286 // A Fresh Start
You can't undo a bad decision. But you can find out what God does with the people who make them. In Joshua 8, after a humiliating defeat and the painful exposure of sin in the camp, Israel gets another shot at the city of Ai. This time everything changes. Joshua seeks God's instruction, the whole army follows His plan, and the victory is total. Josh Fortney walks through what it looks like to move from presumption to genuine dependence, and what happens when we actually trust that God's way is better than our own.

285 // Nothing Stays Buried
One man's hidden sin. An entire nation's defeat. And a God who says get up before the grief runs dry. Brad Kirby, Josh Fortney, and David Leventhal sit down around the table with Joshua 7 in a candid, unscripted conversation. They work through Achan's sin and its ripple effect on the whole community, the overconfidence that crept in after Jericho, Joshua's raw lament, and what it actually looks like when God corrects the people he loves. If you have ever wondered why God takes sin so seriously, or what comes next after you have blown it, this conversation is worth your time.

284 // Inside Out Weekend
The church was made to go, not just to gather. On Inside Out Weekend, CityBridge met outside as one church before heading into the city to serve. Brad Kirby took the message back to the first Easter and to two words from Mark 16:7 that are easy to read right past: "and Peter." Those two words are a pep talk for anyone who has ever felt like they've blown it, and a rallying cry for a church ready to stop sitting comfortable inside.

283 // God Speaks, His People Walk, and God Wins
Most of us want to see results before we trust. God asks for trust before we see results. In Joshua 6, Israel faces the walls of Jericho, and God's strategy is to march in silence for seven days. Brad Kirby opens CityBridge's new Joshua: Mission series by tracing the three-part pattern at the heart of this chapter: God speaks His promises before anything visibly changes, His people walk in faithful obedience, and God wins a victory that leaves no question about who gets the credit. If you're in a season of faithful, unglamorous obedience with nothing to show for it yet, this message will anchor you.

282 // The Commander
You've probably asked God to be on your side. Joshua did too. It was the wrong question. In Joshua 5:13–15, Joshua steps out toward the walls of Jericho and comes face to face with a stranger who has a sword already drawn. The question he asks reveals something most of us do without noticing: we approach God expecting Him to get behind our plans and endorse what we've already decided. In this message, David Leventhal walks through one of the most important three verses in the book of Joshua and shows what it actually looks like to go from commanding general to servant, and why that shift changes everything about how we pray, how we make decisions, and how we follow God.

281 // Easter at CityBridge
Most people know Easter happened. Not everyone knows what it means for them. In this Easter Sunday message, Brad Kirby opens Ephesians 1 to unpack six extraordinary gifts that belong to every person who trusts Jesus: chosen before time began, adopted as family, accepted by grace, fully forgiven, heir to an eternal inheritance, and sealed by the Spirit of God himself. This isn't a message about what Jesus did from a distance. It's about who you are because he did it.

He prayed it three times. He knew exactly what was coming. And He went anyway. In this Good Friday message from Matthew 26, Brad Kirby walks through the moments leading up to the cross: the last meal, the betrayal, the garden. He lands on the truth at the center of it all — Jesus went instead of us. Before you get to Sunday, sit with this one.

279 // Different for the City
You can't reach a city you look exactly like. In Joshua 5, Israel stands one step from the Promised Land, and instead of launching into battle, God stops everything. Before there can be mission, there must be identity. Brad Kirby walks through one of Scripture's most unexpected pauses to show why the difference Christ makes in us is not a barrier to engaging the world, but the whole point of it.

278 // What Do These Stones Mean?
You're wired to forget. And God knows it. In Joshua 4, Israel has just walked through the Jordan River on dry ground, and God tells them to stop and stack twelve stones before they take another step. Josh Fortney walks through why God commands His people to remember, how visible reminders spark the conversations that pass faith forward, and what it looks like when a community is shaped by what God has done rather than what they're afraid of next.

277 // When God Leads His People
After forty years in the wilderness, Israel finally arrives at the edge of the Promised Land. But standing between them and God’s promise is the Jordan River at flood stage. Joshua 3 shows us how God leads His people when the future feels uncertain. Before the river stops, the priests must step into the water. Before the miracle appears, obedience comes first. This message explores what happens when God leads His people: He leads into unfamiliar places, His presence goes before us, He calls us to consecration, faith takes the first step, and God makes a way where none exists.

276 // Faith in the Wall
Joshua 2 tells a surprising story about faith. While Israel prepares to enter the Promised Land, Joshua sends two spies into Jericho. Instead of focusing on military strategy, the chapter centers on a woman named Rahab who recognizes the power of Israel’s God and risks everything to identify herself with Him. Through Joshua’s leadership and Rahab’s response, we see what real faith looks like. Faith acts. Faith sees what others miss. Faith surrenders to God’s mercy and obeys His Word. This message reminds us that faith begins with grace and ultimately rests in the certainty that God keeps every promise He makes.

