When Self-Love Is Selfish

Sun, 12 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT

In a culture that promotes self-love and prioritizing our own desires, what does it truly mean to follow Jesus? This message from Philippians 2:3–4 and Matthew 16:24 challenges the modern mantra of “Treat Yo’ Self” and explores the biblical call to self-denial, humility, and loving others above ourselves.

Discover why prioritizing self-love often leaves us feeling empty, anxious, and unfulfilled. Learn how Jesus’ countercultural invitation to take up our cross and follow Him leads to deeper relationships, purpose, and joy. Together, we’ll ask: In what areas of life are we loving ourselves more than God and others? And what is God calling us to do about it?

The Danger With "Your Truth"

Sat, 04 Jan 2025 19:17:57 GMT

In today’s message, we explore The Danger With "Your Truth", diving into one of life’s most important questions: What is truth? Anchored in John 18:37–38, this sermon confronts the modern idea of subjective truth, contrasting it with the absolute, unchanging truth of God’s Word.

We’ll unpack the risks of living by feelings and personal perspectives instead of aligning with God’s eternal truth. Discover why truth is not merely something we believe but someone we follow—Jesus Christ. When we surrender "our truth" for His truth, we experience freedom and transformation.

Sat, 21 Dec 2024 21:36:10 GMT

This week in our Carols series, we dive into the timeless hymn O Come All Ye Faithful.

Together, we reflect on the profound truths found in this carol and the power of Jesus to meet us where we are and help us become who He has called us to be.

Discover the deep meaning behind the beloved Christmas carol O Holy Night as we explore the hope it offers in a weary world. This sermon dives into the rich history of the song and connects its message to Lamentations 3, where the prophet Jeremiah moves from mourning to faith, finding hope in God's promises.

In the chaos of our lives, much like that holy night in Bethlehem, we can experience a "thrill of hope" and the promise of a new and glorious morning. Learn how a single day with Christ can bring exactly what you need, the hope to keep going, and the help you've been seeking.

Talking To People Not In This Rooom

Sat, 16 Nov 2024 13:25:09 GMT

This week at CityWell, we dive into James 5:1-6—a powerful passage with a warning for the rich oppressors. James, in a bold rhetorical move, addresses a group unlikely to hear his words, but his message is vital for the believers who do.

The sermon explores three reminders from this text:

Nothing in this Life Will Last
James warns that the wealth of the world—food security, clothing, and even gold—will decay and disappear. What would James call out as status symbols today? Cars, homes, investments? The challenge remains: are we building treasures on earth or storing up rewards in heaven?
God Hears and Responds
James reassures us that God hears the cries of those who’ve been wronged. When the powerful exploit the weak, the Lord of Hosts, the God of Armies, stands as their defender.
God Will Judge
The passage closes with a sobering reminder: those who indulge in luxury, hoard resources, and harm others will face God’s judgment. But for believers, the good news is clear—through Christ, we are freed from this judgment.

Living With God’s Will In Mind

Sat, 09 Nov 2024 17:37:03 GMT

This sermon, titled "Living with God’s Will in Mind," draws from James 4:13-17 to explore the importance of aligning our plans with God’s purpose. In our fast-paced, goal-driven culture, we often prioritize personal success over spiritual surrender. Yet, James reminds us that life is fleeting, likened to a "mist" that quickly vanishes. The message challenges us to say, "If it is the Lord's will," and to make God central in our planning. It cautions against prideful boasting about future success, urging us to seek guidance and purpose in God’s will rather than our own understanding.

Key points include the need to consult God before making decisions, being open to redirection, checking our motives, and remembering God’s sovereignty. By living with a "Lord willing" heart, we surrender our need for control, trusting that God's plans are for our ultimate good. Join us as we learn how to approach our lives with humility, faith, and a willingness to let God lead.

