In a world obsessed with charisma, talent, and public image. God prioritizes your internal character. Pastor Darren focuses this with three key topics: Righteousness, Integrity and Humility. We cannot pass on what we don't possess. Choosing the Jesus way, we can't do by ourselves, we need His help.

Acts 12 gives us two apostles arrested by the same king. James meets a sword in a single verse. Peter, guarded by sixteen soldiers and bound in chains, is set free by an angel while the church prays through the night. One gets a sword, one gets an angel, and we live in that tension, because God doesn't always answer the way we hoped.In this message, Pastor Darren walks through the story of Peter's rescue and gets honest about the kind of praying most of us have never been discipled into. We pray small, polite, vague prayers, sometimes out of unbelief and sometimes because we're tired of getting our hopes up again. But Jesus never rebuked a bold prayer. He rebuked small belief. Drawing from how Jesus taught us to pray in Luke, the neighbor banging on the door at midnight, the widow who won't quit, the settled son and daughter who come to the Father with confidence, we're invited to pray bold and pray specific. Vague prayers get vague answers, so we get specific and keep knocking on the door of heaven.Part of our series Church on Fire, a journey through the book of Acts.Join us on Sundays in Huntington Beach at 9, 11, or 1, or in Costa Mesa at 10 or 12.

Acts 10 is one of the great turning points in scripture. A Roman centurion named Cornelius prays and gives generously. A Jewish apostle named Peter wrestles with a vision he doesn't yet understand. And the wall that separated Jew and Gentile begins to come down, not through an argument, but through hospitality.In this message, Pastor Darren walks through the story of Cornelius and Peter and asks what it means for us today: that heaven keeps track of hidden prayers, that the Spirit is always a sending voice, and that the new thing God wants to do is often most resisted by the people who participated in the last thing he did. Geography teaches theology. Joppa, the same port Jonah fled from, becomes the place Peter says yes.The invitation is simple and uncomfortable. Let hospitality go first. Welcome the people you've categorized out. Move on the whisper before you have full clarity.Part of our series Church on Fire, a journey through the book of Acts.

Who is the Holy Spirit, and what does He actually do in the life of a believer? In this message, Pastor Darren explores Jesus' promise of the Holy Spirit as our “Advocate” or “Paraclete” — the One who guides, comforts, strengthens, convicts, teaches, and walks with us daily. From understanding the Holy Spirit as fully God and deeply personal, to learning what it means to surrender and walk in step with Him, this message calls us beyond simply knowing about God to truly living with Him.

Each one of us will leave a legacy, whether intentional or not. Pastor Darren starts the "Leaving a Legacy" series with a call to leave a legacy of loving God, teaching His ways through words and actions.

Psalm 37 Pastor Darren Rogers 

Pastor Darren wraps up the series "More than Just Words", a study on the book of James, with James' exhortation to the practice and power of the prayers of a "righteous" follower of Jesus. Darren points out statistically, the practice of prayer plays a small role for most Canadians. He encourages the congregation, as followers of Jesus, to examine our own prayer life, and what it may imply of our devotion to Jesus Christ.

Pastor Darren continues our relationship series, Thrive, focusing this message on Colossians 3 and how to navigate relationships. He talks about the 4 stages of relationships and how these four stages impact all areas of life.

Easter is glorious, but what happens after the celebration ends? Pastor Darren takes us to the next step: the Holy Spirit. Jesus did not rise, ascend, and then leave His people on their own. He sent the Helper. In this message, we are reminded that the Holy Spirit is not just a concept or a force. He is God with us and in us. He teaches, comforts, guides, convicts, and points us to Jesus. If you are trying to live the Christian life in your own strength, you are missing the power God has already given you. This sermon is a call to know the Holy Spirit more deeply and to stop settling for a version of faith that leaves Him out.

The patience James is calling on followers of Jesus is an attitude of "self-restraint". It starts with an inner attitude with the Holy Spirit's help. Pastor Darren unpacks this passage and how we can apply it in today's social and cultural setting.

Pastor Darren starts a new teaching series called Thrive and it's all about relationships.

Numbers-the book of testing Sunday 12th April 2026 Am Pastor Darren Rogers

James' warning to people who make the pursuit of wealth their god, rather than Jesus. He points out that all they have will rot away. They will be severely judged by God for their pursuit of wealth at the expense and unfair treatment of others. Pastor Darren unpacks this passage and its implications in today's society and culture.

Join us this Sunday as we gather to celebrate Palm Sunday and reflect on the powerful message of the cross. This week, Pastor Darren will be sharing a special message: Two Responses to Christ from Luke 23:33-43. One of the criminals who were hanged railed at him, saying, “Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!” But the other rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.” And he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” And he said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.

God is a missionary God. He seeks the lost and sends His people to do the same. In this message, Pastor Darren walks through the story of Jonah and reminds us that missions is not just for a select few. It is part of the heart of God for all peoples. Jonah resisted God's call, but God pursued him, gave him a second chance, and used him to bring repentance to Nineveh. From beginning to end, the mission was redemptive. This sermon calls us to grow as a missions minded church by praying for missionaries, supporting the work of the gospel, and embracing God's global heart. No nation, people, or culture has a corner on God. His grace is for all.

