Mission City Church
Mission City Church in San Antonio, where we look to lead our community in lives of transformation by the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Welcome to Mission City Church! In this message, "All In," we dive into Hebrews 12:1 and explore what it truly means to run the race God has set before us as a church family. Just like a torch relay, we are ordinary people entrusted with an extraordinary flame—and each of us has a vital leg of the journey to run. We look closely at the four essential pillars that shape our faith and church DNA: Worship, Life Groups, Service, and Giving. Discover how gathered worship realigns our hearts, how authentic community keeps us grounded, how serving unveils our God-given purpose, and how biblical generosity unlocks true spiritual freedom. Whether you are taking your first step, looking to get connected, or ready to deepen your commitment, it is time to throw off every hindrance and go "All In" for Jesus!

In this powerful sermon from Mission City Church, Lead Pastor Matt Surber dives into the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25:14–30. Exploring the story of the three servants, Pastor Matt unpacks the critical difference between fear-driven paralysis and active, risk-taking faith. Discover why fear disguised as caution is still unfaithfulness, and how our view of God’s character directly shapes how we use what He has given us. God isn't asking for perfection or comparing your gifts to others—He is calling for immediate, faithful action with whatever is in your hands. Watch now to learn how to stop burying your gifts and start living with bold faith today!

In this message, we dive into Jesus’s powerful parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus from Luke 16:19–31. This challenging story completely turns our cultural assumptions upside down, revealing that material prosperity in this life is not the final measure of God's blessing or the condition of our souls. Through this text, Jesus shines a spotlight on our hearts, exposing the danger of self-indulgence and trusting in worldly possessions rather than God’s Word. Ultimately, we are challenged to look beyond our own comfort, see the needs of those around us, and let Scripture truly transform how we live. Join us as we examine what it means to live with eternity in view and align our hearts with the heart of God.

What does true forgiveness look like when we’ve been deeply hurt? In this powerful message based on Matthew 18:21-35, we dive into the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant to uncover a radical kingdom truth: the forgiven forgive.
Through a moving personal story and Christ’s profound teachings, we explore how Peter’s question about the limits of forgiveness is met with God’s standard of infinite grace. Holding onto resentment only imprisons our own hearts, but drawing from God's inexhaustible storehouse allows us to fully release the debts of others. Join us as we learn to replace pride with humility and live out the boundless mercy we have already received.

What is the core question of the Christian faith when it comes to loving others? In this message, we dive into Luke 10:25-37 to explore Jesus's famous parable of the Good Samaritan. While many of us notice the needs around us, we often calculate the cost and choose to pass by the brokenness in our world. Through this powerful story, Jesus challenges us to move past mere feelings of pity and embrace a radical, inconvenient compassion that interrupts our schedules and costs our resources. True faith isn't defined by who we think qualifies as our neighbor, but by whether we choose to act like one. Join us as we learn what it means to stop for the hurting people on the side of our road and discover how to truly "go and do the same."

In this message based on Matthew 7:24–27, we explore Jesus's final challenge at the end of the Sermon on the Mount: the parable of the two builders. While both builders heard the same words and faced the same storms, only the wise builder's house survived because he chose obedience over convenience. Our biggest challenge often isn't a lack of access to God's Word, but the tendency to stop at hearing instead of moving to action. True spiritual security doesn't come from merely acquiring knowledge or attending church, but from actively building our daily lives on Jesus. No matter what storms you are facing or how fragile your foundation feels, it is never too late to start rebuilding your life on the only rock that stands.

Join us as we celebrate America's 250th anniversary with a timely message from 1 Peter 2:11–17. In this sermon, we explore what it truly means to live as "strangers and exiles" in a nation we love deeply, but that ultimately isn't our eternal home. Looking at the powerful biblical examples of Daniel and the exiled Israelites, we discover how to be faithful, respectful, and active citizens without losing our ultimate loyalty to the Kingdom of God. Ultimately, we serve and honor our country best when we keep the cross above the flag and live completely under God's authority.

In Luke 15, Jesus tells three unforgettable stories about a lost sheep, a lost coin, and two lost sons. Each one reveals the searching heart of God; a God who does not wait for people to clean themselves up before He comes after them. This message reminds us that there are two ways to be lost: running from God in rebellion or staying near Him with a cold, self-righteous heart. The younger son discovers grace before performance, while the older brother exposes the danger of serving God without sharing His joy. Whether you feel far from God or quietly hardened inside the Father’s house, Jesus is still seeking you. The question is not whether God will welcome you home... the question is whether you will let yourself be found.

In Matthew 13, Jesus reveals why the same Word produces different responses in different hearts. Some reject it, some receive it shallowly, and some are choked by worry and distraction. But the blessed ones hear, understand, bear fruit, and remain. This sermon asks: what kind of soil are you?

What do you do when your mind is hurting, your emotions feel heavy, and your faith feels stretched thin? In this message, we look at the truth that God cares about every part of you: spirit, soul, and body. Salvation happens in an instant, but healing and sanctification often take time, honesty, and surrender. Through Scripture, we’ll see that even faithful people like Elijah, David, Jeremiah, and Heman wrestled with exhaustion, anxiety, sadness, and darkness. The good news is that God is not afraid of your honesty, and He invites you to renew your mind by replacing lies with His truth. No matter where you are today, healing begins with one step toward the God who is already moving toward you.

