Have you ever tried to help God by going ahead of him to get your answer?  Pastor Kaci shares how Sarah wanted to have a baby so badly, but because of her age, she decided to go ahead of God; she now has a problem that has developed. Sarah & and Abraham had to trust God for their promises of Isaac despite their current circumstances.

In the story of Zacchaeus, we discover profound lessons about transformation, redemption, and God's unwavering love. In today's message, we are challenged to examine our lives, seek Jesus earnestly, and embrace His grace.

In week 2 of “The Bible Story,” we incorporate the lesson from the story of the three Hebrew boys. We can draw inspiration to uphold our core values and convictions, even when societal pressures or adversity tempt us to compromise. This biblical narrative encourages us to stand firm in our beliefs, maintain integrity, and have faith that doing what is right will ultimately lead to our protection a...

In the story of Jonah, we find profound lessons about surrendering to God's will. Just as Jonah resisted God's call and attempted to flee, we too often struggle to surrender for several reasons. Yet, as Jonah discovered in the belly of the whale, surrender brings redemption and purpose.

In this week's message, Pastor Brian shares a message titled "No More Shame," exposing the lies we have believed of guilt and shame. Through the story of Mephibosheth, we see how we can become stuck in a place of shame because shame becomes something we not only experience but something that also has a hold on our lives. However, God redeems us and gives us a seat at the king's...

In moments when your focus is shattered by life's challenges, don't lose sight of what God is orchestrating in your life. Take a step back, refocus, and realign yourself with the word of God, for alignment always precedes assignment.

This Sunday, we had the honor of hearing from two incredible missionaries Dr. John Sweet and Coleman Bailey.

Pastor Jason shares the “WHY” behind the “WHAT” we do here at CityLife Church, corporately and individually. Core values are the root beliefs that a person or organization operates from. These ten principles help govern us and help establish a healthy church culture. If the culture is healthy, amazing things can happen.

Most of our progress in life is made up of many small steps. You might desire to move ahead by leaps and bounds, but that's not typically the reality. In today's message, we are encouraged to be patient and not lose hope. Wait on God. He knows exactly what is best for you, how and where it should come about, and the ideal time for accomplishing His will.

When we pray, do we ask for petitions instead of declaring who He is? Jesus has given us a model for coming to the Father and praying to him in Matthew 6:9-13. Pastor Tony shares how to go first in the posture of worship before checking off a list of requests and wants. In those moments, we can listen to God; He will reveal things about our past, present condition, and promising future. 

Pastor Ej shares a challenging message as we entered into a 10-day fast titled "What do you Expect." He uses 2 Kings 13:15-19 to illustrate God's will and plan for us over the next 10 days. What you put in is what you will get out. We will experience God's will when we give our full effort.

Dr. Dave Martin shares some powerful nuggets of truth and wisdom principles to help us navigate through our faith walk. 

Pastor Tony shares a powerful message about the Blessing, recorded in Numbers 6:22-27, in that God instructed Moses to speak over the Israelites. This declaration is given to them for protection, to walk in grace, stamped with God’s favor and peace.

Rest carries great risk and great reward. Rest is your responsibility. Pastor Kaci's message challenges us to set aside the time and the place to be with God and Him alone. To find that rest and to sample what is life-giving. To sit in Silence.

There is abundance in rest. If you stay connected to God, you will bear fruit, but you have to walk through seasons of pruning. Today's message teaches that pruning only happens in the resting, not the running.

In week 2 of our Selah series, Pastor Jason talks about what it means to Surrender to Rest through rejoicing, examination, silence, and in trust. We learn that Jesus gives us three instructions that teach us how to surrender to rest in Him because when we rest, it provides fine-tuning for hearing God’s messages amidst the static of life. 

We all need seasons of "Selah"- time to pause and reflect on God, who He is, what He is doing in our lives, and who we are in Him. In today's message, we learn all about the rhythms of rest God established for us from the beginning of time. When we learn to follow God's rhythm of rest in our lives, we find ourselves walking in the rhythm of God's grace.

Dr. Gary Lewis shares the disciple’s journey from one miracle to another. God is faithful and always on time, even when we are not. He is present in the miracles and also present in the storm. The storm reveals who Jesus is and his love for us, and we are not alone.

Are you ready for battle? Are you prepared to stand your ground when everything comes at you? Pastor Tony shares how we must be prepared, sober, and vigilant because the enemy's goal is to attack us from every side. The good news is that God has equipped us with armor to withstand and stand against the enemy's wiles. We can be strong in the Lord and the power of His might.

Pastor Tony shares that sometimes quitting in the middle of the halfway point of your journey seems much easier. It’s in the middle where God still meets us and encourages us to press forward. God wants us to walk in obedience, be patient, change our perspective, laser focus, walk by faith, and know our purpose to reach the other side of the promise.

Shame is crippling because it attacks your identity. It communicates that you are bad because you did something bad. In today's message, we learn there is freedom from our shame because of what Christ did for us on the cross.

Pastor Tony shares how the mantle was passed down from Elijah to another generation, Elisha. God is still moving and empowering this generation to fulfill His word on the earth. In order to fulfill the assignment, we must focus, have a pure heart, pursue his presence and walk on the word. 

They aren't a problem; they just talk like they are. It is essential to understand who our adversary, the devil is, and what power and authority he actually has. The Bible says that Satan "is like" a roaring lion but never says "he is" a roaring lion. In today's message, we are reminded that God's words are more powerful than the enemy's words.

Pastor Kaci shares how to handle heartbreak in seasons of our life. Abraham had some mountain-top experiences and painful lows in his life. Feeling the pain is the step pain to healing the pain. We can take steps to overcome loss and get to a place where we can return to our first love.
