Pastor Jeff Osborne returns to Citizen Church today as our guest speaker, back after his powerful message at our Rally Conference earlier this year. Pastor Jeff is bringing a message titled "Are You Cozy?" from John 5:1-6, the story of the man at the pool of Bethesda who had been sick for thirty-eight years. Jesus asks him a question that cuts right to the heart: "Do you want to be made well?" Pastor Jeff will walk us through fo...

You’ve Been Given More Than You Think — Are You Using It, or Burying It? Every one of us has been entrusted with something — time, talent, influence, resources, calling. The question isn’t whether God has given you something to steward. The question is what you’re doing with it. In this message, we walk through Jesus’ Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30) and uncover three truths that refra...

Have you ever prayed for something so long that you finally just... stopped asking? Not because you stopped believing God could — but because you weren't sure anymore that He would. If that's where you're at, this message is for you. In Luke 18:1-8, Jesus tells the story of a widow with no power, no status, and no advocate — who refuses to stop showing up before an unjust judge. It's not a story about praying harder. I...

You love being forgiven. But forgiving someone who actually hurt you? That's a different story. Maybe you walked into today carrying a name. A memory. A betrayal that was real, intentional, and never apologized for. And somewhere along the way you picked up the idea that forgiving means forgetting — or that you have to feel it before you can do it. No wonder it feels impossible. In this message, Pastor Chris walks through J...

Every father wonders if he's giving his kids what they really need. Every son or daughter — at some point — wonders the same thing about themselves: Who am I? Am I loved? Where am I going? Why am I here? This Father's Day, Pastor Dustin and his son Aiden — our Middle School Pastor — team up to answer those questions through Scripture, sharing the four gifts every father gives: Identity, Security, Direction,...

Most people secretly wonder if they've gone too far to come back — too far into sin, too far from God, too far from who they were meant to be. The Parable of the Prodigal Son isn't just a story about a rebellious son who wasted everything. It's a story about a Father who runs. In this message, Pastor Layla walks through Luke 15 and shows us that there are actually two sons who are lost — one who ran from the Father, a...

Have you ever watched someone else get blessed and felt a quiet sting instead of joy? You're not alone — and Jesus knew that tension well. In Week 2 of Stories: Parables of Jesus, Pastor walks through one of the most uncomfortable parables Jesus ever told — the Workers in the Vineyard. A landowner pays everyone the same wage, regardless of how long they worked. And the people who worked the longest are furious. It soun...

You've heard the stories before. But have you actually seen yourself in them? Jesus didn't just tell stories to inform — He told them to reveal. As Warren Wiersbe put it, a parable starts as a familiar picture, but as you sit with it, it becomes a mirror. And most people don't like what they see. In Stories: The Parables of Jesus, we're walking through the parables and asking the question Jesus was always really asking: What ...

No matter where you are in your faith journey, you are one step from unstuck. In this message, we look at four spiritual starting points that show up throughout Scripture — and what it looks like to take the next step from each one. Some of us want Jesus nearby but not in control. Some of us believe, but are wrestling with doubt at the same time. Some of us are still asking questions, circling the edges of faith. And some of...

Whether you're stepping into a new season or navigating the storms already around you, this message is for everyone. Three questions every skilled decision-maker must ask: WHERE are you placing yourself? The envi...

Week 3 of our series Same Power takes us into one of the most powerful transformation stories in Scripture—the encounter of Saul with Jesus on the road to Damascus. In Acts 9, we meet a man driven by anger, control, and opposition to the very movement God was building. Yet in a moment, everything changes. This message reminds us that no matter where you are, what you’ve done, or how far you feel from God, He is not dis...

What does it look like to truly live in the power of the Holy Spirit? In this message, we explore Ephesians 1:19–20 and the incredible truth that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead is at work in us as believers. Looking through the Book of Acts, we discover four clear marks of a Spirit-empowered life and how they still apply to us today. First, a Spirit-empowered life is transformed from the inside out. It’...

In this powerful message, Pastor Galen walks us through the final week of Jesus’ life, beginning with His triumphal entry into Jerusalem. As crowds shouted “Hosanna” and welcomed Him as King, many didn’t fully understand who He truly was—or what He came to do. This message reveals how Palm Sunday is not a random moment, but the fulfillment of a story that began all the way back in Exodus. From the bloo...

What happens when Jesus doesn’t just show up… but takes over? In Week 6 of our Jesus Is King series, Pastor Dustin walks us through the powerful story of Zacchaeus in Luke 19 and challenges a question many of us avoid: Is Jesus present in your life… or is He actually in charge? When Jesus arrives, ownership changes. Not just in theory—but in how we live, give, and prioritize. This message dives into the t...

Today we walked through the story of Bartimaeus in Mark 10:46–52; a man who couldn’t see physically, but spiritually saw something the crowd missed. When he heard that Jesus was passing by, he cried out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” And his faith literally stopped Jesus in His tracks. We were reminded that faith sees Jesus for who He really is, faith refuses to stay silent, and faith moves when...

In Week 4 of our Jesus Is King series, Pastor Dustin takes us to the powerful moment of the Transfiguration in Matthew 17. On the mountain, the disciples see the glory of Jesus revealed—but they quickly learn that mountaintop moments with God are meant for revelation, not residence. While those experiences inspire our faith, they were never meant to be the place we stay. Most of life is lived in the valley. It’s in the ...