In Romans 7:1-6, Paul continues his letter by showing us that freedom in Christ goes even deeper than being dead to sin... we have also been released from the law’s grip. Many Christians live as if God’s love rises and falls with their spiritual performance, turning faith into a checklist of fear and obligation. But Paul reminds us that through the death of Christ, our old relationship to condemnation is over. We now belong to the risen Jesus, not as people trying to earn love, but as people already held by it. This kind of freedom does not lower the standard; it changes the engine. Instead of serving God through fear, we are invited to live in the newness of the Spirit, bearing fruit from love, belonging, and grace.

In Romans 6:15-23, Paul confronts a question many people wrestle with: if God’s grace covers sin, does it really matter how we live? The answer is clear... grace is not a loophole, and freedom in Christ was never meant to become permission to stay enslaved to sin! This passage reminds us that everyone serves something, and what we repeatedly surrender to will shape who we become. Paul invites us to “do the math” and honestly compare the fruit of sin with the gift of God. Sin promises freedom but pays in death, while God gives eternal life through Jesus Christ. In this message, we’ll see that real freedom is found not in living for ourselves, but in belonging fully to Him.

Romans 6 reminds us that the Christian life is not built on behavior change alone, but on a brand-new identity in Christ. Because of Jesus, our old self has been crucified with Him, and sin no longer has the authority to define or control us. Paul calls believers to live in light of what is already true: dead to sin, alive to God, and empowered by grace. This new life does not come from striving to earn God’s favor, but from trusting what Christ has already accomplished. As we learn to see ourselves through the lens of grace, obedience becomes a response to freedom - not a requirement for acceptance.

In Romans 6:1-4, Paul confronts a question that still matters today: if God’s grace covers sin, does it really matter how we live? This message reminds us that grace is not permission to stay the same; it is the power of God that changes us from the inside out. Through Christ, the old life has been buried, sin no longer gets the final word, and believers are called to walk in newness of life. Christianity is not just about forgiveness; it is about resurrection, transformation, and a new identity in Jesus. Join us as we see how the gospel doesn’t simply touch up our lives... it makes us new!

In Romans 5:12-21, we’ll see how one decision changed everything and why the hope we need could only come through "One" greater. If you’ve ever wondered why the world feels so broken, and what God has done about it, this message will help you see the bigger story of sin, grace, and the life available in Christ.

In Romans 5:1-5, we see that following Jesus gives us more than the promise of eternity... it changes how we live right now. Because of Jesus, we gain peace with God, access to His grace, purpose in our struggles, and a hope that will never fail. This message reminds us that suffering is not wasted in God’s hands, but used to build endurance, character, and deeper faith. If you’ve ever wondered what you actually gain when you follow Jesus, this passage gives a clear and powerful answer.

What if Easter isn’t about the cleaned-up version of you, but about who you are at your worst? In Romans 5:6-11, we see that Jesus didn’t wait for us to get better... He came for us while we were helpless, sinful, and far from God. This message reminds us that the cross is the ultimate proof of God’s love, and the resurrection is the proof that Jesus’ work actually worked. Because He lives, forgiveness is real, reconciliation is possible, and your story does not have to stay the same. This sermon is a powerful reminder that you do not need self-improvement as much as you need rescue. Easter declares that Jesus met you in your worst moment so He could give you brand-new life.

What does real, saving faith actually look like? In Romans 4:13-25, we see that God’s promise was never secured by human effort, religious performance, or having it all together... it was always rooted in grace. Abraham’s story shows us a faith that faces impossible circumstances honestly, yet still clings to the faithfulness of God. This message explores how biblical faith is not vague optimism or blind belief, but confident trust in the God who keeps His word. And ultimately, Paul points us to the heart of the gospel: the God who gave life where there was none has raised Jesus from the dead for us. If you’ve ever wondered what it means to truly trust God, this message will challenge and encourage you.

Most people assume being right with God comes down to effort, sincerity, or religion... but Romans 4 tells a very different story. In this message, we step into one of the most freeing and humbling truths in all of Scripture: that God’s verdict over your life is not built on your performance. Through Abraham’s story, Paul exposes the false confidence we place in works, morality, and spiritual identity. What happens when grace interrupts the whole system? What happens when righteousness is received instead of achieved?

Romans 3:27-31 shows that the gospel does more than forgive sin... it completely reshapes how we think and live! Paul explains that because we are justified by faith and not by our own works, all boasting is excluded, leading us into real humility before God. The same gospel also destroys spiritual superiority, because there is one God who saves all people the same way, calling believers into unity instead of division. And rather than making obedience irrelevant, grace actually leads us to uphold God’s law through the power of the Holy Spirit. As God renews our minds, reshapes our character, and transforms our actions, we begin to live from the inside out. This message shows that the gospel demands three major shifts in every believer’s life.

Romans 3:21–26 is the beating heart of the gospel message. In this passage, Paul shows us that salvation is not something we achieve, but something God gives through the finished work of Jesus. All have sinned, all fall short, and none of us can justify ourselves before a holy God. Yet through Christ’s blood, God provides redemption, justification, and mercy for everyone who believes. The cross is where wrath is satisfied, grace is given, and righteousness is received by faith. This message unpacks how God can be both perfectly just and the justifier of the guilty. “But now” changes everything, and this passage shows us why.

In Romans 3:1–20, Paul removes every excuse and brings us face to face with the truth: religion has value, but it cannot save. After exposing the rebellious sinner in chapter 1 and the religious sinner in chapter 2, Paul shows that we are all under sin. The law doesn’t justify us... it silences us. It reveals what’s wrong but cannot make us right.
This message reminds us that outward activity cannot replace inward transformation. We don’t come to God with our resume, our morality, or our church attendance. We come with empty hands.

