience, and presence. God doesn't motivate Joshua with hype. He anchors him in covenant faithfulness and calls him to meditate on the Word day and night.
This message reframes success, redefines prosperity, and reminds us that obedience, not comfort, is the path to mission.

The book of Joshua is not merely military history. It is theological history. It records real events in real places, but it tells them through the lens of covenant faithfulness and divine purpose.
Joshua picks up immediately after the death of Moses. Israel stands on the edge of the Promised Land. The Exodus generation has passed. A new leader rises. The promise given to Abraham centuries earlier now moves toward visible fulfillment.
This message explores:
- The genre of Joshua as theological history
- The historical transition from Moses to Joshua
- The Abrahamic and Mosaic Covenants
- The land as inheritance, not achievement
- The role of obedience in experiencing promise
- Rest that is real, but not yet ultimate
- God's presence as the foundation of courage
Joshua answers crucial questions for Israel:
Was the land earned? No. It was given. Did Israel succeed because of strength? No. Because of the Lord. What sustains the mission after a great leader dies? The covenant faithfulness of God
As we begin this journey, we are reminded that God prepares His people, sends His people, and establishes His people across generations. His purposes are not fragile. His promises are not temporary. His presence does not expire.
And that changes how we walk forward today.

Welcome to Vision Sunday!
This weekend is all about reminding ourselves of who we are as followers of Jesus, and clarifying what how we're going to grow as a church in our next season.
At CityBridge, our mission is simple and steady: calling all people to be fully devoted followers of Christ.
This weekend, we look at how Jesus forms disciples through a clear and life-giving discipleship pathway. We are called to believe in Christ, belong to His church, be equipped in His Word, and be engaged in His mission. These four movements shape who we are and guide where we are going as a church.
As we grow together in this next season, God is inviting us to equip the church and engage the city with the hope of the gospel. We're reminded that discipleship is not accidental. It is intentional, joyful, and shared.

Haggai 1 tells the story of God's people who love Him, believe in His mission, and yet allow delay and distraction to take over. In this message, we explore how obedience often stalls not because of rebellion, but because of misplaced priorities.
This message calls us to consider our ways, respond to God's Word, and trust His promise to be with us as we put Him first again.

As Vision Sunday approaches, it's easy to focus on plans, strategies, and goals. But before Jesus ever sends us out, He invites us to come close. In Matthew 11:25–30, Jesus does something surprising. He tells us exactly what His heart is like.
In this message, we explore why having eyes of faith is not enough on its own. We also need hearts shaped by the gentleness, humility, and compassion of Jesus. A church can have the right beliefs, the right mission, and the right activity, and still miss the heart of Christ.
You're invited to slow down, behold Jesus, and allow His heart to reshape how we love God, love people, and engage our city. Because how we live out the mission matters just as much as what the mission is.

Today we walk through Jonah 4, a chapter that forces us to wrestle with God's mercy, our comfort, and the mission we've been given. After Nineveh repents, Jonah is angry, depressed, and ready to quit. Why? Because God's compassion reached people Jonah didn't want to love. Through a plant, a worm, and a scorching wind, God exposes Jonah's heart and asks a question that still confronts us today: Should I not care about this city?
As we look ahead, we're reminded that God is not primarily interested in keeping us comfortable. He's committed to shaping us — and sending us — for the sake of people who need His grace. This message invites us to see our city through God's eyes and respond with obedience, courage, and love.

Standing on the edge of God's promise is exciting. It's also terrifying.
In Numbers 13, God's people stand at the doorstep of the Promised Land. The land is good. The promise is clear. But fear creeps in, and suddenly, giants look bigger than God. Ten spies focus on what they lack. Two of them remember who God is.
In this message, we explore how fear shapes our vision, how faith reframes reality, and why God's vision always calls for a decision before it calls for a plan. The difference between moving forward and shrinking back isn't the size of the obstacle—it's whether we include God in the equation.
As Vision Sunday approaches at CityBridge, this passage invites us to ask an honest question:
Will we be shaped by fear, or formed by faith?

The end of the year has a way of slowing us down. We look back. We take stock. We start asking questions that don't usually make it into our busy days.
In Psalm 90, Moses invites us to do exactly that. He reminds us that our days are limited, God is eternal, and wisdom begins when we learn to live with that perspective. This message explores what it means to number our days, take sin seriously, and anchor our lives in the goodness of God rather than the temporary things that so easily consume our time.
If you've ever wondered whether your life is being spent on what truly matters, Psalm 90 offers clarity, hope, and a path toward a life that is both measured and meaningful.

Merry Christmas CityBridge!
On Christmas Eve, we remember that God chose to meet us in humility. In Luke 2:8–16, the sign given to the shepherds was not power or spectacle, but a baby lying in a manger. This message walks through why that detail matters, what it reveals about God's heart, and how the manger points forward to the cross. Jesus did not wait for a clean world—He came near, on purpose, to bring hope to those in need.

Christmas looks good on the surface. Lights. Music. Traditions. Family.
But beneath all of that, Christmas still needs saving.
In this message from John 3:1–18, we look at why Jesus came and what His coming means for us. Jesus saves Christmas from death by bringing new life to those who cannot save themselves. And He saves Christmas from silence by sending rescued people to speak, share, and point others to Him.
Christmas is not about better effort or better traditions. It is about new life. And that life was never meant to stay quiet.

Christmas can feel familiar. Almost too familiar. We know the songs, the story, and the traditions. And if we're not careful, that familiarity can slowly turn into boredom.
In this message from Mark 6:1–6, we see Jesus return to His hometown and be dismissed by the very people who knew Him best. They weren't rejecting Him because He lacked power. They missed Him because they thought they already knew Him.
This message reminds us that Christmas doesn't lose its power because the story isn't true. It loses its power when we stop being amazed by it. Jesus came close. And He invites us to see Him again with fresh eyes, renewed wonder, and a heart that remembers why He came at all.

David Leventhal teaches from Matthew 13:44–46, where Jesus presents two parables that reveal the surpassing worth of the Kingdom of Heaven. In a cultural moment saturated with commercialism, Jesus calls us to see Him as the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl of Great Value—the One who brings true joy, identity, and freedom.
We explore why commercialism has such a strong pull, how these parables dismantle the lie of "not enough," and what it means to reorient our lives around Jesus. You'll also be equipped with reflection questions to help you slow down and behold Christ during the Christmas season.

This week, Josh Fortney teaches from Luke 2 and shows how Jesus enters our world with purpose, clarity, and hope. When life feels noisy or overwhelming, Christmas reminds us that God is not distant. He comes close. He comes into ordinary places and meets ordinary people with extraordinary grace.
If you've been longing for meaning or direction this season, the birth of Jesus gives you both.

This week, Brad Kirby walks through two powerful passages where Jesus meets three people who want to follow Him but keep offering polite delays. Their hearts are stirred, but their feet stay still. Jesus responds with clarity that following Him is not a part-time commitment. It is a whole-life movement that calls us forward with purpose, urgency, and focus.
If you have ever struggled with hesitation, excuses, or the fear of taking the next step, this message helps you see what it means to live your faith on the move, not just in theory.

Every road leads somewhere. Some feel easy at first but end in ruin, and some feel costly at the start but lead to life. In this week's Radical message, Brad Kirby teaches through Matthew 7:13–29 and shows how Jesus ends the Sermon on the Mount with a call to choose wisely. The narrow road, the healthy tree, the true disciple, and the firm foundation all point to one simple truth. Life with Jesus is the only road that lasts.
If you've ever wondered how to tell the real thing from the fake, or how to build a faith that stands when pressure hits, Jesus gives the answer right here. He is not offering suggestions. He is offering life.

This week, Brad Kirby teaches from Matthew 7:7–12, where Jesus invites us to stop striving and start trusting. Prayer isn't a transaction; it's an expression of love between a Father and His children.
When we ask, seek, and knock, we're not trying to get God's attention. We're responding to the God who already loves us. And in that space of dependence, we discover that the best gift isn't what He gives. It's who He is.

