City Church St. Pete

In times of trouble or in times of rescue, what prevents us from thanking God? Psalm 107 helps us to see the answer!

Join City Church as we learn about confession and forgiveness from Psalm 32!

Psalm 30 was used for the dedication of the temple and later sung at the Festival of Lights. But what does it mean for us and how does it point to Jesus? Listen in with City Church as we find out.

Psalm 110 is the most quoted Psalm by the writers of the New Testament. But why was it written in the first place and what does it teach us about Jesus? Listen in with City Church as we study this psalm together. *note this is a recording of our entire service*

Psalm 103 invites us to stir up and and wonder at the steadfast love of God! Listen in and be stirred!

Listen in with City Church as we hear the ancient Hebrew psalm of confession. 

Psalm 13 is a raw and honest prayer asking God "how long" and demanding answers from Him. How should this change the way that we pray and do we find these sorts of prayers on the lips of Jesus? Listen in with City Church as we study together.

Self-control is not just a christian virtue, but one shared broadly in our culture. Are there differences in the goals and intentions of our self control and our neighbors and how does Jesus fit in with that? Listen along with City Church as we find out.

Gentleness is a forgotten virtue and a fruit of the Spirit that is often neglected. Join City Church as we learn to take on Jesus yoke which will lead us toward this fruit in our lives.

Join City Church as we consider the ways the the Holy Spirit can grow faithfulness in our lives!

Particularization is the fancy word for a Presbyterian church being recognized as its own entity, governed by its own elders. This sermon on the Parable of the Wheat and the Weeds was preached by Rev. Drew Bennet on the occasion of the particularization of City Church.

In our times, goodness is seen as a subjective descriptor. But what is the objective thing that God is growing in the hearts of His people? Listen along with City Church!

Listen along with City Church as we hear how the Holy Spirit grows kindness in our hearts through our repentance and faith.

City Church looks together at the 4th fruit of the Spirit, peace. Apologies for the audio quality this week, the live stream was unstable.

How can we have peace with God? And what about a sense of inward peace? How do both of these things point us to the ways that we have peace with one another? Listen in with City Church as we seek the answers to all of these questions!

How is Joy different from happiness and what does it have to do with suffering? Listen in with City Church as we see how looking to Jesus changes our outlook on life.

As Christians we have heard that we ought to love one another and love God too many times to count. But does our familiarity with this command keep us from understanding it? Listen in as we see the high calling to love that we have received and the resources we have in Jesus to live in love!

James concludes his letter by calling us to see our whole lives as spiritual and in need of God's guidance. But more than that he calls us to enter into the labor that Jesus is already doing!

As James begins to wrap up his letter, he gives a warning to the wealthy as well as Christians enduring hard times. Listen in with City Church as we hear about the simple faithfulness to Jesus we are called to.

James brings together the way that we speak of others with the ways that we make plans. But how do these two things show us the way that we shortchange Jesus and place ourselves on His throne? Listen along with City Church as we hear together.

James shows the way that our misdirected desires harm our faith and those around us. In addition, our pride separates us from God. How do we overcome these twin vices? Through the freely given grace of Jesus!

James shows the difference between the wisdom that comes from God and the wisdom that is from earth (or worse!). Listen along with us as we see how that wisdom works and how it points us to Jesus.

Our tongue is such a meaningful part of our life. In this passage James show the dangers of our tongue. Listen with City Church as we hear God's Word.

**Note: Our streaming glitches persist, so there are some gaps in this recording** What is the connection between our faith and our actions? Does James contradict Paul when Paul says we are saved by faith alone? Join City Church as we hear this important wake up call from James.

***Note: The internet/recording feed was inconsistent this week and so there are missing portions of this sermon.*** What is partiality and why is it wrong? Is it just something that is wrong in the lives of others, or do we fall victim to this as well? Listen in with City Church as we hear God's Word.
