Christ City Church Memphis

Join us this Sunday as we explore these passages and learn what our spirituality produces.

Jamin was sick last Sunday, so this week he will pick up where he left off in the two part series on discipleship. Join us as we continue to explore questions about how we grow and access our potential as human beings made in the image of God- in essence how can we become Christ-like?

Listen to the sermon "Who do you say Jesus Is?" From Ronnie

How do we grow? How do we realize our potential as unique human beings made in the image of God? Listen in as we discuss the path of a learner.

As humans we can’t help but create and we use this impulse with both noble and reckless intention. Jesus saw the material world infused with the blessing and goodness of God to the point that a sparrow does not fall without God's notice and care. Seeing through this divine paradigm means we get to take what God has given us and bless it, form it, shape it, build it, break and share it. Christ...

Without wonder, our faith and life can become inflexible and rigid. At Christ City we are calling one another to a space where we can worship in wonder. This means we may have to address some of the ideas, narratives, and behaviors that crowd out the possibility of wonder in our lives. Jesus winks at this when he says the kingdom of heaven belongs to children and that we will access it only by bec...

At Christ City Church, and as followers of Jesus, we are compelled to serve one another and our community. To serve others well we need access to our hearts. Duty and obligation alone will not sustain us. Join us this Sunday as we learn more about the first part of the new mission of Christ City Church - Serve with Heart.

Join us as we continue to explore our vision - A Place to Know God and see how belonging and believing (knowing God) are intricately and intimately connected.

Join us as we talk about the first half of our vision -- belonging.

As we explore the complex and all too familiar family dynamics of Isaac and Rebecca’s family, we reflect on what healthy expectations of God, ourselves and others look like. What does it mean to be blessed? Are you giving you giving up your blessing?

Join us as elder Amanda Wiig shares the story of the meta narrative of the Bible, pulling out specifically redemptive themes and highlighting the role of women and marginalized people.

Humans find it so easy to separate themselves from one another: through sports, politics, theology, tragedy, culture, etc. Some are certainly more welcome than others. But when these lines drawn become barriers to genuine relationship with others and Christ, which will we find ourselves valuing more? Which will we allow to define us? Join us on Sunday as we discuss how Paul sees becoming like Chri...

Who is in God’s family, and on whose behalf should God act? The answers to these questions have the power to build or destroy families and communities (and has!). Spending time with the story of Hagar and the oppression she experiences from Sarah and Abraham can help us to see family, faith, and the provision of God in a more complex, empathetic, and grounded way. Join us as we walk with Hagar in...

How do you deal with the ever-present gap between what you hope for in life and reality? Each of our families taught us ways to manage, engage, deny, or denounce our hope. This doesn’t always work out well. Is there a better way? Listen in as we continue exploring how family matters in life and faith. Part two of a three-part series called Family Matters.

Our faith and spirituality is inextricably tied to those we call family. Some of the most difficult, and necessary, times in every family are the seasons when someone leaves to explore who they are and to make their own choices in life. Whether we are the one leaving or letting go, how do we navigate these threshold moments in family life? Listen in to join the discussion.

What does it mean that humans are “made in the image of God?” Many have proposed that this means humans possess consciousness, rational thought, a spirit, among other things. While none of these are necessarily incorrect, do they help us in understanding what Genesis One wants to communicate? Join us this Sunday as we explore how the image of God, as understood in Genesis One, is a descriptor of h...

Sometimes we lose the capacity to be surprised by what others are capable of and how God might use them. When we find ourselves here we will almost certainly miss out on the Spirit of God’s movement in the world. Listen in as we open up to a curiosity and wonder of how God chooses to work.

What motivates you? Dreaming about the future, and imagining what God will do and how we can partner with the Divine, can inspire us and strengthen us to live with courage, wonder, and purpose in the present. Part of the series  Life Goes On .

People in our culture often claim to be spiritual. This is good! We are spiritual beings. Yet our spirituality has a source and knowing that Source is what our faith claims is possible- that the great unknowable one [God] has been made known. How can we engage the infinite mystery of God in our own spiritual lives today? How could doing so make us more whole? Part of the series  Life Goes On .

Have you ever noticed that when you expect to find something(or someone) in a particular place you have better chance of finding it/them? In scripture and the breaking of bread is how Jesus is revealed to the disciples who traveled down Emmaus road on the third day after His crucifixion. Join us as we continue to explore how we can do the same. Part of the series  Life Goes On .

Have you ever thought- “I don’t really know what to do with the Bible or how to make sense of it?” If you have, this eastertide message is for you. If you think you already know how to use the Bible, this message is for you. Part of the series  Life Goes On .

Pain, disappointments, grief and hurt are gifts no one longs for, yet they come. When they leave somehow we become stronger - trusting in what no one else can see and feeling God’s loving arms as they surround us letting us know it’s okay! Come join us as we explore waiting for this peace that surpasses all our understanding.

Distraught and confused, completely out of equilibrium; looking for something (or someone) that has almost certainly been lost forever -have you ever felt this way? Mary Magdalene, one of the first witnesses to the resurrection, experienced this loss of balance until she was steadied by a familiar voice. Open your ears to hear the kingdom of heaven! The final part in the series- The Kingdom of Hea...
