City Alive Church

Josh teaches from numerous stories about the extraordinary power of Jesus to heal. Healing isn't something we can produce on our own. When Jesus comes, healing comes.

This week Joey teaches about Jesus as our healer. When we are alone and helpless, Jesus comes to us right where we are and heals us.

Joey teaches about how Christ the King is Lord of the unseen realm. Jesus delivers us from the powers of darkness which enslave us to sin, because he overcame them through his victorious death.

In this first episode of a new series on the miracles of Jesus, Joey teaches about how the gospel is a story of water to wine. We give him what little we have, and he transforms us into something new. Through Jesus, the victory of God has come and the party is just getting started.

This week Jason teaches about spiritual gifts that are given to every believer by the Holy Spirit. We should earnestly desire these gifts and use them to serve Christ's body in love.

This week Joey teaches about the social implications of being in Christ. Because we've been united with Jesus in his death and resurrection, we are also united with all those who are in Christ too.

This week we start a new series on identity! The primary identity of the believer is in Christ. We are crucified in him, risen in him, and ascended in him.

This Resurrection Sunday we celebrate Jesus as the crucified and risen Lord, and the new life we have in him.

This well-known proverb anchors us through the years, grounding us in the Lord. It talks about how when we steward our heart, our understanding, and our ways, God will direct our paths.

This week Joey teaches about navigating life's unexpected storms. We don't know why God allows them. But we can overcome them by keeping our eyes fixed on the Son of God, because the waves will always be under his feet.

This week as we wrap up Abraham's story, we see the Lord test Abraham. In this passage we learn that Yahweh is Jireh, Provider. And his ultimate provision is a substitute sacrifice in our place.

This week we finally see the long-awaited fulfillment of the promise of God: Isaac. The birth of Isaac teaches us about a God who does the impossible and brings life out of dead places.

This week we see Abraham walk in his calling as a priest to the nations. He stands in the gap for a wicked city. We see not only God's justice, but also his unbelievably generous grace.

This past Sunday we had a unique and powerful service. We had our agenda but the Holy Spirit had his own. For the entire service our altars were full of people seeking the Lord. Joey didn't preach but shared a few thoughts from Psalm 63. Check out the livestream on Facebook or YouTube to watch the full service.

At the age of 99, God again appears to Abram and tells him that his promises for him are about to come true. But first, God wants to set him apart, make him holy, and give him a new name.

As we continue Abraham's journey, we see what happens when we try to make the promise of God work on our terms and timing. But for those who know their great need for God, the Lord reveals himself as the El-Roi, God Who Sees.

For the next few weeks we are back into the Story of God series, exploring Abraham's walk with God. This week we talk about a mysterious and profound encounter Abraham has with Yahweh.

This week Josh teaches about the radical generosity of God. When we are changed by God's generosity to us, our lives will begin to overflow in contentment, generosity, and joy.

In our final week of the Forward Series, Joey explores the third commitment every Christian must make: a commitment to being on mission with the risen Jesus.

In this second part of our series on Philippians 2, Joey teaches about how the only way we truly move forward is to be in community with others. Even though many would rather move on without it, we believe in the church because we believe in Jesus as its Cornerstone, its Head, and its Groom.

In this series based on Philippians 2, Joey teaches about how we can move forward individually and corporately. Above all, we start with a confession that the crucified, risen, and ascended Jesus is the world's reigning Lord. 

This New Year's Day we talk about the new opportunities we have. Success for 2023 isn't defined by this year's circumstances or by how those circumstances make us feel. True success this year is: giving glory to our Father, following King Jesus, and encountering the Holy Spirit.

In our final Advent sermon, Joey talks about Jesus as the Living One, who has conquered death and given us new life.

This week we explore the stunning reality that the Light of God has come. God's Light is a person who has pursued us in our darkness. For all eternity we will enjoy the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

As we start our Advent Series, we anticipate the coming of Christ. We look forward to the One who satisfies the deepest longings of our hearts: Christ our Bread.