275 // Prepared to Proceed
In , we see Joshua’s first recorded act of leadership after the death of Moses. God had commanded him to arise and cross the Jordan. Joshua responds immediately, organizing the nation and preparing them for movement. Israel stood between promise and possession. We stand between commission and completion. Christ has spoken. The Spirit has been given. The mission is clear. The question is not clarity. The question is movement.

274 // Equipped by His Word
Joshua is stepping into impossible leadership. Moses is gone. The Promised Land stands ahead. And the command is clear: Be strong and courageous. In Joshua 1:6–9, we see that courage isn’t self-generated. It’s grounded in promise, obedience, and presence. God doesn’t motivate Joshua with hype. He anchors him in covenant faithfulness and calls him to meditate on the Word day and night. This message reframes success, redefines prosperity, and reminds us that obedience, not comfort, is the path to mission.

273 // Joshua Overview
The book of Joshua is not merely military history. It is theological history. It records real events in real places, but it tells them through the lens of covenant faithfulness and divine purpose. Joshua picks up immediately after the death of Moses. Israel stands on the edge of the Promised Land. The Exodus generation has passed. A new leader rises. The promise given to Abraham centuries earlier now moves toward visible fulfillment. This message explores: The genre of Joshua as theological history The historical transition from Moses to Joshua The Abrahamic and Mosaic Covenants The land as inheritance, not achievement The role of obedience in experiencing promise Rest that is real, but not yet ultimate God’s presence as the foundation of courage Joshua answers crucial questions for Israel: Was the land earned? No. It was given. Did Israel succeed because of strength? No. Because of the Lord. What sustains the mission after a great leader dies? The covenant faithfulness of God As we begin this journey, we are reminded that God prepares His people, sends His people, and establishes His people across generations. His purposes are not fragile. His promises are not temporary. His presence does not expire. And that changes how we walk forward today.

271 // Vision Sunday
Welcome to Vision Sunday! This weekend is all about reminding ourselves of who we are as followers of Jesus, and clarifying what how we’re going to grow as a church in our next season. At CityBridge, our mission is simple and steady: calling all people to be fully devoted followers of Christ. This weekend, we look at how Jesus forms disciples through a clear and life-giving discipleship pathway. We are called to believe in Christ, belong to His church, be equipped in His Word, and be engaged in His mission. These four movements shape who we are and guide where we are going as a church. As we grow together in this next season, God is inviting us to equip the church and engage the city with the hope of the gospel. We’re reminded that discipleship is not accidental. It is intentional, joyful, and shared. Sermon notes and discussion questions available at: Subscribe for weekly Sunday Messages on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

Haggai 1 tells the story of God’s people who love Him, believe in His mission, and yet allow delay and distraction to take over. In this message, we explore how obedience often stalls not because of rebellion, but because of misplaced priorities. This message calls us to consider our ways, respond to God’s Word, and trust His promise to be with us as we put Him first again.

269 // Hearts Like Jesus
As Vision Sunday approaches, it’s easy to focus on plans, strategies, and goals. But before Jesus ever sends us out, He invites us to come close. In , Jesus does something surprising. He tells us exactly what His heart is like. In this message, we explore why having eyes of faith is not enough on its own. We also need hearts shaped by the gentleness, humility, and compassion of Jesus. A church can have the right beliefs, the right mission, and the right activity, and still miss the heart of Christ. You’re invited to slow down, behold Jesus, and allow His heart to reshape how we love God, love people, and engage our city. Because how we live out the mission matters just as much as what the mission is.

268 // Plano Needs CityBridge
Today we walk through Jonah 4, a chapter that forces us to wrestle with God’s mercy, our comfort, and the mission we’ve been given. After Nineveh repents, Jonah is angry, depressed, and ready to quit. Why? Because God’s compassion reached people Jonah didn’t want to love. Through a plant, a worm, and a scorching wind, God exposes Jonah’s heart and asks a question that still confronts us today: Should I not care about this city? As we look ahead, we’re reminded that God is not primarily interested in keeping us comfortable. He’s committed to shaping us — and sending us — for the sake of people who need His grace. This message invites us to see our city through God’s eyes and respond with obedience, courage, and love.

267 // We Are Not Grasshoppers
Standing on the edge of God’s promise is exciting. It’s also terrifying. In Numbers 13, God’s people stand at the doorstep of the Promised Land. The land is good. The promise is clear. But fear creeps in, and suddenly, giants look bigger than God. Ten spies focus on what they lack. Two of them remember who God is. In this message, we explore how fear shapes our vision, how faith reframes reality, and why God’s vision always calls for a decision before it calls for a plan. The difference between moving forward and shrinking back isn’t the size of the obstacle—it’s whether we include God in the equation. As Vision Sunday approaches at CityBridge, this passage invites us to ask an honest question: Will we be shaped by fear, or formed by faith?

