  • How Can I Find Peace?

    Campus Pastor Jake Box unpacks what it truly means to stay green spiritually. When we root our lives in Jesus—the true source of life—we remain refreshed, strengthened, and aligned with God’s purpose for our future.
    Drawing from Scripture, Pastor Jake shows why deep roots in our relationship with God matter. When we plant ourselves by the living water, we don’t wither under pressure. Instead, we grow, flourish, and stay connected to God’s plan no matter the season.

    🌿 In this message, you’ll learn:

    • How to find and stay connected to the source of life
    • Why spiritual roots determine spiritual fruit
    • How staying planted in God’s presence leads to growth, stability, and purpose

  • Why Being Thankful Changes Everything

    This week at City Church, we leaned into the power of a thankful heart.
    When we choose gratitude—no matter the season—we open the door for God to bring peace, perspective, and joy into our lives.

    In this message, you’ll hear how thankfulness is more than a feeling, how it can shift your mindset, strengthen your faith, and help you recognize God’s goodness right where you are. You’ll also walk away with practical ways to cultivate gratitude in your daily life.

  • What Jesus Meant by the Eye of a Needle

    In this message, Pastor David kicks off our brand-new Deep Roots series with a powerful teaching on Jesus’ words to the rich man about the camel going through the eye of a needle (Matthew 19:24).

    This message challenges us to:

    • Lay down our baggage — the things holding us back from fully following Jesus.
    • Overcome a scarcity mindset — trusting God’s provision instead of living in fear.
    • Walk in humility — allowing Jesus into every area of our lives.
