City First Church Messages

You were made for more! Do you want a powerful, purpose-driven life? Let Jesus in! Pastor Kyle challenges us to let Jesus into every area of our lives, and not just on Sundays. Let Him into your calendar, your wallet, your wounds, your decisions, and your identity.

Have you ever wondered WHY you were born WHEN you were born? God wired you to fulfill a specific purpose for this exact time and place. Without you, something would be missing from your generation!

Your purpose isn’t about striving to be perfect or get it all together. Your God-given purpose is to become more and more like Jesus, little by little, each day!

Alone time is great… for a while. But we weren’t designed to do life alone! We all need a place to belong. Discover how real purpose in life is found within the family of God!

"What is my purpose in life?" We’ve all asked this question at some point. The truth is, you were designed by your Creator ON purpose and FOR a divine purpose. Pastor Jeremy shows us how to dial into what we were made for!

We celebrate Palm Sunday and Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem for Passover week. Traditionally, Palm Sunday kicks off Holy Week, which are the days leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection. These events shaped history and transformed lives forever!

In life, people will always offend us. But you don’t have to fall into the trap that's guaranteed to steal your peace and joy– the trap of taking up an offense. It may seem impossible, but Pastor Jeremy explains how you can be unoffendable!

We like an easy, struggle-free life but also want a meaningful life. You simply can’t have both. It's time to leave the “comfort trap” and begin fulfilling your God-given purpose!

We are all critics and have also been criticized. If we’re not careful, both can turn into toxic traps! Pastor Kyle unpacks several powerful ways to overcome debilitating criticism and stop being so critical.

We’ve all heard the saying, “Show me your friends, and I’ll show you your future.” It’s true! At every stage of faith, who we choose to have as our friends matters. Pastor Jen shows us how to have healthy, life-giving friendships.

It’s easy to love our friends, but what about the people we don’t really like? Pastor Jeremy helps us see, through Jesus’ example, how to love those who are tough to love—no likes required.

Parenting is tough! And strong, healthy families don’t happen by accident. It takes intentionality. Pastor Lisa Seaton unpacks practical tools for building healthy, Christ-centered family relationships.

Pastors Jeremy and Jen give real-life advice based on their 30+ years together on what it takes to have a healthy marriage. Discover several key principles that can be applied to any relationship.

We all get hurt and offended throughout our lives. But we have a choice: to hold on to the offense or choose to forgive. Forgiveness doesn’t erase the hurt that was caused; it’s a choice to break free from its grip and not let it run your life!

All relationships are messy. But they don’t have to be! So, how do we uncomplicate things? It will take some work, but placing Jesus instead of ourselves at the center of our key relationships is a great place to start.

Pastor Jeremy expands on the theme of the Second Great Awakening– true salvation should lead to a transformed life, which, in turn, should inspire social change. As God changes you, that change changes the world around you!

Pastor Jeremy kicks off our new series, “Awaken,” with an important reminder– God wants a very real and personal relationship with each one of us. God doesn’t merely want to help us behave better in 2025; He wants to bring a fresh work of His spirit into our hearts and revival into our souls!

Pastor Lisa reflects on this past year and celebrates the amazing things God has done in and through City First Church!

Christmas reminds us of God's unconditional love for us. God sent His Son to be the light of the world– to be our Rescuer! If you come into the light, you will find a Savior who will rescue you from sin, and bring hope, no matter what you are going through.

Pastor Jen reminds us of this beautiful truth– Christmas means that Love came down to Earth. Jesus, the Son of God, came down from heaven to connect with us on a very real and personal level!

When people are weary, God's people show up with faith, generosity, and with eternity in mind. This Legacy Weekend, we celebrate what God did in 2024 through your generosity while believing for even greater things in 2025!

We all understand that Christmas can be complicated. There is often a gap between our reality and our expectations of the Christmas season. Pastor Lisa Season explains how we have a unique opportunity to invite God into our mess, surrender the chaos, and embrace joy during the holidays!
