  • God Has A Purpose For Everyone

    Everyone matters to God, and every person deserves to experience the love of Jesus.

    In this message, Pastor David Norris, Preston, and Pastor Randy share how God is working through Healing Hands Outreach Center and City Recovery to transform lives and make a difference in our local community.

    Through Healing Hands, we meet practical needs and serve individuals and families facing difficult circumstances, showing them the love of Jesus through compassion and generosity. Through City Recovery, we’re witnessing lives transformed, chains broken, and people finding freedom from addiction, hurts, habits, and hangups.

    So what is God calling you to do next? Whether it’s serving others, giving generously, getting connected with recovery resources, or taking a step forward in your own walk with Christ, there’s an opportunity for everyone to make a difference.

  • What Keeps The Church Alive?

    Generational Faith ❤️ What does it look like to be a church where every generation has a place, a purpose, and a part to play?

    In today’s message, we’re reminded of the power of a multigenerational church and the responsibility we have to carry our faith forward. The faithfulness of one generation can become the foundation for the next, and together, we can build a legacy that points people to Jesus for generations to come.

  • What is God’s Vision For The Church?

    Take a look at the story of City Church and how God has grown our church through generations of generosity. From investing in the next generation and reaching people around the world through our online campus, to serving our local community, providing recovery services, building campuses, spreading the Gospel globally, helping save 15 families from slavery, and providing 60 clean water wells, God has done incredible things through City. And He’s not done yet. This is the heart of God and the vision of City Church.

  • Can The Rich Enter Heaven?

    What are you holding onto that God may be asking you to release?
    This week, we continued our Legacy series by looking at the story of the rich man who came to Jesus and was challenged to let go of his possessions and follow Him.

    God is bigger than anything we can own or accomplish in our time on earth. A life that leaves a lasting legacy begins with humility, letting go of the baggage we carry, and making ourselves available for God to use.

    Our lives matter. What we do with them matters. And the legacy we leave begins with choosing to follow Jesus.

    Thanks for joining us from East, Downtown, and online!

  • How Can I Make An Impact?

    What kind of legacy are you leaving?

    As we continue our Legacy series, we take a closer look at the weight of eternity and what it means to live with an eternal perspective. God has given each of us unique gifts, a story, and resources, and He invites us to use them for something bigger than ourselves.

    In this message, we explore how serving, sharing our testimony, and giving generously can help us make an eternal impact and point others toward Jesus. Our legacy is shaped by what we choose to do with what God has placed in our hands today.

    Whether through our time, our story, or our finances, we have an opportunity to invest in God’s Kingdom and impact lives both here at home and around the world.

    What legacy will you leave behind?

  • How To Be Active In The Church

    What kind of legacy are you leaving behind?

    Today at City Church, we talked about the power of living a life that leaves a legacy. You make a living by what you get, but you leave a legacy by what you give.

    Following Jesus means being willing to sacrifice our time, finances, resources, and comfort to help advance His Kingdom. When we give generously and pour into others, we create opportunities for people to encounter Christ, find hope, and experience life change.

    Our legacy isn’t simply what we accomplish for ourselves. It’s what we invest into others and what we leave behind for generations to come.

  • Is My Friend Group Toxic?

    The people you choose to surround yourself with can make a huge difference in the direction of your life.

    In this message, we talk about the power of having the right relationships around you and how God can use community to bring healing, restoration, and growth. We were never meant to walk through life or our faith alone. The right people can encourage you, challenge you, support you, and help you become who God has called you to be.

    That’s why groups at City Church matter. Groups are more than just getting together. They are a place to build family, grow in faith, serve others, and lead people toward their God given purpose.

    If you haven’t joined a group yet, this is your invitation. Find the right people and take the next step into community.

    Love People. Build Family. Lead to Destiny.

  • There’s Room for You

    Jesus wants His house full. ❤️

    In today’s message from our Neighbors series, Pastor David challenges us to see the people around us the way Jesus does and to make room for everyone in His house. There are people who may feel hidden, overlooked, or forgotten, and we’re called to go after them, invite them in, and help them discover the hope and love of Jesus.

    No matter where you are in your journey, there is a place for you in God’s house.

  • The Road of Redemption

    No matter where you’ve been or what you’ve walked through, God is still writing your story. In this message, “The Road of Redemption,” we look at how God meets us in our brokenness, leads us through the journey, and brings redemption to every part of our lives.

    Your past does not disqualify you. Your mistakes do not have the final word. There is hope, restoration, and purpose on the road God has called you to walk.

  • How To Be a Good Neighbor

    In this message, PD walks us through the story of the Good Samaritan and challenges us to live like Christ by choosing humility, compassion, and love for all people. Being a good neighbor isn’t just about who lives next door. It’s about being willing to see people, serve people, and love people the way Jesus does.

    As you watch, ask yourself: Who is God calling me to love, serve, and be a neighbor to?

  • Does God Hear My Prayers?

    What kind of prayers does God answer?

    In this powerful message, we explore how the posture of our hearts matters just as much as the words we pray. Prayer is more than a routine or religious practice. It’s an invitation into relationship with God. As we align our hearts with His will through humility, faith, surrender, and obedience, we position ourselves to experience His presence and see Him move in powerful ways.

  • The Greatest Gift

    Today was a powerful Baptism Sunday at City Church!

    We celebrated as people publicly declared their faith in Jesus through water baptism, taking their next step in following Him. Every story represents the life changing grace of God, and we are honored to witness new life in Christ.

  • How The Holy Spirit Can Help Us Every Day

    The Holy Spirit isn’t meant to be a distant idea. He is our Helper, our Guide, and our constant source of strength every single day.

    In this message, Pastor David shares how the Holy Spirit empowers us to navigate life’s challenges, grow in our faith, and walk in the purpose God has for us. Whether you’re new to faith or have been following Jesus for years, this teaching will encourage you to rely on the Holy Spirit in your everyday life.

  • How To Live A Blessed Life

    What does it really mean to live a blessed life?

    In this Father’s Day message, Pastor David shares a powerful teaching on The Blessed Life and how God’s design for our priorities leads to true fulfillment and purpose. Many people seek blessings while living out of order, but God’s Word shows us a better way.

    Discover why putting God first, followed by your spouse, children, work and career, and then church creates the foundation for a healthy, fruitful life. When our priorities are aligned with God’s plan, we can experience the fullness of life He intended for us.

    Whether you’re a father, spouse, parent, or simply seeking to grow in your faith, this message will challenge and encourage you to examine what’s first in your life.

  • Why God Prunes Us

    What does it mean to live a truly fruitful life?

    In this message from our Holy Spirit series, Pastor David explores the pruning process and how the Holy Spirit works in our lives to remove the things that keep us from becoming all God has called us to be. While pruning isn’t always comfortable, it is a necessary part of spiritual growth and transformation.

    As we learn to surrender to the Holy Spirit’s work, we begin to bear the fruit that comes from a life connected to Jesus. Whether you’re in a season of growth, challenge, or change, this message will encourage you to trust God’s process and remain rooted in Him.