In Romans 2:11–29, Paul continues developing his argument by stressing that “God shows no favoritism.” Having established that God judges impartially, he now addresses a specific confidence many of his fellow Jews held — reliance on the Law and on the outward sign of circumcision. Paul affirms the privilege of having God’s Law, yet he makes clear that possession of it is not the same as obedience to it. Hearing the Law does not justify anyone; doing it is what matters.
He confronts the inconsistency of teaching others while failing to practice the same truths. Boasting in the Law while breaking it dishonors God and undermines the very covenant identity it claims to uphold. Circumcision, the visible mark of belonging to God’s people, is valuable only if it reflects an obedient heart. Otherwise, it becomes empty symbolism. In a striking reversal, Paul explains that genuine faithfulness — even among Gentiles who do not possess the written Law — demonstrates that God’s standards reach deeper than external markers.
This section climaxes with a profound redefinition of what it means to belong to God. True Jewishness, Paul says, is not merely outward or physical; it is inward. Real circumcision is a matter of the heart, brought about by the Spirit, not simply by adherence to the written code.
As Romans unfolds, this passage calls us beyond religious identity and external performance. It challenges us to examine whether our faith is merely outward or truly transforming within. God’s approval does not rest on heritage, rituals, or knowledge alone, but on a heart renewed by His Spirit — one that lives in humble obedience before Him.

In Romans 2:1-11, Paul shifts his focus from obvious rebellion to a more subtle danger — self-righteous judgment. After describing humanity’s sin in chapter 1, he turns to those who condemn others while practicing the same kinds of wrongs. Paul warns that judging others does not excuse anyone from God’s standard. Instead, it reveals a heart that also stands in need of grace.
This passage emphasizes that God’s kindness is meant to lead us to repentance, not to give us confidence in our own morality. His judgment is impartial and based on truth. Whether Jew or Gentile, religious or irreligious, every person is accountable to Him. God sees beyond outward appearance and evaluates the heart and the direction of one’s life.
As we move forward in Romans, this section calls us to humility. It reminds us that comparing ourselves to others is not the measure of righteousness — God’s holiness is. Rather than standing in judgment over others, we are invited to respond to His patience with repentance and to rest in the hope of eternal life that He gives to those who seek Him.

In Romans 1:18–32, Paul turns from the power of the gospel to the reality of humanity’s rebellion against God. He explains that God has made Himself known through creation, yet many people choose to suppress the truth, exchange God’s glory for idols, and follow their own desires instead of His design.
This passage reminds us that sin is not just personal failure — it is a rejection of God’s authority. When people continually turn away from Him, the consequences affect minds, hearts, relationships, and entire cultures. Paul shows that apart from God, humanity drifts toward darkness, confusion, and brokenness.
As we continue through Romans, this section challenges us to take sin seriously, recognize our need for God’s mercy, and remain grateful that the gospel offers rescue from judgment and restoration through Christ.

The gospel is not something to hide. It is God’s power to save.
In Romans 1:8–17, Paul lays out the heartbeat of his message and the theme of the entire letter. Writing to believers in one of the most powerful and influential cities in the world, Paul makes a bold declaration: he is not ashamed of the gospel. Not because it’s popular. Not because it’s easy. But because it works.
This message reminds us that the gospel is more than the message that saves us. It is the truth that shapes how we live, how we see others, and how we carry hope into the world. The gospel is not advice or self-help. It is the power of God that forgives sin, transforms hearts, and brings salvation to all who believe.
As we continue our journey through Romans, this passage challenges us to examine our confidence in the gospel, our willingness to share it, and our readiness to live by faith every day.

Before the gospel explains what we do, it tells us who we are.
In this message from Romans 1:1–7, we see how Paul begins one of the most theologically rich books in Scripture not with commands or correction, but with identity. Before doctrine is explained, belonging is established. Before behavior is addressed, grace is declared.
Romans opens by grounding us in three essential truths: who God is, who Jesus is, and who we are because of Him. The gospel is not a new idea, not a philosophy, and not self-improvement. It is God’s promised plan, centered on Jesus Christ, and powerful enough to reshape our identity, obedience, and purpose.
This message sets the foundation for the entire journey through Romans, reminding us that salvation begins with surrender, faith produces obedience, and those who belong to Christ are truly set apart for the gospel.

Why does the book of Romans still matter today?
In this message, we begin a journey through one of the most important books in the New Testament. Romans doesn’t just explain theology. It explains the gospel itself. It shows us why we need saving, how God saves us, how grace transforms us, and how the gospel shapes the church and sends us into the world.
Romans was written to a divided church in a confused culture, and it speaks with incredible clarity to the moment we’re living in now. It humbles the religious, restores the broken, unites diverse people under one gospel, and reminds us that salvation is not earned but received through faith in Jesus Christ.
This message sets the foundation for the entire series by answering one central question: What is the gospel, and why does it still matter? If you want a deeper understanding of your faith, a clearer picture of grace, and a stronger grounding in truth, Romans is not a book to skip. It’s a book to commit to.
The gospel that saves us is the gospel that sustains us, transforms us, and sends us.