Judging others is easy. Seeing ourselves clearly? That's hard. In this week's Radical message, Josh Fortney walks through Matthew 7:1–6, where Jesus teaches us how to judge with humility, mercy, and wisdom.
Jesus doesn't tell us to stop using discernment. He calls us to check our motives, confront our own sin, and restore others gently. True judgment doesn't condemn — it helps people see clearly.
Whether you tend to be overly critical or overly cautious, this message shows how followers of Jesus can balance truth and grace in relationships that reflect His heart.

This week, we’re taking a one-week break from our Radical series for a one-off message from David Marvin called "The 10 Truths That Hold Up a Healthy Church."
In this message, David walks through ten biblical truths that form the foundation of a Christ-centered church. A healthy church is built on unity, humility, generosity, faithfulness, and love, all centered on the person and mission of Jesus Christ.
These truths remind us that the strength of the church is not in what we do but in who we follow. A church that stands on Jesus and lives out His Word becomes a light to the world around it.

Teacher: David Marvin. Happy Easter! 🎉 Today we celebrate the hope we have because of the empty tomb—Jesus is alive!
As we wrap up our Back to the Garden series, we turn to John 20 and the moment Mary Magdalene discovered the stone had been rolled away. What seemed like the end of the story became the beginning of new life. In that garden, the risen Jesus called Mary by name—and everything changed.
Because the tomb is empty, death has been defeated. Our lives no longer have to be marked by fear, shame, or hopelessness. We’ve been invited into God’s family, given a new identity, and sent with a message worth sharing: Jesus lives—and that changes everything.
Join us this Easter as David Marvin walks us through this powerful scene and reminds us that because Jesus rose, we can live with purpose, peace, and unshakable hope.

Teacher: Josh Fortney. Today, we kick off our Easter series, Back to the Garden, a new series that begins in Eden and leads us toward the cross and the empty tomb. In Genesis, we see the world as it was meant to be—marked by peace, purpose, and an unbroken relationship with God. But the moment sin entered the story, everything fractured. We feel that same brokenness today—in our relationships, in our work, in our world.
On Palm Sunday, we remember that Jesus didn’t come just to improve our lives—He came to restore what was lost. His journey into Jerusalem marked the beginning of restoration. This week, we’ll see how the ache we carry is actually a longing to return to the Garden—a longing that only Jesus can fulfill.
Join us as we look back at what we were made for, confront the reality of where we are, and look forward with hope to what Jesus came to restore.

Teacher: David Leventhal. Welcome, CityBridge Family! This morning, we’re diving into 1 Timothy 1:18-20, where Paul challenges Timothy to stand firm in his calling—to guard the gospel with unwavering faith and a clear conscience.

This passage reminds us that faith isn’t passive—it’s a battle. We are called to fight the good fight, holding tightly to the truth of the gospel. Just as Paul entrusted Timothy with this mission, we too have been entrusted with the gospel to live it out and pass it on.

Teacher: Kyle Kaigler. Welcome! We’re excited to continue our HOME series, focusing on building strong, God-centered marriages through Holiness, Oneness, and Missional Engagement (H.O.M.E.). This Sunday, Kyle dives into the transformative truth that "Marriage is Missional." God’s prayer for His people is oneness, and His plan is for us to be the church of Jesus Christ.

He reminds us that a believer’s marriage is designed to be a picture of the unity within the Trinity and the sacrificial love between Christ and the Church. Kyle challenges us to see marriage as more than a relationship—it’s a mission to reflect the gospel to our families, communities, and the world.

As we dive into Isaiah 8 and 9, we see the contrast between darkness and the promise of light. Isaiah paints a picture of despair and spiritual blindness as God's people face judgment for their rebellion. Yet, God promises a Messiah—a child who will embody hope, light, and salvation. This prophecy points to Jesus, the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. Through Him, we can anchor our hope not in fleeting desires but in a secure, eternal foundation. This week, let’s reignite our hope in Christ, celebrating His presence and anticipating His return.

Teacher: David Leventhal. Welcome to our final week in 1 Peter! This Sunday, David Leventhal will be taking us through 1 Peter 5, where Peter encourages the church to stand firm through suffering. He highlights the importance of faithful leadership, urging elders to shepherd the flock with humility and care while encouraging the younger members to support their leaders and cultivate humility toward one another.
Peter reminds believers to remain vigilant, recognizing that their enemy, the devil, seeks to devour. Peter also reassures them that their general has not abandoned the troops. The battle we are fighting as believers is temporary because Jesus Christ is coming back to deal once and for all with the evil and sin in this world.
In this series, we're focusing on the main theme of 1 Peter: As God's chosen people, believers are called to endure suffering with hope, following in the footsteps of Christ, trusting that their trials serve to sanctify them and prepare them for the glory to come.

Teacher: David Leventhal. Welcome! We're so glad you're here! This Sunday, David Leventhal will be walking us through 1 Peter 2:1-10 pointing us to the big idea that believers are called to grow in holiness & spiritual nourishment as we cling to our chosen status, while being shaped together as a community to proclaim the excellencies of God. David reminds us through scripture of who we were before we met Christ and that, without gratitude for what Christ has done on the cross, there is no desire in us to proclaim the excellencies of God. Let us be a church that grows in our desire to read the Word of God and tell of His glorious name.

He points us to Matthew 28:16-20, where Jesus commissions us to make disciples, highlighting that the mission of the church is about leaving our comfort and doing something for the Kingdom- not just hearers but also doers of the Word. Liberty shares with us what his church in Africa challenges with, that hinder them from being on a mission for Christ, challenging us to reflect on the challenges we are facing as a church today.

Teacher: Kyle Kaigler. This Sunday, Kyle Kaigler will guide us through 1 Peter 1:13-25, where we face the profound truth that, as believers, we live in the tension between two realities. We know a future is coming that we have yet to fully experience, but the choices we make today have a lasting impact on both our present life and our eternal destiny. In this passage, Peter offers wisdom on how to navigate this "in-between" time as strangers in a world awaiting Christ's return, reminding us that our decisions here and now hold eternal significance.
In this series, we're focusing on the main theme of 1 Peter: as God's chosen people, believers are called to endure suffering with hope, following in the footsteps of Christ, trusting that their trials serve to sanctify them and prepare them for the glory to come. Join us as we walk through 1 Peter verse by verse over the next eight weeks!

Teacher: Josh Fortney. Welcome! This Sunday, Josh Fortney takes us through 1 Peter 1:3-12, where Peter speaks to believers who were dispersed, facing persecution, and in need of encouragement.

As we explore 1 Peter, Josh helps us see what true faith looks like and how, as believers, we can endure suffering with the hope we've been given through Jesus Christ and where to fix our minds and hearts in the midst.

Teacher: Michael Craven. Welcome to part two of our Citizens of Heaven series! Today, we're focusing on what it means to live with a true biblical worldview in a changing world. A Christian worldview isn't optional—it's essential to our faith. Many believers today lack a full understanding of this, so we must reclaim the whole gospel story: Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Restoration. As image-bearers of God, we're called not just to believe, but to live out our faith by engaging with the world around us for God's glory.
We're reminded that the gospel is about more than personal salvation—it's about redeeming all of creation. Everything from politics to art is part of God's kingdom and should reflect His glory. Our role is to participate in this redemption, shaping culture under the rule of King Jesus, as we look ahead to the ultimate restoration of all things.

Teacher: David Leventhal. Welcome to Week Five of "Under the Sun: A Study on the Book of Ecclesiastes"! Today, David Leventhal presents the contrast found in Ecclesiastes 5 and 6 between the Teacher's pessimism and the true message of the book. The Teacher's pessimistic outlook is that life is meaningless & full of trouble, and The best thing you can do is try & enjoy what little you have. Then you die.

Join us as we are reminded that we can be free from the Teacher's pessimism and be encouraged by what scripture says to be true amid challenging times.

Teacher: Daniel Smith. This week, Daniel Smith presents us with a seemingly convicting question: is there anything we wouldn't joyfully lay down to follow Jesus? He delves into the narrative of the rich young ruler found in Mark 10:17-31—a story about a man who believed his good deeds made him "good" before God. However, Jesus didn't want his possessions or outward behavior; He wanted his heart. Daniel challenges us to fully surrender to Jesus, just as Jesus gave up all He had in heaven to become a servant on earth, fully surrendered to the Lord.

