What does it look like to build a church that impacts future generations? In this powerful message from Pastor Robey Barnes at City Rev Church, the vision behind One Generation comes to life through Psalm 48, reminding us that we are called to carry the presence of God into our city as “living stones.” From celebrating the largest family dedication in City Rev history to sharing updates on the future of our church—including the Miami Springs campus, digital discipleship, and the vision for generations to come—this message is both deeply theological and highly practical. As the church moves forward together, Pastor Robey challenges us to fully surrender to Jesus, become doers of the Word, and invest our lives in what God is building across South Florida.

In this message from our Something Real series, Pastor Robey unpacks the immeasurable greatness of God's power found in Ephesians 1:15–23. Through the power of the cross, the resurrection, and the ascension, we see that Jesus didn't just save us from sin—He raised us into new life and seated us with Him in authority. This message challenges us to stop living with a powerless faith and begin praying boldly, walking in victory, and trusting the Holy Spirit to lead every part of our lives. No matter what you're facing, there is power available through Jesus that can change everything.

Roberts, Robey and Sharp shine against GWS by The Lunchtime Catch Up

Guest host Pastor Jake Schnoor spoke with Robey and Abby Reddin this week about meeting Christ, meeting each other, and making their way to Guam.

In this message from our Something Real series, Pastor Robey walks through Ephesians 1 and reminds us that what we have in Christ isn't temporary—it's secure. Through Jesus, we've been given an inheritance, and through the Holy Spirit, we've been sealed and marked as God's own. This isn't just theology—it's personal. The Spirit is our guarantee, a real and present experience of what's to come. If you've ever questioned where you stand with God or what it looks like to truly live in Him, this message will challenge you to lean in, walk in the Spirit, and experience the fullness of what God has already promised.

Robey shines but the Bombers defensive game doesn't by The Lunchtime Catch Up

In this message from Something Real, Pastor Robey walks through Ephesians 1:7–10, revealing the power of the gospel as a story of redemption. We were once trapped in sin, but through Jesus—our ransom—we've been forgiven, made new, and brought back to life by grace, not works. This sermon unpacks God's greater plan, showing how everything in history is being brought together in Christ. Through powerful biblical examples and the truth of “recapitulation,” you'll see how Jesus is the one who holds it all together—restoring what was broken and redeeming every part of our story.

In Week 2 of Something Real, Pastor Robey unpacks Ephesians 1:3–7 to reveal that the spiritual blessings we have in Christ aren't distant or abstract—they're real, present, and meant to be lived out today. From being chosen for holiness, to adopted as sons and daughters, to redeemed through the blood of Jesus, this message reframes our identity and reminds us of the freedom we already have. Challenging the “vault” mentality that pushes these truths to the background, Pastor Robey calls us to stop striving through religion, step into vulnerability, and seek Jesus as our source in every season.

What does it actually mean to be a “saint”—and where does your identity really come from? In the first message of our Something Real series, Pastor Robey Barnes walks through Ephesians 1 to show that our identity isn't something we earn through performance, but something we receive by grace through Jesus. In a world full of pressure to prove yourself, this message invites you to stop chasing approval and start living from the truth of who God already says you are—set apart, chosen, and deeply loved.

In this Good Friday message, Pastor Robey Barnes leads City Rev Church through a powerful and reflective journey of Jesus' final moments—from the surrender in the Garden of Gethsemane to the trial before Pilate and ultimately the crucifixion. This isn't a typical celebration service; it's an invitation to slow down and sit in the weight of what Jesus truly endured. As the contrast unfolds between Pilate's self-preservation and Jesus' self-sacrifice, we're challenged to examine our own lives—are we holding on, or have we fully surrendered? The service concludes with communion, creating space to remember the broken body and shed blood of Christ and respond with hearts laid down before Him.

