207 // Suffering for Our Savior
Teacher: Matt Wideman. Welcome! This Sunday, we delve into 1 Peter 4, where Peter encourages believers facing trials to embrace suffering as a means of reflecting Christ and growing in faith. He reminds us that following Jesus, though challenging, is always worth it. By adopting Christ’s mindset, living for God’s will, and serving others, we find purpose and hope in the midst of hardship. Peter also emphasizes prayer, love, and hospitality, urging believers to entrust themselves to God while doing good. Suffering refines and strengthens our faith, preparing us for eternal glory. No matter the trials we face, the assurance of God’s faithfulness makes the journey worthwhile. Keep climbing—the summit is worth it! In this series, we're focusing on the main theme of 1 Peter: As God's chosen people, believers are called to endure suffering with hope, following in the footsteps of Christ, trusting that their trials serve to sanctify them and prepare them for the glory to come.

Teacher: David Leventhal. Welcome! We're so glad you're here! This Sunday, David Leventhal will be walking us through 1 Peter 2:1-10 pointing us to the big idea that believers are called to grow in holiness & spiritual nourishment as we cling to our chosen status, while being shaped together as a community to proclaim the excellencies of God. David reminds us through scripture of who we were before we met Christ and that, without gratitude for what Christ has done on the cross, there is no desire in us to proclaim the excellencies of God. Let us be a church that grows in our desire to read the Word of God and tell of His glorious name. In this series, we're focusing on the main theme of 1 Peter: as God's chosen people, believers are called to endure suffering with hope, following in the footsteps of Christ, trusting that their trials serve to sanctify them and prepare them for the glory to come.

203 // The Greatest Challenges of the Church
Teacher: Liberty Muhereza. Welcome! We're so glad you're here! This Sunday, we're excited to welcome our guest speaker, Liberty Muhereza, CEO of Equip and Send Ministries, one of our ministry partners in Uganda. Liberty hones in on what believers are called to be doing as we wait for the second coming of Jesus. He points us to Matthew 28:16-20, where Jesus commissions us to make disciples, highlighting that the mission of the church is about leaving our comfort and doing something for the Kingdom- not just hearers but also doers of the Word. Liberty shares with us what his church in Africa challenges with, that hinder them from being on a mission for Christ, challenging us to reflect on the challenges we are facing as a church today.

202 // The Life You’ve Always Wanted
Teacher: Kyle Kaigler. This Sunday, Kyle Kaigler will guide us through 1 Peter 1:13-25, where we face the profound truth that, as believers, we live in the tension between two realities. We know a future is coming that we have yet to fully experience, but the choices we make today have a lasting impact on both our present life and our eternal destiny. In this passage, Peter offers wisdom on how to navigate this "in-between" time as strangers in a world awaiting Christ's return, reminding us that our decisions here and now hold eternal significance.

197 // Lights On Earth
Teacher: Michael Craven. Welcome to part two of our Citizens of Heaven series! Today, we're focusing on what it means to live with a true biblical worldview in a changing world. A Christian worldview isn't optional—it's essential to our faith. Many believers today lack a full understanding of this, so we must reclaim the whole gospel story: Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Restoration. As image-bearers of God, we're called not just to believe, but to live out our faith by engaging with the world around us for God's glory. We're reminded that the gospel is about more than personal salvation—it's about redeeming all of creation. Everything from politics to art is part of God's kingdom and should reflect His glory. Our role is to participate in this redemption, shaping culture under the rule of King Jesus, as we look ahead to the ultimate restoration of all things. Enjoyed the message?

Teacher: David Marvin. Welcome to Week Two of "Under the Sun: A Study on the Book of Ecclesiastes''! Join us as David Marvin takes us on a journey alongside Solomon as he explores five different arenas in search to find purpose in life. Solomon, much like many people today, sought fulfillment in various pursuits, only to find that without God, life remains empty and meaningless. David emphasizes that God brings purpose to pleasure, purpose to possessions, purpose to prestige, and purpose to profession. He then leaves us with practical examples on how believers can live that out. Join us as we uncover the profound truth that only God can fill the emptiness within and give purpose to our lives.

181 // The Cost of Following Jesus // Daniel Smith
Teacher: Daniel Smith. This week, Daniel Smith presents us with a seemingly convicting question: is there anything we wouldn't joyfully lay down to follow Jesus? He delves into the narrative of the rich young ruler found in Mark 10:17-31—a story about a man who believed his good deeds made him "good" before God. However, Jesus didn't want his possessions or outward behavior; He wanted his heart. Daniel challenges us to fully surrender to Jesus, just as Jesus gave up all He had in heaven to become a servant on earth, fully surrendered to the Lord. Enjoyed the message?

180 // Christianity Is a Team Sport // Relate(Able)
Teacher: David Marvin. What is community? and why is it so important for believers to have? David Marvin and Rob Berry dive into the importance of having people you call community and authentically, consistently, and resiliently doing life with them. In each of our lives, there have been moments where we want to hit the eject button, but may we be a church that doesn't leave when things get hard with a brother or sister in Christ but rather press on. Join us to learn what scripture says about bearing with one another and being fully known and fully loved by those we are in community with. After this sermon, you might find yourself reaching out to CityBridge staff to join a community group, or you and your current community may realize the need for a pulse check to ensure you're living in fellowship the way Christ intended.
