Anyone brave enough to talk about politics or religion at the Thanksgiving table in a few weeks? We're looking at two essential aspects of good conversation from the book of James that can build healthy community. Speaker: Mark Seager Series: Practical Faith…Togethe...

We at CityView want to be a church that BUILDS UP one another, BLESSES our community, and SENDS people and resources for the gospel. But this seems too idealistic and doesn’t always match up with our lived reality. Why? The last book of the Old Testament has some things to say about this; so, we’ve been looking at the message of Malachi to identify and expose some common worship disorders that kee...

Our summer sermon series is “Evidence: Looking Like Jesus through the Fruit of the Spirit,” and this Sunday we’ll talk about a character trait that is essential to our mission: faithfulness. Faithfulness is not flashy, nor does it seek attention. In our fast-paced “what-have-you-done-for-me-today” world, faithfulness is the “slow and steady” that wins the race. Join us on Sunday to learn more of t...

Sometimes you get a great deal on a product because a store has too much of it and has to slash the price to move the overstock. One thing the world does not have an overstock of is kindness. Yet kindness is expected of Christ-followers (Ephesians 4:32), even when it’s not returned by others. So, how do we do it? By walking in the Spirit – following Jesus closely – and letting his character shine...

We live in a crazy fast-paced world, and many of us are stretched and stressed. This negatively impacts our relationships with God and those closest to us.

This Sunday we’ll talk about the fruit of the Spirit’s first trait, love. If we get this right, every other trait falls into place. Speaker: Mark Seager Series: Evidence - Looking Like Jesus through the Fruit of the Spirit C...

We Christians would do well to remind ourselves of these 6 truths daily… I am a child of God. God is my Father. Heaven is my home. Every day is one day nearer. My Savior is my brother. Every Christian is my brother too. Believing and acting on these truths will transform the way you live. This Sunday, we’ll wrap up our series with a sermon on the “City yet to come,” our heavenly home. But what is...

As the moral direction of our culture continues moving further from any Christian moorings it had, how should we respond? Biblical Christianity is no longer seen as respectable. How can we make a difference for good when the culture’s attitude toward Christianity is getting more antagonistic? We’ll get some wisdom from an ancient letter in the book of Jeremiah. Speaker: Mark Seager Series: For the...

Choosing the correct path is never about the condition of the path, but always about the direction it is taking you. Right and wrong paths look similar. They both have hills, turns and potholes. The difference is the direction. You’ll know the difference based on the correction and instruction God gives along the way. The better you know Him, the more clearly you’ll understand the difference betwe...

After Easter, what? The disciples experienced the most stupendous event in history – Jesus’ resurrection. That’s an unbeatable mountaintop experience. But they also endured a lot of monotonous normal life and had to wait longer than they wanted for some of the blessings Jesus promised. How can you thrive when you want something and don’t have it? What if your life is not nearly as exciting as the...
