Teacher: David Marvin. How Far Will He Go to Bring You Back? In our first week in our Jonah series, we explore the story of Jonah and the lessons it teaches us about running from God. We realize that disobedience is the first step in running from God, leading to discipline and consequences. However, we also learn that God's love for runaways knows no bounds as He pursues us relentlessly. Ultimately, this message highlights the incredible love of God demonstrated through Jesus, who died for us while we were still sinners.       Enjoyed the message?

Teacher: Kyle Kaigler. We're wrapping up our series On Brand by talking about the value that the church most often neglects: engaging those who are far from God with the gospel. Every person you walk by spends eternity somewhere, and God has you where you are to be salt and light to a dark world.  Enjoyed the message? Rate us ⭐⭐⭐⭐️⭐ and leave a review on Apple Podcasts.

Drawing from key scriptures like Matthew 28:18-20 and Mark 12:30-31, discover what it means to be a disciple, and see how disciples are made through the "caught and taught" process, as we pass the baton of faith to future generations. The life you have always wanted is found when you give yours away. 🙌 Enjoyed the message? Rate us ⭐⭐⭐⭐️⭐ and leave a review on Apple Podcasts. Want more information about CityBridge Community Church?

Teacher: Rob Barry. Welcome to week 3 of our 'On Brand' series, where we explore the timeless characteristics that define the church. ⛪ The key message here is that success as a Christ Follower is closely tied to being part of a spiritual training team – what we call community groups. We are created for community Our very nature reflects God's design for deep personal relationships. From the Garden of Eden to the present, community has been integral to our well-being. Benefits of community: Support, warmth, strength in unity (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12). We are called to community It's not optional; we're commanded to be in intentional relationships that motivate us to live for Jesus. Jesus modeled this during his ministry, and it's a team sport. God's Word, Spirit, and community are intertwined for growth. You are Changed by community Sanctification, the process of becoming more like Jesus, happens through your Christian community. It's like a marriage – you'll face challenges but grow through them. Community helps you distinguish between preferences and core doctrines. Application For non-members: Life change happens in circles, so get involved in a community. For members: Stay engaged, even when it gets tough. Bear with one another, forgive, and pray for each other. Seek guidance if needed; community is essential. Closing Thoughts We're not in this alone; God desires us to live in community. Your future success depends on who's with you – choose your community wisely. Remember, community is "on brand" for followers of Jesus, and it's a vital part of your journey towards spiritual growth and success.    All of us need encouragement to step into the light and embrace authenticity, and there is support for those struggling with secrets and sins. Come and find fellowship to overcome darkness and experience God's healing and mercy!       Enjoyed the message?

Teacher: David Marvin. Welcome to On Brand! We're kicking off the series by delving into the notion of embodying the "On Brand" identity as followers of Christ, in line with the church's vision and values. The aim of the series is to explore the application of these principles and objectives in believers' everyday lives. The term "On Brand" emphasizes five core values for the church: authenticity, Bible-based, community, discipleship, and engagement. Central to the church's mission is the call to guide all individuals toward becoming committed disciples of Christ. The five core "On Brand" values encompass living authentically and transparently, placing faith in the authority of God's Word, fostering genuine community bonds, fostering disciple-making, and actively participating in the world as Christ's representatives. The series is designed to offer practical insights and real-world instances of how believers can embrace these values in their daily existence, fostering enduring and significant transformation in their communities. Being "On Brand" as Christ's followers entails embodying authenticity, rootedness in Scripture, active community involvement, dedicated disciple-making, and impactful worldly engagement for the sake of Christ's message.      Enjoyed the message?

Teacher: David Marvin. In this message, David Marvin explores the purpose and design of sex according to God's plan. Sex is meant to be an exclusive and protected gift to be enjoyed between one man and one woman in the context of marriage. However, our culture has devalued sex, leading to pain and regret. We learn how sex has permanence and bonding power and how serving and sacrificing for our spouse leads to a deeper and more meaningful connection. Despite past mistakes, God's love and forgiveness offer hope and healing. This series, Sex By Design, will discuss how we have departed from the perfect God-given design for gender and sexuality. Parents of kids in Middle School and younger, we recommend that you use caution in letting your kids stream this series.                              Enjoyed the message?
