Citygate Ministries

Pastor David concludes the last pillar in our Vision Series. He talks about being on mission together and what that means in our everyday life.

We are not a church with a missions program, we are a group of Jesus followers that give our lives to be on and continue the mission of God in our world.

Why do we need community?

Why do some people refuse community and others embrace it?

God made us with a desire to be connected to people. Listen to Pastor Alex as he dives into our pillar on Courageous Community.

We completed the pillar of worship, learning that the greatest act of worship is to demonstrate an emptied out obedient life. Jesus being our greatest example of taking off His sovereignty and taking on the form of man to die, being obedient even to the death of a cross. We learned that in that position of obedience God will shake the earth. This week, Pastor David talks about one of the essentials of our walk with God. That is the pillar of faith.

Last week, Pastor David started our study of worship that focused on private moments of worship that produce close proximity and whispers from God. Join us this week as he teaches us what happens when private worship goes public.

Last Sunday, we studied the pillar of deliberate discipleship and how important it is to move in our faith journey passed being a believer to a follower or disciple of Jesus. This week, Pastor David will be discussing the pillar of Extravagant Worship.

"There is a big difference between a believer and a follower in Christ. All of us start as a believer, very few it seems find the path to living or following Christ into actions. Commitment requires action!"

This week Pastor David discusses what happens after a person becomes Radically Redeemed. Salvation is the beginning of the race and discipleship is what happens during the race on your way to the finish line.

Last week was Vision Sunday and Pastor David shared the course that Citygate would navigate for 2019. Part of that navigation was building on a firm foundation of 6 Pillars that make up the Spiritual DNA of Citygate and today we are going to detail out the pillar of Radical Redemption.

We have been preparing our hearts and minds for three weeks to see what God has in store for us in 2019. We have worked on our blind spots and are ready to see!

Pastor David Pleasant laid out the vision of the church for this year, with the day appropriately called "Vision Sunday." This year of 2019 is both going to be filled with excitement and change as Citygate navigates toward our future.

As we continue in a series on vision, Guest Speaker Stephen Johnson communicates that Jesus, the light of the world, displays his works to the world by opening the eyes of the blind.

Pastor David examines a blind man in Mark 9:46-56 and reveals what the scriptures testify is the key to true vision.