Me and We – Not Us and Them

Sat, 02 Nov 2024 16:36:37 GMT

In this thought-provoking sermon titled "Me and We – Not Us and Them," based on James 4:8-12, we explore the profound topics of repentance, humility, and community. The message emphasizes the importance of genuine repentance by "drawing near to God" and humbling ourselves, allowing Him to lift us up. It also addresses the harmful impact of slander and gossip, particularly in a church setting. Rather than judging or over-sharing, we are called to create a supportive, trusting environment that fosters healing and growth in faith.

This message challenges us to self-examine: Are we harboring judgment? Are we over-sharing information that doesn’t belong to us? By embracing repentance in our lives and avoiding judgment of others, we contribute to a community that honors God and supports one another in love and integrity.

Harsh words from a loving God

Sat, 26 Oct 2024 16:35:50 GMT

In this powerful sermon titled "Harsh Words from a Loving God," we dive deep into James 4:4-7 to understand God’s jealousy, grace, and the nature of true spiritual commitment. The message begins by exploring the challenging passage where James calls out "adulterous people," reflecting the gravity of divided loyalty and the call for unwavering faith. With vivid examples, we see how God’s jealousy is not one of envy but a fervent desire for us to place Him above all else. This sermon also examines how God views our wandering hearts as spiritual adultery, akin to a spouse’s betrayal, yet with open arms, He offers grace to those who humbly submit.

The message encourages us to resist worldly attachments, to return to God wholeheartedly, and to understand that true repentance means aligning our lives with His will. Through this process, we find purpose, protection, and a future with Him. God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble, reminding us to stay anchored in His love and to resist the devil’s attempts to sway us. Join us as we unpack this stirring passage to gain a clearer understanding of God’s fierce love and call to live fully devoted to Him.

What is Christian Hedonism?

Sat, 05 Oct 2024 14:34:17 GMT

In today's sermon, we explore James 4:1-3 and confront a central question: are we living for our own pleasure, or for the glory of God? As we navigate a culture obsessed with personal gratification—from social media's quick dopamine hits to the processed foods on our shelves—we'll uncover the hidden dangers of hedonism. James challenges us to look beyond short-term pleasures and consider the deeper, lasting joy found in God's presence.

We’ll dive into the Greek term "hedone," which is often translated as "desires" or "pleasures," and examine how this concept manifests in our everyday lives. From the medical field's approach to pain to the endless scrolling designed to keep us coming back for more, we'll see how our pursuit of pleasure often leads to emptiness. Drawing parallels to the story of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15), we'll discuss how chasing pleasure can leave us feeling lost and how true fulfillment comes from surrendering to God.

Ultimately, this sermon invites us to assess where our priorities lie. Are we seeking happiness over holiness, comfort over character? When we align our desires with God's will, we find that the deepest satisfaction comes not from the pursuit of pleasure itself, but from delighting in the Lord.

Primary Passage: James 4:1-3

Other Passages Used: Luke 15:11-32, Ecclesiastes 2:1-11

Wisdom

Sat, 21 Sep 2024 14:33:12 GMT

In today's message, we dive into James 3:13-18, contrasting godly wisdom with worldly wisdom. We reflect on what it means to be an "ideal team player" through the lens of humility, hunger, and smarts, inspired by Patrick Lencioni's framework. The sermon explores how these traits can be refined and transformed when rooted in God's wisdom. We discuss how worldly wisdom often leads to disorder and self-centered ambition, while godly wisdom starts with purity, resulting in peace and righteousness. Our call is to prioritize holiness above all, allowing it to guide our actions, attitudes, and relationships as we seek true wisdom from God.

Primary Passages: James 3:13-18, 1 Corinthians 14:33

Scripture References: James 3:13-18, James 1:5, 1 Corinthians 14:33, stories from the Tower of Babel, and Cain and Abel

Praises and Cursing

Sat, 07 Sep 2024 14:30:20 GMT

This week's sermon from James 3:1-12 addresses the tremendous power of the tongue and its influence over our lives and those around us. Words have the power to direct, destroy, and delight, and the way we use them can either build others up or tear them down. From guiding ships with small rudders to setting forests ablaze with a single spark, James uses vivid imagery to illustrate the impact our speech can have. In a world where it’s easy to cut others down, this passage challenges us to use our words wisely and intentionally.