Teacher: David Marvin. We're in week two of our 'RELATE(ABLE)' series, we explore the vital topic of conflict resolution in relationships. Just as God reconciled with us, we are called to resolve conflicts in our lives. Conflict isn't inherently bad; it's an opportunity to grow, honor God, and strengthen relationships. We must recognize our part in conflicts, often stemming from selfishness, pride, or gossip, and own our role in resolving them. Jesus' teachings in Matthew 18 provide a clear path for resolving conflicts: address issues privately, involve others if needed, and seek reconciliation with humility and grace.
Every conflict offers us a perspective to maintain, a part to own, and a path to pursue peace. It's not about avoiding conflict but resolving it effectively to reflect God's character and nurture our relationships. As we navigate conflicts, let's seek God's wisdom, extend grace, and pursue peace, understanding that forgiveness is crucial in releasing the burden of offense and building stronger connections.
The passage also discusses the significance of sharing the gospel with outsiders, urging us to approach conversations with wisdom, grace, and a genuine desire to connect others with the love of Christ. Let's take steps to prioritize intimacy with Jesus through prayer and to actively seek opportunities to share the gospel with those around us!

Teacher: Josh Fortney. This week, Josh Fortney challenges us to consider how we respond to the new life we have in Christ, urging us to move beyond merely celebrating Easter and Christmas once a year to celebrating the new life we have in Jesus in the way we live daily. Drawing parallels to significant life transitions, such as welcoming a new child or starting a new job, Josh explores Acts 1 & 2 to address the question: "Now what?" the question the disciples had after the Holy Spirit fell upon them. He walks through practical ways believers can actively live out their faith after hearing the greatest news.

Teacher: David Marvin. Welcome to the first week of our "Good News" series! Today, David Marvin is reading through John 3:1-17, where we encounter the pivotal interaction between Jesus and Nicodemus. We trace Nicodemus's journey from confusion about how God's heart is for everyone and that everyone gets to God the same way, to truly comprehending what it means to be a follower of Jesus. We're reminded that the issue is not whether you behave; rather, have you trusted in Jesus as your Savior?
The passage also discusses the significance of sharing the gospel with outsiders, urging us to approach conversations with wisdom, grace, and a genuine desire to connect others with the love of Christ. Let's take steps to prioritize intimacy with Jesus through prayer and to actively seek opportunities to share the gospel with those around us!

Teacher: David Marvin. Welcome to the final week of our Colossians series! Today, we're diving into Colossians 4:7-18, exploring the redemptive story of Onesimus, a runaway slave who becomes a faithful servant. This narrative serves as a powerful reminder that we are called to be reconciled with God and others, emphasizing the truth that no past is more powerful than God's forgiveness. David Marvin challenged us to reflect on our relationships, prompting us to consider the question, "Is there someone we need to forgive?"

Teacher: Daniel Smith. Welcome to week eight of our Colossians series! This week we're in Colossians 3:18–4:1, and it's all about the "house rules" as followers of Christ. It's like a guidebook for living well. We're going to see how spouses, parents, and workers are supposed to live in light of being Christ-followers.
The main idea is that we should treat everyone with care and kindness, whether we're at home or work. The Bible says we should love each other and work hard, not just for rewards here on Earth, but to please God. So, let's remember to be kind and loving in everything we do, whether it's at home with our families or at work with our co-workers!

Teacher: Dan White. Ever find yourself wrestling with change? It's something we all grapple with throughout our lives. That's burning question — why can't I change? It's frustrating when the same old patterns keep showing up despite our best intentions.
It's week seven in our Colossians series, and this week, we see something powerful about our position in Christ and how it impacts our ability to change. If you're feeling stuck, maybe it's time to explore that deeper transformation together. Journey with us through this and discover the lasting change we're longing for.
True change, the kind that lasts, goes beyond just trying harder or making lists of rules. It's about a deeper transformation, one that comes from within, from our spiritual core.

The message concludes by highlighting hope for all people, symbolized by the Magi from the East, and connects the Christmas tree to the cross, symbolizing the profound hope brought through the Savior's sacrifice.

Teacher: Marvin Walker. Daniel and his friends, captured and taken to Babylon, faced a pivotal choice: to assimilate into the culture or stand firm in their faith. Despite potential consequences, Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the king's offerings, showing how small decisions impact greater victories.
This message from Marvin Walker explores how decisions determine our destiny, and the importance of standing through preparation, application, and dedication. The story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace shows that standing for faith may not always lead to immediate victory, but God can show up in unexpected ways. The ultimate message is a call to stand firm, stand out, and stand up for one's faith, as decisions will ultimately shape destiny.

Teacher: Kyle Kaigler. What would it look like where 100% of a church commits 100% of Time, Talent, and Treasure for God's purposes? This week, we're in 2 Corinthians 8:1-8, and we witness the Macedonian churches' overflowing generosity in severe affliction and poverty.
Recognizing a gap between God's standard and our generosity, today we look to take one small step. What will our story be? Planting churches, ensuring no child goes unadopted, becoming net exporters of leaders, and making disciples daily. There's no limit to what God can do through us as we continue to take steps towards being radically generous.

Teacher: David Marvin. Welcome to our Generous series! As we kick off, David Marvin walked through how Jesus taught about money, specifically how our lives are opportunities that can be filled with meaningful investments or spent acquiring material possessions. Jesus encourages us to prioritize investing in eternity and serving God rather than pursuing wealth for its own sake. Money, according to Jesus, reveals our perspective on eternity, our heart's condition, and who we ultimately serve.

Teacher: David Leventhal. In our last week of studying the book of Jonah, we see God's pursuit of the unlovable. David Leventhal highlights how Jonah's anger at God's mercy toward the Ninevites reflects our own struggles with forgiveness and judgment. The message also underscores the importance of seeing people as God sees them and challenges the audience to repent of any attitudes that hinder them from extending grace and mercy to others. Overall, we have room to grow in self-reflection, humility, and a deeper understanding of God's love and compassion.
1️⃣Jonah Saw the Lord's Character & Mercy in Action, and He Hated It. (Jonah 4:1–4)
- Jonah's anger over God's mercy and God's pursuit of the unlovable are central themes.
- Jonah's self-righteousness and hatred for the Assyrians become evident.
- Jonah acknowledges God's graciousness, but his anger questions God's mercy for the Assyrians.
2️⃣The Lord Saw Jonah's Elitism & Hatred, and He Loved Him Anyway. (Jonah 4:5–8)
- Jonah's object lesson illustrates God's pursuit of his hard-hearted prophet.
- The text uses details and nuances to emphasize God's appointments and the scorching east wind as a symbol of judgment.
- The change in titles for God, from "LORD" to "God," highlights the lesson's impact on Jonah.
3️⃣The Lord Saw the Ninevite Repentance, and He Showed Pity Because He Loved Them. (Jonah 4:9–11)
- Jonah's inability to see the lesson from the plant's demise reveals his hardness of heart.
- The Lord uses the plant to show Jonah how his anger over its loss contrasts with God's desire to show mercy to Nineveh.

Teacher: David Marvin. Welcome to week 3 of our Jonah series! This week we’re in Jonah 3, and we will see that confronting the reality of our own mortality can be a powerful force in life. In this video, we explore the book of Jonah and discover three key lessons about God and his message:
1️⃣ God Uses Broken People: Jonah, despite his past mistakes, is given a second chance by God, highlighting that God is a God of second chances. The message is that no one is beyond God's ability to redeem or rewrite their story.
2️⃣ God Uses People Who Share His Message: The text discusses how Jonah's message led to the repentance of an entire city. It emphasizes the importance of sharing uncomfortable truths, even when they challenge people to change.
3️⃣ God's Heart Is for All People: The message from Jonah's story shows that God's reflexive response is one of grace and mercy, even towards those who have done wrong. It highlights God's desire for all people to be saved and his work behind the scenes, preparing hearts for the message.

