City Life Church San DiegoMatthew 1:1-17 Genealogy To Gospel: Why Jesus’ Family Tree MattersSend us a textA list of names shouldn’t feel this alive, but Matthew’s genealogy refuses to play it safe. We walk through a family tree that breaks the rules of ancient PR, naming women, highlighting outsiders, and refusing to hide the failures of kings. That tension is the doorway to hope: Jesus is both the promised Son of David and the Son of Man who knows our pain, our mixed histories, and our messy homes. Royal credentials meet radical compassion, and the result is a Savior who can both claim the throne and sit besi...

We open Matthew 2 and watch two paths unfold—Herod gripping a fragile throne and the Magi crossing borders to bow at the feet of a child. That collision sets the tone for a message about surrender, honest devotion, and the kind of life that begins when we finally step out of the seat we were never built to occupy.We walk through three anchoring truths. First, Jesus only reigns where we relinquish control, and that means more than spiritual talk—it means handing Him...

We turn to Peter—the impulsive fisherman who stumbled, denied, and then led—because his words were forged in failure and refined by grace. Walking through 1 Peter 5:6–14, we explore how humility becomes a strategy for survival, a posture of courage, and a pathway to joy when pressure rises.We start with the kind of humility that trusts God in the mess. “Cast your cares” is more than a slogan; it’s a fisherman’s motion repeated until...

We walk through Colossians 1 and confront our habit of adding to Jesus—mixing the gospel with performance, mysticism, or self-help—and show why only Christ can carry the full weight of our identity, purpose, belonging, security, and hope. This isn’t about nice ideas; it’s about a new center of gravity that steadies your soul.We begin with a tender family story of faithfulness and longing, t...

2025-11-2342 minCity Life Church San DiegoPreparing For Prayer, Practicing Love, Serving With Strength God Gives.Send us a textWe open 1 Peter 4:7–11 and see a blueprint for a meaningful life: prepare for prayer, practice constant love, and serve from the strength God provides. Along the way, we sit with Peter’s paradoxical story—rash and brave, fearful and faithful, broken and restored—and let his hard-won wisdom reframe how we spend our days.We start with the line that wakes the soul: the end of all things is near. Not doom-saying, but completion language that calls us to clear space and become sober-minded for prayer. You’ll hear practical...
2025-11-1640 minCity Life Church San Diego1 Peter 4:1-6 Holiness Looks Like Rebellion Against Your Own DesiresSend us a textWhat if the parts of you that feel most contradictory are the very places God plans to build something strong? We sit with the hard truth that transformation invites friction. Old crowds get confused when you stop saying yes to the flood—unrestrained behavior, lust, drunkenness, idolatry—and sometimes they push back. Through vivid analogies (from “cat brain” instincts to the tadpole becoming a frog), we explore why holiness is not grim self-denial, but a reordering of desire. Sobriety, fidelity, simplicity, and generosity don’t shrink life; they expand it. Stories from everyd...

2025-11-0640 minCity Life Church San Diego1 Peter 3: 8-22 Hope That Sustains When Life HurtsSend us a textStruggle has a way of exposing what we really believe. Today we open 1 Peter 3:8–22 and sit with the hard stuff—criticism inside the church, pressure from outside, and the gnawing sense that the internet disciples us more than Scripture. From that honest place, we map a path toward a credible witness: prepare your story of hope, answer with gentleness and reverence, and protect the unity that tells the world Jesus is enough.I share why “being ready to give a defense” starts in the heart, not the comment section. Preparation looks like wri...
2025-11-0540 minCity Life Church San DiegoPower in Submission 1 Peter 2:11-25, 3:1-7Send us a textA fisherman who swung a sword became a shepherd who healed with words. That turn—from impulse to wisdom—is why Peter’s voice still cuts through noise and outrage with a simple challenge: live so honorably that slander turns into worship. We open 1 Peter 2–3 and sit with hard lines about submission, authority, and suffering, refusing shortcuts and clichés. Our aim is clarity with courage: what does it look like to be an exile who carries peace into workplaces, neighborhoods, and homes without compromising obedience to God?Abstain from soul-war desires...