Life was never meant to be lived alone. From the very beginning, God designed His people to grow, serve, and succeed in community.
In this message, we look at the early church in Acts and discover why meaningful relationships weren’t optional, they were foundational. The church didn’t grow because of programs or buildings. It grew because people devoted themselves to life together. They gathered in homes, prayed together, shared meals, served one another, and walked through life side by side.
This sermon challenges us to move beyond attendance and into real connection. Spiritual growth, care, and lasting impact happen best in community. If you want to grow in your faith and experience the kind of church life God intended, it starts with getting in a group.
Following Jesus is personal, but it was never meant to be private. Life is better together.

Spiritual growth doesn’t happen by accident. Just like our physical health requires regular checkups, our spiritual lives need honest evaluation and intentional care.
In this message, we’re invited to pause and examine where we truly are with God. Using Scripture as our guide, we walk through key areas of spiritual health including salvation, time with God, worship, community, serving, and generosity. The goal isn’t guilt or comparison. The goal is growth.
This sermon challenges us to ask better questions as we begin a new year. Not “Did I attend?” or “Did I look spiritual?” but “Am I actually growing?” Following Jesus means regularly examining our lives and choosing practices that help us mature in wisdom, faith, and obedience.
If you want 2026 to be different spiritually, it starts with an honest self-check and a willingness to grow on purpose.

The week between Christmas and New Year’s is one of the most overlooked moments of the year. It’s unproductive, slow, and easy to waste. But it’s also one of the most strategic times to pause, reflect, and prepare for what’s next.
In this message, we look back at how God showed up in 2025 and look forward to how we can walk wisely into 2026. Drawing from Proverbs 3 and Luke 2, we see that real success is not defined by accomplishments or outcomes, but by growth in wisdom, character, and relationship with God and others. Even Jesus modeled this kind of intentional growth.
This sermon challenges us to evaluate the lessons of the past year, clarify the values that will guide our future, and set goals rooted not in ambition alone, but in trust and obedience to God. True success is found in steadfast love, faithfulness, and a growing relationship with the Lord.
If you want 2026 to look different, it starts with how you finish 2025.

In Matthew 2, wise men travel hundreds of miles because they noticed something others missed. God was moving, a sign was given, and they chose to follow it all the way to Jesus. Meanwhile, those closest to the truth stayed put. This message reminds us that true wisdom is not about information or position, but about attention, worship, joy, and response.
The same God who guided the wise men by a star is still leading people today, not to a place, but to a person. The question is not whether God is moving this Christmas, but whether we are paying attention.

In Luke 2, God announces the birth of Jesus not to kings or religious leaders, but to shepherds. The overlooked. The unclean. The outsiders. God gives them a front-row seat to the Savior to make one thing clear from the very beginning: salvation is for everyone. Jesus came near to bring forgiveness, peace, and joy to those who thought they were too far gone.
If God came for the shepherds, He came for you.

Joseph’s story in Matthew 1 shows what it feels like to doubt God’s faithfulness when life takes a painful turn. Joseph planned to walk away, but God stepped in and revealed a purpose bigger than Joseph could see. Even in confusion, God was present and working behind the scenes. When we look at the birth of Jesus, we see a faithful God who keeps His promises and draws near to us.

This Christmas, we’re inviting people to see for themselves what God can do. In this message, we look at Mary’s story in Luke 1 and how God shows up in unlikely places, unsettles our expectations, and breaks into ordinary life with extraordinary power. Even when we ask “How will this be?”, God reminds us that nothing is impossible with Him.

God invites us to expect more from Him than we often dare to imagine. In this message, we explore what it means to pray bold prayers, believe for impossible things, and live with a faith that stretches beyond our comfort. Ephesians 3:14–21 reminds us that God’s power has no ceiling and His love has no limits. When we expect big things, we step into the kind of faith that shapes families, communities, and generations.

God created us with a deep desire for connection. We aren’t meant to live isolated or carry the weight of life alone. Community is God’s design for our growth, our strength, and our hope. In this message, we look at Hebrews 10:19-25 and discover why gathering together matters, how biblical community shapes our faith, and why we grow best when we walk with others.
Community stirs us toward love and good works. It lifts us when we’re low, strengthens us when we’re weary, and keeps us rooted in truth. You were made for this kind of life, and you don’t have to walk alone.

We don’t go to church — we are the church. God didn’t design us to be spectators but contributors. In this message, Pastor Matt challenges us to move from consuming to contributing — from “I have to” to “I get to.”
When every part of the body works properly, the church grows stronger, lives are changed, and love overflows. Generosity isn’t just about money; it’s about giving our time, talent, and heart to what God is doing. Contributors don’t give passively — they give intentionally, joyfully, and faithfully.
Contributors stay connected to the body of Christ.
Contributors trust God to supply all they need.
Contributors get to work — building His church in love.
Let’s shift our mindset from “got to” to “get to” and be the church God called us to be.

If the Bible says it, we believe it. There is no other truth outside of God’s Word. In this message, Pastor Matt reminds us that Scripture is not just a historical document — it’s the living, breathing Word of God. It teaches, corrects, and trains us so we can live under God’s authority and experience His blessing.
Submitting to God’s Word means living under it, not over it. It’s trusting that God’s way is best, even when culture disagrees. When we read it, pray it, and live it — our lives begin to align with His truth.
The Bible is not just information — it’s transformation.
The Bible doesn’t just make you better — it makes you new.
When you live under God’s Word, you live under His blessing.
Are you ready to fully trust the Word of God as your ultimate authority?

