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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This week, Brad Kirby walks through two powerful passages where Jesus meets three people who want to follow Him but keep offering polite delays. Their hearts are stirred, but their feet stay still. Jesus responds with clarity that following Him is not a part-time commitment. It is a whole-life movement that calls us forward with purpose, urgency, and focus. If you have ever struggled with hesitation, excuses, or the fear of taking the next step, this message helps you see what it means to live your faith on the move, not just in theory.

Every road leads somewhere. Some feel easy at first but end in ruin, and some feel costly at the start but lead to life. In this week's Radical message, Brad Kirby teaches through Matthew 7:13–29 and shows how Jesus ends the Sermon on the Mount with a call to choose wisely. The narrow road, the healthy tree, the true disciple, and the firm foundation all point to one simple truth. Life with Jesus is the only road that lasts. If you've ever wondered how to tell the real thing from the fake, or how to build a faith that stands when pressure hits, Jesus gives the answer right here. He is not offering suggestions. He is offering life.

This week, Brad Kirby teaches from Matthew 7:7–12, where Jesus invites us to stop striving and start trusting. Prayer isn't a transaction; it's an expression of love between a Father and His children. When we ask, seek, and knock, we're not trying to get God's attention. We're responding to the God who already loves us. And in that space of dependence, we discover that the best gift isn't what He gives. It's who He is.

Judging others is easy. Seeing ourselves clearly? That's hard. In this week's Radical message, Josh Fortney walks through Matthew 7:1–6, where Jesus teaches us how to judge with humility, mercy, and wisdom. Jesus doesn't tell us to stop using discernment. He calls us to check our motives, confront our own sin, and restore others gently. True judgment doesn't condemn — it helps people see clearly. Whether you tend to be overly critical or overly cautious, this message shows how followers of Jesus can balance truth and grace in relationships that reflect His heart.

This week, Brad Kirby walks us through Jesus' teaching on worry in Matthew 6:25–34. Jesus calls us to live by faith rather than fear, reminding us that our heavenly Father already knows what we need. When we seek God first, He handles the rest. Whether you're facing financial stress, health concerns, or an uncertain future, this message shows how trusting God can replace anxiety with peace.

This Sunday, Brad Kirby walks through one of Jesus' most challenging teachings on money and the heart. In Matthew 6:19–24, Jesus warns against storing up treasures on earth and reminds us that our money always follows our heart. It's not about guilt, it's about freedom. When we stop serving money and start trusting God, we find joy, purpose, and peace that no dollar can buy. Looking for practical insight on biblical stewardship and contentment? This message will help you see wealth, work, and worship through the lens of eternity.

This week, we're taking a one-week break from our Radical series for a one-off message from David Marvin called "The 10 Truths That Hold Up a Healthy Church." In this message, David walks through ten biblical truths that form the foundation of a Christ-centered church. A healthy church is built on unity, humility, generosity, faithfulness, and love, all centered on the person and mission of Jesus Christ. These truths remind us that the strength of the church is not in what we do but in who we follow. A church that stands on Jesus and lives out His Word becomes a light to the world around it.

Instead, it reflects the heart of the Father, who shows kindness to both the righteous and the unrighteous. This message in the Radical series reminds us that God's love for us is the model for how we are to love others. Radical love is not about convenience or comfort. It is about living in a way that reveals the mercy and grace of our Father in heaven.

When we forgive, when we care for the hurting, when we extend grace, we reflect the heart of our Father. This message in the Radical series reminds us that God's mercy to us is meant to flow through us. Radical mercy is not about what people deserve.
