Say “yes” to hope this Christmas season. Even when you don’t understand, just say “yes” to hope. Hope is more than a gift and more than a holiday gathering. Hope lives in you. It changes everything. Hope changes everything.

Philippians 1:6 says, "And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ." Pastor Tony encourages us that there are some things we must take with us into the new year of 2020.

In an Instagram world, we can find ourselves in a constant state of comparison which can cause us to have a negative perception of our current life circumstance. That negativity becomes sinister. If you live in the negative you will start to live as a negative person. This was just one of today's cultural struggles that Pastor Tony challenged us to leave behind as we walk into the new year.

Thanksgiving opens doors for greater seasons of opportunity in my life. So, Pastor Tony Stewart challengers his listeners to give thanks in all seasons, not just the Thanksgiving holiday. Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.

Repentance is like a magnet to the presence of God and the starting place for revival. God desires for revival to breakout in the house of God but He desires for it to start in our house first. So, if I want a spirit of revival in my life, I have to walk in humility, daily.

Pastor Carl Lentz from Hillsong, NYC stopped citylife church to breakdown and simply our understanding of the Holy Spirit. God loves us so much he’s given us 3 ways for us to communicate with him - the Trinity. God the Father INITIATES, God the Son DECLARES and God the Holy Spirit EXECUTES! The Three are equal and distinctly different, there is direct access to all three and the Holy Spirit is res...

At citylife church's FRIEND DAY, Pastor Tony delivered a message that painted an amazing picture of God's love for all. God's love is freely given and unconditional. Your past mistakes will never hinder the loving forgiveness of our Savior.

We all need the gift of the Holy Spirit which is intended for every follower of Christ. The Holy Spirit comes not only to dwell in us but also to empower us. “After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.” (Acts 4:31) It’s when we pray, He empowers us by His Spirit to SHAKE the cities we live in, RAT...

Many people struggle feeling or sensing that God is with them during their day to day activities. When trials come, God can feel so distant. Yet, the Bible teaches that because of the work of Jesus at the Cross, His atoning blood makes our lives the sanctuary where His presence rests. In this message we learn what the Bible teaches about atonement, and how God restored His presence to His people t...

Are you struggling to live for God? Perhaps you're trying to do it without His power. In this message, Pastor EJ reminds us that Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to empower us to live an Activated life. Before we can participate in God’s mission to be His witnesses, we need the power of the Holy Spirit working in us and through us. It's time for us to live Activated!

The Lord has us all on a journey to discover the greatness of God but we can only obtain it through the power of the Holy Spirit. You will never truly understand who God is unless it’s through revelation from the Holy Spirit and if you’re not living under the umbrella of God’s blessing you are living under the curse of humanity.

The fruit of the spirit is what develops and affirms the gifts of your life. Pastor continues in our "Supernatural" series with a talk about the fruits of the Spirit and how the Holy Spirit is continually maturing us in each area with each life experience.

Life can be overwhelming and too often we can struggle to keep our lives in control.t What if God has you right where He needs you? Pastor Mike is moved a recent revelation that God will often allow us to be in over our heads on purpose. It's in those moments of feeling desperate that we look to God for help because we know that without Him we cannot survive.

Condemnation is all about where I’ve been but conviction is all about where I’m going.  This week Pastor Tony teaches us that conviction comes from the Holy Spirit and prepares you for your tomorrow so that we can exhibit the fruit of the Spirit in our lives. The fruit of the spirit brings validation to our lives!

Pastor Rob Bailey stopped by citylife church to teach us all that there is no storm too severe that it could separate us from the supernatural power of our God. Even the most severe storm you will ever face is temporary.

What is supernatural? It's simply God’s SUPER being applied to our NATURAL. There’s a reason for the season you are in. You are here on purpose for a purpose!  The Holy Spirit desires to work within you wants to empower you to accomplish God's supernatural plan.

God desires to paint on the canvas of our lives the vast plans He has in store for our future but if we cling to our comfort zones we will never experience the vastness of His glory.

God uses insignificant moments to establish His will even our broken places of our journey. When we are broken, it allows the Lord to release His promises in you. When you make it through the wilderness season you can declare that God has never left you.

It takes hundreds of volunteers to make citylife church a reality each week but there is a heart and a vision that drives us to serve with excellence. Pastor Tony takes us on a journey of understanding the core values that fuel the vision of citylife church.

God said, "I am the great I AM." He didn't say He was the great "I was" or "I will be." God is the answer for our past, present and future and desires us to have faith to believe that very truth.

Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. Many times we go through life doing and doing for the praises of men, but we miss the mere fact that we honor God in all our serving. As we serve His People in word and in deed, we ultimately glorify our heavenly Father. WHATE...

And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.  Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved (Mark 16:15-16).

You belong to God. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.

Pastor Tony kicks off "The Sound" series to declare that every believer carries the sound of Christ into dark places. If the enemy can confuse a young mind to go into school and cause harm how much more could God use a believer to carry the word of God and spark breakthrough and revival. We are believing that God is calling all of us to do just that.