When Jesus was asked which commandment was the greatest, He gave two—love God and love people. The truth is, you can’t do one without the other.
This week in At the Core, we’re unpacking what it really means to love people the way Jesus did. It’s more than kindness or tolerance—it’s sacrificial, active, and reflective of God’s own heart. Every person was created by God, bears His image, and is deeply loved by Him.
When we love like Jesus, we lift others up, forgive freely, and see every person as God’s masterpiece. Real love doesn’t wait to feel—it chooses to act.

What do you value most in life? Jesus said, “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.” When God comes first, everything else finds its right place.
This week we begin our new series, At the Core, by looking at what it means to put God first in every part of our lives. From our priorities and relationships to our work and worship, every area changes when God takes the center.
Putting God first isn’t about adding Him to a list—it’s about reordering life around His will, His Word, and His ways. When we seek Him first, love Him most, obey Him faithfully, trust Him completely, and worship Him fully, our lives reflect what we truly value: His Kingdom above all.

Evil is real, but it’s not victorious. In the final week of our Overcome series, we look at the closing chapter of Joseph’s story and discover the truth that shaped his life: what the enemy meant for evil, God meant for good.
Through every betrayal, temptation, and setback, Joseph never lost sight of who was in control. His story reminds us that God’s presence isn’t limited to the mountaintops—it’s with us in the pit, the prison, and the palace.
When we recognize the enemy’s lies, reject the weight of guilt, and trust God’s plan, we find the power to overcome. No matter what comes against us, we can stand confident that the real enemy has already been defeated.

Resentment is one of the hardest battles we face. When someone has hurt us deeply, holding onto bitterness feels natural. But Joseph’s story in Genesis 45 shows us a better way—one that points us to the heart of the Gospel.
Forgiveness isn’t easy, but it’s freeing. Joseph revealed the hurt, released the burden, reframed the past, and restored the relationship. His story reminds us that God calls us to forgive as we have been forgiven in Christ.

Regret is powerful—it lingers, weighs us down, and keeps us from moving forward. In Genesis 42, Joseph’s brothers finally confront the guilt of their betrayal after 22 years of silence. Their story reminds us that regret doesn’t have to define us.
God doesn’t want us chained by guilt. Conviction is meant to lead us to confession—and confession leads to freedom. The only way to overcome regret is through Christ, who forgives and restores.

Disaster is part of life—we can’t always avoid it, but we can overcome it. In Genesis 41, Joseph shows us how to face disaster with wisdom, trust, and faith. Pharaoh’s dreams revealed seven years of plenty followed by seven years of famine, and Joseph’s response teaches us a key truth: God’s plan isn’t always to prevent disaster, but to prepare us to endure and rise above it.
The way forward is clear: trust God’s Way, trust God’s When, and apply wisdom that leads to freedom. Disaster doesn’t have to destroy you when you lean on God’s plan.

Disappointment is something we all face—whether it’s unmet expectations, delays, or seasons where life just doesn’t go the way we planned. In Genesis 40, Joseph shows us what it looks like to remain faithful even when he was forgotten, waiting, and stuck in disappointment.
The truth is, God’s delays are not God’s denials. When life feels like it’s on pause, we can still choose determination over doubt, keep serving others, and trust that God’s timing is always perfect.

Temptation never comes with warning labels. It promises pleasure, comfort, or gain—but it hides the cost until it’s too late. In Genesis 39, we see Joseph face one of the greatest temptations of his life. His story shows us what it really takes to stand strong when sin comes knocking.
To overcome temptation, we must recognize God’s blessings in our lives, set clear boundaries before the pressure hits, and always be ready with God’s Word in our hearts.
The truth is, sin will always cost more than we want to pay and keep us longer than we want to stay. But when we resist, we gain something far greater—the presence of God.

Jealousy starts as a seed in the heart, but if left unchecked, it blinds us to God’s plan and destroys relationships. In this message from Genesis 37, we look at the life of Joseph and his brothers to see both the danger of jealousy and the hope of overcoming it.
When others are jealous of you, or when jealousy rises in your own heart, there’s a way forward: trust God’s purpose, celebrate others, and allow Him to search your heart.
Don’t let comparison rob you of joy. God’s plan for your life is good, and His blessings will not pass you by.

We all have a past — mistakes, regrets, or even sins that weigh us down. But through Jesus, you don’t have to be defined by who you were. You can be transformed by who He is.
In this message, we look at the story of Jacob in Genesis 35 and discover how repentance leads to true freedom. Overcoming your past means putting away idols, purifying your heart, and stepping into the new identity God gives you.
God’s grace doesn’t just cover your past — it gives you a future.

Christianity was never meant to be a spectator sport. Too many believers have settled into the stands—watching rather than playing. This message challenges us to move from the sidelines to the field through faithful attendance, active service, personal spiritual growth, generous giving, and protecting unity in the church.
This is your call to stop watching and start playing. The Kingdom needs you in the game.

Self-control isn’t about willpower—it’s about walking in the Spirit. In this final message of our Fruit of the Spirit series, Pastor Matt teaches that self-control isn’t a command we force, but a fruit that grows as we stay in step with the Holy Spirit. The works of the flesh are obvious, but the way of freedom is supernatural. We don’t conquer sin by trying harder—we crucify the flesh and keep in step with the Spirit.
Are you following the Spirit’s lead—or letting your flesh lead the way?
Self-control isn’t just about what you avoid—it’s about who you’re becoming.

