As we wrap up this series, we’re taking a look at the already-not-yet reality of the Kingdom of God and the invitation to both participate and hope now, and forever.

The perceived gap between promise and experience in the way of Jesus can sometimes be so pervasive we lose hope, anticipation, and expectation. What does it look like to step into the promises of Jesus as the lived, normal experience of the Christian life? What does it take to pull the stories and promises we have from Jesus and the early church off the pages of scripture and into our daily lives?...

“In the beginning”, God speaks (Gen. 1) but does God still speak today? Lean in as we continue our conversation around the Spirit’s work in our lives, specifically through the gift of prophecy.

When God speaks he creates; he brings life. When God filled humanity with his breath, he told them to partner with him and go on doing the same thing: create. But when tempted to trust in themselves rather than God and rely on their own breath rather than God’s, Adam and Eve reached for what seemed like freedom, only to find it to be slavery. That reality continues to hum along in the human condit...

There’s a few primary metaphors we see in scripture to describe the Holy Spirit: one is water. With this metaphor comes the reality of God’s presence through the Spirit intersecting the familiar brokenness of the human condition bringing wholeness, healing, and life.

Jesus said that it was actually better for us as followers that He would go away because in leaving, He was sending the Holy Spirit (John 16). Really? That’s better? Because if we’re being honest, given the chance to exchange our current experience up to this point of following Jesus with a face to face moment with Him—which one would most people likely lean toward? There seems to be a gap between...

We’re wrapping up our series with the reminder that to go forward, sometimes we have to go back. The reality is that there are some patterns of thinking and behavior that we’ve carried on from our past that are unhealthy and out of line with the way of Jesus, and we need to break them in order to move forward. But there are also things from our past we need to identify and celebrate. What does it...

Everyone loves a good story. It could also be argued that everyone is living into and from a story—the kicker is if we can attach that little word “good” to ours…but that’s the hope right? Bobette Buster argues that we are “narrative animals’, that we are hard-wired to look and live from meaning. The problem is that sometimes we attach our stories to false narratives that deeply impact how we rela...

The desire to change some of our default ways of relating is a pretty common and shared experience, however many of us have tried to change through conscious effort and will power again and again, only to end up with similar results. So what’s the way forward? Through self-clarity, knowing our story and where we come from and sharing our story with others, all in relationship with God, the One who...

As we organize our lives around following Jesus, part of the intentional work around “who we are becoming” is directly linked to our ability to understand where we come from. Our present is shaped by our past; and it’s really difficult to deal with, grow through, and allow God to change what you can’t see.

As we continue our series, “Life Beneath The Surface”, we’re taking a look at how following Jesus can intersect a common struggle across the human condition; a struggle that can show up in a multitude of expressions and come from a variety of sources: anxiety.

As we continue the journey of digging into life beneath the surface, we come up against the struggle around forgiveness; giving it, receiving it, and being formed by it.

As we learn to more fully apprentice under Jesus, we must learn to integrate our whole lives, including some of the harder to name and possibly intentionally untouched stuff. This week, we have Dr. Tamara Powell from CU Denver joining us to talk about grief as we continue our series, “Life Beneath the Surface.” CITY CHURCH EXISTS TO HELP PEOPLE FIND THEIR WAY TO GOD FROM WHERE THEY ARE. You can fi...

As we continue on this journey of life beneath the surface, we look to Jesus both for the invitation into life WITH him but also the model on how to become LIKE Him. We looked at the daily practice of silence and solitude last week. This week, we will look at the weekly practice of Sabbath.

The desire to change… it’s in all of us to varying degrees. But actually changing… that’s a whole other matter entirely. Dallas Willard says “If we are to be transformed, the body must be transformed, and that is not accomplished by talking at it.” But how often has that been the strategy? The consistent conclusion both from the life of Jesus as well as two millennia of church history is that amon...

The invitation from Jesus to “follow me” was not only an invitation to be with Him, but to “follow Jesus together”. Becoming like Jesus and doing what He did are both deeply tied to the practices we adopt and the community we practice alongside.

“New Year, New Me.” It’s a bit cliche; maybe a bit outdated; and it’s almost biblical. We are all becoming someone; whether who we are becoming is intentional or not cannot be left to wishful thinking or assumption. Our character arc over the course of a year is probably anything but “up and to the right” when left unattended. There’s definitely a “new me” as we step into 2024, but what if it’s no...

We’re kicking off the new year with one of our church planting partners, Bryson McGuire, sharing a helpful message of approach and posture| as we consider practicing the way of Jesus together in Boulder on this new trip around the sun.

Maybe you’re in a place where a longing is developing inside of you this advent season. Maybe there’s something inside you that would say, “I want to see, and hear, and know God more deeply.” Maybe not. Maybe you WISH that was the longing inside you, but if you were to be honest… it’s just not. Whichever side of the longing equation you fall on, there’s a question we can ask, maybe that we must as...

As we continue on this Advent journey, we look at John, the cousin of Jesus, and how he invites us to respond to the arrival of Jesus.

Advent literally means “arrival” - the season of advent is one where we create space to reflect on the arrival of Jesus and one where we allow that reflection to uniquely shape us as Jesus followers. On that first Christmas night, the most important thing to ever happen in human history was happening. Simultaneously, the world kept turning and most people totally missed it. Advent is an opportunit...