Psalm 124 dares us to look back with clear eyes and honest hearts, and that’s exactly where we go—into memory, testimony, and the kind of gratitude that changes how we face the next storm.We start by unpacking the Songs of Ascent, the ancient road music Israel used as they climbed toward Jerusalem. Short and strong, these psalms trained the soul for worship. From there, we read Psalm 124 as a guided prayer and ask a hard...

We turn to 1 Peter 1:22–25 and walk through a bracing, hope-filled vision: the grass withers, the flowers fall, and yet the word of the Lord endures forever. That living word isn’t just ink on a page; it’s Jesus—the Logos—who remakes imperfect people and forms them into a family that lasts. Along the way, we sit with Peter’s contradictions and find our own: brave and afraid, faithful and messy. His story becomes permission to co...

2025-09-2353 minCity Life Church San DiegoFinding God When the World Burns: Daniel's Lessons for Dark TimesSend us a textDaniel's extraordinary courage wasn't rooted in guaranteed divine rescue, but in faithful obedience when death seemed certain. His friends declared they would not bow to idols whether God saved them or not. This perspective transforms how we understand faith during dark times. God doesn't promise to extinguish every fire, but He guarantees His presence within them.The mysterious visions Daniel received - some so profound even he couldn't fully comprehend them - teach us humility about spiritual matters.

2025-09-1737 minCity Life Church San DiegoFinding God When Life Has You on the Struggle BusSend us a textThis powerful message unpacks three transformative practices from Daniel's life that can revolutionize your own spiritual journey. First, look to God's Word as your primary source of wisdom and direction. In a candid moment of self-reflection, the speaker reveals how easily we consume hours of entertainment and social media while dedicating mere minutes to scripture. Yet Daniel immersed himself in prophecy, finding hope and direction when everything around him had collapsed.Second, embrace confession as a pathway to maturity, not a sign of weakness. Daniel—though known for his exceptional ch...
2025-09-0737 minCity Life Church San DiegoKingdoms Rise, Kingdoms Fall, But God Never ChangesSend us a textThe Book of Daniel contains some of the most precise prophecies in Scripture—visions of rams, goats, and horns that accurately foretold the rise and fall of ancient empires. When Daniel received these apocalyptic glimpses, he was physically overcome, "sick for days" at the destruction they revealed. His reaction mirrors God's own heart: not celebrating judgment but grieving over those who reject Him.This episode unpacks three profound truths from Daniel 8. First, everything on earth fades, but God's kingdom endures forever. The mightiest empires—from Babylon to Greece to Rome—have crumbl...
2025-09-0244 minCity Life Church San DiegoThree Things to Remember When the World Seems Out of ControlSend us a text In this eye-opening exploration of Daniel 7, we dive into one of scripture's most powerful apocalyptic visions—four terrifying beasts rising from a chaotic sea, representing kingdoms that seemed unstoppable in their time.The vision pulls back the curtain on human history, revealing what's happening behind the scenes from heaven's perspective. These beasts—representing Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome—appear supreme and unconquerable. Yet Daniel watches as each one is humbled, subdued, or destroyed by the true King. The pattern continues throughout human history, from Hitler's "thousand-year Reich" that lasted only twelve years t...

Hosting a drunken feast using sacred vessels stolen from Jerusalem's temple, the king mockingly toasts false gods until a mysterious hand appears, writing judgment on the palace wall. The once-mighty Babylon, with its seemingly impenetrable walls and moat, falls that very night to the Persian army - fulfilling prophecies spoken decades earlier.Two crucial marks of wisdom emerge from this ancient story with startling relevance for today. First, wisdom requires sobriety...

Beyond the lions and fiery furnaces lies a profound message about following God when the world demands denial.Daniel's journey through Babylon reveals something unexpected—a steadfast faith that persists not because God promises deliverance from every threat but because He promises never to leave us when the heat turns up. This episode dives into Daniel 2:24-49, where the young prophet interprets King Nebuchadnezzar's mysterious dream of a multi-metallic statue crushed by a stone not cut by human hands.
