City Life Church San DiegoAsh Wednesday: Psalm 13:1-6 How Long, O LordSend a textHope doesn’t begin where pain ends; it begins where honesty does. For our special Ash Wednesday Service, We open the door on weariness from a broken world, and let Psalm 13 teach us how to bring unfiltered grief to God without losing our grip on joy. Along the way we sit with Job’s protest, David’s hunted years, and Jesus’ own cry of abandonment to confront a hard truth: faithfulness doesn’t exempt us from suffering. It shapes us through it.You’ll hear why escapism and cynicism both fail the soul, and ho...
2026-02-2022 minCity Life Church San Diego2 Peter 1:16 Why Peter Staked His Life On JesusSend a textMyths are fun until they ask for nothing and change no one. We’re taking a hard look at why Peter refused to call Jesus a legend, staking his life on what he heard and saw: the transfiguration’s blinding light, a voice from heaven, a crucified teacher sharing meals after death. Eyewitness courage matters, especially when it costs everything and pays in persecution rather than fame. If it were a hoax, it would be the worst one ever devised.We also follow the long arc of Scripture that points straight to Jesu...
2026-02-1837 minCity Life Church San DiegoHoliness And Justice Belong Together Or Both FailSend a textOutrage is easy. Obedience is hard. We open the gap between those two with a candid look at why God rejects empty worship and how real justice begins with small, faithful acts right where we live. Anchored in Jeremiah 7 and Amos 5, we wrestle with performative faith, the burnout of nonstop news, and the illusion that posting, marching, or chanting can substitute for loving our neighbor. Then we get practical: how tutoring a student, serving in a food pantry, joining a local rec council, or showing up for oversight work can reshape a neighborhood—and ou...
2026-02-1046 minCity Life Church San Diego2 Peter 1:1-15 Tools For Godly LivingSend a textGod has given us everything required for life and godliness, and the difference between drift and growth is whether we pick up those tools.Humility anchors it all. If Peter can call our faith equal to his, the ground truly is level at the cross. That frees us from performance and invites us into steady, Spirit-powered effort that bears fruit over time. Life is short, hope is real, and today still counts. If you’re new to faith, returning after a long gap, or hungry for more than spiritual motion, this conversation wi...
2026-02-1040 minCity Life Church San DiegoActs 2 Why A Healthy Church Feels Like HomeSend us a textWhat if church felt less like a weekly lecture and more like a living room where people actually carry your burdens, share your meals, and fight for your hope when your arms get tired? We dive into Acts 2 to rediscover koinonia—real fellowship that is public, messy, joyful, and life‑giving.We start by flipping the common “minimum vs maximum” questions on their head and ask a better one: how do we best honor God and each other? From there, we unpack the early church’s rhythms—devotion to Scripture, shared tables, pers...
2026-01-2747 minCity Life Church San Diego1 Corinthians 9:19 Winning Hearts By Meeting People Where They AreSend us a textTruth that can’t be heard won’t heal, so we get practical about how to make good news sound like good news. We open with honest stories about miscommunication that land laughs and lessons, then move into Paul’s charge in 1 Corinthians 9: become all things to all people so that some might be saved. We talk plainly about why tone, timing, and translation are spiritual disciplines, not window dressing, and how that conviction shapes a church that chooses mission over comfort.From there, we trace two ditches—rule‑keeping that multiplies...
2026-01-2140 minCity Life Church San DiegoStop Owning People Online And Start Baking CookiesSend us a textRivalries are loud right now—online, at the table, even in the pews. We open 1 Corinthians 1 and see ourselves in Corinth’s mirror: factions, favorite teachers, and a drift toward cultural patterns that slice the church into teams. Then we go deeper, tracing how the gospel doesn’t just save us for later; it remakes us now—tearing down dividing walls and forming a new creation where enemies become family and secondary issues lose their grip.We share four habits that turn listeners into peacemakers: forgive quickly, apologize honestly, communicate clearly, and choo...
2026-01-1143 minCity 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...
2025-12-2837 minCity Life Church San DiegoWhat Changes When Jesus Sits On Your ThroneSend us a textPower makes noise; true kingship makes hearts kneel. 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...
2025-12-2141 minCity Life Church San Diego1 Peter 5:6-14 Radical Humility: Trusting God Above The FogSend us a textWhat do you hold onto when life feels like fog and you are in the dark? 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...
2025-12-1439 minCity Life Church San DiegoHe’s All We Got, He’s All We NeedSend us a textWhat if the restless ache you keep trying to fix with busyness, success, or even family devotion is really a hunger for Christ’s supremacy? 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 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, do visibl...
2025-10-2838 minCity Life Church San DiegoPsalms 124: If the Lord Hadn’t Been On Our SideSend us a textWhat if the only reason you’re still standing is because God was on your side? 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...

Peter's powerful letter to the "diaspora" speaks directly to anyone who has ever felt like they don't quite belong—whether you're an immigrant, a refugee, or simply a Christian trying to navigate an increasingly hostile cultural landscape.The feeling of displacement is familiar to many. Some of us have been rejected by family for our faith. Others find ourselves politically homeless, unable to fully align with either conservative or liberal ideologies.

2025-09-2353 minCity Life Church San DiegoFinding God When the World Burns: Daniel's Lessons for Dark TimesSend 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. When Daniel prayed desperately for his suffering people, heaven heard immediately, though answers...
2025-09-1737 minCity Life Church San DiegoFinding God When Life Has You on the Struggle BusSend 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 character—didn...
2025-09-0737 minCity Life Church San DiegoKingdoms Rise, Kingdoms Fall, But God Never ChangesSend 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 crumbled to dus...
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...
