Soul City Church - Chicago, IL

If there were a buzz word for the 2020s, it might be ANXIETY. Anxiety is no longer something that pops up from time to time. It is now the constant undercurrent of our culture. But God did not create us for an anxious life. God created us for a full life. This week, we will learn to see our anxiety through a different lens, and discover the invitation within.

We’re diving into what it means to live a life full of Holy Spirit encounters — not just at church, but everywhere we go.

Through powerful parallels between marriage and faith, he unpacks what it means to Decide, Declare, and Demonstrate your “yes” to Jesus—inviting listeners to take their next step through baptism.

These types of encounters are available all around us. In this series, we will learn what it looks like to not just be a church of Holy Spirit encounters, but to live a life of Holy Spirit encounters.

As humans, we often believe we can achieve a better life through sheer willpower. But what if true growth and transformation actually come from surrender? In this final message, we'll explore the story of Jacob wrestling with a mys...

As humans, we are constantly chasing after acceptance, love, and a sense of belonging. In that pursuit, we often fall into the trap of believing that our worth is determined by our productivity and achievements. How hard can I hustle? How much can I produce for others to prove my worth? In this message, we'll learn from the messy relationship that Jacob has with his, not one but TWO wives, Leah an...

In a world that often values appearances over authenticity, many of us have fallen into the trap of believing that we need to pretend to be someone we're not to get ahead. And so, we put on masks. We think that if we just act smarter, funnier, more successful, or spiritual enough, we'll finally arrive at that life we've always wanted. This week, we explore the story of Jacob in Genesis 27, where h...

In the midst of a fast-paced culture that bombards us with constant distractions and instant gratification, it's easy to fall into the trap of prioritizing what feels immediate over what is truly important.

Pastor Jon teaches us on the reality of an unlikely God. The story of a God who consistently shows up in the most unlikely situations with His unmatched power, goodness, and love. How God so often takes what we deem unlikely and actually makes it possible. Come expectant for God to move.

Whether we realize it or not, we all have baggage that we carry into relationships. We carry our past pain, hurts, disappointments, traumas, and more. The question is, what do you do when the past pops up in you? What do you do when a past hurt starts to cause you present pain in a relationship? How do you build something new while also navigating all the things you’re bringing in? This week, we’l...

Conflict is one of the hardest, messiest things to navigate in relationships. And it also happens to be something that every relationship experiences. But what if conflict didn’t have to hurt your relationship, but could actually help it become more healthy?

A special interview with Jarrett and Dr. Amen on the effect of technology / social media on our brains, bodies and souls. We will explore what we can do to undo the damage that we’ve done through our many distractions.

The greatest gift of real relationships is connection. The greatest threat to real relationships is distraction. Nothing keeps us at a distance from others like the distractions that plague our lives. While the promise of technology like Social Media is greater connection with others, nothing could be further from the truth. Isolation, depression and anxiety are at an all time high, and so much of...

We start with God because God is where our lives come from. BUT…it’s often where we feel most distracted. Things like prayer, meditation and reading the Bible seem difficult due to our distractions. Yet, we are not victims to our distractions. We created these distractions from God. We allow them. And if we can create and allow that…we can create and allow something better! Something that keeps us...
