City Community Church

Today Nathan looks at rest and work and how these two relate to living life in the Kingdom.

Today Nathan talks about perspectives and how it's not just enough to get a different perspective without doing anything.  If you truly want change in your life, you need to take that new perspective and then act on it.

Easter 2018 with the City Community family

Today Nathan talks about pain and suffering and how it's something we all will have to go through.  The suffering we experience is what will bring resurrection into our lives.

Today Nathan talks about the power of words and how they are one of the most under valued currencies we possess. Words can be used to build up or tear down all depending on how we use them.

The Advent season is all about preparing for the birth of Jesus.  In this Advent season we should remember to be preparing to celebrate His birth but also for His return as well.

Today Nathan uses surfing as an analogy to relationships. There's more to surfing than just riding a wave just like there is more to relationships than just knowing about people.

Today Nathan touches on Listen and Lean but spends most of the time talking about what it might look like to Live in our communities and neighborhoods.

Today Nathan talks about the foundation that parents are providing for their children.

If we as Christians have the Spirit of God living inside us, then shouldn't we be leading the way when it comes to pioneering and innovative thinking?

Today Nathan starts the new series for the summer called "Summer In The Psalms" by looking at David and his anointing by Samuel.

Today is Resurrection Day...better known as Easter.

When it comes to "church" are we more concerned with the form or the function?

With everything going on in our world right now is it enough to simply protest and complain about how others are being treated or are we called to do something more?

Has life ever disappointed you? Maybe even God Himself? In this message, Nathan explores the healing of the 10 lepers and how entitlement and false expectations might be getting in the way of gratitude.    

In a world of busyness, chronic anxiety and insta-everything, how can we stay peculiar? In our first weekend expression in Lockerbie Church, Nathan explores remembering to be rooted in rest.

In our monthly GATHER, Nathan pulls out some ugly things hiding in his own tent that might be detrimental to his family and the whole city of Indianapolis. Are the selfish ambitions we thought were safely hidden away actually exposing our lives to God's anger?  And if we repent, would that bring God's blessing on all? The journey into the Terra Incognita continues through the book of Joshua.

The desert is never pretty...but the way out is through. In our monthly GATHER, Nathan shares from Matthew 4 and talks about how we go through desert times in our life.  It's through these desert times that we are pushed to grow the most and rely on God all the more. 

Today Nathan asks the question about where are you in your relationship with God?  Are you content to sit on the shore or are you out in the boat with Him.

There are hinge points in your life where major decisions are made.

Many times we only notice Jesus from the outside. He desires that we go deeper and know Him so closely that we share everything with Him.

Many times we worship the scaffolding and structure that has been erected by man and ignore what lies underneath. What would it look like if we simply remove the scaffolding and gather together around the person of Jesus Christ?

Time & Space

Going deeper with Jesus is dangerous because we will put everything on the line for Him.

In order to grow into mature followers of Christ we cannot continually choose the path of least resistance. Growth happens when we endure challenges.

What does it look like to truly love people? Listen and find out how losing and loving work together.

Every man and woman of God finds the only constant in life is change. And that may not be a bad thing...

Where do you fit in with the community of believers?  Do you even have a community of believers that you spend time growing together with?

Today Nathan lays out a brief look at where the future of CityCom is going.

What are your strengths that can be best used for God's glory? The church flourishes when people are allowed to move (and serve) in their personal strengths.

Restarting sometimes is not enough and you need to "install" a new operating system in your life.

Don't start off the new year by just rearranging what didn't work last year.  Restart new.

Today Nathan wraps up the Advent season by asking "Where's Your Love?"

The focus for the third week of Advent is Joy.  Today Nathan asks the question "Where is your Joy"?

The focus for the second week of Advent is Peace.  Today Nathan asks the question "Where is your Peace"?

The focus for the first week of Advent is Hope.  Today Nathan asks the question "Where is your hope? Is it in temporary things that fade away or is your hope in Jesus?"

Today Nathan talks about moving into the Terra Incognita, the unknown land, and the faith that is required to move into the unknown.

Today Jake reminds us to enjoy the beauty of the present - and to not miss it or become disappointed when our obsessive planning for the future doesn't turn out exactly as we planned.

Confession within a community of believers can be both scary and extremely beneficial.

When I am faith-less, He is faith-ful. What is your confession because you will live based on that.

Living a life closer to the Word and closer to Christ is like having autocorrect turned on for our thoughts and actions. The further away we get from Him, the more we tend to spiral to needlessly dramatic and worrisome existence.

If you plant your life in the ground, allow it to be buried and die and resurrected again to follow in Jesus, what kind of opportunities will it provide?

What would it look like, if this week you shared with someone in your community here at City Community Church an "uncropped" view of your life; unfiltered, in full perspective?

This Kingdom of God thing depends on us listening to the Word, accepting what we've heard, and then acting on it.  When will you jump into action?  When will you start actively listening?

Listen:  We need to be open to listening but also willing to apply it to the surrounding community.Lean:  Be willing to sustainably grow our relationships within our community.Live:  What are you doing to live creatively and affect change within your community?

There are times in our life where we find out that the path we have chosen is not the right one and we have to make a U-Turn to get going in the right direction.

True lasting change starts with an inward decision that will manifest itself with outward actions.

Today Lyndon asks the uncomfortable question "Do we believe what we read in the Bible? And if we do, how is our life different from those that don't believe."

A healthy fear of God will lead to action while an unhealthy fear will lead to paralysis.

Many times we as Christians are content to play it safe and just coast through life but is that what God really wants us to do?

Does your familiarity with God lead to a deeper more fuller relationship with Him?