Teacher: Daniel Smith. We’re in week two of our Jonah series, and we explore the theme of repentance and restoration through the story of Jonah 2. Jonah's journey from running away to a desperate prayer in the belly of the fish reveals important lessons:
🙏 Point 1: God Listens to Desperate Prayers
- Jonah 2:3-6
- Whether it's our own doing or circumstances beyond our control, God hears and responds to the cries of desperate people.
🤲 Point 2: God Saves Those Who Call on Him
- Jonah 2:2,7-9; Jonah 1:5; Psalm 34:6; Romans 10:13
- We often turn to various sources for salvation, but Jonah's story shows the futility of relying on idols.
🔄 Point 3: Turning to God Means Turning from Sin
- Jonah 2:9
- Repentance involves leaving our own ways and following God's path, even if we find ourselves in dire situations.
🔄 Point 4: Our God Offers Second Chances
- Jonah 2:10, 3:1-3
- Just like Jonah's second chance, God's faithfulness remains unwavering, and He can use us for His purpose.
Watch this video to dive deeper into the remarkable lessons from Jonah's journey, reminding us of the power of desperate prayer and God's unchanging character. 🐋🙌 #Repentance #Restoration #Prayer #SecondChances

Teacher: David Marvin. How Far Will He Go to Bring You Back? In our first week in our Jonah series, we explore the story of Jonah and the lessons it teaches us about running from God. We realize that disobedience is the first step in running from God, leading to discipline and consequences. However, we also learn that God's love for runaways knows no bounds as He pursues us relentlessly. Ultimately, this message highlights the incredible love of God demonstrated through Jesus, who died for us while we were still sinners.

Teacher: Rob Barry. Welcome to week 3 of our 'On Brand' series, where we explore the timeless characteristics that define the church. ⛪ The key message here is that success as a Christ Follower is closely tied to being part of a spiritual training team – what we call community groups.
- We are created for community
- Our very nature reflects God's design for deep personal relationships.
- From the Garden of Eden to the present, community has been integral to our well-being.
- Benefits of community: Support, warmth, strength in unity (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12).
- We are called to community
- It's not optional; we're commanded to be in intentional relationships that motivate us to live for Jesus.
- Jesus modeled this during his ministry, and it's a team sport.
- God's Word, Spirit, and community are intertwined for growth.
- You are Changed by community
- Sanctification, the process of becoming more like Jesus, happens through your Christian community.
- It's like a marriage – you'll face challenges but grow through them.
- Community helps you distinguish between preferences and core doctrines.
- Application
- For non-members: Life change happens in circles, so get involved in a community.
- For members: Stay engaged, even when it gets tough. Bear with one another, forgive, and pray for each other.
- Seek guidance if needed; community is essential.
- Closing Thoughts
- We're not in this alone; God desires us to live in community.
- Your future success depends on who's with you – choose your community wisely.
Remember, community is "on brand" for followers of Jesus, and it's a vital part of your journey towards spiritual growth and success.

Teacher: David Marvin. Welcome to On Brand! We're kicking off the series by delving into the notion of embodying the "On Brand" identity as followers of Christ, in line with the church's vision and values. The aim of the series is to explore the application of these principles and objectives in believers' everyday lives. The term "On Brand" emphasizes five core values for the church: authenticity, Bible-based, community, discipleship, and engagement.
Central to the church's mission is the call to guide all individuals toward becoming committed disciples of Christ. The five core "On Brand" values encompass living authentically and transparently, placing faith in the authority of God's Word, fostering genuine community bonds, fostering disciple-making, and actively participating in the world as Christ's representatives. The series is designed to offer practical insights and real-world instances of how believers can embrace these values in their daily existence, fostering enduring and significant transformation in their communities. Being "On Brand" as Christ's followers entails embodying authenticity, rootedness in Scripture, active community involvement, dedicated disciple-making, and impactful worldly engagement for the sake of Christ's message.

Teacher: David Marvin. In this message, David Marvin explores the purpose and design of sex according to God's plan. Sex is meant to be an exclusive and protected gift to be enjoyed between one man and one woman in the context of marriage.
However, our culture has devalued sex, leading to pain and regret. We learn how sex has permanence and bonding power and how serving and sacrificing for our spouse leads to a deeper and more meaningful connection. Despite past mistakes, God's love and forgiveness offer hope and healing.

Teacher: David Marvin. It's week 3 of our Sex By Design series, and today we're diving into God's design of women. We're going to see the Scriptures elevate four qualities in women: they are reflectors of God's image, strong helpers, unique and distinct in their creation, and life-givers both biologically and spiritually.
The Scriptures encourage women to embrace their God-given value and purpose, even when societal norms may undervalue or misrepresent them. We're also going to see the importance of mothers in bringing forth life and nurturing the next generation, both physically and spiritually, echoing the sacrificial love of Christ.
This series, Sex By Design, will discuss how we have departed from the perfect God-given design for gender and sexuality. Parents of kids in Middle School and younger, we recommend that you use caution in letting your kids stream this series.

Teacher: David Marvin. This week we are discussing the importance of biblical masculinity and God's design for men. We're in the middle of an epidemic of fatherlessness, and it's all the more important to have a biblical vision for what God's man is supposed to be. David Marvin explores four truths from the creation account in Genesis, focusing on the need for men to courageously follow God's word. Jesus is presented as the ultimate model of biblical masculinity, and we also see the role of men in leading, loving, and protecting women. Lastly, God emphasizes men's responsibility to better God's world through raising godly children, excelling at work, and living for something beyond this world. We're calling men to be courageous, godly, and impactful in their lives and communities.

Teacher: David Marvin. We live in a time when culture changes fast and can often confuse people. From what are the distinctions and roles of men and women, to the purpose and role of marriage, to the gift of sex, we are going to study how the Bible clearly explains how God designs gender, marriage, and sex to lead to every person flourishing.

Teacher: Josh Wilhite. Continuing our In Living Color series, we find ourselves on a boat with Jesus in the middle of a raging storm. In Matthew 8:23-27, the disciples' problem was not the storm or God's apparent passivity but their fear and lack of faith. Similarly, we can find peace and connection with Christ in chaos and challenges by trusting in God's power and working in their lives.

Teacher: Daniel Smith. In this message, Daniel Smith, our Students Director, continues our In Living Color series as we get a glimpse into the true appearance of Jesus in Luke 9:28–36. In the Transfiguration of Jesus, we see Moses and Elijah affirm Jesus' identity as the Messiah. And we see the loving-kindness of God, who verifies Jesus as the one to trust and follows through on His promises. No matter what has happened to you in this life, there's always a seat on the bus for you to trust and know the loving-kindness of God.

Jeff Parker shares his personal story of redemption and urges others to embrace Jesus' offer of freedom and restoration. There is a transformative power of repentance and the potential for extraordinary change in one's life through Jesus.

Teacher: David Marvin. Happy Mother's Day! As we celebrate moms this Sunday, we took a look at one of the only moms referenced in our New Testament: Eunice, the mother of Timothy. What we see in Eunice's life is the love that she modeled, the lessons she taught, and the legacy that she left for her son. No matter what stage of life you're in or whether or not you have kids, we can all learn from how Eunice lived her life and the impact she had for Christ's kingdom.

Teacher: Jeff Parker. Discipline can be a harsh word. Some of us think of a hard coach or being sent to our room. But Godly discipline is a wonderful thing. Like a parent caring for their child, God disciplines those that he loves. He corrects, guides, trains, and leads his children in the way and path they should go. God's discipline is designed to help his children grow as they draw near to them.

Teacher: Josh Wilhite. We are all running a race called life. It is unique before you and has its joys and struggles along the path. So how do you run this race with endurance and finish well? As we jump back into the book of Hebrews, we see the primary pioneer and perfector of our faith running the race and empowering us to run as well. So let's look to Jesus, who has run his race and now running with us on our own.

Teacher: Rob Barry. He is Risen! Welcome to Easter Sunday as we celebrate the risen Lord Jesus. From the moment he rose, people responded differently to the reality of the resurrection. Some thought it was a crazy story, and others were just confused. But when people truly encounter the risen Lord, the only proper response is to be fully committed. He is risen. He is risen indeed. And that reality now impacts everything about us.

