Psalm 103 As we continue in part one of our teaching series, "More" Pastor Ryan Smith looks at the pattern of renewal in Psalm 103.

From the series "I Am" with Guest Pastor, Chris Marlin. John 10:1-10 As part of our series, "I AM: The Identity of Jesus in John's Gospel," Pastor Chris Marlin from City Church OTR teaches that Jesus is the gate, providing selfless protection against anything that comes our way.

From the series "The Sabbath". Genesis 2:2-3, Exodus 16:23-30, Exodus 20:8-11 Sabbath isn’t just a day to stop, rest, and throw a feast in community. Ultimately, it’s a holy day, set apart for and dedicated to God himself. Early Christians called it “the Lord’s day.” It’s a weekly day of worship by which we cultivate a spirit of worship all week long. Sermon Notes Here

From the series "The Sabbath". Genesis 1:31-2:3, Isaiah 58:13-14 Sabbath is not an onerous day for dour religious duty but a life-giving day of delight — a weekly party. It’s a full day set aside to celebrate our life with God in his world. And it’s designed to be done in community, not alone. Few things are more provocative in the modern world than communities of joy. Sermon Notes Here

From the series "The Sabbath". Genesis 2:1-3, Deuteronomy 5:12-15 We hear about Sabbath rest and we imagine sleeping or taking a day off to chill. But Sabbath rest is a form of resistance. There are powerful forces,  both external and internal that war against a Sabbath spirituality. To sabbath will require that we resist. Sermon Notes Here

From the series "The Sabbath". Matthew 11:28-30, Genesis 2:1-3, Exodus 20:8-11 The word “sabbath” means “to stop.” In Genesis, God worked for six days but then he rested on the seventh. In doing so, he built a rhythm into the fabric of creation. When we live in alignment with this ancient rhythm, we find peace and joy, but when we fight it, we fracture our souls. Sermon Notes Here
