CityBridge Community Church

Teacher: Daniel Smith. As we continue week five of our On Brand series, we see the importance of discipleship and how we can finish the faith race well and leave a meaningful legacy. Drawing from key scriptures like Matthew 28:18-20 and Mark 12:30-31, discover what it means to be a disciple, and see how disciples are made through the "caught and taught" process, as we pass the baton of faith to future generations. The life you have always wanted is found when you give yours away. 🙌 Enjoyed the message? Rate us ⭐⭐⭐⭐️⭐ and leave a review on Apple Podcasts. Want more information about CityBridge Community Church?

Teacher: David Marvin. Welcome to On Brand! We're kicking off the series by delving into the notion of embodying the "On Brand" identity as followers of Christ, in line with the church's vision and values. The aim of the series is to explore the application of these principles and objectives in believers' everyday lives. The term "On Brand" emphasizes five core values for the church: authenticity, Bible-based, community, discipleship, and engagement. Central to the church's mission is the call to guide all individuals toward becoming committed disciples of Christ. The five core "On Brand" values encompass living authentically and transparently, placing faith in the authority of God's Word, fostering genuine community bonds, fostering disciple-making, and actively participating in the world as Christ's representatives. The series is designed to offer practical insights and real-world instances of how believers can embrace these values in their daily existence, fostering enduring and significant transformation in their communities. Being "On Brand" as Christ's followers entails embodying authenticity, rootedness in Scripture, active community involvement, dedicated disciple-making, and impactful worldly engagement for the sake of Christ's message.      Enjoyed the message?

Teacher: David Marvin. In this message, David Marvin explores the purpose and design of sex according to God's plan. Sex is meant to be an exclusive and protected gift to be enjoyed between one man and one woman in the context of marriage. However, our culture has devalued sex, leading to pain and regret. We learn how sex has permanence and bonding power and how serving and sacrificing for our spouse leads to a deeper and more meaningful connection. Despite past mistakes, God's love and forgiveness offer hope and healing. This series, Sex By Design, will discuss how we have departed from the perfect God-given design for gender and sexuality. Parents of kids in Middle School and younger, we recommend that you use caution in letting your kids stream this series.                              Enjoyed the message?

Teacher: David Marvin. It's week 3 of our Sex By Design series, and today we're diving into God's design of women. We're going to see the Scriptures elevate four qualities in women: they are reflectors of God's image, strong helpers, unique and distinct in their creation, and life-givers both biologically and spiritually. The Scriptures encourage women to embrace their God-given value and purpose, even when societal norms may undervalue or misrepresent them. We're also going to see the importance of mothers in bringing forth life and nurturing the next generation, both physically and spiritually, echoing the sacrificial love of Christ. This series, Sex By Design, will discuss how we have departed from the perfect God-given design for gender and sexuality. Parents of kids in Middle School and younger, we recommend that you use caution in letting your kids stream this series.                              Enjoyed the message?

Teacher: David Marvin. This week we are discussing the importance of biblical masculinity and God's design for men. We're in the middle of an epidemic of fatherlessness, and it's all the more important to have a biblical vision for what God's man is supposed to be. David Marvin explores four truths from the creation account in Genesis, focusing on the need for men to courageously follow God's word. Jesus is presented as the ultimate model of biblical masculinity, and we also see the role of men in leading, loving, and protecting women. Lastly, God emphasizes men's responsibility to better God's world through raising godly children, excelling at work, and living for something beyond this world. We're calling men to be courageous, godly, and impactful in their lives and communities. This series, Sex By Design, will discuss how we have departed from the perfect God-given design for gender and sexuality.

Teacher: Josh Wilhite. Continuing our In Living Color series, we find ourselves on a boat with Jesus in the middle of a raging storm. In Matthew 8:23-27, the disciples' problem was not the storm or God's apparent passivity but their fear and lack of faith. Similarly, we can find peace and connection with Christ in chaos and challenges by trusting in God's power and working in their lives.                                       Enjoyed the message?

Teacher: David Marvin. Happy Mother's Day! As we celebrate moms this Sunday, we took a look at one of the only moms referenced in our New Testament: Eunice, the mother of Timothy. What we see in Eunice's life is the love that she modeled, the lessons she taught, and the legacy that she left for her son. No matter what stage of life you're in or whether or not you have kids, we can all learn from how Eunice lived her life and the impact she had for Christ's kingdom.   #jesus #planotx #sermon #church #sermonseries #bible   Follow us on social Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/citybridgecc/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@citybridgecc Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/citybridgecc   If you enjoyed this video then please subscribe to the channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfKIJCD-2zSng7foMKkYEvg                                                                                              Enjoyed the message?