In this Easter message, Pastor Robey Barnes unpacks the life-changing reality of the resurrection and what it means for us today. As we step into the story of the empty tomb, we're reminded that Easter isn't just something that happened—it's something that still changes everything. The same power that rolled the stone away is still at work, meeting us in the middle of our struggles, fears, and the things we can't move on our own. Whether it's religion, success, or self-preservation, Jesus invites us into a new way of living—marked by freedom, hope, and transformation. If you've been feeling stuck or searching for a fresh start, this message is a reminder that the tomb is empty, Jesus is alive, and your story isn't over.

In this Palm Sunday message, Pastor Robey Barnes unpacks Jesus' powerful response to a carefully crafted trap: “Render to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's.” What starts as a political question quickly turns into a deeper, more personal challenge about allegiance. Jesus shifts the focus from coins and government to something far greater—our lives. If a coin bears Caesar's image, it belongs to him… but we bear God's image, which means everything we are ultimately belongs to Him. This message invites us to examine what we're holding back and calls us to fully surrender our hearts, lives, and identity to God.

In this message from The Epic of the City, Pastor Robey Barnes looks at Israel's exile to Babylon and reveals how God used what seemed like defeat to accomplish His greater purpose. Rather than simply surviving in a foreign land, God called His people to settle in, build lives, and seek the Shalom—the peace and flourishing—of the city where they had been sent. In the same way, followers of Jesus today are called to live as faithful exiles in their own communities, praying for broken places and working for the good of the city around them. Even in difficult seasons, God's promise remains true: He has plans to bring hope, restoration, and a future for His people.

CAS 3-2-1-2026 Derek Robey-O'Gorman Boys Basketball Coach by Calling All Sports

In Part 2 of The Epic of the City, we explore one of the most powerful themes in Scripture: the battle between pride and humility. Using the unforgettable story of Larry's lawn chair flight — a man who tried to soar 16,000 feet with weather balloons — this sermon illustrates the danger of self-elevation and the consequences of building our lives on our own glory. From Babylon to Jerusalem, the Bible presents two archetypal cities. Babylon represents self-glory, arrogance, and the pursuit of being “like God.” Jerusalem represents humility, worship, and lifting up the name of the true King. Through Isaiah's vision, the fall of the king of Babylon, and Nebuchadnezzar's humbling in the book of Daniel, we see a clear pattern: internal pride always leads to external collapse. As Augustine wrote in The City of God, the internal fall always precedes the external fall.

In the opening message of The Epic of the City, Pastor Robey Barnes takes us back to Genesis to look at the Tower of Babel and the human tendency to build our lives around making a name for ourselves. He contrasts that story with Abraham's encounter with Melchizedek, showing how true worship isn't about self-promotion, but about lifting up God and serving others. The message reminds us that everyone is always worshiping something—the real question is who gets the glory. The service closes with communion, inviting us to re-center our faith on Jesus and respond to His invitation to live for a greater name than our own.

In At The Well, Part 2, Pastor Robey Barnes continues the story of Isaac and Rebekah in Genesis 24, challenging the way our culture defines compatibility in marriage. Instead of finding someone who fits a fixed version of ourselves, Scripture points us to a deeper truth: real compatibility is formed when two people fix their eyes on God and allow Him to transform them. Through honest stories from early marriage and the grace-filled example of Rebekah, this message speaks to both singles and married couples—inviting us to view our spouse, or future spouse, through God's eyes. Whether you're seeking marriage or growing within it, this sermon reminds us that grace, gratitude, and surrender to Jesus are what truly build a lasting, God-centered relationship.

What if forgiveness is the key to the freedom you've been praying for? In this message from the book of Philemon, Pastor Robey Barnes walks through a powerful and often overlooked letter that challenges how we hold onto hurt, debt, and broken relationships. Through personal stories and Paul's appeal to forgive and reconcile, we're reminded that freedom in Christ isn't just about what He's done for us — it's about what we're willing to release in others. This teaching invites you to examine unforgiveness, let go of what's weighing you down, and experience the transforming power of grace in your relationships and your walk with Jesus.