As we delve into the power of the tongue to direct (James 3:3-5), we’ll discuss its ability to influence and lead, both positively and negatively. We’ll see how our words can destroy relationships, stir up strife, and even corrupt our own lives if left unchecked (James 3:6-7). Yet, the tongue also has the potential to delight—bringing praise to God and encouragement to others (James 3:8-12).

We'll reflect on the fire of the Holy Spirit that rested on the disciples at Pentecost (Acts 2:3), contrasting it with the destructive fire that James warns about. Which fire is guiding your tongue? Through practical examples, biblical wisdom, and personal stories, we'll explore how to tame our tongues and use our words for God's glory.

Primary Passage: James 3:1-12

Other Passages Used: Psalm 141:3, Acts 2:3, 1 Kings 12, Proverbs 18:21

Fasting

Sat, 17 Aug 2024 21:10:57 GMT

The discussion on fasting focuses on its spiritual significance rather than just a physical practice. The speaker emphasizes that fasting, according to the Bible, is meant to center our lives on Christ, discipline our bodies, focus our prayers, and break spiritual bondages.

Key Points on Fasting:

Scriptural Basis: Fasting is mentioned in Matthew 6:16-18 and Matthew 9:14-15. Jesus teaches that fasting is expected from His followers but should be done in private, not for show or to gain human approval. It is an act of humility and sincerity before God.
Example of Jesus: Jesus fasted for 40 days in the desert, illustrating reliance on God rather than physical sustenance (Matthew 4:1-2). This period of fasting prepared Him spiritually and demonstrated His commitment to God's will.
Fasting as a Spiritual Discipline: Fasting is not commanded as a requirement but is seen as an invitation to draw closer to God. It is a voluntary act of worship that allows believers to express their dependence on God and deepen their spiritual life.
Purposes of Fasting:

To Center on Christ: Fasting helps believers focus on God and align their priorities with His will. It's a way to set aside physical needs to concentrate on spiritual growth and communion with God.
To Discipline the Body: Fasting teaches self-control and helps resist temptations, echoing the idea that spiritual discipline can lead to greater strength in other areas of life.
To Focus Prayers: Fasting often accompanies prayer, intensifying the believer's plea to God. It is a form of spiritual warfare and a way to seek God's guidance more fervently.
To Break Bondages: Fasting can lead to spiritual breakthroughs and liberation from various forms of bondage, both spiritual and physical.

Clarification on What Fasting is Not: Fasting, in the biblical sense, involves abstaining from food, not just giving up luxuries or engaging in a restricted diet like the "Daniel fast." It is not a practice done for health benefits or as part of a trend but a profound spiritual exercise.

Overall, the message encourages believers to understand and practice fasting as a powerful tool for spiritual growth and alignment with God's purposes, rather than a mere ritual or health trend.

In this insightful sermon, we delve into the essence of faith as presented in James 2:14-26. Uncover the profound relationship between faith and deeds, and understand how true faith is more than intellectual belief—it's transformative and action-oriented.

Key Themes:

1. Faith in Action:

James 2:14-26 emphasizes that faith without deeds is dead. Just as riding a bike transforms from theory to experience, true faith moves beyond knowledge to lived actions.

2. Two Forms of Belief:

-Cognitive Recognition: Acknowledging facts intellectually, like believing in a mathematical truth.

-Deeply Held Convictions: Heartfelt beliefs that shape our identity and drive our actions.

James illustrates with examples from Abraham and Rahab, whose faith was demonstrated through their actions, showing that genuine faith results in obedient and loving deeds.

Reflect on the difference between head faith and heart faith. True faith should influence daily life, leading to actions aligned with Jesus' teachings.

