Christ City Church Memphis

How can one find satisfaction in life? Listen in as we encounter a pair of lesser-known figures in the early life of Jesus that provide some answers in part one of this two-part series.

In your life you will face times where you say to yourself, “How can this be?” Sometimes this will be because of a good you scarcely imagined possible other times it’s because of tragedy. Sometimes the trust required to believe in the good mingles with a terrible fear of the potential of tragedy. The birth of Jesus, the Christ, was like this. Listen in as we ponder the “How can this be?” of this s...

When we enter Advent, we are entering into a season full of waiting and tension. But within this waiting and tension, we also find that there is great hope in a world to come.

How can we expectantly wait for change while experiencing a discouraging delay? 2nd Peter has some ideas that might help.

Have you ever said, “Why do You let this happen?” or “Will You please fix this!” to God, and you are still waiting for an answer? Are you still waiting for God to “show up”? If so, this message is for you.

What happens in the end? Do my decisions matter? Is it all up to believing the right things? This parable in Matthew gives us a lot to think about when we ask ourselves the question “How will my life be seen in light of eternity?”

There is great hope in the promise that with God, death does not have the last word. Today we look at how this promise can impact our lives today.

"Choose you this day whom you will serve" has nothing (ok, a little) to do with who you vote for. How can Christians living in 2020 lay aside generations of beliefs, idols, and cultural norms and reclaim their identity as the chosen, beloved family of God? Join us as we unpack Joshua's final challenge to the Israelites!

As we observe All Saints Day together, we ask the question- “Who is a saint? How is the task of the saint different from what is typically expected from an American Christian? Is it something we can participate in?” Listen in to join us.

Some of us are rule followers by default, and others tend toward breaking the rules. Regardless of where we land, we are all more likely to follow the authority of someone or something when it is personally compelling to us. What happens when something becomes so compelling that when we share it, it doesn’t stop there, but we end up sharing ourselves as well. Spoiler alert, we’re talking about the...

Eavesdropping on Moses' conversation with God arguing for His presence to go with the Jewish people as they go to the promised land. We begin to consider how we are wrestling with God. What jagged, hard edges are pressing against us inside the cleft of the rock? Then we remember God's hand covering us and seeing God's back in the afterward.

When we trust that God is bigger than our impulses, wiser than our anxiety, and has more to give than what we have; we can live a life brimming with faith and courage. We can follow leaders who believe in what life could be and never resign ourselves to the “golden calf" of what is.

In these epic scenes in the Old Testament and New Testament we encounter one of life's fundamental questions. Listen in and take some time to reflect so that you might live life more fully and deeply.

Have you ever thought, “One day I’ll be full enough of- comfort, information, experience, prestige, safety, and rightness ? Then I’ll be okay. Then I’ll be safe, whole and right”? Did it ever happen? What if filling yourself up isn’t the solution, but you can find what you need by emptying yourself. Listen in to learn more.

What you are experiencing right now will soon be the past. As individuals, and collectively, our past can bind us or lead us into a future of freedom and hope. Christ City Church has experienced ten years of triumph and defeat, pain and glory, sadness, and joy. Join us as we explore what it means to celebrate and grieve the past so we can live in the present and imagine a new future.

The story of a missionary kid growing up on the US, Mexico border where language strains to connect and the fringes hold undiscovered possibilities of a God who speaks. Special Guest Stacie Martin

In this final episode, the conversation concludes with a discussion on the permeation of white supremacy and privilege and a foundation for allyship.

How do you handle conflict? -Political, religious, personal, online, in-person? Are there relationships that you’ve lost over a single argument that got out of hand? Jesus knew arguments, grievances, and hurt were inevitabilities in every person’s life, and he gave the church wisdom to navigate it. If you could benefit from tools to work through conflict with others, this message is for you.

As the conversation continues Robbyn and Jamin discuss the narrative context for protest and the exclusion of blackness.

Choosing presence often begins with curiosity that leads to courage. Curiosity beckons us to be open past what we have been taught and experienced. This curiosity leads to courage enabling us to engage beyond the milieu. This kind of engagement changes our recognition of ourselves, God, and others. Join us as we explore presence through Moses’ example.

Join Robbyn Abedi as he interviews Jamin Carter on growing up biracial and the journey to becoming a black pastor and activist.

The Hospitable Mind : a journey toward a Christianity grounded in relationship and dignity.  Join us as pastor Jamin interviews one of CCC’s elders Rachel Remington as they discuss life, work, faith and a vision for the future of our church.

Do our actions matter? Is everything predetermined? How do I judge and interpret things like accidents and natural disasters? Does God prefer to use bad things to accomplish good? Join us as we wrestle through these timeless questions.

Faith is risky and requires vulnerability. This can feel strange to some of us that have grown up with a “faith” used mainly as a tool to produce religious conformity. A faith that is neither risky nor vulnerable. Explore with us a gospel story that can give inspiration and hope to practice faith in an uncertain world.

Being sincere is not the same as being right. Being right doesn’t make someone else wrong. Having convictions about what you believe about Jesus and God can bring division where you’d hope to find unity. How do we respond?