Teacher: David Gentiles. What motivated Jesus to endure the cross? What if I told you it was joy? For the joy set before Christ, he endured the cross. In complete obedience to the Father's will, Jesus suffered, died, and was buried. As he walked forward to the cross, Jesus looked beyond it to the joy of eternity with his Father and with his people. In his joy, we find out joy. Jesus endured his suffering so that he might joyfully join you in yours.

Teacher: David Marvin. What was on Jesus's mind when he entered Jerusalem? From the beginning to the end of passion week, Psalm 118 was on the soundtrack of Jesus's mind. It was sung when he rode in on the donkey and as he closed out the last supper. We think of what he thinks, and we see that Jesus entering Jerusalem was him declaring the steadfast love of the LORD has come for his people. He has come to them, and he has come to us this Palm Sunday.

As we close our Hebrews 11, we see the legacy and lineage of faith. As we cling to Christ, we become the faithful who carry the message of Christ forward and impact others in his name. You may have a strong legacy before you, or you may not. But in Christ, you can be the link between Jesus and your family, friends, and others as you impact the world for him.

Teacher: Kyle Kaigler. As we continue through the hall of fame of faith, we see "father Abraham," often called "The father of faith." But Abraham was more of the "Father of growing in faith." Faith is a journey of ups and downs, courage, and missteps. The life of Abraham shows what it looks like to have faith and grow in it on the journey with Jesus.

Teacher: Derek Mathews. Does your faith mark your life? Faith is not wishful thinking, but an assured conviction of things hoped for but not yet seen. Faith is the fundamental way we approach God and walk with God. This is because faith and trust are the bases of any good relationship. So let's walk by faith and not by sight until our faith becomes our sight.

Teacher: Derek Mathews. We are experts in creating rituals, checklists, and rules to make sure we are "ok" with God. Yet, as we live under those old systems, we are only left exhausted and reminded that we are not perfect and still in our sins. When Jesus came, something utterly different was offered. He has ushered in a new relationship as he sits supreme and invites us into an intimate relationship with him.

Teacher: Jeff Parker. You may have heard it said, "Don't be so heavenly-minded that you are no earthly good." That phrase is simply unbiblical. We are called to be so heavenly-minded that we deeply impact the world today. Those with their minds fixed on things above end up making the most of their lives. As we continue our series in Hebrews, we see how Jesus has entered the heavenly temple, how his sacrifice has eternal significance, and that his second coming is assured. When we think of these things, it changes how we live our lives today.

Teacher: Jeff Parker. We are in a middle of a section in Hebrews talking about how Jesus brings in the better covenant. A covenant is a binding promise between two parties. We are taking several weeks to walk through this all because there is SO MUCH that God is gifting us in this covenant. This week we get to celebrate the better inheritance we receive from God through his Son, Jesus Christ. This was purchased by his blood (i.e., his death and sacrifice). In his death, we receive an inheritance. In his resurrection, we receive.

Teacher: Derek Mathews. Where do you feel the most 'at home'? Where is that? What does that feel like? The Hebrews had a word for this, "Shalom." This word meant "the way it should be." The Hebrews felt most at home in the Temple of God. It was here that they were reminded of God's provision as they walked in God's presence. These were hints of heaven and shadows of something greater to come. In Christ, we do not just get the shadow, we get the full substance of the way it should be. This creates in us a longing now as we anticipate what is to come.

Teacher: Derek Mathews. When something new has come, the old becomes obsolete. The people of God were a part of an old system of how they viewed themselves, the world, and how they related to God. But something new has come in Christ. A new way of seeing God, yourself, and others. Sadly, we can drift back to our old ways before Christ. But something new has come. A new promise, a new system, a new covenant between God and man. When the new comes, the old becomes obsolete.

Teacher: Derek Mathews. Before we jump back into Hebrews, let's remember the heartbeat of Hebrews: don't drift away; draw near because Jesus is better. It can be easy to begin to drift, but drifting always leads to destruction in our lives. The pastor of Hebrews calls us to draw near to who Jesus is and what he has done because Jesus is simply better. When we focus on these two realities, who he is and what he has done, the only proper response to know and follow him with our lives. Welcome back to Hebrews. We are only halfway!

Teacher: Rob Barry. When was the last time you realized you needed to change? We are either moving towards Christlikeness or away from it. We do not get there by trying harder but by training faithfully. In 1 Timothy 4:6-16, we see the priority, plan, and progress of training for righteousness. So as we continue in the new year, let's train ourselves for Christlikeness.

When he comes the second time, He will come as a King in all his glory. As we continue our series, Rest in the Story, we look at the culmination of all things where God returns, renders judgment, reverses suffering, restores all things, and reigns forever. These are the gifts of the second Christmas that Jesus will give to all who wait for him.

Teacher: Jeff Parker. With the Incarnation, our story does not end in the Fall but continues with redemption. Redemption is a promise of freedom to those stuck in sin. It means to buy somebody out of slavery. That is what God has done for us. He has bought us out of slavery and set us free to live lives walking deeply with Him. The redeemed of the LORD declare their redemption and the redemption found in Christ.

So what would God do in the midst of our sin and rebellion against him? He would come to us, seeking us out, and pursuing us despite our sin-stained lives. If you ever wonder what God would do to you in your sin, look to the incarnation of Jesus Christ. God desires to be Emmanuel: God with us.

Wherever we go, and whatever we do, we need wisdom to guide and direct our lives. Regardless of the good or hard of a season, God's people wait on God's provision, promises, and purposes before moving forward. So as we gather as a church family, let's pray for us to walk faithfully in what God has made clear and trust in areas he hasn't.

Throughout the book of Hebrews, the pastor has shown us the wonders of God and the promises we can hold onto. But often, there is a gap between God's promises and fulfillment. In the between, we hold onto the trustworthiness of God, remember the examples that have gone before, and run to the presence of God through Jesus Christ.

Teacher: Derek Mathews. What happens when we become bored with God? This is the first sign of becoming dull towards the gospel and entering into spiritual immaturity. Like any good coach, teacher, or leader, the Pastor of Hebrews uses inspiration, instruction, and intensity to help his church body become all they were meant to be in Christ. Dullness leads to destruction and devastation. But there is something more in Christ. So let's press onto maturity because there is always more in Christ!

Teacher: Derek Mathews. Where do you find your rest? For many of us, we think rest is simply leisure or relaxation. But biblical rest is so much more. Rest is experiencing all God has for us, both now and forever. Those who walk in rest are embracing God's promises, enjoying God's presence, and experiencing God's peace. The offer for this rest is for today. It's not something you can earn, only something you can receive in Christ alone.

God is warning us not to disbelieve in the gospel of Christ but to draw near because Jesus is better.

Teacher: Jeff Parker. Jesus is better than Moses. Now for many of us, this doesn't feel like that big of a deal. But for the Hebrews, Moses was the greatest of all prophets and an example of faithfulness to God. For all the Moses is, Jesus is better. Moses had an assignment, and he was faithful as a servant. Jesus had an assignment, and he was faithful as a son. No matter your assignment, the call is to be faithful to the One who was faithful till the end.

Teacher: Jeff Parker. As we wrap up Hebrews 2, the pastor of Hebrews is giving us five amazing truths about Jesus that are possible thanks to Christ coming as a human, yet still being fully God. This passage shows us that we have a God that understands the human experience. Jesus got tired, He got hungry, and He was tempted to sin just like us. But He did not sin and took our payment for sin, so we no longer have to fear the cost of sin: death—what a good God.

Teacher: Kyle Kaigler. Hebrews 2:5–13 is a complicated passage, but the message is clear: Jesus is better because of His humanity. By entering our world as a human yet fully retaining His deity, He paves the way for humanity's salvation, he tasted death for everyone, and now Christ is not ashamed to call His Church "family."

Teacher: Jeff Parker. So far, in the book of Hebrews, our author has lifted up our eyes to see Jesus. Now, as we move into chapter 2, he looks us in the eye and emphatically says, "Don't drift away!" It is easy to drift. It is natural to drift. It is dangerous to drift. We can drift towards licentiousness or legalism, passivity or performance, rebellion or religion. God wants us to walk faithfully in a loving relationship with God. This takes a moment-by-moment, daily reminder of the goodness of Christ and the joy of following him. So don't drift away. Draw near.