What if everything you've been told about submission, dating, and gender roles… isn't the full story?In this powerful episode of Dear Future Husband, Christian Bevere sits down with Pastor Darren Whitehead from Church of the City for an honest, biblical conversation that challenges assumptions and calls believers back to truth.Together, they unpack what biblical submission really means—moving beyond cultural extremes and misunderstandings to rediscover God's design for mutual honor, strength, and order in marriage. Is submission about silence and control, or is it something far deeper and more powerful?They also dive into dating through a biblical lens, asking the hard questions many avoid:How do you truly evaluate someone for marriage?Are you choosing based on feelings, or fruit?What does wisdom—not culture—say about compatibility?This conversation tackles the often controversial topic of gender roles in the Bible. What did Scripture actually intend? Where has the modern church gotten it right—or wrong? And how do we live this out in a way that reflects both truth and grace? Whether you're single, dating, or preparing for marriage, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.Pray while you wait with Future Husband, Present Prayers and trust God with your love story with the Dear Future Husband Prayer Journal.

In Acts 6, Stephen is described as a man full of the Holy Spirit, wisdom, faith, grace, and power. Not a platform preacher. A table server. A volunteer. Yet when pressure came, what spilled out of him looked like Jesus.This week we ask a simple question: When your life is shaken, what comes out?Crisis does not create what is inside of us. It reveals it. And the Christian life is not about trying harder or mastering spiritual practices. It is about being filled again and again with the presence of the Holy Spirit.In this message, Pastor Darren walks through what it means to be full of the Spirit, full of wisdom, full of faith, full of grace, and full of power, and how real transformation happens not through self effort, but through surrender.

In Mark 1:14–20, Jesus begins His ministry with an urgent invitation: the kingdom of God is near. Repent, believe, and follow. In this message, Pastor Darren challenges us to see that following Jesus is not just a one time decision, but a daily posture of obedience. As Jesus calls ordinary fishermen to drop their nets and follow Him immediately, we are reminded that God still takes the initiative, interrupts our routines, and invites us into something bigger than comfort and convenience. Pastor Darren shares how spiritual growth often comes through small, everyday yeses that train our hearts to trust God with bigger steps over time. If you feel stuck in routine or your faith has grown dull, this message is a reset: listen for God's prompting, surrender control, and keep saying yes to Jesus. What is one everyday yes God is inviting you to say this week?

Pastor Darren continues our current series on the Fierce Love of God, looking at another reference to the Jealousy of God in Song of Solomon 8.

Pastor Darren teaches from Acts 3 and invites us to recover a simple truth. Healing was never meant to be unusual for the people of Jesus. In the early church it was normal for God to meet people in their pain, restore what was broken and reveal his Kingdom through ordinary disciples who made themselves available.Through the story of the man at the Beautiful Gate and the testimonies coming from our own community, Pastor Darren shows how Jesus continues his ministry through the Church today. This message calls us to lay down a powerless version of faith, raise our expectations and learn to pray with compassion, courage and trust.If you have ever wondered how healing fits into everyday discipleship, this teaching will help you step toward a bigger and more hopeful view of what life with Jesus can look like.

Pastor Darren continues his current teaching series out of Hebrews 12 giving us a fresh look at how our present trials and situations serve a much greater purpose than just being hardships here on earth, but how these trials are preparing us for something much greater. Thank you for listening to our podcast!

What does real devotion look like in a world built around comfort and convenience? In this message, Pastor Darren looks at Acts 2:42–47 and shows us a picture of the first church. It was a community of people devoted to Jesus, devoted to one another, and devoted to His mission.So much of faith today can become about consuming spiritual content, showing up to events, or chasing comfort. But the call of Jesus is different. He invites us to be all in. To live in a way that reflects heaven on earth. To be a people shaped by Scripture, filled with the Spirit, and committed to love.This teaching will help you see what the church was meant to be and how to live with wholehearted devotion in an age of consumerism.

What if the biggest growth barrier in your church… is your leadership pipeline?In this week's Fly on the Wall Podcast, I sit down with Pastor Darren from Oklahoma to talk about the difference between discipleship and leadership development, the qualities that set apart high-capacity leaders, and how to stop leaving leadership to chance.Here's what we get into in Episode 191:Why “just being discipled” isn't enoughWhat Jesus modeled in leadership circles—and how to do the sameThe exact traits we look for when apprenticing potential leadersHow to identify grit, hunger, and trajectoryWhy high-level leaders change everythingIf your dream is to multiply your reach, expand your impact, and develop leaders who build leaders, this episode is a must.

Many followers of Jesus live with a faith that feels powerless. We settle for behavior management, curated church experiences, and good ideas rather than stepping into the life Jesus promised. But the book of Acts tells a different story. Ordinary men and women were filled with the Holy Spirit and became powerful witnesses of the risen Jesus.In this message, Pastor Darren unpacks Acts 1:8 and teaches on what it means to receive and grow in the power of the Holy Spirit. Power is not about hype or performance. It is the Spirit's presence enabling us to live transformed lives, proclaim the gospel, heal the sick, and partner with God's mission in the world.If you've ever wondered why your faith feels empty or how to experience more of God's presence and power, this teaching will give you a framework for stepping into it.

Jesus' final words set the tone for everything that follows in the book of Acts. In Acts 1:8, He promises power through the Holy Spirit and calls His followers to be His witnesses. Ordinary people are invited to live lives that point to Him in every place, from the familiar to the farthest ends of the earth.In this message, Pastor Darren unpacks what it truly means to be a witness. It is not about consumer Christianity or simply sharing information. It is about embodying the reality of the risen Christ. Our lives, our communities, and our everyday choices become a testimony that Jesus is alive.This is the mission every Christian is called into: to live empowered by the Spirit, reflect Jesus to the world, and join God's story of renewal.