Gentleness is often misunderstood. It isn’t weakness—it’s strength under control. In this message, we unpack what it means to walk in step with the Spirit and respond like Jesus: not with pride or power, but with humility and grace.
When we’re tempted to prove ourselves, dominate a conversation, or lash out in anger, gentleness invites us to follow a better path—one modeled perfectly by Christ Himself.

📖 Psalm 103:11; 1 Corinthians 4:1–2
🎙️ Speaker: Matt Carter
📍 Mission City Church | July 21, 2025
Life can feel overwhelming, and faithfulness might seem out of reach—but it isn’t. In this message, Pastor Matt reminds us that the foundation of our faithfulness is God’s unwavering faithfulness to us. From Abraham to David to Jesus, God has always kept His promises, and now His Spirit lives in us so we can reflect that same kind of commitment and follow-through.
We’re called to be faithful—not just to start well, but to finish well. Faithfulness means both commitment and completion. We can live that out when we remember who God is…and who we are.

📖 Exodus 33–34
🎙️ Speaker: Matt Carter
📍 Mission City Church | July 13, 2025
What does it really mean to be good?
This week we explore the fruit of the Spirit called Goodness—a trait often misunderstood and hard to define. But Scripture is clear: Goodness begins with God. From the opening chapter of Genesis to Moses’ mountaintop encounter in Exodus 33–34, we see that God doesn’t just do good things… He is good.
Main Idea: The Fruit of the Spirit are not commandments. They’re evidence that we are walking in the Spirit. And goodness? It’s not a performance—it’s God’s presence in your life.
✅ 5 Questions to measure the Spirit’s goodness in your life.
🔥 One unforgettable picture of God’s glory: not wrath or power—but mercy, love, and forgiveness.
🙏 A call to reflect the goodness of God to a broken world.
Let the Holy Spirit infuse your life with the kind of goodness that changes others—and leaves the scent of Jesus behind.

🎙️ Speaker: Pastor Matt Surber
📍 Mission City Church | July 6, 2025
In a world where kindness is in short supply, how do we live differently?
This week, we’re diving into the fifth Fruit of the Spirit — Kindness. It’s not about being “nice” or making people feel good. Kindness is about meeting real needs with love, grace, and action. And the truth is, kindness isn’t natural — it’s supernatural. It comes from walking with the Holy Spirit.
Main Idea: The Fruit of the Spirit are not commandments — they are evidence that we are walking in the Spirit. And kindness is not about how you make people feel — it’s about what they need.
What would change in your life if you were known for the kindness of Christ?

📖 Psalm 37
🎙️ Speaker: Russ Barksdale
📍 Mission City Church | June 29, 2025
We live in a world that hates to wait. From high-speed internet to fast food drive-thrus, our culture has trained us to be impatient. But God calls us to something different — a Spirit-led life marked by patience.
In Week 4 of our Fruit of the Spirit series, we explore Psalm 37 and what it really means to wait on the Lord. This kind of patience isn’t weakness — it’s strength. It’s the ability to be still, trust God’s timing, and resist the temptation to take shortcuts or rush ahead.
Main Idea: The Fruit of the Spirit are not commandments — they are evidence that we are walking in the Spirit. And the Holy Spirit offers patience, not quick fixes.
God’s path isn’t a shortcut — it’s the long road that leads to life.

📍 Mission City Church | June 22, 2025
We live in a world filled with anxiety, division, and chaos — but the Bible tells us that peace is still possible. This week in our Fruit of the Spirit series, we look at the supernatural peace that comes from walking in the Spirit and being made right with God.
True peace isn’t found in the absence of conflict — it’s found in the presence of God. In Romans 5, we learn that real peace begins with being justified by faith — made right with God through Jesus. And from there, that peace begins to flow into every other area of our lives.
Main Idea: The Fruit of the Spirit are not commandments — they are the evidence that we are walking in the Spirit. Real peace begins when we have peace with God.

📖 John 16:20–24
🎙️ Speaker: Pastor Matt Surber
📍 Mission City Church | June 15, 2025
This week, we continue our summer series on the Fruit of the Spirit with a message on JOY — a fruit that feels more rare than ever in today’s world. From John 16:20–24, we discover that true joy isn’t found in perfect circumstances or fleeting feelings — it’s found through the presence of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus promises that our sorrow can turn into joy — not by ignoring the pain, but by walking with Him through it. Joy is the natural result of a Spirit-filled life, and it grows even in broken places.
Main Idea: The Fruit of the Spirit are not commandments — they are the evidence of walking with the Spirit. Through the Holy Spirit, our joy is made complete.

🎙️ Speaker: Pastor Matt Surber
📍 Mission City Church | June 1, 2025
We’re kicking off our summer series Fruit of the Spirit—and it starts with LOVE.
But this isn’t a checklist on how to be a better person. The Fruit of the Spirit aren’t commands to follow—they’re the evidence that we’re walking in the Spirit. Paul reminds us that love isn’t just one trait among many—it’s the foundation. Without love, even the most spiritual acts mean nothing.
This week, we dive into 1 Corinthians 13, the “Love Chapter,” to do a spiritual system check. Is your love patient and kind? Are you humble? Can you let go of hurt? Does your love stay consistent through hard seasons?
We’re not giving you a list of religious to-do’s—we’re learning to walk in the Spirit and let God grow the fruit in us. Love will always be more powerful than Law.
🕊️ Main Idea: The Fruit of the Spirit is evidence of the Spirit’s work in us—not a list of tasks to accomplish.

