Hear Latest SermonWe Are Citylight
It’s far too easy to live life on cruise control, forgetting that as Christians we have a unique calling on our lives. Specifically, as a church, Citylight exists to make disciples of Jesus to the glory of God. The key questions then are: what is a disciple and how do we go about making them? This four week series seeks to answer those questions and remind us of our identity.

As the Father sent the Jesus His Son, so Christians are meant to be a community that foregoes temporary comforts to send and be sent in order to expand the reach of the gospel of grace.

At Citylight, we are a worshipping community on mission. But if that is true of us, we cannot simply be that and stay there. Our worship, community, and mission force us outward, to multiply ourselves so that the gospel reaches the ends of the earth, starting in Philadelphia.

God's devotion for us doesn't stop at a devotion to Him and one another, it also pushes us outward to devote ourselves to His mission. As we receive the gospel, we are entrusted with it, to take it to those who have not yet heard. In this text, we see what it is, how to do it, and why we're able to.

As we consider who we are at Citylight, we begin with our first Core Value: Worship. We are worshippers, and in fact this statement is not so profound, because we will see every human is worshipping something. Naturally none of us worship God, but by the power of His mercies, our worship can be redirected to the only thing that satisfies. We explore how in this sermon.
