City Rev Church

You have a mission should you chose to accept it. God has a mission for every single believer. He has given you everything you need to complete this mission. The only thing that remains is for you to chose if you are you going to chose to accept that mission...

In part 1 of Awaken, we learned about how when we see Jesus as the Messiah, we see our city as our mission field. But what does it look like practically to be on mission with the gospel? What am I actually supposed to do and how can I do it? In Acts 8, we read a story about a man named Philip whom God used to bring the good news of Jesus to a person and it changed his life. His story demonstrates...

When you see Jesus as the Messiah you see your city as a mission field. And Jesus said the fields are white with harvest, but what does that mean and how should that affect how we see our calling as Christians?

“It goes by in the blink of an eye!” What parent hasn’t heard that before from someone else. When it comes to parenting we know we want to take advantage of the time we have. One of the most challenging but critical parts of parenting is discipline. How do we discipline children in the most life giving way possible?

Children absorb so much from their parents. How can we be as intentional as possible in what they are taking in from us? This week we are focusing on how to have the most life giving interactions with our children.

What should parents do regarding their faith and their kids. It seems like the two options are shoving religion down their throat or letting them choose their own path. Which is the most loving? What if both of those options are incredibly unloving. What if there is another option...

I’m not sure I know anyone who would say that they are not busy. It seems like everyone is busy. Or at least everyone feels busy. But who is determining how we are using that precious time? Do we just go with the current of our surrounding culture or are we seizing these hours and using them in the most rewarding way possible?

Can you love something too much? The Bible says, no. However if you love things in the wrong priority order, that could cause real damage. As we are recalibrating our families with some key principles, let’s get first things first.

There’s an error that many married couples make over the course of their life together. It’s subtle and even unnoticeable at times. At first, it seems like it’s the right thing to do and perhaps even the only option. But over time, even a small misalignment that goes undetected in the moment, can produce an overwhelming problem. In this message, we’re talking about the priority of marriage and how...

There’s no doubt that we live in an Information Age. As Christians we have to learn how the information age intersects with following Jesus. We have to know and be aware of where we’re we are being discipled. That's something we have to know biblically how to navigate. We will dig into that and read a text that brings some clarity, and some rest to a season that can be exhausting with the amount o...

We have always been about one thing at City Rev Church. One person...Jesus Christ. As we reflect on and celebrate our 20 years of ministry we are reminded why in all things revealing Christ is the only goal worth striving for as a church.

When we go through pain, we instinctually ask “why?!” Most often we do not get that answer. But that doesn’t mean God provides no answers about pain. In fact, there is much we are told about difficult seasons. And when we understand what God does share with us, it turns seasons of difficulty into seasons of expectation.

This is one of those markers of the Christian faith that is miraculous that that we can have joy regardless of the circumstances, we can be marked by this joyous, thriving, that no matter what's going on, we can wake up and say, You know what, I'm just so full of joy.

There's something that you've been given. Not something that you earned. Something of infinite greater value than money or material things. We've been given the opportunity to worship the living God. And if we squander that opportunity that would be the greatest tragedy imaginable.

How many health ads have you seen where someone, in really good shape, offers to tell you their own secret? Like a million? There’s a reason those are so powerful. People want what they’ve found. But there’s an author, calling out from an ancient text. He longs for you to have what he’s got. He offers it to you. And honestly… it’s what you’ve always deeply longed for.

What can we do to thrive together. There are a few simple next steps we can take. Hear these practical steps and some powerful inspiring stories along the way.

Our world right now has a thirst for unity. But does it have the substance to materialize it? Jesus did a unifying work that is so profound it is still at work today. What could be done if we realized unity starts with our identity.

Batman. A vigilante that wars against criminal powers. But does he fight for justice or just have a thirst for revenge? It is possible to have so much that aligns with good, but have deeper motivations that are off. And that is not just true of the Dark Knight...

There is this drive deep down that knows that our purpose in life is for something greater than what we can imagine. That there is a mission, some greater cause than ourselves. The reality is that we cannot have a fulfilling life until we have given it away to this mission. So what is the mission?

The Kingdom of Heaven is a phrase Jesus often used to describe what life is like when God reigns as King and when people live under His rule. This Kingdom has a key and a code. There’s a key you must have before you can even open the entrance into the Kingdom, and there is a code that defines those who belong to the Kingdom. In Matthew 5, Jesus begins his most famous sermon by unlocking for us the...

7-4-21 Origins, Part 3: A Gospel Centered Life by City Rev Church

Whether we realize it or not, every person has something “ultimate” that we are living for. Maybe it is success or possessions or comfort or pleasure. Whatever it is, everyone has something. But is it the right thing? Life is precious. Make sure your ultimate thing is the right one.

We want to see God move in our lives. We want to see His miracles. We want to see His provision. But do we know what that usually requires? Faith is action before the provision. Are we willing to take that step?

If we're honest, oftentimes we love the 'idea' of love more than actually receiving or giving it. There's a lot of reasons why this seems to be the case, but each reason leads us down the same road, missing out on the depths and dynamics of love in our lives. The scriptures invite us down a different road and on a different journey where we can encounter stunning, sobering, settling and even unner...

“Like a moth to a flame,” we say. We all need a guiding light. But where do we find that light? And how do we handle those who are guided by something different? To navigate through our modern culture we must have answers to this question. Survival is at stake...