Teacher: Derek Mathews. Jesus is the better messenger. He is the Son of God who fulfills the promises of God. He is the One who is worthy of worship and service. He is the eternal King and sits supreme over all. Jesus is BETTER. We are all tempted to drift back to lesser things. But when we truly see Jesus for who He is, we see God's primary message: He loves us. So draw near to Jesus because the better messenger has arrived.

Teacher: Derek Mathews. Jesus is better. He is better than anything you can compare him to and anything that has come before. Yet, as we look at our lives, we can drift away from the person and work of Jesus. The book of Hebrews shines a light on Jesus. In the opening paragraph, we see seven reasons why Jesus is better. As we see him for who he truly is, we find the joy and life we were made for. The message of Hebrews is simple: don't drift away, draw near, because Jesus is Better.

Teacher: Kyle Kaigler. How do we strengthen our faith? We seek the LORD. We often get stuck in our walk with Jesus. It may be because of ongoing sin, past wounds, getting content in our walk, or a bad view of God. Whatever it may be, the answer to how to continue to grow in your walk with the LORD is to seek the LORD. As we close our Psalm series, we look at Psalm 27 to see six tools for seeking God and strengthening our faith. The more we use the tools, the more we will see stories of God's grace and goodness in our lives and in the life of others.

Teacher: Jeff Parker. We are called to grieve but as those with hope. But how do we do that? Psalm 77 gives us a window into how a faithful follower of God lamented the sorrows and pain of this world. He entered into genuine questions while lifting his eyes to remember the promises of God. The way to trust God's character today and his future promises are to remember his former mercies. So when life feels overwhelming and God feels distant, tune into Psalm 77 and listen to the soundtrack of lament.

Teacher: Josh Wilhite. What are you afraid of? We live in a world where fear flies at us continually. What if there was a way to walk through fearful situations and experience peace and stability? In Psalm 46, we see that God is present and powerful in the midst of fear. When we trust this reality, though hard situations remain, we see God as huge and here to help. That makes all the difference.

Teacher: Chase Jones. As we continue our series through the Psalms, we have seen God's heart for humanity for his people to be blessed on his terms. Psalm 1 & 2 speaks on how we are to be blessed as we walk on the path towards and with God. Psalm 32, however, tells us what to do when we find ourselves off this blessed path. Confession is acknowledging that our path away from the LORD is sinful, while God's way with the LORD leads to life. Confession is not a beatdown but given to us by God to be a blessing. So let's courageously confess our sins before the LORD and celebrate his grace over us!

Teacher: Derek Mathews. What do you do when you see the chaos of our culture? In Psalm 2, the Psalmist looked up to the one truly in control over the chaos. When the world feels like it is bearing down on you, it is easy to be consumed by fear. Yet, in those moments, God calls us to look up, above the chaos, to Him. When we do, we can have confidence, compassion, and courage no matter the chaos around us.

Teacher: Derek Mathews. The Psalms give us words to our emotions and language to our prayers and praise. As we launch or Psalm series, we are tuning into the soundtrack of Jesus' life. The more we dwell on this playlist, the more it shapes how we think about God, ourselves, and others. Psalm 1 begins with the blessed man and the path he is on. All paths lead you somewhere, and the blessed man meditates and delights in God's word, will, and way.

Teacher: Andre Samson. Welcome to the Family Weekend! This week we brought the Kids ministry to the main stage and got a taste of what our kids experience each week. Songs, dancing, skits, and the gospel is presented. This week we talked through the key idea of responsibility by looking at the parable of the talents. Responsibility is simply doing what God has called you to do. God has given us different gifts (time, talents, and treasure) to steward for his glory. When we are responsible for what God has given us, it is for our good as we bring him glory.

Teacher: Kyle Kaigler. What do we do between now and the return of Christ? James tells us to be patient. Patient means "long-suffering." Then, Jesus will return, and we will give an account to him of how we stewarded our lives. So we look to the farmer, the prophets, and Christ to grow in our ability to suffer well as we wait for our salvation to come.

Teacher: Jeff Parker. If you want to know how you are doing in your walk with Jesus, take a quick look at how you spend your time and what you spend your money on. Planning and profits are not sins, but presumption is. When we omit God from our time and money, we fall into the self-focused sin of finding security in our plans and money. Putting God in the center allows us to walk in the freedom that God has for us.

Teacher: Rob Barry. "If my kids would just...", "If my spouse would just...", "If my boss would just..." When there is conflict, we naturally blame others. We think outside of ourselves and blame others. But what if the problem isn't outside of you but within you? What if you are the problem? In James 4, we see that the root of our conflicts is a selfish desire to be our little god. So if the problem is within us, then the answer must be something outside of us. God deeply loves his people and desires them to have life abundantly. We are the problem, but God is the solution. We humbly submit to his will and way as he offers his love and grace.

Teacher: Derek Mathews. Sticks and stones can break your bones, but words can build up or break down. Not quite the motto we were told growing up. But according to James (and our own experiences), words are immensely powerful. They can bring life and blessing to those around us or break down and destroy. How we use our words matters. But nobody can tame their tongue. We need something outside of us to transform what is within us so that what comes out of us are words of life.

Teacher: Jeff Parker. Martin Luther famously said, "Faith alone saves, but the faith that saves is never alone." As believers, our faith is shown by our good works in the LORD. This does not make us righteous before God, but it shows our righteousness before others. Faith without works is a dead faith, but a faith that gets to work blesses all those around you.

Teacher: Jeff Parker. It is human nature to show favoritism to those most like you or most likely to benefit you. This is the sin of partiality. It is inconsistent and unbalanced love. James will give us four warnings about partiality as we continue our series. Finally, he will end with an invitation to truly love the way God loves. So who in your life have you thought less of and need to love more? Move towards them this week with the impartial love of Christ!

Teacher: Derek Mathews. When was the last time you heard God's word and thought, "I have to go do that right now!?" Like a good dad, God desires us to not only hear what he has to say but actually do it. As we do God's word, it leads to freedom, blessing, and joy in this life. As we continue our series in the book of James, God will call us to not only receive his word but also respond to it. When we do, it transforms our lives as we love others in his name.

Teacher: Jeff Parker. All of us face trials of various kinds. Some of those trials come from the broken world we live in, and some come from our own brokenness. During trials, we are called to be steadfast in Jesus as we rely on him for wisdom. As trials come, temptation is soon to follow. When we remember the goodness of God, temptations and trials can become triumphs in our lives.

Teacher: Jeff Parker. Welcome to the book of James! James is known as the proverbs of the New Testament. James went from skeptic to servant to shepherd to sufferer. His whole life changed when he met the risen King Jesus. In this letter, James shows a picture of full devotion to Jesus. This is not a burden to win God's love, but the appropriate response and results of knowing God's love. This is the book of James.

Teacher: Derek Mathews. HE IS RISEN! Jesus is FULLY ALIVE. Because he is fully alive, we can be fully alive as well. As we celebrate his past victory over sin and death, we look forward to his future victory as well. His first victory over death was his own resurrection. His full and final victory over death is raising to life all who would believe in him. God has won the victory for you and wants his victory for you. This is why we sing and celebrate the risen King. He has won, and he will ultimately win again.

Teacher: Kyle Kaigler. What makes Jesus angry? Several times in the gospels, Jesus becomes angry. Yet, each time we see Jesus angry, it is always out of compassion for people. The compassion of Jesus leads to his anger over sin and always leads to action. When Jesus sees something hurting people, he always moves towards that hurt. When Jesus saw the ultimate thing hurting people, sin, he took our sin on himself. Our sin led to the death of Christ. As we sit in the darkness of our sin, the diamond of Jesus shines all the brighter.

Teacher: Derek Mathews. What do you think about when you think about heaven? Is it a sky palace or a New Creation? Many of us have false views in our minds when it comes to eternity. God's heart is to create a space where He and His people can dwell together forever. It is a life without death, sin, weakness, or end. You will have real experiences, with a real body, on a real earth with our resurrected Christ. The resurrected life is a life with God in which we will be full of joy, full of peace, full of love, and fully Alive.

