As the moral direction of our culture continues moving further from any Christian moorings it had, how should we respond? Biblical Christianity is no longer seen as respectable. How can we make a difference for good when the culture’s attitude toward Christianity is getting more antagonistic? We’ll get some wisdom from an ancient letter in the book of Jeremiah. Speaker: Mark Seager Series: For the...

Our mission at CityView is to make disciples of Jesus Christ by helping people take the next step to knowing, loving, and following him. This means we have to get out into the city around us to show and share the love of Jesus Christ. We want to be a blessing to our community and to further this endeavor, we’re starting a new series called “For the City”. Jesus left his perfect city to enter our f...

Our mission is to make disciples of Jesus Christ by helping people take the next step to knowing, loving, and following him. It is a journey, but we’re not alone. We have One called alongside us who will guide us along the way and guarantees we’ll reach the ultimate destination. We're talking about the Holy Spirit and some of the fantastic things he does for us. Speaker: Mark Seager CityView i...

Choosing the correct path is never about the condition of the path, but always about the direction it is taking you. Right and wrong paths look similar. They both have hills, turns and potholes. The difference is the direction. You’ll know the difference based on the correction and instruction God gives along the way. The better you know Him, the more clearly you’ll understand the difference betwe...

Our mission always has been and always will be to make disciples of Jesus Christ, which means we help people take the next step toward knowing, loving, and following him better. This Sunday, we're focusing on following Christ – doing something about what we believe. We're talking about the invitation to follow Christ, the cost of following Christ, and guidance for following Christ. Speaker...

We’re continuing our series: Discipleship|Taking the next step to knowing, loving, and following Jesus Christ. We are all called to be disciples of Jesus Christ and we can all take another step to knowing, loving, and following him. This Sunday, we’ll talk about our heart because it drives what we do. Speaker: Mark Seager Series: Discipleship - Taking the next steps to knowing, loving, and followi...

We are all called to be disciples of Jesus Christ. Discipleship is not intended for the elite Special Forces of Churchworld – it’s for all believers! It doesn’t matter if you’ve been a Christian for 1 day or 50 years; you can always take another step to knowing, loving, and following Christ as you go throughout your day. Speaker: Mark Seager Series: Discipleship - Taking the next steps to knowing,...

After Easter, what? The disciples experienced the most stupendous event in history – Jesus’ resurrection. That’s an unbeatable mountaintop experience. But they also endured a lot of monotonous normal life and had to wait longer than they wanted for some of the blessings Jesus promised. How can you thrive when you want something and don’t have it? What if your life is not nearly as exciting as the...

Jesus really rose from the dead – an honest look at the science and the history confirms it. The resurrection turned history upside down and changed everything!

Did you know the first Palm Sunday was an open yet unconventional rebellion against the power of Rome? It was part of the coup d’état to establish the only kingdom that’ll last forever. The war is still going on, and everyone is invited to join the winning side. Speaker: Mark Seager CityView is a church family that God is building to make disciples of Jesus Christ in the heart of Loudoun County an...

What if Jesus stood in front of you and said he’d do one thing for you? What would you ask him for? Or maybe you’re annoyed with God for not answering your fervent pleas for the one thing you want more than anything else. This Sunday, we’ll see this tension play out as a man has an unexpected encounter with Jesus in Mark 2:1-12. Speaker: Mark Seager CityView is a church family that God is building...

The “St. Patrick” that our culture celebrates on St. Patrick’s Day would be unrecognizable to the real Patrick. The truth is that Patrick was a real person who lived by faith, responded in obedience to God, and saw God transform a country. Let's talk about the real Patrick and learn some things we can apply right here, right now. Speaker: Mark Seager CityView is a church family that God is bui...

The Tower of Babel is about much more than a big building project. It’s a true story that also pictures a bigger and ongoing conflict. In this message, Pastor Mark talks about the account and explores its implication for us today. Speaker: Mark Seager Series: Foudations: Genesis 1-11 CityView is a church family that God is building to make disciples of Jesus Christ in the heart of Loudoun County a...

Noah’s Ark and the Flood is a well-known story in church circles. It was a real event in history in which God decided that sin had gotten so bad on the earth that he was going to wipe out everyone. Yet in the midst of his judgment, he chose to show mercy and grace to one man and his family, Noah. God’s grace shows up in unlikely places and ways. Speaker: Mark Seager Series: Foudations: Genesis 1-1...

Sin comes in many different shapes, sizes, and forms. And honestly, we’re all experts at sin but we know we shouldn’t be. Why is sin so hard to avoid, and why do we stumble into it so often? We’re told we have “victory in Jesus,” but how can we experience it in the real world? How does sin work and how can we beat it? Speaker: Mark Seager Series: Foudations: Genesis 1-11 CityView is a church famil...

Some call it the “ultimate contradiction.” Why does human knowledge base growing exponentially, yet mankind doesn’t get any better? We can put a man on the moon, are developing artificial intelligence, and see stunning new medical technology; yet we still lock our doors at night, protect our accounts with passwords, and multiple wars are being waged around the world. Our technology gets better but...

Last week we heard how God describes marriage from Genesis 2. But what makes a marriage strong, and what are some practical steps we can take? Does marriage matter if I’m not married? Pastor Mark walks us through these questions and more. Speaker: Mark Seager Series: Foudations: Genesis 1-11 CityView is a church family that God is building to make disciples of Jesus Christ in the heart of Loudoun...

We are experiencing a moral revolution. What was once generally accepted and taken for granted is now marginalized and even condemned by some. We talk about what marriage is from Genesis 2. How can we be faithful witnesses to God’s standard when the world rejects it? We must love our neighbors in Truth, Love, and Humility. Speaker: Mark Seager Series: Foudations: Genesis 1-11 CityView is a church...

This Sunday, we’ll talk about 3 things the Bible says about you from the Creation account.  How you respond to these truths affects every decision you make. Sermon notes are attached and will be available on YouVersion by 10am Sunday morning.

A building stands or falls because of its foundation.  Likewise, the quality of our life depends on the foundation it rests upon.  Jesus said in Matthew 7:24-27 that the extent of our wisdom or folly will be revealed by what we build our life upon.  So, we’re going back to the beginning to mine the first 11 chapters of Genesis for truth to build our lives upon.  This weekend, t...