In the final message of our Foretold Christmas series, Pastor Robey shares Foretold: Peace on Earth, revealing how Jesus' arrival was never an accident. From the very beginning of Scripture, God left clues pointing to the Messiah—culminating in a star that led the world to Bethlehem. That star wasn't just a sign in the sky; it pointed to Jesus Himself, the true Light born in a manger who would change the course of history forever. This message invites us to see Christmas not as coincidence, but as God's carefully written story of peace, hope, and redemption for the world.

In Part 3 of our Foretold Christmas series, Pastor Robey explores how the story of Christmas has always pointed beyond the manger to the resurrection of Jesus. Beginning with a lighthearted family tradition of cutting down a Christmas tree, this message uncovers the deep biblical symbolism behind Christmas and shows how Jesus' resurrection was foretold throughout the Old Testament. Walking through Romans 1 and key prophetic passages, Pastor Robey reveals how the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus are inseparably connected—fueling our faith, giving hope in suffering, and calling us to trust fully in Christ this Christmas.

Foretold, Part 2: The Eternal King continues the Christmas journey by exploring the space between God's promises and their fulfillment. Drawing from Romans and the prophetic promises made to King David, Pastor Robey Barnes unpacks how Jesus is the long-awaited descendant who fulfills God's covenant as the eternal King. From Bethlehem to the throne of heaven, this message reveals how the kingdom of God is both already present and still coming, shaping how believers live, hope, and endure in seasons of waiting and suffering. As we look at Jesus as our Shepherd, Champion, and King, we are reminded that Christmas is not just about anticipation—but about allegiance—calling us to surrender our lives to Christ and live as ambassadors of His peace and justice in the world.

In the first message of our Christmas series Foretold, Pastor Robey Barnes shows that the Christmas story isn't just a sweet holiday tradition—it's the story God has been writing since the beginning. Starting with a funny family Christmas moment (“the dead possum year”), he connects the unexpected parts of our own stories to the surprising way Jesus entered the world: a virgin pregnancy, a trip to Bethlehem, and a manger instead of a crib. Pastor Robey walks through Romans 1 to explain what the gospel really is—good news about a King who has conquered sin and death—and shows how this was foretold all the way back in Genesis and Isaiah. He then gets practical, reminding us that Jesus should be the main character of our lives and that we're all sent to share His story with others. Whether you're exploring faith or looking to be encouraged this Christmas season, this message will point you back to the hope found in Jesus.

In this message, Pastor Robey Barnes gets real about what actually grows our faith — and it's probably not what we often expect. Following Jesus isn't about trying to “level up” our faith so we can get God to do what we want. Instead, real faith grows when we choose to submit to God and trust Him with every part of our lives. Using the story of the ten lepers, Pastor Robey highlights how gratitude changes everything. Only one leper came back to thank Jesus, and that simple act of thankfulness shows us what a surrendered heart looks like. Jesus doesn't owe us anything, yet He invites us into obedience, humility, and a daily rhythm of remembering what He's done. This kind of gratitude pulls us out of entitlement and back into a posture of worship. And as we realign our hearts with God, Jesus heals us from the inside out — replacing the weight of sin with His love, joy, and peace. If you've ever wondered what truly strengthens your faith, this sermon will help you see how obedience, surrender, and everyday thankfulness open the door to real spiritual growth.

In this powerful message, Pastor Robey challenges us to choose obedience over comfort by looking at the story of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh in Numbers 32. These tribes chose to stay on the wrong side of the Jordan because it fit their preferences—but their decision carried lasting consequences for future generations. Through this story, we're reminded that following God's call often requires faith to step into the unknown rather than settling for what's familiar. As our church steps forward in faith—launching a new Miami Springs campus, advancing digital discipleship, and seeking a hub campus along I-75—this message calls every believer to move with God's mission and not miss out on the blessing of full obedience.

