184 // Beautiful in Its Time // Under the Sun
Teacher: David Marvin. Where To Find PurposeWelcome to Week Three of "Under the Sun: A Study on the Book of Ecclesiastes"! Join us as we explore the profound truths from Ecclesiastes 3, emphasizing that there is a season for everything under heaven. Solomon's poetic reflections remind us that life is a series of contrasts—joy and sorrow, birth and death—each appointed by God. David emphasizes the importance of trusting in God's ultimate plan and His promise to make everything beautiful in its time, even if we may not understand the timing or reasons behind these seasons.

183 // Where To Find Purpose // Under the Sun
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.

176 // Why Can't We All Just Get Along? // Relate(Able)
Teacher: David Marvin. We're in week two of our 'RELATE(ABLE)' series, we explore the vital topic of conflict resolution in relationships. Just as God reconciled with us, we are called to resolve conflicts in our lives. Conflict isn't inherently bad; it's an opportunity to grow, honor God, and strengthen relationships. We must recognize our part in conflicts, often stemming from selfishness, pride, or gossip, and own our role in resolving them. Jesus' teachings in Matthew 18 provide a clear path for resolving conflicts: address issues privately, involve others if needed, and seek reconciliation with humility and grace. Every conflict offers us a perspective to maintain, a part to own, and a path to pursue peace. It's not about avoiding conflict but resolving it effectively to reflect God's character and nurture our relationships. As we navigate conflicts, let's seek God's wisdom, extend grace, and pursue peace, understanding that forgiveness is crucial in releasing the burden of offense and building stronger connections. The passage also discusses the significance of sharing the gospel with outsiders, urging us to approach conversations with wisdom, grace, and a genuine desire to connect others with the love of Christ. Let's take steps to prioritize intimacy with Jesus through prayer and to actively seek opportunities to share the gospel with those around us! Enjoyed the message?

The passage also discusses the significance of sharing the gospel with outsiders, urging us to approach conversations with wisdom, grace, and a genuine desire to connect others with the love of Christ.

174 // The Tomb Is Empty... Now What? // Josh Fortney
Teacher: Josh Fortney. This week, Josh Fortney challenges us to consider how we respond to the new life we have in Christ, urging us to move beyond merely celebrating Easter and Christmas once a year to celebrating the new life we have in Jesus in the way we live daily. Drawing parallels to significant life transitions, such as welcoming a new child or starting a new job, Josh explores Acts 1 & 2 to address the question: "Now what?" the question the disciples had after the Holy Spirit fell upon them. He walks through practical ways believers can actively live out their faith after hearing the greatest news. The passage also discusses the significance of sharing the gospel with outsiders, urging us to approach conversations with wisdom, grace, and a genuine desire to connect others with the love of Christ.

Teacher: David Marvin. Welcome to the first week of our "Good News" series! Today, David Marvin is reading through John 3:1-17, where we encounter the pivotal interaction between Jesus and Nicodemus. We trace Nicodemus's journey from confusion about how God's heart is for everyone and that everyone gets to God the same way, to truly comprehending what it means to be a follower of Jesus. We're reminded that the issue is not whether you behave; rather, have you trusted in Jesus as your Savior?

Teacher: Daniel Smith. Welcome to week eight of our Colossians series! This week we're in Colossians 3:18–4:1, and it's all about the "house rules" as followers of Christ. It's like a guidebook for living well. We're going to see how spouses, parents, and workers are supposed to live in light of being Christ-followers. The main idea is that we should treat everyone with care and kindness, whether we're at home or work. The Bible says we should love each other and work hard, not just for rewards here on Earth, but to please God. So, let's remember to be kind and loving in everything we do, whether it's at home with our families or at work with our co-workers! Enjoyed the message? Rate us ⭐⭐⭐⭐️⭐ and leave a review on .

167 // Why Can't I Change? // Colossians 3:1-17
Teacher: Dan White. Ever find yourself wrestling with change? It's something we all grapple with throughout our lives. That's burning question — why can't I change? It's frustrating when the same old patterns keep showing up despite our best intentions. It's week seven in our Colossians series, and this week, we see something powerful about our position in Christ and how it impacts our ability to change. If you're feeling stuck, maybe it's time to explore that deeper transformation together. Journey with us through this and discover the lasting change we're longing for. True change, the kind that lasts, goes beyond just trying harder or making lists of rules. It's about a deeper transformation, one that comes from within, from our spiritual core.

155 // Decisions Determine Your Destiny // Marvin Walker
Teacher: Marvin Walker. Daniel and his friends, captured and taken to Babylon, faced a pivotal choice: to assimilate into the culture or stand firm in their faith. Despite potential consequences, Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the king's offerings, showing how small decisions impact greater victories. This message from Marvin Walker explores how decisions determine our destiny, and the importance of standing through preparation, application, and dedication. The story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace shows that standing for faith may not always lead to immediate victory, but God can show up in unexpected ways. The ultimate message is a call to stand firm, stand out, and stand up for one's faith, as decisions will ultimately shape destiny. Enjoyed the message? Rate us ⭐⭐⭐⭐️⭐ and leave a review on .
