  • 273 // Joshua Overview
    2026/02/15

    The book of Joshua is not merely military history. It is theological history. It records real events in real places, but it tells them through the lens of covenant faithfulness and divine purpose.

    Joshua picks up immediately after the death of Moses. Israel stands on the edge of the Promised Land. The Exodus generation has passed. A new leader rises. The promise given to Abraham centuries earlier now moves toward visible fulfillment.

    This message explores:

    • The genre of Joshua as theological history
    • The historical transition from Moses to Joshua
    • The Abrahamic and Mosaic Covenants
    • The land as inheritance, not achievement
    • The role of obedience in experiencing promise
    • Rest that is real, but not yet ultimate
    • God's presence as the foundation of courage

    Joshua answers crucial questions for Israel:

    Was the land earned? No. It was given. Did Israel succeed because of strength? No. Because of the Lord. What sustains the mission after a great leader dies? The covenant faithfulness of God

    As we begin this journey, we are reminded that God prepares His people, sends His people, and establishes His people across generations. His purposes are not fragile. His promises are not temporary. His presence does not expire.

    And that changes how we walk forward today.

  • 272 // Ask Me Anything
    2026/02/08

    Questions matter. Curiosity matters. And doubts don't disqualify anyone from the conversation.

    Ask Me Anything is a space created for people with real questions about faith, God, Scripture, and the world we live in. Instead of quick answers or polished speeches, this ministry invites honest dialogue, thoughtful listening, and patient responses rooted in the truth of the gospel.

    In this panel-style gathering, members of our Ask Me Anything team model how we engage meaningful questions with humility, clarity, and care. Not to win arguments. Not to silence doubt. But to create space for truth, trust, and deeper understanding.

    Whether you're skeptical, searching, or simply curious, Ask Me Anything is an invitation to explore faith openly and thoughtfully.

  • 271 // Vision Sunday
    2026/02/01

    Welcome to Vision Sunday!

    This weekend is all about reminding ourselves of who we are as followers of Jesus, and clarifying what how we're going to grow as a church in our next season.

    At CityBridge, our mission is simple and steady: calling all people to be fully devoted followers of Christ.

    This weekend, we look at how Jesus forms disciples through a clear and life-giving discipleship pathway. We are called to believe in Christ, belong to His church, be equipped in His Word, and be engaged in His mission. These four movements shape who we are and guide where we are going as a church.

    As we grow together in this next season, God is inviting us to equip the church and engage the city with the hope of the gospel. We're reminded that discipleship is not accidental. It is intentional, joyful, and shared.

    2026/01/25

    Haggai 1 tells the story of God's people who love Him, believe in His mission, and yet allow delay and distraction to take over. In this message, we explore how obedience often stalls not because of rebellion, but because of misplaced priorities.

    This message calls us to consider our ways, respond to God's Word, and trust His promise to be with us as we put Him first again.

  • 269 // Hearts Like Jesus
    2026/01/19

    As Vision Sunday approaches, it's easy to focus on plans, strategies, and goals. But before Jesus ever sends us out, He invites us to come close. In Matthew 11:25–30, Jesus does something surprising. He tells us exactly what His heart is like.

    In this message, we explore why having eyes of faith is not enough on its own. We also need hearts shaped by the gentleness, humility, and compassion of Jesus. A church can have the right beliefs, the right mission, and the right activity, and still miss the heart of Christ.

    You're invited to slow down, behold Jesus, and allow His heart to reshape how we love God, love people, and engage our city. Because how we live out the mission matters just as much as what the mission is.

  • 268 // Plano Needs CityBridge
    2026/01/13

    Today we walk through Jonah 4, a chapter that forces us to wrestle with God's mercy, our comfort, and the mission we've been given. After Nineveh repents, Jonah is angry, depressed, and ready to quit. Why? Because God's compassion reached people Jonah didn't want to love. Through a plant, a worm, and a scorching wind, God exposes Jonah's heart and asks a question that still confronts us today: Should I not care about this city?

    As we look ahead, we're reminded that God is not primarily interested in keeping us comfortable. He's committed to shaping us — and sending us — for the sake of people who need His grace. This message invites us to see our city through God's eyes and respond with obedience, courage, and love.

    Standing on the edge of God's promise is exciting. It's also terrifying.

    In Numbers 13, God's people stand at the doorstep of the Promised Land. The land is good. The promise is clear. But fear creeps in, and suddenly, giants look bigger than God. Ten spies focus on what they lack. Two of them remember who God is.

    In this message, we explore how fear shapes our vision, how faith reframes reality, and why God's vision always calls for a decision before it calls for a plan. The difference between moving forward and shrinking back isn't the size of the obstacle—it's whether we include God in the equation.

    As Vision Sunday approaches at CityBridge, this passage invites us to ask an honest question:

    Will we be shaped by fear, or formed by faith?

  • 266 // Measured Days, Meaningful Lives
    2025/12/28

    The end of the year has a way of slowing us down. We look back. We take stock. We start asking questions that don't usually make it into our busy days.

    In Psalm 90, Moses invites us to do exactly that. He reminds us that our days are limited, God is eternal, and wisdom begins when we learn to live with that perspective. This message explores what it means to number our days, take sin seriously, and anchor our lives in the goodness of God rather than the temporary things that so easily consume our time.

    If you've ever wondered whether your life is being spent on what truly matters, Psalm 90 offers clarity, hope, and a path toward a life that is both measured and meaningful.