In the finale of our biggest series ever, Pastor Robey Barnes delivers a powerful message on victory through the book of Haggai. Drawing a striking parallel between the celebrations at the end of World War II and the ultimate victory found in Jesus Christ, Pastor Robey traces the prophetic line from Zerubbabel to Christ — the promised “seed” who conquered sin and death. This message calls us to live as people who are already victorious, to walk in the freedom and power Jesus has secured for us, and to rise as One Generation that builds God's kingdom, transforms South Florida, and leaves a legacy for future generations. The sermon culminates in a moving vision of spiritual awakening — with children's prayers and testimonies that display the transformative power of the Holy Spirit at work among us.

This week at City Rev, Pastor Robey Barnes continued the One Generation series with Part 4: The Provision, a powerful message rooted in Haggai 2:15–19. Pastor Robey drew parallels between the Israelites' journey, the WWII victory gardens, and City Rev's vision to build for future generations. He reminded us that God turns seasons of scarcity into blessing when His people prioritize His house and live in obedience. Through stories of faith, reflection, and the call to sacrificial giving, the church was invited to commit—spiritually and financially—to the One Generation initiative. The service culminated in communion and prayer, a moving reminder that God's provision always follows our trust in Him.

In Week 3 of the One Generation series, Pastor Robey Barnes encouraged the City Rev Church family to step into God's vision for the next generation in South Florida. Using Haggai 2:1-19, he reminded everyone to “be strong and work,” trusting that God's glory through Jesus will be even greater than what came before. Pastor Robey talked about how past mistakes and ruins don't define us—Jesus is the true temple, and now we, as His followers, are called to bring renewal and hope wherever we go. The service invited people to get involved through mission briefings, use the “One Generation” handbook for guidance, and join in the church's exciting initiatives like the Miami Springs campus, digital innovation, and building a hub campus—all with faith, boldness, and a heart for the future.

City Rev Church LivestreamIn Part 2 of our ONE GENERATION series, Pastor Robey Barnes calls our church to rise up and be part of a mighty move of God. Drawing from Haggai 1 and the sacrifices of past generations, he challenges us to prioritize God's mission over our own comfort and plans. This message unpacks how true fulfillment comes when we surrender everything to Him and join together in His work. Discover how God is stirring our church through bold initiatives—like launching a Miami Springs campus, innovating digital discipleship, and establishing a hub campus in South Florida—and how you can be part of it. Don't miss this powerful call to awaken, trust, and step fully into what God has for this generation.

This week, Pastor Robey Barnes challenges us to see the purpose God has placed on our generation. Through the inspiring story of Daniel Inouye, a World War II hero who displayed incredible courage and sacrifice, and the biblical account of the rebuilding of the Jerusalem temple in Haggai, we're reminded that God is stirring His people for something significant. Just as God moved King Cyrus to resource and lead the rebuilding of the temple, He is at work today, uniting churches across South Florida for a spiritual awakening. Though challenges and opposition will come, the foundation has already been laid — and it's our call to rise up, build, and pass the hope of Jesus to the next generation. Join us as we step into this historic moment together and discover how you can be part of what God is doing through the One Generation movement.

Wrap up our Big God series with Pastor Robey Barnes as he dives into Psalm 139 and the Goldilocks effect to show how perfectly God designed our world — and how deeply He loves you. In this message, we'll tackle the tough question, “If God is good, why does evil exist?” and discover how the gospel brings hope through Jesus' sacrifice. Don't miss this inspiring finale as we step into a season of prayer, fasting, and community through the City Rev app and small groups!

