We Move Toward the Underdog Generation
January 23, 2022 • Brad Leach • Joshua 14:10–12, Mark 10:13–16, 1 Timothy 5:1–2, Psalm 145:4, Acts 2:14–18
City Life has a long-term vision to adopt an underdog generation into the City Life family and raise them to be emotionally and spiritually healthy leaders of families and churches. What is an underdog generation? Simply put, it’s the younger generation in our city that has enormous potential, yet the odds are stacked against them. It’s not statistics and trends on our minds though, it’s the faces of kids who run and play on the blocks where we live, are growing up in our city, in our church. These are kids and students with unlimited potential that may have significant challenges ahead of them.
Peace For The Storm

Stressed out? We get it. The holiday season is filled with joy but can also be filled with lots and lots of stress. From finding the right gifts to spending time with family - stress can feel impossible to escape. But there is peace this Christmas season. The entire Christmas story is filled with hope! It’s true that Jesus is the reason for the season, and with that comes peace, hope, and so much joy.
Keep Looking Up
December 12, 2021 • Brad Leach • Psalm 28:7, Psalm 121, Luke 21:27–28, Deuteronomy 33:29, Psalm 10:14
Are you feeling tired and hopeless? Maybe there is just a heaviness about life that you’re carrying around. We want to encourage you to cross the finish line of 2021 with a feeling of optimism and hope. When you want to lift your spirits higher, lift your eyes to God! Your focus matters and if you focus on Jesus by looking up, things will start to look up too!
God: Our Triune Creator
October 31, 2021 • Brad Leach • Malachi 3:6, Deuteronomy 6:4–5, Psalm 139:7–24, 1 Peter 1:13–16, Psalm 90:1–2
Who is God? It’s possible you grew up knowing different versions of God - Guilt God, Bodyguard God, On-demand God. But God's character is much bigger (and better) than all of that! In this message, we want to teach you what is probably the most important doctrine we have as believers, and that is “The Doctrine of God. Not because He is a concept to be understood, but because He is a loving God to be worshipped!
