Bright City Church SermonsWholly Abiding Youth Director Jon DeYonker continues our Becoming Bright City series as we explore the words of Jesus in John 15. In this message we hold the call to remain in the love of Jesus in parallel with Jesus' commandment to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. In doing so we discover that we have practices for the parts of ourselves that may have tension with one another to abide in Jesus with our whole-selves.

Bright City Church SermonsGreater Than Both Faith and Fear Continuing through the gospel of Matthew in our Heaven Meets Earth series we come to the passage of Jesus and Peter walking on water. Youth Director Jon DeYonker, reflects on the tension Peter experienced being lost somewhere between both faith and fear. In this sermon Jon challenges and encourages believers to see past both and focusing on Christ alone, by rendering what faith we do have to him, to seek first his kingdom, and to worship Jesus, because it is in Jesus alone that heaven meets earth.

Bright City Church SermonsJoy In this Advent sermon, Jon DeYonker encourages us to lift our eyes above the cultures vision for Christmas to a ‘A Higher Joy’ found in the arrival of Jesus. He contrasts the fleeting happiness of material possessions and perfect moments with the "good news of great joy for all people", as announced at Christ's birth. With our joy set on Christ and His salvation we can be a people who live marked by joy even amidst the struggles and pains of life.