Faith or Works

Sat, 13 Jul 2024 17:50:19 GMT

Join us for an enlightening sermon on the relationship between faith and works, as we explore James 2:14-26. Discover how genuine faith manifests through actions and how both elements are crucial in a believer's life.

Key Themes:

1. Faith and Deeds: James 2:14-26 stresses that faith without deeds is dead. True faith is shown through our actions, just as a healthy tree is known by its fruit.

2. Examples from Daily Life:

The Overcommitted Volunteer: Jane feels overwhelmed by her numerous church activities, believing her works earn God’s favor.
The Comfortable Believer: John professes faith but rarely engages in spiritual practices or serving others.
The Balanced Believer: Sarah exemplifies a balanced faith, integrating personal spiritual growth with service to others.

3. Scriptural Insights: James uses examples of Abraham and Rahab to illustrate that faith, complemented by actions, is complete and genuine. Paul’s teachings in Ephesians 2:8-9 and Galatians 2:16 are also examined to reconcile faith and works in the process of salvation.

Reflect and Act:

Evaluate Your Faith: Consider if your faith leads to actionable deeds. Are you like Jane, John, or Sarah?
Balance Faith and Works: Understand that while salvation is through grace, true faith naturally results in good works.

Key Questions Addressed:

How do faith and works coexist in a believer's life?
What does true faith look like in action?
How can believers ensure their faith is not just intellectual but transformative?

Engage with us in this deep dive into faith and works, and let your belief reflect in your actions, embodying the teachings of Jesus and James.

What Is Baptism?

Sat, 06 Jul 2024 17:43:28 GMT

In this powerful sermon, the meaning and significance of baptism are explored through key scriptures such as Romans 6:1–11 and Matthew 28:18–20. The message is grounded in the Word of God, emphasizing the Bible as our source of truth, hope, and understanding.

Key Points Covered:

1. The Great Commission: Matthew 28:18-20 highlights Jesus' command to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, emphasizing our purpose as followers of Christ.

2. Public Declaration: Baptism is a public declaration of faith, similar to a wedding ring as a symbol of commitment. In the 1st century, baptism was performed in public places, boldly announcing, "I have decided to follow Jesus!"

3. Washing Away Sins: Baptism represents a ceremonial washing away of sins, symbolizing being cleansed and made new in Christianity.

4. New Life: John 3 and Romans 6:1-11 explain how baptism signifies dying to our old self and rising to new life in Christ, symbolizing being born again and embracing a Christ-centered life.

5. Obedience to Christ: Baptism is an act of obedience, marking the start of spiritual growth and transformation.

Common Questions Answered:

Ready to be baptized? Yes, if Jesus is your Savior.
Is baptism required for salvation? No, it’s a public declaration.
Can I be re-baptized? Yes, if your initial baptism wasn’t a personal decision.
Who can baptize? Any follower of Jesus.
Does the location matter? No, what matters is the act of obedience.

Every Knee Will Bow

Join us for Part 5 of our new message series "Empty". Today we are looking at Philippians 2:10-11. CityWell is a life-giving church serving the Coatesville PA community and beyond. We are currently online only and will be launching in-person services in later 2021. CityWell is a church that exists to glorify God by multiplying disciples. We are unafraid to look, talk and do things in new and unique ways. We reach people no one else is reaching because we are willing to do things no one else is doing.We put it all on the line for Jesus because God isn’t looking for casual Christians, but committed Disciples. We recognize our daily choices matter, so we choose to live in a community with other believers, we choose to use the gifts God has put in us, we choose to be generous, and we choose to have disciplined lives.We will not let doing ministry distract us from being disciples because we care more about how people are doing than what people are doing. We care more about seeing people grow in their love for Jesus than we do about recurring volunteers. We are generous within our church, community, and the universal church. We believe generosity starts when we give out of sacrifice rather than overflow. We are just getting started but we are following a God who is able to do more than we could ask or imagines. So we will continue to pray, study scripture, and chase after the Holy Spirit's guidance believing God will continue to grow the vision He has put in us!During the stream, we will encourage you to text us at different points.