Teacher: Derek Mathews. Would you say your faith is firm or fragile? Many of us have a firm foundation in Christ, but our faith can feel a lot more fragile when our beliefs get intellectually or situationally challenged. God wants you to have a firm foundation in who Jesus is and what he has done. He has rooted our faith in the historical reality of the resurrection of Christ. When we see this, we see just how important the resurrection of Christ is and just how much of an impact it has on everything in our lives. If Jesus hasn't risen, then nothing matters. If Jesus has risen, then nothing else matters. As we build our life on his firm foundation, we find the life we were made for.

Teacher: Derek Mathews. How does the Resurrection of Jesus impact your life? As we start our series, Fully Alive, we explore how to find life in the one who conquered the grave. This 4 part series zooms into one central passage of scripture: 1 Corinthians 15. This is the clearest and most concise theology that Paul gives to impact of the resurrection of Christ, both now and forever. In the first 11 verses, we see the purpose, the proof, and the power of the gospel message. God wants you to find life in him. That only comes by being fully alive in the one who conquered death.

Teacher: Josh Wilhite. Suffering is a part of life. It is easy to grow weary when hardships are all around you. Yet, hope is the anchor in the midst of suffering. Where do you find hope in the hardships of life? When we walk with Christ, we have a living hope, a proven hope, as we are called to have an active hope. No matter the trial, Christ can take hardships and make them pathways of holiness as we hold onto hope in Him alone.

In this message, we pray through our three main worldview questions (What does the Bible say? How do we respond in humility? How do I love as an ambassador of Christ?). As we do, we posture our hearts before God to take next faithful steps in not just seeing the world but loving the world.

Teacher: Kyle Kaigler. Maybe more than anything, money and possessions reveal your heart. The world, flesh, and even the Christian culture pull us into believing that more earthly wealth or material goods will satisfy us. God is in the business of creating dependence and can use money and possessions to convict us to where we truly find our hope, joy, and dependency. Money and possessions are not evil. They are simply a tool that can be used to make much of you or much of God and the advancement of the gospel. The choice is yours. So let's take a step in growing in our ability to steward what God has given us.

Teacher: Kyle Kaigler. What is the right perspective on politics? It's easy to forget a biblical lens when viewing politics when everything today is drenched in a political perspective. As believers, we must remember that God is sovereign, we have one king (though we live in two kingdoms), God created government to promote good and restrain evil, the government, church, and family have distinct roles, and the enemy would love nothing more than for Christians to put their trust in government and not God. When we have this perspective, we can examine our own hearts but also engage well with others. So when it comes to politics, let's pray, learn, vote, engage, and ultimately trust that God's got this.

Teacher: Jeff Parker. Culture is downstream from the family. So goes marriages, so goes families, so goes communities, so goes cultures. God has designed marriages to be a firm foundation that leads to flourishing. When we continually confess and repent of our sins, forgive, and celebrate one another, we are able to walk in the fulness of what marriage was meant to be.

Teacher: Derek Mathews. God made man and woman united in their humanity, equal in their dignity, and yet distinct in their sexes. The design is beautiful. The definition is simple. This makes the distortion of manhood and womanhood all the more devastating. Jesus has come to redeem everything, including biblical manhood and womanhood. Let's embrace, celebrate, and model God's design as he restores the beauty of manhood and womanhood in our lives and our culture.

Teacher: Rob Barry. How do you see groups of people? We have a tendency to group people based on externals and then assign stereotypes and value. This is the sin of partiality. Partiality is a rebellion against God. As Christians, we are called not to show preference based on externals but to serve people since they are made in God's image. God is creating a new family of God with people of all backgrounds, ethnicities, classes, and cultures. As we mimic God in reaching all people, the church becomes the beautiful mosaic it was meant to be.

Teacher: Derek Mathews. As we continue our worldview series, we unpack our first topic: the dignity of life. We all have a tendency to see others through our own lens. When we see others through the lens of the world, we tend to value people based on what they can do for us. People then become a problem to solve, a point to validate your worldview or a pathway to your own self-advancement. But when we see people through the lens of God's word, we see people, not made in our image, but in the image of God. This means that they have dignity, value, and worth. When we begin to see people through the lens of Christ, we can love people in the name of Christ.

As we continue our worldview series, we look at three questions to ask any issue of the day: (1) What does the Bible say about it? (2) How do I respond in humility? (3) How do we love others as ambassadors of Christ? With these three questions, we can not only see the world clearly but love the world as Christ does.

Teacher: Derek Mathews. How you see the world impacts what you think, feel, and ultimately do. The lens of the world is a denial of God that leads to a destructive life. The lens of the word is a trust in God that leads to a transformed life. God wants you to see himself, yourself, others, and the world around you in a way that brings life. Only when we see Him rightly can we see the world rightly. By the grace of God, he has given us eyes to see. So let's seek truth, speak truth, and love others well in the name of Christ.

Teacher: Derek Mathews. WAY TO GO! What a year it has been. This time last year, we launched into independence with a new name and identity for this unique opportunity. As we celebrate where we have been, God calls us to excel still more in the days ahead. God has done amazing things, but he is not done telling stories because he is not done transforming lives. Here at CityBridge, we believe the best is still to come!

Teacher: Derek Mathews. Tis the season for resolutions! This is the time each year where many people pause, evaluate their life and reset for what is next. However great a resolution can be, most are too small and too short-sighted. God wants something more significant for you. In this message, we see five resolutions for life founded in Scripture. These are not goals to achieve but guidelines to live by. What we do today is who we are becoming tomorrow. So let's stop our silly self-improvement project and surrender to what God has for us in Christ. Let's kick this year off right!

Teacher: Kyle Kaigler. Have you ever wondered what the first Christmas was like for Mary? What must she have thought, felt, known about the coming savior that was in her womb? As we think what Mary thought, we are brought into the joy and wonder of God becoming man. So let us magnify Jesus by looking at the first Christmas through the lens of Mary.

Teacher: Derek Mathews. Jesus died to pay the penalty for our sin. He rose to show us the check cleared. In John 20-21, Jesus encounters four different people after his resurrection. These people are meant to be reflections of all of us. Some are in pain. Some are in doubt. Some are in fear. Some have given up on God; others have given up on themselves. But Jesus returns for them all. Jesus showed his power through his resurrection. Jesus showed his love through returning for you. You have been saved to see Jesus, to be sent out for Jesus, to be secure in Jesus, and shepherd the flock of Jesus. The Gospel of John is over, but the story of Jesus has just begun. Let's fill the world with the stories of Jesus.

Teacher: Derek Mathews. The cross shows us the heart of God. Like a diamond from various sides, the more we behold Jesus and the cross, the more beauty we see. The central message from God to you, from Christmas to the cross, is that you are loved. The cross informs our hearts to see that, no matter the season, Jesus changes everything.

As we marvel at Jesus praying for us in this way, he serves as a model for how we are to pray. Let's grow our dependence on God as we grow in our dedication to prayer.

Teacher: Derek Mathews. Persecution is a promise from Jesus. Like a good coach, Jesus prepares his disciples for the road ahead. As they love others, the world will hate them. As they look like Christ, the world will cancel them. Yet, Jesus is not concerned. He is calm and confident because he knows that his words and the Spirit of God will give his disciples comfort and courage. As we cling to Christ, we can have confidence in a culture bent against Christ.

Teacher: Jeff Parker. Jesus wants more than an hour of your weekend or a quick devotional time in the morning. He wants all of you, every moment of every day. He desires constant communion with you. Jesus calls this abiding. To abide means to rest and remain in God's goodness, gospel, and grace. When you abide in Christ, he prunes your heart so that more fruit can be grown in and through you. He wants all of you and for all of you to become all you were meant to be.

John 14 begins and ends with Jesus commanding us to "not let our hearts be troubled." By trusting in God the Son, obeying the commands of God the Father, and yielding to God the Spirit, we can experience genuine peace that surpasses understanding.

Teacher: Derek Mathews. When you see Jesus for who he is, he changes who you are. This has been seen throughout the book of John. As we transition from his public ministry (chapters 1-12) to his passion ministry (chapters 13-17), Jesus will declare his love and intent for us. He is the King of the world and the King of your world. When we encounter him, we are never the same. The only proper response is to fully devote our lives to him as the rightful King of all.

