Bright City Church Sermons

We don't just go to church, we ARE the church! Which is a handy realization when "snowmageddon" hits the PNW. Despite the school district canceling all weekend happenings (including our gathering), we still have ways to be encouraged collectively by God's word. Hence, this video! Our friend, Josh Siegel, will share a brief but timely word with us about what God has truly called us to, and what our...

If the things Jesus say about Himself are reliable, then we too can live lives that speak reliably about Him.

Who has authority in your life? Are there voices that shouldn’t? What if Jesus is asking you to trust that his authority is what you actually need?

We all desperately desire rest. Chances are, you’re not getting the kind of rest you need. Fortunately, God has a method that, should we take it seriously, could change our lives entirely.

In John 5, we find a story about Jesus healing someone who wasn’t expecting it. But stories like this often address more than what’s on the surface. When Jesus heals, he’s always pointing towards a greater healing that is yet to happen.

When Jesus offers “rest” to the weary in Matthew 11, what does that actually look like? It looks like an invitation — not to living idle, but to living with intentionality and purpose.

Hey there, church! I'm so glad you decided to check out the resources we've made you for this Sunday. Even though we're not physically together this weekend, our hope is to equip you with useful tools to enjoy "church at home" wherever you're at. Up top is a 15-minute message to help you think through your approach to starting 2019. I've included a "Goal Setting Guide" PDF that accompanies the mes...

Imagine what it would have felt like to be present for that first Christmas. What would it have felt like for Joseph? The Wise Men? Those who opposed Jesus? This Christmas, you’re invited to get curious, to put yourself in their shoes and to consider your own perspective of a sacred holiday.

Life for Joseph and Mary on that first Christmas was nothing like they had expected or planned for. Ultimately, God’s plan was to exceed their expectations, and inevitably, ours.

Following Jesus is less about what you get and more about who you're with.

"What you direct your life towards is where your worship happens.” Your life reflects what you value most. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The problem isn’t that we worship, the problem is where we aim our worship. To find real satisfaction life, it's imperative that we direct our worship towards Jesus.

In our culture, humility is overrated, yet it's precisely what the Kingdom of God is built upon. In the life of John the Baptist, we see that biblical humility looks like taking a backseat and joyfully pointing our entire lives towards Jesus.

The love of God is unlike any other love in this world. It’s pursuing, it’s sacrificial, and it’s for everyone.

No matter how good or bad you think you are, you’ll never experience all that God has for you while relying on what you bring to the table. You need new credentials entirely, and Jesus shows us the way.

Guest speaker Ryan Williams of Foundation Church shares how Jesus’ angry outburst in the temple reveals an important element of pure and authentic worship.

Jesus' first miracle was turning water into wine. How much more amazing that He can clean us up and transform us into something entirely different.

Depression tries to convince us that God is nowhere to be found. FALSE. You are never outside God’s reach, no matter how low you feel.

You may have lived life riddled with anxieties of all kinds. It can feel so isolating. But you’re not alone. The Gospel guarantees it.

God is on a mission and its our mission to join Him on His.

When we see something great, our inclination is to respond accordingly. If worship is our response to having seen God, it's imperative that we see him afresh.

If the Gospel is really "good news," then why do statements like "for God so loved the world" often seem cliche? Maybe we've missed the power these familiar words hold. Maybe God's love is better than we realize.

You have a God who knows your past, present, and future, and he not only saves you, he equips you for battle.

When we’re bombarded with lies, feeling isolated, or just looking for protection, the shield of faith is the resource we need.

When life feels shaky and the enemy is trying to get us off balance, we need the Gospel of peace to secure our footing.
