City on a Hill Provo

Join us today as Pastor Rudy continues on in Isaiah chapter 6 with Isaiah’s vision of God. Isaiah confesses his uncleanliness and ruin because of his fallen and sinful nature. He is undone being in the presence of God’s perfect and holy nature. But God takes away his iniquity in all of His goodness, “Behold, this [coal] has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away and your fin is forgive...

Join us today as pastor Rudy preaches on God’s awesome holiness! Continuing in Isaiah chapter 6, Isaiah describes what he sees after the death of King Uzziah. He describes the seraphim crying out, saying, “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of hosts, The earth is full of His glory” (Isaiah 6:3). Isaiah glorifies God, Who is good and worthy of praise by all of His creation, both in His justice and His me...

This week, Pastor Rudy continues his sermons in the book of Isaiah!

Join us today as Pastor Rudy preaches on the JUSTICE of God in Isaiah. God’s people have rejected their God, the Lord of hosts, and He now stretches His hand out against them. “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes And clever in their...

A day late, but: Happy Independence Day! Join us this Sunday as pastor Rudy preaches on our God-given freedoms and the Biblical foundation our country was built on. The founding fathers understood the necessity of God’s hand in the creation of our nation and relied on the Bible and prayer to assure that we would be set free of the role of England. Much like our freedom here in America, God has fre...

Good morning and Happy Father’s Day! Join us today as Pastor Rudy preaches on the importance of fathers being present in the home, both physically and relationally, and how the relationship between fathers and their children reflects that of God the Father and God the Son. The influence of fathers on their children affect their legacy for generations, for better or for worse. Whereas an ungodly fa...

Welcome to the month of June! This communion Sunday, Pastor Rudy returns to us with an energetic message focused on the vast swath of ‘irregular’ happenings in our country today, titled “The Bible, Race & the Gospel!”

Join us today as Kerry preaches on the Day of Pentecost! We read in Acts  chapter 2 about how the Lord comes again, 50 days after His  resurrection with a noise “like a violent rush of wind… and there  appeared to them tongues as of fire distributing themselves, and they  rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy  Spirit…” (Acts 2:2-4). Kerry goes...

Join us today as Pastor Rudy preaches on judgment! We continue in Isaiah chapter 3 where God declares that He will remove the things that His people esteem highly in their eyes: "Both supply and support, the whole supply of bread And the whole supply of water; The mighty man and the warrior, The judge and the prophet, The diviner and the elder, The captain of fifty and the honorable man, The couns...

Join us today as Pastor Rudy preaches on the Day of Reckoning! As we continue reading through Isaiah, God’s wrath is upon His people. He has turned against all of the things that they have done and have boasted in their own works rather than giving God the glory. “For the Lord of hosts will have a day of reckoning Against everyone who is proud and lofty And against everyone who is lifted up, that...

Happy Mother’s Day! Pastor Rudy preaches on the significant role that women have in our society. Women have been given a great responsibility to be homemakers and child-rearers, teaching their children to be followers of Christ and becoming respectful citizens. Although the world would have you believe that a woman should focus solely on her career and personal gains, God has commanded that she is...

Pastor Rudy continued this week with his message from last, titled “God Universal! ~ Cont” Message references: -Isaiah 2:5-11 -The promise of the Spirit, Day of the Lord- Joel 2:28-32, Realized in Acts 16-18 -God will Teach- Isaiah 54:13, John 6:45 -Communion: 1 Corinthians 11:22-32

Come join us as Pastor Rudy continues through Isaiah and worship our great God! Isaiah tells us to walk in the ways of God rather than in our ways,”‘For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways my ways,’ declares the LORD” (Isaiah 55:8 NASB). Worship God by how He has declared you to worship Him, not by the way you “feel” is best to worship Him. Confess your sins to Him and become a ch...

Come join us as Rudy takes us through God’s call of repentance to sinners in Isaiah. God’s people have gone astray and have followed their own desires, thinking themselves to know better than the Almighty God. BUT GOD, in His infinite kindness and mercy, calls His people to come and reason with Him and repent of their sins so that they may become “as white as snow” (Isaiah 1:18). Do not be as the...

Happy Resurrection Day! Sunday has come and Christ has risen! Pastor Rudy focuses on the events of the third day after Christ’s sacrifice for the sin of the world that we rightly deserve to be punished for. “But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they [the women who followed Jesus] came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the...

Join us as Pastor Rudy takes kicks off Holy Week by going through the events of Palm Sunday in the synoptic gospels of the New Testament that will lead us into Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Jesus prepares His disciples for His sacrifice by telling them that they need to go to Jerusalem, where he will be “mock[ed] and scourge[d]” before He is crucified and raised on the third day (Matthew 20:18 an...

This week, although we did not meet in person as a church body, our Pastor Rudy delivers a quick but important and powerful message on the importance of remembering who is in control of all things, titled "God is in Control!"

Pastor Rudy continues in Isaiah – God’s wrath is upon His chosen people! Their sinful practices are compared to that of Sodom and Gomorrah and God will turn his eyes and ears away from them. There is still hope, though as God tells His people to turn from their wickedness and turn back to Him – to do good and reprove the evil in which they revel.

Pastor Rudy continues his opening to the book of Isaiah.

Pastor Rudy leads us into the book of Isaiah of this morning, with a message titled “The Prince of Prophets!”

In light of the perverseness of the world, where evil is being called good and good evil, God brings us peace in knowing that He is in control. Sometimes it becomes daunting when we see in the news that people are encouraging such things as murdering babies in the womb and allowing men to be women and women to be men, presenting it as "being woke" and "living your own truth." As true believers in...

As we come nearer to the time of year of the Resurrection of Christ, we need to examine ourselves and our focus of earthly versus heavenly things. It is easy to allow our fleshly desires and temptations to overshadow our will to serve God, but it is crucial to continue in self-examination so that we do not fall back into old, worldly habits. Continue in prayer and worship of God with a broken and...

Today, Pastor Rudy completes our look at Ephesians, with a message titled “The Warning! The Danger!”

This week, our Pastor Rudy finished up our overlong journey through the book of Ephesians, titled “What Paul Taught the Church!”
