It's Easter Sunday! We will continue our journey, paragraph-by-paragraph, through the gospel of Matthew in a series entitled: The King and His Kingdom. We are examining the life and ministry of Jesus as He comes as the King to usher in His Kingdom, but perhaps, not like we might have expected. As we close out chapter 4, and this first section of the book, we study the beginning of the public ministry of Jesus and those that He called to follow Him
Big Idea: The life of Jesus offers new beginnings
On this Good Friday, it is vital that we sit in the weight and sobriety of the immeasurable sacrifice of Jesus Christ on our behalf.
Big Idea: The death of Jesus is a reality with which we must be reconciled.

We will be examining the life and ministry of Jesus as He comes as the King to usher in His Kingdom, but perhaps, not like we might have expected. As we enter into chapter 4, we study the temptation of Jesus and learn that this time of testing was needed.
Big Idea: Wilderness examination proves the integrity of the Kingdom
We continue our journey, paragraph-by-paragraph, through the gospel of Matthew in a series entitled: The King and His Kingdom.

Big Idea: Jesus of Nazareth is the King who came to establish His Kingdom

We will be examining the life and ministry of Jesus as He comes as the King to usher in His Kingdom, but perhaps, not like we might have expected.

Big Idea: Kingdom faith lets God steer the story
We continue our journey, paragraph-by-paragraph, through the gospel of Matthew in a series entitled: The King and His Kingdom. We will be examining the life and ministry of Jesus as He comes as the King to usher in His Kingdom, but perhaps, not like we might have expected. As we enter into chapter 2, we're leaving the Christmas lights up 'til February and we see that while God may be hidden from us, He is not hiding from us so when we seek Him, we find Him.
Big Idea: Those who seek the King, find the King
This week we step out of our series in Matthew for a special Sunday as we celebrate 5 years of God's kindness to keep His promise to build His church. As Citypoint marks 5 years of ministry here in Tempe, we are privileged to have Cary Schmidt, pastor from Newington, Connecticut with us. His message is a very practical look at a prayer Moses prayed at the end of his life recounting the goodness of God.
The only story worth living is harder than you think, but better than you imagine.

We will be examine the life and ministry of Jesus as He comes as the King to usher in His Kingdom, but not like we might have expected.

Big Idea: God's Kingdom plan unfolds through Kingdom cooperation
This week we begin our journey, paragraph-by-paragraph, through the gospel of Matthew. Our series is entitled: The King and His Kingdom. We will be looking at the life and ministry of Jesus as He comes as the King to usher in His Kingdom, but not like we might have expected. As we wade into chapter 1 and this very important genealogy we learn some very important truths about who God is and how the King will arrive.
Big Idea: Matthew's genealogy foreshadows the way of the King
This week we begin our journey, paragraph-by-paragraph, through the gospel of Matthew. Our series is entitled: The King and His Kingdom. We will be looking at the life and ministry of Jesus as He comes as the King to usher in His Kingdom, but not like we might have expected. However, before we can get into the chapters, we've got to sit in the prologue and introduction, which takes us 400 years prior to the Incarnation to a message God has for His people through the prophet Malachi.
Big Idea: Matthew opens anticipating the arrival of God's Kingdom
Someone once said, "Church is not a museum for the magnificent, but a hospital for the hurting." However, oftentimes when we come to church we have no idea how to grieve or we are convinced that our grief will hinder our worship. Friends, thats just not true. In this message, Joel takes us through the sorrow of Jesus in the garden before His crucifixion and he lays for us a foundation and framework for how we ought to lament.
Big Idea: Jesus shows us how to respond to sorrow
60 years ago, God moved in the hearts of a group of people to plant a gospel-preaching church here in Tempe. This weekend we had the privilege of inviting back a number of people that had been involved in that work over that time to celebrate God's faithfulness to keep HIs promise to build His Church. We give glory to God for all that he's done and we honor the legacy that has been left so that Gospel ministry can continue here today.
Big Idea: Stones tell stories
On this first Sunday of 2024, Jon challenges our church with a very important truth. Rest is something we work from, not work towards. In this message we are given very biblical and very practical ways to not just understand rest but to make it a regular rhythm in our lives.
We are privileged to be a church that not only desires to see other churches planted for multiplication but also desires to see people raised up to lead in that multiplication. On the final day of 2023 we are honored to hear from a man that is being trained and equipped to engage in vocational ministry as the Lord sees fit. Michael Henry brings us a wonderful challenge on a prayer we should all be praying as we enter this new year.
The Christmas season is saturated with anticipation. And on the penultimate night before the celebration of the Incarnation of the Son of God, we sit in the weight of that anticipation knowing that He came to us, walked among us all so that He could die for us. And with that, the wait is over.
Join us for our Christmas series here at Citypoint Church. We are walking through a foundational paragraph in John 3 reminding us all about the love of God shown in the Incarnation of His only Son, Jesus

Our final message is here. Derek, our director of college and community life, wraps up our study through the New Testament epistle of Colossians, in a series entitled: Jesus Above All. This series is all about the unrivaled supremacy of Jesus Christ. This week, we are reminded that Paul did the work of the ministry, not alone, but with a little help from his friends.
Big Idea: Living Jesus above all is best done alongside those who live that as well.

Jon dives into a familiar text and introduces us to an unexpected friend we commonly know as "the Good Samaritan". But this character himself actually points us to the narrator of the story, the Perfect Neighbor, Jesus.

Pastor Jon tackles a tough, but well known text to close out chapter 2 of our James series entitled, Gospel on the Ground: taking the reality of the Gospel into our every day lives. If you lack works, you have no faith. If you have only works, you have no faith. Your works must be from the overflow of your faith.
Big Idea: True saving faith is functional faith
