CityLight Vineyard Church

How would you define your faith? One that's rooted and growing? One that's just Sunday morning? Or maybe your faith is something that you have not really given much attention to? You say you are a Christian, but what does that really mean to you?  In this teaching, Christian challenges us to have our faith deeply rooted in scripture and truth. It is good to question and to have your fait...

The story of Naaman is one that should grip us. A valiant solider, second in command to the king and yet he has leprosy. On one hand Naaman has it all! On the other, Naaman is slowly dying and nothing he has can change that. Listen, as Mandy challenges herself and each of us to realize no matter how much we have, none of it can make us whole. 

This powerful teaching will challenge you to come to church in expectation ! This teaching will encourage you to come to church ready to encounter Jesus! Church isn't an obligation. Church is a privilege! Do we come ready to hear from God through worship? Through the teaching? Through those around us? Listen, as Christian conveys the importance of meeting Jesus on Sundays! 

Think listening to podcasts is enough? Maybe you think grabbing a live worship event online will meet your aching needs? As Christians, we are called to more. Since, the beginning of the church, meeting together has always been a priority. In fact, meeting together was often dangerous for the people of the church! Despite that fact, believers met to strengthen their faith! With Covid having forced...

Church isn't supposed to be a task we fill each week or for many of us, just a few times a year. We have placed church on our, "to do" list. That is not what Jesus intended the church to be. He intended "church", to be a place where believers and non believers, could come with all of our baggage. A place we can find healing, community and to be challenged in our walk with...

As Christians, we are supposed to lead lives that are, "in the world, but not of the world..." We are supposed to be present in the world around us yet somehow challenge (in love and truth) the messages we are inundated with each day. We have taken a back seat and have allowed the church to be filled with so much "world", that the church is no longer seen as a refuge or a place...

Think you have better things to do with your time than go to church? You tell yourself, "I will listen to a podcast, read my Bible, or..." But, that isn't the same as being PART of a church family. We all need a church family. A family, that can be with us through all of the highs and lows in life.  Where we can grow in the knowledge of scripture. Where we can work together to reach...

Too often, we tell ourselves, " I am not forgiving that person, until they say they are sorry for what they did!" As a follower of Jesus, forgiveness is required on our part, even if the other person never recognizes their offense and asks us for forgiveness. Our forgiveness of others is rooted in the fact that Jesus forgave us! Col. 3:12-14, " Therefore, as God's chosen people...

Feeling stuck in your relationships?  Too often, we respond to those around us because of how we were raised or our own dysfunctions.  We keep responding in the same ways and get stuck in relationship ruts! Listen, as Christian and Brad( his Dad), talk about generational behaviors, how to change them and how to seek Jesus in it all! 

Relationships can be complicated. They take time and energy. Do we value them enough to make them a priority? Are we investing ourselves into our relationships as much as we do our jobs? Our hobbies? Our money? Let's be honest and take a real look at our relationships. Are they healthy? If not, why? Shouldn't we be investing our energy in those we love? It isn't easy to tackle relat...

Before we can even talk about loving each other, we need to go to the source of all love. How is our relationship with God? How connected are we? Do we know his love? And how can we draw upon his love to help us love others like Jesus does?

Where do we find strength and wisdom for others in our lives?

Where does your source of hope come from? When your job, family, friends, health, etc., are facing trials, where do you find hope? Do you sink into the fear of the circumstance? Do you find yourself overcome with what you see before you? Listen, as Christian extends an invitation to seek God's promises that He makes available for each of us.  In those promises, we can find fear removed. We ca...

This message concludes the series on Joseph, being the clay in God's hands. This is a powerful message with a live demonstration by Emily Hampson. Emily forms two pieces of pottery with her wheel and tools, demonstrating a powerful image of what it means to be the clay in God's hands. As she creates her pieces, Christian challenges us through scripture to be humble and allow God to form...

In this week's teaching, Tyler shares how God meet us in our woundedness and brings us healing. We have a part to play though. We can either let our past pains make us bitter, or we can walk in healing and forgiveness and allow God to use our pain to make us better.

The world we live in doesn't like to wait for anything! If what we want isn't happening now or very soon, then we often get frustrated. We begin to wonder where God is in our lives! But, waiting is often how God shapes us into who He needs us to become. It's in the waiting we have the opportunity to become more like Jesus. Are you waiting for God in an area of your life right now? I...

Is there anything in your life that is standing in the way of the dreams of God?

Listen, as Christian takes us along the journey of Joseph. Over this four week series, we will see how God used all of the, "setbacks" or "setups", in Joseph's life. God uses them to prepare Joseph and shape him into the leader he will need to be for God's plans to unfold.  How is God shaping you through the, " setbacks or setups", in your life? You don&apos...

God has a plan for your life! What do you think when you hear that? Often instead of getting excited, we think of all the reasons it might not be true. In this teaching, we'll be challenged to lean into God's plans for our life, even when we face many doubts!

Listen as Mandy Dunn, shares the story of Mary of Magdalene. Mary, was once tormented by seven demons. Her life was filled with torment and pain. But, one day Jesus healed her!

Christian offers hope through scripture, to stay the course of putting Jesus first. Reminding each of us as we come out of the pandemic, to not fill our lives with busy-ness. Rather, be intentional in our workplaces, homes, friendships, etc., Challenging us not to run the rat race of life, but to ask God what He has for us. As life goes back to somewhat normal, we each need to pause and seek all H...

This powerful teaching asks all of us to take a good look at how the church has made mistakes in offering promises that are not truly what Jesus has commanded us as followers. Too often the church has taken on political causes, and in the name of Jesus, have caused hurt and pain. Are the things we "stand for" Biblical? Or are we taking on what we think should be the mindset or cause of t...

Listen to Christian, as he challenges himself and CityLight in this message! This teaching will stretch each of us and ask us to take a good look at what we think true happiness is. Together we can learn to find the path Jesus offers and the life it will bring.