📖 Colossians 4:2-6
How do we handle conversations with people who don’t believe what we believe? Do we shout louder, shut down, or stay silent to avoid the tension? In this week’s message, we talk about how to handle disagreements with love, wisdom, and grace—especially when it comes to our faith. Paul’s words in Colossians remind us that our goal isn’t to win arguments, but to win people.
So how do we speak with grace and truth? How can we live in such a way that people are drawn to Jesus, even if they don’t agree with us right away? Let’s unpack what it means to walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of every opportunity.
🗣️ It’s not about silencing others—it’s about seasoning our speech with grace.

We all know how easy it is to tear people down—but what would happen if we flipped the script and used our words to build up instead? In this message, we talk about how to encourage one another, even when it’s difficult. Whether you’re frustrated, offended, or just tempted to gossip, the Holy Spirit gives us a better way—one marked by self-control, kindness, and love.
From calling out the good in others to shutting down evil when it shows up, the way we speak can be a powerful force for healing, unity, and life in the church.

Being a parent today isn’t easy—especially when it feels like we’re speaking a different language than our kids. In Week 2 of our Let’s Talk series, Pastor Matt Surber, of Mission City Church in San Antonio, TX, dives into how to talk to your kids about setting healthy boundaries, not with fear or frustration—but with grace, love, and God’s wisdom.
The Bible makes it clear: God wants to be at the center of every part of our lives, including our parenting. When we intentionally talk about God at home, when we walk, when we rise, and when we lie down—we give our children a foundation for truth and freedom.
In this message, we explore:
✅ Why God’s design for communication starts with listening
✅ What it means to “bring God to the table”
✅ How boundaries at home and in the world prepare our kids for life
✅ How the Holy Spirit equips parents to lead their children well
Let this message encourage you to have real, grace-filled conversations that shape your kids for the better—and to trust that God will give you the words you need.
👨👩👧👦 Parenting with purpose starts with talking on purpose.
🎯 Radical love sets boundaries that lead to real freedom.

Conflict is inevitable in marriage — but how we handle it will determine the health and future of our relationship. When two passionate people come together, sparks can fly, and without careful attention, small disagreements can ignite into major issues.
In Week 1 of LET’S TALK, with Pastor Matt Surber of Mission City Church in San Antonio, TX, we’ll discover that conflict isn’t something to fear — it’s something to face with grace. Drawing from Ephesians 4:26-32, we’ll explore how to manage anger without sinning, how to build each other up with our words, and how seasoning every conversation with grace can transform even the hardest moments into opportunities for deeper love and connection. Whether you’re married, single, or somewhere in between, the way we talk — and fight — matters. Let’s learn how to fight fair, speak life, and keep love at the center of every conversation.

What does it truly mean to see Jesus for who He really is? On His journey to Jerusalem, Jesus encounters a blind beggar named Bartimaeus—an outsider the crowd tried to silence. But while everyone else overlooked him, Jesus saw his true value.
This week, Pastor Matt Surber, of Mission City Church in San Antonio, TX, continues our Resurrection Road series by exploring The Road to Healing. We’ll discover that healing doesn’t just mean physical restoration—it requires spiritual sight. And just like the people in the crowd, we have a part to play. God calls us to invest in the people others overlook and invite them to meet Jesus for themselves.
Sometimes the hardest climb isn’t physical—it’s the journey of seeing others the way God sees them. Join us as we open our eyes to His mission and prepare our hearts for Easter by walking the road that leads to healing.

What defines your life? Your job, your relationships, your hobbies? In Philippians 1:21, Paul gives a bold answer: “For me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” Even in prison, facing an uncertain future, Paul maintained a No-Matter-What attitude—choosing joy, purpose, and faith over fear.
In this message, Pastor Matt Surber, of Mission City Church in San Antonio, TX, unpacks what it means to live with this mindset.

Life is full of unfinished projects—half-painted walls, unread books, dreams that feel out of reach. Spiritually, we often feel the same way, stuck in the same struggles, wondering if we’re making progress. But here’s the truth: God isn’t done with you.
In this message, Pastor Matt Surber, of Mission City Church in San Antonio, TX, kicks off our new series on Philippians, exploring Philippians 1:6—“He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion.” Paul wrote these words from a prison cell, yet he was filled with JOY, knowing that God finishes what He starts. No matter what you’re facing, His grace will sustain you, His love will keep you moving, and His righteousness will guide you forward.

We’ve been changed by the radical love of Jesus—saved, redeemed, and given new life. But here’s the question: What are we doing with it? When something transforms us, we can’t help but share it. Just like finding an incredible restaurant or watching an amazing game, we naturally tell others about what moves us.
This week, Pastor Matt Surber, of Mission City Church in San Antonio, TX, leads us as we dive into what it means to share the life-changing love of Christ. From the lepers in 2 Kings 7 who stumbled upon salvation and knew they couldn’t keep it to themselves, to Paul’s declaration that the love of Christ compels us—God’s love isn’t meant to be hoarded. It’s meant to be shared.
If we truly believe the gospel is good news, why would we keep it to ourselves? What’s stopping us from sharing the greatest gift we’ve ever received? Let’s talk about how Radical Love pushes us beyond comfort, beyond fear, and into the lives of others—so they, too, can know the hope we’ve found in Jesus.