266 // Measured Days, Meaningful Lives
The end of the year has a way of slowing us down. We look back. We take stock. We start asking questions that don’t usually make it into our busy days. In Psalm 90, Moses invites us to do exactly that. He reminds us that our days are limited, God is eternal, and wisdom begins when we learn to live with that perspective. This message explores what it means to number our days, take sin seriously, and anchor our lives in the goodness of God rather than the temporary things that so easily consume our time. If you’ve ever wondered whether your life is being spent on what truly matters, Psalm 90 offers clarity, hope, and a path toward a life that is both measured and meaningful.

Merry Christmas CityBridge! On Christmas Eve, we remember that God chose to meet us in humility. In Luke 2:8–16, the sign given to the shepherds was not power or spectacle, but a baby lying in a manger. This message walks through why that detail matters, what it reveals about God’s heart, and how the manger points forward to the cross. Jesus did not wait for a clean world—He came near, on purpose, to bring hope to those in need.

264 // Jesus Saves Christmas from Death and Silence
Christmas looks good on the surface. Lights. Music. Traditions. Family. But beneath all of that, Christmas still needs saving. In this message from John 3:1–18, we look at why Jesus came and what His coming means for us. Jesus saves Christmas from death by bringing new life to those who cannot save themselves. And He saves Christmas from silence by sending rescued people to speak, share, and point others to Him. Christmas is not about better effort or better traditions. It is about new life. And that life was never meant to stay quiet. Sermon notes and discussion questions available at: Subscribe for weekly Sunday Messages on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

263 // Jesus Saves Christmas from Your Boredom
Christmas can feel familiar. Almost too familiar. We know the songs, the story, and the traditions. And if we’re not careful, that familiarity can slowly turn into boredom. In this message from Mark 6:1–6, we see Jesus return to His hometown and be dismissed by the very people who knew Him best. They weren’t rejecting Him because He lacked power. They missed Him because they thought they already knew Him. This message reminds us that Christmas doesn’t lose its power because the story isn’t true. It loses its power when we stop being amazed by it. Jesus came close. And He invites us to see Him again with fresh eyes, renewed wonder, and a heart that remembers why He came at all.

262 // Jesus Saves Christmas from Your Commercialism
David Leventhal teaches from , where Jesus presents two parables that reveal the surpassing worth of the Kingdom of Heaven. In a cultural moment saturated with commercialism, Jesus calls us to see Him as the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl of Great Value—the One who brings true joy, identity, and freedom. We explore why commercialism has such a strong pull, how these parables dismantle the lie of “not enough,” and what it means to reorient our lives around Jesus. You’ll also be equipped with reflection questions to help you slow down and behold Christ during the Christmas season.

This week, Brad Kirby walks through two powerful passages where Jesus meets three people who want to follow Him but keep offering polite delays. Their hearts are stirred, but their feet stay still. Jesus responds with clarity that following Him is not a part-time commitment. It is a whole-life movement that calls us forward with purpose, urgency, and focus. If you have ever struggled with hesitation, excuses, or the fear of taking the next step, this message helps you see what it means to live your faith on the move, not just in theory.

Every road leads somewhere. Some feel easy at first but end in ruin, and some feel costly at the start but lead to life. In this week’s Radical message, Brad Kirby teaches through and shows how Jesus ends the Sermon on the Mount with a call to choose wisely. The narrow road, the healthy tree, the true disciple, and the firm foundation all point to one simple truth. Life with Jesus is the only road that lasts. If you’ve ever wondered how to tell the real thing from the fake, or how to build a faith that stands when pressure hits, Jesus gives the answer right here. He is not offering suggestions. He is offering life. Sermon notes and discussion questions available at: Subscribe for weekly Sunday Messages on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen. Questions or feedback?

This week, Brad Kirby teaches from Matthew 7:7–12, where Jesus invites us to stop striving and start trusting. Prayer isn’t a transaction; it’s an expression of love between a Father and His children. When we ask, seek, and knock, we’re not trying to get God’s attention. We’re responding to the God who already loves us. And in that space of dependence, we discover that the best gift isn’t what He gives. It’s who He is.

257 // Radical Judgment
Judging others is easy. Seeing ourselves clearly? That’s hard. In this week’s Radical message, Josh Fortney walks through Matthew 7:1–6, where Jesus teaches us how to judge with humility, mercy, and wisdom. Jesus doesn’t tell us to stop using discernment. He calls us to check our motives, confront our own sin, and restore others gently. True judgment doesn’t condemn — it helps people see clearly. Whether you tend to be overly critical or overly cautious, this message shows how followers of Jesus can balance truth and grace in relationships that reflect His heart.
