This week we're exploring the profound truth of God as "The Lord our Righteousness." Pastor Mark shares insights from the book of Jeremiah, highlighting God's unwavering righteousness and its significance for us today. We delve into the meaning of righteousness, the steadfastness of God's promises, and how this understanding transforms our trust in Him. Speaker: Mark Seager S...

This week, we delve into the powerful meaning behind one of God's names: Jehovah-nissi, "The Lord is Our Banner." O.P. shares a personal journey of unexpected shifts and the profound realization of how God's names represent different aspects of His character. We explore the significance of a banner in biblical times and its relevance in our lives today. Learn how God serves as ou...

We delve this week into the transformative power of obedience to God's command. Through the stories of Amos and Abraham, along with personal experiences from our own community, we explore how saying "yes" to God can lead to extraordinary outcomes. We reflect on how ordinary people, like Amos, and moments in our lives, such as Jack's teaching at camp, demonstrate that our willingn...

The Bible tells us that, those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you. (Ps 9:10, NIV) God ‘s name and his titles reveal what he’s like. When you know God well, you’ll trust him for great things, your prayers will be bolder, and you’ll want to introduce him to as many people as you can. This summer, we’ll have multiple preachers taking a different nam...

1 Peter 2:9 tells us we are "a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light." What does this passage tell us about how we should live our lives today? Speaker: Mark Seager CityView is a church family that God is building to make disciples of Jesus Chri...

The measure of your faith... the richness of your prayer life... the Kingdom impact of your life... are directly proportional to your vision of God. In this message, we’ll see how an unexpected encounter with God transformed the prophet Isaiah and can do the same for us. Speaker: Mark Seager CityView is a church family that God is building to make disciples of Jesus Christ in the heart of Loudoun...

What you can’t see is more real than you think. In Daniel 10, the curtain is pulled back to reveal the unseen war that rages all around us. We’re talking about how to live with courageous hope through it all. Speaker: Mark Seager Series: Courageous Hope for an Anxious Age CityView is a church family that God is building to make disciples of Jesus Christ in the heart of Loudoun County and around th...

This week we're talking about prayer, taking a look at Daniel’s example in chapter 9. And Pastor Mark tells us the one thing that’s killed more prayer meetings than anything else.

Many of us have seen detailed charts of end-times prophecies and you may have some thoughts for decoding the apocalyptic imagery used in Daniel, Ezekiel, and Revelation. Unfortunately some Christians will part ways over prophetic interpretation, others avoid it because it’s too confusing, and some think it’s irrelevant to everyday life. We don’t have to make these mistakes. All Scripture – includi...

God so loved the world; he gave his only begotten son. This must shape how we live, as people who are loved and people who love, we are people who give. In this talk, Pastor Jason tells us how religion is loss and identity (in Christ, in the Father) is always a WIN. Speaker: Jason Rhodenhizer CityView is a church family that God is building to make disciples of Jesus Christ in the heart of Loudoun...

After 60-plus years as a captive in Babylon, Daniel saw first-hand that God is in control. But his faith was more than head knowledge, it shaped his daily life. This Sunday we’ll look beyond the lions in Daniel chapter 6 and see that Daniel stayed calm during the crisis because he’d built some good faith-driven habits into his life. When threatened with becoming lion food he knew exactly what to d...

Everyone has a story, and God is working in amazing ways. One of the most encouraging things we can do is listen to each other’s stories of how God drew us to himself. Last week we saw how a proud and powerful ruler mocked God but then after a period of suffering turned to worship the one true God. Unfortunately, his grandson only followed in the proud footsteps of his grandfather, and it didn’t e...

This week we're looking at Daniel 4, encountering one of the more bizarre stories in the Bible. Through it all, we’ll see patience and kindness displayed to one of the least deserving people in history. There’s hope for us all!

Looking forward to what lies ahead can power you through any challenge you face today. In Daniel 2, God gave Daniel a glimpse of the future and we can see it too. Trusting that God is in control and his kingdom wins will give us courageous hope today.

We’re starting a new series through the book of Daniel called, “Courageous Hope for an Anxious Age.” Daniel experienced unimaginable trauma and suffering, yet he maintained a courageous hope that influenced those around him. How did he do it? We’ll talk about three hope killers and three hope givers this Sunday from Chapter 1. Speaker: Mark Seager Series: Courageous Hope for an Anxious Age CityVie...

Trust matters. Today, many don’t trust institutions from politics to big business to church. Often these institutions give people reason for their cynicism to fester. If the leaders of an organization are untrustworthy, that organization is either already in trouble or headed for it. That’s why integrity in leaders is so important and we take that seriously here at CityView. Leading the church is...

With so many resources accessible, it’s easy to develop opinions that appear reliable. Actually, the available information can take us far in life. But there’s one area of life where we can’t make progress until we learn to trust what is outside our resources. This Sunday, we’ll consider two components that prompt progress, in this one area, when nothing else will work. Speaker: Jason Rhodenhizer...

Jesus ascended to heaven, so how can he be with us now? The disciples got used to doing life with Jesus and expected to become important players in his government when he’d overthrow the Romans. But Jesus didn’t follow their script, and instead informed them he had to die and leave them. In the same conversation, he told them it was for their good that he was going. Having the benefit of hindsight...

This Sunday, we’re talking about the Power of Adoption. When you know who you are you’ll understand why you’re here. As children of God, we have some incredible privileges and responsibilities!

Che...

Gideon was an unexpected hero and leader in Israel’s history. He was a judge (leader) who you can read more about in the book of Judges, chapters 6-8. His background and social standing would not have tipped you to the great role he played in biblical history. But he had one thing going for him. His transformation from zero to hero began when the angel of the Lord encountered him and said, “The Lo...

Why Jesus came is why we’re here. Our mission today has not changed since Jesus assigned it to the Church over 2000 years ago. It’s worth pausing to think about it and make sure we’re aligned with God’s purpose.
