  • 268 // Plano Needs CityBridge
    Jan 13 2026

    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
    Jan 4 2026

    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
    Dec 28 2025

    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.

  • 265 // Christmas Eve at CityBridge
    Dec 24 2025

    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
    Dec 21 2025

    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.

  • 263 // Jesus Saves Christmas from Your Boredom
    Dec 15 2025

    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
    Dec 7 2025

    David Leventhal teaches from Matthew 13:44–46, 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.

  • 261 // Jesus Saves Christmas from Your Pointlessness
    Nov 30 2025

    This week, Josh Fortney teaches from Luke 2 and shows how Jesus enters our world with purpose, clarity, and hope. When life feels noisy or overwhelming, Christmas reminds us that God is not distant. He comes close. He comes into ordinary places and meets ordinary people with extraordinary grace.

    If you've been longing for meaning or direction this season, the birth of Jesus gives you both.
