New Series Starts Sunday
You know your church is getting old when you start your second sermon series!
It’s easy for me to track the age of our church right now because we’re in sync with the NFL season. So this Sunday is week 5!
I’m looking forward to starting a new teaching series straight from the New Testament Book of James. This letter, written by Jesus’ brother, has a lot to say to us about persevering through trials, the power of our words, the value of waiting, and the potential of prayer.
This Sunday we’ll kick things by studying a surprising command. Count it all joy when you meet trials of various kinds. What you’ll discover may surprise you–and encourage you!
See you Sunday!
Kickoff!
Hard to believe that it’s almost been a full year since Leah and I moved to Philly! And it’s hard to describe how much we’ve grown to love this city–parking wars and all!
For the past year we’ve been eagerly anticipating the official launch of CityLife Church on September 11, and it’s finally here!
September 11 is an important day for several reasons.
- It’s the 10 year anniversary of the tragedy that forever changed our country.
- It’s my birthday.
- It’s the day my daughter Claire turns 6 months old.
- It’s the start of the NFL season!