In Prayer, Episode 4: Hearing God's Voice, Pastor Robey Barnes welcomes special guest Jamie Lash, a Messianic Jewish leader and co-founder of Jewish Jewels, to share her remarkable journey of living a life attuned to God's voice. Jamie reflects on her prayer at the moment of her salvation to always hear Him and recounts over 50 years of experiencing His guidance through Scripture, the Holy Spirit, and supernatural encounters. From receiving prophetic words to her unique ministry of writing Bible verses on seashells that have brought healing and salvation to those who find them, Jamie offers inspiring testimonies of God's creativity and love. Together, Robey and Jamie explore the importance of intimate prayer, faith, and cultivating a personal relationship with God, encouraging listeners to seek His voice and trust His presence in their lives.

In this message, Pastor Robey unpacks the incredible truth of God's omnipresence from Psalm 139. We often wonder if anyone sees us in our darkest moments, most unfamiliar places, or times of struggle — but the Bible reminds us that God is always with us. His presence brings both comfort and conviction: comfort because we are never alone, and conviction because His holiness calls us to live authentically before Him. This sermon challenges us to remember, practice, and trust in God's presence in every moment of our lives, so that even in the shadows we can walk in His light and strength.

In the opening message of the Big God series, Pastor Robey Barnes takes us into Psalm 139 to reflect on the immensity of God and His intimate knowledge of our lives. Using the staggering power of a neutron star as an analogy, he highlights God's omniscience—He knows our thoughts, motives, and even the unspoken corners of our hearts. This reality can be both unsettling and comforting: unsettling because nothing is hidden, yet comforting because the One who knows us fully also loves us deeply. The message challenges us to live with reverent fear of God while also running toward Him in faith, finding hope in the saving work of Jesus Christ.

In Prayer, Part 3, Pastor Robey Barnes takes us to Acts 12 to explore how prayer is the “signature move” of every believer—our God-given way to activate His mission on earth. Drawing from Peter's miraculous prison release, Pastor Robey shows how earnest, persistent prayer has the power to break chains, open doors, and unleash God's plans in ways we can't predict. More than a “spiritual cheat code,” prayer is an act of surrender, aligning us with God's sovereign will and trusting that His ways are always good. This message calls us to pray with bold faith, together as the church, and to embrace prayer as the defining action of a life lived on mission.

In the second message of our Prayer Series, Pastor Robey unpacks the story of Mary and Martha to highlight the one thing that matters most—being with Jesus. While Martha was distracted by doing, Mary chose to sit at His feet, receiving what Jesus calls “the good portion.” This sermon challenges us to stop measuring our relationship with God by how much we do for Him, and instead prioritize simply being with Him. Discover what it means to build a prayer life centered on presence, not performance.

In the first message of our Prayers series, Pastor Robey Barnes unpacks what it really means to pray in Jesus' name—and no, it's not like trying to rob a bank with someone else's ID. Praying in His name isn't about using a magic phrase to get what we want; it's about abiding in Christ, aligning with His will, and accessing the power of heaven for His purposes. When we truly understand this, our prayers become powerful, fruitful, and life-changing.

In the final episode of our Conversations series, Pastor Josh sits down with Lead Pastor Robey Barnes for a real and heartfelt conversation about how it all started—from a quiet moment of calling, to an awkward blind date that led to a beautiful marriage, to stepping into the lead pastor role at just 23. Along the way, they share some funny ministry bloopers, talk about the importance of rhythms and rest, and dream about what God could do through a generation fully surrendered to Him. If you've ever wondered what fuels Pastor Robey's passion or what's really at the heart of City Rev, you won't want to miss this one.

In the final message of our All Pro series, Pastor Robey Barnes shares a powerful look at King David—not in his most well-known moments, but in the quiet, often overlooked season before the crown. Long before Goliath, the throne, or the spotlight, God was shaping David to make a real impact in his everyday life. This message challenges the idea that spiritual influence is reserved for the “official” leaders and instead shows how God is calling you to live with purpose right where you are—today, not someday. Discover how your current season, job, or platform might be the exact place God wants to work through you to impact the city around you.