Teacher: Derek Mathews. Life is a series of ups and downs. In the sweet seasons of life and in the struggles of life, Jesus makes all the difference. In John 11, Jesus enters into the hardest moment of life: the death of a loved one. All the questions we have when life gets hard are answered here in this passage. Does God Love me? What's the point of all of this? Where is God? Where do I find comfort? Can God do anything? We can bring our hurts and questions to Jesus, and we will find the simple truths that can sustain us through life's struggles. Our response is to draw near to God, draw near to one another, and read the story from the end. Jesus has won the battle of death and sin. He makes all the difference.

Teacher: Jeff Parker. Something is missing in most Christian's lives. Where most in our Christian culture can emphasize the upfront gifts of teaching, the scriptures shine a light on the ongoing responsibility to shepherd. Shepherding is discipleship: an intentional, ongoing, life-on-life investment into others for the sake of them becoming more and more like Christ. Jesus is the good and ultimate Shepherd as he models a personal, purposeful passion towards His sheep. As followers of Christ, we are both His sheep, yet called to mimic Him as our Good Shepherd. For those who love Jesus, He calls us to do the hard work of shepherding the flock before us.

Teacher: Josh Wilhite. How do you know if you are spiritually blind? In John 9, Jesus encounters a man blind and makes him see while those who see remain spiritually blind. Jesus invites us to assess if we truly see Him for all He is and all He has done. Because when we see Him, we see who we were made for. The only response is to believe and bow down before the Light of the world.

Teacher: Derek Mathews. Who do you say Jesus is? Is he your life coach, or is he your LORD? In everything Jesus says and does, he is declaring the fullness of who he is. This declaration causes division which forces a decision. Who you say Jesus is will dictate the course of your life. In love, Jesus will lean into how you see Him. He knows that the fullness of life is only found in the fullness of Christ.

Teacher: Kyle Kaigler. "What can Jesus do for me? Why doesn't Jesus meet my expectations? Why is following Jesus hard?" It's easy to come to Jesus expecting something from him. When Jesus doesn't meet these expectations, it can lead to confusion, doubt, and even turning away from him. Yet, over and over, Jesus reminds us who he truly is and what he has truly come to do. When we see Him for all that he is, our deepest questions are fully answered in Him. He is what we truly need.

Teacher: Derek Mathews. When we look back on our story, there are often sins we have done or situations we have been in that make a deep impact on our lives. These moments become stakes in the ground that hold us captive from living the life Jesus intends for us. As we encounter Jesus, he reveals these past situations and present sins to heal the wounds of our hearts. As he takes these out, living water can flow in us and through us. When he saves us from our sin and shame, this becomes the story we share of his love and grace.

Teacher: Derek Mathews. “I perform, therefore I am accepted.” This running narrative is ruining the way we see God, ourselves, and others. Just like with Nicodemus, Jesus wants to unravel this lie and replace it with the truth of the love of God. Jesus flips the equation and shows us that we are fully accepted by God and therefore live a life out of an overflow of that love. The central truth of God is simply this: you are loved.

Teacher: Derek Mathews. Welcome to the Book of John! Throughout this series, we see Jesus encountering people publicly, privately, and through His passion. All of these movements have one message: Believing in Jesus leads to life. In John 1, we encounter Jesus in His incarnation, His identity, and His invitation. The God of the Universe wants you to come to Him and find the abundant, spiritual, and eternal life you were meant to live. This is only found when we believe, behold, and be with Jesus. So come and see Jesus for all that He is and find life in His name.

Teacher: Josh Wilhite. Have you ever felt not enough? No pure enough, not successful enough, not mature enough, or not capable enough? At the core of all of these is the simple feeling of not being worthy or accepted fully. Jesus takes us who are not worthy in ourselves and makes us worthy in Himself. He alone is worthy, and trusting in Christ makes you worthy. In Christ, you are totally exposed in your sin yet totally accepted in His grace. When we walk in the total acceptance we have in Christ, it frees us to do the good works He called us to.

Reading God's Word is not simply getting information about God but an invitation into an intimate relationship with God. The Word of God is about the God of the Word. This is a treasure that transforms.

Teacher: Derek Mathews. What keeps you up at night? A sin you can't overcome? A situation out of your control? These realities are not meant to push us to despair but desperation, dependence, and devotion to God through prayer. As Paul moves from our wealth in Christ (chapters 1-3) to how to walk in Christ (chapters 4-6), he pauses and prays that we would be strengthened from the inside out. When we come to God in the proper posture of prayer, understanding the purpose of prayer, we begin to see the power of prayer as the love of Christ fills us and transforms every aspect of our lives.

Teacher: Derek Mathews. God had revealed to us who He is and what He has done for us in Christ Jesus. Sadly though, many of us have received Christ but do not respond to Him fully in our day-to-day life. When we truly see this revelation of the gospel, the most natural response is to share the gospel and ultimately suffer for the gospel. This is how to respond to the revelation of God.

Teacher: Derek Mathews. Tim Keller said it best, “The gospel is this: We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope.” Ephesians 2:1-10 shows us what we are by nature and what we could be by grace. God is recreating what has been broken by sin by interjecting himself into the human story. By grace through faith, God makes us alive to live our lives, not for ourselves, but in service to others.
Teacher: Kyle Kaigler. As we continue our series through Ephesians, Paul helps us to pray in the riches we have in Christ. Paul shows us the power of prayer and a picture of Jesus as he prays for the Ephesians. Let us likewise grow our quantity and quality of prayer for ourselves and our body at CityBridge.
Teacher: Derek Mathews. Everything your heart truly longs for is found in Christ. As we open our series through the book of Ephesians, we see just how much we are blessed in Christ. You have been selected by the Father, saved through the Son, and sealed with the Holy Spirit. When you embrace your wealth in Christ it impacts how you walk in Christ as you discover all you need is in Christ alone.
Teacher: Kyle Kaigler. Selah means to reflect and rejoice in the Lord. At the end of our High Call, Safe Place series, let's pause and reflect on all that God has done as we anticipate all that He will do moving forward. Use this message to dwell on the last few weeks and prayerfully consider what the Lord would have for you as your next faithful step with Him.
Salvation is an incredible gift. For those who have trusted Christ, we have been saved from the penalty of sin, are being saved from the power of sin, and one day will be saved from the presence of sin. The enemy continues to downgrade the blessings and benefits of salvation. As we close out our series, "High Call, Safe Place" let us consider the incredible gift of salvation.
Humanity is beautifully made but deeply broken. From the world around us to the reality within us, there is something that just isn't right. Only the Creator can recreate what’s been broken. Remaining what He was, God became what He was not: Human. Jesus became the true human that we were meant to be. When we believe and embrace this reality, we are rescued and restored back to who we were created for and what we were created to be.
What do you think about when you think about God? How you view God affects how you view yourself and how you live in the world around you. God is continually revealing Himself to us by showing us who He is and what He is like. As we get to know Him, He touches and transforms every aspect of our lives. This is the God who is.
As we continue our series, "High Call. Safe Place." we move from who we are to what we believe. The Word of God is living and active and has the power to transform your life. May we be a people who long for the Word of God in order to fall more in love with the God of the Word
Have you ever asked, "Is this all there is to life?" This struggle is real as many try to find life where it can't be found. God desires us to live life to the fullest and He knows life is only found in following Jesus. At CityBridge, we believe our great calling is to call all people to be fully devoted followers of Christ. Only by following Jesus fully can we find the fullness of life we are meant for.
Doing life together in community is an essential part of what it means to follow Jesus. In order to strengthen our community groups, we need to focus on our relationship with God, understand the reality of our enemy, and resist him together as we collectively run after Jesus. This is the high call to follow Jesus and the church should be the safest place to pursue Him together.

Welcome to CityBridge! Today marks the first day we gather as CityBridge Community Church. As we launch into this new adventure God has for us, we must get one thing clear: Jesus gets the glory. Looking at Isaiah 42, we see that Jesus gets the glory for who He is, how He operates, and what He accomplishes. Because of these things and so much more, Jesus deserves our full devotion as He gets all the glory.
