How can I resist evil?

April 7, 2024 • Mark Bailey • Ephesians 6:10–20

Even though there might be a lot of controversy about the devil, demonic activity and the presence of evil – it is an undeniable reality. There is a real enemy, millions have encountered the forces of evil and the Bible speaks about principalities of darkness.

While we will certainly not look for “the devil behind every bush”, we have to be aware of the fact that this enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy. Jesus however came to give life in all it’s fullness. The call to every believer is to live in the authority of Christ, overcoming the schemes of the evil one. Jesus was often confronted with demonic spirits while He walked the earth and we need to walk in freedom and bring freedom just like Jesus did.

Join us as we learn how to resist evil, because we understand that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities of darkness, you might want to invite someone along

with you.

Rooted in the Church

April 28, 2024 • Tamara Burdon • Colossians 2:6–7

Do we really need the church? If so, why? Some will argue that the church is an antiquated institution that is irrelevant in a postmodern world. How does a local church, like CityChurch, make a difference in a world that seems more chaotic and confused? Together, let’s discover the church’s mystery and beauty and why it matters!

Does God Heal Today?

April 21, 2024 • Mark Bailey • Matthew 10:1–8

One cannot study the life of Jesus without recognizing all the amazing healings and miracles He performed. It was and is a very large part of His ministry. Then we look at the book of Acts and we see many healings and miracles done by believers. As we also study church history, we see many testimonies of healing and miracles. This is a very special blessing and God’s word affirms that He still heals today. The challenge often is that we don’t always see physical healing and that makes us wonder. I believe that God is calling us to contend for what we see in scripture, even in the midst of the mystery. Even when we don’t understand, we can still trust Him for miracles – because He is the same yesterday, today and forever more! Join us as we answer a very difficult question and as we all grow in trusting God to use us to bring His healing to people who need it.

Sharing the Hope that We Have

April 14, 2024 • Mark Bailey • Matthew 5:14–16, Acts 8:4–8, Acts 1:8

We all have a story to tell. Think about your life, your experiences, some of your highs and some of your lows. Most parts of our stories are so unique and special – it’s real. As believers, our lives and our faith are closely linked. The good news about Jesus Christ and the impact that He made in us is the story each of us carry – it’s a story that most would love to hear. Sharing our faith needs to become a way of life, an expression of love and gratitude. It really is bearing witness to the reality of Jesus and all of us can share it. Join us as we take the “religiosity” out of sharing our faith and we explore the most powerful keys to testifying authentically.