Pastor Matt Surber, of Mission City Church in San Antonio, TX, continues in our Christmas series.
What do you do when life doesn’t go as planned? When job loss, health issues, or broken dreams leave you feeling like God let you down? Disappointment can shake your faith, but the story of Christmas reminds us of a profound truth: God’s purpose often unfolds through disrupted plans.
Mary and Joseph had their future mapped out, only for God to interrupt with a calling that brought chaos, pain, and fear. Yet, in the middle of their disappointment, God was working a greater plan—one that would save the world.
You don’t have to understand God’s plan to trust that He has a purpose. Your disappointment might just be a divine appointment. Even when life feels like chaos, God’s love and perfect purpose remain steadfast. Trust Him—He’s working in ways you can’t see.

Pastor Matt Surber, of Mission City Church in San Antonio, TX, continues in our Christmas series.
Waiting is one of life’s hardest challenges, especially when it feels like God is silent. Whether you’re praying for healing, financial relief, or a breakthrough, it’s easy to wonder if God cares or if He’s even there. But God’s silence doesn’t mean His absence. His delays aren’t His denials, and while you’re waiting, He’s working—often in ways you can’t see. Before God works for you, He’s working in you, building trust, patience, and a deeper reliance on Him.
At just the right time, God sent Jesus to save the world, reminding us that His timing is always perfect. If you’re struggling in a season of waiting, take heart: God hasn’t forgotten you. He loves you, and He’s working all things together for your good. What if the God you’re waiting for is waiting for you?

Know someone difficult to love? In 2024, it feels like there are even more challenging relationships to navigate—whether it’s due to the holiday season, political divides, or just the stresses of life.
Pastor Matt Surber, of Mission City Church in San Antonio, TX, continues in our Christmas series. In Week 2 of Missing Peace, we tackle the reality of relational tension and the perpetual offense culture we live in today. Paul’s teaching in Romans 12 reminds us to:
•Bless those who persecute us—not just once, but continually.
•Choose love over being right—because Jesus didn’t call us to win arguments; He called us to win hearts.
•Live at peace with everyone, as far as it depends on us—a radical, countercultural approach to relationships.
We’ll unpack how being offended is inevitable, but living offended is a choice. Through God’s mercy, we can rise above petty arguments and relational tensions by making the decision to “pass over” offenses and protect what truly matters—our relationships.

What would you wish for if you could have anything this Christmas? Money? Happiness? A perfect relationship? While these are common desires, what many of us truly long for—often without realizing it—is peace. Yet, peace can feel impossible in a world filled with tension, anxiety, and challenges.
Nick Brandt, of Mission City Church in San Antonio, TX, begins a new series. In the first message of our new Christmas series, Missing Peace, we dive into the powerful promise of Isaiah 26:3, which speaks of “perfect peace” for those whose minds are steadfast and fixed on God. But what does “perfect peace” look like in real life, especially in the middle of storms, struggles, and uncertainty?
Join us as we discover:
• Peace isn’t found in the absence of problems but in the presence of God.
• How to battle for peace in our minds and focus our thoughts on God’s unfailing promises.
• The supernatural peace Jesus offers—not as the world gives, but as only He can.
Whether you’re navigating personal storms or seeking hope for 2024, this message is a reminder that true peace begins with fixing your mind and heart on the One who is peace.

Pastor Matt Surber, of Mission City Church in San Antonio, TX, continues a series through the book of Genesis.
As we close out the Genesis: Unfiltered series, we tackle one of the most difficult and uncomfortable chapters in the Bible: Genesis 34. This passage, marked by sin, violence, and brokenness, offers no clear heroes and doesn’t even mention God. Yet, through the story of Jacob and his family, we see the consequences of partial obedience and the heavy cost of moral failure.
In this message, we explore four key negatives in Jacob’s life—his hot-and-cold faith, moral inconsistencies, fear of the world’s opinion, and disregard for God’s call to holiness. Despite Jacob’s failures, God’s grace remains steadfast, showing us that even in our mess, God works to fulfill His promises.
Join us as we reflect on the dangers of living a life disconnected from God and discover how walking with Him leads to faith, consistency, and a life set apart for His glory.

Discover how God’s blessings are unlocked, not through striving but through surrender, and how His greatest gift isn’t always the answer we want but His presence itself.

Pastor Matt Surber, of Mission City Church in San Antonio, TX, continues a series through the book of Genesis. Today, we explore Genesis 30 to see how the gospel radically redefines our identity and frees us from harmful patterns like envy and jealousy. This passage may not seem life-changing at first glance, but it reveals critical truths about the human heart. In the lives of Rachel, Leah, Jacob, and Laban, we see envy kill intimacy and jealousy isolate, as each one struggles for personal gain. Yet, the gospel offers redemption, grounding our worth in Christ rather than in what we can achieve. Join us as we uncover the transformative power of the gospel, which frees us from competition and comparison to live for God’s glory and the benefit of others.

Brad Cauley, of Mission City Church in San Antonio, TX, continues a series through the book of Genesis.
We often overlook this truth about the Christian journey: God does not promise a life without hardship but assures us of His comfort through it. Through the story of Leah, we see the raw struggles of rejection and the deep longing for love. Despite her pain, Leah learns to shift her focus from human approval to a God-centered faith, finding ultimate comfort in Him. Her journey, as the mother of Judah demonstrates God’s incredible faithfulness even through affliction.
Join us as we delve into these scriptures and uncover the ways God uses our suffering for His greater purpose, offering hope and assurance that, in every season, He is working for our good.

Jesus' first recorded miracle is turning water into wine at the wedding in Cana. But why? Why did Jesus do this?
